Chapter 14: Sheng Qingquan (Pleading): Spoiling a Child Is Like Killing Them!

Chapter 14 Sheng Qingquan (earnestly): Spoiling a child is like killing them!

Cats will never be slaves, but those not in the cat world can't understand.

Hearing its meow,

Sheng Qingquan didn't dare touch its belly, so he carefully observed the kitten's belly again.

It didn't seem as flat as before, and he looked at the remaining food on the table.

The most favored tender beef was only a third left. Other meat dishes, except for the fish which was only tasted reluctantly, had been eaten quite a bit.

Even if it wasn't completely full, it was at least seventy percent full.

Seeing the kitten finish its meow and wanting to continue feasting on the meat dishes,

Sheng Qingquan quickly moved the meat dish away and placed what seemed to be the most delicious vegetable dish in front of the kitten.

"Eating only meat will cause constipation, right?"

"Meat and vegetables should be balanced for good nutrition. Let's eat some vegetables."

Just a second ago, he was talking about the extinction of a race, about apocalyptic events.

Everyone was extremely tense, and the next second Sheng Qingquan's thoughts turned back to food and drink.

The staff, who had been on edge, were momentarily speechless. Amused yet relieved, their tension eased a bit.

"Actually, if you think about it, it's not such a big contrast," a bodyguard stood up and stretched, "Earlier, it was about the survival of humanity, but now, whether the kitten eats well is also a matter of great importance to the safety of Tianlanxing."

That's true, but the throbbing forehead from listening to his thoughts earlier, now interrupted, didn't feel as painful.

"Meow meow!" The kitten doesn't want to eat!

The kitten disdainfully stepped back twice, bypassing the vegetable dish, trying to head towards the nearest meat dish.

Looking at it this way, this fish doesn't seem so bad after all.

It has its own deliciousness. Hmm, let the great cat lord savor it carefully.

"Don't like this dish?"

"No problem, there are others."

Sheng Qingquan pretended not to understand the kitten's intentions, smoothly switching to another vegetable dish.

Seeing the vegetable dish pushed in front of it again, fully realizing the other's determination, the kitten, understanding that it had to eat these vegetables today, plopped down on the table.

It adorably cooed at Sheng Qingquan.

Sheng Qingquan remained unmoved, even arranging the vegetables around the kitten, encircling it with a pile of greens.

Damn it, wasn't this bipedal creature always indulgent towards me?

As a fellow alien, where has your tolerance for the young gone?

Weren't you doing well before? Keep it up!

"Meow meow meow!"

The cat wasn't happy, but there was nothing it could do.

The cat reluctantly got up, sniffed among the plates of vegetables, and carefully selected the one that smelled the best. Reluctantly, he lowered his head, opened his mouth, and chewed.

Sheng Qingquan felt satisfied.

"Great, nailed the meat and veggie balance, just like I planned!"

"If the parents go ballistic because I'm not letting their kid eat meat, I'll shove the nutrition book right under their noses and let them see the importance of eating both meat and vegetables with their own eyes!"

"Loving a child doesn't mean coddling them; too much spoiling can ruin them. One must learn to love children correctly."

"This is absolutely not about revenge."

"This is all for the good of the child!"

Sheng Qingquan's thoughts were overwhelming.

Wait... is this really possible?

The staff were stunned, but on second thought, why not? It's totally doable.

And with more situations like this, when the child's health is checked and found to be good, lively and active, any later complaints from the kitten won't be taken seriously by the parents.

At least the parents won't fly off the handle right away but will calm down and listen to human opinions, and check the facts.

"I've got plenty of nutrition books, and I'm ready to donate every single one!" said the nutritionist, who had been called in just in case and had long understood the situation, now speaking with conviction.

"Today I scored some extra cash. This million-dollar bounty can really come in handy. Besides being able to use it as the kitten's food expenses, I can also order some other supplies."

"For example, nutrition books, which can be bought right now."

Sheng Qingquan was planning ahead.

The kitten, catching on a bit, looked up while chewing vegetables, his eyes wide with terror, staring at Sheng Qingquan.

"Meow!"

You evil grown-up, you tyrant!

Why do aliens have to pick on each other!

Facing the kitten's glare, Sheng Qingquan was clueless and thought he wanted to avoid eating vegetables again. So he nudged the vegetables closer to the kitten.

"Meow meow!"

Ahhh, darn it. The kitten had no choice but to keep munching on the veggies, albeit reluctantly.

Sheng Qingquan, having gotten his way, went back to reading his novel.

In the story, the cat parent was enraged and let loose his fury.

"He wanted to make these Tianlanxing people, from now on, feel genuine fear and terror at the sight of a kitten, not daring to harm, only to please."

"To make them regret it for eternity. To remind them that humans fell so low because they wronged a cat star person."

"From now on, the genes of humans will be engraved with reverence for cat star people!"

["You said that Tianlanxing people treat cats like this, such behavior is love, and there is no meaning of insult or molestation."]

"But this is your idea, not the cat's. What kind of life you will lead in the future depends on how the cats will respond to you."

"These were the exact words of the cat parents."

"The Gene Serum from the cat parents on Tianlan Star naturally conflicts with the cats there. Although the cats evolved successfully, their intelligence did not awaken properly."

"The cat parents were not actually surprised that they did not successfully evolve into intelligent beings."

"After all, evolving into intelligent beings is not an easy task. It's not something that can be achieved with the level of Gene Serum he has. Such a serum is already a banned substance. He couldn't obtain it, and even if he did, he wouldn't use it here."

"What he didn't expect was that the Gene Serum not only made the cats stronger, but also more ferocious."

"Cats are naturally predators, and hunting is their instinct. After becoming more brutal, the cats, unable to control their ferocity, turned into complete predators."

"Not just humans, but everything they saw—even their own kind—they would attack without mercy."

"Tear apart, tear everything to shreds!"

"But when facing other threats, they would cooperate with each other, and then decide the winner."

"This made the cats extremely troublesome."

"High combat strength, high defense, strong power, and yet agile and flexible. Moreover, when faced with enemies, they would reluctantly suppress their killing instincts to cooperate against them. Consequently, humans were utterly defeated."

"Particularly since the cat parents destroyed humanity's secret weapons before departing. This made human resistance seem even more futile. In the end, even if everyone set aside their differences and united, it was hard to change the devastated world."

"Humans persisted for less than a hundred years before ultimately going extinct. But the cats on Tianlan Star didn't fare well either."

"They were like predators locked in an arena. After clearing all the spectators, the only enemies left in the arena were each other. They fought until only one remained."

"When the last cat's lifespan came to an end, Azure Star fell silent once more."

"'After an unknown number of years, this beautiful planet began to show new vitality. The end.'"

So this is how humanity went extinct?!

The staff stood in stunned silence.

Originally, hearing this, they should have been deeply disheartened and overwhelmed with stress. But because of what had just happened, they realized that the situation wasn't beyond redemption. Everyone didn't feel as bitter and resentful as they did at the beginning.

A nutritionist stroked his chin: "I thought it would be some high-tech weapon like a particle cannon. Or simply an armada of spaceships descending upon us. The sky darkened with the shadow of looming ships, firing beams from above, sweeping away all life."

"I thought differently," said a pet doctor. "I thought he would deploy countless robots to kill humans."

"I never imagined it would be like this," someone added. "This method of annihilation really caught me off guard."

The professionals who were urgently called in had no immediate use. Since they had no work at the moment, they launched into a spirited debate.

The bodyguards weren't as lively, but since the reason for the apocalypse was so absurd, they naturally speculated on how the cat parent had brought about the end of the world.

"One has to admit, there's really no good way to defend against this method," one of them remarked.

If it were high-tech weapons, with the current technology on Blue Star, perhaps they could try to build fortresses to resist. But starting from genetic evolution, Blue Star would struggle to save itself in such a short span.

In the story, the reason humanity perished was probably because they didn't have enough time to analyze the genetic serum and find a solution.

"I'll get in touch with the higher-ups about that," someone suggested. "I think these dietary guides are really worth buying more of."

"Though Blue Star is underdeveloped and impoverished, we still pride ourselves on our hospitality," another chimed in. "Our alien friends have come a long way; it would be impolite to send them away without a token of our appreciation."

"I think dietary guides and books on effective child-rearing techniques would make great souvenirs!" someone else added. "Parents who truly care for their children must think ahead for their future!"
