Beast taming, starting from zero point novel Chapter 15

Chapter 15: Chapter 12 They All Know

Silence and darkness enveloped the wilderness, filled with an eerie quiet.

A black figure suddenly approached, emitting a cackling laugh.

It had no limbs, just a body the size of a human head floating in the air, its dark red eyes staring at the girl in white as if looking at prey.

In the next moment, the limbless body suddenly grew a hand with only two fingers, reaching for the girl's heart.

The hand went through the girl's body, hollowing it out.

The black figure's eyes widened in disbelief.

The girl lifted her head, and a face without features slowly appeared in the frame...

"Yah!"

The Fire-Toothed Dog plunged into Qiao Sang's arms.

It didn't want to watch anymore!

Qiao Sang patted its head, feeling somewhat regretful...

...

...

The next two days were the weekend, and Qiao Sang declined Fang Sisi's proposal to go out and chose to study at home alone.

Apart from taking some time to register her Beast Tamer identity and the Fire-Toothed Dog's registration at the Beast Taming Center, the remaining time was almost entirely spent in books.

Perhaps it was the awakening of her brain domain, but her memory had improved a lot compared to her previous life, only needing to read a book once to remember most of it.

Soon, it was time to go back to school.

"Fire-Toothed Dog, be good, I'll let you out after school," Qiao Sang coaxed.

Ever since the Fire-Toothed Dog grew tired of the game in the Beast Taming Codex, it hadn't gone into the Codex again.

This time Qiao Sang wanted it to go back in, but it showed some reluctance.

It preferred staying outside to being in the Codex.

"Yah."

The Fire-Toothed Dog shook its head, indicating it didn't want to go in.

Qiao Sang felt somewhat helpless; the school didn't explicitly forbid bringing Pet Beasts, but having the Fire-Toothed Dog out in the open was too conspicuous when everyone else hadn't contracted their Pet Beasts yet.

Qiao Sang didn't want to be the center of attention.

"If you go in, I'll buy you Red Luan Fruits to eat when we get back," Qiao Sang tempted.

The Fire-Toothed Dog arrogantly turned its head to the side.

It didn't want them.

The corner of Qiao Sang's mouth twitched.

Her mother had bought six Red Luan Fruits last time, and she fed four to the Fire-Toothed Dog on the first day, and one each on the following two days.

Had it grown tired of them already?

"If you don't go in, I'll have to leave on my own."

"I'm leaving."

"I'm really leaving."

Qiao Sang crouched at the entrance, put on her shoes, and pretended to head out.

"Yah!"

The Fire-Toothed Dog leaped into her arms and looked up at her with pitiful, wet eyes.

"If you want to come with me, you have to go in first. I promise I'll let you out as soon as school is over," Qiao Sang said.

"Yah." The Fire-Toothed Dog hung its head and responded listlessly.

Qiao Sang's heart softened into a mush.

It was still a child.

Qingcheng Jiayuan was within the school district of Shengshui Middle School, only 9 kilometers away, reachable by bus lines 23, 36, 57, or by the fifth and seventh subway lines.

Qiao Sang didn't choose the subway as usual.

On bus line 36.

The Fire-Toothed Dog joyfully stuck its head out of the window in Qiao Sang's arms, the wind messing up its fur as it blew in their faces.

It excitedly watched the outside world.

"Remember, you have to go in obediently once we get to school, okay?" Qiao Sang said with a smile.
