Beast taming, starting from zero point novel Chapter 189

Chapter 189 -180: Keep It a Secret

All the materials were lined up in a row.

The ring was put back on by Xiao Xunbao, who then brought its claw tips together, drawing out the energy from the materials into the ring with an inward surge of its own power.

To the naked eye, purple and red specks of light continually transferred from above the materials to the ring, now emitting a pale yellow glow.

Looks like I’ll have to buy a new batch… Qiao Sang winced at the sight of several wilted materials.

I used to think buying pet beasts was expensive, but I later realized that the money pales in comparison to the cost of raising them.

In the end, it’s still a matter of lacking funds.

The seven-figure balance in my bank account no longer felt reassuring.

With that thought, Qiao Sang went back to her room, picked up the phone from her desk, and dialed her mother’s number.

“Hello, Mom? It’s been two days, when are you coming over?” As soon as the call connected, Qiao Sang couldn’t wait to ask.

“I just got back to Hangkang this afternoon and am already on my way to you,” her mother replied.

Just got back to Hangkang? Qiao Sang was slightly taken aback: “Where have you been these past two days?”

“…Let’s not talk about it now, the signal is bad up in the sky, we’ll chat when I get there.”

“Jiubi~”

“Dudu dudu…”

Qiao Sang looked at the disconnected call and couldn’t help but be speechless.

In this day and age, claiming to have a bad signal at the altitude and speed Fat Home Jiubi flies at is hardly credible.

…

One hour later.

In the living room.

Ye Xiangting placed several bags she was holding onto the coffee table: “I bought some Red Luan Fruits, Tuo You Fruits, and Nian Nian Fruits, which are both Yaobao and Xiao Xunbao’s favorites. Call them over to have some.”

Glancing at the fruits on the coffee table, Qiao Sang asked, “And mine?”

Ye Xiangting looked stunned, then coughed and said, “How old are you? Can’t you buy your own food?”

Great, it seems she didn’t buy any for me… Qiao Sang headed to the courtyard and called out to her two pet beasts: “Yaobao, Xiao Xunbao, come quick! There’s something tasty.”

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao gleefully called out, immediately vanishing from the courtyard.

Having absorbed the materials and practiced its skills for half the day, it was already famished.

Yaobao put away its doppelganger and approached its Beast Tamer, lifting its head and blinking its eyes.

“Ya Ya?”

Qiao Sang was taken aback and replied, “It’s not food I made.”

“Ya!”

Yaobao’s eyes lit up, and it excitedly trotted off to the living room.

Leaving Qiao Sang standing in place, looking perplexed.

Was it my imagination, or did Yaobao seem unusually happy when it heard the food wasn’t made by me?

When Qiao Sang returned to the living room, she saw her mother taking countless photos of Yaobao, who was eating Red Luan Fruits, with her phone.

Xiao Xunbao floated beside her mother, munching on Tuo You Fruits and curiously looking at the photos on the phone.

Yaobao wasn’t actually eating the Red Luan Fruits, but instead held one between its teeth, posing motionless towards the phone’s camera.

“That’s it, so cool!” her mother exclaimed with praises as she looked at the photos in her phone.

“Let’s take another one, lift your head a little,” she directed as she crouched down to take another shot from a different angle.

Yaobao, with a Red Luan Fruit in its mouth, lifted its head about 15 degrees upward.

“So handsome, absolute perfection!” Mother voiced her satisfaction.

After three full minutes of snapping photos, Mother finally put down her phone. Then she turned her head and caught sight of Xiao Xunbao beside her.

“Do you want to be photographed? Let me take a few shots of you too,” Mother said with a smile.

“Xun~”

Xiao Xunbao didn’t hesitate and struck a pose.
