Beast Taming: Starting From Zero
Chapter 816: True and false (two in one)
Aodinihi’s heart skipped a beat, but on the surface, he pretended not to understand anything as he went to the sofa, continuing to eat snacks and watch TV.
Qiao Sang speculated, “Aodinihi is an Illusion Beast, so maybe some situations are different.”
Aodinihi’s ears perked up, quite pleased with that statement.
Pilit was silent for a moment. “Perhaps.”
The reason Illusion Beasts are Illusion Beasts is that they indeed have many unique qualities compared to other Pets. He had also never interacted with other Illusion Beasts and didn’t know the specific situation, especially since this was a Super Dormant Star Illusion Beast, and the Imperial Beast Academy had no related literature.
Besides the reason that it needed a period of time before it could predict again, he couldn’t understand why Aodinihi agreed to stay here for a while.
Aodinihi heard that the human who returned was no longer suspicious, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the other human with a slightly more satisfied gaze.
Thanks to her…
At this moment, Qiao Sang asked, “Teacher, are there any items or energy materials that can shorten Aodinihi’s prediction time?”
She didn’t mind living under the same roof as Aodinihi; it was an honor for her to live with an Illusion Beast for a period. However, she would have to return to Blue Star after a while, and it would be bad if Aodinihi was still in its prediction cooldown during that time.
How could I possibly know that? I didn’t even know that Aodinihi needed a period of time before it could make its next prediction… Pilit said seriously, “Anything related to Illusion Beasts is not that easy to obtain. The most important thing for you right now is to train and study well. I will help look after Aodinihi, and once it fully recovers and can predict, I will tell you immediately.”
He paused, then continued,
“During this period, I want to stay here to better look after Aodinihi, and I’m worried that those people might come looking again.”
Upon hearing the last sentence, Qiao Sang immediately said, “I have plenty of empty rooms here, pick any one you like.”
Seeing her agreement, Pilit didn’t waste any time and immediately had Newdi Kaka use Space Movement to return to the hotel and check out.
“Didi…”
Aodinihi felt a bit complicated. Although that human had saved him, he seemed to have a good head on his shoulders and would manage this and that, so he didn’t really want to stay with him.
Maybe I should leave earlier after I finish playing the flute…
Just as he was thinking, Qiao Sang opened the refrigerator, took out the yellow fruit inside, placed it on a plate, and brought it over, saying,
“This is a Digestion Fruit; it can help with digestion. Have some.”
Aodinihi looked down at the Digestion Fruit and nodded.
Qiao Sang turned and returned to her room.
“Didi…”
Aodinihi put down the potato chips, picked up a Digestion Fruit, and took a bite.
Forget it, I’ll just stay here for a while longer…
…
Room.
Qiao Sang sat cross-legged on the bed, resuming Meditation.
“Xiao Xunbao!”
Xiao Xunbao, brimming with confidence, felt a sense of security well up when he saw his Yu Beast Master return, and he issued a battle invitation to Lu Bao.
Qiao Sang couldn’t help but open her eyes and remind him, “You need to think carefully. Lu Bao might not be willing to heal you again then.”
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Xiao Xunbao immediately cowered, whimpering to indicate that he hadn’t said anything.
“Ice Ai.”
Lu Bao glanced at Xiao Xunbao, flicked her tail, and walked out of the room.
“Yaya?”
Ya Bao stared intently at Xiao Xunbao, yapping to ask if he could show him the Pressure now.
Seeing that the matter wasn’t over, Qiao Sang had to stop Meditation and continue to watch.
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Facing Big Brother Ya Bao’s gaze, Xiao Xunbao’s recently boosted confidence instantly dwindled.
He glanced at his Yu Beast Master, gathered his courage, and began to build up his aura.
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Xiao Xunbao’s eyes gradually sharpened.
The window behind him was closed, but the curtains began to flutter as if stirred by an invisible wind.
“Yaya…”
Ya Bao carefully felt it, then his expression relaxed, he flicked his tail, turned, and walked out of the room to continue training in the outdoor area.
What was that? That was Pressure? He thought it would be much more impressive.
“Xiao Xunbao!”
Xiao Xunbao felt Ya Bao’s attitude, puckered his mouth, and began to throw himself into his Yu Beast Master’s arms, crying bitterly.
Big Brother Ya Bao looked down on him!
Qiao Sang patiently comforted him:
“That’s because your Pressure is still in its early stages, at a low level. When the Pressure level is high, Ya Bao will definitely feel the Pressure.”
“Xiao Xunbao?”
Xiao Xunbao looked up, with a “really?” expression.
“Of course, it’s true.” Qiao Sang remembered the topic that Xiao Xunbao had sidetracked earlier and asked again, “Do you feel that you’re a little different somewhere now?”
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Xiao Xunbao wiped away a tear, felt himself, and shook his head.
No.
“I’m talking about Pressure.” Qiao Sang asked more specifically, “Do you feel your Pressure has gotten a little stronger?”
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Xiao Xunbao first paused, then began to seriously feel it.
After about ten seconds, he shook his head.
No.
Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and said, “After you challenged Ya Bao, your Pressure did indeed increase, but it might not have been a significant increase, so you couldn’t feel it.”
Xiao Xunbao’s eyes lit up at the words, then he seemed to think of something and drooped.
“Xiao Xunbao…”
If he had to challenge Big Brother Ya Bao every time to improve his Pressure, then this move wasn’t worth practicing…
Qiao Sang: “…”
“Do you remember last time in the wild, when Teacher Pilit’s Fa Miao E stood still and did nothing, yet directly knocked out all the wild Pets?” Qiao Sang asked.
“Xiao Xunbao!”
Xiao Xunbao nodded vigorously.
Of course, he remembered; that move was simply too cool!
“That’s Pressure,” Qiao Sang said.
“Xiao Xunbao?!”
Xiao Xunbao’s eyes widened, somewhat disbelieving that move was actually the same as his own Pressure.
Qiao Sang saw Xiao Xunbao’s expression and knew he was interested in training Pressure again. She couldn’t help but smile, “When your Pressure is trained to the later stages, it will also have this effect.”
“Xiao Xunbao!”
Xiao Xunbao recalled the scene from back then. Thinking that he could also be like that in the future, he instantly perked up, clenched his fists, and let out a determined cry.
He was going to find Big Brother Ya Bao for another fight right now!
“Wait…”
Before Qiao Sang could finish speaking, Xiao Xunbao disappeared from sight again.
…
Forget it, at least his courage is indeed strengthening… Qiao Sang closed her eyes and began Meditation.
At this moment, her phone vibrated.
Qiao Sang opened her eyes, checked it, and found that someone had specifically @ her in the Beast Taming Department class group.
[Skylark: # ChapterIllusion Beast Aodinihi Suspected to Appear at 30th District Airport# Chapter]
[Skylark: # ChapterPet Tamer Celebrity Tournament Champion Qiao Sang Suspected to Appear at 30th District Airport# Chapter]
[Skylark: Ahhh! I read these two news articles, and they were reported at the same time. Did you see Aodinihi at the airport then! @Qiao Sang]
Finally, they’re going to connect me with Aodinihi… Qiao Sang wasn’t particularly surprised by this.
To be honest, she had actually prepared herself mentally in advance.
Not to mention that there were so many people present at the time, and certainly some of them recognized her, the most important thing was that there was also a group of people who had been eyeing Aodinihi.
They knew Aodinihi was in Xiao Xunbao’s ring, but now that she was in the First District, it wasn’t convenient for them to openly snatch it, so they thought of releasing the news, then having everyone watch her, and then forcing her to hand over Aodinihi voluntarily… Qiao Sang fantasized while clicking on the news article # ChapterIllusion Beast Aodinihi Suspected to Appear at 30th District Airport# Chapter.
[Recently, the 30th District Airport Barrier suddenly malfunctioned, and wild Pets launched an attack. Security personnel bravely resisted and successfully repelled a wave of wild Pets. However, the Barrier cracked again, and under a mysterious flute sound, the wild Pets retreated. According to Professor Fergus Mueller’s analysis, this mysterious flute sound was played by the Illusion Beast Aodinihi and has the effect of dispelling hostility and calming emotions.]
So it was judged by the flute sound… Qiao Sang closed the news, returned to the chat page, typed, and sent:
[I went there after receiving news that Aodinihi was in the 30th District. Not only did I encounter him, but Aodinihi also held the Ghost Ring King hostage, and then he disappeared. The flute sound at the airport should have been played by him; I saw him holding a flute.]
As soon as this message was sent, the group instantly exploded:
[Strongest Pet Tamer: Oh my goodness! Aodinihi! You actually saw Aodinihi! I’m so jealous! I, a native Super Dormant Star person, have never seen our Illusion Beast even once!]
[Always Sleepy: I don’t believe it, unless there’s a picture.]
[Zach: Quickly say you’re messing with us!]
[Dorothy: I’m about to burst! Since Qiao Sang has already said it, there shouldn’t be any problem if I speak now. I saw the photo of Aodinihi holding the Ghost Ring King hostage! I can guarantee with my character that there are no traces of Photoshop!]
The rest of the people started bubbling up.
Qiao Sang exited the chat interface, opened Xingtong, logged into her account, and uploaded the photo of Xiao Xunbao being held hostage by Aodinihi, with the caption:
[Encountered Illusion Beast Aodinihi]
Rather than letting others come knocking, it’s better to mix truth and falsehood in her words, making everyone think she just encountered Aodinihi in the 30th District.
…
First District.
In a private villa in a prime location.
Aogefu frowned, “Has Fuan Li not been released yet?”
“No,” Chen Shu said in a deep voice. “The situation is a bit serious this time; the 30th District side refuses to release him.”
Lieao, who had been scrolling on his phone nearby, suddenly saw something and laughed, “I didn’t expect Qiao Sang’s Ghost Ring King to have been held hostage by Aodinihi.”
Saying that, he flipped the screen over.
Aogefu’s mouth twitched when he saw the photo on the screen.
At that time, his attention was entirely on Aodinihi, so he hadn’t expected Qiao Sang to actually have the presence of mind to take a photo in that situation.
Suddenly, Chen Shu asked,
“Is Aodinihi really not with Qiao Sang anymore?”
“It should be correct.” Aogefu picked up the wine glass in front of him, took a gulp, and said, “Fuan Li heard it with his own ears, and I also had someone analyze it. The flute sound that appeared at the airport then was played by Aodinihi. This Aodinihi is General-level, and the Ghost Ring King is only a General-level Pet. The ring can’t hold Aodinihi.”
“Alright,” Lieao said while liking the content Qiao Sang sent, “Not only did we not catch Aodinihi, but we also offended a monstrous Yu Beast Master who has Healing Light.”
Aogefu glanced at him.
Lieao felt the gaze, looked up, and his expression instantly stiffened. He quietly put away his phone and stopped chattering.
Chen Shu asked, “What did that person say?”
“Teacher is still in the 30th District looking for Aodinihi. Once I resolve things here, I will also go over,” Aogefu said calmly.
Chen Shu was silent for a moment, then changed the topic:
“Should we send Qiao Sang a gift to ease the relationship?”
“No need.” Aogefu put down his wine glass and said indifferently, “She is not from our Super Dormant Star after all, and she’s not the only Yu Beast Master with Healing Light.”
He paused, then sneered, “Besides, if you had already obtained Aodinihi and someone tried to snatch him from you like that, causing Aodinihi to leave, would you forgive them?”
Chen Shu stopped talking.
…
7:35 PM.
Liu Yao and Pilit were chatting happily in the kitchen.
Aodinihi was eating snacks at the dining table.
Ya Bao and Lu Bao were training in the outdoor area.
Steel Treasure was helping set the table while controlling his clones to train.
Xiao Xunbao was completely frozen in ice, lying peacefully on the sofa.
“Dinner time!” Liu Yao called out.
Dinner time was usually around 6 PM.
However, an Illusion Beast arrived yesterday, and a teacher from the Imperial Beast Academy arrived today. Liu Yao was in a great mood and specially prepared a few extra dishes, which is why it took until now.
Qiao Sang heard the sound, put down her book, walked out of her room, and saw Xiao Xunbao frozen in ice, looking peaceful, which made her mouth twitch.
It seemed Xiao Xunbao had gone to challenge Lu Bao again just now…
Perhaps it was because his Pressure had become stronger, but Xiao Xunbao was fighting with increasing courage and becoming bolder and bolder. He was either challenging Ya Bao or on his way to challenge Lu Bao. However, later on, he challenged Lu Bao more often.
Qiao Sang guessed it was probably because Lu Bao’s skills didn’t hurt as much as Ya Bao’s…
At this moment, Ya Bao and Lu Bao walked in.
“Ice Ai…”
Seeing her Yu Beast Master there, Lu Bao didn’t wait for her to speak. A blue light shone from her forehead, illuminating Xiao Xunbao’s body, and she actively began Healing him.
“Xiao Xunbao~”
The ice shell melted, and Xiao Xunbao was resurrected on the spot.
He saw Lu Bao and, unafraid of death, yelped, indicating he wanted to fight another three hundred rounds!
“Ice Ai.”
A biting chill emanated from Lu Bao, and the temperature in the entire living room plummeted.
Qiao Sang quickly mediated:
“Let’s eat first.”
“Ice Ai.”
The chill on Lu Bao’s body dissipated. She no longer paid attention to Xiao Xunbao and went to the dining table to eat Energy Pills.
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Seeing this, Xiao Xunbao finally settled down, came to the dining table, and also started eating.
“Your Pets all seem to get along quite well,” Pilit said as he brought out the last few dishes.
Qiao Sang remembered the scenes of Ya Bao and the others interacting daily and smiled, “Yes, they all get along quite well.”
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Xiao Xunbao paused in his eating when he heard this, and glanced in Lu Bao’s direction.
He wondered if she was angry that he had challenged her so many times today…
Lu Bao felt the gaze and glanced back.
“Xiao Xunbao…”
Xiao Xunbao quickly grinned in a fawning manner.
“Ice Ai.”
Lu Bao flicked her tail and yelped, indicating that he should eat more, he was so weak.
Xiao Xunbao: “…”
