Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1572
Chapter 1572. Chapter 1566 My Own Emotions (Two Chapters Combined)
Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang paused, looking out the window.
“What’s wrong?” The old woman, unable to understand Xia Bao’s words or her reaction, asked.
“My pet says the rain outside doesn’t have negative energy, and all the plants are happy,” Qiao Sang said, glancing at Xiao Yulai with a complicated expression.
Xia Bao could sense the emotions of nature. Even though it hadn’t gone out to feel the rain, it could immediately sense whether the plants were happy or unhappy. She never doubted Xia Bao’s judgment.
If the plants were happy, then the rain wasn’t just devoid of negative energy, but perhaps even filled with joyful energy.
She knew that all the rain lately had been filled with negative energy, and she had assumed that the people and pets in this country were suppressing their emotions, and that Xiao Yulai was absorbing mostly negative emotions.
She had just suddenly barged in, making Xiao Yulai so angry, and yet the rain it brought was actually full of positive energy—it
was truly amazing.
The old woman’s expression froze, and she looked at Xia Bao, then at Xiao Yulai with a questioning gaze.
Xiao Yulai looked back at her.
“This rain wasn’t caused by you?” the old woman asked, confirming.
Yes, the rain wasn’t necessarily caused by Xiao Yulai. If it fell naturally, without any negative energy, the plants would surely be happy, Qiao Sang thought.
“Xiao Yu.”
With a flicker of thought, Xiao Yulai nodded.
The old woman was still somewhat skeptical. She walked to the window, opened it, and stretched out her hand.
Rain fell on her hand.
Like sweet dew descending upon her heart, the old woman’s brow relaxed, revealing a joyful expression.
“Xunxun~”
Little Xunbao, seeing this, teleported to the old woman’s side, curiously extending its paw.
The next second, its expression also relaxed, revealing a joyful expression.
It really was rain caused by Xiao Yulai. Was the effect really that magical? Come to think of it, since arriving in the Laughing Kingdom, she had only experienced rain filled with negative energy, never rain filled with positive energy. Qiao Sang was eager to try it out by the window.
Just as she took a step forward, the old woman withdrew her hand, looking at Xiao Yulai with surprise and delight, saying,
“There really isn’t any negative energy!”
Then she looked at Qiao Sang, puzzled, “How did your pet know?”
Qiao Sang withdrew her foot again, saying,
“My pet can sense the emotions of plants.”
“Xiaxia,”
Xia Bao nodded.
So some pets have this ability; it’s amazing! The old woman looked at the grass-type pet she had never seen before, inwardly marveling at its ability. While surprised, she was also somewhat bewildered:
“How can this be? Xiao Yulai hasn’t absorbed any positive emotions for over half a year.”
“Xiao Yu,”
Xiao Yulai called out, indicating that it was currently absorbing positive emotions, and everyone was happy.
“Did the government issue some new policy?” the old woman asked, still confused.
“No, it’s because of this rain,” Qiao Sang said, looking at the fine rain outside and twitching her ears.
Now an S-rank Beast Tamer, and with the support of Ya Bao and the others, even in a remote suburb, she could easily hear conversations from over ten kilometers away if she concentrated.
A constant stream of voices reached her ears; everyone was surprised and excited, discussing the unexpected rain. It
seemed like they hadn’t felt the positive energy of rain in a long time, throwing away their umbrellas and running joyfully in the rain.
Even though she hadn’t witnessed it herself, she could clearly feel their excitement from the sounds.
“The rain is because Xiao Yulai felt happy,” the old woman said. “Everyone might be happy because of this rain, but something must have happened before that made them happy.”
Her tone became increasingly certain: “Yes, something must have happened.”
Then, as if remembering something, the old woman picked up the remote from the coffee table and quickly turned on the television.
The channel was broadcasting a related news report.
The news anchor’s tone was slightly excited:
“Just now, the rain, which was full of negative energy, suddenly transformed into a healing and purifying rain. This rain underwent an energy transformation during its descent, which is truly unprecedented. According to several employees who were frustrated by working overtime at their companies, after experiencing this rain, their frustration was purified, and they suddenly felt that working overtime was okay, and even wanted to work a few more hours.” “
Feeling that working overtime is okay? Is this an interview conducted by the boss?” Qiao Sang couldn’t help but think to herself.
The host continued broadcasting:
“And patients who were originally on their way to the hospital were all cured after being soaked in the rain.”
“According to data from the City Emotion Monitoring Center, within two minutes of the rain starting, the national irritability and anxiety index rose, and the falling rain was filled with negative energy. However, two minutes later, the rain strangely underwent an energy shift. After people discovered this, the national anxiety index dropped by 78%, and the happiness index rose by 91%.” “
Pet meteorologists explained that this was a rare rain event where emotional energy shifted during the rain’s fall, and it may not be able to be replicated again. It’s likely that the guardian beast Xiao Yulai’s emotions underwent an extreme shift during the rain’s fall.”
The old woman turned to Xiao Yulai and asked,
“Is that so?”
“Xiao Yulai,”
Xiao Yulai shook its head, indicating it didn’t know.
To be honest, it didn’t quite understand either. In its understanding, rain fell uncontrollably after it sensed the emotions of the people of Xiao Kingdom, and all humans had told it the same thing. It didn’t feel that it had sensed the people of Xiao Kingdom’s happiness during the rain’s fall before.
If it had, it was only now.
The old woman’s expression became even more confused.
The government hadn’t issued any new policies, so what could have caused such a sudden shift in the emotions Xiao Yulaishi sensed?
Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and said,
“Perhaps the energy of the rain has changed. It’s not because the people of Xiao Kingdom have changed their emotions, but because of Xiao Yulaishi himself.”
Upon hearing this, both the old woman and Xiao Yulaishi looked over.
Despite one having gray hair and the other being an Emperor-level pet beast, they now looked like two clueless children, their eyes filled with curiosity.
Qiao Sang calmly stated her conjecture: “I don’t know if anything happened to cause an emotional shift in the people of Xiao Kingdom, but Xiao Yu Lai Shi’s own emotions just now underwent a noticeable change.”
She looked at the old woman and said,
“When I said before that the Healing Light could cure all your ailments, Xiao Yu Lai Shi was very excited; I could feel it.”
The old woman’s expression froze.
“Xiao Yu.”
Xiao Yu Lai Shi recalled for a moment and nodded.
It had indeed been very excited at the time.
Qiao Sang continued, “I think perhaps the type of rain that falls depends mainly on Xiao Yu Lai Shi’s own emotions. The emotions it senses also influence its own emotions, which is why rain of corresponding energy falls.”
The old woman and Xiao Yulai were both stunned.
After a few seconds, the old woman cautiously asked,
“May I ask what level of beast tamer you are?”
She used a respectful title.
Qiao Sang didn’t hide anything and said, “S-rank.”
Xiao Yulai’s eyes widened suddenly.
S-rank, actually S-rank! The old woman’s face was filled with shock, but then she reacted and suddenly realized,
“So that’s how it is! So it mainly depends on A-Xiao’s own emotions!”
After knowing that the beast tamer in front of her, who looked like a young girl but whose actual age was unknown, was S-rank, she no longer doubted the other party’s opinion.
This was an S-rank beast tamer!
How could she be wrong!
“This is just my speculation,” Qiao Sang said carefully.
“Your speculation must be correct!” the old woman said firmly.
Qiao Sang’s heart stirred, and she asked, “Why do you believe me so much?”
“Because you are an S-rank beast tamer,” the old woman said.
Qiao Sang: “…”
You should know that I, an S-rank Beast Tamer, am still in school, so I probably wouldn’t say such things.
Qiao Sang recalled what the other party had said earlier and said earnestly,
“If you believe what I’m saying, then you don’t need to worry too much about the emotions of the people of Xiao Kingdom affecting Xiao Yu Lai Shi too much. As long as it can generate and maintain a happy mood, it can still fill Yu with positive energy.”
After a pause, she added,
“Its body won’t get worse or worse.”
“Xiao Yu!”
Xiao Yu Lai Shi listened and nodded seriously, barking to indicate that it would maintain a good mood.
“But…” The old lady wasn’t happy. Instead, she thought of something and sighed, “A Xiao doesn’t easily generate this kind of emotion. It’s only happy because all my ailments have disappeared. I’m already old. If I…”
She didn’t finish her sentence.
“Xiao Yu…”
Xiao Yu Lai Shi realized what she hadn’t finished saying and its mood dropped.
“I still hope you can take A Xiao away from Xiao Kingdom.” The old lady looked up at her and pleaded.
“I don’t understand.” Qiao Sang looked at her and said, “Xiao Yu Lai Shi itself wants to stay. It feels it has a responsibility in Xiao Kingdom, and it’s an Emperor-level pet. If it wants to leave, I think it wouldn’t need me at all.”
“Xiao Yu!”
Xiao Yu Lai Shi nodded solemnly.
Yes, it won’t leave.
The old woman showed a sad expression and finally spoke her mind:
“I’m already old. Xiao Yu was excited just now because of me, but if I leave, all the negative emotions in Xiao Kingdom will engulf it.”
“It’s the guardian beast of Xiao Kingdom. If a very powerful beast tamer doesn’t take it away, Xiao Kingdom won’t let it leave.”
Xiao Yu Lai Shi felt a little sad when it heard the first part of the sentence, but its expression became serious again when it heard the second part:
“Xiao Yu.”
I won’t leave, even if the negative emotions in Xiao Kingdom engulf me, I won’t leave.
Qiao Sang: “…”
Honestly, if you’ve been absorbing negative emotions for several years, and the rain is filled with negative energy, I think the people and pets of Xiao Kingdom would definitely want you to go out for a walk. Otherwise, their mood is already bad, and with your rain, it will definitely be even worse.
“Ah Xiao.” The old lady looked at Xiao Yu Lai Shi with some sadness.
Qiao Sang remembered hearing cheers from several kilometers, even tens of kilometers away, and coughed, saying:
“I think you don’t need to be too pessimistic. Bad emotions produce negative energy rain. When people feel negative energy rain, their mood will only get worse. But now, the rain is full of healing energy. You saw the news just now. I think Xiao Yu Lai Shi is feeling mostly pleasant emotions now.”
The old lady’s sadness faltered, and she looked at Xiao Yu Lai Shi with a “Is that really so?” look.
“Xiao Yu.”
Xiao Yu Lai Shi nodded and called out, indicating that it was indeed feeling pleasant emotions now.
The old lady’s expression was dazed.
Qiao Sang continued earnestly,
“I think the most important thing is to adjust your own emotions. Xiao Yulai values you highly, and it can sense emotional energy. Perhaps it’s because of your persistent pessimism that it’s been fundamentally affected.”
The old woman paused, recalling the emotions she felt half a year ago when she noticed her deteriorating health. It seemed that around that time, the rain in Xiao Kingdom, every now and then, was filled with negative energy and never improved.
So, it was all because Xiao Yulai sensed her emotions?
The old woman looked at Xiao Yulai, tears welling in her eyes, and said, “I understand.”
Then she wiped away her tears, looked at Qiao Sang, and said with a slightly choked yet firm voice,
“I will adjust my emotions properly.”
Xiao Yulai looked at the old woman, her eyes moist.
Xiao Yulai said it sensed and absorbed everyone’s emotional energy, but what kind of energy the rain contained depended on its own emotions. Was Xiao Xunbao absorbing emotional energy because it felt loved by everyone, which is why it successfully absorbed it? Qiao Sang’s thoughts wandered slightly, but she quickly regained her composure. Looking at the old woman and the Emperor-level pet with moist eyes, a thought stirred within her. She said,
“I believe that as long as you stay together, enjoy your time, and don’t dwell on things that haven’t happened, the rain in Xiao Kingdom won’t be filled with negative energy anymore.”
“I understand.”
“Xiao Yu!”
The old woman and Xiao Yulai nodded vigorously, then smiled at each other.
Xia Bao, seeing this scene, felt the flower bud on her neck sway involuntarily.
A fresh, natural scent wafted out.
“Then I’ll be going now,” Qiao Sang said with a smile. “I hope we’ll have a chance to meet again in the future.”
“Thank you for your guidance,” the old woman said gratefully.
“You’re welcome. I was just expressing my opinion,” Qiao Sang said, looking at Xiao Xunbao, “Let’s go.”
“Xun Xun~”
Xiao Xunbao cried out, its eyes glowing blue.
“Laugh it off!”
At this moment, Xiao Yu Lai Shi called out, indicating to wait.
The blue light in the little treasure hunter’s eyes faded.
Qiao Sang looked at it.
Before asking, Xiao Yu Lai Shi called out somewhat embarrassedly,
“Xiao Yu.”
Actually, it knew another way to absorb emotional energy over a large area. (End of Chapter)
