Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 1079: What a pity (two in one)

Chapter 1074: What a Pity. (Two-in-one)

The next morning, Qiao Sang got up and was a little surprised to see that Xiao Xunbao was not in bed.

One must know that usually at this time, Xiao Xunbao would not have woken up yet.

But she didn’t think much of it, simply washed up, and headed to the living room.

As soon as she stepped out of her room, she heard Xiao Xunbao and Qingyin Fairy excitedly chatting.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

“Qingyin Fairy.”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

“Qingyin Fairy!”

Qiao Sang arrived in the living room and saw Xiao Xunbao and Qingyin Fairy constantly changing clothes and admiring themselves in front of the full-length mirror.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao heard the movement, turned its head to see its Yu Beast Master, called out excitedly, then, sporting a colorful afro and wearing a beach-style shirt and shorts, it spun around once, looking over with eager anticipation.

Qiao Sang was silent for two seconds, then said:

“Not bad.”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao showed a happy expression, then turned to the mirror to continue admiring its outfit.

“Qingyin Fairy?”

Qingyin Fairy, standing nearby, called out to its Yu Beast Master, looking rather embarrassed.

Qiao Sang looked at it, wearing a beach straw hat and a light blue dress, her eyes lit up, and she sincerely praised:

“Beautiful!”

“Qingyin Fairy~”

Qingyin Fairy showed a shy expression and went to the full-length mirror to start looking at itself.

Qiao Sang went to the open kitchen, preparing breakfast while asking: “Why are you two dressed like this today?”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao, while admiring itself, called out, indicating that they were going out to play.

Going out to play? Qiao Sang stopped what she was doing and looked over.

Xiao Xunbao realized what it had said, and its body suddenly stiffened.

“Qingyin Fairy~”

At this moment, Qingyin Fairy looked over, sweetly called out, indicating that Xiao Xunbao meant that going to a new place felt like going to play.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao nodded repeatedly, indicating that the fifth one was right.

Qiao Sang looked at Xiao Xunbao and instructed: “This isn’t going out to play, you’re taking Qingyin Fairy to a contest.”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao nodded, indicating it understood.

Qiao Sang continued with her actions.

Qingyin Fairy gave Xiao Xunbao a look that said, “You almost got me into trouble.”

Xiao Xunbao showed an expression of shame.

Half an hour later, breakfast was ready, and Ya Bao and the others arrived in the living room one after another.

“Ya Bao!”

The moment Ya Bao saw Xiao Xunbao and Qingyin Fairy, its previously sleepy head instantly cleared, and it called out excitedly.

Lu Bao’s movements paused, then it continued as usual, only trying its best not to look in Xiao Xunbao’s direction.

Steel Treasure glanced indifferently, its expression unchanged, and went straight to the Energy Pill.

“Xiaoting Dragon…”

This was the first time Xiaoting Dragon had seen Xiao Xunbao and Qingyin Fairy dressed like this, and it froze on the spot.

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Xiao Xunbao was very satisfied with Xiaoting Dragon’s expression, floated over to its side, spun around once, and asked, “How’s this outfit?”

“Xiaoting Dragon.”

Xiaoting Dragon thought for a moment, then seriously called out, indicating that it wasn’t as good-looking as the previous shiny one.

Shiny one? Xiao Xunbao was stunned for a moment, then took off its ring, took out the armor it had taken off this morning to change clothes, and called out:

“Xiao Xunbao?”

You mean this?

“Xiaoting Dragon!”

Xiaoting Dragon’s pupils were filled with golden color, its eyes suddenly lit up, and it nodded.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

After listening, Xiao Xunbao took the golden armor and held it up to the full-length mirror, showing a conflicted expression.

“Stop looking, come eat quickly.” Qiao Sang said, sitting at the dining table: “Qingyin Fairy isn’t competing for just one day, you can change outfits every day.”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao’s eyes lit up, it no longer hesitated, put away the golden armor, and floated to the dining table to start eating Energy Pills.

Mi Jiala came downstairs and saw a colorful afroed head buried in food.

Her eyelid twitched, and she instantly knew who it was. She managed her facial expression, came to the dining table, and ate breakfast as if she hadn’t seen anything.

Qiao Sang suddenly thought of something and asked:

“Can Qingyin Fairy wear clothes on stage in the Strongest Advanced Pet Contest?”

Recently, she had watched several battle channels and noticed that some Pet Beasts in contests wore clothes on stage.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Before Mi Jiala could answer, Xiao Xunbao raised its head and called out, indicating that the contest rules didn’t mention it, but it had watched previous contests of this type, and no one wore clothes.

It even watched previous contests, it’s that meticulous… Qiao Sang glanced at Xiao Xunbao, a little surprised.

“Qingyin Fairy.”

Qingyin Fairy called out, indicating that it would take off its clothes before going on stage.

Qiao Sang felt relieved upon hearing this.

Since she wouldn’t be present, it was naturally better to clarify some things early. Most Pet Beasts on Yan Tian Star had a habit of dressing up, and some contests allowed it. However, even if the contest allowed it, it would be difficult for Qingyin Fairy to wear clothes during the contest, as it needed to use Wind Transformation, and if the clothes were to billow with the wind, it would easily expose its position.

Its Yu Beast Master is actually so meticulous… Steel Treasure looked at its Yu Beast Master with some surprise.

“Am I not usually meticulous?” Qiao Sang asked in her mind.

Steel Treasure’s body stiffened, it ate the Energy Pills, and tried its best to empty its mind.

It would sooner or later upgrade its Bond Power to a level where it could block thoughts…

“I wish I could too.” Qiao Sang sighed in her mind.

Steel Treasure: “…”

After breakfast, Qiao Sang, with Xiaoting Dragon hanging around her neck and a bag containing Lu Bao on her back, opened the door.

The moment the door opened, a familiar foul smell assailed her nostrils.

Why is Mei Chou Ni still sending flowers… Qiao Sang casually put the flowers inside the room and closed the door.

Mi Jiala took out her phone, looked at the time, and said: “We’ll go directly to Liusha Tower, and send Night Ring King and Qingyin Fairy there first.”

Liusha Tower, the landmark building of this city, where the Pet Beasts that can perform coordinate positioning and direct Space Movement to Hasman are located.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao raised its paw, indicating that it knew where that place was.

It had checked when it knew it was going to Hasman, and even specifically used Space Movement to go there once.

“Then let’s go now.” Qiao Sang said.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao’s eyes glowed blue.

The next second, Qiao Sang’s vision went dark, and when it returned to light, the scene before her had completely changed.

People and Pet Beasts came and went all around.

A huge funnel-shaped container in the center of the square spewed out sand, forming a huge vortex inside the glass container, which then flowed down through a small hole in the middle.

A cat-like Pet Beast, about one meter in size, mostly off-white, with a red circular gem in the middle of its forehead, and black wristbands and black miniature shrinking wristbands on its paws, hovered cross-legged above the huge vortex.

Many tourists were taking photos nearby.

Some other tourists swiped their ID cards or ID wristbands on the equipment nearby, then jumped into the container.

The moment they touched the flowing sand, white teleportation arrays lit up beneath them.

Immediately after, these people and Pet Beasts who jumped into the container, along with the teleportation arrays, disappeared.

Mi Jiala came to the side of the container, took out two silver-white coins, and threw them into the flowing sand.

Qiao Sang knew these were considered teleportation currency for coordinate positioning; going to Hasman cost ten thousand alliance coins for one coin.

Although the price was expensive, it was a teleportation between cities, after all. Many people chose to buy them to save time, and it was much cheaper than first-class airplane tickets, so many people and Pet Beasts chose to teleport directly.

“Let’s go.” Mi Jiala said.

“You must safely deliver Qingyin Fairy to the contest venue.” Qiao Sang instructed.

“Xiao Xunbao~” Xiao Xunbao nodded, took Qingyin Fairy to the detection equipment, and scanned its ID wristband on it.

Qingyin Fairy did the same.

Then, the two of them floated into the container.

Two white teleportation arrays lit up below.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

“Qingyin Fairy.”

Xiao Xunbao and Qingyin Fairy waved their paws and disappeared.

Qiao Sang subconsciously sensed, and when she realized she couldn’t sense them, her heart tightened, but then, she sensed Xiao Xunbao and Qingyin Fairy’s location again, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

“Let’s go, Xiaoting Dragon’s contest is about to start.” Mi Jiala said.

“Okay.” Qiao Sang nodded.

Pen Jiami appeared, its eyes glowing blue.

The next second, Qiao Sang, Mi Jiala, and Ya Bao disappeared from where they were.

At the same time.

Hasman.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao looked at the completely new surroundings, spread its arms, and shouted excitedly.

Hasman, I’m here!

After saying that, it looked at the shops nearby emitting various fragrances, its eyes lit up, and it floated over, following the scent…

“Qingyin Fairy.”

Qingyin Fairy was much more composed, not attracted by the completely new surroundings, and quickly floated in front of Xiao Xunbao, calling out, indicating that it should be sent to the contest first.

Xiao Xunbao took out the phone its Yu Beast Master had specifically given it before leaving, looked at the time on it, and called out:

“Xiao Xunbao~”

It’s okay, there’s still time, getting there is just a matter of Space Movement.

Qingyin Fairy said nothing, just looked at Xiao Xunbao expressionlessly, and a Typhoon suddenly began to blow around its body.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao knew that Qingyin Fairy was angry, and quickly called out.

We’ll go now, I’ll send you there right now, isn’t that okay!

Saying that, it closed its eyes and began to pinpoint the contest address.

Soon, Xiao Xunbao opened its blue-glowing eyes and left the spot with Qingyin Fairy.

In front of a huge circular building, Xiao Xunbao and Qingyin Fairy appeared out of thin air.

Even in a society where wild Pet Beasts dressed up, Xiao Xunbao’s appearance immediately attracted the attention of many people and Pet Beasts.

Not far away, a Host in a formal suit holding a microphone immediately noticed them, his eyes lit up, he quickly walked over, and holding the microphone, asked:

“Are you here to participate in the Strongest Advanced Pet Contest?”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao called out to Qingyin Fairy, indicating, “See, I told you getting here was just a matter of Space Movement.”

“Qingyin Fairy.”

Qingyin Fairy ignored it, and sweetly called out to the camera.

Yes, it was here to participate in the contest.

The Pet Beast holding the camera called out, helping to translate.

The Host was clearly more interested in Xiao Xunbao, who was wearing a colorful afro, and asked:

“What about you?”

Saying that, he put the microphone in front of Xiao Xunbao.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao was first stunned, then realized what the other party meant, and began to curse loudly.

The Host looked bewildered, not knowing what he had said wrong.

“Qingyin Fairy.”

“Qingyin Fairy!”

In the end, it was Qingyin Fairy who forcibly pulled Xiao Xunbao away.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao called out discontentedly, indicating, “Why are you pulling me, I haven’t cursed enough.”

“Qingyin Fairy.”

Qingyin Fairy called out, indicating that it was almost time for the contest.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao showed an expression of “this human got off easy,” and turned to float towards the ticket gate.

However, after only floating a few meters, Xiao Xunbao seemed to see something and changed direction.

Qingyin Fairy looked at Xiao Xunbao’s back, thinking it was again attracted by something new and had forgotten that its contest was about to start, and showed an unhappy expression.

The wind around its body also inexplicably grew stronger.

But the next second, the Typhoon around Qingyin Fairy’s body stopped.

Xiao Xunbao was seen arriving next to a stall selling cheering sticks, taking out cash, and buying a cheering stick.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Then, Xiao Xunbao instantly moved to the entrance queue, and even waved its paw at Qingyin Fairy, indicating, “Come quickly.”

“Qingyin Fairy~”

A brisk breeze swirled around Qingyin Fairy, and it floated towards Xiao Xunbao.

On the other side.

Mu Lian Arena.

The Host passionately spoke on the field:

“After three consecutive days of contests, the number of people remaining on the field is now only 32! Who will continue to the next round and become one of the top 16 players! Let’s move the field!”

As his words fell, the half-field where each person stood began to move and interlace.

After about half a minute, the field stopped moving and became completely fixed.

Qiao Sang looked at her opponent not far away and sighed in her heart.

Fire Shell Snail, a High Level Fire-type Pet, is a rare gentle-natured Pet Beast among Fire-type Pet Beasts. Due to its excessively high body temperature, when hit by raindrops, steam will fill the air, and its body will be enveloped in dense mist. Its shell is filled with Fire-type energy, and direct contact will cause burns. This species generally possesses the Flame Body characteristic.

To actually encounter a High Level Pet Beast now… Qiao Sang sighed internally, but she didn’t feel too nervous.

She hadn’t entered this contest with the mindset of winning the championship, after all, Xiaoting Dragon had only been trained for a short time, and winning the championship was too unrealistic.

It was just a slight pity. With Xiaoting Dragon’s recent efforts, plus her own command, if they had encountered a Beginner Pet Beast, winning the contest should not have been a big problem.

In the audience, everyone saw the team matchups and began to discuss animatedly:

“Xiaoting Dragon actually teamed up with Fire Shell Snail!”

“Qiao Sang is a bit unlucky, she has to fight an opponent with a High Level Pet Beast already in the 32 to 16 strong elimination.”

“No way, is the only Dragon-type Pet Beast on the field also going to be eliminated?”

“This is just a low-tier contest. A Beginner versus a High Level, with a Dragon-type plus an Electric-type, it should be able to fight above its level.”

“Those are all Dragon-type Pet Beasts that are at least late-Beginner. This Xiaoting Dragon’s size clearly indicates it can’t be late-Beginner.”

“What a pity…”

Ah! Thanks to the boss of Facai Gu for the Alliance Leader reward! It’s truly touching that you still rewarded me despite me not adding chapters for Alliance Leaders for so long. I wish the boss good health and great wealth!
