Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 138: Wateryana
Most blue colors are found in Water-type Pets.
She really guessed correctly! Qiao Sang secretly admired her quick wit.
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost floated over and curiously poked the light blue Pet’s ear, which flowed like water, with its paw.
Although the ear looked like water swirling and flowing, the paw did not penetrate it as if touching water; instead, it was blocked by the surface.
The spot on the ear that was touched rippled like water, which was quite magical.
“Xun!”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost instantly became excited and poked it repeatedly with its paw.
Then, it poked the tail, because the light blue Pet’s tail, like its ears, also looked like water swirling and flowing.
Qiao Sang walked closer and stared at the light blue Pet’s appearance, stunned for a long time.
From a distance, the light blue Pet was small, and after fainting, it curled into a ball, so only its color was discernible; its features were unclear.
Now, looking at it up close, Qiao Sang realized she had never seen this Pet before, and… it was incredibly cute!
It was a small, curled-up creature lying on its side, with four legs, a fox-like appearance, light blue scales, large pointed ears, and inner ears that were a deeper azure than the outer ears.
In the middle of its forehead was an azure, teardrop-shaped jade stone, and its back connected to its tail, which forked at the end, somewhat resembling a mermaid’s tail.
The most striking feature was that its ears and tail looked as if they were made of water.
Qiao Sang squatted down and couldn’t help but touch its ear; it was cool and soft.
A refreshing sensation passed from her fingertips; touching it in summer would be incredibly pleasant.
This texture… Qiao Sang couldn’t control herself and touched it twice more.
Ya Bao also walked over at this moment; it was not as captivated by the light blue Pet’s appearance as Qiao Sang and Little Treasure Hunting Ghost.
It glared angrily at the fallen Pet for a couple of glances.
So this was the culprit who had gotten it completely wet this morning.
The more Ya Bao thought about it, the angrier it got, and it went up and shook it hard twice with its paw.
“Ya!”
“Yaya!”
How could it just faint! Wake up quickly and fight it for three hundred rounds!
“Ya Bao, let’s wait for it to wake up naturally. We’ll ask it why it did that first,” Qiao Sang said, feeling a pang of pity as she looked at the small Pet being shaken.
People always show more tolerance towards beautiful things. “Looks-ism” in today’s society applies not only to people but also to Pets, and this is vividly demonstrated in the Coordination Competition.
As long as a Pet is good-looking enough, it can easily enter the second round just by standing there without needing to specially show off.
Pets that are not good-looking, even if they desperately show themselves off, will still be scrutinized.
“Ya.”
Ya Bao reluctantly retracted its paw.
Although it really wanted to fight the culprit for three hundred rounds right now, since its Yu Beast Master said so, it would endure it for a while.
Qiao Sang patted Ya Bao’s head with relief.
Then she picked up the light blue Pet, went to the living room, placed it on the sofa, took out her phone, took a picture of it, and searched online.
Soon, information about the light blue Pet appeared online.
“Water Luyana, an endangered Water-type Beginner Pet from the Ancient Mist region. It has a gentle temperament, dislikes combat, and symbolizes beauty and peace.”
“Because its cell structure is similar to water molecules, it possesses the special ability to make its cells change and integrate its body into water.”
“However, it must constantly replenish water, so it uses its ears or tail to collect water from the air and absorb it into its body.”
“If its ears and tail are twice their usual size, it is a sign that it will rain in a few hours.”
“It is said that even if it loses an arm or a leg, as long as the gem on its head glows, there is nothing that cannot be restored.”
Qiao Sang looked at the information on her phone, her mind blank.
An endangered Water-type Pet from the Ancient Mist region?!
The Ancient Mist region is ten thousand eight hundred li away from the Yuhua region, exaggerated… in short, it’s very far…
How could a Pet from there come to the Yuhua region?
And it can recover even if it loses an arm or a leg?!
That would at least require a Super-level healing skill!
Qiao Sang forced herself to calm down. She took a deep breath and searched for the reason for Water Luyana’s endangered status.
Pets becoming endangered are usually due to ancient disasters, predator-prey relationships in the food chain.
Or difficulty in reproduction, or having been extensively hunted by humans.
Recalling the function of the gem on Water Luyana’s head mentioned online, Qiao Sang strongly suspected it was due to past overhunting by humans.
Soon, the internet gave her the answer.
“Difficulty in reproduction plus extensive hunting.”
Qiao Sang was silent for a moment. As expected…
The value of such endangered Pets is unimaginable. Although not as powerful as divine beasts, their rarity is completely comparable to divine beasts.
Dragon-type Pets and Fairy-type Pets, though rare, still have a market price; if you have money, you can definitely buy them.
But endangered Pets are not a matter of money.
Qiao Sang looked down at the still unconscious Water Luyana and had to admit… she was tempted…
If a Pet with powerful healing skills and a rarity comparable to a divine beast is placed in front of you, and you’re still not tempted, then you are truly without desires, comparable to a saint, practically not even human!
A Yu Beast Master cannot resist temptations related to Pets.
Qiao Sang stated that she was a person and also a Yu Beast Master.
“Little Treasure!” Qiao Sang turned her head and said with burning eyes, “When it wakes up, it’s all up to your social skills. Bring out all the delicious and fun things! I’ll pay you back tenfold then!”
“Xun!”
Upon hearing this, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost immediately excitedly took off its ring and started pulling things out of it non-stop.
Milk, candy, snacks, Wind Sculpture feathers, dandelions, pink heart-shaped sunglasses…
Ya Bao was a bit confused by its Yu Beast Master’s words. These things wouldn’t be for this culprit, would they…?
But when it saw the familiar sunglasses on the coffee table, it momentarily forgot what it was just thinking.
“Ya!”
“Yaya!”
Ya Bao excitedly picked up the pink heart-shaped sunglasses with its paw.
It had been searching for so long and couldn’t find them; they were in its little brother’s ring all along!
Ya Bao picked up the sunglasses and was about to put them on.
It tried to put them on, but they wouldn’t fit… the frame poked into the flesh on its face…
Ever since Ya Bao evolved from a Fire Fang Dog into a Yan Ling Dog, its body size had increased several times, and its head had also grown several times. The sunglasses that were originally suitable for a Fire Fang Dog’s size naturally no longer fit.
“Ya…”
Ya Bao quickly realized the reason was its evolution.
It looked down at the sunglasses in its paw, feeling crestfallen, and didn’t want to accept this reality for a moment.
“What’s the big deal? I’ll buy you a few new pairs of sunglasses; you can choose them later,” Qiao Sang said generously.
“Ya!”
Upon hearing this, Ya Bao’s tail wagged, and it immediately perked up.
Seeing that Ya Bao was in a good mood, Qiao Sang seized the opportunity and said, “Do you know who this Pet is?”
“Ya!”
Ya Bao nodded.
Of course it knew, the big bad guy who got it completely soaked!
“No, this is a poor child who has left its hometown, is all alone, solitary, without relatives, and without support,” Qiao Sang said, feigning a solemn tone.
