Chapter 279: Chapter 267 Rainfall

Watching Shuilu Yana run off without a trace of sorrow, Qiao Sang fell into deep perplexity.

Another failure?

Where did the problem lie?

After thinking for a long while, Qiao Sang suddenly realized that the problem to solve was not how to make Shuilu Yana suffer from a painful breakup, but how to make it experience a breakup...

...

Time ticked by, second by second.

Soon, night fell.

At night, Shuilu Yana still had not gone through a breakup.

With a pair of scissors in hand and a heart filled with profound grief, Qiao Sang said to Yaobao, "I’ve thought it over. The root reason why Shuilu Yana likes you is because you’re just too handsome. If we change your appearance a bit, Shuilu Yana will definitely experience a breakup."

"Xun..." Xiao Xunbao nodded in agreement with a full-faced endorsement.

"Ya Ya!"

Yaobao looked at the scissors, tears in his eyes, desperately shaking his head.

"Don’t be afraid, the fur will grow back soon," Qiao Sang softly reassured, slowly approaching with scissors in hand.

"Ya Ya!"

Yaobao stepped back, step by step.

Pinned against the wall and seeing the scissors about to land on him, Yaobao showed an expression of despair with tears in his eyes.

What does Shuilu Yana’s breakup have to do with its fur!

Would it be any less handsome without its fur?!

...

Meanwhile.

In the courtyard.

Shuilu Yana, with a serious expression, tried to condense the mist, little by little.

It wasn’t long before the mist dispersed again.

"Lulu..." A look of dejection appeared on Shuilu Yana’s face.

"What are you practicing?" Yang Du approached with a smile, "Perhaps I can help you."

There were mostly unspoken rules among those who take on tasks; apart from matters concerning the task, they wouldn’t get involved in other affairs of the task giver’s life during the task period.

So Yang Du mostly stayed in his room and didn’t come out during this time.

But since the task giver mentioned that today might be the last day of the task, Yang Du couldn’t stay put any longer.

Shuilu Yana looked at the human before it, its tail swishing, the dejected expression turning haughty as it prepared to leave.

"I guess you’re trying to condense the energy of the mist," Yang Du said.

After all, he was a B-rank Beast Tamer, and he possessed the requisite insight in Beast Taming.

"Lulu."

Shuilu Yana stopped in its tracks and turned its head around, wary.

Yang Du laughed, "You don’t need to be so cautious with me. I just want to help you. After today, I might be gone."

"Zeze." The deep-sea creature next to him nodded, indicating its Beast Tamer was genuinely a good person.

"If you don’t trust me, I can ask Dadou to help you," Yang Du pointed to the deep-sea creature, "It can also create mist and knows quite a bit about Water-type skills."

"Zeze." The deep-sea creature nodded again.

"Lulu?"

Shuilu Yana’s deep eyes looked at the deep-sea creature.

Can it summon rain?

"Zeze," the deep-sea creature nodded.

Although Yang Du couldn’t understand Shuilu Yana’s meaning, he understood his Pet Beast’s response and said confidently with a smile, "Summoning rain? It has known how to do that for nine years."

"Lulu..."

Nine years ago?!

Shuilu Yana showed a shocked expression; this time span for learning to summon rain was even older than itself!

Thinking of something, Yang Du suddenly said, "The day is almost over, and I don’t know when your Beast Tamer will summon the rain."

"Lulu?"

Shuilu Yana looked at the human in front of it, puzzled.

Perhaps the question in Shuilu Yana’s eyes was too obvious, because Yang Du understood it without needing a translation. He explained:

"It’s about the rain prayer. I took on a task that said they wanted to ensure it could rain at any time, but I’ve been here for so long and it hasn’t rained once. Today your Beast Tamer said it’s the last day, but it’s already dark and still no rain, so I don’t know what’s going on."

As he spoke, he recalled the events of the day and added, "Your Beast Tamer seemed a bit strange today, as did the Flame Listening Dog and the Treasure-seeking Demon."

Realizing his topic had strayed, Yang Du laughed and said, "Let’s not talk about this. If you want to learn how to do a rain prayer, you could ask Doudou to teach you. Once you’ve learned it, if your Beast Tamer still wants to be able to make it rain anytime, there’d be no need to go out and post a special task for it."

"Lulu..."

Shuilu Yana looked confused.

Why would they want it to rain at any time?

Shuilu Yana was not slow-witted. On the contrary, it was quite sensitive to some things and could detect the slightest hint of change.

This was also the main reason why Shuilu Yana was able to escape from the Ancient Mist Region to the Yuhua Region without getting caught by anyone.

To be able to make it rain anytime...

Rain?

Rain...

Rain!

The memories of death suddenly flashed back, and Shuilu Yana’s eyes suddenly widened.

"If you want to become stronger, the most effective method is evolution. I’ve looked into it. If you want to evolve, you need to feel the pain of a broken heart in the rain. The surge of emotions from within is what can spur your evolution."

"So I showed you these videos to see what kind of Pet Beast you’d like."

"Will this one work?"

"How about this one?"

"Yaobao?"

The memory halted abruptly as Yaobao’s head came into view.

Shuilu Yana’s body shook.

Yaobao! It’s an actor! From the beginning, it was here to deceive! Everything was a sham!

"Lulu!!!"

Accompanied by a heart-wrenching cry, a white light enveloped Shuilu Yana’s entire body.

Yang Du stood there with his mouth agape, completely baffled: "What the hell! What’s happening?!"

Light of evolution?

Evolution just by talking?!

Is that even possible?! Is that scientific?!

"Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!" Yang Du snapped out of his daze and hurried inside, shouting loudly.

"What’s wrong?" Qiao Sang, stopping her activity, opened the door and asked.

"Yaobao..." Yaobao let out a sigh of relief behind her.

"Shuilu Yana evolved! You’ve got to see this!" Yang Du said excitedly.

"Evolved?!" Qiao Sang’s expression froze for a moment, then her eyes widened as she dashed towards the courtyard.

As she ran, she did not forget to shout, "Rain! Make it rain quickly! Right now, immediately!"

"Okay! Okay!" Yang Du didn’t know why, but he always knew his task was to make it rain.

He didn’t run towards the courtyard, but instead entered the Beast Taming Codex with his consciousness.

"Ze..."

The Deep Sea Swamp Creature, which had always been in the courtyard, seemed to sense something and lifted its head with a call.

Inky clouds quickly appeared in the sky, and in an instant, raindrops fell furiously from the heavens, creating a ’pitter-patter’ sound as they hit the ground.

Qiao Sang reached the courtyard and saw the torrential rain and the slowly fading white light.

It really evolved... Qiao Sang felt an extreme sense of unreality as she looked at Shuilu Yana enveloped in the white light inside the courtyard.

She couldn’t understand it; they had experimented all day long without success, trying every method without inducing Shuilu Yana to evolve.

Just now, when nothing was done, and she was merely staying in the room, Shuilu Yana evolved—why?

Qiao Sang didn’t ponder this question for long, as the white light before her eyes... dissipated....
