Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 80: Back Home

At this moment, Song Yuan, who had finished looking at the photos nearby, walked over and said, “Ya Bao is really good! Its camera presence and cooperation are excellent.”

Fire Fang Dog wore an expression that said, “Of course.”

Everything was for it and its little brother to eat and drink their fill, so naturally, it had to be serious.

Before Qiao Sang could say a few humble words, Song Yuan continued, “Remember to send me your Hyperblog account later. I’ll have the online store follow you. When the photos are selected, remember to post them.”

Hyperblog was similar to Weibo in her previous life; trending topics were mostly viewed there.

Qiao Sang nodded. This was already a clause written in the contract.

“Oh, and remember to certify your account as the Bai Xin Competition champion,” Song Yuan reminded her.

“Okay,” Qiao Sang nodded.

Song Yuan glanced at Fire Fang Dog and Little Treasure Hunting Ghost, finally unable to resist asking again, “Have you decided which training institution you’ll go to this summer?”

Most ambitious middle school graduates who have just contracted a Pet and want to get a head start before entering high school will typically semi-entrust or fully entrust their Pets to specialized training institutions.

However, this would significantly weaken the bond with their Pet, which is a serious issue for new Yu Beast Masters whose contract time is not long.

Especially when the contracted Pet is a Fire-type Pet with a bad temper.

Song Yuan felt that since Qiao Sang now had two Pets, she would most likely entrust Fire Fang Dog to an institution.

She was preparing to remind her, out of kindness.

“Training institution? No, I’m planning to go back to Qiao Sang’s Old Home for the summer,” Qiao Sang replied.

Song Yuan: “…”

She had overthought it…

After leaving Jin Yu Building, Qiao Sang took Little Treasure Hunting Ghost along to the Yu Beast Center to register its household.

Throughout the process, passersby frequently turned their heads, making her the most eye-catching person in the hall.

The last time she brought Fire Fang Dog, she didn’t get this kind of treatment.

Qiao Sang considered herself a low-key person.

But Fire Fang Dog liked to stay outside.

And Little Treasure Hunting Ghost had just been born; it would be too heartless to make it stay inside the yu beast codex.

Under everyone’s gaze, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s household registration was finally settled.

July 8th.

9:20 AM.

Qiao Sang, carrying a bag, set off with Fire Fang Dog and Little Treasure Hunting Ghost on the road back to Qiao Sang’s Old Home.

Qi Tang Town is not far from Hanggang City, only about 90 kilometers away. It takes only half an hour by high-speed rail, which is even faster than traveling within Hanggang City.

Now that she had money, Qiao Sang, with a grand gesture, bought two seated tickets.

On the high-speed rail.

Fire Fang Dog and Little Treasure Hunting Ghost sat by the window.

Their two little heads were close together, excitedly looking at the scenery outside, occasionally pointing at a certain view with their paws and engaging in a lively discussion.

Watching them, Qiao Sang inexplicably felt a sense of peacefulness.

The relationship between the two Pets was much more harmonious than she had expected.

She had thought that given Fire Fang Dog’s wariness towards Ghost-type Pets, it would take a long time for it to accept Little Treasure Hunting Ghost.

She hadn’t expected their relationship to progress by leaps and bounds in just two nights.

Just as she took out her phone to open the camera and take a back shot of her two Pets, her phone vibrated in her hand.

She glanced at it, not surprised, and answered, “Hello, Mom.”

This was the third call since her mother left for work that morning.

“Where are you?”

“Just got on the train, about 7 or 8 minutes ago.”

Qiao Sang knew why her mother was calling so frequently.

Even though her mother didn’t say it, she was probably still worried about Qiao Sang contracting a second Pet, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost.

If it weren’t for work, she might have stayed with her in Qiao Sang’s Old Home for a few days.

“Remember to feed Treasure Hunting Ghost a bottle of milk every three hours, don’t forget,” her mother said. “Also, I put a bag of hongfan fruit in your bag. If Fire Fang Dog gets hungry on the way, remember to give it some.”

“Mom, you’ve said that several times already,” Qiao Sang said helplessly.

After a moment of silence, her mother’s voice came through the phone.

“Ahem, do you still remember Aunt Wang from next door?”

Qiao Sang thought for a long time before remembering who her mother was talking about.

Aunt Wang, who had known her mother since childhood and could be considered to have grown up together, their relationship had faded after they each got married.

They only gathered during Chinese New Year, and their conversations were mostly about their children.

They were similar in age, and their children were also around the same age.

But every time they finished talking, her mother would be quite unhappy.

Because Qiao Sang was a poor student, while Aunt Wang’s son was an excellent student.

“I remember her, what about her?” Qiao Sang asked.

“I called Aunt Wang about you, and she didn’t believe it. If you have time, remember to take Fire Fang Dog and Treasure Hunting Ghost to her house for a visit.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

Before Qiao Sang could answer, her mother said again, “If you forget, never mind. I put some Hanggang specialties in Treasure Hunting Ghost’s ring. Remember to give them to Grandma and Third Aunt.”

“Okay,” Qiao Sang replied.

She glanced at Little Treasure Hunting Ghost.

It seemed her mother and Little Treasure Hunting Ghost got along very well; she didn’t even know when her mother put them there…

“Oh, right, I think I bought a bit too much. Just give some to Aunt Wang for me,” her mother added immediately.

Qiao Sang: “…”

Qi Tang Town is located in Jiajin County, under the jurisdiction of Hanggang City.

Although it belongs to Hanggang City, the number of Yu Beast Masters here has sharply decreased.

Naturally, the proportion of Yu Beast Masters in towns is not as high as in cities, and whenever someone in the town awakens as a Yu Beast Master, they are more willing to choose to develop in more prosperous areas.

The Yu Beast Masters who remain in the town generally fall into three categories.

Either they haven’t made much progress in Yu Beast training, or they are older and have returned home for a peaceful life.

Another type is Yu Beast Masters who have passed the local civil service exam.

Qiao Sang’s cousin, Ye Ranran, was the last type.

As soon as she got off the high-speed rail and exited the station, Qiao Sang saw a beautiful woman with honey-colored skin walking towards her, accompanied by a Wind Sculpture about two meters tall.

The Wind Sculpture’s feathers were blue and white, its tail was fan-shaped, and the white feathers at the tail tips gleamed brightly in the sunlight.

Its wings were exceptionally wide, and its eyes were extremely sharp. Its speed could be considered outstanding among Flying-type Pets of the same rank.

The Wind Sculpture in front of her was well-built, and a work ID card hung around its neck.

Unnoticed, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost stared blankly at the feathers on the Wind Sculpture’s tail.

“If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it. I didn’t expect you could really contract two Pets, and they’re Fire Fang Dog and Treasure Hunting Ghost,” Ye Ranran exclaimed.

Without even asking, Qiao Sang knew this news came from her dear mother.

“Today isn’t a weekend, is it? How do you have time to come?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Don’t even get me started. My colleague introduced me to her nephew, and everyone was cheering me on. The leader passed by, heard it, and approved my leave for a blind date,” Ye Ranran said.

“It’s still early now, you probably haven’t gone yet, right? Have you seen the photos? How do you feel about them?” Qiao Sang asked.

While she was teasing, she was thinking about something else.

Her cousin worked at the local public security bureau as a grassroots police officer.

The fact that the leader approved her leave so easily indirectly indicated that local public order should be fine…

As the two were talking, Little Treasure Hunting Ghost floated leisurely in front of the Wind Sculpture, took off its ring, and skillfully pulled out a bottle of milk from inside, offering it.

The first to notice this movement was Fire Fang Dog.
