Beast taming, starting from zero point
Chapter 277 - 265: It wasn’t you who did it, was it?

Chapter 277: Chapter 265: It wasn’t you who did it, was it?

"Ya."

Yaobao’s eyes shone with blue light as it used telekinesis to send Xiao Xunbao back and signaled it to train well and not to slack off.

"Xun..."

Xiao Xunbao was momentarily confused.

What happened to acting?

"Lulu!"

Shuilu Yana pointed to the roof tiles it had just laid out and called out to Xiao Xunbao.

Hurry up and train!

Xiao Xunbao: "..."

Qiao Sang watched silently from not too far away, wondering if it was her imagination, but why did it always feel like a mom and dad were urging their child to study...

...

That night, Xiao Xunbao sneakily glanced outside the door to make sure Shuilu Yana wasn’t in the living room. Then it turned to Yaobao with pursed lips, asking why Yaobao didn’t cooperate and act well.

"Ya?" Yaobao looked puzzled.

"Xun Xun!" Xiao Xunbao complained.

About just now in the courtyard!

"Ya..."

Yaobao’s eyes widened. So, that was acting...

Qiao Sang leaned half against the head of the bed and put down her book, almost at the same time saying, "So, you were acting just now!"

"Xun..."

Xiao Xunbao’s body swayed, as if it had taken a serious blow.

At that moment, Xiao Xunbao began to doubt its own acting skills deeply.

"Actually, there’s no rush," Qiao Sang said. "We need to wait until Shuilu Yana’s Healing Light proficiency reaches Mystique before we perform for it. It’s early days now; let’s act again in a few days."

After she finished speaking, she saw that Xiao Xunbao still looked deeply traumatized and comforted it, "It’s good that no one could tell you were acting just now. Otherwise, if Shuilu Yana’s Healing Light hadn’t reached Mystique yet, and it evolved just like that, it wouldn’t be very good."

"Ya!"

Yaobao nodded vigorously, agreeing.

"Xun..."

Xiao Xunbao’s body swayed again.

Feeling even worse now—what’s going on?

At 2:30 in the morning, when the night was quiet,

Xiao Xunbao, holding a phone in the unlit living room, was practicing various facial expressions like the actors in the videos.

Yang Du happened to yawn and come out of his room to go to the bathroom.

He noticed the faint light downstairs, walked to the railing out of reflex, looked down, and was instantly wide awake.

He saw the light from the phone screen casting an eerie glow on the face of the Treasure-seeking Demon, which was several sizes smaller than normal.

If that were all, he would have been fine; he had seen many Spectral-type Pet Beasts and wouldn’t have been scared by this alone.

The problem was that one second, the Treasure-seeking Demon looked sad, then the next second its expression changed, and it burst into silent laughter, just grinning without a sound, which especially seemed like a scene from a horror movie intruding upon reality.

Yang Du hurried back to his room, no longer wanting to go to the bathroom.

Xiao Xunbao, imitating the actors in the videos with a grave expression, had no idea it had just quenched someone’s urge to use the bathroom.

...

The next day.

Qiao Sang arrived in the classroom where, as usual, the prodigies were immersed in meditation.

After the morning self-study was over, one of the students suddenly exclaimed, "Holy shit! Where’s my breakfast?!"

Everyone turned their gaze, "What happened?"

"My breakfast that I put in the drawer is gone!"

The classmates didn’t believe this one bit.

"That can’t be. Why don’t you look again?"

"Are you sure you even brought it to the classroom?"

"Maybe you remembered wrong?"

Only Qiao Sang stood still, a bad premonition rising in her heart.

She turned her head, half her face covered by her hand, and whispered, "It wasn’t you, was it?"

No one answered.

About half a minute later, the student who had said his breakfast was lost cried out in alarm, "I’ve seen a ghost, my breakfast is back!"

After speaking, he excitedly took out the bag with his breakfast from the drawer and opened it, and the next second, his expression immediately fell.

A mournful voice echoed through the classroom, "Who ate half of my breakfast!"

That day, all the students in the school received the message: the Pet Beast that had been snacking on the snacks of senior grade three might have moved on to freshman grade one.

...

6:57 p.m.

Qiao Sang was doing her homework in her room.

"Lulu." Shuilu Yana flowed in through the crack in the door, condensed into form and pushed Qiao Sang with its claws.

Qiao Sang turned her head and was momentarily baffled, "Are you talking about Rain Praying?"

"Lulu!"

Shuilu Yana nodded and half sat on the ground, earnestly counting on its claws.

It had been several days!

"Uh, I thought of a way to learn Rain Praying, but for now, we still need to spend most of our time practicing Healing Light," said Qiao Sang.

"Lulu!"

Shuilu Yana put down its still-counting claws and nodded, indicating no problem.

Qiao Sang put down her pen and took Shuilu Yana to a part of the courtyard that hadn’t been touched by Mars Rain, and said earnestly, "To pray for rain, you must first turn clouds into dark clouds, and dark clouds are formed by the condensation of mist droplets. What you need to do first is to find a way to condense mist droplets."

"Lulu?"

Shuilu Yana cried out, asking what mist droplets were.

"Mist droplets are the tiny water droplets that make up mist," explained Qiao Sang. "You can produce water mist, which is also a type of mist, just in a different form. Try to gather and condense the water mist as much as you can now, and see if you can transform it into mist droplets."

"Lulu!"

Shuilu Yana nodded and immediately began adjusting the energy within its body.

In no time, the surroundings were enveloped by a white, gauze-like fog, and the air got quite moist.

"Lulu..." Shuilu Yana attempted to condense the water mist.

Gradually, the color of the mist deepened, and the moisture in the air got heavier.

But soon, the mist dissipated.

"Good, it seems we’re training in the right direction. With more practice, you should be able to switch successfully," Qiao Sang said with a smile.

"Lulu!" Shuilu Yana nodded vigorously, it felt the same way!

"But for now, the main focus is still on practicing Healing Light. If you want to practice Rain Praying, wait until Xiao Xunbao isn’t tearing up tiles," Qiao Sang reminded.

In fact, if you evolved, you could practice whenever you wanted... Qiao Sang added silently to herself, not daring to say this in front of Shuilu Yana for fear that it would remember its tragic evolution conditions.

"Lulu!" Shuilu Yana showed a "no problem" expression.

...

For the following six days, Yaobao, Xiao Xunbao, and Shuilu Yana repeated their training.

The only addition was sparring.

According to their original schedule, besides the weekend, there would be no time for sparring.

But to increase Shuilu Yana’s points quickly, Qiao Sang had to speed up her homework, finishing it an hour faster than before.

There was no choice, given Shuilu Yana’s current training progress, without the boost from Golden Finger, it would be difficult to reach Mystique proficiency in Healing Light before evolving.

Hongying Beast Battle Club, battle training room.

The sparring was nearing its end, Qiao Sang checked the time, and shouted, "Water Jet Thrust."

The next moment, a little plump pigeon crumpled in front of Shuilu Yana.

"Lulu."

Shuilu Yana flicked its tail and walked arrogantly to Qiao Sang’s side.

"Your little plump pigeon is fairly speedy, but its flying route is a bit too predictable, making it easy to see through," Qiao Sang pointed out the flaw.

The girl, looking to be about 16, was taken aback, then her expression turned to delight, "My little plump pigeon is fairly speedy, really?!"

Qiao Sang fell silent for a moment, "In its own species, yes."

Girl: "..."

That evening, after washing up, Qiao Sang returned to her room, lay on the bed, and entered into the Beast Taming Codex, flipping to Shuilu Yana’s page as she had done several days before, adding points to Healing Light.

Soon, the data before her eyes changed.

[Healing Light (Mystique 10001/20000) +]

PS: I’ve been running a fever these last two days, reaching 40 degrees this morning. I felt more comfortable in the afternoon, so I hurried to write while I was still feeling okay, in case I suddenly get worse again...
