Beast taming, starting from zero point novel Chapter 87

Chapter 87: Chapter 83: Releasing Life

“I’d like you to help me steal something,” Ye Jing Wen answered.

Oh, it’s not borrowing money then, so there’s no problem.

But stealing something…

Qiao Sang looked at Ye Jing Wen with a strange expression on her face, so you’re that kind of person…

It was clear that Ye Jing Wen could tell what Qiao Sang was thinking from the expression on her face.

“It’s not what you think, I just want you to help me steal a Magnetic Brute Rat out,” Ye Jing Wen quickly explained.

...

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, then she asked in surprise, “Steal a pet beast? Have you found a wild Magnetic Brute Rat’s lair?”

The control over wild extraordinary creatures in the rural towns wasn’t as strict as in the cities.

And, because Qitang Town was near mountains and water, wild extraordinary creatures often appeared.

In the absence of resources and Beast Tamers, these wild extraordinary creatures were mostly in their initial forms and found it difficult to progress further.

The town government didn’t pay much attention to them since they didn’t pose any significant danger.

If villagers reported them, authorities would take action, but if not, they wouldn’t go out of their way to patrol and create extra work for themselves.

This situation had led some people to sense business opportunities.

Normally, the capture of wild pet beasts mostly occurred in Secret Realms.

Beast Tamers did not necessarily capture wild pet beasts for contracting; it could also be for trade and profit.

If Ye Jing Wen had discovered a Magnetic Brute Rat’s lair and wanted Qiao Sang to capture a few for sale, it made sense.

Because the Alliance’s regulations allowed only Beast Tamers to sell wild pet beasts.

Not to mention whether ordinary people could capture wild pet beasts through other methods, even if they did, there was a high risk of the beasts breaking free without caution, offering no guarantee of safety.

However, some aspects still puzzled Qiao Sang.

Capturing a wild pet beast from its den, how could that be called stealing?

It made sense why Ye Jing Wen didn’t ask Ye Ranran for help since public servants couldn’t be involved in these kinds of pet beast trade incidents.

But didn’t she have a father who was a Beast Tamer?

There was no reason not to think of her own father first when it came to making money.

Before Qiao Sang could figure it out, Ye Jing Wen had already explained, “What are you thinking? I’m not asking you to steal from the Magnetic Brute Rat’s lair. My friend caught a Magnetic Brute Rat on the mountain, and I want you to steal it and let it go back.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

Ye Jing Wen continued, “A few days ago, I went up the mountain to look for Bahorn Grass and ran into a Velvet Spider. It was the Magnetic Brute Rat that saved me—I would probably be lying in the hospital if it weren’t for it.”

Qiao Sang’s eyebrows lifted, signaling for her to go on.

“Then, when I got back, I mentioned this to my friend, and he suggested buying some food that Magnetic Brute Rats like and going up the mountain to thank it. However, when we went, the day before yesterday, he actually brought his father.”

At this point, Ye Jing Wen visibly grew angry, “He lied to me! Saying he wanted to thank the Magnetic Brute Rat, but he actually wanted to catch it.”

The tone of her voice didn’t sound like it was merely directed at a regular friend; instead, it carried the sentiment of someone deeply resentful of a scumbag.

Ye Jing Wen’s tone shifted to self-reproach, “If the Magnetic Brute Rat hadn’t recognized me, it certainly wouldn’t have been so easily lured out by some food.”

She still remembered the way the Magnetic Brute Rat had looked at her.

After a moment of silence, Qiao Sang asked, “This friend of yours isn’t your boyfriend, is he?”

Ye Jing Wen: “!!!”

Seeing the shocked expression on Ye Jing Wen’s face, Qiao Sang continued in a meaningful tone, “Dating too early is not good.”

She had thought Ye Jing Wen was completely immersed in her studies and was surprised to find she had managed to balance both studies and romance…

“He’s not my boyfriend anymore,” Ye Jing Wen retorted.

This also indirectly confirmed the nature of their previous relationship.

Xiao Xunbao, the Treasure-seeking Ghost, had been listening to their conversation the whole time, and right after Ye Jing Wen finished speaking, it took out a bottle of milk from the ring and handed it over.

“Xun~”

Ye Jing Wen was startled.

She glanced at the ‘For Young Beasts’ label on the milk bottle and declined, “Thank you, I’m not thirsty.”

After rejecting Xiao Xunbao, Ye Jing Wen earnestly said, “Qiao Sang, can you help me steal the Magnetic Brute Rat out? Besides you, I can’t think of anyone else.”

She had been prepared to resign herself to that fate, when at that very moment, her cousin came back to their hometown. _{freёwebnoѵel.com}
