Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 192: black satin
Under the night sky, amidst the passionate violin music, Qiao Sang and Ke Guan Meow met eyes, as if by fate.
The next second.
Ke Guan Meow flicked its tail and left.
Qiao Sang: “!!!”
“Ya Bao! Chase!”
Qiao Sang leaped gracefully onto Ya Bao’s back.
“Ya!”
Hearing her Yu Beast Master’s words, Ya Bao instinctively tensed its four limbs, ready to run, but the moment its front left paw stepped out, it seemed to remember something and pulled it back.
“Ya?”
Who was it supposed to chase?
Qiao Sang: “…”
“It’s that short-legged one walking ahead! The one with the bag!” Qiao Sang pointed at the Ke Guan Meow, which was elegantly walking out of sight, and shouted.
“Ya!”
Ya Bao barked, indicating it had locked onto the target.
Its four limbs slightly bent, and its right hind leg scraped the ground twice.
Seeing this, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost quickly floated to its Yu Beast Master’s head, one claw holding the unfinished grilled sausage, and the other tightly clutching its Yu Beast Master’s hair.
“Xiao Xunbao!”
The moment Little Treasure Hunting Ghost was ready, Ya Bao transformed into a blur and vanished from its original spot.
Only Xiao Nvhai was left alone in the wind, a puzzled expression on her face.
When the young father found Xiao Nvhai, he saw her staring motionless in a certain direction.
“Didn’t I tell you not to run around? How did you end up here?” The young father ruffled his daughter’s hair and asked in a hoarse voice.
Xiao Nvhai snapped back to reality, looked up, and happily said, “Dad, I just saw a Yan Ling Dog!”
The young father thought of his own recent encounter and twitched his lips: “Are you sure you didn’t mistake it?”
Xiao Nvhai retorted, “Of course not! I even touched it!”
“Is that so?” The young father took his daughter’s fair, small hand and said, “Then let’s go home and tell Mom.”
In the square, the figures of one large and one small gradually walked away hand in hand.
“Dad, when I grow up, I want to be a Yu Beast Master too!”
“Okay.”
“I want to contract a Fire Fang Dog, and I want it to evolve into a Yan Ling Dog!”
“Okay.”
“Dad, are you done with your big business?”
“…”
“Are we going to buy the Yan Ling Dog model now?”
“…”
…
In the night wind, Ke Guan Meow ran in front, and Ya Bao chased behind.
Purely in terms of speed, it should have been able to catch up very quickly.
But Ke Guan Meow was small and agile, and it always liked to run into narrow, obstructed places, so Ya Bao, being slightly larger, chased for five minutes without catching up.
Qiao Sang sat on Ya Bao’s back, feeling the thrill of speed and the headache on her scalp, with her adrenaline continuously surging.
Along the way, she had considered having Ya Bao use skills, the first being to control it with its Superpower.
However, after Ya Bao used its Superpower, not only did its speed slow down, but its accuracy was not as good as usual.
Qiao Sang instantly realized that Pets needed to concentrate their mental power and internal energy to release skills, and it was difficult to do this while running.
Physical attack skills were fine, as they inherently involved body movement, but special attack skills were not.
This was also why most Pets stood still when releasing skills during combat.
Chasing with teleportation wouldn’t work either; Ya Bao’s current entry-level teleportation couldn’t carry a person. If she insisted on using it, she would probably have a close encounter with the ground.
But fortunately, she had more than one Pet…
Seeing Ke Guan Meow run into another alley, Qiao Sang immediately shouted, “Xiao Xunbao, block it!”
“Xun!”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost, holding the half-eaten, cold grilled sausage, instantly disappeared from Qiao Sang’s head.
Qiao Sang’s scalp felt lighter, and her mood improved considerably.
When she reached the alley entrance and saw Ke Guan Meow, disguised as a Ji Tie Meow, blocked inside by Little Treasure Hunting Ghost, her mood got even better.
“Oh, you little thing, why don’t you keep running?” Qiao Sang grinned, uttering classic villain lines.
“Ya Ya!”
Ya Bao’s mouth spread into a grin, mirroring Qiao Sang’s villainous expression.
Meanwhile, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost took the opportunity to take a bite of its unfinished grilled sausage.
“Ke Guan…” Ke Guan Meow, caught in the middle, somewhat helplessly used its paw to take off the bag hanging around its neck and offered it forward.
Qiao Sang’s expression froze, and she couldn’t help but retort, “If someone saw your reaction, they’d think I was robbing you.”
“Ke Guan?” Ke Guan Meow blinked.
Wasn’t she?
Qiao Sang didn’t understand its words and continued to speak to herself, “You were walking perfectly fine just now, why did you suddenly run?”
“Ke Guan…”
Ke Guan Meow pouted. If she hadn’t chased it, would it have run?
Qiao Sang continued, “Come with me. Your Yu Beast Master is looking for you. I’ll take you back.”
“Ke Guan…”
Ke Guan Meow hesitated for a moment, then shook its head.
Although Qiao Sang didn’t understand its meaning, she at least understood the action.
“Why? Just because I made you practice farting?” Qiao Sang asked, confused.
It was fine until she mentioned that, then Ke Guan Meow became distressed.
“Ke Guan! Ke Guan!” Ke Guan Meow’s expression was serious, arguing passionately.
Qiao Sang was silent for two seconds, then said, “Ya Bao, translate.”
“Ya.”
“Ya Ya.” Ya Bao translated earnestly.
While Ya Bao was translating, Ke Guan Meow noticed Little Treasure Hunting Ghost, who was focused on eating its grilled sausage nearby.
Its eyes darted, and it forcefully threw the bag in its paw in front of Qiao Sang, blocking her vision. Then it turned its head, and its eyes quickly glowed blue.
The grilled sausage in Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s claw was pulled to the ground by an invisible force, completely unprepared.
“Xun!”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost was startled and quickly lowered its head, extending a short toe to use its Superpower.
Fortunately, the Superpower was used in time, and the grilled sausage was frozen in place about one centimeter from the ground.
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost looked down at the grilled sausage and let out a sigh of relief.
But just then, Ke Guan Meow leaped up, using its astonishing jumping ability to directly land on Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s head, using its front paws to take off the ring. Then it pushed off with its hind legs, jumped upwards, and stepped into the air, escaping towards the sky.
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s head felt lighter, and it instinctively reached up with its claws to touch it.
“Xun!!!”
The next second, a scream echoed throughout the entire alley.
At the same time, the grilled sausage fell to the ground.
“Xiao Xunbao!”
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost turned and looked up with an extremely angry gaze at Ke Guan Meow, who had dropped its grilled sausage and taken its ring.
“Ke Guan.”
Ke Guan Meow felt Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s gaze, turned, smiled elegantly, and then unhurriedly threw the ring onto the ground about five meters from Little Treasure Hunting Ghost.
After Qiao Sang caught the bag coming towards her, what she saw was Ke Guan Meow running towards the sky with Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s ring.
She was a bit bewildered at first.
But Ke Guan Meow’s subsequent action of throwing the ring instantly made her understand its intention in doing all this.
From Ke Guan Meow’s perspective, Ya Bao was just a pure Fire System Pet, and the only one who could chase it into the sky was Little Treasure Hunting Ghost. So, as long as it used the ring to hold Little Treasure Hunting Ghost back, it could escape successfully.
Brilliant… If it weren’t for the wrong timing, Qiao Sang would have almost applauded it.
Unfortunately, Ke Guan Meow did not guess that Ya Bao also possessed the Superpower System attribute.
“Ya Bao, use Superpower…”
Qiao Sang’s voice abruptly stopped, her expression blank, and she instinctively swallowed, looking at the scene before her.
Under the moonlight, all visible shadows in the alley twisted, as if they had come alive. Threads of pitch black extended from them, like dark silk ribbons, shooting straight towards a shadow on the wall.
The black silk ribbons pulled hard, and Ke Guan Meow in mid-air was dragged by an invisible force, directly pulling it back down to the ground.
“Ke Guan?!!!”
I’ll add more tomorrow
