Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 203: it’s coming
However, if she didn’t call the police, being constantly watched by a Yu Beast Master whose background was unknown was quite unsettling.
Qiao Sang struggled internally; on one hand, there was a chance to contract Water Luyana, a Pet whose rarity was no less than a mythical beast, and on the other hand, her own safety.
Before Water Luyana was contracted, it was no exaggeration to say that no matter what Yu Beast Master knew of Water Luyana’s existence, they would use every trick in the book.
It would be fine if this Shui Di Chong’s Yu Beast Master was not high-level, but if he was, she was afraid she would easily encounter an accident.
If only she could contract Water Luyana right now…
Unfortunately, her yu beast codex didn’t have a third page yet, otherwise, a forceful contract wouldn’t be impossible.
Qiao Sang’s gaze lingered on the unconscious Shui Di Chong for a full minute, and then she understood.
Among the Thirty-Six Stratagems, the best is to attack the heart.
Firstly, there is a 99.99% chance that Shui Di Chong was contracted by a Yu Beast Master from Ancient Mist.
Secondly, if it was a Yu Beast Master from the Ancient Mist region, there was a high probability that they had discovered Water Luyana’s traces from the Ancient Mist region.
After all, Water Luyana and he both came from the Ancient Mist region.
It’s impossible that Water Luyana had been in the pond behind the courtyard all along, and a Yu Beast Master from the Ancient Mist region, thousands of miles away, could find this place so precisely.
If this logic is followed, this person can basically be confirmed as the culprit who made Water Luyana escape from the Ancient Mist region to the Yuhua region.
Comparing her with someone who caused it to flee a thousand miles, even a fool would know which one to choose.
“Ding-dong…”
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Qiao Sang snapped out of her thoughts and picked up her phone to check the time.
3:44 AM.
Someone ringing the doorbell at this hour, it was just too… exciting!
“Xiao Xunbao~”
The Little Treasure Hunting Ghost heard the doorbell and floated over with a curious expression, wanting to see.
Qiao Sang called out to it in time: “Don’t go, the person who came is very likely this Shui Di Chong’s Yu Beast Master, I think they mean no good.”
“Xun!”
The Little Treasure Hunting Ghost widened its eyes and quickly floated to the side of Ya Bao, who was still sound asleep, and called out.
Ya Bao did not react.
“Xiao Xunbao!”
The Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s voice grew louder.
“Ya…”
Ya Bao seemed to be having a sweet dream, its mouth stretched into a grin, and drool flowed out.
“Xiao Xunbao!”
Seeing this, the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost wanted to put down the Shui Di Chong in its paw and use the same method it used to pinch its Yu Beast Master’s nose to wake up Ya Bao.
Qiao Sang then said: “Go to the pond and try to wake up Water Luyana, tell it not to come out, and bring Shui Di Chong with you so Water Luyana can see it, but be careful not to let Shui Di Chong wake up.”
“Xun?”
The Little Treasure Hunting Ghost tilted its head, not quite understanding.
“Shui Di Chong’s Yu Beast Master is probably here for Water Luyana, go and give it a heads-up,” Qiao Sang explained.
“Xiao Xunbao!”
The Little Treasure Hunting Ghost nodded vigorously, indicating it understood, then grabbed Shui Di Chong with both paws and floated towards the courtyard.
“Ding-dong… Ding-dong…”
The doorbell was still ringing.
Qiao Sang picked up her phone, put on her slippers, and went to the visual doorbell’s monitor screen to look.
A man wearing a black suit, with a plump build, long narrow eyes, and thick lips appeared on the monitor; it was none other than the security guard from the day before yesterday whom she felt was a bit off.
It seems her intuition was quite accurate…
…
Li Songhai stood at the door, somewhat anxious.
Not being able to summon Shui Di Chong back made him very uneasy.
He had inquired about the person living in room 1705 the day before yesterday.
It was just an underage girl who had recently moved in, seemingly having contracted two Pets, which were probably the two he saw the day before yesterday.
He had some understanding of the Pets in the Yuhua region, but those two Pets from the day before yesterday were truly uncommon; he couldn’t even name their species.
However, looking at the appearance of those two Pets, he had some idea in his mind.
The red and white furred canine Pet clearly belonged to the Fire-type; that kind of ‘do not approach strangers’ look, appearing like it would explode at any moment, was simply a typical representative of Fire-type Pets.
As for the other gray Pet with a yellow ring and a scar on its face, he was not so sure.
Superpower System, Evil-type, and Ghost-type were all possible.
Li Songhai first ruled out Ghost-type Pets.
Although that Pet looked quite like a Ghost-type at first glance, a little thought would reveal that most Yu Beast Masters would not contract a Ghost-type Pet for their first three contract slots, and for such a young child, especially a girl, it was even less likely.
Next, he ruled out Evil-type Pets; it was also quite rare for students in school to contract Evil-type Pets.
Finally, the remaining Superpower Pets were deeply loved by the vast majority of Yu Beast Masters, especially families with strength; their children mostly preferred Superpower Pets.
Therefore, there was a high probability that the gray Pet with the ring was a Superpower Pet.
As Li Songhai analyzed it this way, his anxiety grew.
He couldn’t figure out what in this house could prevent him from summoning Shui Di Chong back.
The unknown is always the most frightening.
Li Songhai was now solely preoccupied with Shui Di Chong’s matter, and whether Water Luyana was inside or not no longer concerned him as much.
After all, if a Pet that has already been contracted suffers any accident, it will also cause a certain degree of damage to the Yu Beast Master’s own brain region.
The brain region is something a Yu Beast Master cannot be careless about in the slightest.
If there really was something inside, he would just expose his identity and summon his initial Pet.
Just as Li Songhai was lost in thought.
A girl’s voice came from the microphone.
“Who are you?” Although she knew who the other party was, Qiao Sang still pretended to ask in a rather bad tone.
Anyone woken up by a doorbell at this hour couldn’t possibly be in a good mood.
Li Songhai’s face lit up with joy, and he quickly replied: “Hello, I’m the security guard of the community, we met the day before yesterday. It’s like this, one of my Pets accidentally walked into this house, could you let me in to look for it?”
Qiao Sang asked knowingly: “Why don’t you just summon it back?”
“That’s the problem, I can’t summon it back,” Li Songhai replied.
“Can’t summon it back?” Qiao Sang’s voice suddenly rose: “Are you kidding me?! How can a Pet not be summoned back?”
Li Songhai suppressed the urge to break down the door and said, “Really, I’m not lying to you.”
Qiao Sang listened distractedly, her peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of a puddle of water on the ground beside her, and her eyes instantly lit up.
Well, finally, I’ve been waiting for you!
At this moment, Xiao Xunbao floated over, holding the still unconscious Shui Di Chong.
“Xiao Xunbao…”
The Little Treasure Hunting Ghost floated in front of its Yu Beast Master, shaking its head with a helpless expression.
Although it had woken up Water Luyana, that guy simply wouldn’t listen to advice; it was told to stay in the pond, but it insisted on coming out.
“It’s okay,” Qiao Sang said, stroking the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s head, “You did very well.”
Water Luyana was very cautious and wouldn’t easily trust people; if told to stay, it would definitely do the opposite and come out to see for itself.
Sure enough, it came over.
