Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1316

1316. Chapter 1311: The Dark Ring Monarch

Qiao Sang watched the successfully evolved little Xunbao not far away. Two words flashed through his mind: So dark…

Then, a second thought: Teeth so white… As

the thought flashed through his mind, Qingbao, standing nearby, clutched one paw to his stomach and pointed the other at little Xunbao, bursting into laughter:

“Qingqing!”

“Qingqing!”

Hahaha! You’ve gotten so dark!

“Ya Ya…”

Yabao nodded in agreement.

“

Tingting,” Tingbao called out, “Boss, your teeth are so white now.

” “Xunxun?”

Little Xunbao froze for a moment, a sudden sense of foreboding rising within him. He removed one of the rings, rummaged inside, and quickly pulled out a mirror, holding it up to his own gaze.

The next second, a mournful voice echoed through the air:

“Xunxun!!!”

Qiao Sang: “…”

“It’s not that dark, actually. Maybe it’s nighttime and there aren’t any lights nearby, so it looks a little darker,” Qiao Sang consoled.

“Xunxun?”

Little Xunbao suddenly looked at his beastmaster with tears in his eyes and cried out.

Really?

Fake… Qiao Sang nodded, “Real.”

Little Xunbao’s eyes rekindled with hope, and then, struck by a thought, he suddenly teleported away.

Qingbao, completely oblivious to the fact that Little Xunbao had left him behind, happily vanished into the wind, following Little Xunbao’s path.

“Where’s the Dark Ring Lord?” Jacqueline asked, having recovered from Little Xunbao’s new appearance.

The Dark Ring Lord is the evolved form of the Night Ring King and the final form of the Treasure Hunter.

Qiao Sang looked toward the villa, paused for a moment, and said, “He must have gone to look in the mirror…”

Jacqueline, remembering Little Xunbao’s screams in the mirror, couldn’t help but smile and asked, “Is he dissatisfied with his new look?” Qiao Sang

paused again, then said, “Maybe he thinks he’s too dark.”

Mikaela pondered, “Little Xunbao is indeed a bit darker than other black pets.”

“But wasn’t the Dark Ring Lord already black when he was the Night Ring King?” Jacqueline asked, puzzled.

If he was already black, how could he dislike his own skin?

“Little Xunbao didn’t care before, but now that he’s about to compete in the Masters Challenge, he’s become a little self-conscious about his skin color,” Qiao Sang sighed. “He’s been using a face mask a lot lately.”

“Hahaha…” Jacqueline finally couldn’t help but burst out laughing. “Sorry, I just think the Lord of the Dark Ring is so adorable, hahaha…”

“Xunxun!!!”

Just as she was laughing, a cry of despair suddenly rang out from the direction of the villa.

Jacqueline’s laughter died down instantly .

Qiao Sang coughed and said, “Let’s go over there first.”

“Okay,” Jacqueline nodded.

Mikaela looked at Peng Jiamei.

“Pen-pen.”

Peng Jiamei understood, her eyes flashing blue.

In the next second, she and the others disappeared.

When Qiao Sang reappeared in the living room, he saw little Xunbao rolling on the floor, holding a mirror, wailing uncontrollably.

“Xunxun!”

“Xunxun!”

“Xunxun!”

“Qingqing…”

Qingbao stood by, bewildered.

It had been planning to follow and laugh at little Xunbao, but seeing him crying so hard, it felt a bit overwhelmed.

Seeing its own beastmaster appear, it quickly looked over with a pleading look.

Michaela and Jacqueline also looked at Qiao San.

Could this be something he learned from Gisdan? Qiao San inexplicably saw Gisdan rolling around crying. She gathered her fleeting thoughts and asked,

“Evolution is a good thing, why are you crying like this?”

“Xunxun!”

“Xunxun!”

Little Xunbao burst into tears.

It’s too black! Too black! Under the light, it doesn’t even look a bit whiter!

Qiao Sang wasn’t the least bit surprised by its answer and blurted out, “Black is actually quite good. You look so beautiful with black, it’s easy for people to notice you.”

“Xunxun…”

Little Xunbao’s sobs instantly subsided.

Qiao Sang continued calmly, “Think about it. Which pet you’ve ever seen is as black as you? When a color reaches a certain extreme, it’s the most eye-catching. And the darker you are, the more beautiful your golden eyes and teeth become. Just now, when you smiled outside, I felt like everything around you lit up, and I couldn’t help but notice you.”

Michaela: “…”

Jacqueline looked at Qiao Sang with a strange expression.

Honestly, this was the first time she’d heard Qiao Sang say something like that.

It felt right, but it also felt like something was wrong. It felt wrong, but it also felt right…

“Xunxun…”

Little Xunbao finally stopped rolling, raised his head, and cried out through sobs.

Really…

“Of course.” Qiao Sang nodded sincerely and said, “The days on Yantianxing are long. When competing in the sun, you are the most conspicuous. Even if you compete at night, as long as you smile, plus the color of your eyes, you will definitely attract everyone’s attention.”

She knew that what little Xunbao really cared about was not that he was too dark, but that he didn’t attract everyone’s attention.

“Xunxun?”

Little Xunbao’s eyes gradually lit up as he listened to his own beastmaster. He stopped crying, floated up, wiped away the remaining tears, and called out again as if asking, is this all true?

From the tone of his voice, it was not difficult to see that he already believed it.

“If you don’t believe me, you can ask Gangbao and the others.” Qiao Sang said.

“Gangquan.” Gangbao called out cooperatively.

“Ya Ya!” Yabao also called out, indicating that his own beastmaster would certainly not lie to him.

Of all the companions, only big brother Yabao was the worst at lying. Little Xunbao instantly came to life, his eyes lighting up, and he grinned:

“Xunxun~”

Even under the living room light, his white teeth nearly blinded Qiao Sang.

“Qingqing…”

Qingbao sighed in relief.

Finally, he stopped crying…

“Let’s begin the examination,” Michaela said, seeing that little Xunbao had returned to his normal state. She looked at Jacqueline and said,

“Okay.” Jacqueline nodded slightly.

She went to the side and turned on the equipment that had been transferred by Peng Jiamei.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao floated over and cooperated obediently.

Soon, Jacqueline began the examination.

Little Xunbao allowed himself to be examined, occasionally checking himself in the mirror, grinning to examine his two rows of white teeth with a look of satisfaction.

Yes, just as his beastmaster had said, it was indeed very eye-catching.

Time passed slowly. Lubao took the lead, heading outside for training, followed by Yabao and the others.

After about an hour, Jacqueline finished her inspection and said,

“It’s evolving perfectly. All the data is correct. I’ll make the energy pills and send them to you as soon as possible.”

“In the meantime, you can buy some energy pills for Emperor-level ghost pets on the market to help you transition.”

A flicker of regret crossed her eyes.

Qiao Sang’s progress was rapid, and so was her pet. It was a shame that little Xunbao’s ceiling was only the Emperor-level Dark Ring Monarch. Otherwise, if she had contracted a pet with an Emperor-level ceiling, she’d be more competitive in the Star Cup.

“Okay,” Qiao Sang said, “thank you, teacher.”

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao chirped in agreement. “

Trouble~

” “No problem, it’s what I’m supposed to do,” Jacqueline said with a smile.

Mikaela turned and said, “Meimei, deliver it.”

Jacqueline, as if she knew what was coming, quickly picked up the equipment.

As she did so, Peng Jiamei’s eyes flashed blue, and she disappeared with her.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao chirped, signaling that it was time to go back to training.

“I’ll go with you,” Qiao Sang said.

He was about to walk out.

“Wait,” Michaela suddenly said, “Qiao Sang, stay here. I have something to tell you.” (End of this chapter)
