Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1512

1512. Chapter 1506 The First Seat’s Summoning (Part Two)

The next morning, at 8:15, Ya Bao slowly woke up and opened its eyes.

Through its blurry vision, it saw its own Beastmaster frozen in ice.

Ya Bao was stunned for a moment, then instantly woke up completely, jumping up and letting out a furious roar:

“Ya Ya!”

Who did this?!

Then, it opened its mouth, and scorching flames instantly condensed in its mouth, preparing to spray them at its frozen Beastmaster to help thaw it.

“Stop it!” Qiao Sang felt the surrounding heat and was startled in the ice shell, quickly shouting in her mind.

She wasn’t afraid of being burned by the flames, but Ya Bao was now a Royal-level beastmaster, and if it wasn’t controlled properly, the entire room, or even the entire hotel, could very well burn down.

Gang Bao was in sync with its Beastmaster’s thoughts and was about to stop it when Lu Bao called out:

“Ice Saint.”

It was its Beastmaster who had told it to freeze.

“Ya Ya?”

Ya Bao stopped casting its flames, looking at Lu Bao with a blank expression, and called out.

“Xunxun~”

“Xunxun~”

Before Lu Bao could speak again, Little Xunbao floated over and started explaining.

“Ice Saint.”

Lu Bao nodded, indicating that was it.

“Ya Ya.”

Ya Bao suddenly understood, showing an “Oh, I see” expression.

“Ya Ya?”

Then it thought of something and called out, indicating how long it would have to be frozen?

“Ice Saint.”

Lu Bao called out, indicating that its Beastmaster said to wait until it woke up.

“Ya Ya?”

Ya Bao looked puzzled and called out, indicating that it was awake now, so why wasn’t it thawed?

“Ice Saint.”

Lu Bao was silent for a moment, then called out, indicating that because it was still awake, it would wait until its Beastmaster woke up before thawing it.

Qiao Sang: “.”

I’ve been awake the whole time, Lu Bao!

“Ya Ya.”

Ya Bao again showed an “Oh, I see” expression.

“Ting Ting?”

Suddenly, Ting Bao called out, indicating that its Beastmaster was still frozen and couldn’t move, so how could it tell if she was awake?

Lu Bao and Ya Bao both fell into deep thought. “

Tingbao, you’re so smart!” Qiao Sang thought to herself.

Lu Bao was quiet, and you wouldn’t usually notice, but once you got to know her well, you’d realize she was actually on the same intelligence level as Ya Bao.

“Tingting.”

In a flash of thought, Tingbao glanced at Ya Bao and called out, indicating that she thought her Beastmaster was awake; she usually woke up earlier than Ya Bao.

“Xunxun~”

Little Xun Bao nodded in agreement, confirming that was indeed the case.

“Gangquan.”

At this moment, Gang Bao called out, indicating that her Beastmaster had actually been awake the whole time.

Ya Bao: “!!!”

Lu Bao: “.”

Lu Bao looked at her Beastmaster and circulated her energy.

The next second, with a “crack,” cracks appeared in the ice shell surrounding Qiao Sang, shattering completely.

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao quickly jumped to her Beastmaster’s side.

Qiao Sang suddenly opened her eyes and sat up abruptly.

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao exclaimed with surprise.

“Ice Saint…”

Lu Bao looked embarrassed.

“It’s alright,” Qiao Sang said, looking at Lu Bao. “This is the perfect time to thaw. Actually, even if I were frozen for a longer period, it wouldn’t be a problem.”

Because of the cold and not having slept all night, her face was still covered in frost, making her look unusually pale and haggard.

Lu Bao didn’t say anything, but silently lit up the gem on her forehead with a faint blue light, shining it on her beast tamer.

Soon, the faint blue light dissipated, the frost on Qiao Sang’s face disappeared, and her complexion regained its rosy hue.

Seeing this, Lu Bao felt a little better.

Qiao Sang keenly noticed Lu Bao’s condition and pretended to sigh, “Indeed, freezing for only one night is too short. I deliberately stayed up to check, and I didn’t feel cold, nor did my brain show any unusual activity. It seems I’ll have to wait until we leave Qi Kingdom and find time for a longer period of freezing.” No

cold? Lu Bao’s ears twitched, her expression remained unchanged, but her eyes brightened slightly, and she felt completely relieved.

It had initially thought its freezing skill was the reason its Beastmaster hadn’t slept all night, but now it seemed its Beastmaster simply didn’t want to sleep.

Then, it realized something and fell into deep thought.

Freezing all night without feeling cold—was its skill really that ineffective? It seemed it needed to strengthen its freezing power for its Beastmaster in the future.

“Xunxun?”

Little Xunbao remembered its business and called out, indicating when to go find that human named Zhou Jing.

Qiao Sang had already planned ahead and said,

“We’ll go after breakfast.”

Forty minutes later.

In a high-end residential area in the city center, on the 24th floor, in the living room, Zhou Jing and Yanluo Beast sat side-by-side at a dressing table with their eyes closed, while two makeup artists did their makeup.

Suddenly, two small, black, identical pets with purple eyes appeared out of thin air in front of the two makeup artists, grinning.

Without any warning, the two makeup artists closed their eyes and fell backward with a “thud,” unconscious.

Zhou Jing and Yanluo Beast were startled and opened their eyes simultaneously.

“Yanluo!”

The Yanluo Beast, seeing the pet that had suddenly appeared before it, immediately jumped back a step, its expression angry, assuming a ready-to-attack stance.

However, the next second, Little Treasure Hunter’s purple-glowing eyes glanced at it.

“Yanluo.”

The Yanluo Beast’s angry expression instantly turned to drowsiness, then it closed its eyes, collapsed to the ground, and also fell into a deep sleep.

Zhou Jing: “!!!”

“Who are you?” Zhou Jing’s pupils constricted, his face changed drastically, and he suppressed his fear as he stared at the pet beast he had never seen before.

His Flame Luo Beast was already at the late King level, so for it to fall so easily, this pet beast was at least at the Emperor level!

Why would an Emperor-level pet beast come knocking on his door?

A sasaeng fan?

That shouldn’t be the case; an Emperor-level pet beast wouldn’t do something so low.

Could it be that one of his opponents paid a high price to have an Emperor-level pet beast interfere with him?

But he had just finished a competition and had no plans to participate in any other competitions in the near future.

Suddenly, Zhou Jing thought of something, and a chill ran down his spine.

He had recently been rumored to be one of the candidates for the First Seat’s next audience. Could it be that someone didn’t want him to be summoned by the First Seat, so they sent

an Emperor-level pet beast? Who was this bastard?

Just as Zhou Jing was recalling all his past opponents in his mind, the two identical pet beasts in front of him suddenly merged into one.

Immediately afterward, a clear voice rang out in the room:

“I’ve come to make a deal with you.”

Someone else?! Zhou Jing jumped, turning to look in the direction of the voice.

He saw a girl with delicate features, who looked only a teenager, and several unfamiliar pets appear on the sofa, calmly observing him.

Zhou Jing’s face paled slightly.

In this world, the scariest thing wasn’t encountering a beast tamer who seemed experienced, but rather those who looked young yet were surrounded by many pets. Such beast tamers were the true old monsters, truly unfathomable.

The girl before him was clearly the latter.

Suppressing his fear, Zhou Jing took a deep breath and said, “Whatever reward they offer, I can give you double, as long as you don’t harm me and the Flame Luo Beast.”

Qiao Sang: “???”

“Gang Quan.”

Gang Bao silently glanced at his beast tamer, thinking, “See, they’ve misunderstood.”

Qiao Sang pretended not to hear Gang Bao’s words and calmly said,

“I’m just here to make a deal with you.”

“What deal?” Zhou Jing asked cautiously.

“I want the Yang Vortex Crystal from the Flame Luo Beast.” Qiao Sang went straight to the point, saying, “I can give you anything you want.”

After a pause, she added, “Or if you or anyone around you has a terminal illness, I can help treat it.”

*If you really could give me anything, you wouldn’t be asking me for the Yang Vortex Crystal.* Zhou Jing couldn’t help but mentally complain upon hearing this, but more than anything, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He had initially thought the other party wanted more, but thankfully it was just the Yang Vortex Crystal.

Despite his reluctance, Zhou Jing still said, “I can give you the Yang Vortex Crystal directly.”

A true deal only exists when both parties are of equal strength; when their strengths are unequal, there’s no way to have an equal deal. He just wanted the other party to leave quickly. *

Give it to me directly?* Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up, eager to agree immediately, but her conscience bothered her. She remained silent for a moment before saying seriously,

“I won’t take your money for nothing. What do you want?”

Seeing that she seemed genuinely interested in a deal, Zhou Jing’s heart stirred. He took a deep breath and said,

“I want you to take me away from Qi Kingdom.”

“Leave Qi Kingdom?” Qiao Sang was stunned.

“Yes.” Zhou Jing nodded vigorously, his expression earnest. “I want to leave Qi Kingdom.”

Qiao Sang frowned and asked, “Can’t you leave Qi Kingdom yourself?”

Zhou Jing smiled wryly, “You’re definitely not from Qi Kingdom. People and pets here are generally not allowed to leave Qi Kingdom, especially high-level coordinators like us.”

“Why?” Qiao Sang asked, puzzled.

Zhou Jing paused, then shook his head. “I don’t know. The higher-ups are very strict about this.”

Could it be because the First Seat is here, and they don’t want people from Qi Kingdom to gossip? That shouldn’t be the case. With the First Seat’s prestige, as long as a clear order is given within Qi Kingdom, no one should gossip outside. A jumble of confused thoughts flashed through Qiao Sang’s mind.

She had a feeling that the Qi Kingdom might be hiding something she didn’t know.

Qiao Sang collected her thoughts, not immediately agreeing, but instead asking,

“Do you have Ice Glass Fruit?”

Huh? Zhou Jing hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, “No.”

Qiao Sang asked again, “I heard you might be summoned by the First Seat soon. Don’t you want to meet the First Seat before you leave?”

Zhou Jing was silent for a long time, then said hesitantly yet expectantly, “I don’t know if the First Seat will summon me. Can you wait until it’s confirmed before taking me away?”

Sure enough, there was a possibility of being summoned by the First Seat. Qiao Sang said without hesitation, “Of course.”

If the other party could meet the First Seat, she could also get some information about the First Seat from him.

After all, he was the highest-ranking official in the Beast Taming Alliance; it would be a lie to say she wasn’t curious.

Zhou Jing was pleasantly surprised that the big shot in front of him was so easy to talk to. Then, remembering something, he immediately went to the Flame Luo Beast’s side, took off the Yang Vortex Crystal, and handed it over: “You can take it now.”

Qiao Sang glanced at the crimson crystal in front of him, but did not take it immediately. Instead, he said, “Before we make a deal, I want to confirm something.”

“What is it?” Zhou Jing asked quickly.

“I want to test whether you can leave Qi Kingdom now.” After Qiao Sang finished speaking, he looked at Little Xunbao and said, “Take him out and try.”

Zhou Jing: “!!!” “

Xunxun~”

Almost the next moment after it disappeared, the entire space above Qi Kingdom trembled slightly. Blue light collided with an invisible barrier, causing it to ripple like water.

“Xunxun.”

Little Xunbao brought Zhou Jing to the bottom of the barrier, shook his slightly dizzy head, and then his eyes glowed blue before disappearing again.

At the same time, in a palace shrouded in thick fog, on the throne at the far end, a pet beast dressed in a wide purple robe slowly opened its eyes, revealing a pair of deep blue pupils.

Below the throne, a group of pet beasts of various shapes, but all magnificent, were performing with great enthusiasm.

The pet beast in the purple robe did not look at the performing pets, but looked ahead, its eyes glowing blue.

Immediately afterwards, a scene appeared out of thin air in front of them, the scene where Xiao Xunbao had led Zhou Jing into the aerial barrier earlier.

A high-end residential area in the city center, 24th floor.

“Xunxun.”

Xiao Xunbao appeared out of thin air with Zhou Jing, shaking its head.

Even spatial teleportation couldn’t get them out? Qiao Sang’s heart sank, sensing a troublesome situation. The

entry and exit of the Qi Kingdom’s management personnel were obviously much stricter than she had imagined .

Just then, Zhou Jing cautiously asked, “Senior, should we still do this deal?”

He realized that he had just failed to leave the country.

“Of course we should,” Qiao Sang said.

Zhou Jing’s face lit up with joy, and he quickly handed over the Yang Vortex Crystal in his hand again.

Qiao Sang took the Yang Vortex Crystal and asked,

“When will the First Seat confirm the summons?”

Given the strict entry and exit controls in Qi Kingdom, she still wanted to leave within the stipulated time.

While spatial teleportation wasn’t an option, other methods could be tried, such as getting the other party into the small treasure hunt’s ring.

Zhou Jing thought for a moment and said, “I’m not sure. It mainly depends on the First Seat’s mood. However, shortly after the Coordination Competition ends, the First Seat will select a Coordinator or Pet for an audience.”

“I can only wait for you for six days,” Qiao Sang said. “If the First Seat hasn’t arranged an audience within six days, I’ll have to leave.”

Zhou Jing was taken aback at first, then quickly said, “I’ll go with you then.”

Rather than not knowing if he could even see the First Seat, he was more eager to leave the Qi Kingdom.

“Alright then,” Qiao Sang said, handing the Yang Vortex Crystal to Little Treasure Hunter.

Just then, a rift appeared out of thin air between the two of them, and a claw wearing a gemstone ring extended from it. On its middle finger hung an exquisitely carved golden sphere. When

Zhou Jing saw this, his mind went blank, his lips parted slightly, his expression froze, and he was stunned on the spot.

After a long while, he took the golden sphere with trembling hands.

“What is this?” Qiao Sang asked.

Zhou Jing’s face flushed with excitement, his voice trembling as he said, “This, this is the summons certificate for the First Seat!”

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao immediately moved closer to the golden spherical object, examining it curiously.

Qiao Sang: “!!!”

This, this is a summons? Qiao Sang was utterly shocked.

The claw that had extended from the crack didn’t retract, but instead twitched its middle finger.

The next second, another exquisitely carved golden spherical object appeared where the middle finger had been. (End of Chapter)
