Xiao Xunbao licked Yaobao awake.
After adding Sylvia’s contact information, and thanking the director once more, Qiao Sang confirmed that her cameo compensation would be transferred through finance in two days, then rode away on the enlarged Yaobao, leaving the Teo Film and Television Base.
Watching the girl vanish into the sky, Sylvia asked:
"Director, I noticed that you seem very interested in those pet beasts from Blue Star. Why not discuss with Qiao Sang and continue to have her pet beasts act in some scenes?"
Instead of answering, the director replied with a question, "You’re not really acquainted with her, are you?"
Sylvia paused before confessing,
"I posted a task at the Beast Taming Center, and she came because she accepted my task. In fact, we met for the first time today."
"Your task reward was a projection of dreams?" the director chuckled.
Embarrassed, Sylvia said, "My Dream Eater’s dream projection only reached Proficient level, but she needed a third-person perspective dream projection, so..."
"So you brought her to me." the director finished for her.
Sylvia, not intimidated by the biggest boss of the crew, smilingly said,
"Isn’t it because I know you’re kind and will surely help out?"
The director smugly accepted the flattery.
"An interstellar exchange student, at such a young age with three pet beasts, two of which were wearing miniature Shrinking Bracelets—that kind of person wouldn’t be interested in acting. She agreed to let her Spectral-type Pet Beast make a cameo today because I hadn’t helped out yet; she was afraid that if she refused, I might go back on my word later," the director said as he peered into the now-empty sky, abruptly answering the first topic’s question, "Asking her would’ve been pointless."
Sylvia was taken aback:
"You mean, those three pet beasts are all hers?"
"What else?" The director glanced at her: "Don’t tell me you were naive enough to believe those three belonged to her family members."
Sylvia: "???"
It was meant to be just a chat, how did it turn into a personal attack?
But the director was always accurate in judging people; indeed, a child with such a talent for Beast Taming wouldn’t be interested in acting.
After all, who would want to be an actor if they had the talent to be a Professional Beast Tamer... Sylvia suddenly felt a tinge of melancholy, then she spotted a familiar figure not far away. She quickly forced a careless tone and asked,
"By the way, Director, I remember our group’s Eryn unlocked the second page of the Beast Taming Codex not long ago. Did she form a contract with a new pet beast the next day?"
The director didn’t expect Sylvia to shift the topic so swiftly.
After thinking for a bit, he said, "Seems so. She even threw a party to celebrate. Didn’t she invite you?"
"She did, but I didn’t have time then," Sylvia said indifferently, "I just want to find out what kind of pet beast she contracted to select a suitable gift for her."
"I have no idea about that," the director glanced at his phone for the time, turning and saying, "You should ask her yourself. I have to go film now."
With that, he walked away.
Sylvia, from the corner of her eye, saw the figure still eavesdropping from a distance, and pretending as if she knew nothing, returned to her trailer.
"Xun Xun..."
The Swift Butterfly fluttered its wings and drifted out lazily.
That human must have spoken on purpose after noticing itself, right...?
This human really is troublesome. Previously, she constantly fed it Energy Pills that only a Dream Eater would consume, which it didn’t like at all, and when it refused, she thought it was being bashful, insisting it eat them. Heaven knows it almost puked.
Finally, another human admired its abilities, and of course, it wanted to switch sides.
Even though that human tricked it into a contract, it would actually be thrilled to be really contracted.
Despite telling her, she always assumed there were struggles involved.
Humans are always like this, always thinking they are the ones who are right.
But part of the blame lay with itself for being too excellent...
The Swift Butterfly continued these thoughts while flapping its wings towards the direction of work.

Room 502.
Yaobao clutched a phone, happily gazing at his handsome picture after evolution, wagging his tail wildly.
"Xun Xun~"
