Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1135

1135. Chapter 1130: Xia Lala’s Fragrance (Two in One)

True Fire Crystal, finally in hand… Qiao Sang revealed a look of surprise, immediately offering flattery: “Peng Jiamei’s move was truly remarkable.”

“Xun Xun!”

Little Xun Bao exclaimed in admiration, glancing at the crystallizing feather.

“Pen Peng.”

Peng Jiamei raised her lips, extending the crystallizing feather forward with a cry.

Qiao Sang took it solemnly.

Mikaela smiled, “Let’s go back to sleep.”

“Xun Xun~”

Little Xun Bao’s eyes flashed blue.

In the next second, the two, along with Peng Jiamei and little Xun Bao, vanished from the scene.

…

The villa.

Night fell.

Mikaela and Peng Jiamei returned to the second floor to catch up on some sleep. Qiao Sang returned to her room and handed the fully crystallized True Fire Crystal to Xiao Xunbao, instructing her,

“Find a safe place for this! This is the item for Yabao’s future evolution.”

“Xunxun!”

Xiao Xunbao nodded earnestly, removing the ring and finding a good spot to place the True Fire Crystal.

Qiao Sang then thought of something, forming hand seals with her hands and summoning Yabao.

“Yabao…”

Thanks to the Beast Taming Codex’s treatment, Yabao had regained consciousness. Half-lying in bed, it struggled to open its eyes. As it took in its surroundings, it seemed to understand something and struggled to get up.

“You’re so badly injured, don’t get up yet,” Qiao Sang said, turning to look at Lubao’s water tank.

Just as she was about to wake Lubao, she found Lubao already awake. Without a word, the gemstone on its forehead shone a faint blue light onto Yabao.

Within a few breaths, the faint blue light dissipated, and Yabao became energetic again, no longer looking injured.

“Ya Ya…”

But the next second, Yabao wilted.

It had lost, and lost miserably…

Yabao… Qiao Sang glanced at Yabao, sighed inwardly, and turned to Lubao and asked,

“When did you wake up?”

“Bingdi,”

Lubao called out.

It had been too loud when little Xunbao called out .

“Xunxun…”

Little Xunbao scratched his head sheepishly.

Qiao Sang was also a little embarrassed: “Then you can go back to sleep. It’s just that the Shindai bird came over, and everything is fine now.”

Hearing this, Lubao glanced at Yabao and slowly closed his eyes.

“Ya Ya…”

Yabao hung his tail, looking deeply shocked.

Qiao Sang looked at Yabao and lowered his voice to soothe him,

“The True Generation Bird is an Emperor, two levels higher than you. As you advance in rank, let alone a challenge, even the difference in strength between early and mid-stage opponents of the same realm is enormous. Your loss to the True Generation Bird is perfectly normal.”

“Yabao…”

Yabao remained dejected, clearly unmoved by the words.

Qiao Sang then thought of something and added,

“The True Fire Crystal! We’ve already got the True Generation Bird’s feathers. With them, you’ve gathered one-third of the materials needed to reach the Emperor level. Once you successfully evolve to the Emperor level, you’ll definitely defeat the True Generation Bird.”

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao nodded and chirped, indicating that the True Fire Crystal was now inside its ring.

As he spoke, he was about to remove the ring and show the True Fire Crystal to Big Brother Yabao.

“Ya Ya…”

However, just as it was about to take the ring, Ya Bao cried out dejectedly, saying, “Don’t take it. It’s still King-level, not even Emperor-level. Even if it collects all the materials for Emperor-level evolution, it’s useless.

” “Xun Xun…”

Little Xun Bao paused and looked at his Beast Tamer, his eyes telling him that Big Brother Ya Bao looks sad…

Yeah… Qiao Sang responded to Little Xun Bao with his eyes, then looked at Ya Bao and said seriously,

“How can it be useless? This is all preparation for your future Emperor-level status. Just because you’re not Emperor-level now doesn’t mean you won’t be in the future. Just like just because you can’t defeat the Shindai Bird now doesn’t mean you won’t be able to defeat it in the future.”

Hearing this, Ya Bao finally looked up at his Beast Tamer.

Finally listening… Qiao Sang, seeing this, was delighted, but she remained serious, saying,

“Not all pets are born strong. You’ve grown stronger step by step, haven’t you? Believe in yourself. You can definitely become stronger than Shindai Bird in the future.”

After a pause, she added,

“I absolutely believe in you.”

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao quickly chirped in agreement.

It believed too.

Yabao looked at its beastmaster, then at Little Xunbao, its expression gradually becoming firm. It called out,

“Ya Ya!”

It got it!

With that, it jumped off the bed and headed for the door.

Qiao Sang immediately understood what Yabao was going to do and quickly said,

“Don’t train yet. Lubao and the others are still asleep. The noise of your training will wake them.”

Yabao’s body suddenly stiffened.

Qiao Sang said gently:

“Go to sleep first, and then train when you wake up tomorrow.”

“Ya Ya…”

Ya Bao turned her head with an expression that said “this is the only way”, jumped onto the bed, found a comfortable position to lie down, and closed her eyes.

Qiao Sang was completely relieved and stretched out her right hand to Xiao Xunbao.

Xiao Xunbao blinked, as if she didn’t understand what her beastmaster meant.

“Cellphone.” Qiao Sang said silently with her mouth.

Xiao Xunbao had used the cell phone to locate her before, but she had never returned it to her.

“Xunxun…”

Xiao Xunbao handed the cell phone over with an expression of great reluctance.

Qiao Sang plugged the cell phone into the charging cable next to the bedside table, lay on the bed, and closed her eyes.

I’ve already got the True Fire Crystal. The only remaining materials for Yabao’s Emperor-level evolution are the Free Fire Crystal and the Sun Crystal…

The Emperor-level evolution path is said to involve getting closer to the sun, but the details still require experimentation…

It’s too early to think about that. The most likely candidate for a breakthrough right now is Qingbao. I wonder how long it’ll take for the materials to arrive…

Drowsiness overtook Qiao Sang, who drifted off to sleep, inhaling the refreshing fragrance of plants and trees.

…

The next morning.

Qiao Sang awoke feeling refreshed. She sat cross-legged on her bed, ready to meditate as usual.

But then, as if realizing something, she glanced to the side.

Yabao, who usually slept at this hour, was no longer in bed.

Qiao Sang paused for a tenth of a second, then picked up her phone and checked the time:

7:05 AM.

Yabao was surprisingly awake at this hour… Qiao Sang’s ears twitched, and she heard the sound of skills blasting from outside, and her emotions suddenly became complicated. Back

then, Yabao wouldn’t wake up no matter how hard she called him, but later, he would wake up with just a simple call. Now, he knew how to get up early.

Is this what growing up is…

Qiao Sang gathered his thoughts, got up, put on his shoes, and came to the open-air training ground. Sure enough, he saw countless Yan Jiaou training different skills.

Maybe he remembered what he said last night that everyone was still asleep, so the power of the various skills released by Yabao was obviously restrained.

Yabao has really grown up…

“Xunxun!”

As the thought flashed, little Xunbao teleported to his own beastmaster and shouted with tears in his eyes.

Save me!

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: “What’s wrong?”

“Xunxun!”

Little Xunbao showed an aggrieved expression and cried.

Big brother Yabao asked me to accompany it in training. It has been training for a long time and he still wants me to accompany it!

Qiao Sang said with a smile:

“You are at the same level as Yabao now, are you still afraid to accompany it in training?”

“Xunxun!”

Little Xunbao cried out in grievance.

But Big Brother Yabao won’t even let me rest!

“Ya Ya!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yabao looked over from high in the sky and cried out, saying, “We’ve only been training for so long, what’s the point of resting?

” “Xunxun…”

Little Xunbao tugged at his beastmaster’s sleeve, sniffed, and cried out in grievance. “

Look at Big Brother Yabao…”

Qiao Sang said, “We left home around three in the morning last night and should have been back around four. After that, Yabao went to sleep. It’s only a little after seven now, so even if we started training a little after four, it’s not that long.”

“Ya Ya,”

Yabao nodded from high in the sky.

“Xunxun…”

Little Xunbao let go of his sleeve and took a step back, a hurt expression on his face, as if he couldn’t believe his beastmaster would say such a heartless thing.

Qiao Sang coughed and continued,

“But everyone’s almost awake now, and it’s time to get breakfast ready. Little Xunbao, go help me in the kitchen.”

“Xunxun!”

Little Xunbao’s hurt expression faded, and he nodded repeatedly.

“Great, great!

” Seeing this, Yabao said nothing and resumed his training alone.

Qiao Sang headed for the kitchen.

Little Xunbao happily followed.

From a distance, Qiao Sang spotted Youshen Cat busy in the kitchen. He was taken aback for a moment, then approached and asked,

“You woke up so early?”

“Youshen Cat,”

Youshen Cat meowed as he moved his hands, indicating that it was his normal routine.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao translated.

Qiao Sang observed Youshen Cat’s movements and asked,

“Is there anything I can help you with?”

“Youshen Cat,”

Youshen Cat shook his head and meowed, indicating that he didn’t need anything but to sit and wait for his meal.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao translated.

Having a pet butler isn’t bad, after all… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly, said, “I see,” and returned to his room. After a quick wash, he crossed his legs on the bed and began to meditate.

“Xunxun…”

Little Xunbao remained quietly in his room, fearing that if he went out, Yabao would see him and capture him for another training session.

Suddenly, a fresh, grassy fragrance filled his nostrils, and little Xunbao felt a surge of energy, following the scent.

Then he spotted Xia Lala, sleeping in a flowerpot by the window.

“What a nice smell…” Little Xunbao couldn’t help but lean in to sniff.

Just then, Xia Lala regained consciousness, slowly opening her eyes to see little Xunbao’s approaching face.

He paused for a moment, then gave a friendly hello:

“Xia Xia.”

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao responded, then leaned in to sniff again, calling out sincerely:

“Xunxun~” “

You smell so good!

” “Xia Xia,”

Xia Lala smiled and called out, explaining that her scent relieved fatigue and relaxed the body and mind. “If you like it, smell it more often; it’s good for you.”

As he spoke, the flower bud on his neck swayed.

The fragrance in the room instantly intensified.

Qiao Sang sniffed the refreshing aroma, his nose moving, his body and mind unconsciously relaxing.

Out of sight, her mind relaxed again.

“Xunxun…”

Little Xunbao took a deep breath, feeling a sense of relief.

Suddenly, his eyes darted forward, noticing the twitching of Little Tinglong’s tail beside the water tank. Knowing it was about to wake up, he drifted closer, grinning, wanting to offer a friendly greeting.

Little Tinglong opened his eyes and saw Little Xunbao’s large face leaning in.

“Tingting!”

Startled, Little Tinglong subconsciously flashed arcs of electricity, striking forward fiercely.

Little Xunbao: “…”

…

half an hour later.

At the dining table.

“Tingting…”

Little Tinglong rolled up a fruit and carefully placed it on Little Xunbao’s plate.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao picked it up and ate it.

Seeing this, Little Tinglong felt relieved and began to eat his energy pills.

Qiao Sang, eating his fried egg, asked,

“Won’t the Shindai bird notice anything’s wrong? We’ll find it later, right?”

After all, the location was in the chat log.

Mikala took a sip of milk and said, “Don’t worry. If it had noticed something was wrong, it would have discovered it right then and there, not waited until now.”

It seems that even among Emperor-level pets, some are smart and some are not… Qiao Sang felt relieved upon hearing this. Then, a thought struck her, and she asked,

“Should we look for the Lihuo Crystal or the Sun Crystal first?”

Mikala pondered for a few seconds before saying,

“Sun Crystals are the remnants of meteoroids that periodically fall from the sun of Flame Sky Star. News channels usually warn of this phenomenon in advance.”

“I know,” Qiao Sang said. “I’ve looked it up. The last time this happened was 32 years ago, and there haven’t been any reports recently.”

“No reports mean it won’t happen again soon,” Mikala reasoned.

“We can’t wait for that to happen, but we can look for any remaining Sun Crystals. Compared to the legendary traces of the pet Li Oyas, Sun Crystals are obviously easier to find.”

Qiao Sang nodded in agreement. “Then let’s look for the Sun Crystals first.”

“Xia Xia?”

Suddenly, Xia Lala called out.

Mikala immediately looked at Peng Jiamei.

“Punpun.”

Peng Jiamei swallowed the energy pill in his mouth and shouted to help translate.

It asked, “Are you looking for Li Oyas?”

Mikaela looked at Shalala and said, her voice slightly laced,

“We need the Li Fire Crystal, so we’re looking for it.”

After a pause, she added, “The Li Fire Crystal is the secretion of its eyes.”

Qiao Sang, upon hearing what Teacher Mikaela had said, immediately understood what Shalala was referring to. His eyes lit up and he asked,

“Why, do you know it?”

“Xia Xia,”

Shalala nodded.

She had seen it once before.

“Steel Chief,” Gangbao translated in his mind.

Qiao Sang’s eyes brightened even more. “Do you have its contact information, or know where it lives?”

“Xia Xia,”

Shalala shook her head.

Qiao Sang felt a little disappointed.

“Ding Dong~”

The doorbell rang.

Youshen Cat went to open the door. The visitor

, wearing a flashy floral shirt, was none other than Kang Yang, whom he had just met yesterday.

As he took off his shoes, he said excitedly:

“Senior! Junior! I have news about the Shindai Bird! According to reliable information, it appeared in Dragon Country last night! That’s where we are!”

Michaela: “…”

Qiao Sang: “…”
