Beast Taming: Starting from Transmigration and Starting with a Cheat Code

Qin Ming was almost convinced, but when he remembered that Cang Xuan had just gone to help at the dogfighting arena and that the white dog was covered in injuries, he found it hard not to connect the dots.

He crouched down and carefully examined the gray and white mixed-breed dog.

Although the wounds were bandaged, they were clearly fresh, with several bite marks still fresh and the opening on the abdomen still bleeding.

These injuries, coupled with the fact that Cang Xuan had just returned from that place...

"It's from the dogfighting arena?" Qin Ming looked up at Cang Xuan.

Cang Xuan remained calm and composed, showing no sign of guilt: "Yes."

"But the dogfighting arena is gone now." Cang Xuan added this sentence with great confidence, even with a hint of pride that "the wolves did a really good job."

Qin Ming remained silent for two seconds.

So Cangxuan means that the white dog originally belonged to the dogfighting arena, but now that the arena is gone, it's unclaimed and can be acquired by the capable? Is it a trophy?

Is this the key point?

Left with no other option, Qin Ming decided to ask from a different angle: "...Your companion, the SWAT officer named Chen Feng, saw you take it away...but he didn't object at all?"

This is a crucial question. If Chen Feng and the others try to stop him, but Cang Xuan insists on bringing him back, that would be a different story.

"Awoo, yes," Cangxuan's tail wagged gently, his tone relaxed and cheerful, "They're also discussing when to come and help with the vaccinations."

Qin Ming was taken aback.

Getting vaccinated? ...Is this really going through the motions? Is case management this lax these days?

Although a strange feeling lingered in his heart, Qin Ming trusted that Cang Xuan would not lie.

Because of the wolf king's pride, he disdains lying.

Furthermore, even if its origins are questionable, as long as the white dog's character is sound, he will do his utmost to acquire it. After all, finding a talented animal on Earth is a rare and precious thing.

But when it comes to character...

Qin Ming's gaze fell on the white dog, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Are dogs from dogfighting rings cruel and bloodthirsty?

In those kinds of places, every day is a life-or-death struggle. Which dog that survives didn't rise up by stepping over the corpses of its own kind?

If you bring back a bloodthirsty animal, not to mention whether you can raise it, just getting along with it on a daily basis will be a problem.

But when he caught a glimpse of Cang Xuan out of the corner of his eye, he recognized Cang Xuan as someone who had once been indifferent to life and death, yet remained calm, composed, and extremely reliable. Qin Ming felt certain.

Just then, the white dog trembled slightly and regained consciousness.

The moment it opened its eyes, its body entered battle mode.

Despite its weakness and numerous injuries, it still struggled to prop itself up on its front legs, baring its teeth and threatening the surroundings.

"Heh—"

It growled from deep in its throat, its voice filled with alertness and wariness.

Perhaps due to the change in environment, the white dog was quite wary. Despite the absence of a cage and the bright sunshine, it still felt uneasy and afraid.

It's an instinct formed from living in danger for a long time; any unfamiliar environment could be a trap, and any stranger could be an enemy.

It bared its teeth at Qin Ming, letting out a threatening growl, its eyes fierce.

Qin Ming raised an eyebrow and, out of respect for the patient, took a step back.

Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Cang Xuan take a step forward.

Qin Ming: ?

To be honest, isn't Cang Xuan more threatening? His aura, his physique, his eyes—he's far more terrifying than an ordinary human.

But what he saw next gradually stunned him.

The moment the white dog's gaze fell upon Cang Xuan, its fierce expression instantly turned into fear.

Its whole body visibly shrank back, its ears pressed tightly against its head, and its tail tucked between its hind legs.

But then it sniffed again and let out a confused whimper.

Fear turned into doubt.

That smell... it's so familiar and comforting...

Its head seemed to be starting up slowly, so it stood there blankly, its nose twitching incessantly.

Then, in a moment, Qin Ming clearly sensed the change in the white dog and couldn't help but feel joy and affection.

This emotion was so intense, so pure, as if a lost child had finally found their way home.

Ignoring its injuries, the white dog shakily stood up and jumped around Cang Xuan. Although it couldn't jump very high, and each jump aggravated its wounds, causing it to gasp in pain, it just couldn't control itself.

It jumped around while letting out cheerful whimpers, then lowered its head and gently touched Cangxuan's forepaw with its forehead.

That's a gesture of submission and respect among wolves.

Qin Ming: ? ? ?

He glanced at the white dog's face, beaming with the joy of "finding its tribe," then at Cang Xuan's calm, "well, good boy" expression, and an absurd thought popped into his head—

What did Cang Xuan do?

Why does it feel like I've adopted a son?

The white dog circled Cang Xuan several times, rubbing against his leg each time it circled, as if repeatedly confirming, "You're really here," "You really haven't disappeared."

It wouldn't stop even as the bandages on its body bled.

Until Cang Xuan let out a soft "roar," a sound that was not loud but carried a certain majesty.

The white dog immediately stopped and obediently lay down on the ground, its eyes still shining as it stared at Cang Xuan, its tail wagging back and forth on the ground.

Qin Ming scratched his head, his worries about the white dog's emotional stability largely gone.

To make a dog from a dogfighting ring show such an expression, Cang Xuan's skill was truly impressive.

After Cang Xuan's attempt to communicate—in fact, Qin Ming didn't know how they communicated, but they sniffed each other and exchanged a few glances—the white dog's attitude underwent a complete change.

Although it didn't immediately accept Qin Ming, at least its reaction to him wasn't as strong as it had been at the beginning.

Qin Ming tried to take a step closer, and the white dog glanced at him warily, but did not bare its teeth.

Taking another step closer, the white dog simply shrank back towards Cang Xuan.

Qin Ming had a clear understanding of the situation; all that remained was to proceed gradually and patiently.

With Cang Xuan around, the white dog will eventually accept him. After all, in the world of wolves and dogs, the pack will accept someone the leader approves of.

Several more days passed.

The white dog's injuries have almost healed. Chen Feng and Lao Mao did come to get vaccinated. When they arrived, their expressions were strange, and their eyes held a complex meaning in their gaze towards Qin Ming: "You should know that we know everything, but we can only pretend we know nothing." After getting vaccinated, they hurriedly said goodbye, and before leaving, they specifically told him, "Take good care of yourself, and let us know if you need any help."

Qin Ming felt even more uneasy, but since the other party was willing to cooperate, he was happy to play dumb.

In the past few days, the white dog's attitude has softened little by little.

From initial wariness and caution, to later allowing Qin Ming to approach, and then to eventually accepting food from him, every step was slow but steady.

Today, the white dog finally willingly ate the array crystal that Qin Ming had condensed, no longer suspecting poisoning, and then refused with utmost care.

Perhaps Cang Xuan had also done some persuasion, because the white dog finally stuck out its tongue, then closed its eyes and swallowed it.

Qin Ming looked on expectantly.

A semi-transparent light curtain appeared before his eyes—

Name: Wolf

[Attribute]: Fire + Poison

[Race Level]: Extraordinary (Under Development)

[Evaluation]: A survivor in the dogfighting arena, possessing extremely strong drug resistance, and under the stimulation of spiritual energy, it has mutated into a highly toxic secondary attribute.

Possessing extensive combat experience and an extremely strong fighting instinct, it is cautious and suspicious by nature. It regards Cangxuan, who saved it, as its leader and is willing to obey all its commands. It lacks trust in humans and requires long-term interaction to build a bond.

Qin Ming looked at the panel and felt satisfied.

Fire and poison, dual attributes.

He had seen many spirit beasts; single attributes were the norm, while dual attributes were rare.

The combination of fire and poison is extremely offensive; if properly trained, it would be a deadly weapon on the battlefield.

Qin Ming rubbed his chin, his gaze shifting back and forth between the control panel and the white dog.

The deal is basically done with the white dog. There's no need to worry about the white dog's intentions or talents.

The only problem is that it will take time to build trust with humans. However, the Spirit Masters of the Spirit Martial Continent are trained in this area and know best how to get along with them.

The rest depends on whether Zeng Guian has made the necessary preparations.

Qin Ming thought of Zeng Gui'an, who was still guarding his father in his hometown, and of the Wanxiang Linggen tree by the door that was still being planted with jujube trees. A slight smile appeared on his lips.

Good bro, I've prepared a big gift for you!
