Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 266: It wasn’t you who did it, was it?
“Ya.”
Ya Bao’s eyes glowed blue, and she used her telekinesis to send Xiao Xunbao back, signaling it to train hard and not be lazy.
“Xun…”
Xiao Xunbao was momentarily stunned.
What about the acting we agreed on?
“Lulu!”
Water Luyana pointed at the tiles she had just arranged and called out to Xiao Xunbao.
Hurry up and train!
Xiao Xunbao: “…”
Qiao Sang watched silently from not far away, wondering if it was just her imagination, but she couldn’t shake the feeling of parents supervising their child’s studies.
That night, Xiao Xunbao furtively peeked outside like a thief, making sure Water Luyana wasn’t in the living room. Then, she turned to Ya Bao, pouting, and asked why she hadn’t cooperated with her acting.
“Ya?” Ya Bao looked confused.
“Xiao Xunbao!” Xiao Xunbao complained.
Just now in the courtyard!
“Ya.”
Ya Bao’s eyes widened. So that was acting.
Qiao Sang leaned against the headboard, putting down her book, and almost simultaneously with Ya Bao, she said, “So you were acting just now!”
“Xun.”
Xiao Xunbao’s body swayed, as if she had suffered a severe blow.
At this moment, Xiao Xunbao deeply doubted her own acting skills.
“Actually, there’s no rush,” Qiao Sang said. “We need to wait until Water Luyana’s Healing Light proficiency reaches Profound Meaning before we act it out for her. It’s still early. We’ll act in a few days.”
After speaking, she saw Xiao Xunbao still looking deeply disheartened, so she comforted her, “It’s a good thing no one could tell you were acting just now. Otherwise, if Water Luyana’s Healing Light hadn’t reached Profound Meaning and she had evolved just like that, it wouldn’t have been ideal.”
“Ya!”
Ya Bao nodded vigorously in agreement.
“Xun.”
Xiao Xunbao’s body swayed again.
Why does it feel even sadder?
Two-thirty in the morning, deep in the quiet night.
Xiao Xunbao, holding a phone, practiced various facial expressions in the unlit living room, mimicking the actors in the video.
Just then, Yang Du emerged from his room, yawning, to use the restroom.
He noticed the faint light downstairs and instinctively went to the railing, looking down. Suddenly, he shivered, his drowsiness completely gone.
The light from the phone screen shone on the face of the Treasure Hunting Fairy, which was several sizes smaller than its normal size, creating a very eerie atmosphere.
If it were just that, it would have been fine. He had encountered many Ghost-type Pets and wouldn’t be scared by that.
The problem was that this Treasure Hunting Fairy had a sad expression one second, but the next second its expression changed, and it grinned widely. The key was that it made no sound, just a pure, wide grin, which felt particularly like a horror movie come to life.
Yang Du hurried back to his room, no longer wanting to use the restroom.
Xiao Xunbao was practicing a solemn expression, mimicking the actor in the video, completely unaware that she had just extinguished someone’s desire to use the restroom.
The next day.
Qiao Sang arrived at the classroom. The top students, as always, were meditating.
After the morning self-study, a classmate in the class suddenly exclaimed, “Holy crap! Where’s my breakfast?!”
Everyone turned their gaze: “What’s wrong?”
“The breakfast I bought and put in my drawer is gone!”
The classmates didn’t believe him at all when they heard this.
“No way, why don’t you look again?”
“Did you not bring it to the classroom?”
“Maybe you remembered wrong?”
Only Qiao Sang stood still, a bad premonition rising in her heart.
She turned her head, covering half her face with her hand, and whispered, “It wasn’t you, was it?”
No one answered.
After about half a minute, the classmate who had said his breakfast was missing exclaimed again, “This is crazy, my breakfast is back!”
With that, he excitedly took the bag containing his breakfast out of the drawer and opened it. The next second, his expression instantly fell.
A mournful cry echoed through the classroom: “Who ate half of my breakfast?!”
On this day, all the students in the school received news: the Pet that had been stealing snacks from the third-year section yesterday had very likely moved on to the first-year section.
6:57 PM.
Qiao Sang was doing her homework in her room.
“Lulu.” Water Luyana flowed through the crack in the door, solidified into her original form, and nudged Qiao Sang with her paw.
Qiao Sang turned her head, startled, “You said Rain Prayer?”
“Lulu!”
Water Luyana nodded. She sat halfway on the ground, counting seriously on her paws.
It had been several days!
“Uh, I’ve thought of a way to learn Rain Prayer, but for now, we still need to spend most of our time practicing Healing Light,” Qiao Sang said.
“Lulu!”
Water Luyana put down her unfinished counting paws and nodded, indicating that it was no problem.
Qiao Sang put down her pen and led Water Luyana to a spot in the courtyard untouched by the Mars Rain, saying seriously, “To perform Rain Prayer, you must first transform clouds into dark clouds, and dark clouds are formed by the condensation of mist droplets. Your first task is to find a way to condense mist droplets.”
“Lulu?”
Water Luyana called out, asking what mist droplets were.
“Mist droplets are the tiny water droplets that make up mist,” Qiao Sang explained. “You can use Water Mist, which is also a type of mist, just in a different form. Now, try to gather and condense the Water Mist as much as possible to see if it can transform into mist droplets.”
“Lulu!”
Water Luyana nodded and immediately adjusted the energy within her body.
Soon, the surroundings were enveloped in a white, gauze-like mist, and the air became much more humid.
“Lulu.” Water Luyana attempted to condense the Water Mist.
Gradually, the mist grew denser in color, and the humidity in the air became heavier and heavier.
But very quickly, the mist dissipated.
“Not bad. It seems the training direction is correct. With more practice, it should be able to transform successfully,” Qiao Sang said with a smile.
“Lulu!” Water Luyana nodded vigorously. She thought so too!
“However, the most important thing right now is still practicing Healing Light. If you want to practice Rain Prayer, wait until Xiao Xunbao isn’t practicing Chop,” Qiao Sang reminded her.
Actually, once you evolve, you can practice whenever you want. Qiao Sang added silently, she wouldn’t dare say that in front of Water Luyana, for fear she would remember her tragic evolution conditions.
“Lulu!” Water Luyana showed an expression of “no problem.”
For the next six days, Ya Bao, Xiao Xunbao, and Water Luyana’s training continued to repeat.
However, one more item was added: sparring.
Originally, according to the existing schedule, there should have been no time for sparring except on weekends.
But to quickly increase Water Luyana’s Points, Qiao Sang could only speed up her homework, finishing it an hour earlier than usual.
There was no other way. With Water Luyana’s current training progress, without the boost from the Gold Finger, it would be very difficult for her Healing Light proficiency to reach Profound Meaning before evolving.
Hongying Pet Battle Club, Battle Training Room.
The sparring was nearing its end. Qiao Sang checked the time and called out, “Water Jet.”
The next moment, a Little Chubby Dove fell in front of Water Luyana.
“Lulu.”
Water Luyana flicked her tail and walked proudly to Qiao Sang’s side.
“Your Little Chubby Dove’s speed is decent, but its flight path is a bit too simple, making it easy for people to see through,” Qiao Sang pointed out the flaw.
The girl, who looked about 16 years old, was startled for a moment, then showed a surprised expression: “My Little Chubby Dove’s speed is decent, really?!”
Qiao Sang was silent for a while: “It’s decent among the same species.”
The girl: “.”
That evening, after Qiao Sang had washed up and was lying in bed in her room, her consciousness entered the yu beast codex. She turned to Water Luyana’s page and, as in the previous days, added Points to the end of Healing Light.
Soon, the data before her changed.
【Healing Light (Profound Meaning 10001/20000) +】
PS: I’ve had a fever these past two days, even reaching 40 degrees this morning. The fever broke in the afternoon and I felt a bit better, so I quickly wrote while I was still feeling okay, in case I suddenly got worse again.
