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

Chapter 145 From today onwards, we are brothers with different fathers and mothers but no blood relation!

Little jellyfish: Too late! Forget about it! Just accept me!

It's worth it!

You definitely won't regret it!

The jellyfish's operculum contracted and expanded, and perhaps because it had eaten its fill, the originally transparent water inside the operculum took on a faint iridescent hue.

Qiao Bai turned his head to look at the little black bird on his left shoulder, then at the little white snake on his right shoulder, and finally his gaze fell on the cat-like insect he was holding in his arms.

"Look, you're the only one being ostracized in this house," Qiao Bai said, touching the cool scales on the cat-like insect's body with a look of sympathy in her eyes.

Catbug: "?"

Upon hearing this, Cat Bug was taken aback for a moment, then followed Qiao Bai's gaze to look at the three pet beasts: Little Crow, Little White Snake, and Little Jellyfish.

Catbug: "!"

Why!

Why do these things look so shiny in the sunlight?!

(ノ｀Д)ノ

hateful!

This dragon is about to cause trouble!

Qiao Bai touched the dragon horns on the cat-like insect's head and smiled without saying a word.

Hey hey hey.

You were the one who egged them on before, weren't you?

Now you know!

This matter is not as simple as you think!

The cat-like insect cried and buried its head in Qiao Bai's arms.

Qiao Bai: "..."

well.

He was severely injured by the pair of already quite powerful dragon horns on his head.

Today is another harmonious and wonderful day for this big family.

……

The contract was signed quickly.

Having decided to accept this mutated box-poison jellyfish, Qiao Bai did not hesitate and immediately entered into a contract.

The little jellyfish, who desperately wanted to latch onto Qiao Bai's coattails and was fully aware of its own worthlessness, didn't hesitate at all. If it could actively form a contract, the little jellyfish would have acted even faster than Qiao Bai.

After taking care of these things.

Qiao Baifa noticed that Cai Cai had not returned yet.

Qiao Bai strode toward the direction the little girl had just left.

Although this was Qiao Bai's first time visiting the orphanage, he had some memories related to it, and since the orphanage hadn't changed much in recent years, he quickly found the location of the canteen by following the road.

Through the window.

Qiao Bai could see the little girl, Cai Cai, inside, with her head down and her hands clasped together.

Looking to the other side—oh dear, standing opposite the little girl was Ms. Zhang Xiaofeng.

Qiao Bai: No wonder.

As soon as Qiao Bai entered, he heard Ms. Zhang Xiaofeng earnestly asking Cai Cai what she was going to do with the food.

The food in the welfare home wasn't particularly precious.

But everyone will try their best not to waste any food.

"Aunt Zhang, I asked Cai Cai to come and get some food," Qiao Bai strode forward and explained.

Ms. Zhang Xiaofeng looked up at Qiao Bai: "Huh? How did this get involved with you again?"

"I remember you ate quite a lot at lunch, are you hungry so soon?"

"It's not a lie that a half-grown boy can eat his father out of house and home."

Ms. Zhang Xiaofeng didn't believe it so easily, but she could tell that Cai Cai didn't want to waste food. Qiao Bai explained because this matter was indeed related to him.

After thinking it over, Ms. Zhang decided to let the matter drop for now, following Qiao Bai's explanation.

As for the specifics... I'll ask Qiao Bai later.

Taking care of children, raising children, and guiding children is never an easy task.

However, Ms. Zhang has maintained this routine for twenty years without ever getting tired of it, and she is full of energy every day.

Qiao Bai smiled when he saw this.

Even if Ms. Zhang wasn't planning to ask, he would have to tell her later—the child had the nerve to come into contact with an unfamiliar supernatural being. This time he was lucky to have encountered a beautiful but useless little jellyfish that only ate itself and didn't dare to harm humans. But what if he had encountered another supernatural being with a cruel personality?

Just as humans use supernatural beings, some supernatural beings also eat people.

Having the matter lightly dismissed, the little girl Cai Cai hurriedly ran to Qiao Bai's side, looking very dependent on him, and grabbed the hem of his clothes.

"Cai Cai really likes you." Ms. Zhang smiled involuntarily as she watched Cai Cai and Qiao Bai being close. "Cai Cai usually doesn't like to cling to others, nor does she like to be clingy. She's an independent little girl. The fact that she's so close to you means she really likes you."

Qiao Bai glanced down at the little girl.

Yep.

Understood.

The little girl, Cai Cai, hesitated to speak, perhaps worried about her good friend, Dan Dan.

But with Ms. Zhang here, Cai Cai, who wanted to protect this secret, dared not reveal it.

Qiao Bai: Smiling.jpg

Cai Cai, who is good at observing other people's expressions, realized for the first time that she couldn't understand her older brother's expression!

Cai Cai puffed up her little face angrily.

He whimpered and clung to Qiao Bai's clothes, shaking them back and forth, trying to get even the slightest bit of information about his balls from Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai continued to smile.

Ms. Zhang looked at the smaller one and then at the larger one. The expression on her face gradually changed from relief to confusion, and then from confusion to understanding.

understood.

She wondered why the most arrogant and individualistic girl in the family had become so close to Qiao Bai so quickly.

I originally thought it was because Qiao Bai was charming.

It turns out that the two of them had a secret, and Qiao Bai was the one who took the initiative.

Ms. Zhang Xiaofeng opened her mouth, about to say something, when several hurried footsteps came from outside the door.

"Mommy, Mommy!"

"grandmother!"

"Mother Zhang!"

Several voices called out in unison, each one calling out separately, but they all meant the same thing—they were looking for Ms. Zhang Xiaofeng.

Seeing the two little radishes running up to her, Ms. Zhang Xiaofeng took out a clean handkerchief from her pocket and patiently wiped the steaming sweat from the foreheads of the two little rascals.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a rush?" After finishing these actions, Ms. Zhang Xiaofeng straightened up and asked with a helpless expression.

The two little radish heads, one tall and one short, both let out embarrassed "hehehe" laughs, their faces slightly flushed.

"Ah... I forgot what I was going to say!" The one with the radish-shaped haircut, who looked to be around six or seven years old but was a little taller, suddenly stopped laughing.

What was he trying to say?

The little radish opened its big, intelligent eyes, blinking them as if it were thinking hard.

"It's an uncle who's even bigger than the big brother!" the shorter little radish said clearly.

The tall, radish-headed boy looked enlightened and nodded repeatedly in agreement: "Yes, yes, yes! It was an uncle! He said he was looking for his grandma!"

Qiao Bai, who was used for comparison: ...How do you feel?

I was not offended.

But...an uncle who's older than him?

Who is it?

"Do Xiao Gao and Xiao Guai know his name? Did Uncle tell you?" Ms. Zhang gently stroked the heads of the two little ones named Xiao Gao and Xiao Guai, guiding them gently.

"I don't know!" The short, chubby little girl, nicknamed Xiaoguai, raised her hand obediently, blinking her dark eyes as she loudly proclaimed, "But Uncle said he came back to see Mommy! And he's going to donate to the orphanage!"

Xiao Guai's eyes lit up when the word "donation" was mentioned.

Donate!

The welfare home usually receives a lot of donations.

Clothes, shoes, snacks, books, picture books, paper and pens, toys... everything is available.

Everyone cherishes these things.

The welfare home doesn't receive donations often, but whenever it does, it doesn't take long for everyone to enjoy three hearty meals a day for a while.

Even if they don't yet understand the true meaning of the word "donation," they remember the benefits that come from "someone donating money."

The most obvious thing is... "Donate money! Grandma, Grandma! Let's go quickly! Don't let Uncle leave!" Xiao Gao jumped around excitedly in front of Ms. Zhang, just like a lively and energetic monkey!

If Ms. Zhang hadn't been so respected by the children, the monkey probably would have already tried to drag her away.

But now...

Ms. Zhang only glanced at Xiao Gao, and the simple-minded Xiao Gao instantly quieted down.

Xiao Gao: You're so sweet!

Ms. Zhang Xiaofeng gently tapped Xiao Gao and Xiao Guai's heads with her finger: "I understand, okay, we'll go over now."

"By the way, Xiaobai, you should come too." With that, Ms. Zhang Xiaofeng turned to Qiao Bai with a kind smile: "What day is it today? Why are you all here to donate? With your donation of five million, the welfare home can spend a long time improving the children's lives."

"I have this ability, and the person who came today also has this ability. We can do what we want, so isn't that normal?" Qiao Bai held Cai Cai's hand with one hand and carried the chubby cat-like insect that refused to return to the Beast Taming Space in his mental sea with the other. There was also a small white snake wrapped around his clothes.

Both Little Crow and Little Jellyfish returned to their spiritual sea beast-taming space very obediently.

"It's a good thing that people are donating money. What I donate is what I donate, and what others donate is what others donate. Zhang Mama, you should accept what you should accept and use it all for the children, to improve their living environment, housing environment, and food environment. Earning money is not easy, and spending money is not easy either," Qiao Bai said sincerely.

For him now, spending money couldn't be easier.

He could easily buy some resources, but he didn't have enough money to spend. Fortunately, he had the backing of the government and the country, so he rarely had to spend his own money in this regard.

Otherwise, earning eight figures a year wouldn't be enough for him to spend.

Xiao Gao and Xiao Guai, whose little hands were being held by Ms. Zhang Xiaofeng to prevent them from running around wildly, listened to Qiao Bai and Ms. Zhang's conversation and curiously tilted their heads to look in Qiao Bai's direction.

Xiao Gao looked completely bewildered.

But Xiao Guai's eyes shone with true wisdom.

Ms. Zhang Xiaofeng was chatting with Qiao Bai and didn't notice the two children's gazes.

Qiao Bai could match it with just a glance down.

He gave a friendly smile to both the tall, thin Xiao Gao and the short but chubby Xiao Guai.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Gao immediately returned Qiao Bai an even bigger and brighter smile.

Xiao Guai blinked, his curiosity towards Qiao Bai intensifying, but he also gave Qiao Bai a shy, toothless smile.

Cai Cai held Qiao Bai's hand with one hand and hugged her most beloved brown teddy bear doll with the other. She glanced at the two guys who were laughing like idiots, gave a heavy "humph," and then turned her head away.

The two adults and three children walked slowly.

As Qiao Bai approached the entrance to the main hall, he heard a chattering sound coming from inside.

"Uncle is the best! Uncle, do you still have any candy?"

"Uncle, uncle, I want to eat those little cookies!"

"Thank you, Uncle!"

"Is Uncle also a beast tamer?"

"Isn't Uncle super amazing?"

Just like they had surrounded Qiao Bai before, the children were now gathered around a man whose face was obscured. They jumped around and waved their little hands at the man in the center, hoping to get a delicious snack.

"Okay, okay."

"Everyone gets a share."

"And you should call me brother!"

"Uncle, I'm an incredibly skilled beast tamer! And I'm also a professor of pet beasts. Do you know what a professor of pet beasts is? It's someone who specializes in researching extraordinary creatures, the kind of person who's super talented!"

The man's clear voice rang out from among the children, exceptionally penetrating yet carrying an indescribable warmth.

Upon hearing the voice, Ms. Zhang Xiaofeng blinked, then a knowing smile appeared on her face, and she quickened her pace as she walked toward the main hall.

"Xiao Liang! When did you come back to China? You didn't even tell me!" Ms. Zhang led her two children into the main hall, her voice filled with indescribable joy and laughter.

"It's your brother Xiao Liang... Oh, you were still young when Xiao Liang left, so you might not remember him very clearly." Ms. Zhang turned her head and glanced at Qiao Bai beside her.

Cheng Liang also spotted Qiao Bai standing next to Ms. Zhang at a glance.

Unlike the two little ones who look very young and still need Ms. Zhang's care, nineteen-year-old Qiao Bai's height has finally broken through from 175 to 179, and he is very close to the real 180.

He was handsome, elegant, and possessed a confidence and composure that could not be faked.

In addition, Qiao Bai was holding the hand of an adorable little girl, so Cheng Liang subconsciously assumed that Qiao Bai was a boy who came to the orphanage to do volunteer work.

Before Cheng Liang could even speak...

Then I heard what Ms. Zhang said.

Cheng Liang was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening.

This boy, who looks like he comes from a privileged background, is actually a child from their orphanage?

And it sounds like... he saw him when he was a child?

Cheng Liang wore a thoughtful expression.

Those children from the orphanage fifteen years ago... it seems like none of them match up!

"Didn't recognize him, did you?" Ms. Zhang could tell what Cheng Liang was thinking just by looking at his expression, and she said with a cheerful smile.

However, Ms. Zhang did not rush to introduce Cheng Liang. She said to Qiao Bai, "Cheng Liang is ten years older than you. He also awakened his potential as a beast tamer when he was 14 years old, and then he left the orphanage."

"I was only 4 years old at that time, so I really can't remember." Qiao Bai nodded.

4 is old.

His memories before the age of 6 are all vague, let alone when he was 4.

I can't remember, I can't remember.

I really can't remember.

"Xiao Liang is such a promising young man," Ms. Zhang said with emotion. "First, he got into Honghu University, and then, based on his excellence, he successfully applied for an exchange program abroad and stayed for several years... I remember you graduated in November, right?"

As she spoke, Ms. Zhang looked at Cheng Liang: "I remember you told me this on the phone before."

"Yes!" Cheng Liang's face lit up with a bright smile, and he gave Ms. Zhang a thumbs up: "Mrs. Zhang has such a good memory!"

"You're just trying to coax me." Ms. Zhang rolled her eyes at Cheng Liang helplessly, but there was no blame in her tone: "Ever since you left the orphanage at the age of 14, you've called me every two days, then once a week, then once a month... Even after you became an adult and went abroad, you still called me at least once every six months. I've never met such an annoying kid as you."

Ms. Zhang had a smile on her face as she spoke.

Qiao Bai: "..."

Good guy.

In Qiao Bai's mind, Cheng Liang's first impression instantly changed from a kind-hearted man who would give snacks to the children to a mama's boy.

Cheng Liang is definitely treating Ms. Zhang like his own mother.

Ms. Zhang's feelings towards Cheng Liang were somewhat different after being treated this way by Cheng Liang. Moreover... Qiao Bai calculated the age and realized that Cheng Liang was probably one of the first children Ms. Zhang had taken care of, so their relationship was even more special.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, everyone sat down together.

With Ms. Zhang around, the children who had been frantically asking Cheng Liang for this and that, became much more well-behaved and polite, which made Cheng Liang smile.

"So many years have passed, but Aunt Zhang is still as shrewd as ever!" Cheng Liang chuckled, a nostalgic look in his eyes. "I still remember when I was little... cough cough."

Cheng Liang stopped halfway through his speech.

The children, who were happily munching on their snacks, looked bewildered.

Qiao Bai: "?"

Everyone in the main hall except for Zhang's mother looked at Cheng Liang.

Cheng Liang kept his mouth tightly shut and remained even more silent.

"Hmph, you still remember how much of a scoundrel you were back then? Now you look like a respectable and decent person, how could you do something so cheeky!" Ms. Zhang seemed to have her past memories stirred up by Cheng Liang's words, and she snorted and said somewhat irritably.

Qiao Bai: "Mother Zhang, riddle tellers are not acceptable."

They're chatting!

You two, one old and one young... cough cough, you two shouldn't be guessing riddles in front of so many of us!

Ms. Zhang glanced at Cheng Liang, who was looking at her with pleading eyes, and then at Qiao Bai, who was sitting next to her with eyes full of curiosity. After thinking for a moment, Ms. Zhang finally said, "Do you remember the things that were forbidden in our orphanage when you were a child?"

"Many of these things were done by this kid," Ms. Zhang said, gesturing towards Cheng Liang's direction.

Qiao Bai was silent for a moment.

what……

He does remember that.

He always found these prohibited rules and regulations very strange.

Be puzzled.

What does it mean that you can't try to create a simulated ocean environment by closing the door and letting water flow in your dorm room?

What does it mean to not hide the limbs of supernatural beings under the covers?

What does it mean to be unable to capture extraordinary creatures on your own and cultivate them in a septic tank?

All of these... there are seven or eight of them, and they are all strange things.

Qiao Bai would think of it every now and then.

No normal person would do something like that, right?

did not expect……

Qiao Bai's gaze toward Cheng Liang's older brother gradually became strange.

I don't know why.

He felt that the three things that impressed him the most were definitely things that Cheng Liang had done.

Cheng Liang, whose secrets had been exposed without his knowledge: "..."

"Ahem, ahem, I think we can skip this topic." Facing Qiao Bai's strange gaze, Cheng Liang clenched his fist and coughed lightly twice, his expression still somewhat unnatural.

Stop talking! Stop talking!

He'll get angry if I bring this up again!

But... the one who exposed his true colors was none other than his dearest mother, Zhang Xiaofeng.

What can Cheng Liang do?

Cheng Liang could only pretend that nothing had happened and pray that Qiao Bai wouldn't reveal the earliest prohibitions.

After all, so many years have passed.

Some prohibitions that are outdated have been lifted, and new prohibitions have been added. At least now, most children probably can't tell which things he did.

Thinking about this...

"Okay." Qiao Bai didn't dwell on the topic; he had just overheard it and was a little curious.

In reality, Qiao Bai is not a very gossipy person.

Yep.

Qiao Bai was certain.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Liang's eyes lit up instantly, and he looked at Qiao Bai with gratitude in his eyes.

good good!

This "younger brother" who is ten years younger than him has such a wonderful personality!

Just because they were both raised by Zhang's mother, from now on they are biological brothers from different fathers and mothers!

Zhang's mother: "?"

Is something not quite right?

"Oh, right." Cheng Liang tried to change the subject, but he quickly remembered what Zhang's mother had said earlier. He looked at Qiao Bai with a hint of curiosity: "Zhang's mother just said 'also'?"

"So you've also awakened your potential as a beast tamer?"

Qiao Bai nodded.

moment.

Cheng Liang became excited. He sat up straight and adopted the demeanor of an older brother concerned for his younger brother: "You're 10 years younger than me, so you're 19 this year. Are you in college? Which college? How are your grades?"

Qiao Bai paused for a moment and didn't say anything.

It's not that it's unpresentable.

Qiao Bai just didn't expect... that in a different world, he would still receive three consecutive New Year's greetings from relatives and friends during the Lunar New Year.

I miss it.

Cheng Liang was unaware of Qiao Bai's thoughts. Seeing that Qiao Bai remained silent, Cheng Liang assumed that Qiao Bai hadn't gotten into a good university, so he immediately dropped the subject, determined not to rub salt into Qiao Bai's wounds.

"Let me tell you, it doesn't really matter if your university isn't very good, as long as you work hard and have that spirit." Cheng Liang then shifted the topic to himself: "Take me for example. Although I got into a top university, for the first two years... Zhang's mother knows, I was really lost."

Perhaps genuinely wanting to comfort Qiao Bai, Cheng Liang, who clearly cares a lot about his image, didn't hesitate to share embarrassing stories from his past in an attempt to cheer her up.

"Everyone is better than me. Their pets are better than me in terms of aptitude and potential. I might be a top student in NY City, but at Honghu... sigh, let's not even talk about the sense of disparity." As he spoke, Cheng Liang glanced at Qiao Bai again.

Calm.

Calm and composed.

Cheng Liang's opinion of Qiao Bai remains the same as it was at the beginning.

If Zhang's mother hadn't said anything, he would have really thought that Qiao Bai was a child who grew up in a good family environment and was nurtured by his parents with love.

There was no trace of confusion about him.

Bright eyes.

It seems like they have a firm understanding of the future.

Seeing this, Cheng Liang's impression of Qiao Bai improved even more.

I still feel a little itchy inside.

So which school did his half-brother get into?

It doesn't look ideal?

Or is it that his younger brother is too strict with himself and didn't get into his desired university, so he doesn't want to talk about it?

Cheng Liang thought both were possible.

What he didn't notice was that Zhang Xiaofeng's gaze towards him was hesitant, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

I thought about it.

Ms. Zhang still did not say anything to remind Cheng Liang.

Forget it.

It's good that this kid is willing to reopen old wounds. Wounds only heal when they're exposed. If you keep them hidden in your heart to save face, they'll only fester and turn into inner demons.

then.

Cheng Liang missed a chance to quickly find out the truth.

Cheng Liang was lost in his own thoughts. Now, looking back, a hint of sullenness appeared on his face: "...Honghu's breadth of vision made me realize that there are too many geniuses in this world. Compared to them, I am not a genius beast tamer at all. I am just more diligent and luckier than most beast tamers in NY City."

"I was depressed for a while."

"Then one day I suddenly realized that I couldn't continue like this. I had to work hard and strive to live up to Zhang Mama's kindness in taking care of me and raising me. I couldn't end up becoming someone I couldn't even respect."

Qiao Bai opened her mouth as if to say something, but seeing Cheng Liang completely absorbed in reflecting on the past, Qiao Bai remained silent.

Forget it.

Listening to his half-brother recount his life experiences was quite an interesting experience for Qiao Bai.

cough cough.

He was definitely not listening to it as a story.

He's experiencing other people's lives.

And so.

Cheng Liang missed a second chance to quickly find out the truth.

"I studied it carefully back then, and the beast tamers in China are all too competitive." Cheng Liang showed a sad expression as he said this. Clearly, this was his real experience and it left a deep impression on him. Even after five or six years, he still couldn't forget it: "In the beast tamer arena, it's really hard for me to outmaneuver those crazy combat-type players."

"So after careful consideration, I made a decision—I'll switch tracks and compete with them!" Cheng Liang chuckled, his eyes filled with undisguised pride. "In the past, only those who switched from the Extraordinary Creature Evolution Research major to the Combat major were common, but it was rare for someone to switch from the Combat major to the Pet Evolution major."

"After all, when it comes to intelligence, some things are either you know how to do them or you don't."

For example, advanced mathematics.

Another example is research on the evolution of pets.

It's all about knowing or not knowing. The process may be important or not, but the result speaks for itself.

"Now that I've decided to compete in this field, I'm going to go all out!" Cheng Liang's mood gradually changed from initial dejection to bright and cheerful.

"Compared to China, the country that is most outstanding in the field of pet evolution should still be Bu Lu, which has developed the ultimate speed light-year dragon rider."

Qiao Bai was stunned for a moment when he heard the name, and then he realized what it meant.

Oh, oh, oh—Bulu Kingdom is somewhat like the Germany he knows.

It mainly concerns studying abroad.

Going to study in countries like the Divine Eagle Kingdom or the Fire Cherry Kingdom might mean you have the ability, but more often it's just to gain prestige.

But it's different in Bu Lu Guo—the three years you spend studying in Bu Lu Guo will be the most important seven years of your five-year life.

I'm not kidding!

If you don't work hard, you might not be able to come back after you go abroad to study!

Qiao Bai then calculated his brother's age... Ah, it was exactly six or seven years since he had been in Bu Lu Kingdom.

The fact that Cheng Liang can graduate in six or seven years shows that he does have some talent in this area.

Otherwise, it's not impossible for it to take ten or eight years to study!

Russia, a country that strikes fear into the hearts of all international students, yet whose diplomas and certificates are highly valuable.

"I applied for three consecutive years and even presented my achievements as a Beast Tamer before I barely met the requirements to study in Bulu Kingdom." Cheng Liang's recollection ended there. As for what followed... well, he didn't really want to recall those years in Bulu Kingdom.

Graduation was a very happy time.

But studying abroad... was a nightmare.

Cheng Liang has had his moments of regret.

If it weren't for his strong will, Cheng Liang definitely wouldn't have been able to graduate from studying abroad.

But now that it's all over, Cheng Liang feels he can forget about it. The main thing is that he, the "older brother," has already left an unreliable impression on the "younger brother," and it's better to forget about having an even more unreliable impression.

At appropriate times, it is still necessary to establish his lofty and great image.

Ms. Zhang, who raised Cheng Liang from a young age and knew exactly what he was thinking: "..."

I don't really want to talk.

Well... isn't it a bit too awkward to bring up some things at this time?

cough cough.

Since Qiao Bai didn't say anything, she decided not to be the bad guy.

Cheng Liang was completely unaware of Ms. Zhang's thoughts. After recounting his shameful past, he looked at Qiao Bai with bright, sparkling eyes, offering her tons of motivational platitudes: "No matter what your past or present is like, as long as you're willing to work hard, your future will definitely be bright!"

"By the way, Xiaobai, what major did you choose in college?" I can't ask about the school, but I can ask about the major.

He might even be able to offer Qiao Bai some good suggestions!

He could at least be considered to be practicing dual cultivation across different disciplines.

While studying the Extraordinary Biological Evolution major, Cheng Liang did not completely give up on the breeding and training of pet beasts. Although he could not compare with his classmates from the same year as Honghu, he had at least become a second-level beast tamer after all these years.

Tier 3... well, it's a bit difficult to get there.

Unlike trainers.

Breeders can accumulate experience while raising their own pets.

However, being a beast tamer and a professor of pet evolution are two professions that no one wants to work in at all.

Thinking of this, Cheng Liang wiped away a tear of bitterness.

difficult.

It is too difficult.

These past few years in Bu Lu Guo... will be unforgettable!

Before Qiao Bai could speak, Cheng Liang's eyes met those of the little white snake that had peeked out from Qiao Bai's collar and was drooping its head on Qiao Bai's shoulder.

Cheng Liang suddenly realized.

Cheng Liang noticed it again.

Oh.

The pig doll that Qiao Bai was holding in his arms, which looked like it was stuffed with too much cotton and had a strange shape, was actually alive!

That must also be Qiao Bai's pet beast.

Tsk tsk.

"Little brother" really spoils his pets.

Look at that snake, how shiny and slippery it is.

Look at that cat, how sturdy it is.

As far as I can remember, Zhang's mother's orange cat was never this fat!

Cat Bug, sensing Cheng Liang's scrutinizing gaze: hissing.jpg

o(▼皮▼メ;)o

What are you looking at!

Still watching!

Just look at it.

Why are you looking at me like that!

Don't think I don't know what you're thinking just because you haven't said anything!

I'm all too familiar with that look in my eyes!

hateful!

Still watching!

No!

This dragon is determined to teach this guy a lesson he won't forget!

Qiao Bai: Quick, accurate, and ruthless

He precisely caught the cat-like insect that was trying to escape from his arms.

Cheng Liang, sitting directly opposite Qiao Bai and watching Qiao Bai's actions, was speechless.

"Huh? Does your pet want to go out for a run?" Cheng Liang nodded with a sincere and innocent expression and said, "It really should go out for a run. Being too bulky isn't a good thing for a pet. It will affect its health and its ability to fight."

"Little White, let me tell you, I've actually seen those pets that were accidentally made too fat and too well-behaved by their tamers, and they couldn't even run during battle, they could only roll around."

"That was truly... tsk tsk, better not to mention it." Cheng Liang shook his head, his gaze falling again on the cat-like creature in Qiao Bai's arms. He said with deep emotion, "Xiao Bai, you need to be careful with your pet too. What if it really turns into that..."

Before Cheng Liang could finish speaking, the cat bug suddenly broke free from Qiao Bai's grasp and charged towards Cheng Liang like a small blue cannonball!

Cheng Liang, who was hit in the stomach by a cat-like insect: *vomits*.jpg

"Hahaha—" Zhang's mother, who hadn't said a word until now, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The children coming and going in the room also curiously craned their necks to look over.

Wow—Mom is smiling so happily!

So what happened?

Why does that kind uncle look like he's about to die?

Was Uncle being bullied by the older brother?

No way! Big brother would never bully people!

That's right! It must be Uncle's fault!

A group of children chattered quietly, exchanging their thoughts, and soon reached a consensus—the big brother is a good person! The cat is a good cat too!

Uncle's soul-spitting out?

Whoops!

What does that have to do with the older brother and the cat?

Cat Bug hit its target with one strike and then ran away, sitting in Qiao Bai's lap and casting a disdainful, superior, and condescending look at Cheng Liang.

Finally regaining her senses, she looked up and met Cheng Liang's obnoxious gaze: "..."

"No way, this can't be let go today!" Cheng Liang stood up, rolling up his sleeves aggressively as he said, "What kind of skill is a sneak attack! If you're so capable, let's settle this with a fight!"

Ms. Zhang Xiaofeng's expression gradually turned speechless.

Why?

Because Cheng Liang wasn't saying that to Qiao Bai at all.

Cheng Liang said this to the cat-like creature sitting in Qiao Bai's lap.

Ms. Zhang: "..."

Is this what they mean by a man remaining a boy until death?

No, no.

Calling Cheng Liang a teenager is an understatement.

Judging from his behavior, his mental age is at most three years old; otherwise, who would be so foolish as to challenge a pet animal to a fight?

"I won't bully you. You don't look very strong. How about this, I'll use my fourth-level high-grade Little Spirit Cat to fight you?" Cheng Liang was unaware of what Ms. Zhang was thinking. He was seriously discussing the battle with the cat-like insect.

"It's not that I'm bullying you or don't want to use a weaker pet to fight you, but I've been contracting pets for so many years now, and the weakest pet I have is at least a high-level fourth tier. There's really nothing lower."

"But Little Lingmao is a cat, and you're a cat too. It's not too much for cats to fight each other, is it?" Cheng Liang said seriously, but the Cat Bug's anger level was rising higher and higher.

"Chirp chirp!"

"Aww!"

hateful!

dragon!

It's a dragon!

How dare this little cat compare itself to this dragon?

hateful!

This dragon is going to teach you a lesson!

however.

Cheng Liang couldn't understand what the cat-like insect was saying, and could only guess at it based on its angry emotions and body language.

"Agree or disagree? One beep if you agree, two beeps if you disagree." Cheng Liang held up one finger. "What? You're not scared, are you?"

"Or maybe they don't want to see other cats' agile movements? It would be discouraging, right?" The more she talked about it, the more it seemed like that.

Qiao Bai: "..."

Some people are just asking for trouble and you can't stop them.

What can Qiao Bai do?

Qiao Bai said, "Whatever makes you happy."

Every word Cheng Liang said was precisely aimed at Cat Bug's sore spots, adding fuel to the fire!

Forget it.

Let them resolve their own issues in their own way.

"Chirp chirp!"

Upon hearing this, the cat-like insect chirped twice without hesitation.

What?

Scared?

nonexistent!

Today, I, the dragon, will show this guy what it means for the dragon's majesty to be sacred and inviolable!

Qiao Bai, who wasn't the main character, was inexplicably dragged into this battle.

Qiao Bai thought for a moment and decided to let Xiao Wu and Xiao Shuimu out to watch the battle.

We can't miss this! It's such a great opportunity to watch the excitement!

But what Qiao Bai didn't expect was...

The little jellyfish, which had no problems during the contract, did not obediently come out when Qiao Bai wanted to release it. Instead, it plunged into Qiao Bai's mental sea.

Qiao Bai: "?"

The sea of ​​consciousness was churning violently under the stirring of the little jellyfish!

This caused a much bigger commotion than when Qiao Bai absorbed the primordial energy, and when Xiao Wu, the cat-like insect, and the white snake entered the spiritual sea.

For an instant.

Cold sweat broke out on Qiao Bai's forehead.

Starting from the temples, the intense pain spread throughout the head, then gradually downwards to the upper body, shoulders, hands, lower body, legs, and feet.
