Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 154: don’t want
Chapter 154: Don’t…
After experiencing so many scenarios, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost clearly knew that none of this was real.
It lay on the hospital bed, listening to the human who looked exactly like its Yu Beast Master talk a lot, most of which it didn’t understand.
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost listened for a while, then, craving something, it instinctively moved its paw upwards, wanting to take off the ring.
It touched, and the ring was gone.
“Ghost Absorption…”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost pouted.
“Are you hungry?” The person who looked like Qiao Sang took a black fruit from the fruit basket nearby and handed it over: “Here, your favorite Ghost-type Candle Fruit.”
“Ghost Absorption.”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost uncontrollably took it and started eating.
It sighed in its heart; it wanted milk, not this black, lumpy thing.
“You’re so big now, how can you still eat so messily?” The person who looked like Qiao Sang smiled and pulled out a tissue from beside them, wiping the corner of Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s mouth.
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost was stunned, seeing its own Yu Beast Master’s shadow on this human for the first time.
Time flowed very quickly in the dream; it seemed as if no time had passed before this person grew old.
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost looked at the human with a head full of white hair and wrinkled skin, unable to believe this was the same person who originally looked like its Yu Beast Master.
She lay quietly on the bed, eyes slightly closed, face pale and bloodless, with various tubes inserted into her body.
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost felt an inexplicable panic in its heart; this panic was no longer controlled by the dream but belonged to itself.
After an unknown amount of time, the person on the bed opened her eyes, and she opened her mouth, her voice very soft: “God Lamp, you and Nannan should go for a walk. She rarely comes, so please keep her company for me.”
“Ghost Absorption…”
“I’m fine; aren’t there many people here to keep me company?” The person on the bed said with a smile, seemingly suddenly regaining energy.
“Grandma, I’m not going. I’ll stay here and accompany you too.” A clear voice sounded from behind.
“It doesn’t smell good here. I’ll get up and go home soon. You go for a walk, and when you come back, we can leave.” The person on the bed said.
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost uncontrollably turned its head, only then realizing that several people were standing behind, one of whom looked to be about the same age as its Yu Beast Master.
Just as Little Treasure Hunting Ghost was about to walk out, the person on the bed called out to it: “Wait.”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost turned its head.
“Have fun.” The person on the bed’s eyebrows were gentle.
But Little Treasure Hunting Ghost didn’t feel very comfortable.
Because it saw its own Yu Beast Master’s shadow on her again, but its own Yu Beast Master would never become like this, looking like she was about to run out of breath at any moment.
…
The scene changed again.
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s eyes lit up as it looked at the bustling night market; it wanted to wander around, but its body was not under its control.
“God Lamp, Grandma will be fine, right?” The young girl beside it murmured.
“Ghost Absorption.”
The girl didn’t understand what it meant and answered herself: “She’ll be fine. Grandma is a Yu Beast Master. Everyone says Yu Beast Masters are very powerful and can live a long time. My deskmate’s grandpa is 133 years old and still very healthy; he even came to a parent-teacher conference a while ago.”
“My dad said that when Grandma was young, she participated in competitions and went to secret realms. If she hadn’t met Grandpa later, she definitely could have participated in the Regional Competition and become a very powerful Professional Beast Tamer.”
“Ghost Absorption.”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost suddenly found itself unable to move from its spot.
The girl didn’t notice and continued walking forward with her head down.
“Grandma doesn’t seem like someone who’d be blinded by love. Was Grandpa very handsome when he was young? No way, my dad is so ugly and says he inherited it from Grandpa. Luckily, I picked the good genes.”
“This time it’s also my dad’s fault. When he came, he was crying over there, which made me think Grandma was dying.”
Her voice grew more distant: “But Grandma lying in the hospital looked really scary, with so many tubes inserted into her body. But Grandma said she was going home soon, so she should be fine.”
“If something were wrong, God Lamp, as Grandma’s Pet, you would definitely be able to sense it…”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost stayed in place.
People came and went around it, but they all consciously left a space and didn’t get close to it.
It uncontrollably raised its head; on the screen of a tall building not far away, a certain Yu Beast competition was being shown.
Why was she dying? Little Treasure Hunting Ghost wondered.
It felt like only a moment had passed, and this person was already old.
Even if it wasn’t the Pet truly contracted with that person, it could still sense it. Ghost-type transcendent beings probably could all smell the aura of death on her.
It was so strong, as if she would disappear from this world in the next second.
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost trembled uncontrollably, its heart racing, its limbs cold.
This was not its feeling.
The next second, it uncontrollably turned around and walked back. The lights beside it extinguished one after another as it passed, then returned to normal.
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost saw that person again.
She lay on the bed with her eyes closed, and the man beside her had red eyes: “Mom, let Nannan and God Lamp come see you one last time.”
The person on the bed’s eyelids twitched, and after a moment, she used all her strength to open her eyes and give the man a glare.
Her mouth moved, but no sound came out.
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost floated in front of her. The people standing nearby didn’t react, as if they couldn’t see it.
The person on the bed, however, froze, as if she had sensed something.
At this moment, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost uncontrollably reached its hand into its own body…
“Don’t…”
In a daze, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost seemed to hear someone speaking.
…
Xi Ying Community.
“Ghost Absorption Lamp, stop struggling. With me here, I won’t let you escape. When it’s daylight, you’ll come with me to see your Yu Beast Master.” Qiao Sang said, picking up Ghost Absorption Lamp, which had managed to crawl a little distance away, and pulling it back with her hand.
She couldn’t rely on Ya Bao, so she had to rely on herself.
Qiao Sang carried Ghost Absorption Lamp next to Ya Bao, then went behind Ghost Absorption Lamp herself, avoiding its eyes to prevent being hypnotized.
“Ghost Absorption…”
Ghost Absorption Lamp struggled forward with both arms.
It had never seen such an annoying human! She talked endlessly; her mouth hadn’t stopped from the beginning until now!
Not at all like those people who walked around it.
Ghost Absorption Lamp paused at this thought, then struggled forward again with all its might.
Qiao Sang mercilessly pulled it back.
“It’s only 2 AM. If you don’t stay put and keep making small moves, be careful, I won’t wait until daylight and will send you upstairs now. The Old Lady is old, and you wouldn’t want to disturb her late at night, would you?”
Ghost Absorption Lamp’s body stiffened.
Just then, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost slowly opened its eyes. When it saw the familiar person in front of it, its eyes reddened, and it pounced over.
“Xun!”
“Xiao Xunbao!”
Qiao Sang was startled: “What’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare?”
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s tears fell in large drops.
Qiao Sang was shocked, never expecting Hypnosis to be so powerful. It seemed this skill needed Little Treasure Hunting Ghost to practice more in the future…
Seeing this, Ghost Absorption Lamp took the opportunity to crawl forward.
“I told you to stop struggling.” Qiao Sang, with quick eyes and hands, pulled it back.
Ghost Absorption Lamp: “…”
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost sobbed twice, then stopped crying.
It turned and floated in front of Ghost Absorption Lamp, staring at it fixedly, then took out its Friendship Milk.
Ghost Absorption Lamp stared blankly at the milk in front of it.
Qiao Sang, beside them, gasped, never expecting the power of Hypnosis to be so terrifying!
“Xiao Xunbao.”
“Xun~”
“Ghost Absorption!”
“Xiao Xunbao…”
“Ghost Absorption…”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost and Ghost Absorption Lamp communicated intensely.
After communicating like this for over half an hour, Ghost Absorption Lamp’s eyes were vacant, and it lay slumped on the ground, motionless.
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost floated in front of Qiao Sang and nodded.
Qiao Sang was dumbfounded.
