The beast starts from zero

"Laugh it off!"

Immediately afterwards, an angry voice rang out from inside.

Upon hearing the sound, the old lady could no longer maintain her smile; her expression changed drastically, and she turned and rushed into the house.

Sure enough, it was inside. Qiao Sang quickly led Ya Bao and the others inside.

Inside the house, a pet beast, mostly milky white with light purple stripes, light pink fin-like structures on its chest, a light purple tail, and two light purple thorns hanging naturally from its ears, was glaring angrily at Little Treasure Hunter.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter teleported to his Beastmaster's side, pointed at the mostly milky-white pet, and barked, indicating that Xiao Yulai was right there.

When Qiao Sang was looking for Xiao Yu Lai, she specifically searched for relevant information online. Xiao Xun Bao was watching nearby at the time, so she naturally knew what it looked like.

"Who let you in!" the old woman said, her brows furrowed.

Xiao Yulai looked angrily at Qiao Sang and Xiao Xunbao, his eyes flashing blue.

"Teeth!"

Ya Bao quickly stepped forward and stood in front of his beast tamer.

At the same time, a loud "boom" was heard outside, and dark clouds instantly gathered in the sky outside the window.

It looks like it's about to rain.

Qiao Sang, who was inside the house, quickly called out:

"Lu Bao!"

"Bingbing~ Bingbing~ Bing~ Bingbingbing~"

Lu Bao's head popped out of the backpack, and she opened her mouth.

A siren-like voice rose, and invisible sound waves spread out.

Soon, Xiao Yulai's and the old lady's expressions became peaceful.

The dark clouds outside the window dispersed, the sun appeared, and the sky once again revealed its azure blue.

"I mean no harm. I just want to ask Xiao Yulai a question." While the healing sound waves were still in effect, Qiao Sang quickly stated her purpose.

Before Xiao Yulai could speak, the old lady asked with a calm expression:
"What brings you here?"

“I have a pet beast that needs to absorb certain emotional energy from others that is related to itself to enhance its own power.” Qiao Sang didn’t waste any words and went straight to the point: “I heard that when Xiao Yu Lai is in a state of laughter, he can sense the emotions of all the residents of the entire Xiao Kingdom and absorb them, which will affect his own emotions. I want to know if this ability to sense emotional energy on a large scale is innate or can be achieved through training.”

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunt calmly called out from the side, indicating that I am that pet beast.

The old woman glanced at it and said calmly:
"Even so, you can't just come in without permission."

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter calmly pointed to his beast tamer and called out, indicating that his beast tamer had let him in.

Qiao Sang: "."

“I’m sorry,” Qiao Sang said. “But Xiao Yulai was clearly inside when you said he wasn’t. I couldn’t help it.”

There were actually ways, such as knocking the old lady unconscious and barging in, or taking her hostage and forcing her to come out, but those methods were too radical, so she didn't do them.

"The more you laugh, the better."

When Xiao Yulai called out calmly, it was because she didn't want others to know she was there.

After saying that, it showed an annoyed expression, feeling that it had said too much, but under the influence of the healing sound waves, its expression quickly turned peaceful again.

"Search?"

Little Treasure Hunter called out calmly, as if to say, "Why don't you want others to know you're here?"

"You've been talking too much, Little Treasure Hunter. In this situation, you should take advantage of the healing sound waves' effects to quickly understand what you're trying to figure out, and then leave as soon as possible. You've been affected by the healing sound waves, yet you're still so curious." Qiao Sang thought to herself, but didn't stop her.

Whether it's because she became an S-rank Beastmaster or because of the feedback from Lu Bao, the effects of the healing sound waves on her are now negligible.

She could think things through calmly: if Little Treasure Hunt had too many problems and the healing sound wave's effect wore off, she could simply have Lu Bao cast the healing sound wave again.

As the thought flashed through its mind, Xiao Yulai opened its mouth, about to answer, but just as it opened its mouth, its expression became conflicted, as if it was resisting the effects of the healing sound waves.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang quickly gave Lu Bao a wink.

Lu Bao understood immediately and opened her mouth again: "Bingbing~ Bingbing~ Bing~ Bingbingbingbing~"

Invisible sound waves spread out.

As Xiao Yulai smiled, the struggling expression on her face gradually disappeared, turning into a peaceful one.

But just then, it seemed to sense something, its brain instantly eliminating the effects of the healing sound waves, its peaceful expression quickly turning into anger, and it roared:
"Laugh it off!"

Immediately afterwards, his eyes glowed blue.

Just as it was about to unleash its power, it suddenly glanced at the old lady beside it, whose expression remained calm. The energy it was circulating shifted, as if it wanted to take Qiao Sang and Ya Bao with it and disappear from the house.

the other side.

On the street filled with saturated colors, Penjami carried the frozen Michael on her back, looked up at the sky that quickly turned cloudy, then cleared up, and then immediately turned cloudy again.

The creature whose eyes had been glowing blue, pretending to recognize people and pets around it, dispelled the blue light in its eyes, glanced at the sky, and let out a cry:
"Know it."

I have a feeling it's about to rain, maybe we should head back first.

"Spray spray."

Penjami called out calmly, indicating that there was no need to be afraid.

After he finished speaking, his eyes gleamed with a blue light.

The next second, a transparent barrier enveloped it, Michaela, and the Object-Knowing Monster.

The object-recognizing monster: "."

"Spray spray."

Penjami called out, indicating that we should continue searching.

As they spoke, the rain began to fall softly from the sky.

"Know it."

The creature, expressionless, let out a cry, its eyes flashing blue again as it looked at the people and pets around it who were frantically trying to find shelter from the rain.

In a bungalow in the suburbs.

The blue light in Xiao Yulai's eyes disappeared, replaced by a look of surprise and uncertainty. He looked at the human before him and called out:
"Laughing more?"

What did you do?
It seems that Xiao Yulai tried to teleport out, but failed. Qiao Sang thought to herself that it was fortunate that Xiao Xunbao had a telepathic connection with her before, and had cast a spatial blockade after confirming that Xiao Yulai was inside the house, thus avoiding the situation from happening again.

Although Xiao Yulai is a level higher than Xiao Xunbao, his movement skills are countered by spatial skills, so he can only break through the barrier to get out, rather than relying on his level advantage to move out directly.

It didn't take direct action, probably out of consideration for the old lady.
Unable to move out, the first thing it did was ask, rather than immediately take action or break through the barrier. It seemed genuinely unaware of why it couldn't move. This suggested it wasn't a pet beast that frequently engaged in combat. Qiao Sang quickly analyzed the situation and felt inexplicably relieved. It honestly stated:
"Because a spatial blockade has been imposed from the outside."

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter nodded calmly and called out, indicating that it was indeed me who performed the act.

Xiao Yulai suddenly looked at Xiao Xunbao, opened his mouth, and a stream of blue water containing terrifying energy shot out instantly.

Just as it was about to attack, Little Treasure Hunter vanished in an instant with a calm expression.

The terrifying torrent of water missed its target and instead rushed towards the house walls. Upon seeing this, Xiao Yulai's expression changed slightly.

At this moment, Qiao Sang spoke up: "Frozen."

A powerful, icy aura rapidly spread from Lu Bao's body, like a breath from the depths of hell, quickly freezing everything in the room.

However, this terrifying chill seemed to have a mind of its own, sparing all the creatures in the room and freezing only the others, including the terrifying stream of water that was about to hit the wall.

The terrifying flow of water instantly solidified into a thick layer of ice, turning into ice pillars that stopped moving.

Then, with a "crack," it shattered and turned into ice crystals scattered all over the ground.

Xiao Yulai first breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Lu Bao with suspicion.

Ya Bao and the others woke up in the extreme cold.

"Search!"

Little Treasure Hunter, remembering that he had almost been attacked, was startled and quickly teleported to Lu Bao's side.

"It's so cold."

The old lady was so cold that she squatted down, hugging her knees and curling up.

"Laugh it off!"

When Xiao Yulai saw this scene, he looked nervous, teleported over, and hugged the old lady.

"Ya Bao! Lu Bao!" Qiao Sang looked over and quickly called out.

I almost forgot that the old lady was just an ordinary person; even the icy aura that Lu Bao casually emitted couldn't withstand it.
"Teeth!"

Ya Bao instantly understood what its beast tamer meant, let out a cry, and slightly released the energy within its body.

The temperature in the air suddenly warmed up, and the frost in the room melted away at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, without saying a word, Lu Bao's forehead gem emitted an icy blue light that shone on the old woman.

Xiao Yulai instinctively showed an angry expression, but quickly sensed something, looked down at the old woman's relaxed expression, and exclaimed in surprise:
"Laugh it off!"

The old woman slowly opened her eyes. When she saw Xiao Yulai's surprised yet slightly worried expression, she smiled gently and said:
"I am fine."

Having said that, she stood up, looked at the girl in front of her—who looked old enough to be her granddaughter—with a complicated expression, and asked:

"who are you?"

Qiao Sang replied, "My name is Qiao Sang. I introduced myself last time. I am a professional beast tamer."

She continued in a helpless tone, "I really just came here to ask that question."

The old lady paused for two seconds, then turned to look at Xiao Yulai and said:

"Ah Xiao, tell her."

Although she wasn't a beast tamer, she could tell that the beast tamer in front of her, who looked like a young girl, was no ordinary person. Perhaps even Ah Xiao wouldn't be her match.

Indeed, if the other party were wary of Ah Xiao's strength, why would they appear in front of Ah Xiao so abruptly in this way?

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yulai, though somewhat unwilling, could tell that the other party's strength was extraordinary. If it were alone, it certainly wouldn't have compromised. However, remembering that the old lady was still there, it reluctantly let out a cry:
"The more you laugh, the better."

This is its own power, innate, and cannot be learned.

"Xunxun." Little Xunbao looked disappointed.

Slightly disappointed, Qiao Sang said, "I understand."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yulai suddenly realized something, his expression turned to surprise, and he exclaimed:
"Laughing more?"

Do you understand what I'm saying?

Qiao Sang nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I have a pet whose entire evolution chain relies on the power of bonds, so I can understand the language of my pet by relying on this power."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "I'm sorry to find out the answer I wanted in this way. The healing spell I just cast was the Light of Healing, and I think all of Grandma's illnesses have disappeared. Consider this my compensation."

Upon hearing this, the old woman's expression froze, and her first thought was: What? You called me grandma? You, a beast tamer who owns so many pet beasts, is stronger than Ah Xiao, and whose actual age is unknown, actually called me grandma?

The second thought immediately followed: What kind of skill is Healing Light? Is it that powerful?

Xiao Yulai was taken aback at first, then quickly looked at the old lady and called out:
"Laughing more?"

Is this skill useful to you?
Despite being an Emperor-level pet, it had been staying in the Laughing Kingdom for a long time and had never interacted with any beast tamers or pets possessing healing light, so it was unaware of this skill.

The old woman gathered her thoughts, looked at it, her expression somewhat sad, but she quickly composed herself, smiled, and said:
"I feel much lighter."

"Laugh it off!"

As he laughed, Lai's expression suddenly turned to surprise.

"Then I'll be going now," Qiao Sang said.

After she finished speaking, she looked at Little Treasure Hunter.

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter cried out, its eyes gleaming blue.

"Wait!" the old lady called out.

The blue light in Little Treasure Hunter's eyes faded.

Qiao Sang looked at her and asked, "Is something the matter?"

The old woman hesitated for a moment, then her eyes hardened, and she said:

“You are definitely not from our Laughing Kingdom. When you leave Laughing Kingdom, can you take Xiao Yulai with you?”

Qiao Sang: "???"

Xiao Yulai looked shocked; it seemed it hadn't expected the old lady to say such a thing.

"Why?" Qiao Sang realized and couldn't help but ask, "Isn't Xiao Yulai the guardian beast of Xiao Kingdom? Besides, if it wanted to leave, it could have left on its own."

"Laugh it off!"

Xiao Yulai quickly called out.

It doesn't want to leave the Land of Laughter! It wants to protect this place!

The old woman looked at it with some sadness and said, "But your body is getting weaker and weaker."

"Laugh it off!"

When Xiao Yulai called out seriously, it meant that it was alright and that it had promised its beast tamer that it would always protect the country!
"Wait, wait, wait!" Qiao Sang interrupted, "Can you understand what Xiao Yulai is saying?"

The old lady spoke gently:
"Although I am not its beast tamer, I grew up around Xiao Yulai, and I can understand its language."

The elder Qiao Sang asked again, "When Xiao Yu Lai is getting weaker and weaker, what does it have to do with whether or not he leaves Xiao Guo?"

"Search?"

Little Treasure Hunter was equally curious and exclaimed, "Yes, what does it have to do with anything?"
The old lady paused for two seconds and said in a deep voice:
"The more negative emotions Xiao Yulai senses, the more negative emotions it will have, and the worse its body will become. The people and pets in Xiao Kingdom are all suppressing their emotions. In the past six months, every time Xiao Yulai brings rain, it is full of negative energy. If it continues to stay like this, its body will become worse and worse. It is already considered an old pet."

Qiao Sang glanced at Xiao Yulai beside her, just about to speak.

Suddenly, Xia Bao called out in her sweet voice:
"Xia Xia."

However, the rain falling now carries no negative energy; all the plants are happy. (End of Chapter)
