Beast taming, starting from zero point novel Chapter 84

Chapter 84: Chapter 80: Spirit Plant Master

“Tooth?”

The Fire-Toothed Dog tilted its head, quite puzzled by its little brother’s actions.

“Xun~”

The little Treasure-seeking Ghost sweetly called out to the wind sculpture.

The wind sculpture didn’t know the Treasure-seeking Ghost but recognized Qiao Sang.

As a member of the order keepers in Qitang Town, it was familiar with the behavior of the Treasure-seeking Ghost.

...

People often tried to bribe it with food or drink, but it had always righteously refused.

But the creature in front of it was its master’s sister’s Pet Beast, which by rounding up, sort of made them family.

Should it accept the gesture to give face…

The wind sculpture felt conflicted.

It glanced at the small bottle of milk in front of it.

To call this bribery seemed a bit shabby; it had weaned off milk at the age of three…

This must simply be a friendly gesture.

What ill intentions could a little one with milk to spare have?

The wind sculpture quickly came to terms with it.

“Feng xiou.”

It slightly spread its huge wings, lowered its head, and used its beak to pop the milk bottle cap off with the help of the little Treasure-seeking Ghost’s claw.

Then it picked up the bottle with its mouth and guzzled down the full bottle of milk in one go.

Catching the empty bottle with its wing, the wind sculpture gave the little Treasure-seeking Ghost a friendly smile.

“Xun.”

The little Treasure-seeking Ghost, seeing the milk finished, happily called out.

It then pointed at and gestured toward the wind sculpture’s tail.

“Xun.”

“Xun Xun.”

“Xun.”

A gust of wind blew by, and the wind sculpture remained as rigid as a statue in its place.

So this was the little one’s idea all along!

It hastily stepped back, shaking its head like a rattle-drum.

“Xun Xun!”

“Xun!”

The little Treasure-seeking Ghost pointed at the empty bottle still held by the wind sculpture.

The wind sculpture stood there dumbfounded, struggling within itself.

Its master had told it that as a public servant, it mustn’t casually take others’ belongings, or it could be reported.

If it got reported, its master’s job might be at risk…

The wind sculpture hesitated for a long while, then extended its wing to the back.

“Feng xiou!!!”

Qiao Sang and Ye Ranran, who were in conversation, got startled and turned to see the tearful wind sculpture and the innocent-faced little Treasure-seeking Ghost.

The Fire-Toothed Dog watched the whole process with its eyes wide open.

Its inner world was filled with unprecedented confusion.

So, this was also an option…

…

Qiao Sang’s old house wasn’t in the center of the town but was located near the water trade route by the Liu Gan Stream.

The houses here weren’t tall buildings; they were all old homes with courtyards.

The mountains were beautiful, the water was pure, and the air was fresh, but it was inconvenient for take-out delivery or any other services.

Her eldest uncle made some money a few years back and renovated the old house, making it look rather grand among the adjacent homes.

After dropping Qiao Sang off at the old house, Ye Ranran suggested they go together to check on the blind date.

Qiao Sang decisively refused.

Wasn’t that just asking her to be a third wheel?

Her third aunt had already cleaned up the room Qiao Sang used to stay in.

After simply settling in her stuff, Qiao Sang went to visit her grandparents.

The old couple weren’t in good health, so they rarely walked around outside.

Her grandmother used to be quite domineering, but had become much more amiable with age.

If it had been earlier, seeing such an uncontrollable Pet Beast, she might have picked up a shoe to chase and beat it.

Now, she merely smiled and made small talk.

Her grandfather was a proud man in his youth and participated in many competitions big and small.

After entering a C-grade Secret Realm deemed dangerous by the Alliance, his originally contracted Pet Beast had perished there.

Upon returning, dispirited, he gave up his previous ambitions and settled in Qitang Town to marry and start a family.
