Chapter1 : The Witch Has A Dog Named Cat “Liliya, guess what today…”

Chapter 1 The Witch Has a Dog Named Cat "Lilya, guess what today..."

"Lilya, guess what this year's birthday present is? “

“A puppy, I guess. "

"You guessed it right. Look, do you like it? "

"like! It's so cute! "

“Then let Lilia give it a name. "

"Well...just call it cat! ”

“W…what? ”

“Cat! It's called Cat! From today on, I am a person with both cats and dogs! "

…

Lilya felt vaguely itchy on her face.

"Cat, stop making trouble, let me sleep a little longer… Cat, don't—Ouch! "

Lilya, who lost her balance and was still half asleep, fell off the ladder and landed among the books.

On the old knitted blanket next to her, a large dog with strange dark red fur looked up at her, then bent down again and closed his eyes.

"Ouch, it hurts... Did I fall asleep on the ladder? What just fell on my face? "Lilya covered her head and crawled up from the books on the floor. She cast a healing spell on herself.

She wiped her face, which was a small ball of dust mixed with cotton wool. Looking back at the study, Lilya sighed.

Only the last bookcase was left. She had searched all the other books and tried all the magic she could, but still couldn't find the right magic.

——Magic that can extend her dog's lifespan.

After all, the dog is already fifteen years old. Lilia knows that even if this is a magical world, there is still no way to extend the lifespan.

It has been eighteen years since Lilia traveled to this world. When she came here, she was just a baby in swaddling clothes. Although she doesn't understand why she traveled through time when doing PCR experiments, she hasn't been able to find a way to go back in all these years.

This world is full of magic power. Although there is no advanced technology, people can still live well with the help of magic.

Lilia's parents were both top adventurers. It is said that they also participated in the crusade against the Demon King. She can no longer tell the truth from the false, because her parents both passed away when she was five years old.

Only a dog named "Maomao" was left.

It is no exaggeration to say that apart from the care of some of her parents' friends, Lilia was almost raised by this dog.

"What should I do, Maomao, I still can't find a solution..." Lilya grabbed her tangled hair, looking at the last bookshelf, feeling sad.

This dog is her only relative, even though it has always ignored her.

The dog named Maomao seemed to have a helpless expression, staggering towards Lilya, and rubbed her back of the hand with its head.

As if greatly encouraged, Lilya clenched her fists and walked towards the last bookshelf: "Don't worry, Maomao, I will definitely find a way! "

Having said that, Lilia knew in her heart that there was probably no solution.

The magic book left by her parents was already the most complete in the kingdom. If there was no solution here, then perhaps only the ancient ruins could possibly be found.

"Cat" looked at Lilia's back, shook his head, returned to the old blanket, and fell asleep again.

"The Theoretical Foundations of Herbs and Potions... No, I've read this..."

"Advanced Divination and Astrology... It doesn't seem to be related..."

"How to Keep a Succubus in Captivity... ? Why does this kind of book exist? Which of them collected it? "

Two blurry smiling faces appeared in Lilia's mind. After thinking about it carefully, Lilia felt that both of them were possible, and it was even hard to say if two of them appeared together.

"Alas...how can they defeat the Demon King? It doesn't look like it at all..."

The ears of the lying "cat" seemed to stand up for a moment, and then drooped down quickly.

Shaking her head, Lilia threw these useless thoughts behind her, sat on the floating magic book, and checked the books on the shelf one by one.

"Huh? What's this? How come I haven’t seen it before? "Out of the corner of her eye, Lilia saw a book emitting a strange blue light.

Floating a little closer, Lilia took out the book and finally saw clearly - the light was from a small transparent crystal behind the book.

Lilia showed a puzzled and disgusted expression.

"Uh... why does this thing look so much like DNA..."

The small crystal was shaped like two curved spiral transparent strips. To put it simply, it looked very much like the double helix structure of DNA.

Some memories from eighteen years ago began to revive, and many things appeared in Lilia's mind, such as the graduation thesis she had revised countless times, and the experiment she was halfway through.

"Is there such a thing in this world? You can't just touch it and go back, right? "Lilya's hand suddenly stopped halfway. She muttered softly and turned her head to look at "Mao Mao" lying on the ground.

This big dog with strange fur color has long lost its former vitality. Recently, it always sleeps on the blanket left by its mother.

Lilya smiled and sighed, "Forget it, if we really go back, Mao Mao will be alone, right? Or...eh? ! "

With her hand halfway retracted, Lilia was shocked to find that the small crystal was flying towards her.

Lilia quickly adjusted the direction of the magic book, trying to stay away from the flying small crystal. However, the magic book, which had been well controlled all along, seemed to have malfunctioned and fell straight to the ground.

The small crystal was very fast and flew into Lilia's heart in an instant.

Lilia felt dizzy for a moment, and then lost consciousness.

Before that, her last thought was: "What about my dog! ”

…

“You have unlocked the talent [Gene Acquisition]. ”

“You have unlocked the talent [Gene Editing]. "

A strange voice sounded in Lilia's ears. She opened her eyes and found herself in the ocean.

"The spell to breathe underwater is... Huh? Can I breathe? "Lilya looked around in confusion, only to find that there were round little things that looked like cells all around.

No!

These are cells!

Lillia's eyes widened, and then under her gaze, these cells slowly grew, gradually turning into creatures that could only be seen in books.

"No way..."

Lillia stretched out her hand, wanting to touch these ancient creatures, but found that her hands had passed through their bodies.

These ancient creatures were evolving rapidly, and then Lillia discovered that the direction of their evolution was not the same as what she had learned.

- This seems to be the evolutionary history of this magical world?

"Genes... gene editing..." Lillia recalled the two strange sounds she had heard before, and suddenly realized something, and began to look for it within her sight.

Lilia quickly scanned the creatures that flashed before her: "Dog... What is the evolutionary chain of dogs in this world!"

Finally, in the distance, she saw a dog-like creature with dark red fur facing away from her.

Lilia controlled her consciousness and rushed forward.

The next second, everything in front of me disappeared, leaving only emptiness.

Lilia felt her face getting a little wet.

The warm and soft touch enveloped her, feeling so comfortable, just like her parents' hug when she was a child.

Lilia always felt that she had felt this kind of warmth on sad nights after her parents died, but when she woke up, she thought it was a dream.

But now, Lilia truly felt that there was a warm person hugging her.

Lilia opened her eyes and saw "Mao Mao" snuggling beside her, licking her cheek with its tongue.

Lilia smiled.

Great, she is still here and her dog won’t be a lonely and homeless puppy.

"Thank you, Cat, I'm sorry for making you worry." Lilya hugged Cat's neck and rubbed it affectionately.

"Cat" retracted its head from Lilia's arms, turned its head back to the blanket, as if it was not the one who was worried about Lilia just now.

Lilia laughed out loud, she always felt that her "cat" was very human-like, usually ignoring her, but would always rush to her side at the critical moment.

"By the way, where is that small crystal?!" Lilya screamed, opened her collar and looked inside, trying to find the small crystal that looked like DNA.

Nothing was found.

The small crystal seemed to have disappeared, or rather, merged into her body.

"Gene editing... Really? No way..." Lilia murmured and glanced at her hands.

She still remembered the creature with dark red fur and that looked like a "dog" in the illusion just now.

It has long pointed ears, a big fluffy tail, a pair of horns on its head, thorns and wings on its back, and hard scales on its claws. Overall it looks strong and powerful.

Lilia looked at her dog with fiery eyes.

If...she meant if, her dog could become like that, does it mean that its lifespan could also be extended?

"Cat, I'm going out for a while and will be back soon! You wait for me at home!" Lilya shouted and rushed out like the wind.

When you push open the door, what comes into view is a dense forest - Lilia's home is deep in the forest, and she has lived here since she was born - the house is built under the tallest tree in the entire forest. In spring, whenever the wind blows, light blue flowers will fall from the sky and form a blue carpet on the ground.

Unfortunately, it is already early autumn and such sight will not occur.

With magical protection, the tree remains green all year round.

Lilia turned around and went into the forest. The magic power in her body was so enormous that even her parents were surprised. But it is also for this reason that she can always attract various magical beasts.

"It's like smelling food." Lilia once said self-deprecatingly.

This forest is a gathering place for magical beasts. Lilia's physique easily attracts them, but Lilia's parents still decided to settle down here without hesitation. The giant tree was surrounded by a barrier set up by Lilia's parents to prevent her magic power from being sensed by magical beasts from the outside world.

When her parents were still alive, they taught Lilia magic together. After they passed away, Lilia continued to learn the mysterious spells written in the books left by her parents with her dog.

After all, this is much easier than the difficult and confusing "Molecular Biology".

"Here they come, a giant-beaked bird and a... pseudo-earth dragon? Why is there a pseudo-earth dragon here?" Lilia thought to herself that something was wrong.

The dragon clan has always stood at the top of the food chain, possessing the ultimate strength and magic power among all magical beasts.

Earth dragons are a sub-race of giant dragons, and pseudo-earth dragons are slightly weaker than earth dragons.

But even so, the Pseudo-Earth Dragon is an existence that ordinary humans cannot match.

The most important point is that the dragon scales generally have extremely high resistance to magic. In most cases, if you want to defeat a dragon, the warriors are the main fighting force.

This was the first time Lilia had seen a creature like the Pseudo-Earth Dragon. She has seen almost all the monsters in this forest, and with her current abilities, almost none of them can pose a threat to her.

"Did it come out from a deeper place? What bad luck..." Lilia frowned, threw the magic book in her hand, tapped the ground lightly with her toes, jumped up and sat on it, flying into the air.

The Pseudo-Earth Dragon has no ability to fly, so maybe she should get rid of the giant beaked bird first.
