Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1571
Chapter 1571. Chapter 1565 The Old Lady’s Request (Part Two)
“Xiao Yu Lai Shi!”
A furious voice rang out from inside.
Hearing the voice, the old woman’s smile vanished; her face changed drastically, and she rushed into the house.
Sure enough, it was inside. Qiao Sang, along with Ya Bao and the others, quickly followed.
Inside, a pet beast, mostly milky white with pale purple stripes, pale pink fin-like structures on its chest, a pale purple tail, and two pale purple spikes hanging from its ears, glared angrily at Xiao Xun Bao.
“Xun Xun~”
Xiao Xun Bao teleported to its master’s side, pointing at the mostly milky white pet beast and calling out, indicating that Xiao Yu Lai Shi was there.
When Qiao Sang was looking for Xiao Yu Lai Shi, she had specifically searched for information online, and Xiao Xun Bao had been watching, so it naturally recognized its appearance.
“Who let you in!” the old woman glared.
Xiao Yu Lai Shi looked angrily at Qiao Sang and Xiao Xun Bao, its eyes flashing blue.
“Ya Ya!”
Ya Bao quickly stepped forward, blocking his Beastmaster’s path.
At the same time, a loud “boom” rang out outside, and dark clouds instantly gathered in the sky outside the window.
It looked like rain was about to fall.
Inside the house, Qiao Sang quickly called out,
“Lu Bao!”
“Bing Bing~ Bing Bing~ Bing~ Bing Bing Bing~”
Lu Bao’s head popped out of the backpack, opening its mouth.
A siren-like song rang out, and invisible sound waves rippled outwards.
Soon, Xiao Yu Lai Shi and the old lady’s expressions became peaceful.
The dark clouds outside the window dispersed, the sun appeared, and the sky once again revealed its azure blue.
“I have no ill intentions. I just came to ask Xiao Yu Lai Shi a question.” Taking advantage of the healing sound wave’s effect, Qiao Sang quickly stated her purpose.
Before Xiao Yulai could speak, the old woman asked calmly,
“What brings you here?”
“I have a pet beast that needs to absorb certain emotional energy related to itself from others to enhance its power,” Qiao Sang said directly, without mincing words. “I’ve heard that Xiao Yulai can sense and absorb the emotions of all the residents of Xiao Kingdom, which affects its own emotions. I want to know if this ability to sense emotional energy over a wide range is innate or can be achieved through training.”
“Xunxun~”
Little Xunbao called out calmly from the side, indicating that it was the pet beast.
The old woman glanced at it and said calmly,
“Even so, you can’t just come in without permission.”
“Xunxun~”
Little Xunbao pointed calmly to its beast tamer and called out, indicating that its beast tamer had let it in.
Qiao Sang: “…”
“I’m sorry,” Qiao Sang said, “But Xiao Yulai is clearly inside, yet you keep saying she’s not. I can’t do anything.”
Actually, there were ways, such as knocking out the old lady and barging in, or taking the old lady hostage to force Xiao Yulai to come out, but those methods were too drastic, so she didn’t do them.
“Xiao Yu.”
Xiao Yulai called out calmly, indicating that it was because it didn’t want others to know it was here.
After saying that, it showed an annoyed expression, feeling that it had said too much, but under the influence of the healing sound waves, its expression quickly returned to calm.
“Xun Xun?”
Little Xun Bao called out calmly, indicating why it didn’t want others to know it was here.
It talked too much, little Xun Bao. In this situation, it should take advantage of the healing sound waves while they are still working, quickly understand the questions it wants to understand, and then leave. How come you’re still so curious even though you’ve been affected by the healing sound waves? Qiao Sang thought to herself, but didn’t stop it.
Whether it was because she had become an S-rank Beastmaster or because of the feedback from Lu Bao, the effects of the healing sound waves on her were now negligible.
She could think calmly: if Little Treasure Hunt had too many problems and the effects of the healing sound waves wore off, she could simply have Lu Bao cast them again.
As the thought flashed through her mind, Xiao Yu Lai Shi opened its mouth, about to answer, but just as it opened its mouth, its expression became conflicted, as if resisting the effects of the healing sound waves.
Seeing this, Qiao Sang quickly gave Lu Bao a look.
Lu Bao understood and opened its mouth again: “Bing Bing~ Bing Bing~ Bing~ Bing Bing Bing Bing~”
An invisible sound wave rippled out.
The conflicted expression on Xiao Yu Lai Shi’s face gradually disappeared, turning peaceful.
But just then, it seemed to sense something, its brain instantly eliminating the effects of the healing sound waves, its peaceful expression quickly turning into anger, and it shouted:
“Xiao Yu!”
Immediately afterward, its eyes glowed blue.
Just as it was about to unleash its energy, it suddenly glanced at the old woman beside it, whose expression remained calm. The energy shifted, as if it wanted to take Qiao Sang and Ya Bao with it and disappear from the house.
Meanwhile,
on a street bursting with vibrant colors, Penjami, carrying the frozen Michaela on her back, looked up at the sky, which quickly turned cloudy, then cleared, and then immediately became cloudy again.
The Object-Knowing Monster, whose eyes were glowing blue and which had been pretending to recognize people and pets around them, dispelled the blue light in its eyes, also glanced at the sky, and called out,
“Identity.” “
I feel like it’s about to rain, maybe we should go back. “
“Penjami, “
Penjami called calmly, indicating that there was no need to be afraid.
Then, its eyes glowed blue again.
The next second, a transparent barrier enveloped it, Michaela, and the Object-Knowing Monster.
Object-Knowing Monster: “…”
“Penjami,”
Penjami called, indicating that they should continue searching.
As they spoke, the rain began to fall softly.
“Shishi.”
The creature, expressionless, called out, its eyes flashing blue again as it looked around at the people and pets frantically seeking shelter from the rain.
In a bungalow in the suburbs,
the blue light in Xiaoyu Laishi’s eyes vanished, replaced by a look of surprise and uncertainty. She looked at the human before her and called out,
“Xiaoyu?
What have you done? “
It seems Xiao Yulai tried to teleport out, but failed. Thinking this, Qiao Sang thought it was fortunate that Xiao Xunbao had been on the same wavelength as her, casting a spatial blockade as soon as it confirmed Xiao Yulai was inside, preventing a repeat of the previous situation.
Although Xiao Yulai was a level higher than Xiao Xunbao, its movement skills were countered by spatial skills, meaning it could only force its way out, not simply teleport out due to its higher level.
It didn’t attack immediately, probably out of consideration for the old woman. Its
first action after failing to teleport was to ask, rather than attack or break the barrier, as if it genuinely didn’t know why it couldn’t teleport. It probably wasn’t a pet that frequently battled. Qiao Sang quickly analyzed the situation and felt inexplicably relieved. She honestly replied,
“Because a spatial blockade was cast outside.”
“Xunxun~”
Xiao Xunbao nodded calmly, indicating that it was indeed Xiao Yulai who cast it.
Xiao Yulai suddenly looked at Xiao Xunbao, opened its mouth, and a stream of blue water containing terrifying energy instantly shot out.
Just as it was about to strike, Little Treasure Hunter vanished with a calm expression.
The terrifying torrent of water missed its target and rushed towards the house wall.
Seeing this, Xiao Yulai’s expression changed slightly.
At this moment, Qiao Sang spoke, “Freeze.”
A powerful icy aura rapidly spread from Lu Bao’s body, like a breath from the depths of hell, quickly freezing everything in the room.
However, this terrifying icy aura seemed to have a mind of its own, sparing all the creatures in the room, freezing only the others, including the terrifying stream of water that was about to hit the wall.
The terrifying stream of water instantly solidified into a thick ice shell, turning into an ice pillar and stopping.
Then, with a “crack,” it shattered, turning into ice crystals scattered all over the ground.
Xiao Yulai first breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Lu Bao with suspicion.
Ya Bao and the others woke up from the extreme cold.
“Xun Xun!”
Little Xun Bao remembered that it had almost been attacked, was startled, and quickly teleported to Lu Bao’s side.
“It’s so cold.”
The old lady squatted down, hugging her knees and curling up.
“Xiao Yu!”
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yulai’s expression became tense, and he teleported over to hug the old lady.
“Ya Bao! Lu Bao!” Qiao Sang looked over and called out quickly.
She’d almost forgotten that the old lady was just an ordinary person; even Lu Bao’s casually released icy aura couldn’t withstand it.
“Ya Ya!”
Ya Bao instantly understood its beast tamer’s meaning, calling out and releasing a slight amount of energy from its body.
The temperature in the air suddenly warmed, and the frost in the room melted away at a visible speed.
At the same time, without a word, Lu Bao’s forehead gem emitted an icy blue light, shining on the old lady.
Xiao Yulai instinctively showed anger, but quickly sensed something, looked down at the old woman’s relaxed expression, and called out in surprise,
“Xiao Yu!”
The old woman slowly opened her eyes, her expression a mixture of surprise and worry when she saw Xiao Yulai, and smiled gently, saying,
“I’m fine.”
She then stood up, looking at the girl who looked old enough to be her granddaughter with a complicated expression, and asked,
“Who exactly are you?”
Qiao Sang replied, “My name is Qiao Sang. I introduced myself last time; I’m a professional beast tamer.”
She added helplessly, “I really just came to ask that question.”
The old woman was silent for two seconds, then turned to Xiao Yulai and said,
“Xiao, tell her.”
Although she wasn’t a beast tamer herself, she could tell that the seemingly young beast tamer was no ordinary person; perhaps even Xiao wasn’t her match.
Indeed, if the other party feared Xiao’s strength, why would she appear so abruptly before her in this way?
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu Lai Shi, though somewhat reluctant, could tell that the other party’s strength was extraordinary. If it were alone, it certainly wouldn’t have compromised, but remembering that the old lady was still there, it reluctantly called out,
“Xiao Yu.”
This was its own power, innate, and couldn’t be learned.
“Xun Xun,” Xiao Xun Bao said with a disappointed expression.
Innate. Qiao Sang was slightly disappointed and said, “I understand.”
Hearing this, Xiao Yu Lai Shi suddenly thought of something, and looked surprised, calling out,
“Xiao Yu?”
You can understand what I’m saying?
Qiao Sang nodded slightly and said, “Yes, I have a pet beast whose entire evolution chain relies on the power of bonds, so I can understand the language of pet beasts through this power.”
After a pause, she continued, “I’m sorry to know the answer I want in this way. The healing spell I just cast was the Light of Healing. I think all of Grandma’s illnesses have disappeared. Consider this my compensation.” Upon hearing this,
the old lady’s expression froze, and the first thought that came to her mind was: What? You called me Grandma? “You, a beast tamer with so many pets, stronger than Ah Xiao, and whose actual age is unknown, actually call me grandma?”
A second thought immediately followed: What is Healing Light? Is it that powerful?
Xiao Yu Lai Shi was first taken aback, then quickly looked at the old woman and called out,
“Xiao Yu?”
Does this skill work on you?
Although it was an Emperor-level pet, it had stayed in the Xiao Kingdom for a long time and hadn’t interacted with any beast tamers or pets possessing Healing Light, so it didn’t know about this skill.
The old woman collected her thoughts, looked at it, her expression somewhat sad, but quickly composed herself, revealing a smile, and said,
“I feel much lighter.”
“Xiao Yu!”
Xiao Yu Lai Shi’s expression suddenly turned to surprise and delight.
“Then I’ll be going now,” Qiao Sang said.
After speaking, she looked at Little Xun Bao.
“Xun Xun~”
Little Xun Bao called out, its eyes glowing blue.
“Wait!” the old woman called out.
The blue light in Little Xun Bao’s eyes faded.
Qiao Sang looked at her and asked, “Is something the matter?”
The old woman hesitated for a moment, then her eyes hardened, and she said,
“You’re definitely not from our Xiao Kingdom. When you leave Xiao Kingdom, could you take Xiao Yu Lai Shi with you?”
Qiao Sang: “???”
Xiao Yu Lai Shi looked shocked; it seemed it hadn’t expected the old woman to say such a thing.
“Why?” Qiao Sang reacted and couldn’t help but ask, “Isn’t Xiao Yu Lai Shi the guardian beast of Xiao Kingdom? Besides, if it wanted to leave, it could leave on its own.”
“Xiao Yu!”
Xiao Yu Lai Shi quickly called out.
It didn’t want to leave Xiao Kingdom! It still wanted to protect this place!
The old woman looked at it sadly and said, “But your body is getting weaker and weaker.”
“Xiao Yu!”
Xiao Yu Lai Shi called out earnestly, indicating that it was alright; it had promised its beast tamer that it would always protect this country!
“Wait, wait, wait!” Qiao Sang interrupted, “You can understand what Xiao Yulai is saying?”
The old woman replied gently,
“Although I am not its beast tamer, I grew up with Xiao Yulai, so I can understand its language.”
The old woman, Qiao Sang, asked again, “Xiao Yulai is getting weaker and weaker. What does that have to do with leaving Xiao Kingdom?”
“Xunxun?”
Little Xunbao chimed in, equally curious, indicating that it had nothing to do with it.
The old woman was silent for two seconds, then said in a deep voice,
“The more negative emotions Xiao Yulai senses, the more negative emotions it will have, and the worse its body will become. The people and pets in Xiao Kingdom are all suppressing their emotions. In the past six months, every time Xiao Yulai brings rain, it’s filled with negative energy. If it stays like this, its body will deteriorate further. It’s already considered an elderly pet.”
Qiao Sang looked at Xiao Yulai beside her, about to speak.
Suddenly, Xia Bao called out sweetly,
“Xia Xia.”
But the rain falling now had no negative energy; all the plants seemed happy. (End of Chapter)
