Beast taming, starting from zero point
Chapter 276 - 264: The Smile of "Fondness

Chapter 276: Chapter 264: The Smile of "Fondness

On Monday, a light rain fell for the first time in a while.

Given that her umbrella wasn’t big enough, Qiao Sang stored Yaobao inside the Beast Taming Codex and walked to school.

The sky looked gloomy, and pedestrians hastened their steps under their umbrellas, splashing through puddles as they hurried along. But when passing by a certain someone, they all slowed down, turning their heads in surprise for several glances.

"Uncle Yang, we haven’t reached the school yet, would you like to come out and catch a breath?" Qiao Sang couldn’t help asking, feeling almost all of the passersby’s eyes on her.

By her side, there was only an umbrella suspended about two meters above the ground with no one underneath it, which was the main reason for catching the attention of pedestrians.

"Ra..."

Nilaro maintained the motion of holding the umbrella as it appeared and made a sound, then it became invisible again.

"Xun Xun~"

Xiao Xunbao, very observantly, took on the role of translator on top of its Beast Tamer’s head.

Hearing Xiao Xunbao’s words, Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched slightly.

Goodness, it had actually fallen asleep inside Nilaro’s stomach...

When they were about 100 meters away from Shengshui Middle School, Qiao Sang stopped Nilaro and said, "You’ll give yourself away if you go in like this. Wait until the rain stops or wait for the person checking at the gate to leave, then come find me. Remember, I’m in Class 1 of the first-year students."

"Ra..."

Nilaro appeared and nodded its head.

After instructing Nilaro, Qiao Sang walked away with peace of mind, holding the umbrella. Nilaro was a General-level Pet Beast, and she had a lot of confidence in it.

Little did she know Nilaro stood in the same spot, staring in the direction she disappeared for almost a minute, then revealed a confused expression.

"Ra..."

Which class was it again...

At nine thirty in the morning, the second period ended. Qiao Sang glanced outside the window and then looked around the classroom.

The rain had stopped for over forty minutes already, and by rights, Nilaro should have been inside the classroom. But there wasn’t a single stir during the previous class, and Qiao Sang sincerely commended it in her heart.

As expected of a General-level Pet Beast, its ability to hide was awesome!

"Uncle Yang, are you there?" Qiao Sang whispered, resting her head on her hand against the desk.

No one answered.

Understanding the situation, Qiao Sang said, "I get it, it’s not convenient to speak now. If you’re here, just have Nilaro move my pen on the desk."

"What are you talking about?" Jin Feifan suddenly asked from nearby.

Qiao Sang pretended as if nothing had happened and sat up straight to reply, "I was silently reciting what the teacher just taught, to consolidate my knowledge."

"Reviewing the past senior high school entrance exams, there’s a 93% chance that what was taught last class won’t be on the test," Jin Feifan thought for a moment and then said, "But it will probably be on the monthly test, so memorizing it isn’t a mistake."

Qiao Sang was taken aback for a moment. "We’re only in the first year of high school, and you’ve already studied what could be on the senior exams?"

Jin Feifan blushed, embarrassingly admitting, "I think that everything should be done efficiently. We can’t waste time on meaningless things. If we know what is likely to come up in the exams in advance, we can spend more time on it when we study."

Qiao Sang gave him a thumbs up, "Impressive!"

Just then, a boy with a buzz cut ran from outside the classroom to the podium excitedly, "Guess what just happened in the third year?"

"What happened?"

"How would we know?"

"Stop teasing, just say it already!"

"Hurry up and tell us, the next class is about to start!"

The classmates exchanged words, their attention focused on the scene.

Qiao Sang also looked over.

Almost every class has a "know-it-all" who gets wind of school gossip first-hand. It’s no exception in their class, where Zhang Shuzhou, as their class "know-it-all," had shared quite a bit of school gossip in less than a month since school started.

Zhang Shuzhou surveyed the classroom from the podium, not beating around the bush, and with a sly smile said, "I don’t know whose Pet Beast, still cloaked in invisibility, went and gobbled up all the snacks hidden by every class in the third-year section. The school leadership is investigating it now, and someone’s probably in big trouble."

Invisibility?

Qiao Sang instinctively reached atop her head to check.

Thank goodness, it wasn’t Xiao Xunbao...

"Qiao Sang, is your Treasure-seeking Ghost around? It hasn’t run off, has it?" Jin Feifan leaned in and asked in a hushed voice.

Qiao Sang: "..."

"Xun..."

...

It was 6:56 PM.

At Tianjing Garden, Number 1705.

"What?! You went to the senior third year area?!" Qiao Sang asked incredulously.

Yang Du replied with a wry smile, "I overslept this morning. When I came out, I didn’t see you, and thinking you were in class, I didn’t contact you through the phone. I asked Mao Dou, but it didn’t know which class you were in either. I thought you were a senior, so I went around the senior area."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Qiao Sang with a very complicated expression.

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, no matter who said it, he wouldn’t have believed that a Beast Tamer with three Pet Beasts was actually just a high school freshman.

What was even more unbelievable was that two of her three Pet Beasts had evolved to the intermediate level.

One of them was the Flame Listening Dog, whose evolution plan hadn’t been released by the Alliance, and the other junior Pet Beast was the nearly extinct Shuilu Yana...

Yang Du couldn’t quite describe how he was feeling; he had lived in praise for decades and had always believed his talent was incredibly great.

But now, he felt his talent was laughably weak!

Qiao Sang tried to speak in a normal tone, "I told Nilado I was in first-year class one."

Yang Du answered, "Well, you might not know this, but Lala’s forgetfulness is famous in the Xilü Area. It’s the same even after evolving into Nilado."

Qiao Sang: "???"

She didn’t understand!

How could someone so forgetful remain so popular with new Beast Tamers?!

Suddenly, Qiao Sang remembered something and her mouth twitched as she asked, "I heard that an invisible Pet Beast ate all the snacks in the entire senior third year. That wasn’t Nilado’s doing, was it?"

"That’s nonsense!" Yang Du rebutted with a frown, "It was only Mao Dou who sneakily took some snacks in the first two classes while I wasn’t paying attention. After that, it didn’t eat anymore!"

"Lala..."

Nilado nodded slowly.

Qiao Sang: "..."

It was indeed you...

After Yang Du promised that such an incident would never happen again, Qiao Sang went out to the courtyard.

Yaobao and the others had already begun training.

Yaobao worked with Mars Rain.

Xiao Xunbao broke tiles.

Shuilu Yana waited for Xiao Xunbao to finish breaking tiles.

Qiao Sang watched with satisfaction.

"Crack!"

The tile shattered on cue.

"Lulu." Shuilu Yana immediately cast Healing Light.

Xiao Xunbao, who was being healed, saw its Beast Tamer in the courtyard and remembered its mission, displaying a "Leave everything to me" expression. It also sneakily gave an ’ok’ gesture where Shuilu Yana couldn’t see.

Qiao Sang was startled by Xiao Xunbao’s action and was still trying to grasp its meaning.

"Xun Xun~"

Xiao Xunbao had already floated to Yaobao’s side and began earnestly massaging Yaobao with its paw that had just been under the Healing Light.

"Ya?"

Yaobao turned and let out a baffled bark at Xiao Xunbao.

"Xun~"

Xiao Xunbao showed a "liking" smile that it had just learned while playing with the phone the previous night.

Qiao Sang: "..."

She didn’t understand why Xiao Xunbao was suddenly smiling so... sycophantically...
