Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 199: Water Slug
Coming all the way from the Ancient Mist region to the Yuhua region to be a security guard, and coincidentally working in a community with Water Luyana, made it difficult not to connect the two.
It wasn’t that Qiao Sang didn’t believe in coincidences; it was just that, combined with the subtle expressions of that gentleman earlier, her intuition told her that this security guard from the Ancient Mist region was not simple.
Of course, intuition is a mysterious thing, and without concrete evidence, Qiao Sang couldn’t determine if this person was problematic, but she did keep an eye on him.
Upon returning home, Ya Bao immediately went to the courtyard to begin his Fire Fang skill release training. The proficiency of Fire Fang was already nearing its peak, and it was estimated that it would reach the Profound Meaning realm soon.
Little Treasure Hunting Ghost wasn’t idle either; it floated over to the virtual helmet and put it on itself.
This made Qiao Sang, who had just entered the door and wanted to lie down on the bed, feel a bit unable to do so.
Her two Pets were both working hard, so how could she only think about resting!
Qiao Sang went to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and thought about getting something to eat while reading later.
But as soon as she opened it, looking at the refrigerator filled with various fruits, vegetables, and drinks, Qiao Sang couldn’t help but let her thoughts wander.
With so much food at home, and her leaving a bottle of milk for Water Luyana every day before she left, would it really abandon what was close and easy to go to the neighbor’s to steal White Glutinous Fruits?
White Glutinous Fruits could help Pets recover from paralysis, but they didn’t seem to have much appeal to Water-type Pets without abnormal statuses.
After a moment of thought, Qiao Sang suddenly realized a problem.
Others only said they saw a blue Pet that stole two White Glutinous Fruits run into her house; they didn’t say the Pet that stole the items was Water Luyana…
Thinking of this, Qiao Sang took a bottle of milk from the refrigerator and went to the courtyard.
“Ya!”
Ya Bao saw Qiao Sang, immediately dispelled the newly condensed Fire Fang, and wagged its tail as it ran over.
“Ya Ya!”
Ya Bao noticed the milk in its Yu Beast Master’s hand and happily barked twice.
Is this for it?!
No… Qiao Sang smiled, opened the milk, and handed it over: “It’s a bit cold, don’t drink it all at once.”
“Ya!”
Ya Bao nodded, sat down halfway, and took the milk with its paw.
Qiao Sang smiled as she watched Ya Bao hold the milk and squint its eyes with each sip. She turned around, went to the kitchen refrigerator, and got another bottle of milk before returning to the courtyard.
Before she had even walked two steps towards the pond, she heard Ya Bao bark at her.
“Ya!”
Turning her head, she saw Ya Bao looking at her with wet eyes, holding an empty milk bottle in its paw.
Qiao Sang hesitated, then opened the milk in her hand again and handed it over.
When she took the milk to the courtyard for the third time, Ya Bao was sitting in place, holding the second empty bottle of milk it had finished. It didn’t bark, just wagged its tail and looked over with wet eyes, full of trust, as if it believed the milk in its Yu Beast Master’s hand was definitely for it.
Goodness, who could resist this… Qiao Sang struggled for two seconds, but in the end, she still walked towards Ya Bao with the bottle of milk.
“Ya Ya.”
After taking the milk, Ya Bao remembered its Yu Beast Master’s words and didn’t drink the milk all at once, but finished it in two sips.
“Do you want to drink more?” This time, Qiao Sang was smarter and knew to ask first.
“Ya Ya.”
Ya Bao thought for a moment and shook its head.
It needed to train.
Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief, but when she took the milk to the courtyard for the fourth time, Ya Bao stopped training and looked over with an expression of “I can’t do anything with you.”
“Ya Ya.”
Didn’t you say you weren’t going to drink anymore?
Qiao Sang: “…”
…
After clarifying with Ya Bao, Qiao Sang went to the pond and set the milk down.
“Did you go out today?”
There was no movement in the pond.
Qiao Sang wasn’t surprised and continued speaking to herself: “When I came back just now, the community security guard told me that a blue Pet stole two White Glutinous Fruits from next door and ran into my place.”
“I don’t think it was you, but did you see any suspicious Pets run in?”
“Oh, and a new security guard arrived two days ago, also from the Ancient Mist region. He wouldn’t be here for you, would he?”
“Actually, the bottle of milk I left this morning, Ya Bao peed in it…”
“Lulu!!!”
Water Luyana instantly jumped out of the pond, angrily barked at Qiao Sang, then turned and was about to charge at Ya Bao, who was training, looking ready for a fight to the death.
“Ya Ya!”
Ya Bao turned its head when it heard the commotion. Although it didn’t understand why, seeing Water Luyana’s fighting stance, it immediately assumed a posture and barked excitedly.
Bring it on! Who’s afraid of whom!
Seeing that Ya Bao and Water Luyana were about to clash, Qiao Sang quickly said, frightened: “I was just joking!”
“Lulu!”
Water Luyana barked, expressing doubt.
“I really was just joking! I was just seeing if you would come out. You drink milk every day, can’t you tell if the taste is different or not?” Qiao Sang was almost swearing to the heavens.
She just said it casually, who knew Water Luyana would be so agitated…
“Lulu! Lulu? Lulu! Lulu!!”
Water Luyana looked at Qiao Sang angrily and kept pointing at the milk on the side with its paw.
Qiao Sang looked at Water Luyana’s gesture towards the milk and explained again: “I’m really just joking with you, if you don’t believe me, ask Ya Bao.”
“Ya?”
Ya Bao’s expression was bewildered.
Ask what?
“Lulu!!”
Water Luyana became even more furious when it heard Qiao Sang’s words, picked up the milk with its paw, and forcefully placed it forward.
“Are you saying you never want to drink it again?” Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, guessing.
“Lulu!!!”
Water Luyana’s paws trembled with anger.
The more they communicated, the angrier Water Luyana became.
In the end, it was only through Ya Bao’s translation that Qiao Sang understood Water Luyana was saying it had never drunk the milk she gave it before.
Qiao Sang felt very exhausted.
If that were true, why would the milk be diluted with water every day for no reason?
Also, if it had never drunk it, why was it so agitated just now when she said Ya Bao had peed in yesterday’s milk?
Just drink it, what’s so hard to admit? So tsundere.
After complaining internally, Qiao Sang placed the milk in front of Water Luyana and said seriously: “Whether you drink it or not, I will leave a bottle for you every day.”
She had said that much, so it should be moved enough to want to immediately form a contract with her.
Water Luyana looked down at the milk, then tilted its head back, flicked its tail, and jumped into the pond, splashing water directly onto Qiao Sang’s face.
Qiao Sang: “…”
…
10:56 PM.
Qiao Sang lay on the bed, her consciousness withdrawing from the yu beast codex.
At the same time, in the security guard’s dormitory within the community.
The胖子 security guard Qiao Sang had encountered earlier staggered to a table filled with beer cans and kicked the man who was sprawled asleep on it.
“Old Xu, already drunk? Wake up quickly, let’s drink some more.”
The man lying on the table reeked of alcohol, his eyes closed, showing no reaction.
Seeing this, the胖子 security guard’s eyes immediately cleared, no longer looking drunk at all.
“You little rascal, trying to outdrink me? I’ll drink you under the table.”
As he spoke, a soft-bodied Pet, entirely blue with a flushed face, resembling a shell-less snail, its surface wet and appearing very viscous, crawled out from his collar.
“Shui Di Chong, let’s go again today. I refuse to believe we still can’t find that guy,” the胖子 security guard said, grabbing Shui Di Chong and holding it in front of his eyes.
“Di Di…” Shui Di Chong grinned, then closed its eyes and tilted its head.
“Damn it! How could you get drunk!”
The胖子 security guard exclaimed in shock.
