Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 1015: Chitia Region
Zhongkong District, Tian’an City.
Tianwang Hotel.
The morning sun shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Qiao Sang stood in front of the windows, looking at the media below who were constantly circling high in the sky on their Flying-type Pet Beasts, feeling a little numb.
There were so many media outlets that if one didn’t know better, they might think some earth-shattering news had broken out at this hotel…
Fortunately, the Tianwang Hotel had high privacy; one could see out from inside, but not in from outside.
Ye Xiangting, while packing her luggage on the side, instructed, “When you go to Zhiya District, listen to your teacher carefully. If you encounter any troublesome Ghost-type Pet, let Xiao Xunbao come out and communicate more.”
Although she had never been to Zhiya District, she knew that 99% of the supernatural incidents there originated from Ghost-type Pets.
Xiao Xunbao was a Ghost-type Pet, so it would be easier for it to communicate with other Ghost-type Pets.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiangting continued to instruct:
“It’s best if Xiao Xunbao doesn’t stay invisible and stays out all the time.”
“Xun!”
Xiao Xunbao, knowing that it had a difficult mission in the upcoming district, couldn’t help but pat its chest and firmly called out, indicating that it would definitely protect its Yu Beast Master well!
Qiao Sang said helplessly:
“Mom, I’m already a B-level Beast Tamer, and it’s fine even if Xiao Xunbao is invisible; other Ghost-type Pets can see it.”
Ye Xiangting chuckled, “I almost forgot you’re already a B-level Beast Tamer.”
“Really? I don’t believe it. This morning, you even forwarded news with the title ‘The Youngest Regional Competition Champion in History, Qiao Sang’ to your Moments…” Qiao Sang couldn’t help but inwardly complain.
“Oh, right, I just went downstairs and bought some snacks for the Pets. They’re in the box. You can take them out for Ya Bao and the others to eat on the way.” Ye Xiangting said, closing the box.
“Qing Qing~”
Just as she was about to zip it up, Qing Bao’s voice sounded beside her.
Ye Xiangting turned her head and saw Qing Bao looking at her with eyes as pure as the blue sky. Her heart instantly melted, and she asked,
“What is Qing Bao saying?”
“It says it wants to eat now.” Qiao Sang translated.
Ye Xiangting immediately opened the box again: “Take whatever you want to eat.”
“Qing Qing~”
Qing Bao took a bag of candy, smiled sweetly, and then turned to leave.
Ye Xiangting instantly forgot about continuing her instructions, immersed in Qing Bao’s smile.
After about a few seconds, she continued to organize her things.
Soon, everything was organized.
Xiao Xunbao took off its ring, enlarged it, and skillfully put the luggage into the ring.
Ye Xiangting’s gaze fell on the Pet egg on the coffee table not far away and asked,
“What about this Pet egg? Is it just going to stay outside?”
Qiao Sang followed her mother’s gaze and hummed, “Pet eggs are not suitable to be placed in Xiao Xunbao’s ring. If they are put in, we won’t know when the Pet will hatch.”
“Nothing will happen, right?” Ye Xiangting couldn’t help but worry.
She now also runs a Pet breeding shop and clearly knows that some Pet eggs are very fragile. If not handled well, it could lead to abnormal development at best, or stillbirth at worst.
“It’s fine.” Qiao Sang said, “Teacher Mi Jiala said that this device on the outside of the Pet egg is the best egg protection equipment with current technology. It can provide nutrition and also prevent falls and shocks. As long as the Pet egg stays inside, nothing will happen.”
“That’s good…” Ye Xiangting relaxed, then she thought of something and worried again: “It won’t be stolen, will it?”
She remembered Liu Yao saying yesterday that this was a Dragon-type Pet egg called Xiaoting Dragon.
Although she hadn’t heard of it, she knew that a Dragon-type Pet egg was incredibly valuable.
She checked, and there was little related information online.
It was a pity that Liu Yao was urgently called back by a phone call yesterday after her daughter won the championship. They said that funds had been approved from above, asking him to return and expedite research on the evolution of Yan Ling Dog, otherwise she could have asked more details about the Xiaoting Dragon Pet egg.
“No.” Qiao Sang said with a smile, “Even if others aren’t afraid of me, isn’t Teacher Mi Jiala still here?”
To be honest, even if she was a B-level Beast Tamer now, she wouldn’t dare to constantly wander around with a Dragon egg that had both Dragon-type and Electric-type attributes.
However, with an S-Class Beast Master accompanying her, let alone one Dragon-type Pet egg, she believed that even ten would be fine.
Just as Ye Xiangting was about to say something else, Mi Jiala suddenly appeared out of thin air in the room and asked,
“Are your things ready?”
“Yes.” Qiao Sang nodded.
“Alright, let’s go.” Mi Jiala said.
Qiao Sang put on her backpack containing Lu Bao and picked up Ya Bao.
“Xun Xun~” Xiao Xunbao came to the coffee table and picked up the device containing the Pet egg.
“Listen to your teacher carefully, and call me when you arrive in Zhiya District.” Ye Xiangting had known her daughter’s departure time for a long time, but her expression still showed reluctance.
“I will.” Qiao Sang thought of something and said, “Mom, it’s not easy to come to Zhongkong District, so you should have a good time shopping before going back.”
Ye Xiangting smiled:
“How can I have time to shop now? After you won the championship, my phone has been ringing off the hook. The prices of Fire Fang Dogs in other breeding shops and Pet bases have more than doubled, only my shop hasn’t increased prices. The shop is super busy now, and they are all urging me to go back. There are still many things to do. After this busy period, I will go out and have a good time shopping.”
Ya Bao, in its Yu Beast Master’s arms, its eyes suddenly lit up.
“Alright.” Qiao Sang conceded.
Although she now had enough money for her mother to spend a lifetime, she also knew that her mother would not give up her career just like that.
“Teacher, I’ll leave Qiao Sang in your care.” Ye Xiangting looked at Mi Jiala and earnestly entrusted her.
Mi Jiala nodded slightly: “Don’t worry, I’ve got everything covered.”
With that, she, Qiao Sang, and Ya Bao disappeared from the room.
Ye Xiangting looked at the empty room, feeling a strange sense of melancholy.
At the same time, various media outlets outside the Tianwang Hotel were still broadcasting:
“Qiao Sang, the champion of this Regional Competition, is currently staying at the Tianwang Hotel. From her arrival last night until now, she has not yet come out. We will continue to wait.”
“We are currently above the hotel where Qiao Sang is staying. We will strive to secure an interview with Qiao Sang.”
“It’s 8:43 AM now. I wonder if Qiao Sang is awake. She just went through a tough competition yesterday, so I believe she must have slept soundly last night.”
“The youngest Regional Competition champion in history is currently staying at the Tianwang Hotel behind me. I’m actually a bit worried right now. Everyone knows that she has a Ghost Ring King that can use Space Movement. I wonder if Qiao Sang has already left the Tianwang Hotel.”
…
An hour later.
On the plane to Zhiya District.
First class.
Qiao Sang, wearing sunglasses and a hat, looked at the Pet egg with purple patterns placed in front of her.
Mi Jiala, beside her, glanced at it and said,
“You’ve been staring at it for half an hour. Even if you keep staring, it’s not going to hatch immediately.”
Qiao Sang sighed with emotion:
“I didn’t expect the prize for the Regional Competition to be a Xiaoting Dragon egg.”
Xiaoting Dragon, a Dragon-type and Electric-type dual-attribute Pet, can store external electrical energy absorbed into its body and use it as its own electrical energy. Its racial limit can reach Emperor-level, and its value is immeasurable.
If it weren’t for the Vice Principal, who was both a researcher and a Trainer, confirming it personally, she wouldn’t have believed that the official Regional Competition was so generous.
Mi Jiala said calmly:
“Some races like to find strong individuals. You and that contestant named Yuan Tianlong are both good. No matter who this egg is given to, the Pet behind it won’t have any objections.”
Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: “Are you saying that the official Regional Competition has an ancestor of Xiaoting Dragon behind it?”
Ancestor? Mi Jiala was also stunned for a moment, then said:
“It’s not behind the official Regional Competition, but behind a certain figure in the official organization, there must be an agreement with the ancestor of this race, for example, helping to find talented Yu Beast Masters.”
After a pause, she added:
“This model is like the cooperative relationship between Yan Tian Star and Pets.”
Qiao Sang showed an “I see” expression.
To be honest, she was now a bit suspicious if Yuan Tianlong had received inside information and knew that the championship prize included a Xiaoting Dragon egg, which was why he participated in the competition.
Mi Jiala glanced at the Pet egg inside the protective device and said,
“Don’t forget your goal. Xiaoting Dragon is very good, but your goal is the Interstellar Cup. The racial limit of Xiaoting Dragon can reach Emperor-level, but that doesn’t mean the Xiaoting Dragon in this Pet egg can reach Emperor-level. If this Xiaoting Dragon is not purebred, I think you’d best not consider it.”
In her opinion, with Qiao Sang’s talent and ability, it was not impossible to contract better Pets. With the Interstellar Cup as the goal, all aspects of the contracted Pet needed to be considered, and whether it was purebred was one of them.
Qiao Sang looked at the Pet egg in front of her and said, “I know, but I choose Pets based on fate. If it’s not suitable for me, I will find a suitable Yu Beast Master for it.”
At the B-level Beast Tamer stage, even carrying uncontracted Pets was allowed by the government and the Beast Tamer Alliance.

Upon hearing this, Mi Jiala said no more. After spending this time together, she had great confidence in Qiao Sang’s decisions and judgment.
Even without her helping to collect information or providing much guidance, Qiao Sang still won the Regional Competition based on her own abilities, which actually exceeded her original expectations.
At this moment, Qiao Sang thought of something and asked,
“Oh, when will Teacher Fulaoda arrive?”
Mi Jiala said:
“I told him to go directly to Zhiya District to find us. Originally, I wanted him to come to Zhongkong District.”
After a pause, she smiled:
“There are too many people paying attention to you there now, so it’s better to leave early.”
Qiao Sang recalled the scene she saw outside the window this morning and deeply agreed.
…
8:30 PM.
Zhiya District.
You City.
Qiao Sang, wearing a hat and holding Ya Bao, came out of the airport. Looking around, she saw many Ghost-type Pets she had never seen before, almost to the point of one per person.
Many people’s gazes gathered, their eyes flickering with uncertainty.
“Xun Xun…”
At this moment, Xiao Xunbao appeared holding the Pet egg, staring blankly at its surroundings.
There are so many Ghost-type companions here…
Suddenly, someone excitedly shouted:
“It’s really Qiao Sang! She has a different-colored Ghost Ring King!”
The surrounding people instantly had burning gazes, excited and agitated expressions, craning their necks to look at the girl in the hat and sunglasses next to the Ghost Ring King.
Longguo has a total of 13 districts, and each district hosts a Regional Competition every year.
To be honest, unless they frequently travel to other districts for activities, or are famous and later participate in higher-level professional Yu Beast Master competitions, people generally only remember the champion of their own district’s Regional Competition.
But Qiao Sang was different; she was truly unique.
At just 17 years old, she cultivated a Pet with a new evolution chain, possessed endangered Pets, different-colored Pets, alien Pets, and even legendary Pets. Furthermore, many of her Pets could use Ultra-level skills, and she even defeated Yuan Tianlong, who had won the Regional Competition twice.
Such a figure was hard to forget for anyone who had seen related news.
They weren’t sure at first, but the moment they saw the Ghost Ring King, they knew that the person in front of them was Qiao Sang!
For a moment, the airport exit was in an uproar.
“Xun Xun?”
Is it because they saw it that they recognized its Yu Beast Master? Xiao Xunbao noticed the blind spot, and its spirits lifted. It straightened its posture.
Seeing more and more people gathering, Mi Jiala spoke up:
“Let’s go first.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the two disappeared from their original spot.
On the roadside a thousand meters away.
Qiao Sang, holding Ya Bao, and Mi Jiala appeared out of thin air.
“Li Li!”
An Old Lady slowly walking with a cane was startled, cried out, threw down her cane, and transformed into a Ghost-type Pet only about thirty centimeters in size, disappearing invisibly.
This scene left Qiao Sang and Ya Bao stunned.
Suddenly, that Pet reappeared, picked up the cane, and then quickly disappeared invisibly again.
Qiao Sang: “…”
Ya Bao: “…”
Mi Jiala smiled: “The Ghost-type Pets here are quite interesting.”
“Xun Xun~”
Xiao Xunbao, holding the Pet egg, called out with a face full of emotion, indicating that it liked it here.
Qiao Sang glanced at it and said,
“You just got here and you already like it?”
“Xun Xun~”
Xiao Xunbao nodded seriously.
“Do you have a place you want to go here?” Mi Jiala returned to the main topic and asked.
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said,
“You City. I heard there are many items related to Ghost-type Pets there. The item for Xiao Xunbao’s next stage of evolution is now only the mingzhu flower, and I want to see if they have it.”
You City is not a city, but the name of a market, located within Youzhou.
“Xun!”
Xiao Xunbao’s eyes lit up when it heard about its evolution item. It called out, asking if they were going now.
Qiao Sang smiled and nodded at Xiao Xunbao.
“Xun!”
“Xun!”
Xiao Xunbao became even more excited, floating around with the Pet egg.
They’re going to buy the evolution item, not that it can evolve immediately after buying it… Qiao Sang felt a bit helpless and amused seeing Xiao Xunbao’s appearance.
Mi Jiala pondered for a moment and said,
“I’ve heard of it. It’s said to be the largest market for Ghost-type Pets in Zhiya District. How about we go now? Many Ghost-type items can only be seen clearly at night.”
“Okay.” Qiao Sang nodded.
She had the same intention.
Thanks again to Boss Facai Gu for the Alliance Leader reward!
No holiday for New Year’s Eve, see you next year!
