Beast taming, starting from zero point novel Chapter 564

Chapter 564: Chapter 516: You Go First

Sfevora Manor.

The banquet hall.

Nine magnificent crystal chandeliers hung from the dome, and the spacious hall was filled with long tables draped in white cloth, laden with delicious delicacies, fine wines, and fruits.

Several pet beasts, clad in work attire, were tirelessly delivering food and drinks to the tables.

Familiar guests gathered in small groups, either sitting around sofas or standing by the dining tables, chatting merrily and enjoying the sumptuous feast.

The belle of the ball, Felice, was dressed in a red gown, adorned with exquisite jewelry, a faint smile on her face, basking in the praise of those around her.

"Miss Felice, at such a young age, has unlocked the second page of the Beast Taming Codex. I doubt you’d find many like her in the entire Third District."

"I heard that various Pet Beast Bases have brought a plethora of exceptionally talented pet beasts for Miss Felice to choose from."

"Lady Mara is truly good to Miss Felice."

At that moment, a pet beast, led by someone in a work uniform, entered the hall with three youths.

As the trio walked in, the gaze of the guests in the inner hall fixed on the pet beast cradled in the arms of the black-haired girl.

"Isn’t that Miss Yuna? How come she has a friend who’s carrying a pet beast inside?" said someone next to Felice.

Felice glanced at the pet beast in the black-haired girl’s arms and frowned.

Qiao Sang approached the table, casually picked up a pastry, and handed it to Yaobao.

"Ya!"

Yaobao clawed at it, then lowered its head and merrily gobbled it up.

"Which one’s your sister?" Qiao Sang asked.

"The one in the red dress," Yuna hinted with a glance toward the front right.

Tang Yi asked, "Aren’t you going to go over?"

"No need," Yuna laughed. "She and I don’t get along."

Tang Yi looked puzzled for a moment and blurted out, "Why not?"

For what else could it be? In big families, it’s always that same old reason for siblings not getting along... Qiao Sang looked over with a gossip-hungry gaze.

Yuna was silent for a moment before saying, "She and I don’t share the same father."

Qiao Sang: "!!!"

Honestly, she had imagined many reasons, but she had never expected this one!

Tang Yi’s pupils contracted, clearly shocked as well.

Yuna continued:

"My mother and father had an arranged marriage; they amicably divorced later on, and after that, my mother married Felice’s father."

"You mean, your mother was the one to ’marry’ him," Qiao Sang said, looking dumbfounded at Yuna. "Marry?"

Yuna was at first puzzled, unsure why this was confusing, but then she remembered that Qiao Sang came from Blue Star and explained:

"Here on Chao Su Star, we value strength, so the one who is a higher-level Beast Tamer is the one to ’marry,’ as they are better providers."

Qiao Sang immediately perked up, "What if one is a Coordination Master and the other a Professional Beast Tamer, but both are of the same level?"

Yuna laughed, "Coordination Masters are all flash and no substance. How can their strength compare to that of a Professional Beast Tamer? Of course, the Professional Beast Tamer would be the marrying party."

"No wonder they say Chao Su Star has the most Professional Beast Tamers," Tang Yi remarked.

"The prevalence of Professional Beast Tamers is mainly because there are so many wild pet beasts around," Yuna explained. "It has little to do with marriage. Being the marrying party implies greater responsibility; not everyone wants to be in that role." _{ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom}

Qiao Sang thought to herself, this was quite enlightening.

At this time, the lights went out, and a spotlight shone on a high platform.

A man walked up, followed by a small, quadrupedal pet beast with three tails that resembled a fox.

"It’s starting," whispered Yuna, looking at the stage. "Most people here at the banquet actually come for the pet beast showcase. All the major Pet Beast Bases will bring their most talented pet beasts. Even though Felice gets first pick, the remaining beasts are rare sights."

"If you see any pet beasts you’d like to contract, let me know and I can have someone reserve them."

Qiao Sang felt moved. She didn’t recognize most of Chao Su Star’s pet beasts and would have had to rely on online opinions to make a choice. Now, she had the opportunity to pick from the best, with someone offering guidance, which was incredibly exciting.

The man on the stage began his introduction: "This Jue Ice Fox can exhale breath at minus 50 degrees."

"Jue Jue!"
