Mikaela smiled and said, "Let’s sit on this Shoulder Ape King."
Saying so, she approached the Shoulder Ape King.
"Shoulder, shoulder."
The Shoulder Ape King bent down and warmly spread out its hand.
Mikaela walked onto its palm.
The Shoulder Ape King brought her to its shoulder, then looked at Qiao Sang.
Qiao Sang paused for a moment but eventually walked over.
The Shoulder Ape King took Yaobao and the others one by one onto its shoulder, then called out:
"Shoulder, shoulder?"
Mikaela needed no translation, and spoke up, "To the Beast Taming Center in the city center."
"Shoulder, shoulder!"
The Shoulder Ape King called out and, without navigation, walked forward quickly and steadily.
"Why choose to ride the Shoulder Ape King?" Qiao Sang asked in a lowered voice.
Mikaela said, "It’s your first time on Flame Sky Star, and you haven’t had a good look around. The Shoulder Ape King isn’t fast, but it has great endurance. Even walking for a day and a night won’t tire it out. Its shoulders are broad and comfortable to sit on. We can sit on its shoulder and slowly enjoy the scenery of Flame Sky Star."
"Riding on a bipedal pet beast also has another advantage; it can stop anytime without worrying about taking up space on the road. You can think of it as hiring a full-time driver for a day."
Thinking this way, it’s indeed quite nice... Qiao Sang instantly changed her impression of the Shoulder Ape King.
Then she remembered something and asked:
"I just saw many pet beasts without a Beast Tamer accompanying them."
Mikaela explained, "It’s like this on Chao Su Star. Most pet beasts move around on their own. In Chao Su Star, it’s humans and wild pet beasts coexisting. Many wild pet beasts look for work on their own. Most of the pet beasts you saw without Beast Tamers around them are wild pet beasts."
Wild pet beasts? Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment and looked at the Shoulder Ape King.
"Steel Chief..."
It’s different from Blue Star with its Secret Realms and unlike Chao Su Star, where wild pet beasts are driven to the Lower Three Districts, separated from most humans.
Here, humans and pet beasts coexist in the truest sense. Wild pet beasts move about in society, can obtain identities, and can buy anything.
Some wild pet beasts even hold high positions; they can even organize large competitions and invite wild pet beasts to participate.
Winning wild pet beasts attract attention and compete to contract with them.
Then the winning wild pet beasts state their requirements, and only those who meet them will come before the wild pet beasts to see if they’ll form a contract.
When Beast Tamers host battle competitions, wild pet beasts also come to watch. If they find one they like, they find a way to recommend themselves, hoping to form a contract.
Qiao Sang used to find this unbelievable, but now, having seen more, thinks this way of living on Flame Sky Star is pretty good.
After all, this way, Beast Tamers and pet beasts can meet their match, pursue their goals together, and grow stronger.
Moreover, under a coexistence relationship, Beast Tamers have more options. Unlike Blue Star, where they can only find pet beasts at the Pet Beast Base or breeding shops—and know that ordinary families’ Beast Tamers have no access to rare pet beasts.
And unlike Chao Su Star, where relationships with pet beasts are so rigid that even if they go to the Lower Three Districts to find rare wild pet beasts, the beasts just avoid people.
