Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Chapter 893: Fairy Heart (two in one)

The contract was successful.

Qiao Sang felt the connection with Qingqingni, excited yet a little dazed.

The legendary Pet, was it successfully contracted just like that?

The crimson star array disappeared.

“Qingqing~”

Qingqingni smiled sweetly at her Yu Beast Master.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao happily floated around Qingqingni.

So well-behaved, so adorable… Qiao Sang was instantly captivated.

To be honest, regardless of its rarity, a Pet with such a personality was truly a dream Pet.

One must know that when a Yu Beast Master contracts a Pet, in addition to factors like attribute, racial limit, and talent, personality is also extremely important. Otherwise, when she was preparing to contract her first Pet, the online recommendations wouldn’t all have been for Pets with good personalities.

“Qingfeng.”

Lost in Qingqingni’s Charm, Qingfeng Yun Ren called out with a serious expression, indicating that it wanted her to go somewhere with it before leaving the Secret Realm.

“Steel Sword.”

Steel Treasure translated promptly.

Qiao Sang immediately said, “No problem!”

She had just contracted its child. Even if it now said to go to the Ice Snow Bird or Gu Yi Bird’s territory to Taunt them, saying something like “Wait for me in thirty years,” she would be willing to go.

Anyway, as long as she didn’t deliberately spend time pinpointing safe coordinates, with Xiao Xunbao’s current energy and proficiency in Space Movement, it should be able to successfully escape even in front of two Emperor-level Pets that don’t have a specific counter to Space Movement.

At worst, she’d be a bit disheveled when escaping…

“Qingfeng.”

Qingfeng Yun Ren called out, then transformed into Wind Transformation and led the way.

“Qingqing.”

Qingqingni immediately called out, transforming into Wind Transformation and disappearing from sight.

Due to the contract, Qiao Sang clearly sensed Qingqingni’s exact current location.

She quickly flipped onto Yabao’s back and began to give directions.

After traveling in the air for about an hour, Qingfeng Yun Ren finally drifted downwards.

Qiao Sang followed closely behind.

Qingfeng Yun Ren and Qingqingni landed in a quiet valley, appearing one after another.

“Qingfeng.”

Qingfeng Yun Ren called out, and then a heavy rumbling sound came.

Immediately, the intertwined trees slowly parted, revealing a not-so-small cave entrance.

Qiao Sang dismounted from Yabao, looked up at the trees, and found that these trees were also staring at her with open eyes.

They were the Tight Vine Treants she had seen in the 88th Secret Realm…

“Qingfeng.”

Just as Qiao Sang recognized them, Qingfeng Yun Ren called out, then floated into the cave.

“Qingqing~”

Qingqingni saw her Yu Beast Master staring at the Tight Vine Treants, thinking she was scared by these big guys. It couldn’t help but float over, smile sweetly, extend a claw, and grasp one of its Yu Beast Master’s fingers, then floated into the cave.

Holy cow, Qingqingni’s claws are so small and soft… Qiao Sang looked down at her held finger, stunned, and stiffly allowed herself to be led inside.

After Steel Treasure was the last to fly into the cave, the Tight Vine Treants slowly moved, completely blocking the cave entrance again.

They proceeded along the winding cave, sometimes downwards, sometimes to the left, with many twists and turns. Along the way, they encountered a few wild Pets. Seeing that Qingfeng Yun Ren and Qingqingni were personally leading the way, they merely looked on curiously and did not attack.

After advancing for about ten minutes, the front suddenly opened up, revealing a huge space.

It was filled with various tree fruits and other Pet food, as well as the pile of resources she had originally given to Qingfeng Yun Ren.

Qingqingni released its claw.

Why did you bring me here? Are you planning to return these resources to me… Qiao Sang’s gaze fell on the pile of items and materials, and her heart stirred. She looked at Qingfeng Yun Ren and tentatively asked:

“Why did you bring me here?”

Qingfeng Yun Ren said nothing, but floated directly to the pile of items and materials.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang coughed and said seriously:

“I understand what you mean, but I said these resources are yours, and they are yours. Qingqingni, you don’t have to worry. After we leave, I will find the most suitable resources for it.”

Qingfeng Yun Ren looked over, showing a speechless expression, then its gaze returned to the pile of items and materials.

The next second, Wind Transformation began without a breeze.

The items and materials were gently blown from the middle to both sides by the Wind Transformation, revealing the bottom.

Then, the Wind Transformation rolled up a crystal that looked like a pomegranate, had no impurities, emitted dazzling light, and resembled a pink diamond, bringing it before Qiao Sang.

This is… Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, then took the pink crystal in front of her.

She was sure that when she stocked up on supplies, she definitely hadn’t bought this item.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao floated over, completely attracted by the pink crystal in its Yu Beast Master’s hand, and couldn’t help but poke it with its short toe.

So beautiful…

“Qingfeng.”

Qingfeng Yun Ren looked over, calling out with a serious expression.

“Steel Sword.”

Steel Treasure translated synchronously.

It said this item is called the demon spirit heart, which is key to Qingqingni’s perfect evolution. It must be used when Qingqingni is about to evolve to the next stage.

What? demon spirit heart? Qiao Sang was astonished and bewildered upon hearing this.

She had attended Yu Liandun University for half a semester. Although she hadn’t contracted a Fairy-type Pet at the time, she had learned quite a bit about related information.

The demon spirit heart is an item that allows Fairy-type Pets to evolve, usually only the size of a cherry. So, when she first saw this pink crystal, she didn’t associate it with the demon spirit heart at all.

This demon spirit heart is a bit too big…

Speaking of which, it turns out that Qingqingni needs a demon spirit heart to evolve to the next stage…

Qiao Sang collected her thoughts and said with a complicated expression:

“I understand.”

She did not decline. This demon spirit heart was clearly priceless and could not be bought with money outside. To ensure Qingqingni’s better evolution, she had no reason not to accept it.

Qiao Sang handed the demon spirit heart to Xiao Xunbao and said solemnly:

“You must keep it safe.”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao, seeing its Yu Beast Master’s serious expression, showed a serious look and nodded.

It took the demon spirit heart, took off its ring, enlarged it, put its head into the ring, and found a very good position before placing the demon spirit heart down.

After doing all this, Xiao Xunbao poked its head out of the ring, showing its Yu Beast Master an expression that said, “I’ve got it handled, don’t worry.”

“Qingfeng.”

Qingfeng Yun Ren saw this and called out with no expression.

“Steel Sword.”

Steel Treasure translated synchronously.

It said we can go.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: “Aren’t you coming with us?”

There were still a few days left until the Secret Realm ended.

“Qingfeng.”

Qingfeng Yun Ren shook its head.

“Qingqing…”

Qingqingni seemed to understand that they were about to part and became dejected.

“Qingfeng!”

Qingfeng Yun Ren sensed Qingqingni’s emotions, patted its shoulder, and called out with high spirits.

“Qingqing!”

Qingqingni cheered up and called out with determined eyes.

I will!

Qiao Sang only understood the part Qingqingni said. As for what Qingfeng Yun Ren said, she automatically imagined: ‘Work hard out there, and in thirty years, come back and give Gu Yi Bird and Ice Snow Bird a good beating!’

After Qingfeng Yun Ren and Qingqingni spoke for about five minutes, Qingqingni floated to its Yu Beast Master’s side.

Qiao Sang understood that they had finished their goodbyes. She looked at Qingfeng Yun Ren and said solemnly, “I will properly nurture Qingqingni. In thirty years, I will return here.”

“Qingfeng.”

Qingfeng Yun Ren nodded.

It naturally believed, which is why it felt at ease letting Qingqingni contract with this human.

Led by Qingqingni, Qiao Sang and Yabao exited the cave.

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Xiao Xunbao called out, asking where they were going now.

Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and said, “Let’s just leave the Secret Realm directly.”

Her main purpose in entering the 16th Secret Realm was to not waste the Secret Realm key and the Qingfeng Compass, and to see if she could meet the legendary Qingqingni.

Now that Qingqingni was contracted, the Secret Realm key and the Qingfeng Compass were certainly not wasted.

The Judge’s mission was also completed.

Although the 16th Secret Realm opens only once every thirty years and has many resources that can be harvested, if she really waited until the last few days to leave, everyone would definitely be rushing towards the exit. If she encountered someone with a Qingfeng Compass midway or at the exit, it would not be good.

Especially those two B-level Beast Tamers from before.

Although Qingqingni hadn’t appeared at the time, judging by her reaction, anyone with a bit of sense should have guessed that Qingqingni was with her.

Outside, people naturally wouldn’t covet other people’s contracted Pets; at most, they would be envious, jealous, or hateful. However, she was still inside the Secret Realm, and she had contracted the legendary Pet Qingqingni. Anything could happen inside.

For those resources, there was no need to leave the Secret Realm during such a dangerous period.

To be safe, it was best to leave the Secret Realm as soon as possible.

Qiao Sang flipped onto Yabao’s back, then suddenly thought of something. She looked at Qingqingni and said softly, “Can you go into the yu beast codex first and come out after I leave the Secret Realm?”

The Qingfeng Compass could sense Qingqingni’s location, but it probably couldn’t sense Qingqingni inside the yu beast codex.

If she wanted to stay safely in the Secret Realm for a few more days, she could keep Qingqingni inside the yu beast codex, but she couldn’t bear to, as Qingqingni’s information was mostly related to Wind Transformation.

And Wind Transformation is the freest.

“Qingqing?”

Qingqingni showed a puzzled expression.

What is the yu beast codex?

Qiao Sang: “…”

“It’s the medium through which you contracted with me.” Qiao Sang pointed to her head and explained, “The yu beast codex is in my mind. Once you go in, you can recover energy and also see the outside world through my vision.”

The last point was naturally not possible for low-level Yu Beast Masters, but since her brain domain was developed to 50%, she could do it.

“Qingqing.”

Qingqingni understood and nodded.

Qiao Sang waved her hand and put Qingqingni into the yu beast codex.

“Let’s go! We’re leaving!”

“Yaba!”

Time passed by minute by minute. During this period, Yabao slept once and dealt with three waves of wild Pet attacks before finally arriving at the Secret Realm exit.

The small and medium-sized wild Pets below heard the commotion, looked up, and did not initiate an attack.

It seems everyone really waits until the last day to come out… Qiao Sang observed her surroundings, saw no one, and patted Yabao’s back.

“Yaba!”

Yabao called out and walked towards the passage.

At this moment, a gust of Wind Transformation inexplicably blew by.

Qiao Sang sensed something and looked back.

At the same time, inside the yu beast codex, Qingqingni looked at the empty sky, stunned, then showed a reluctant expression and waved its claw.

The Secret Realm key glowed.

At the passage entrance, shallow white ripples spread out, then settled back into calmness.

In the air, the Wind Transformation turned around and drifted towards the depths of the Secret Realm.

Spiritual Mark Center.

At a height of 1630 meters above.

Qiao Sang emerged from the passage.

Daylight abruptly turned into night.

The guards on both sides were still there.

Outside, there were no reporters or people holding cameras, but there were still scattered individuals taking photos and checking in.

Seeing someone emerge, the guards showed surprised expressions, and the people checking in also whispered:

“Didn’t they say the Secret Realm is open for a month? It seems only 25 days have passed, so why is someone already coming out?”

“Maybe their Pet got injured and couldn’t stay in the Secret Realm anymore.”

“What a waste of a spot! There are still five days left, and the resources collected could make them rich. If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t come out until the last day.”

“Those who can enter this Secret Realm are probably not as poor as us, struggling for a bit of resources.”

“What’s the name of that red Pet? It looks so cool.”

“Don’t you think she looks a bit too young…?”

Qiao Sang ignored everyone’s gazes and rode Yabao directly away.

Her phone was dead, so she could only rely on her memory to retrace her route and head to the Yu Beast Center.

The evening Wind Transformation was gentle.

Upon reaching a place where few people were Flying in the air, Qiao Sang formed hand seals and summoned Qingqingni.

“Qingqing…”

Qingqingni curiously surveyed everything around it.

There was no night in the 16th Secret Realm, so everything here was new to it.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao saw Qingqingni come out, quickly took off its ring, pulled out a bottle of milk from inside, and handed it over, laying a good foundation for their future relationship.

“Qingqing~”

Qingqingni took the milk and smiled sweetly.

It had already drunk milk in the Secret Realm, so it wasn’t unfamiliar with it.

Although Xiao Xunbao could be unreliable sometimes, when it came to socializing, it was definitely a master… Qiao Sang looked at everything before her with satisfaction, then suddenly thought of something and entered her consciousness into the yu beast codex.

While in the Secret Realm, there was always a possibility of danger, so it was not advisable to relax and spend time looking at the yu beast codex. It was different now that she was out; she felt completely safe.

The pages turned, and soon she found the page about Qingqingni.
