Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1392

Chapter 1392. Chapter 1387: Really a Fan? (Two Chapters Combined)

Living room, dining table.

Qiao Sang waited for dinner.

Ya Bao and the others were already eating energy pills.

Soon, a bear-like pet wearing a chef’s hat brought out steaming rice porridge, fried dough sticks, steamed buns, pan-fried buns, tea eggs, and other food.

Qiao Sang looked at the table full of food in silence, then picked up a steamed bun and took a bite.

The savory meat filling and the soft dough blended perfectly.

Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up, and she praised, “It tastes good.”

She had to admit, eating a steamed bun in the morning felt much better than eating sandwiches or bread.

“I knew you’d like it,” Michaela laughed. “This Zongte Bear is a pet beast of the Dragon Kingdom. After forming a contract with its beast tamer, it always worked as a kitchen helper. Later, its culinary skills even surpassed its beast tamer’s, and it even won awards related to food and made the news.”

Qiao Sang asked, “What about its beast tamer?”

“Zong Zong!” Zongte Bear barked heartily, indicating that it no longer had a beast tamer. Its former beast tamer’s culinary skills hadn’t improved at all, and it had no ambition whatsoever, so it kicked him out.

Qiao Sang was silent for two seconds, then cautiously asked, “This kicking out, doesn’t it mean breaking the contract?”

“Zong Zong!”

Zongte Bear nodded, puffed out its chest, and barked, indicating that its goal was to become a famous chef in the future, and it absolutely couldn’t be dragged down by mediocre humans.

Qiao Sang: “…”

She had only ever heard of pets looking down on humans for their mediocre beast-taming abilities, but this was the first time she’d ever seen a pet look down on a human for their mediocre cooking skills… Qiao Sang sighed,

“On Yan Tian Star, pets aiming to become master chefs are quite rare.”

“Zong Zong.”

Zong Te Bear called out, indicating that it wasn’t from Yan Tian Star, but from Tian Yuan Star.

Qiao Sang was taken aback: “You’re from Tian Yuan Star?”

“Zong Zong.” Zong Te Bear nodded.

Michaela took a sip of soy milk and said, “It’s not easy for alien pets to live on planets other than their native planet, so among the many applicants and pets, I chose it.”

Qiao Sang immediately became interested in Zong Te Bear and asked three questions in a row:

“Why did you want to become a master chef? Did you come to Yan Tian Star on your own? Or did you break your contract with your previous beast tamer after you came?”

To be honest, this was the first time she had ever actually seen an alien pet living alone on another planet; the alien pets she had seen before were mostly accompanied by beast tamers.

Little Treasure, chewing on an energy pill, looked over with equal interest.

“Zongzong.”

“Zongzong…”

Zongte Bear called out several times, a look of reminiscence on its face.

Qiao Sang listened patiently.

By the time Zongte Bear finished speaking, she had a pretty good grasp of the situation.

The main reason Zongte Bear wanted to become a famous chef was because its grandfather also wanted to be one. However, its grandfather hadn’t achieved his goal, so it inherited his grandfather’s will. Later, it formed a contract with a beast tamer who was a chef, hoping to embark on the path to becoming a famous chef. However, its beast tamer was unambitious, and its culinary skills didn’t improve, so it broke the contract and came to Yantian Star alone.

Qiao Sang digested this for a moment and asked, “Is an interstellar visa so easy to obtain?”

She had originally thought that Zongte Bear had broken the contract with its beast tamer after arriving on Yantian Star. After all, whether on Blue Star or Super Star, pets had to travel with their beast tamer for interstellar tourism.

“Zongzong?” Zongte Bear looked puzzled.

Is an interstellar visa difficult to obtain?

“Tianyuan Star is the planet where pets can most easily obtain interstellar visas for solo interstellar travel among the four planets,” Michaela explained. “On Tianyuan Star, whether a pet can obtain an interstellar visa mainly depends on their occupation, income, and the country they are from.”

“Jiu Bugu came to Yantian Star from Tianyuan Star alone.”

“Hearing this, it seems Tianyuan Star’s policies are quite open-minded,” Qiao Sang remarked.

“Mainly because of its cultural diversity,” Michaela smiled.

After saying that, she thought of something and continued, “Perhaps, after we finish our trip to Yantian Star, we can go and take a look at Tianyuan Star.”

Hearing this, Sharara, who was eating an energy meal, instinctively perked up her ears.

“Great idea!” Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up as she agreed.

Of the four planets inhabited by humans and pets, Tianyuan Star was the only one she hadn’t visited yet.

However, she quickly realized something and asked, “Don’t we need to go back to Blue Star again to have the Fate Spirit make a prediction?”

To be honest, she felt that the Fate Spirit’s predictions were quite accurate. The first prediction allowed her to successfully register for the Central Sky Region Competition and become a B-level Beast Tamer.

The second prediction led her to Yan Tian Star where she encountered the Tenth Seat and successfully learned about the evolutionary path of Ya Bao and the others.

Both predictions were complete successes.

“No need,” Michaela said while eating pan-fried buns. “You’re already an A-level professional Beast Tamer, and your progress is much faster than I imagined. Moreover, the higher the strength of the person being predicted, the harder it is for the Fate Spirit to make an accurate prediction. Rather than spending time going back to Blue Star for a not-so-accurate prediction, we might as well go directly to Tian Yuan Star.”

She paused and added, “But we’ll discuss everything after the Master Challenge. You don’t need to think about these things now.”

“Understood,” Qiao Sang said seriously.

At this moment, the Dragon King had finished his energy meal, came to the sofa, and turned on the TV.

The news channel was playing:

“Last night, the youngest A-level professional beast tamer in history, Qiao Sang’s pet beast, the Netherworld Lord, appeared late at night on Kascorpion Street, causing a sensation and traffic jams. Many residents rushed to the scene…”

The camera switched to a high-quality surveillance video, clearly showing Xiao Xunbao being surrounded by people asking for autographs and photos.

The number of people and pets around him almost filled the entire street that could be captured on camera.

“Xunxun~”

Xiao Xunbao’s eyes suddenly lit up, revealing a proud expression, and it called out, indicating that it wasn’t lying, that it was indeed very popular.

“Qingqing…”

Qingbao gritted its teeth secretly, somewhat disliking Xiao Xunbao’s smug face.

What was there to brag about? If it went out, it would definitely be just as popular…

There were even reporters on the scene taking pictures… Qiao Sang looked at the TV, and when he saw a certain figure, his expression immediately turned to surprise: “Isn’t that Cunzhupa?”

After learning that the pet being monitored was named Cunzhupa, she specifically checked the relevant photos.

Michaela also looked at the television, her brow furrowed, and said in a deep voice, “It really is it.”

Cunzhupa is an extremely rare pet on Tianyuan Star, and a Divine-level pet at that. It’s almost impossible for two to appear in the same place on Tianyuan Star, let alone on Yantian Star, within the same country. The Cunzhupa on television, acting like a fanatical fan, is undoubtedly the one sent by Yuanzhou University to monitor.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao called out, indicating that it remembered this guy. When it asked for an autograph yesterday, it hadn’t brought any paper, so it had specifically signed on its leaf.

“Ya Ya?”

Ya Bao looked thoughtful and called out, indicating that the pet’s name sounded familiar.

“Ting Ting.”

Ting Bao called out.

Yesterday, the boss had identified this pet using a pet identifier.

Little Xunbao: “?!?!”

“Xunxun!”

Little Xunbao instantly remembered something, its eyes widening, revealing an angry expression.

I thought it was a fan, but it turned out it was lying to me!

“Ya Ya,”

Ya Bao looked at the TV and called out, indicating that it might really be a fan; it didn’t seem fake.

“Xun Xun…”

Xun Bao’s angry expression vanished instantly.

Is that so…?

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao chuckled and called out, indicating it was impossible. Cunzhupa was an Emperor-level pet, while Xiaoxunbao was only a Royal-level; how could it possibly be a fan of Xiaoxunbao?

“Ya Ya.”

Ya Bao was instantly convinced and nodded, indicating it made sense.

“Xunxun!”

Xiaoxunbao looked indignant again and called out, indicating it had lied to him!

“Did it ask you anything?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Xunxun~”

Xiaoxunbao thought for a moment and shook its head.

“Did it try to trick you into revealing anything?” Qiao Sang asked again.

“Xunxun~”

Xiaoxunbao shook its head.

“Then what did it say to you?”

“Xunxun~”

Xiaoxunbao called out.

It said it wanted an autograph.

Qiao Sang paused for two seconds, then sighed, “I didn’t expect the Emperor-level pets on Tianyuan Star to be so adaptable.”

In her mind, the higher the level of the pet, the more arrogant it was. Although Penjami was usually quite easygoing, it was only because Teacher Michael was nearby. Penjami wouldn’t do something like asking a pet of a lower level for an autograph.

She never expected that Cunzhupa would go so far as to impersonate a fan just to get closer to Xiao Xunbao.

Michael said seriously,

“Before many competitions, some contestants will try their best to weaken their opponents’ strength. Xiao Xunbao has been in contact with Cunzhupa, so I suggest giving it a physical examination.”

Qiao Sang realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately said, “I’ll take it for a check-up right away.”

“No need to take it out,” Michael said, “I’ll call someone over.”

…

Meanwhile.

Jiangjing Hotel.

The room with the best view.

Feng Fu stared at the words on the leaf on Cunzhupa’s head and hesitated, “Is this the three words ‘Xiao Xunbao’?”

Li Chaoyuan drank his tea without answering.

“Cun Cun.”

Cun Zhu Pa gave an approving look and called out, indicating that you have good eyesight.

Then, it adjusted the leaf with its paw, making the signed side easier for Feng Fu to see.

“Cun Cun.”

“Cun Cun…”

Cun Zhu Pa began excitedly recounting its experiences from the previous night.

However, before it could finish, Li Chaoyuan interrupted, “It’s morning. Qiao Sang might have already started training. Go check.”

“Cun Cun.”

Cun Zhu Pa regained its composure, nodded, and then lay down on the sofa, closing its eyes.

Feng Fu stared at the signed leaf and remarked, “I didn’t expect Cun Zhu Pa to be a fan of the Underworld Ring Monarch… but the Underworld Ring Monarch’s performance last time was indeed quite amazing.”

As she spoke, she unconsciously moved closer to Cun Zhu Pa, reaching out to touch the signed leaf.

“Don’t touch it, or it might turn on you,” Li Chaoyuan said without looking up.

Feng Fu silently withdrew her hand.

At this moment, Cun Zhu Pa opened its eyes and called out,

“Cun Cun.”

It didn’t see Qiao Sang training.

“No need to go to that place anymore,” Li Chaoyuan said slowly. “If I’m not mistaken, after they learned what kind of pet you are and what your abilities are, they should have moved to a place without plants for training.”

“Cun Cun.” Cun Zhu Pa first showed an “Oh, I see” expression and called out.

It was no wonder it could never see Qiao Sang training.

After saying that, it suddenly thought of something and its expression became tense:

“Cun Cun…”

No wonder Xiao Xun Bao said yesterday that I looked familiar. If it remembers who I am later, will it think I have bad intentions…?

Li Chaoyuan: “…”

…

Villa, living room.

After a series of checks, Pen Jia Mei and Ya Ke Lin disappeared from the spot.

“Xun Xun…”

Xiao Xun Bao breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it was alright…

“In the future, when you go out shopping, you should still be careful when you encounter Cun Zhu Pa. It’s best not to let it get close.” Qiao Sang said worriedly.

“Xun Xun~”

Xiao Xun Bao nodded repeatedly.

“If an Emperor-level pet really wants to do something, Little Treasure Hunter can’t stop it,” Michaela said thoughtfully. “Perhaps Cunzhupa really might be a fan of Little Treasure Hunter.”

“I suddenly remembered another piece of information about Cunzhupa. This race values every part of their body, gets bathed in sweet dew every day, and doesn’t like anyone or any pet touching them. They even get angry if a Beastmaster touches them without washing their hands. Little Treasure Hunter was able to sign their name on it without leaving any hidden dangers, which means it might really be a fan.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang’s first thought was: Isn’t this obsessive-compulsive disorder? What if it’s a battle?

Immediately afterward, her second thought came: An Emperor-level pet is a fan of Little Treasure Hunter? Is that possible?

Qiao Sang unconsciously voiced her second thought.

In her impression, if a pet becomes a fan of someone, it’s usually because that person is someone they admire, and the prerequisite for admiration is, of course, someone stronger than themselves.

“Xunxun…”

Little Treasure Hunter nodded, acknowledging her Beastmaster’s words.

The other party is an Emperor-level pet beast, on par with Penjami and Jiu Bugu, how could they possibly be my fan…

Michaela said, “It’s impossible for Emperor-level pet beasts from other planets, but it’s not certain for pet beasts on Tianyuan Star. We can’t judge them by the standards of other planets.”

“Xunxun?”

Little Xunbao was stunned for a moment, then its eyes lit up, and it couldn’t wait to call out.

So, it’s really possible that Cunzhupa is my fan?

“Since the teacher said so, it should be very likely.” Qiao Sang only took 0.1 seconds to process the information before accepting most of it.

The Zongte Bear incident made her realize that Tianyuan Star is indeed a very different planet.

“Xunxun!”

Seeing its own Beastmaster say so, Little Treasure Hunt immediately showed an excited expression and began to float happily above the living room.

It had an Emperor-level fan! It had an Emperor-level fan!

Suddenly, Qiao Sang’s ears twitched, as if she had heard something. She looked at Tingbao, who had been lying to the side, walked over, and said,

“Come on, I’ll take you to swallow lightning.”

Tingbao: “?”

Was it that sudden? (End of Chapter)
