The beast starts from zero

When Qiao Sang and Ya Bao appeared out of thin air, they saw Jiu Bu Gu looking sad.

She paused for a moment, then asked:
"Will I finally be able to escape the rain alone?"

Michaela hummed in agreement and changed the subject: "Why are you back so soon? Didn't you find Xiao Yulai?"

Qiao Sang sat down on the sofa and sighed:

"I didn't see it. When I went over, I only saw an old lady, but I sensed the presence of a pet in the house. It should be Xiao Yulai. It didn't come out. The old lady also said that she didn't have Xiao Yulai here. After that, I didn't sense the presence of any pet in the house again."

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure raised its paw and barked, indicating that it had teleported inside to check, and indeed, Xiao Yulai was not there.

“That’s right.” Qiao Sang continued, “Little Treasure Hunter also secretly went in to take a look. When it didn’t see Xiao Yulai, it must have taken the opportunity to leave during the conversation.”

Although the old woman said there was no laughing leopard in the house, she believed more in her own intuition with the spirit of the spirit and the location of the guiding sluice.

Michaela asked, "Who is that old lady?"

“I don’t know,” Qiao Sang said. “She didn’t reveal any information, and when I asked Xiao Yulai, she didn’t seem to want to continue the conversation. Then it started raining, so I left.”

"Are you sure Xiao Yulai was inside when he laughed?" Michaela asked.

After thinking for a moment, Qiao Sang said cautiously, "90%."

After all, she couldn't guarantee 100% certainty until she had seen Xiao Yulai in person.

“If it had been Xiaoyulai inside at the time, it might have been very unhappy because of your presence,” Michaela said, gesturing towards the rain outside the window.

"This rain, full of negative energy, is from your past period."

Qiao Sang glanced out the window, just about to speak.

Suddenly, I noticed that Jiu Bu Gu was so sad that tears were streaming down his face, and he was pounding the ground with his fist.

"Investigate!"

It's so powerful, why is it still single?! Why is that?!
Qiao Sang: "."

Michaela's lips twitched, feeling somewhat embarrassed. He raised his hand, about to put Jiu Bugu back into the Beast Taming Manual.

Qiao Sang picked up Xia Bao.

"Xiaxia."

Xia Bao was suddenly picked up and stared blankly at her beast tamer who was so close to her.

The flower buds on her neck swayed involuntarily, releasing a fragrance as delicate as that of nature.

The sad expression on Jiu Bugu's face gradually disappeared. It raised its head, wiped away the tears from the corners of its eyes in a daze, and then saw Lu Bao not far away. Its eyes suddenly lit up and it floated over.

Lu Bao recalled what Jiu Bu Gu had said when he was sad, and unconsciously took a step back.

Ultimately, I'm not alone: ​​"."

Michaela silently lowered the hand he was about to wave.

"It seems that the pet in the house at that time was Xiao Yulai." Qiao Sang returned to the main topic and said, "I can understand that it doesn't want to see strangers who just come to the door, but there are a few things I don't quite understand."

“What don’t you understand?” Michaela turned to look at her.

As Qiao Sang recalled the scene, she said, "The location was a relatively remote suburb with an average environment and houses. I feel that even if a country's guardian beast doesn't claim a territory to live in, it should live in a relatively beautiful place. Moreover, Xiao Yulai is the guardian beast of Xiao Kingdom, so there's no need for that old lady to deny that it was there."

“Even if it doesn’t want to see strangers and pets, it can just say it doesn’t want to. I think that with its status in the Kingdom of Laughter, as long as it doesn’t agree, no one and no pet will force its way in front of it.”

Michael pondered for a moment, then said:
"It is a bit strange. Perhaps Xiao Yulai did not want people to know that he was there."

"Don't you want people to know?" Qiao Sang thought for a moment, then agreed, saying, "I think so too."

"Do you still want to go find Xiao Yulai?" Michaela asked.

Qiao Sang didn't hesitate much and said, "I still want to find some time to go find it again. After all, this may allow Little Treasure Hunt to learn to sense and absorb the emotional energy of everyone's love for it on a large scale."

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure raised its paw and barked impatiently, indicating that it should go find Xiao Yulai again right now.

“We’re not looking for it now.” Qiao Sang looked at it and said with a smile, “Didn’t we just go looking for it? It didn’t want to see us at all, and now its location has changed. We don’t know where it is.”

"Search."

Little Treasure Hunter gave a "Okay then" look.

Michaela calmly said, "Even if you go to find Xiao Yulai again, he might not see you. Perhaps you could try looking for that old lady."

Qiao Sang was taken aback: "Grandma?"

“Yes.” Michaela nodded slightly. “Although I didn’t go there, based on your analysis, that old lady must know Xiao Yulai. Perhaps you can start with her to learn about Xiao Yulai.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang pondered for two seconds, then suddenly asked:

Do you think the Laughing Lion King of Laughing Kingdom had a beast tamer?

It's possible for a nation's guardian beast to have a beast tamer, just like Qingbao. Once it grows up, the hollow region of the Blue Star Dragon Kingdom will invite it to become their guardian beast.

Michaela said, "After all, it's a guardian beast; you might be able to find that on the Laughing Kingdom's website."

Without hesitation, Qiao Sang immediately took out her phone and searched for relevant content.

But soon, she put down her phone and shook her head in disappointment.

"There is no relevant information. The internet only introduces Xiao Yulai's basic situation and things like his guardian pet."

“There are two possibilities in this situation,” Michaela analyzed. “Either Xiao Yulai didn’t have a Beastmaster to begin with, or the relevant information was deliberately blocked or erased.”

She paused, then asked:

"Do you think that old lady might be Xiao Yulai's beast tamer?"

“No, that’s not it,” Qiao Sang said. “That old lady should just be an ordinary person. I think if Xiao Yulai had a beast tamer, it would be easier for me to communicate with the beast tamer.”

Now, as an S-rank Beast Tamer, she can keenly sense whether the other party is also a Beast Tamer, because as long as their brain has made a breakthrough and they have access to the Beast Taming Codex, they will have energy fluctuations that are significantly different from those of ordinary people.

The old lady I just met didn't have this kind of energy fluctuation.

Perhaps the old lady did have some connection with Xiao Yulai, but it was definitely not a contractual relationship between a beast tamer and a pet.

Michaela pondered for a few seconds and said, "If you want to know whether there were beast tamers before Xiao Yulai, perhaps you can ask Jian Yin Suo Suo."

Qiao Sang asked, puzzled, "Weren't all related messages online blocked and removed?"

Michaela laughed and said, "The Inspector has been active in the Tianyuan Star network for a long time. Even if the relevant information was deliberately erased in the past, it may still remember some of it."

She paused, then added:

"Many professional beast tamers will spend time erasing information about themselves online before participating in interstellar beast taming battles. For example, they might try to hide skill combinations or pet traits that were secretly photographed. However, this information always leaves traces. So, to find information that their opponents have specifically erased, they will specifically ask some mechanical-type pets that are active online in their opponent's region for help. This way, they may be able to find the erased information."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang's heart stirred, and she picked up her phone again, saying:

"I'll ask the inspector about the 'Haloxylon ammodendron'."

She found the contact information for the inspector and sent him the questions she wanted to ask.

A short while later, a reply came:

[The guardian beast of the Kingdom of Laughter, Laughing Yu Lai, did indeed have a beast tamer, but that tamer passed away several decades ago.]

So it turns out that some beast tamers have really passed away? Qiao Sang fell into deep thought.

It seems the only option is to approach Xiao Yulai in person, or perhaps that old lady.
“What did Jian Yin Suosuo say?” Michaela asked. “There was a Beastmaster in Xiaoyulai, but he has passed away,” Josang said succinctly.

Michaela pondered for a moment and said, "If Xiao Yulai doesn't want to see you, perhaps you can try to find the descendants of its beast tamer. Generally, when the beast tamer of such a pet passes away, it will take special care of the beast tamer's descendants."

"Descendants?" Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment and said, "This is too difficult to find. I think it's better to find that old lady. If it really doesn't work, I can just make the location more precise and go directly to Xiao Yulai's side."

Michaela laughed and said, "We'll do it your way, but don't forget the main purpose. Our primary goal here is to find alien pets."

Actually, if you follow her method, once you know the location, you can just have Penjami go to it. If Xiaoyulai refuses to communicate, a hypnosis will suffice.

The object-knowing monster glanced at her.

“I understand.” Qiao Sang nodded slightly.

Time passed slowly.

For the next three days, Qiao Sang went out early and returned late, taking Ya Bao and the others to training, and also taking the Object Recognition Monster to search for alien pets on the street in his spare time.

As expected, the latter gained nothing.

In a hotel rooftop room at dusk.

Qiao Sang and Ya Bao appeared out of thin air.

At this time, Michaela was still out searching for alien pets with the Object-Knowing Monster and had not returned.

As soon as Qiao Sang returned, he immediately formed hand seals and summoned Qing Bao.

"Clear!"

Qingbao appeared in the enormous golden star array, roaring angrily, while a fierce gust of wind swept around him.

Everything in the living room was blown away.

Qiao Sang was not surprised to see this.

During these three days, Qingbao would bicker with Xiao Xunbao several times while training or searching for alien pets. Each time they bickered, a strong wind would blow around it, which would attract the police to come and issue a fine.

One fine wasn't enough; she was often fined multiple times, which forced her to add Qingbao to the Beast Taming Manual.

Upon entering the Beast Taming Manual, Qingbao became even angrier, and every time it was summoned again, a fierce wind would inevitably blow around it.

This happens every single time.

“Lu Bao,” Qiao Sang called out.

"Ice~ ice ice ice~ ice~ ice ice ice~" Lu Bao opened her mouth and skillfully sang a song like a siren.

Invisible sound waves spread out.

Qingbao's angry expression gradually turned peaceful.

Everything fell.

“Little treasure hunter,” Qiao Sang called out.

"Search."

Little Treasure Hunter's expression was calm as his eyes gleamed with blue light.

All the fallen objects were immediately controlled by an invisible force and then slowly placed back into their original positions.

Five minutes later, the healing sound wave effect disappeared, and Qingbao's peaceful expression also vanished, replaced by a whirlwind that swept around him with a blank expression.

"Alright, alright," Qiao Sang quickly reassured her, "We can leave in another day."

Laughing Kingdom is not a large country, and in another day, almost all places will have been searched.

"Qingqing."

Qingbao looked at its beast tamer, the raging wind around it subsided considerably, and it let out a cry with a wronged expression.

“I understand,” Qiao Sang said understandingly. “The laws here are just too bizarre. If someone keeps talking about things that make me angry and keeps fining me, I definitely won’t be able to control my emotions.”

"Clear!"

Upon hearing this, Qingbao felt even more aggrieved and threw herself into her beast tamer's arms, complaining about the rules of the Laughing Kingdom and the police who fined her.

Despite its accusations, the fierce winds surrounding it had completely disappeared.

Qiao Sang held Qing Bao and gently stroked its back to comfort it.

Gangbao looked at his beast tamer with admiration.

"Search?"

At this moment, Little Treasure Hunter called out, indicating when he would go to find Xiao Yulai again.

Qingbao stopped complaining, turned around and glared at Xiaoxunbao, her eyes saying: Didn't you see that your own beast tamer is comforting me!

"Search."

Little Treasure Hunter instinctively showed an expression that said, "I was wrong."

It's indeed time to go find Xiao Yulai again, otherwise we'll have to leave Xiao Kingdom soon. Qiao Sang loosened her grip, released Qingbao, took out her phone, and said:
"I'll ask about the location of the inspection of the 'Suo Suo Xiao Yu Lai'."

Qingbao glared at Xiaoxunbao, and although it looked dissatisfied, no wind actually stirred around it.

Little Treasure keenly sensed that Qingbao wasn't really angry, so she stayed where she was and blinked innocently.

Soon, the probe sent back the relevant location information.

"The location has been sent," Qiao Sang said, looking at her phone.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter floated over, looked at the location, and its eyes glowed blue.

The next second, he disappeared from the spot with his beast tamer and Ya Bao.

Suburbs, low and old bungalows.

Qiao Sang and Ya Bao appeared out of thin air.

Once again, Qiao Sang looked around at the surroundings and paused for a moment.

"Teeth?"

Ya Bao also looked around, a puzzled expression on his face, and called out, as if to say, "Have we been here before?"
“It’s the same place,” Qiao Sang said in a deep voice.

After saying that, she suddenly thought of something and winked at Xiao Xunbao into the house.

Little Treasure Hunter instantly understood his Beastmaster's meaning, nodded like a thief, and disappeared into the shadows.

Just as it disappeared, the door opened.

The old lady frowned slightly when she saw Qiao Sang and Ya Bao, but quickly smiled and asked:
"Why are you here again?"

Qiao Sang told the truth: "When I came to find Xiao Yulai..."

"I already told you, it's not here with me." The old lady said helplessly, "How could a place like this have Xiao Yulai?"

As soon as the words were spoken, Little Treasure Hunter's voice rang out from inside the house:

"Search!"

Laughing More and More Lai Shi is here! (End of this chapter)
