What If My Beast Companion Is a Cow Cat?

Chi Yuanjin transmigrated into a world of beast tamers, bringing along Zhuzhu, the calico cat she raised.

Seeing other people's pets cultivated into all-powerful beings who could soar through the heavens and plunge into the earth, looking down on the stars with pride, Zhuzhu slowly turned her gaze to Chi Yuanjin.

Chi Yuanjin: "...N-no, wait. I'm just an ordinary person, and you're just an ordinary cat, too, aren't you?"

Zhuzhu looked disdainful. "Meow?"

So what?

We calico cats never admit defeat!

Under Zhuzhu's relentless prodding, Chi Yuanjin was forced to become a beast tamer, all so she could train the little ancestor in her home to the top of the rankings.

"Meow?"

So what if it's a phoenix? Is my Zhuzhu any worse?

"Meow!"

And what about a dragon? Watch me give it a swipe!

Since her pet was such a troublemaker, Chi Yuanjin had to work desperately hard just to avoid being beaten to death. At long last, she awakened her own beast-taming talent.

"Emotional Stability Lv. 1: When used, stabilizes a pet's emotions, giving it the calmness of a capybara."

Chi Yuanjin, looking pleased: "Not bad."

...Wait, how come nobody told her this talent only worked on other people's pets? What was the point if she couldn't use it on her own?

Watching her opponent's pet get hit by the effect and stand there calmly taking a beating while Zhuzhu laughed maniacally and swiped away, Chi Yuanjin and her opponent both trembled in fear.

Later, she contracted a big-eared, loud-braying donkey, a mischievous monkey native to Emei Star, an alpaca with terrible manners and a hair-trigger temper, and a ferret that ran like a perpetual-motion machine and tore the house apart...

With her beast-taming talent, this team could practically rule the stars. They swept up every league medal, and her skill at raising pets won widespread acclaim.

People were always asking admiringly, "How on earth did you tame these pets? By the way, you look a little pale. Are you all right?"

Chi Yuanjin, smiling hollowly: "I'm fine. I'm doing great. Hehe, they may look like this, but they're actually good kids..."

Everyone shuddered. "Looks like she's completely lost it."
