Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 119: This is not a fire dog!
The dazzling white light almost blinded Qiao Sang.
Qiao Sang was stunned. This, it evolved just like that?
Didn’t they say there was still about half a day left?!
It hasn’t even been an hour yet!
The Vice Principal is too unreliable!
However, since she had mentally accepted that Fire Fang Dog could evolve today, there was no difference to her between half a day and an hour.
As soon as she thought about Fire Fang Dog evolving into Burning Fire Dog, Qiao Sang’s heart couldn’t help but pound faster.
Unlike Fire Fang Dog’s somewhat cute appearance, Burning Fire Dog looks majestic, with its entire body a fiery red, no longer having black stripes or the orange-yellow tuft of short fur on its head.
Its dignified appearance is very suitable for practicing the Leer skill.
As long as it glares at an opponent, some timid opponents basically lose the courage to continue battling.
“Xun!”
“Xun!”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost opened its eyes wide and cried out excitedly twice.
Under the eager gazes of Qiao Sang and Little Treasure Hunting Ghost, the light receded.
Fire Fang Dog… was still Fire Fang Dog.
“Xun?”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost tilted its head.
Qiao Sang’s heart sank. Evolution… failed?
“Ya.”
Fire Fang Dog looked up and weakly grinned at its Yu Beast Master, then collapsed onto the bed.
“Yabao!” Qiao Sang’s heart tightened, and she quickly picked up Fire Fang Dog.
“Xun!”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost showed a panicked expression.
Fire Fang Dog hadn’t fainted; it was just in too much pain from suppressing the energy within its body.
“Ya.”
Fire Fang Dog weakly called out to its Yu Beast Master.
Qiao Sang was stunned. Usually, she could only understand what Fire Fang Dog was saying, but Fire Fang Dog was clearly saying it was fine. Yet, this time, her mind became very clear, with a sense of sudden enlightenment, and she felt the words Fire Fang Dog hadn’t even spoken yet.
“Why did you interrupt your own evolution?” Qiao Sang asked in a deep voice.
Fire Fang Dog didn’t say, but she felt it.
This evolution was interrupted by Fire Fang Dog itself.
Qiao Sang actually had a guess in her heart, but she still couldn’t help but ask.
“Ya.”
“Yaya.”
Fire Fang Dog endured the pain and began to explain.
It didn’t want to evolve now; it could wait half a month to evolve.
Qiao Sang fell silent.
After a few seconds, she spoke, “Didn’t I tell you, we have money, we can afford that breach of contract fee.”
“Ya.”
Fire Fang Dog’s expression was firm, just like when it said it wanted to learn Mars Rain.
“If you don’t evolve now and something goes wrong with your body, then when you evolve into a Burning Fire Dog in half a month, you might not be as strong as other Burning Fire Dogs, your size might not be as tall as theirs, and you might not be as handsome as them.” Qiao Sang’s tone was a bit bitter.
Fire Fang Dog’s body stiffened, almost forgetting the pain.
Its expression became conflicted, as if it were pondering a century-old problem.
After an unknown amount of time, Fire Fang Dog gritted its teeth, closed its eyes, turned its head, and covered its ears with its paws, indicating its choice.
Qiao Sang was taken aback by Fire Fang Dog’s actions.
It clearly wanted to become stronger so badly…
At this moment, the second option for Fire Fang Dog’s evolution in the yu beast codex became increasingly clear.
Qiao Sang’s palm was sticky; it was Fire Fang Dog’s cold sweat from the pain.
“Xun.” Little Treasure Hunting Ghost called out worriedly.
“It’s okay.” Qiao Sang comforted it.
It’s okay, it’s not a big problem, she had already thought of a solution.
Qiao Sang looked deeply at Fire Fang Dog, whose fur was matted together from sweating due to the pain.
She no longer hesitated, picked up her phone, and directly dialed a number, turning on the speakerphone.
The call connected quickly.
“Hello, why are you suddenly calling me?” The female voice on the other end of the phone asked with a smile.
“I want to terminate the contract.” Qiao Sang said.
Fire Fang Dog’s refusal to evolve was because of the endorsement; if that was the case, then terminating the contract was the solution.
…
Song Yuan sat at her desk, contentedly checking yesterday’s sales figures.
She had indeed not misjudged; since Fire Fang Dog took on the endorsement, sales had soared over the past month, and traffic had more than quadrupled.
Now she just had to wait for the new collection next quarter to make another fortune.
A loud ringing pulled Song Yuan back from her reverie.
She picked it up and saw that it was none other than the great contributor to her earnings.
Song Yuan answered the phone with a smile.
“I want to terminate the contract.”
Those four short words instantly stunned Song Yuan, and before she could even ask why, the other party said something else that left her dumbfounded.
“Yabao is evolving today, so it can’t shoot for the next season’s sunglasses. I will pay the breach of contract fee, I’m sorry.”
Song Yuan was speechless for a long time.
Evolving?
Today?
Is this a joke?
Only a month had passed since the Bai Xin Competition. When they signed the contract last time, she almost scoffed when they said it would evolve in half a year. Now, after just one month, they’re telling her it’s evolving?
Although she really wanted to curse, her rationality told her that this matter might actually be true…
After all, who would not make money and tell such a clumsy lie?
“Can you bring Yabao here today? I’ll have someone record its evolution process and upload it to the official website. That way, as long as everyone knows that Burning Fire Dog is Yabao, it won’t affect the shooting for the next quarter, and you won’t have to pay the breach of contract fee.” Song Yuan was silent for a moment before offering a solution.
Last time, when signing the contract, she agreed to Qiao Sang only signing for half a year due to the reason of evolution because she didn’t believe it at the time, only thinking that the other party was a new Yu Beast Master who had become arrogant after winning a small competition.
But this call forced her to believe. The contract was signed, and it only needed one more shoot. Who would rather pay a breach of contract fee than come to shoot?
Moreover, Qiao Sang said it would evolve today. If this was true, then it would definitely be the best time to build a connection.
Someone who can evolve their Pet to intermediate level before even starting high school—if she didn’t befriend such a person now, it might be impossible to interact with them once they grew stronger.
Qiao Sang and Fire Fang Dog, who were staring at each other, both froze for a moment. So, even if it evolved, they didn’t have to pay the breach of contract fee…
Fire Fang Dog got excited, and the energy in its body went out of control, causing a dazzling white light to reappear around it.
But it quickly suppressed it, panting heavily.
“Ya…”
Fire Fang Dog cried out in pain.
“Thank you! I’ll be right there!” Qiao Sang said, then quickly hung up and dialed another number.
After two beeps, the call connected.
“Vice Principal, I’m Qiao Sang!”
“…”
After learning the full story, Liu Yao didn’t say much, only suggesting that Xian Teacher take Qiao Sang there to save time.
For the first time, Qiao Sang felt that the Vice Principal was truly reliable!
Not only did he leave her his number beforehand, but he also had Xian Teacher take her there to save time.
The place that normally took over half an hour to reach without traffic jams was reached in about ten minutes after Xian Teacher looked at the navigation, closed his eyes, and felt for a moment.
And it was directly to the 18th floor of Jin Yu Building.
…
Song Yuan stared blankly for a long time at Qiao Sang and the three Pets respectfully led in by the receptionist.
She looked at the Pet quietly standing beside her and was completely stunned. This seemed to be a King-level Pet, Tian Xian Bat…
“Boss Song, can we please start shooting now?” Qiao Sang stepped forward, anxious.
Song Yuan came back to her senses, intending to ask first, but seeing Fire Fang Dog completely drenched, she immediately said seriously, “I’ll have the camera crew ready immediately.”
“Can we just use a phone to record?” Qiao Sang asked.
Song Yuan was taken aback, then looked down at Fire Fang Dog’s condition, her heart trembling.
It really was about to evolve; it seemed to be suppressing it…
But for uploading such a video, the clearer, the better. After all, there are so many Fire Fang Dogs, and if it’s too blurry, it’s easy to be questioned by others.
Song Yuan looked at Qiao Sang and made up her mind: “Okay!”
If she missed this opportunity with such a person, it might be difficult to build a connection later.
Song Yuan opened her phone’s camera and said, “I’m ready, you can start.”
At the same time, a crowd of people were pressed against the door outside.
“Is what you said true?”
“It’s true, why would I lie to you? That girl appeared out of thin air in front of me, she scared me to death.” The receptionist said with lingering fear.
“Isn’t she Yabao’s Yu Beast Master?”
“Yes, yes, it’s her. I remember, last time she also brought a Ghost-type Pet, it almost scared me to death.” The receptionist whispered.
“Ghost-type Pets can only appear out of thin air by being invisible, they can’t make people do that, can they?”
“She brought another Pet today. I don’t know if that Pet did it.”
“I got a message, it seems she brought Yabao to evolve. The boss told me and asked if the camera crew had any other work today.”
“Evolve? She seems to be… Don’t push!”
“Give me some space, I also want to see what a Pet that can make people appear out of thin air looks like.”
Inside the room.
“Yabao, let’s begin. This time, you can evolve with peace of mind.” Qiao Sang gently said, placing Fire Fang Dog on the ground.
“Ya!”
Fire Fang Dog looked at its Yu Beast Master and nodded solemnly.
It relaxed and no longer suppressed the energy within its body, letting the energy engulf it.
At the same time, the second option for Fire Fang Dog’s evolution in the yu beast codex within Qiao Sang’s mind was no longer flickering, but had fully emerged and stabilized.
The two options continuously intertwined, emitting light.
Qiao Sang’s heart also pounded incessantly.
It’s finally going to evolve!
The two options flickered with light, finally stopping on the second option.
The white light on Fire Fang Dog slowly dissipated.
“Don’t push!”
“I was here first!”
“Don’t push, what if we get caught!”
The door was pushed open, and a group of people surged in. Some fell to the ground, some laughed awkwardly, and some were drawn to the still receding white light.
Qiao Sang ignored the commotion at the door. She watched the gradually dissipating white light with trepidation and excitement.
A Pet with fluffy white fur, fiery red eyes, raised fur on its shoulders like a pair of wings, tiger-like red stripes on its body, and red fur around its feet appeared before her eyes.
Dead silence. No one spoke. Everyone was stunned.
This, this isn’t Burning Fire Dog!!!
Sorry, I’m late… Because I wanted to finish writing the evolution, the word count exceeded my expectations…
