Beast Tamer: I'm invincible because I can see the evolution path!

Chapter 144 The Absolutely Forbidden Sea King Box: Poisonous Flower Jellyfish! Qiao Bai: His Brain Mutated Too

But right now, the most important thing is the request from little Cai Cai.

Facing Cai Cai, who was still just a little girl, Qiao Bai didn't choose to lie. Instead, he looked at her seriously and said, "Well... big brother can't be sure until he sees her in person."

"Maybe he can be saved, maybe he can't."

"But big brother is very amazing!" Cai Cai frowned, as if she didn't quite understand what Qiao Bai was saying.

Qiao Bai patted the little girl's head: "Being good doesn't mean you can do everything."

The little girl, Cai Cai, stopped talking.

"Do I still need to go and take a look?" Qiao Bai asked.

Actually, he did have a slight desire to go.

It was also because they didn't know what kind of supernatural creature it was. If it was some kind of powerful supernatural creature, the entire orphanage might be in danger.

It would be better if he went to check and eliminate the danger first.

Cai Cai thought for three seconds, then nodded emphatically: "Even though big brother said that, I still think big brother is amazing!"

"I'll take my older brother!"

As she spoke, Cai Cai grabbed Qiao Bai's trouser leg and started walking.

Qiao Bai, who hadn't had time to get up, almost stumbled and fell to the ground. Fortunately, he quickly stood up and followed the little girl's lead to walk forward.

After turning a corner in front of the courtyard, Qiao Bai saw a small pond that was neither too big nor too small.

It looks like it can accommodate 30 to 50 people; any more than that and it will be a bit crowded.

The bottom of the pool is visible at a glance, ensuring there is no risk of drowning.

The water is very clear.

Upon approaching Qiao Bai, he was surprised to discover that it was actually a pool of flowing water.

Water is drawn in from above and then flows out from behind a rock below towards the outside of the welfare home.

"Eggs! Eggs! Eggs!" When she reached the small pond, Cai Cai probably started to worry about her "little friend". She subconsciously let go of Qiao Bai's trouser leg and walked very clearly toward a large rock.

Qiao Bai followed behind the little girl, Cai Cai.

then……

kindness?

Qiao Bai felt as if he saw something gently swaying in the clear, transparent pool of water.

When he looked again, it had disappeared, as if the ripples that had appeared were just his illusion.

However, Qiao Bai doesn't think so.

On one hand, Qiao Bai was very confident in his own abilities, and on the other hand, it was because of the little girl Cai Cai.

Wasn't he the one who came with Cai Cai to find the egg that no one else could see?

"Big brother, you're amazing!" Cai Cai, squatting by the water's edge, noticed where Qiao Bai's gaze was fixed. Her face showed surprise and admiration. "Big brother found Cai Cai's location right away!"

"Big brother will definitely be able to save Dandan!" As she spoke, Cai Cai's little face gradually turned rosy, filled with excitement.

Happy.

Excited.

I can't wait.

"Ahem." Qiao Bai coughed twice, embarrassed, with one hand clenched into a fist. Being praised by the little girl... sigh, what's the big deal?

Then Qiao Bai pointed to a spot in the pool. To the naked eye, there was nothing there, but Qiao Bai said with certainty, "Cai Cai, where exactly is the egg, right?"

"Yes!" The little girl, Cai Cai, nodded heavily again, her gaze towards Qiao Bai becoming increasingly adoring.

Great!

Big brother is really amazing!

Others couldn't see the transparent testicles at all.

Even her discovery of the egg was a stroke of incredible luck; she saw the egg's tentacles with small blue rings.

But the older brother was able to pinpoint the location of the egg on his first visit—the little girl Cai Cai's eyes sparkled as she looked at Qiao Bai.

"How did you do that, big brother? Can you teach me?" Little Cai Cai curiously approached Qiao Bai, looking up at him with pitiful eyes.

Qiao Bai: "..."

Hmm—this one...

"It's a secret." Qiao Bai held up one finger, shamelessly deceiving the innocent and naive girl without a trace of remorse. "When Cai Cai grows up to be as big as her big brother, she will naturally find out."

Cai Cai looked completely convinced.

Qiao Bai: A phantom pang of conscience, which doesn't exist, shot through my mind.jpg

Qiao Bai explained that it wasn't that he was heartless and wanted to fool the young girl; it was simply that he didn't know how to explain it properly.

Even though he hadn't used any skills, Qiao Bai still had a feeling that there was something in that spot.

It's what Cai Cai called "eggs".

As for where this feeling came from... Qiao Bai didn't know for a while, and the expression on Qiao Bai's face gradually became complicated and strange.

No way, really?

Is he about to awaken some kind of cheat ability again?

For example, another talent skill or something?

Is he the legendary genius with five spiritual roots? (crossed out)

Before Cai Cai could look over, Qiao Bai quickly adjusted his expression and banished all those unreliable thoughts from his mind.

"A question—" Qiao Bai drawled, instantly diverting the little girl's attention: "Our lively, cute, and kind Cai Cai, has anyone ever secretly touched her 'good friend's balls?"

Cai Cai: "!"

Cai Cai's eyes widened suddenly. She hugged the brown teddy bear in one hand and covered her mouth tightly with the other, as if trying to suppress the words "How did you know?" that were about to escape her lips.

however.

What the little girl didn't know was that her innocent and naive eyes had already betrayed her.

Qiao Bai could tell what she was thinking at a glance.

"It seems our little Cai Cai isn't a well-behaved child," Qiao Bai said again.

"Cai Cai is a good girl!" This time, Cai Cai couldn't hold back any longer. She quickly lowered her hand, her little face earnest as she defended herself, "Cai Cai really is a good girl!"

Cai Cai emphasized it twice.

obviously.

Even kids these days know that the more important something is, the more it needs to be said multiple times.

Qiao Bai smiled inwardly, but kept a straight face: "But if Cai Cai were a good girl, why would she touch my balls?"

"Cai Cai should have learned that other people's pets and unfamiliar supernatural creatures should not be touched lightly." As he spoke, Qiao Bai's expression gradually became serious.

A world where humans and supernatural beings coexist.

Children's preschool education includes mentioning the horror and destructive power of supernatural beings.

Children naturally know not to touch ugly supernatural beings, but there are inevitably some supernatural beings that are really good-looking.

It's not just children who can resist it; even some adults find it irresistible.

But looking good is one thing.

Safety is one thing.

Just for the sake of something pretty, you might touch it or rub it, but you risk losing your life or even half your life. That's not a worthwhile thing to do.

Upon hearing this, Cai Cai, who wanted to defend herself, moved her lips a couple of times but couldn't utter a word of explanation.

She had her head down and looked quite uneasy and guilty.

Qiao Bai sighed upon seeing this.

Hey.

Kids, you know.

That's enough. Put some pressure on the girl and teach her a lesson so she won't do it again.

"Alright, alright, big brother knows it's not your fault, but Cai Cai needs to remember these words." Qiao Bai reached out and patted Cai Cai's head.

Cai Cai nodded: "Okay! Cai Cai understands!"

Seeing the slight unease in Cai Cai's eyes, Qiao Bai smiled and decisively skipped the topic: "Alright, let's see what kind of situation Cai Cai's friend is."

As he spoke, Qiao Bai rolled up his sleeves, took a step onto the large rock next to him, squatted down on the rock, bent over and stretched his hand into the water.

Cai Cai immediately forgot the pressure Qiao Bai had just put on her. She clenched her little hands into fists, staring at Qiao Bai's hand movements with a tense and excited expression, and peered into the water.

Qiao Bai reached his hands into the water and precisely caught the spot where he felt something but couldn't see it.

next second.

Qiao Bai touched something real in his palm.

Soft.

It's icy cold.

A small clump.

Qiao Bai wanted to say it was like a ball of water, but his hand was in the water, and he could clearly feel that what he was touching was different from real water.

He curiously poked it with his finger.

A round, plump lump.

No wonder little Cai Cai thought it was an egg.

Qiao Bai, who had actually hatched a pet egg, also knew that this was not an egg, but simply an unknown extraordinary creature curled up in a ball.

Despite Qiao Bai's handling of this extraordinary creature for so long, it still showed no signs of moving.

Qiao Bai began to wonder if this thing was really no good.

I was just about to open my talent skills and take a look.

The little white snake somehow managed to escape the group of children surrounding it and easily swam over to Qiao Bai's side. It then immediately noticed Qiao Bai's hands, which were soaking in the small pool.

The little white snake went into the water.

Not a single splash.

Qiao Bai and Cai Cai could only see the little white snake swimming towards Qiao Bai through the ripples in the water.

Little White Snake: awu——

I'm sleepy!

It's sleeping on the Beastmaster's body!

Qiao Bai's hands happened to be cupped together, and the little white snake didn't think much of it, nor did it see what was in Qiao Bai's palms. It instinctively wanted to coil its body in Qiao Bai's palms.

The answer is simple: who isn't a child at heart?

Is it wrong for the little white snake, a snake hatched by the beast tamer himself, to like sticking to the beast tamer?

No!

then……

Then the little white snake unexpectedly encountered the strange creature in Qiao Bai's hand.

Little white snake: "!"

Strange, extraordinary creature: "!"

The unknown supernatural creature, which had previously remained unresponsive to Qiao Bai's prodding, gradually became more and more agitated as the little white snake approached.

With a "whoosh," it opened up its body, which had curled up into an egg shape.

Qiao Bai finally saw clearly what this strange, extraordinary creature actually looked like.

That was a clump of... jellyfish?

Qiao Bai thought uncertainly.

Translucent, soft as a veil, drifting with the current, the soft head of a jellyfish.

Its lower body consists of eight tentacles.

Six of the tentacles are about the same length as the jellyfish's head, while only two of the tentacles are like those of a normal jellyfish, long and thin like beautiful ribbons.

The six relatively short tentacles are dotted with small blue circles.

Qiao Bai subconsciously thought of a certain marine product, the blue-ringed octopus.

But this is a jellyfish!

"kulu——"

The blue-ringed jellyfish, as Qiao Bai tentatively calls it, kept spitting bubbles towards the little white snake. Amazingly, the bubbles it spit out were multicolored, and one after another they crashed into the little white snake.

Little white snake: "!"

Brave snake, unafraid of difficulties!

Brave snake, charge!

Brave Snake was even mentally prepared for these bubbles to have special abilities. No matter if it meant slowing down, reducing attack power, stunning, or a bunch of other random things, Snake was going all out!

then……

The little white snake easily popped the bubbles with its tail, completely unharmed, looking as energetic as if it hadn't exerted much effort at all.

Snake: "?"

The little white snake's tail was slightly raised, and after twisting and turning, it magically formed a question mark shape, vividly expressing the doubt in its heart at that moment.

This was also a question in Qiao Bai's mind.

No?

What exactly is the purpose of these beautiful, yet poisonous, bubbles?

Why does the little white snake seem completely unaffected?

Blue-ringed jellyfish: "..."

Blue-ringed jellyfish: QAQ

Without needing a contract, Qiao Bai sensed the blue-ringed jellyfish's inner turmoil—wanting to cry but daring not to—through his innate skills alone.

"Kulu..."

*Sob*

Waaaaah!

The crying grew louder and louder.

frighten……

It failed...

Qiao Bai also fell silent.

Good guy.

The seemingly substantial bubble of emotions is actually used to intimidate opponents.

Just like how a squid spits out ink to scare its prey when it gets caught?

To subdue the enemy without fighting?

Good idea.

Unfortunately.

The blue-ringed jellyfish's adversaries are not ordinary creatures of nature, but extraordinary beings with superhuman strength and intelligence approaching that of humans.

Just like how humans, when they catch a squid, are not scared by its ink spurts, but instead eat it.

Even extraordinary creatures won't be scared by the blue-ringed jellyfish's little trick of blowing bubbles.

They'll only want to attack the blue-ringed jellyfish more—attack is the best defense. They've already been shown skills by the other side, how can they not fight back?

The little white snake rushed forward, flicking its tail and slapping the blue-ringed jellyfish left and right a few times.

Qiao Bai could hear it.

The blue-ringed jellyfish's cries were interrupted for a moment by the blow; the entire jellyfish was stunned, as if it hadn't realized what had happened.

Seeing that the blue-ringed jellyfish didn't fight back and only bluffed by waving its two tentacles that posed no threat at all, the little white snake, who had rich combat experience following Qiao Bai and was usually being rubbed by Da Bao or Er Bao, instantly lost interest in this blue-ringed jellyfish.

With a flick of its tail, the little white snake swam towards Qiao Bai once again.

This time, the little white snake successfully took up a spot on Qiao Bai's body.

The little white snake squinted its eyes.

Completely ignoring the blue-ringed jellyfish beside it, it began to doze off.

But he could still hear the blue-ringed jellyfish wailing in his ears, and Qiao Bai's gaze met the reproachful look of the little girl Cai Cai beside him: "..."

He had something to say but couldn't say it.

It's not easy to defend myself.

To say he didn't do it on purpose?

Um...would the little girl believe that?

"I know big brother definitely didn't do it on purpose." Cai Cai seemed to have guessed what Qiao Bai was thinking. She bit her nails and said in a muffled voice, "Snake was playing with Egg!"

Qiao Bai: "That's right! That's exactly it!"

"Big brother, let's check on Blue Ring Water... cough cough, how's Egg doing?" Qiao Bai said, waving to the small jellyfish floating on the water's surface, which at first glance looked like some kind of plastic trash.

Qiao Bai no longer wanted to refer to it as the blue-ringed jellyfish.

It doesn't deserve it.

Even a regular blue-ringed octopus is much more powerful than it.

A single sting is highly toxic.

And look at this jellyfish?

cough.

Qiao Bai is not suitable to be described.

The little jellyfish had no face, but Qiao Bai could sense that it was looking at him timidly with its eyes, its six short tentacles and two long tentacles expressing its complete rejection.

Refuse.

A firm refusal.

Thank you.

But can we maintain a friendly and harmonious distance between us?

Qiao Bai: Smiling.jpg

As a reasonable person, the little jellyfish had already shown its resistance to this extent, so of course he... couldn't agree!

Little jellyfish: "..."

So what's the point of asking?

"Kulu..."

dictatorship!

tyrant!

overbearing!

Taking advantage of the fact that humans cannot understand the voices of extraordinary beings without a contract, the little jellyfish muttered complaints, racking its brains to utter every single word it had ever encountered.

Qiao Bai remained silent.

He just watched quietly as the little jellyfish fully emerged from the pool and floated in mid-air.

The jellyfish, now completely separated from the pool, was no longer the transparent creature that blended seamlessly into the water. Instead, it shimmered with a faint, transparent, multicolored light.

It's like the feeling of looking through a cathedral's stained glass window.

Qiao Bai: "?"

Is this really a jellyfish?

If this is a jellyfish, why can it fly?

The little jellyfish drifted leisurely to Qiao Bai's side, dawdling and reluctant to get close to him, maintaining a distance that could be considered safe.

"Say something," Qiao Bai said abruptly, "I heard you cursing at me just now."

Little jellyfish: "!"

The tiny jellyfish, whose body was as soft as a wisp of air, suddenly stiffened and magically froze in mid-air.

Unable to contain his curiosity, Qiao Bai reached out and plucked the small jellyfish that was floating in mid-air at eye level, squeezing it a couple of times in his hand.

The feel of it is different from when it was in the water.

If the jellyfish feels similar to water when it's in the water, once it leaves the water, its body becomes more bouncy and chewy, making it feel like a stress-relieving toy.

It makes you want to keep squeezing it.

Qiao Bai suddenly realized what was happening when he met the gaze of the little girl Cai Cai beside him.

cough.

cough cough cough.

Now is not the time to play with stress-relieving toys... oh no, I mean, little jellyfish.

Qiao Bai activated his talent skill and looked at the little jellyfish that was stiff in his palm, as if it were playing dead.

"Ugh—"

[Pet: Box Poison Jellyfish]

【Attribute: Special】

[Type: Advanced Transcendent Mid-Tier]

【grade:--】

[Skills: Colored Bubbles, Playing Dead, Stun, Holding Breath]

[Evolutionary Path: ——]

[Gluttony: The more food energy you consume, the faster you grow and the faster your strength increases (upgradeable)]

[Waaaaah... Kulu... So unlucky... I'm so hungry and weak, I don't want to fight, but I still want to eat tentacles...]

Qiao Bai hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Qiao Bai looked down at the six short tentacles of the little jellyfish he was holding.

Before, when they were far away, they didn't notice anything, but now that they were closer, and Qiao Bai already knew the answer in advance, he immediately realized that these six short tentacles weren't naturally that short; from the very edge, he could see a few traces of gnawing.

However, it should have been some time by now, and the wound should have healed on its own.

Qiao Bai: "..."

"No level, no evolution path, is it because you haven't eaten enough?" Qiao Bai looked at the strange attribute panel and said he could understand it very well.

Let's talk about the box jellyfish.

Qiao Bai knew about this extraordinary creature.

It is one of the dominant species living in the ocean.

Its main distribution area is at the coastal border between China and the neighboring small country, and then in the transoceanic basin, the largest of the four oceans.

There, the poisonous jellyfish reigns supreme.

It is one of the most notorious places in the Hengyang River Basin that you shouldn't mess with.

Their combination of water and poison allows them to roam freely in the ocean; even a tiny amount of their mild toxins can kill humans and other supernatural beings.

Moreover, this toxin is completely impossible to collect.

Because there is no instrument that can withstand the corrosive effects of the poisonous jellyfish venom; just a single drop can burn the entire instrument.

Box poison jellyfish do not evolve, but as they grow, the concentration of toxins in their bodies only increases. A box poison jellyfish over one hundred years old can easily destroy an entire country with the toxins it has accumulated.

Multiple factors combined.

There is still no Beastmaster who can tame the Poison Flower Jellyfish.

It's not just China that doesn't have it, but other countries don't either.

It's not like there aren't some reckless or overconfident poison-attribute beast tamers who've considered contracting a Box Poison Flower Jellyfish.

Then these people left and never returned.

The only one who returned was considered a miracle for a time, as people believed that his body had surpassed the venom of the box jellyfish.

Later, this beast tamer, who didn't have much talent in beast taming but instead started giving interviews, constantly promoting and praising his experiences, and even writing a book about it, revealed the truth in a drunken slip of the tongue—

The reason he was able to come back alive is simply because he never went!

He regretted it halfway there.

But I feel embarrassed to go back directly.

So he circled the ocean, had extensive conversations with many local fishermen, and finally, combining their experiences, he fabricated a story that seemed flawless.

If he hadn't said it himself, no one would have noticed.

The public, upon learning of this, were speechless.

It has a strong dark humor element.

But all this is just to illustrate one point—the box jellyfish is precious and poisonous.

It is not something a normal human beast tamer could tame.

It is one of the few extraordinary beings listed as absolutely forbidden to contact.

and so……

How did this seemingly weak, strangely skilled, and obviously mutated box jellyfish end up in this orphanage?

Qiao Bai was completely baffled.

You can't see it by listening to the little jellyfish's thoughts or looking at its inner thoughts.

The little jellyfish was either crying and hiccuping or silently crying out for food, and it hesitantly stretched out a long tentacle, its whole body exuding a mix of conflicted emotions, excitement, and cravings.

Little jellyfish: To eat or not to eat, that is a good question.

I'm so hungry—I should eat!

The little jellyfish was about to shove its tentacles under its shell and swallow it whole.

Suddenly, a strong aroma wafted over.

The little jellyfish froze on the spot.

Little jellyfish: (﹃)

It smells so good... It's a smell that makes your mouth water and makes your stomach even hungrier!

babble-

Not anymore!

I can't hold back anymore!

Let's eat both tentacles together!

The little jellyfish, whose brain was completely occupied by gluttony, didn't care about anything else.

How do you attack without tentacles?

If we don't eat it, there won't be a future.

Before the tentacles could even be inserted into the jellyfish's shell, the fragrant food was already shoved inside.

Little jellyfish: Confused.jpg

"Cai Cai, can you go find something to eat?" Qiao Bai asked, feeding the little jellyfish while also remembering Cai Cai who was waiting nearby. "Your friend... is this little jellyfish. It's hungry and wants to eat."

Cai Cai's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Is Dan Dan hungry?"

"Cai Cai will go get the food now! Big brother, wait for me!"

As she spoke, Cai Cai dashed off toward the kitchen with a "patter" sound.

Having fooled the little girl Cai Cai, Qiao Bai no longer needed to pretend to take the food out of his pocket.

After all, judging by the speed at which the baby jellyfish eats, one or two bites are simply not enough to satisfy it.

It's normal for someone to pull a cat treat or a cookie out of their pocket, but it's not normal for them to keep pulling food out of their pocket. Qiao Bai wouldn't underestimate these children in the orphanage, especially the clever and mischievous Cai Cai.

The little jellyfish couldn't hear the conversation between Qiao Bai and Cai Cai at all; its entire attention was completely occupied by the delicious-smelling food.

Food falling from the sky?

Before the little jellyfish could even process what was happening, its mouthparts began to move rapidly as it began to eat—I eat, I eat, I eat!

Eat to your heart's content!

A powerful suction!

Slurp—gone—oh wow, the food reappeared, keep slurping—and so on.

A minute passed.

The little white snake wrapped around Qiao Bai's wrist didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with it.

Five minutes passed.

The little white snake thought this weak-looking jellyfish had a rather large appetite.

Ten minutes have passed.

The little white snake was wondering what organ the little jellyfish used to digest its food.

Otherwise, why could they eat non-stop for a full ten minutes and still continue to eat so much?

Half an hour has passed...

The little white snake lay flat again.

No ideas, no ideas.

I have no ideas at all.

Something that eats so much can't possibly be a jellyfish!

Don't lie to the snake!

An hour... well, not an hour.

About forty minutes.

Little Wu and Cat Bug noticed a problem: Hey? Where's the Beast Tamer?

Where are our big beast tamers?

Why haven't they come back yet?

Little Wu was surrounded by children who praised him endlessly, but after that, Little Wu felt it wasn't very interesting anymore.

Catbug had been wanting to run away for a long time.

However, its round, chubby appearance was so popular that it rampaged around, and the cat-like bug couldn't find a suitable opportunity to break through without harming the children.

Fortunately, after the children had touched it enough, they politely gave it a place, and the cat-like insect quickly moved closer to the little bird.

Cat Bug: Don't ask, from today onwards, the boss is the best boss to the dragon!

Boss, please help!

Xiao Wu: (￢_￢)

Okay, okay.

They're all my own underlings.

What else can Xiaowu do?

Carrying the cat-like insect, Xiao Wu easily sensed Qiao Bai's location through the contract.

then……

Both Xiao Wu and Maomaochong showed expressions of great shock.

The food—their food—so much of it—was all devoured by that thing that I don't know what it is!

After eating the small jellyfish until I was barely half full, my brain was finally able to start working again.

Immediately afterwards, the little jellyfish sensed two murderous auras approaching from its direction.

Little jellyfish: "?"

The jellyfish's body stiffened again.

However, the mouthparts continue to move while feeding.

There's a murderous aura about it.

Therefore, it eats in large gulps out of fear.

Little Crow flapped its wings and flew towards Qiao Bai's shoulder. Cat Bug also cooperated by performing a leap of faith, landing on Little Crow's back and into Qiao Bai's arms ahead of time. It used its chubby body to push out the unknown thing from Qiao Bai's palm.

Catbug: Proud.jpg!

The little jellyfish, squeezed out and starving with empty eyes, finally came to its senses.

It was just now...

The jellyfish's non-existent eyes met Qiao Bai's in a void.

Little jellyfish: "!"

It's that human who was scared by it before and then turned around and scared it back!

Qiao Bai gave the little jellyfish a kind smile.

Half an hour ago, the little jellyfish would have wanted to run as far away as possible upon seeing Qiao Bai's smile, but now...

"Kulu——! kulukulu——!"

father!

Godfather!

I'm so hungry!

Eat!

The little jellyfish chirped happily at Qiao Bai.

What?

dignity?

What is unnecessary and does not exist.

When it gets extremely hungry, it will even eat its own tentacles. If it keeps eating, once it finishes eating all the tentacles, hibernation will no longer be useful, and the little jellyfish might even eat itself.

Qiao Bai: "..."

Although, but.

Intrigued by the resounding name of the Box Poison Flower Jellyfish, he did indeed have the idea of ​​making a contract with this little jellyfish. However, Qiao Bai never expected that before he could even speak, the little jellyfish would already be very cooperative and start shouting.

Qiao Bai was pondering whether his decision was correct.

Box poison jellyfish.

King of the Seas.

Arrogant personality.

Any human who dares to challenge them, or expresses any desire to form a contract with them, will be quickly dissolved into microorganisms and plankton in the ocean.

Box Poison Flower Jellyfish: No matter how much you give, it's useless! Box Poison Flower Jellyfish will never be a slave (pet)!

Mutant jellyfish: Can I get enough to eat? Let me eat! Let me eat! I can! Daddy! Godfather! I'll pay you! Make a contract with me now!

The little jellyfish waved its two remaining long tentacles happily, twisting its body in front of Qiao Bai as if showing off its superiority.

Little Wu landed on Qiao Bai's shoulder, its large, golden-red eyes staring intently at him.

╭ (╯ ^ ╰) ╮

Catworms, meanwhile, were sadly counting the food wrappers on the ground.

many.

So many.

They were all eaten. QwO

"No, no, it eats mostly compressed biscuits, which you guys usually don't eat," Qiao Bai said helplessly.

Little Wu, Cat Bug, and Little White Snake—these three in the family are all incredibly picky eaters.

Oh.

The cat-like insects are alright.

Catbug is a little pig.

They'll eat anything you give them.

I want to eat everything I see.

However, there are also basic requirements for food: at least the color, aroma, and taste must be present.

Compressed biscuits?

Take a bite—Ptooey!

It tastes awful!

No more!

The little black snake and the little white snake would definitely not eat it.

Every time I draw a lottery, I get a bunch of similar food. Although it has a slight effect on restoring stamina, my three pets at home don't need it at all, so these compressed biscuits just accumulate.

It's already at the ×999 level.

And then today.

The stock of these compressed biscuits has been depleted... a shortfall.

Unlike the picky eaters like Da Bao, Er Bao, and San Bao, the little jellyfish will eat anything.

taste?

fragrance?

color?

unimportant!

None of that matters!

The best food is the one that fills your stomach!

Qiao Bai fed the little jellyfish a delicious cat treat, which the little jellyfish slurped up.

Qiao Bai fed the little jellyfish some dry, compressed biscuits, which the little jellyfish munched on.

No matter what you feed it, it makes a loud clattering sound.

Qiao Bai: "..."

It's clear that the child has never been full and is starving.

Once they get food, they won't let go.

Upon hearing this, Catbug took a closer look—and it seemed to be true!

The worried expression on Catbug's face disappeared.

Ok.

Then there's no problem.

Little Wu, standing to the side: "..."

What's the key point?

Is this the key point?

That's not the point at all!

Xiao Wu: (Falling) (Image)

Little Wu is quite angry.

The little jellyfish pupa, with its shell contracting and expanding, floated in mid-air and slowly swam towards the little bird.

"Kulu?"

Hello~

Is that your older sister?

It's absolutely gorgeous!

Look at these feathers!

It's so shiny!

It shines brightly in the sunlight!

I have never seen such beautiful feathers before!

And this imposing presence.

I feel so safe!

I love the eldest sister so much!

Little Wu: "..."

Xiao Wu calmly puffed out his chest, pretending not to care, making the hair on his chest stand out even more.

Xiao Wu: ╭(╯^╰)╮

The bird wasn't happy at all.

I just wanted to show you because you like it so much!

"kulukulu!"

Thank you, sister!

The little jellyfish very politely nuzzled the little bird, without ruffling its feathers at all. Before leaving, it even thoughtfully used its tentacles to smooth out any uneven feathers on the little bird's body.

Then the little jellyfish pupaed again and came to the cat-like insect's side.

"Kulu—!"

Your dragon horns are so cool!

The little jellyfish won over the cat-like insect with just one sentence.

"Chirp chirp!"

Not bad!

You have excellent taste!

From now on, you'll be my little brother along with the white snake!

The cat-like insect excitedly waved its six paws.

Xiao Wu nodded reservedly.

Don't worry.

From now on, the birds will protect you!

Even with the approval of Little Crow and Cat Bug, Little Jellyfish never forgot that there was another member in this family!

The little jellyfish nuzzled against the little white snake that was sleeping, its head drooping on Qiao Bai's shoulder.

Little white snake: "?"

The little white snake opened its golden eyes and stared intently at the little jellyfish, as if it would swallow the little jellyfish whole if it couldn't give it a satisfactory explanation.

But the little jellyfish, who was previously afraid of the white snake, immediately lost all fear when she thought about how she could live a life of plenty every three days after clinging to its thigh.

"gulu~"

Awesome!

Could you teach me sometime?

The little jellyfish exerted 200% of its power.

The little white snake, who has never been seen acting cute since birth, is utterly defenseless.

Moreover, the little jellyfish's words were increasingly pleasing to the ear.

Every sentence praised the little white snake's battle to the skies.

Little White Snake: Say more, snakes love to hear!

Snake needs a straight man like this!

The little white snake, practically floating on air from the praise, looked at Qiao Bai along with Little Crow and Cat Insect.

This time, it was Qiao Bai's turn to stare intently at Xiao Wu, the cat-like insect, and the little white snake.

"No? Who was just acting all sulky?" Qiao Bai's tone was full of exasperation. "And I haven't even mentioned a contract yet..."

shhhhh--

Little Crow, Cat Bug, and Little Jellyfish all looked in the same direction, turning to look at Qiao Bai.

Xiao Wu: Huh?

Catbug: Huh?

Small jellyfish: pitiful, weak, and helpless; their only redeeming quality is their ability to eat.

The little jellyfish approached Qiao Bai and hovered near his cheek, nuzzling his face before flying to his palm and squeezing its body inside, contracting and expanding.

Qiao Bai was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening.

He used the jellyfish as a stress-relieving toy before the simulation!

Then the little jellyfish blew dreamy bubbles at Qiao Bai.

The little jellyfish was promoting its usefulness in every possible way.

Little jellyfish: I'm incredibly versatile! Just give me a bite to eat! One bite! I'll eat a billion bites!

Qiao Bai: "Okay, okay, fine, fine, contract, contract."

The little jellyfish excitedly spewed out colorful bubbles.

Qiao Bai laughed when he saw this.

Will feeding the poisonous jellyfish make you stronger?

Qiao Bai expressed that he felt relaxed.

This little thing is no problem for him.

Qiao Bai was quite satisfied with the contract, which allowed him to quickly become stronger.

It has strong potential and is at an advanced to intermediate level.

There is great potential for growth.

The only problem is that it might mutate in a bad direction, but that's not a problem for Qiao Bai.

eat.

Let the baby jellyfish eat their fill first.

Once you eat enough to unlock the evolutionary path of the little jellyfish, all problems will be solved!

Then Qiao Bai discovered...

He may have underestimated the little jellyfish that, after its mutation, also possessed the talent of "gluttony".

This is hardly binge eating!

Could it be that the little jellyfish will eventually unlock an evolutionary path for the Taotie?

That's a bit too much to eat!

His stock of 999+ compressed biscuits was half eaten by Little Jellyfish, and Little Jellyfish finally, finally—ate until she was about 80% full.

Qiao Bai: Is it too late to return it?
