Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1495

Chapter 1495. Chapter 1489 The Weeping Is Not Alone (Part 2)

Qiao Sang looked up and saw a huge energy pool in front of her.

The water was calm and still, with a thin mist resembling purple poison gas. Thick trees grew around it, their branches forming a canopy, and vines hanging like curtains. Some poison-type pets curiously peeked out from among the branches.

“This is a royal-level energy pool,” the uncle explained.

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment, then asked, “It’s not poisonous, is it?”

“Xunxun,”

Little Xunbao floated to the edge of the pool and secretly stretched out its paw.

The uncle laughed, “Haha, you saw through me! This energy pool does indeed contain some toxins.”

Qiao Sang: “???”

Gangbao: “???”

Little Xunbao: “!!!”

Little Xunbao was so frightened that it quickly withdrew its paw and teleported back to its beast tamer.

“But don’t worry,” the uncle continued, “the toxins here won’t affect energy absorption. As long as you absorb it all, you can soak in our manor’s detoxification pool for a while.”

Qiao Sang and Gangbao both breathed a sigh of relief.

Qiao Sang relaxed, then suddenly remembered something and asked, “Won’t absorbing energy in a toxic energy pool cause any harm to the body?”

“No,” the uncle said. “The toxins on the poisonous pets allowed to move around here are only mild. At most, they might cause some dizziness or disrupted energy flow. These problems will be resolved after soaking in our detoxification pool.”

“That’s good.” Qiao Sang finally felt completely relieved.

Michaela asked, “Is there a time limit for absorption?”

“Yes,” the uncle answered readily. “There’s a one-month time limit. If Steel Emperor reaches the next stage after a month, absorption must stop.”

Qiao Sang’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.

With Steel Treasure’s absorption ability, it might reach the next stage in less than a month. If it finished absorbing early, and no one reminded it, wouldn’t it be able to continue absorbing?

Thinking of this, Qiao Sang couldn’t help but look at Steel Treasure.

Steel Treasure looked back at its Beastmaster, giving it an “I understand” look.

As the man and beast stared at each other, the uncle continued, “The energy pool here can only support Royal-level pets up to the late stage of absorption.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

Gang Bao: “…”

Qiao Sang pretended nothing had happened and earnestly instructed, “Gang Bao, absorb well. I’ll come back to pick you up in a month.”

“Gang Quan.” Gang Bao nodded.

The uncle chuckled and said, “Although we strictly prohibit outsiders from entering, you are Gang Quan Royal’s Beast Tamer, so you can come in anytime.”

Qiao Sang: “…Great! I’ll come to see you every day.”

“Gang Quan.” Gang Bao nodded, then flapped its wings and flew into the energy pool.

“Xun Xun.”

Little Xun Bao watched this scene with envy.

At this moment, the uncle enthusiastically said, “Would you like to soak in our manor’s detoxification hot spring? Our hot spring is unique; it can definitely remove all the toxins from your body.”

“Xun Xun~”

Little Xun Bao’s envious expression instantly disappeared, and it eagerly raised its paw and cried out.

It wanted to go! It wanted to go!

Qiao Sang smiled and said, “Okay, then please take us there.”

Inside the courtyard, steam rose from the detoxifying hot spring.

It felt so comfortable, like soaking in a hot spring. Qiao Sang felt lazy all over, so comfortable that she wanted to fall asleep.

Xiao Xunbao and Qingbao were swimming in the hot spring, changing their swimming styles.

At first, they were swimming leisurely, but then they swam faster and faster, secretly competing with each other.

Later, Xiao Xunbao used its telekinesis to propel itself, while Qingbao used the wind to accelerate.

The splashing water hit Qiao Sang and Ya Bao in the face.

“Ice Saint.”

Lu Bao called out expressionlessly, silently emanating cold air from its body.

The temperature of the hot spring suddenly dropped.

“Xun Xun.”

“Qing Qing.”

Xiao Xunbao and Qingbao immediately stopped.

“Xia Xia.”

Xia Lala called out, indicating that the water was no longer warm

. Lu Bao’s body stiffened, and the cold air around it quickly dissipated.

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao called out, indicating that it wanted to warm up, easy.

After saying that, the flames around it suddenly expanded.

The next second, the hot spring boiled, bubbling up countless bubbles.

Having received the backflow of energy, Qiao Sang didn’t feel much.

“Xun Xun!”

“Qing Qing!”

“Ting Ting!”

“Xia Xia!”

Little Xun Bao and the others were immediately scalded and flew up.

“Ya Bao,” Qiao Sang called out.

“Ya Ya.”

Ya Bao realized something and dissipated the flames on its body.

Lu Bao silently emitted a little cold air, but quickly withdrew it.

The hot spring temperature warmed up again.

Little Xun Bao and the others returned to the hot spring, feeling the temperature inside, and all breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at this scene, Qiao Sang first thought of the hot spring she had soaked in not long ago, then of the reason for the hot spring’s formation, and finally of Jiu Bu Gu being attacked by two Emperor-level dragon-type pets. She couldn’t help but say,

“I wonder how Mei Mei and Jiu Bu Gu are doing now.”

Michaela, soaking in the hot spring, said relaxedly, “With Mei Mei around, Jiu Bu Gu will be fine.”

Even if a fight broke out, the opponent was only an Emperor-level dragon-type pet, while Mei Mei and Jiu Bu Gu were both Emperor-level, so they wouldn’t suffer a loss.

Michaela didn’t finish his sentence.

“I wonder when they’ll return,” Jossan sighed.

Meanwhile, in

Feng Kingdom

, in a certain valley:

“Yunyun!”

“Jiujiu!”

“Yunyun!”

“Jiujiu!”

A dragon-type pet, mostly red in color, was engaged in a fierce argument with Jiu Bugu.

Penjia Mei watched them from the sidelines, her face full of headache.

“Yunyun!”

After several minutes of this intense argument, the red dragon-type pet suddenly revealed an expression of extreme rage. With a flap of its wings, it soared into the sky with a powerful gust of air, opened its mouth, and terrifying flame energy instantly formed deep within its throat.

“Jiujiu!”

Jiu Bugu, utterly unafraid, pointed at its own head and roared, “Come on! If you hadn’t attacked me back then! Would I have been lying in the Beast Taming Center for so many days? You should be paying for my medical bills!”

The dragon-type pet, mostly red, stiffened, its mouth agape, maintaining a posture of gathering flames, unsure whether to attack or not.

“Penpen.”

Just as it was stuck in this stalemate, Penjia Mei teleported in front of it and called out soothingly.

The dragon-type pet, mostly red, seized the opportunity, snorted coldly, closed its mouth, and dissipated the fiery energy deep in its throat.

Penjia Mei’s eyes glowed blue.

Where her gaze fell, a rift appeared out of thin air.

Space slowly tore open and expanded.

Penjia Mei looked inside, and soon, a pile of dazzling jewels fell out.

The dragon-type pet, mostly red, suddenly brightened, and in a flash, caught the falling jewels.

The blue light in Penjami’s eyes faded, and the crack slowly closed, as if it had never existed.

“Jiujiu,”

Jiu Bugu called out, indicating that it could speak now.

“Yunyun,”

the dragon-type pet, mostly red, looked at it, snorted again, and gave an address.

6:30 PM.

A restaurant on the street.

Michaela ate absentmindedly.

Qiao Sang rambled on, “We’ll be staying in Yuan Kingdom for a month. If you’re out alone, be careful. Although we soaked in the antidote bath, the antidote effect only lasts a week. If you find anything wrong when you go out after a week, come back immediately and have Lu Bao treat you.”

Ya Bao and the others responded with a nod.

“Little Xun Bao, have you decided which competitions and activities to participate in?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Xun Xun,”

Little Xun Bao sighed and called out, indicating that it had looked into it and found that most of the recent events and competitions in Yuan Kingdom were related to poison, nothing it was particularly good at.

All related to poison? Qiao Sang paused for a moment, took out her phone, and checked it.

“Who’s More Poisonous? Competition,” “Most Anti-Poison Competition,” “King of Poisonous Beasts Competition”—it was indeed related to poison.

Qiao Sang sighed inwardly. Just as she was about to put her phone down, she suddenly saw something, her eyes lit up, and she placed the phone in front of Xiao Xunbao, saying,

“Take a look at this competition; I think it’s perfect for you.”

Xiao Xunbao looked down at the phone screen.

【Save More Competition】

【Competition Content: Within 24 hours, rescue poisoned humans and pets and send them to the appropriate treatment facilities. Whoever rescues the most patients wins.】

【Disclaimer: Participants in the Save More Competition will not receive any payment for sending patients to treatment facilities on the day of the competition.】

【Participation Requirements: Possess a rescue certificate.】

【Awards: Champion (100,000 Alliance Coins, 3 Poison Fruits), Runner-up (50,000 Alliance Coins, 2 Poison Fruits), Third Place (10,000 Alliance Coins, 1 Poison Fruit)】

【.】

“Xunxun~”

After reading it, Xiao Xunbao’s eyes suddenly lit up, and it called out, indicating that it liked it.

After speaking, its gaze fell on a certain line of text, a disappointed expression appearing on its face. It called out,

“Xunxun~”

But it didn’t have a first aid certificate yet.

“Just go take the test,” Qiao Sang smiled. “Taking these certificates isn’t difficult for you. This competition is in three days, enough time for you to take the test.”

The first aid certificate in Yuan Kingdom doesn’t require much professional medical knowledge. You only need to accurately determine whether someone is poisoned and take them to a hospital or beast taming center within the specified time to successfully obtain it.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao cheered up again, calling out in agreement.

“So, there are still competitions suitable for you to participate in.” Qiao Sang took back her phone and said, “I’ll help you check out the competitions and activities you can participate in later.”

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao nodded repeatedly.

“Xia Bao, don’t eat too much now. You’ll need to eat again later when you transform into battle form.”

“Xia Xia.”

“Ya Bao, although this hotel has an indoor training area, don’t train indoors. There’s an outdoor training area here. I’ll take you there later.”

“Ya Ya!”

Qiao Sang chatted with Ya Bao and the others while eating. Suddenly, she noticed that Teacher Mikaela hadn’t said a word since they started eating, unlike usual. She couldn’t help but ask,

“What are you thinking about?”

Mikaela glanced at the sky outside and said, “It’s already late, and Mei Mei and the others haven’t come back yet.”

Jiu Bu Gu had almost forgotten about it after disappearing for so long, but she already missed Pen Jia Mei after only half a day. It seemed that Teacher Mikaela was closer to Pen Jia Mei. Qiao Sang sighed inwardly and said, “If you miss them, you can call and ask.”

Just as Mikaela was about to say something, her phone vibrated.

She picked it up and saw the caller ID: Mei Mei.

Mikaela quickly answered the phone and put it to her ear: “Hello, why have you been gone for so long?”

Pen Jia Mei said something on the other end of the phone.

Michaela’s lips twitched slightly. After a two-second silence, he said,

“I understand.”

He then hung up the phone.

Josang asked, “Was that Meimei calling? What did she say?”

Michaela seemed hesitant to speak, remaining silent for a long time.

Just as Josang was about to ask further, a news report suddenly appeared on the restaurant’s television:

“At 4:15 PM today, in Fengguo, an Emperor-level pet beast, the Night Demon, appeared on the street, crying loudly, attracting widespread attention. Passersby said that even without knowing why it was crying, they could feel its sadness. Some saw another Emperor-level pet beast, Penjami, beside it.”

The television channel switched to a camera feed. In the video, a pet beast with a white ghost face on its belly could be clearly seen weeping bitterly. Beside it, a pet beast with jet-like wings silently offered a tissue.

Seemingly sensing that a camera was pointed at them, the jet-like pet beast glanced at the camera, its eyes glowing blue.

The next second, the two figures in the frame disappeared.

Qiao Sang immediately recognized Penjami and Jiu Bugu.

Michaela’s eyelids twitched violently.

“Ya Ya?”

Ya Bao called out, indicating why Jiu Bugu was crying.

“Xun Xun,”

Little Xun Bao said thoughtfully.

So crying can make the news?

“What happened? Why is Jiu Bugu crying?” Qiao Sang repeated Ya Bao’s words.

Michaela hesitated for a moment before finally speaking:

“Meimei just called and said that Jiu Bugu found Xiaoyan Yeling and couldn’t help but go up and chat for a bit, but the conversation went wrong. Xiaoyan Yeling said that the main reason it broke up with Jiu Bugu was that the Emperor-level dragon-type pet kept harassing it and asking for money.”

“Originally, it broke up with Jiu Bugu because it thought that Jiu Bugu was its partner and that Jiu Bugu would leave Tianyuan Star with its beast tamer, me, so it wanted to break up as soon as possible to avoid this harassment. It didn’t expect that the other party would continue to harass it. It was already regretting the breakup, but now it knows that everything was caused by Jiu Bugu. It said it only regrets not beating up Jiu Bugu when it broke up with him.”

It paused and added:

“Then it beat up Jiu Bugu. You saw what happened next. Meimei said that once Jiu Bugu has cried enough, she will bring it back.”

Qiao Sang: “.”

Goodness, so Jiu Bugu was dumped because of this time travel?

“Xunxun.”

Little Xunbao showed a sympathetic expression after hearing this.

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao understood and called out, implying that he deserved it.

Xiao Xunbao immediately looked at Qingbao.

Qingbao gave him a “I didn’t say anything wrong” look. Qiao Sang

was silent for a while, then said,

“Although Jiu Bugu got beaten up, this matter should be considered officially over. I hope Jiu Bugu can get over it.” (End of this chapter)
