Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 1062: I just want to make a contract with Little Thunder Dragon

“Qingbao!”

Qingbao’s expression changed drastically, his breath hitched, and a sudden Typhoon slammed the door shut.

Then he quickly floated to the corner furthest from the door, taking deep breaths of fresh air, as if he had just endured a smell that no ordinary person could tolerate.

Qingbao’s demands for air are truly getting higher and higher… Qiao Sang silently covered her face at the sight.

“Ding-dong~”

At this moment, the doorbell rang again.

Qiao Sang got up and walked towards the door.

Qingbao’s expression changed, and he disappeared with Wind Transformation.

Qiao Sang opened the door, and immediately, an unpleasant smell, like rotting flowers, assailed her nostrils.

She had once encountered an astonishing stench in the 88th Secret Realm, the same Secret Realm where Luba purified sewage, so her tolerance for bad smells was now extremely high.

Although the scent on Meimei was indeed unpleasant, to Qiao Sang, who had smelled an astonishing stench before, it was merely a little unpleasant.

Qiao Sang’s expression remained unchanged as she said apologetically:

“I’m sorry, a gust of wind just closed the door. Is there something you need?”

“Meimei…”

Meimei stared blankly at the human in front of her.

Her expression was calm, unlike others who, even if they smiled on the surface, still couldn’t hide a hint of disdain in their eyes.

“Meimei.”

Meimei steadied herself and smiled as she handed over the bouquet.

“For me?” Qiao Sang pointed to herself, surprised.

“Meimei.”

Meimei nodded.

Qiao Sang smiled as she accepted it, saying:

“Thank you.”

“Meimei.” Meimei smiled and called out, then turned to leave.

“Wait a moment.” Qiao Sang called out.

Meimei’s body stiffened, and the two leaves on her head instinctively straightened.

Could it be that this human discovered…

Qiao Sang turned and walked into the kitchen, then brought out a few Tree Fruits, handed them to Meimei, and said gently:

“These are Everlasting Fruits. Eating them can increase some energy. You can take them back and try them.”

“Meimei…”

Meimei stared blankly at the human holding the Tree Fruits.

Seeing that it hadn’t taken them, Qiao Sang asked:

“Don’t you like them?”

“Meimei!”

Meimei quickly shook her head, took the Tree Fruits, bowed, and then turned and ran off.

Returning to the villa, Meimei found a clean plate to place the Tree Fruits, then went to the room filled with photos.

It turned on the light and stared at one particular photo.

Black hair, black eyes, a high ponytail, and slightly upturned phoenix eyes—it was Qiao Sang.

“Meimei…”

Meimei stared at the photo for two seconds, as if having made a decision. The two leaves on her head suddenly transformed into two Vine Whips, tearing down all the other photos on the wall one by one.

Soon, only Qiao Sang’s photo remained on the room’s wall.

Villa.

Qiao Sang casually placed the flowers into a vase.

A slightly irritable gust of wind blew through, sweeping the bouquet inside and blowing it out the window, casually discarding it onto the open ground.

“Xiaoting…”

Xiaoting Dragon circulated its energy, and yellow electric arcs continuously appeared on its body.

Suddenly, it smelled an unpleasant odor.

Xiaoting Dragon frowned, stopped training, sniffed with its nose, and crawled along the scent to the side of the bouquet.

It lowered its head and sniffed closer.

After confirming that the smell was coming from this bouquet, Xiaoting Dragon raised its tail, condensed a silver-white light, and swung it forcefully.

The flowers were instantly flung high into the sky, turning into specks of starlight, and disappeared without a trace.

“Qingbao~”

Qingbao appeared beside Xiaoting Dragon, gave a thumbs-up, and called out.

Well done.

Xiaoting Dragon glanced at it, did not respond, turned its head, crawled to the other side, and continued to release its lightning power.

Qingbao: “…”

Living room.

Mi Jiala sat on the sofa and suddenly blurted out:

“This Meimei probably has a crush on you.”

Qiao Sang: “???”

Mi Jiala continued: “It’s wearing a black miniature shrinking bracelet and lives in a villa in this area. It has also come specially to give you flowers for two consecutive days. It probably wants you to be its Yu Beast Master.”

“No way.” Qiao Sang disagreed: “Maybe it just wants to have good neighborly relations.”

“Do you know why Pets can get a loan to buy a house?” Mi Jiala asked.

This topic changed too quickly… Qiao Sang shook her head and said:

“I don’t know.”

“Banks assess based on the Pet’s species and talent.” Mi Jiala said: “As long as a Pet has talent and can evolve, it can easily live to an age that ordinary people cannot. And talented Pets don’t have to worry about not finding someone to contract with, so many Pets nowadays buy houses with loans.”

“Do Pets who buy houses necessarily look for someone to contract with?” Qiao Sang asked.

Mi Jiala pondered for a moment and said: “Most wild Pets are indeed like this. After buying a house, wild Pets either earn money to repay the loan themselves, or if they can’t, they apply to the bank and can repay by completing some work for the bank each month.”

“But some of the work released by the bank each month is not simple, and wild Pets can’t endure it in the long run, so they will want to find a Yu Beast Master.”

“Meimei bought a house in this area, so the mortgage won’t be low. It probably really wants to find a Yu Beast Master for itself now.”

She paused, then smiled: “Meimei is looking for a Yu Beast Master, and the first people it considers are those in this villa area. It has given you flowers for two consecutive days, isn’t its intention obvious?”

Not obvious at all, I can’t see it. Isn’t this just a simple friendly neighborly relationship… Qiao Sang felt that Teacher Mi Jiala was thinking a bit too much, but she didn’t voice this, instead saying:

“It’s not a big deal. Once it knows I don’t have a contract slot, it should give up.”

Then she thought of something and guessed:

“You said banks assess based on the Pet’s species and talent. So, if Meimei can get a loan to buy a house here, is its talent very high?”

Mi Jiala glanced at her: “What, are you tempted?”

“How could I be.” Qiao Sang quickly said: “I already have Xiaoting Dragon. How could I possibly fancy another Pet?”

“Don’t speak too soon.” Mi Jiala glanced at Xiaoting Dragon, who was training outside the French window, and said in a deep voice: “I’ll repeat what I said before: you are participating in the Interstellar Cup, and every contract slot is crucial. Xiaoting Dragon is good, but it’s not pure-blooded. It’s not impossible for you to encounter a better Pet than Xiaoting Dragon, especially in a place like Yan Tian Star.”

“The Pets here have a high degree of self-selection. Pets with high racial limits have higher status and higher self-selection. If they knew you became a B-level Beast Tamer at the age of 17, I believe many wild Pets would go crazy for you and want to contract with you.”

Hearing this, Qiao Sang remained unshaken and said seriously:

“I only want to contract with Xiaoting Dragon.”

Xiaoting Dragon was hatched from an egg under her care. If she had even a slight thought of not contracting with it, she wouldn’t have brought it to Yan Tian Star with her.

Wild Pets on Yan Tian Star looking for Yu Beast Masters feel too much like a transaction and a partnership, which she doesn’t like.
