Beast taming, starting from zero point-Chapter 151 - 146 The Old Lady

Chapter 151: Chapter 146 The Old Lady

Shi Gaofeng, Wang Yao, and Xu Yajie simultaneously and tacitly took two steps back.

Qiao Sang turned her head with a stiff expression, in the past it was always Shi Gaofeng who got caught red-handed, and now it was her turn, the feeling was truly indescribable…

Just as Shi Gaofeng and the others were metaphorically lighting a candle for Qiao Sang, Zheng Guoping spoke with a dark face, “Shi Gaofeng, if I hear the words ‘Zheng Baolong’ from you again, you will clean all the school’s toilets.”

Shi Gaofeng’s expression froze, and he was instantly stupefied, “Teacher, those three words just now weren’t said by me.”

Zheng Guoping snorted coldly, “If it wasn’t for you always babbling nonsense in front of Qiao Sang, how could she learn to say that?”

Shi Gaofeng looked baffled. That works???

...

Qiao Sang paused for a moment, then her eyes lit up. Zheng Baolong is mighty! That made perfect sense! If Shi Gaofeng didn’t always mention it in front of her, how would she have known this nickname.

“Teacher is wise,” Qiao Sang said sincerely from the bottom of her heart.

Zheng Guoping turned his head towards Qiao Sang and said in an even tone, “You’ve accepted the task, right? Send it to the group chat so I can see.”

Tasks accepted at the Beast Taming Center could be checked by logging into the Beast Tamer’s information on the official website of the Beast Taming Center.

As long as the Beast Tamer operates and agrees, they can also copy the link to others to synchronously check the progress of the tasks they are currently doing.

Qiao Sang quickly took out her phone and sent the task information to the Indomitable Holy Water group.

This pretentious group name belonged to the second-year school team; she joined it on her first day of the second-year school team’s training camp.

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.

After looking down for a while, when Zheng Guoping looked up again to speak, his tone was still as calm as before, “If you haven’t completed this task by the time we gather next, then go clean the girls’ restroom.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

Actually, Zheng Baolong had been harboring a grudge about her just mentioning his nickname…

This was definitely retaliation…

…

Liaocheng Pet Beast Cultivation Institution.

As soon as Qiao Sang entered, she saw a scene that seemed all too familiar, a man in a white short-sleeved shirt sat on a small stool, excitedly throwing cards.

Only, flanking him were not sand voles, but a small Duo-scorpion and a White Sand Fox.

Misleading pet beasts…

Upon hearing the sound of footsteps, the man turned his head and his eyes immediately lit up. Tossing the cards aside, he lunged forward until he was in front of Qiao Sang, his face flushed with excitement, “You’re here!”

If someone else saw this scene, they might think it was some touching reunion after a long separation.

Qiao Sang was a bit bewildered by the man’s attitude. It was not like this the last time they met, because the price was bargained down so fiercely that the man couldn’t even smile afterward.

“Hello, are my Energy Pills ready?” Qiao Sang asked politely.

“They’ve been ready, they’ve been ready for the past couple of days, I’ve been waiting for you to come over.” The man said enthusiastically, “Where’s the Flame Listening Dog? Why don’t you summon it out?”

Qiao Sang suddenly realized why his attitude had changed so quickly.

Last time she was here she didn’t mention the words ‘Flame Listening Dog’, he must have seen the news interview of her at the police station and recognized Yaobao as the Flame Listening Dog.

“He’s too handsome, I’m afraid someone will steal him,” Qiao Sang joked.

The man paused for a moment, then nodded earnestly, “You have a point.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

The man quickly brought out two large cans of Energy Pills.

The packaging for both cans was the same, with labels for Flame Listening Dog and Treasure-seeking Ghost, respectively.

After verifying everything, Qiao Sang took out her bank card, ready to pay off the remaining balance.

The man stopped her with his hand: “Since we’ve met, it’s fate. Out of so many Pet Beast Cultivation Institutions you could choose from, choosing us also implies a predestined relationship, so…”

Qiao Sang’s heart rate increased; she had always known the value of Yaobao’s new form. As long as the institute hadn’t yet figured out how to evolve a Fire-Toothed Dog into a Flame Listening Dog, Yaobao would be considered even rarer than a rare pet beast in everyone’s eyes.

Could it be that this shop was willing to offer her a discount or even waive the fee altogether to win her over?!

The purpose, undoubtedly, was to get her to promote their institution.

Seeing that this institution had such business acumen, it might not be impossible…

“So you can forget about the change, the total is 181,000, you’ve already paid a 20,000 deposit, just pay another 160,000 and that’s it,” the man said with a sincere face.

Qiao Sang: “…Thank you.”

…

Leaving the Pet Beast Cultivation Institution in Liaocheng, Qiao Sang summoned Yaobao in a nearby alley.

“Yaobao.”

Yaobao looked at its own Beast Tamer with an expression full of grievances.

“It’ll be over in a few days, have you forgotten the scene where we were surrounded for nearly an hour last time?” Qiao Sang consoled.

“Xun~”

Little Treasure-seeking Ghost emerged and responded with a sound.

“Yaobao…”

Yaobao pouted.

“There’s nothing to be done about it, who made you evolve so handsomely?” Qiao Sang sighed.

“Yaobao!”

Yaobao’s ears perked up, its tail wagged, and it became spirited in an instant.

Yes, indeed, there was nothing to be done, Who made one look so handsome!

Watching Yaobao’s reaction without a change in expression, Qiao Sang thought to herself how easy it was to soothe…

After some more chatter, Yaobao’s eyes curved, and it happily wagged its tail, returning to the Beast Taming Codex.

“Impressive,” Qiao Sang praised, looking at the little Treasure-seeking Ghost beside her.

If it hadn’t been for the little Treasure-seeking Ghost chiming in with her, Yaobao wouldn’t have been willing to return to the Beast Taming Codex so quickly.

“Xun~”

The little Treasure-seeking Ghost became bashful and shyly hid itself.

Soon, Qiao Sang felt her hair being lightly tugged by two forces.

With a slight curve of her lips, she walked out of the alley in the opposite direction of her home.

…

Xiying Residential Area.

Unit 5, Apartment 702.

Finding a lost Spectral-type Pet in the vast city was a task of extreme difficulty.

With five days left until the next assembly to report on the mission, Qiao Sang didn’t want to waste any time, so she went straight to the mission location without going home.

Unlike the style of many high-rise buildings in the city center, this residential area had a nostalgic aura.

Quiet, harmonious, with no elevators…

Fortunately, after some time spent running at school, Qiao Sang climbed up to the seventh floor without getting too winded.

The door was opened by a simply dressed aunt in her 50s.

“Who are you?”

“Hello, my last name is Qiao, I’ve come on a mission from the Beast Taming Center.” Qiao Sang replied.

The aunt paused, her surprise evident as she looked at Qiao Sang, “Hold on a moment, let me ask.”

After speaking, she turned and walked into the inner room, quickly reemerging.

“Come in please, you don’t have to take off your shoes,” the aunt said by the door.

Qiao Sang noted the interior’s simple setup, though spartan, it was very clean and the floor shiny, without much dust.

She paused but still chose to take off her shoes and enter.

Seeing this, the aunt looked surprised, her smile brought out crow’s feet at the corners of her eyes.

She glanced toward the inner room, hesitated, and then lowered her voice to say, “The one who posted the mission is our old lady. She’s a character—quirky and reclusive. And lately, since the Ghost-absorbing Lantern went missing, her temper has grown stranger and stranger.”

“There have been two Beast Tamers who took this mission before, and the old lady gave them bad reviews. You’re young, so I advise you to back out of the task.”

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, not because the thought of the task-poster being an eccentric old lady made her hesitate, but because she had never expected the task-poster to be an old lady!

She had always thought that the Ghost-absorbing Lantern belonged to a novice Beast Tamer…

Since the old lady was the owner, the contract with the Ghost-absorbing Lantern must have not been a short one. Logically, after living together for a long time, the Ghost-absorbing Lantern should have known how to find its way home. How could it get lost…
