Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1183

1183. Chapter 1178: Xia Lala a Hundred Years Ago (Two in One)

It saw Xia Lala!

Qiao Sang was stunned at first, then suddenly excited. Incredibly disbelieving, she exclaimed,

“Xialala! That beautiful stinky nymph is actually Xia Lala!”

She’d been skeptical at first. After all, Menzhou was so large, and the stinky nymph hadn’t changed at all even without the resistant flower. She hadn’t expected it to be Xia Lala.

“Qingqing,”

Qingbao called out, correcting her.

It wasn’t the beautiful stinky nymph, it was the flowers it bought that were Xia Lala.

Flowers? Qiao Sang was stunned again, then added,

“Qingbao said the beautiful stinky nymph wasn’t Xia Lala, but the flowers it bought at the flower shop were Xia Lala.”

Finding it so easily? Mikaela looked surprised.

Even if she knew Xia Lala was in Menzhou at that time, finding it so quickly was still a bit outrageous.

This was Xia Lala, likely the only one on Yantianxing.

She had never expected that, just a hundred years after arriving, she’d run into one while out shopping.

Was that normal?

“Xia Xia…”

A thought flashed through her mind as Xia Lala, overhearing the conversation, recalled the flowers in the pot held by Mei Chou Ni. She moved her limbs, attempting a transformation.

Mikaela heard the movement and turned to look at Xia Lala.

What had seemed absurd suddenly made sense.

Her student had always brought back a Xia Lala when she won a prize, so running into one a hundred years ago seemed perfectly plausible.

Mikaela gathered her thoughts, a serious expression on her face. She asked,

“Do you remember where it is?”

“Qing Qing,”

Qing Bao nodded.

“There’s no time to lose, let’s go there now,” Mikaela said without wasting any time. “Qing Bao,

lead the way,” Qiao Sang said immediately.

“Qing Qing,”

Qing Bao floated out the window.

Qiao Sang signaled with his eyes to Ya Bao.

Ya Bao immediately leaped out the window, slowly growing in size.

Without a word, Lu Bao jumped into the backpack.

“Tingbao, you stay here,” Qiao Sang said. He shouldered his backpack, picked up Xia Lala, who was still trying to transform into a flower, and leaped out the window onto Yabao’s back.

Mikaela stepped on air.

Peng Jiamei followed.

Soon, only Tingbao, the Dragon King, and the original ice jellyfish were left in the room.

“Tingting…”

Although Tingbao had originally wanted to stay, he felt a sense of loss at seeing his beastmaster leave so easily.

The Dragon King picked his nose and turned on the TV.

“Tingting?”

Tingbao called out inquiringly.

Aren’t you going?

“Wait.”

The Dragon King glanced at him and called out, indicating that one more or one less wouldn’t make much difference. What was the point of going?

“Tingting…”

Tingbao pondered.

Could it be that his beastmaster also felt that one more or one less would make little difference, so he asked him to stay?

As Tingbao pondered, he silently approached the original ice jellyfish in the corner.

…

high in the sky.

“Ya Ya?”

Ya Bao called out, a puzzled expression on his face.

Didn’t you say you were looking for Li Ou Ya Si? Why did you go looking for Xia La La?

Qiao Sang: “…”

“Xun Xun~”

Before Qiao Sang could reply, little Xun Bao called out with an “I know” expression.

Xia La La and Li Ou Ya Si knew each other a hundred years ago, so if we find Xia La La, we’ll definitely find Li Ou Ya Si.

Little Xun Bao is really smart… Qiao Sang thought.

“Steel Chieftain,”

Gang Bao responded in his mind.

Isn’t this something everyone knows?

Qiao Sang: “…”

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao had a look of sudden enlightenment, then cheered up.

Lao Wu, hurry up! Don’t wait for Xia La La to get away!

“Qing Qing!”

Qing Bao responded from the front, speeding up.

It had become a little desensitized to the name Lao Wu.

Mikala suddenly spoke up, “Xalala a hundred years ago was extremely powerful. If we want her to help contact Li Oyas, we can only have her a hundred years later negotiate with her.”

After a pause, she added,

“Ask Xialala if she’s willing to help.”

After spending these days together, she knew that Qiao Sang’s words were far more effective with Xialala than her own.

“Xia Xia.”

But this time, before Qiao Sang could speak, Xialala nodded, a serious expression on her face, and called out.

She’s willing.

Xialala… Qiao Sang and Mikala were moved by this.

Soon, Qingbao stopped at a dilapidated, low-rise building, pointed to the first floor, and called out,

“Qingqing.”

That’s it.

Xialala actually lived here… Qiao Sang jumped off Yabao, somewhat surprised.

Yabao slowly shrank and landed on the ground.

“Just knock on the door?” Qiao Sang asked, looking at Teacher Mikala nearby.

Mikala pondered for a moment, then looked at Xialala.

Without a word, Xia Lala understood what she meant.

She floated to the house Qing Bao pointed to and raised her paw.

But before she could knock, the door flew open.

“Meimei,”

Mei Chou Ni stood at the doorway, glanced at Xia Lala, who was still in her youthful form, then stepped aside and called out, signaling for her to come in.

Xia Lala was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Qiao Sang and called out,

“Xia Xia.”

Before Gang Bao could translate the words in his mind, Mei Chou Ni looked over and called out, indicating that they could come in too.

With that, she ushered Xia Lala in.

Qiao Sang and Mikala exchanged a glance before entering the room one after another.

“Ya Ya?”

After closing the door, Ya Bao eagerly scanned the living room and called out, asking where Xia Lala was.

Too blunt, Ya Bao… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly.

“Xun Xun…”

Little Xun Bao floated over to a pot of flowers, pointing at it and silently calling out, indicating that it was it, it was it.

Lao Wu said that the flowers Mei Chou Ni had bought were Xia Lala, and that it still remembered what they looked like.

Qiao Sang glanced at it and pretended not to understand the little Xun Bao’s mouth movements.

“Mei Mei,”

Mei Chou Ni pointed to the sofa.

After thanking them, Qiao Sang and Mikala sat down one after another.

“Mei Mei?”

Mei Chou Ni called out, asking, “What do you want to talk to me about?”

“Steel Chief.”

Gangbao translated in his mind.

“Xia Xia.”

Before Qiao Sang could say anything, Xia Lala looked at Mei Chou Ni with a serious expression and called out.

I want to find myself a hundred years ago.

“Meimei?”

Meichouni looked bewildered.

You a hundred years ago?

“Xia Xia,”

Shailala nodded.

Seeing Shailala engaged in conversation with Meichouni, Qiao Sang and Mikala remained silent in tacit agreement.

“Meimei?”

Meichouni called out, frowning.

“Xia Xia,”

Shailala called out, then plucked the resistant flower from her hair.

Immediately, its form slowly shifted, transforming into its original form, mostly light green, with golden buds circling its neck.

“Reli…”

Jeriloka’s expression was stunned, even forgetting to change his voice.

He’d thought Shailala had misjudged him, but he hadn’t imagined there really was another Shailala in the world…

Could it be, as it claimed, a Shailala from a hundred years ago?

But… Jeriloka’s expression grew solemn as he looked at the color of the buds on Shailala’s neck.

They were all golden, the color of Shailala’s primary form.

Reli? It wasn’t Meichouni? Qiao Sang was stunned.

At the same moment, a blade of grass in a flowerpot two meters away from Xiao Xunbao suddenly unfurled its branches and leaves, transforming into arms. Then, it pulled out its main trunk and leaped out of the pot, transforming into Xia Lala.

“Xunxun…”

Xiao Xunbao, who was pointing at the flowerpot and winking frantically at his beastmaster, was stunned by this, then awkwardly floated back to his beastmaster’s side.

“Qingqing…”

Qingbao sighed in relief.

Fortunately, he didn’t nod in agreement with Xiao Xunbao, or it would have been foolish.

This was the Xia Lala of a hundred years ago… The color of its body and the buds around its neck seemed slightly different from the one a hundred years later… Qiao Sang studied the Xia Lala before him, his gaze settling on the ring of different-colored buds around its neck.

Xia Lala… Even with her mental preparation, Mikaela’s expression froze for a moment, and she instinctively stood up.

A pale green body, a ring of buds of different colors around its neck, blue eyes, and white eyelashes.

This was the Xia Lala of a hundred years ago. The Xia Lala

who brought all things back to life, the one she never had the chance to meet.

After a few seconds of silence, Mikala took a deep breath, suppressed her excitement, and said solemnly,

“I finally meet you.”

Shalala, with a circle of colorful buds around her neck, looked at her with a puzzled expression and called out,

“Xia Xia?”

Do we know each other?

“Pen Peng,”

Peng Jiamei translated beside her.

“You don’t know me, but I know you,” Mikala said solemnly.

“Xia Xia?”

Shalala with the colorful buds frowned, then looked at her future self and called out, asking how she got here from a hundred years ago.

“Xia Xia…”

Shalala didn’t answer immediately, looking at her past self in a daze.

“It was Shi Pan Te who sent us here,” Qiao Sang replied.

Shalala with the colorful buds looked over and called out,

“Xia Xia?”

Why did Shi Pan Te bring you here?

“Because I contacted the Tenth Seat, and it was the Tenth Seat who asked Shi Pan Te for help,” Qiao Sang said.

“Xia Xia?”

Shalala with the colorful buds was stunned for a moment and called out.

You mean Chuan Vides?

“That’s right,” Qiao Sang nodded.

“Xia Xia?”

Sha Lala of the Colorful Buds paused for a moment, then called out. “

What are you here for?

” Qiao Sang said, “We’re after the Li-Huo Crystals, which can only be produced by Li Oyas.”

“Reli?”

Jerilokka dropped his pretense and called out, asking, “Why would you all go all the way back a hundred years just for the Li-Huo Crystals? “

Qiao Sang paused for a moment, then said,

“Because a hundred years from now, there will be no living Li Oyas.”

Sha Lala of the Colorful Buds: “???

” Jerilokka’s eyes widened, his mind completely unable to process such shocking news. His energy became unstable, and he instantly transformed into his original form.

It was Jerilokka… Mikaela was stunned for a moment, then regained her composure, her attention returning to Sha Lala from a hundred years ago.

She had recently met the mythical beast Li Oyas and the mythical beast Shi Pante, and now she had met Sha Lala, who could revive all things. In comparison, the endangered pet Jerilokka no longer stirred much emotion.

Qiao Sang had already suspected something, so he wasn’t particularly surprised.

“Xia Xia?”

Shallala, the colorful bud, snapped back to reality, a look of anxiety on her face. She cried out, expressing her doubts about how Li Oyas, a hundred years later, could possibly not be alive.

“Jeri…”

Jeri Roca glanced at Shallala a hundred years later, as if realizing something. He struggled a bit and cried out with difficulty. And

what about Shallala ? A sudden

silence fell.

Shallala, the colorful bud, seemed to finally understand something, looking at the bud on her neck a hundred years later.

“Xia Xia?”

It was silent for a moment, then cried out. “

Who can tell me what happened in the past hundred years?”

Qiao Sang looked at Teacher Mikala, signaling with her eyes for her to answer.

Speaking of the history of Flame Sky Star, she surely knew more than she did.

But Mikala remained silent.

“Punpun,”

Peng Jiamei cried out.

This time, Mikala spoke, “I don’t know the specifics. I only know a hundred years ago…”

Qiao Sang had almost forgotten that Teacher Mikala needed a translator to understand Shallala’s words. He grumbled inwardly, then began to listen intently.

“A hundred years ago, a week later, a meteor fell from the sky…” Michaela recounted the events of the century in detail in a deep voice.

After a pause, she continued:

“We came to Menzhou originally to search for the Sun Crystal, but unexpectedly, we saw Li Oyas underground. We later learned that Li Oyas was merely a spirit. Through its own description, we learned that it died a hundred years ago, around this time.”

At this point, Mikaela paused, looked at the colorful bud’s Shalala, and continued with a complicated expression:

“He died around the same time as Shalala.”

“Jeri!”

Jeriroka looked at the colorful bud’s Shalala with an anxious expression and called out, “Let’s get out of here.

” “Xia Xia,”

the colorful bud’s Shalala called out calmly, saying, “You know I can’t leave here, especially after hearing this news.

” “Jeri…”

Jeriroka’s eyes instantly turned red.

“Xia Xia…”

Shalala, inexplicably sensing a sense of sadness in the current atmosphere, subconsciously drifted to Qiao Sang’s side.

“Xia Xia,”

the colorful bud’s Shalala looked over and called out calmly, saying that it could help contact Li Oyas, but you have to do me a favor.

“Steel Chief.”

“Pun-Pun.”

Gangbao and Pengjiamei, one translating in their head and the other directly.

“What’s the favor?” Qiaosang and Mikala said in unison.

“Xia-Xia,”

Xia Lala, with her colorful buds, called out.

They wanted the humans and pets here to leave Menzhou within a week, or to take Li Oyas to a region devoid of humans and pets.

Mikala’s expression was complicated, and she remained silent for a moment. She understood the purpose of Xia Lala’s two conditions.

Qiaosang was silent for a few seconds, then said,

“I understand your thoughts, but history cannot be changed. It’s not just the fireball that’s important, but the drought that followed it. That can’t be prevented.”

After her trip to the Valley of Flowers, she had researched the relevant historical records.

A hundred years ago, a fireball struck, severely damaging the land and subsequently causing a global drought. However, Menzhou, bearing the brunt of the impact, suffered few casualties because officials had foreseen the fireball’s arrival and relocated the people and pets of the Shangyue District.

Time is a fixed line, all events predetermined. The act of traveling through time and space may itself become part of history, one’s own actions contributing to known historical outcomes.

Just like when Adenich predicted the location where the Yabao and their companions would evolve, and knowing where they would evolve, she went there specifically, changing her original decision and facilitating their evolution, fulfilling the prophecy.

At this thought, Qiao Sang suddenly had an idea and said,

“I can help inform the authorities about the fireball rain in a week.”

After a pause, she looked at Xia Lala a hundred years ago and said seriously,

“But I think your warning to the authorities would be much more credible than mine.” (End of Chapter)
