Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 259: Treasure Hunter

It was two days faster than she expected. It seems Little Treasure Hunting Ghost caught a lot of ants today, Qiao Sang thought to herself before directly adding the Points after the level to [Beginner (992 / 1000) +].

Now that Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s Hypnosis has also reached Profound Meaning, it’s time to prepare for evolution.

“Xun!”

At the same time, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost, who was searching for ants in the courtyard, suddenly felt the energy in its body surge and increase.

Before Little Treasure Hunting Ghost could think more, it suddenly caught sight of an ant slowly passing by on the ground not far away.

“Xun!”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost immediately cried out excitedly.

Found you!

The next day.

In the courtyard.

Qiao Sang held her phone and recorded Little Treasure Hunting Ghost.

“Xun!”

In the video, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s head suddenly occupied the entire screen.

“Don’t get so close. Just keep doing your thing,” Qiao Sang said, moving Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s head, which was pressing against the camera, to the side.

“Xun?”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost tilted its head.

What is this being filmed?

“My premonition tells me you’ll evolve today, so I want to record your current appearance so I can look back at it later,” Qiao Sang explained.

Evolve?! Today?!

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost was stunned for a moment, then showed an excited expression and happily spun around in mid-air.

The next second, it teleported in front of Ya, who was preparing to use Mars Rain.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

“Ya!”

Ya was startled, and the energy it had just gathered in its body dissipated from the fright.

“Ya Ya!”

Ya looked at Little Treasure Hunting Ghost, and just as it was about to act like an elder and lecture it, it suddenly remembered what Little Treasure Hunting Ghost had said earlier.

“Ya?”

Ya’s eyes widened immediately, showing an expression of “Really?”.

“Xun!”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost nodded solemnly.

Absolutely true!

What its Yu Beast Master said could never be wrong!

“Ya Ya!”

Ya used its psychic power to control Little Treasure Hunting Ghost to come in front of it, and mimicking how Qiao Sang usually patted its head, it patted Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s head with its paw.

Not bad, kid, you’re actually going to evolve!

“Xun!”

After being patted twice, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost teleported to the side and pouted.

Big brother, your paws are covered in dirt, don’t you know?

Before Ya could react, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost teleported again to Water Luyana, who was backstroking in the pool, and started showing off.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Water Luyana opened its eyes, glanced at Little Treasure Hunting Ghost, and then closed them again, uninterested.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost, unwilling, repeated what it had just said.

“Lulu.”

Water Luyana didn’t even open its eyes, giving a perfunctory cry to express congratulations.

“Xun!”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s excitement largely disappeared.

Why is this guy so calm after hearing it’s going to evolve?

“Xun!”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost pouted and teleported back to its Yu Beast Master’s side.

What it didn’t know was that after it left, Water Luyana opened one eye and secretly peeked.

“What’s wrong?” Qiao Sang asked, seeing Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s mood was off.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost was still young after all and couldn’t hide anything, so it spilled everything that had just happened.

It couldn’t understand why Water Luyana could be so calm after hearing it was evolving.

Qiao Sang glanced in Water Luyana’s direction.

Water Luyana, who was secretly peeking, stiffened and quickly closed its eyes.

Qiao Sang withdrew her gaze and chuckled softly, “I can guarantee that when you evolve, Water Luyana will definitely not be as calm as it appears now.”

“Xun?”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost showed a puzzled expression.

Really?

“Really,” Qiao Sang smiled. “When you evolve, I’ll record its expression for you to see.”

Although she hadn’t spent as much time with Water Luyana as with Ya and Xiao Xunbao, she had come to understand Water Luyana’s personality pretty well during this time.

Water Luyana, this guy, besides showing a more obvious reaction when it comes to Ya, basically acts tsundere with a slight touch of arrogance in other matters.

“Xun~”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost covered its mouth and chuckled, nodding after hearing its Yu Beast Master’s words.

Qiao Sang held her phone in one hand and stroked Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s head with the other, saying gently, “Actually, whether Water Luyana is calm or not doesn’t really matter. Didn’t you originally want to evolve and become stronger so I could give back to you?”

“You did it, and that’s enough, isn’t it?”

“Xun!”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost stared blankly at its Yu Beast Master, remembering its original intention, remembering why it suddenly became so active in training.

“Xun!”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost nodded vigorously.

The next second, a white light suddenly enveloped Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s entire body.

Holy crap! Light of Evolution!

It’s evolving already?!

Isn’t it only morning?!

According to the Point bonus progress, it should have evolved in the evening!

Qiao Sang was a bit bewildered by Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s sudden evolution, but fortunately, she quickly recovered, adjusted her emotions, stepped back a few paces, found a perfect shooting angle, and started recording.

Ya quickly ran over to watch, while Water Luyana swam to the edge of the pool, its eyes shining, staring unblinkingly at Little Treasure Hunting Ghost.

Seeing Water Luyana’s reaction, Qiao Sang didn’t forget her promise to Little Treasure Hunting Ghost.

She silently turned on panorama mode and then zoomed in on Water Luyana’s location, giving it a facial close-up.

At this moment, the white light faded, and Qiao Sang quickly refocused the camera on Little Treasure Hunting Ghost.

The white light dispersed.

In the phone’s screen appeared a Pet with a small body, mostly gray, golden yellow pupils, hair like ghost fire swaying backward in the wind, the color of its hair tips matching its pupils, and two golden hoop earrings on each ear.

Perhaps the golden earrings and the domineering hairstyle added a touch of noble aura to the refreshed Xiao Xunbao.

But soon, this noble aura vanished without a trace.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao excitedly floated next to Qiao Sang and rubbed its face against hers.

“Wait a moment!”

Qiao Sang finished recording, put her phone in her pocket, and grabbed the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost next to her, holding it in front of her to examine it carefully.

“Xun?”

Xiao Xunbao blinked blankly.

“How do I feel like you’re half a size smaller than before you evolved?” Qiao Sang hesitated.

Logically, when a Treasure Hunting Ghost evolves into a Treasure Hunting Fairy, its size should be twice its original, but now Xiao Xunbao looks half a size smaller than when it was a Treasure Hunting Ghost.

And…

“Your hair color isn’t right either,” Qiao Sang was a bit stunned.

Regarding the evolved form of Treasure Hunting Ghost, Treasure Hunting Fairy, she had naturally done her research online beforehand.

Xiao Xunbao’s form and hairstyle were fine, just like the Treasure Hunting Fairy she saw online, but the color of its hair tips was not right.

Normal Treasure Hunting Fairy’s hair tips should be bronze-yellow, but Xiao Xunbao’s were a strikingly brilliant golden yellow in the sunlight.

This change is too cool!
