Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 1090: Take a day off
Moda Flying Dragon… Qiao Sang was startled at first, then her eyes lit up as she asked, “Teacher, is this your Moda Flying Dragon?”
Mi Jiala nodded, her smile stiff.
Dragon King came before Qiao Sang, carefully sized her up, and then, with a satisfied expression, called out, “Mog Mog.”
After speaking, it raised one of its claws.
Qiao Sang looked at the claw, seemed to understand something, and extended her hand to shake its claw, greeting it, “Hello.”
“Mog Mog,” Dragon King called out, lowering its claw.
What is it saying…? Qiao Sang did not respond, but instead looked at Teacher Mi Jiala.
Mi Jiala took a moment to mentally prepare herself, then walked forward to help translate, “It says its name is Dragon King.”
“Mog Mog.”
Dragon King didn’t want to bother with Mi Jiala at the moment, but remembering the purpose of its visit, it reluctantly nodded, indicating that she was correct.
Dragon King? I didn’t expect you, Teacher, to give it such a name… Qiao Sang looked at Teacher Mi Jiala, both surprised and amused.
Mi Jiala sensed the meaning in Qiao Sang’s gaze, coughed, and explained, “It named itself that before I even contracted it.”
“Mog Mog?”
Dragon King called out, as if asking a question.
Mi Jiala was silent for a moment, then translated, “It says it has always aimed to be the leader of its kind, so it gave itself this name. What do you think of the name?”
“I think it’s a bit chuunibyou,” Qiao Sang said honestly.
Dragon King’s face instantly darkened.
Mi Jiala was stunned, not expecting her student to be so blunt. Logically, shouldn’t she have complimented her teacher’s Pet, even if it meant going against her conscience?
“This name is not something an ordinary Pet would choose, but it precisely highlights Dragon King’s extraordinary nature,” Qiao Sang praised with sincere tone, “You know, an ordinary Pet couldn’t possibly handle this name, but Dragon King not only handled it, it has also aimed for this goal since it was young, and now it has truly become the leader of the Little Mo Dragon group. This mindset, this perseverance, I truly admire it.”
Mi Jiala: “…”
Dragon King stared blankly at the young girl before it. No one had ever said such things to it…
Steel Treasure silently glanced at its Yu Beast Master.
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xunbao, while cracking melon seeds, began to ponder in silence.
To take a name as a goal, I wonder if I can change my name to ‘Boss Xun’…
Qiao Sang continued, “Although I haven’t seen you before, Teacher Mi Jiala mentioned it to me. It was Teacher Mi Jiala who told me about you becoming the leader of your kind.”
Dragon King turned to look at Mi Jiala.
That’s true… Mi Jiala smiled warmly at Dragon King.
“Mog Mog.”
Dragon King finally spoke to Mi Jiala, its first word since arriving.
Isn’t it natural for you to mention me?
In its view, since it had become the leader of its kind, it was a very honorable thing for Mi Jiala, as its Yu Beast Master, to mention it.
Mi Jiala: “…”
“Mog Mog.”
Dragon King looked back at Qiao Sang, calling out with a serious tone.
Mi Jiala listened, but did not translate immediately. Instead, she had a bad premonition and frowned, asking, “What do you want with her?”
“Mog Mog.” Dragon King glanced at her, calling out, indicating for her to translate quickly.
…Mi Jiala tried to maintain her composure, looked at Qiao Sang, and said, “It says it came specifically to find you this time.”
As she spoke, Xiaoting Dragon had already arrived nearby.
Qiao Sang was stunned, “Looking for me?”
“Mog Mog.” Dragon King nodded.
“What for?” Qiao Sang asked.
Dragon King did not answer, but suddenly looked up and roared loudly:
“Mog Mog!”
The air seemed to vibrate, scaring several Flying-type Pets that happened to be passing by high in the sky, causing them to accelerate their flight and even drop two feathers.
What is it doing? Qiao Sang was a bit bewildered.
Mi Jiala looked up at the sky, her bad premonition growing stronger.
“Mog Mog!”
“Mog Mog!”
Before long, two Dragon-type Pets of different forms swooped down from the sky, stopping beside Dragon King.
One was about 80 centimeters tall, with dark red fur covering its eyes, a pointed protrusion on its head, and small wings. The other was about two meters tall, with a light red main body color, two rows of white stripes on its body, and a pair of wings on its back.
It’s Little Mo Dragon and Mo Li Dragon… Qiao Sang recognized the two Dragon-type Pets before her. Her gaze unconsciously fell on Mo Li Dragon.
Her first thought was: I remember the book said Mo Li Dragon is dark red with deep purple stripes.
Her second thought was: Holy cow, this is actually a unique colored Mo Li Dragon…
Qiao Sang’s gaze uncontrollably lingered on Mo Li Dragon for several seconds.
You know, Dragon-type Pets are rare, and unique colored Dragon-type Pets are even rarer.
She had now lived on three different planets, yet the number of unique colored Pets she had seen was still countable on one’s fingers.
This was her first time seeing a unique colored Dragon-type Pet.
“Mog Mog.”
Mo Li Dragon felt the human’s gaze, its lips curved into a handsome smile, and it greeted her.
“Mog Mog!”
The Little Mo Dragon beside it, not to be outdone, stood in front of Mo Li Dragon and also greeted, asserting its presence.
“Ting Ting…”
Xiaoting Dragon looked at them, inexplicably feeling a sense of crisis.
It moved its body, climbed onto Qiao Sang’s body, and wrapped itself around her neck.
Dragon King calmly glanced at Xiaoting Dragon, not taking it seriously.
Dragon King… Mi Jiala realized something, and her mouth twitched.
“Hello,” Qiao Sang responded to Little Mo Dragon and Mo Li Dragon.
“Mog Mog.”
Dragon King called out, then looked at Mi Jiala, signaling her with its eyes to translate.
“Ting Ting!”
However, before Mi Jiala could translate, Xiaoting Dragon’s face instantly darkened, yellow electric arcs crackled around its body, and its body unconsciously tightened a bit.
“Ting Bao…”
Qiao Sang was choked and couldn’t breathe for a moment, her face flushed, and she raised her hand to pull at Xiaoting Dragon’s body.
Xiaoting Dragon realized what it had done, was startled, the electric arcs on its body disappeared, and it quickly loosened its grip on its Yu Beast Master’s neck.
Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief.
“Yaya?”
Yabao teleported to its Yu Beast Master’s side, showing a worried expression and calling out, asking if she was okay.
“Phew…” Qiao Sang exhaled in relief, comforting it, “I’m fine.”
“Mog Mog.”
Dragon King glanced at Xiaoting Dragon, calmly calling out, indicating that this kid was too impulsive.
“Ting Ting!”
Xiaoting Dragon showed an angry expression, jumped off its Yu Beast Master, and yellow electric arcs appeared on its body again.
Dragon King squinted at it, its expression disdainful.
“Dragon King,” Mi Jiala called out.
Dragon King looked at her.
Mi Jiala said helplessly, “Can we go outside and talk first?”
“Mog Mog.”
Dragon King called out.
I said, I didn’t come here for you.
Mi Jiala: “…”
“Mog Mog.”
Dragon King looked at Qiao Sang, calling out.
Qiao Sang looked at Dragon King, then at Teacher Mi Jiala, asking with her eyes, Aren’t you two going outside to talk?
Dragon King looked at Mi Jiala, signaling her with its eyes to translate what it had just said.
Mi Jiala took a deep breath and gave Pen Jiami a look.
Pen Jiami understood what it meant, and its eyes glowed blue.
The next second, it disappeared from the spot with Mi Jiala and Dragon King.
Little Mo Dragon and Mo Li Dragon looked at each other.
“Mog Mog?”
Little Mo Dragon called out, indicating, “The leader is gone, what should we do?”
“Mog Mog.”
Mo Li Dragon called out, indicating, “The leader must be discussing our contract with its Yu Beast Master. We just need to wait patiently.”
“Mog Mog.”
Little Mo Dragon nodded.
Having finished their discussion, they both looked at Qiao Sang.
“Ting Ting…”
Xiaoting Dragon understood the conversation and looked at Little Mo Dragon and Mo Li Dragon with an unfriendly expression.
Mo Li Dragon gave it a Taunt smile.
Before electric arcs could appear on Xiaoting Dragon’s body, Qiao Sang said, “Why don’t you two come in and sit down first?”
“Mog Mog.”
“Mog Mog.”
Little Mo Dragon and Mo Li Dragon nodded, then walked towards the living room.
“Ting Ting!”
Xiaoting Dragon looked at Qiao Sang, showing an incredulous expression as it called out.
You actually let them in to sit!
“Xun!”
Xiao Xunbao emerged from the black hole, imitating Xiaoting Dragon’s tone, helping to translate.
Qiao Sang was stunned, “They are guests, shouldn’t they come in and sit for a while?”
Xiaoting Dragon showed a hurt expression, moved its body, and turned to leave.
What’s wrong now…? Qiao Sang felt a slight headache.
Honestly, since becoming a Professional Beast Tamer, this was the first time she felt that the communication difficulty between contracted and uncontracted Pets was truly vastly different.
“Steel Chief.”
At this moment, Steel Treasure’s voice sounded in her mind.
That Pet named Dragon King brought those two little ones here because it wants you to choose one of them to contract.
What? Dragon King brought Little Mo Dragon and Mo Li Dragon here because it wants me to choose one of them to contract? Qiao Sang looked bewildered.
Two seconds later, she suddenly realized why Xiaoting Dragon was angry and quickly shouted:
“Ting Bao!”
Xiaoting Dragon stopped crawling but did not turn around.
Qiao Sang ran in front of Xiaoting Dragon, squatted down, and said seriously, “I said, my next contract slot is only reserved for you.”
“Ting Ting.”
Xiaoting Dragon looked up at Qiao Sang, showing a “Don’t lie to me” expression as it called out.
“Steel Chief,” Steel Treasure translated in her mind.
“Of course,” Qiao Sang nodded.
Xiaoting Dragon moved its body, climbed onto its Yu Beast Master’s neck, showing its trust.
Oh, Teacher, you almost killed me… I didn’t expect it, after all this time, Teacher still doesn’t think highly of Ting Bao. She even found Dragon King to bring its own kind’s little ones, and one of them is even a unique colored Pet, clearly a huge investment… Luckily, my resolve is strong enough… Qiao Sang, with Xiaoting Dragon hanging around her neck, walked towards the living room.
“Steel Chief.”
Steel Treasure called out in her mind, indicating that it actually thought Teacher Mi Jiala didn’t know about this, and it was Dragon King’s own idea. Their opinions were clearly not aligned just now.
Otherwise, when Dragon King asked Teacher Mi Jiala to translate, why didn’t Teacher Mi Jiala translate at all and even took it away?
Qiao Sang was stunned and said in her mind, “How is that possible? Dragon King is Teacher Mi Jiala’s Pet. Even if it was Dragon King’s idea, it must have told Teacher beforehand about bringing Little Mo Dragon and Mo Li Dragon.”
Steel Treasure was silent.
It was somewhat convinced.
Teacher Mi Jiala is an S-Class Beast Master, so she should be in a dominant position.
…
At the same time.
A thousand meters up in the sky.
“Why didn’t you tell me beforehand that you were bringing Little Mo Dragon and Mo Li Dragon?” Mi Jiala said with a headache.
“Mog Mog!”
“Mog Mog!”
Speaking of this, Dragon King got angry. It called out twice in anger.
Didn’t I send you a message!
You didn’t even answer my calls!
Mi Jiala defended herself, “I was busy at the time, and when I tried to call you back, your phone was unreachable.”
“Mog Mog!”
“Mog Mog!”
Dragon King got even angrier.
It’s because you didn’t answer the phone that I put too much force and broke my phone!
Mi Jiala was silent for a moment, “I’ll compensate you.”
With that, she took out her phone and transferred some money.
Dragon King took out its phone, clicked to receive the payment, and then showed a satisfied expression, calling out:
“Mog Mog.”
Let’s go back quickly. I still need to ask your student whether to contract Little Mo Dragon or Mo Li Dragon.
Mi Jiala was silent for two seconds, then said, “She won’t contract them. She has already decided to contract Xiaoting Dragon.”
The training and competitions during this period had made her realize that Xiaoting Dragon indeed had great battle talent and cooperated very well with Qiao Sang.
Most importantly, they mutually recognized each other.
“Mog Mog.”
Dragon King called out in dissatisfaction.
Aren’t you her teacher? Tell her not to contract that little one.
Mi Jiala sighed and said, “I can’t do anything about it. She’s already made up her mind about this.”
“Mog Mog!”
“Mog Mog!”
“Mog Mog!”
Dragon King showed an angry expression and began to bring up old grudges.
Why are you still so useless!
When you contracted with me, you said you’d take me to the Interstellar Cup to win the championship!
And what happened?! We were eliminated in the first round!
Now you can’t even manage a student!
Mi Jiala remained silent.
“Pen Pen.”
Pen Jiami, who had been quiet all along, called out with a serious expression.
Dragon King felt a slight regret after speaking, but ultimately couldn’t bring itself to apologize. It flapped its wings and turned to fly towards the villa.
“Wait,” Mi Jiala called out.
Dragon King turned to look at her.
“I’ll go with you,” Mi Jiala said in a deep voice, “I will talk to Qiao Sang, but I can’t decide whether she contracts them or not.”
She paused, then added, “I’m very sorry about the Interstellar Cup.”
“Mog Mog.”
After two seconds of silence, Dragon King called out, indicating that it was all in the past.
…
Villa, living room.
Xiaoting Dragon looked at Little Mo Dragon and Mo Li Dragon with an unfriendly expression, yellow electric arcs occasionally appearing on its body.
“Mog Mog.”
“Mog Mog.”
Little Mo Dragon and Mo Li Dragon surrounded Qiao Sang, talking about their situations, ignoring Xiaoting Dragon.
“Yaya.”
“Yaya.”
Yabao helped translate from the side.
Qiao Sang confirmed with a bewildered expression:
“You said you fought your way through hundreds of Little Mo Dragons and Mo Li Dragons, achieving the final victory, to come here?”
“Mog Mog.”
“Mog Mog.”
Little Mo Dragon and Mo Li Dragon nodded proudly.
“Ting Ting…”
Xiaoting Dragon roughly calculated.
Hundreds? I only fought a few opponents…
Suddenly, a sense of crisis arose.
“You guys are so amazing,” Qiao Sang said with genuine admiration.
“Mog Mog.”
“Mog Mog.”
Little Mo Dragon showed a humble expression, while Mo Li Dragon’s expression grew even prouder.
“Are you here because you want to contract with me?” Qiao Sang asked.
“Mog Mog.”
“Mog Mog.”
Little Mo Dragon and Mo Li Dragon nodded.
“Sorry,” Qiao Sang said, “You might not know my situation yet, but I already have someone in mind to contract.”
As she spoke, she pointed to Xiaoting Dragon hanging around her neck.
“Ting Ting.”
Xiaoting Dragon puffed out its chest.
“Mog Mog…”
Little Mo Dragon looked at Mo Li Dragon, showing an expression of “What should we do about this?”
“Mog Mog.”
Mo Li Dragon called out, indicating, “Don’t worry, let’s wait for the leader to come back first.”
No sooner had it spoken than Mi Jiala and Dragon King appeared out of thin air in the living room.
“Mog Mog!”
“Mog Mog!”
Little Mo Dragon and Mo Li Dragon showed surprised expressions.
“Mog Mog.”
Dragon King nodded at them, then called out to Qiao Sang.
Mi Jiala helped translate, “These two Little Mo Dragon and Mo Li Dragon were specially chosen by Dragon King from its kind. They are both outstanding among their peers. You can choose one of them to contract.” (End of chapter)
