Beast taming, starting from zero point novel Chapter 277

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.
