Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1570

Chapters 1570 and 1564 are here! (Combined)

When Qiao Sang and Ya Bao appeared out of thin air, they saw Jiu Bu Gu looking sad.

She was stunned for a moment and asked,

“Did Jiu Bu Gu get caught in the rain?”

Michaela hummed in agreement and changed the subject: “Why are you back so soon? Didn’t you find Xiao Yu Lai Shi?”

Qiao Sang sat down on the sofa and sighed,

“We didn’t see her. When we went over, we saw an old lady, but I sensed the presence of a pet in the house, which should have been Xiao Yu Lai Shi. It didn’t come out, and the old lady also said that she didn’t have Xiao Yu Lai Shi there. After that, I didn’t sense the presence of any pet in the house again.”

“Xun Xun~”

Xiao Xun Bao raised its paw and interrupted with a meow, indicating that it had teleported in to check and indeed, Xiao Yu Lai Shi wasn’t there.

“That’s right.” Qiao Sang continued, “Xiao Xun Bao even secretly went in to check, but didn’t see Xiao Yu Lai Shi. It must have taken the opportunity to leave during the conversation.”

Although the old lady said that Xiao Yu Lai Shi wasn’t in the house, she trusted her own and the Shi Wu Gu’s senses, as well as the location of the Jian Yin Suo Suo.

Michaela asked, “Who was that old lady?”

“I don’t know,” Josang replied. “She didn’t reveal any information, and when I asked about Xiao Yulai, she didn’t seem interested in continuing the conversation. Then it started raining, so I left.”

Michaela inquired, “Are you sure Xiao Yulai was inside at the time?”

Josang thought for a moment and cautiously replied, “90%.”

After all, she hadn’t seen Xiao Yulai in person, so she couldn’t guarantee 100%.

“If it was Xiao Yulai inside at the time, then it might have been very unhappy because of your appearance.” Michaela said, gesturing to the rain outside the window,

“This rain full of negative energy is from your past.”

Josang glanced out the window, about to speak,

when suddenly she noticed that Jiu Bugu was already crying and pounding the ground:

“Jiu Jiu!”

It was so powerful, why was it still single! Why?!

Josang: “…”

Michaela’s lips twitched, feeling somewhat embarrassed. She raised her hand, about to put Jiu Bugu back into the Beast Taming Manual.

Qiao Sang picked up Xia Bao.

“Xia Xia.”

Xia Bao was suddenly lifted up and stared blankly at her beast tamer standing nearby.

The flower bud on her neck swayed involuntarily, emitting a fragrance as fresh as nature itself.

The sad expression on Jiu Bu Gu’s face gradually disappeared. It raised its head, somewhat bewildered, and wiped away the tears from the corners of its eyes. Then, it saw Lu Bao not far away, its eyes suddenly lit up, and it floated over.

Lu Bao remembered what Jiu Bu Gu had said when it was sad earlier and unconsciously took a step back.

Jiu Bu Gu: “.”

Michaela silently lowered the hand that was about to wave.

“It seems that the pet beast in the house at that time was Xiao Yu Lai Shi.” Qiao Sang returned to the main topic, “I can understand that it doesn’t want to see strangers who just come to the door, but there are a few things I don’t quite understand.”

“What don’t you understand?” Michaela turned to look at her.

As Qiao Sang recalled the scene, she said, “The location was a relatively remote suburb, the environment and houses were average. I feel that even if a country’s guardian beast doesn’t claim a territory to live in, it should still live in a relatively beautiful place. Besides, Xiao Yulai is the guardian beast of Xiao Kingdom, so that old lady had no reason to deny that it was there.”

“Even if it didn’t want to see strangers and beasts, it could have just said it didn’t want to see them. I think with its status in Xiao Kingdom, as long as it disagreed, no one and no beast would force itself in front of it.”

Michaela pondered for a moment and said,

“It is a bit strange. Perhaps Xiao Yulai doesn’t want people to know that it was there.”

Did it not want to be known? Qiao Sang thought for a moment and agreed, saying, “I think so too.”

“Do you still want to go find Xiao Yulai?” Michaela asked.

Qiao Sang didn’t hesitate much, saying, “I still want to find some time to go look for it again. After all, this might allow Little Xunbao to learn to sense and absorb the emotional energy of everyone’s affection for it on a larger scale.”

“Xunxun~”

Little Xunbao raised its paw and meowed impatiently, indicating that it should go look for Xiao Yulai again right now.

“Not now.” Qiao Sang looked at it and said with a smile, “Didn’t we just go look for it? It didn’t want to see us at all, and its location has changed now. We don’t know where it is.”

“Xunxun.”

Little Xunbao showed an “okay then” expression.

Michaela calmly said, “Even if you go to find Xiao Yulai again, it might not see you. Perhaps you could try contacting that old lady.”

Qiao Sang was taken aback. “Old lady?”

“Yes.” Michaela nodded slightly. “Although I didn’t go, based on your analysis, that old lady definitely knows Xiao Yulai. Perhaps you can start with her to learn about Xiao Yulai’s situation.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang pondered for two seconds and suddenly asked,

“Do you think this Xiao Yulai in Xiao Kingdom has a Beast Tamer?”

It’s possible for a country’s guardian beast to have a Beast Tamer, like Qingbao. Once it grows up, the hollow region of Blue Star Dragon Kingdom will invite it to be their guardian beast.

Michaela said, “After all, it’s a guardian beast. You might be able to find that on Xiao Kingdom’s website.”

Without hesitation, Qiao Sang immediately took out her phone and searched for relevant information.

However, she quickly put down her phone, shaking her head in disappointment:

“There’s no relevant information. The internet only introduces Xiao Yulai’s basic situation and things like her guardian beast.”

“In this case, there are two possibilities,” Michaela analyzed: “Either Xiao Yulai doesn’t have a beast tamer, or the relevant information has been deliberately blocked or erased.”

After a pause, she asked:

“Do you think that old lady might be Xiao Yulai’s beast tamer?”

“No, not at all,” Qiao Sang said: “That old lady should just be an ordinary person. I think if Xiao Yulai had a beast tamer, it would be easier for me to communicate with her.”

Now, as an S-rank beast tamer, she can keenly detect whether the other person is also a beast tamer, because as long as someone has made a breakthrough in their brain and has access to the Beast Taming Codex, they will have energy fluctuations that are clearly different from ordinary people.

The old lady she just saw didn’t have such energy fluctuations.

Perhaps that old lady does have some connection with Xiao Yulai, but it’s definitely not a contractual relationship between a beast tamer and a pet.

Michaela pondered for a few seconds and said, “If you want to know if there were any Beast Tamers before Xiao Yulai, perhaps you could ask Jian Yin Suo Suo.”

Qiao Sang asked in confusion, “Weren’t all related messages on the internet deleted and blocked?”

Michaela smiled and said, “Jian Yin Suo Suo has been active on the Tianyuan Star’s network for a long time. Even if related messages were deliberately erased, it might still remember some.”

After a pause, she added,

“Many professional Beast Tamers will spend time erasing some of their related information online before participating in interstellar Beast Taming battles. For example, they might try to hide skill combinations or pet traits that were secretly photographed. However, these messages always leave traces. So, if you want to find information that your opponent has deliberately erased, you’ll specifically ask some mechanical-type pets active on the internet in your opponent’s region for help. This way, you might be able to find the erased information.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang’s heart stirred. She picked up her phone again and said,

“I’ll ask Jian Yin Suo Suo.”

She found Jian Yin Suo Suo’s contact information and sent the questions she wanted to ask.

A short while later, a message returned:

【The guardian beast of Xiao Kingdom, Xiao Yulai, did indeed have a beast tamer, but he passed away decades ago.】

So there really was a beast tamer who had died? Qiao Sang fell into deep thought.

It seemed the only option was to find Xiao Yulai in person, or that old woman.

“What did Jian Yin Suosuo say?” Michaela asked.

“Xiao Yulai once had a Beastmaster, but he has passed away,” Qiao Sang said succinctly.

Michaela pondered for a moment and said, “If Xiao Yulai doesn’t want to see you, perhaps you could try finding the descendants of its Beastmaster. Generally, when the Beastmaster of such a pet dies, it will take special care of the descendants.”

“Descendants?” Qiao Sang was taken aback. “That’s too difficult to find. I’d rather find that old lady. If that doesn’t work, I can always pinpoint the location and go directly to Xiao Yulai.”

Michaela smiled and said, “Follow your method, but don’t forget the main purpose. Our primary objective here is to find the alien pet.”

Actually, if they followed her method, once they knew the location, they could simply have Penjame go to it. If Xiao Yulai refused to communicate, a hypnosis would suffice. The

Object-Knowing Monster glanced at her.

“I understand,” Qiao Sang nodded slightly.

Time slowly passed.

For the next three days, Qiao Sang went out early and returned late, taking Ya Bao and the others to training, and also taking the Object Recognition Monster to search for alien pets on the streets in her spare time.

Unsurprisingly, the latter came up empty-handed.

In the evening, in the hotel’s rooftop room,

Qiao Sang and Ya Bao appeared out of thin air.

At this time, Michaela was still out searching for alien pets with the Object Recognition Monster and hadn’t returned.

As soon as Qiao Sang returned, she immediately formed hand seals and summoned Qing Bao.

“Qing Qing!”

Qing Bao appeared in the huge golden star array, shouting angrily, while a fierce gust of wind swept around it.

Everything in the living room was blown away.

Qiao Sang wasn’t surprised.

During these three days, Qing Bao would bicker with Xiao Xun Bao several times while training or searching for alien pets. Each time they bickered, a gust of wind would rise around it, attracting the police to come and issue fines.

One fine wasn’t enough; often, multiple fines were issued, forcing her to add Qing Bao to the Beast Taming Manual.

Upon entering the Beast Taming Manual, Qingbao grew even angrier, and every time it was summoned, a fierce wind would inevitably rise around it.

This happened every time.

“Lu Bao,” Qiao Sang called out.

“Ice~ Ice ice ice~ Ice~ Ice ice ice~” Lu Bao opened its mouth, skillfully singing a siren-like song.

An invisible sound wave rippled outwards.

Qingbao’s angry expression gradually turned peaceful.

Everything fell.

“Little Treasure Hunter,” Qiao Sang called out.

“Hunting.”

Little Treasure Hunter’s expression was peaceful, its eyes glowing blue.

All the fallen objects were instantly controlled by an invisible force, then slowly placed back in their original positions.

Five minutes later, the healing sound wave effect disappeared, and Qingbao’s peaceful expression vanished as well, replaced by a blank expression as a fierce wind raged around it.

“Alright, alright,” Qiao Sang quickly reassured it, “We can leave in another day.”

Xiao Kingdom wasn’t a large country; in another day, they would have searched almost everything.

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao looked at its beast tamer, the raging wind around it subsided considerably, and it cried out with a wronged expression.

“I understand,” Qiao Sang said understandingly, “The laws here are just too bizarre. If someone keeps talking about what makes me angry and keeps fining me, I definitely won’t be able to control my emotions.”

“Qingqing!”

Hearing this, Qingbao felt even more wronged, throwing itself into its beast tamer’s arms, complaining about the rules of the Laughing Kingdom and the police who fined it.

Although it was complaining, the raging wind around it had completely disappeared.

Qiao Sang hugged Qingbao and gently stroked its back to comfort it.

Gangbao looked at its beast tamer with admiration.

“Xunxun?”

At this moment, Xiao Xunbao called out, indicating when to go find Xiao Yulai again?

Qingbao stopped complaining, turned around and glared at Xiao Xunbao, its eyes saying: Didn’t you see that your beast tamer is comforting me!

“Xunxun.”

Xiao Xunbao subconsciously showed an “I was wrong” expression.

“It’s indeed time to go find Xiao Yulai again, otherwise we’ll have to leave Xiao Kingdom soon.” Qiao Sang let go of Qingbao, took out her phone, and said,

“I’ll ask Jian Yin Suo Suo where Xiao Yulai is.”

Qingbao glared at Xiao Xunbao, though its expression was one of displeasure, no wind seemed to rise around it.

Xiao Xunbao keenly sensed that Qingbao wasn’t really angry, and stayed put, blinking innocently.

Soon, Jian Yin Suo Suo sent the relevant location.

“The location is here,” Qiao Sang said, looking at her phone.

“Xunxun~”

Xiao Xunbao floated over, looked at the location, and its eyes glowed blue.

The next second, it disappeared from the spot with its beast tamer and Ya Bao.

Suburbs, low, old bungalows.

Qiao Sang and Ya Bao appeared out of thin air.

It’s here again. Qiao Sang looked around and was stunned.

“Ya Ya?”

Ya Bao also looked around, looking puzzled, and called out, indicating that they had been here before.

“It’s the same place,” Qiao Sang said in a deep voice.

After speaking, she suddenly remembered something and winked at Xiao Xunbao towards the house.

Xiao Xunbao instantly understood its master’s meaning, nodded like a thief, and disappeared.

Just as it vanished, the door opened.

The old woman frowned slightly when she saw Qiao Sang and Ya Bao, but quickly smiled and asked,

“Why are you here again?”

Qiao Sang answered honestly, “I’m looking for Xiao Yulai Shi.”

“I already told you, it’s not here,” the old woman said helplessly. “How could Xiao Yulai Shi be in a place like this?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Xunbao’s voice rang out from inside the house:

“Xunxun!”

Xiao Yulai Shi is here! (End of Chapter)
