Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 238: Brain King

Water Luyana shot into the sky like a pillar of water, arcing gracefully through the air.

However, this was Water Luyana’s first time experiencing something like this. It didn’t control its momentum well, and the direction of the Water Jet suddenly turned downwards, dropping straight down from mid-air with a “whoosh.”

Water Luyana’s head plunged into the ground, leaving only the greater part of its body and tail exposed.

“Lulu!”

Water Luyana struggled desperately.

“Ya!”

Ya Bao ran over with an anxious expression.

Are you okay!

Ya Bao was a bit worried; this Pet was already old and did something like this. Would it cause any problems?

When Water Luyana heard Ya Bao’s voice, its body stiffened. Its tail stopped moving, and its limbs stopped struggling. Its head, buried underground, looked ashen.

Being so embarrassed in front of the Pet it liked, it felt it would rather stay buried than come out to face it.

However, before Water Luyana could continue to feel down, Ya Bao extended a claw and pulled it out of the ground like pulling a radish.

“Ya!”

Ya Bao leaned forward, looking at Water Luyana, whose head was covered in dirt, with concern.

“Lulu…”

Looking at Ya Bao up close, Water Luyana’s face instantly turned red, forgetting to continue thinking, and it turned and jumped into the pool.

“Ya?”

Ya Bao tilted its head, its face full of question marks.

Inside the room.

Qiao Sang finished her Meditation and slowly opened her eyes.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Ya Bao standing not far from the bed, half-crouching with a worried expression.

“Ya!”

Seeing that her Yu Beast Master had woken up, Ya Bao’s eyes lit up. It got up and went to Qiao Sang’s side, quickly recounting what had just happened.

Qiao Sang was stunned: “Water Luyana is staying in the water and not coming out?”

“Ya!”

Ya Bao nodded.

“Did something happen?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Ya…”

Ya Bao explained with a helpless expression.

Qiao Sang was confused: “You mean Water Luyana succeeded in learning Water Jet, but then it fell in the middle and very likely damaged its head?”

“Ya!”

Ya Bao nodded with a serious expression.

It thought this was very possible.

How could this be!

Water Luyana was already old and fell from the sky, hitting its head. It might speed up its demise!

Qiao Sang, anxious, got out of bed, put on her slippers, and was about to head to the courtyard.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

At this moment, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost suddenly appeared and blocked Qiao Sang’s path.

Qiao Sang moved left, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost moved left.

Qiao Sang moved right, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost moved right.

“What’s wrong?” Qiao Sang could only stop and ask.

“Xun!”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost raised its head, patted its chest, looking as if to say, “Trust me, you won’t go wrong.”

“Do you know what problem Water Luyana has?” Qiao Sang was startled.

“Ya?” Ya Bao was also startled.

“Xun~” Little Treasure Hunting Ghost nodded proudly.

It had been watching the whole time from the side, so it definitely wouldn’t guess wrong!

Qiao Sang: “…”

Didn’t it just hit its head? Besides a problem with its head, what else could be wrong?

Before Qiao Sang could speak, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost suddenly pulled out a phone from somewhere and skillfully operated it.

Soon, it searched for a video from the history and showed it to Qiao Sang.

This series of actions made Qiao Sang exclaim, “Good heavens.”

It played with the phone so well, even knew the lock screen password, and knew how to check history.

Amazing.

Qiao Sang lowered her head to look at the phone, and Ya Bao also leaned its head over with a curious expression.

The video on the phone was a preview of a recently released TV series that Qiao Sang had idly looked up online before school started.

When she was scrolling on her phone, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost was also by her side.

Qiao Sang looked at the video playing on the phone and was silent for a moment. She remembered that this TV series was about love and inspiration.

Because it was adapted from a novel, the plot had been pretty much spoiled by netizens in the comments section.

It told the story of two Yu Beast Masters who disliked each other since childhood, but one’s Green Ke Meow Meow fell in love with the other’s Sakuragi Cotton.

For its Yu Beast Master, Green Ke Meow Meow restrained itself and avoided Sakuragi Cotton, then became depressed.

Later, its Yu Beast Master found out about this and, for the happiness of its Pet, took the initiative to mend relations with its rival.

After various chaotic events, the two became good friends and even teamed up to participate in Yu Beast double battle competitions, going all the way from a small county to the regional Yu Beast double battle competition. The two Pets also ended up together, which was a standard perfect ending.

Qiao Sang found it difficult to connect the plot of this drama with Water Luyana’s situation at the moment.

The preview video had already shown the Pets’ scenes.

In the preview, the two protagonists were still in a hostile phase, engaging in a Yu Beast battle every time they met.

Sakuragi Cotton on the screen mercilessly used Leaf Blade, while Green Ke Meow Meow deliberately aimed its skill a little off, and Leaf Blade hit Green Ke Meow Meow.

After Green Ke Meow Meow fell, Sakuragi Cotton went forward to help it up, but Green Ke Meow Meow’s face turned red, it shook off Sakuragi Cotton’s paw, and ran away.

Before the preview could continue, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost pressed pause.

Qiao Sang looked up, utterly bewildered.

Ya Bao also raised its head, equally bewildered.

What does this have to do with Water Luyana’s situation? Qiao Sang felt her brain couldn’t process it.

“Xun!”

“Xiao Xunbao.”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Perhaps seeing the confusion in its Yu Beast Master’s eyes was too obvious, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost immediately played two roles, sometimes acting as Ya Bao, sometimes as Water Luyana, re-enacting the scene from the courtyard in front of Qiao Sang.

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment: “You mean Water Luyana likes Ya Bao.”

“Xun!”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost nodded firmly.

Qiao Sang turned to look at Ya Bao, who was still bewildered and didn’t understand what was going on.

Water Luyana likes Ya Bao, how is that possible?!

These two were clearly fighting at the drop of a hat not long ago.

Moreover, how old is Ya Bao? At most, it’s not even half a year old, and Water Luyana is already an elderly Pet. Could it be that Water Luyana likes to prey on younger ones?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Even with countless dramas watched, she wouldn’t dare to imagine this. Qiao Sang lifted her leg and walked towards the door, evading: “I’d better go check on Water Luyana’s head first.”

“Xun!”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost instantly teleported in front, blocking her way, and sincerely called out, indicating for Qiao Sang to trust it.

Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched slightly, and she said helplessly: “Then let Ya Bao try.”

“Ya?”

Ya Bao tilted its head.

Try what?

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said: “Just go ask Water Luyana if it’s willing to stay. If it stays, you two can always be together, but the premise is that it has to be contracted with me. After all, that way it’ll be convenient for us to go to other places later.”

After speaking, Qiao Sang turned to Little Treasure Hunting Ghost: “Xiao Xunbao, Ya Bao just said Water Luyana doesn’t want to come out. You can help out too.”

“Xun!” Little Treasure Hunting Ghost looked excited.

“Ya” Ya Bao, on the other hand, looked confused.

After Ya Bao and Little Treasure Hunting Ghost left, Qiao Sang sat on the bed and read a book.

She wouldn’t join the fun, lest Water Luyana spray her face with a Water Gun again.

Ya Bao’s failure was inevitable, but this was a good opportunity to let Water Luyana know that she intended to contract it and see what Water Luyana’s attitude was now.

Speaking of which, Water Luyana’s Water Jet was actually successfully released. When Ya Bao and the others returned, she still needed to go to the courtyard to check on Water Luyana’s head and, while she was at it, have it perform Water Jet.

“Lulu…”

Just as Qiao Sang’s thoughts were wildly flying, a voice pulled her back to reality.

Qiao Sang looked towards the source of the sound.

Water Luyana appeared by the bed, its face flushed, looking at her shyly.

Beside it were a bewildered Ya Bao and a Little Treasure Hunting Ghost whose face was practically screaming, “Praise me.”

“Lulu~”

Qiao Sang: “???”
