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

Chapter 146 The Gradual Development and Utilization of Primal Qi! The New Era of Tripartite Slaves!

Finally, the pain spread throughout my entire body.

For a moment, Qiao Bai even had difficulty standing firm.

All sounds seemed to fade into a hazy, indistinct state in Qiao Bai's ears.

"Little...White...Little White..."

In a daze, Qiao Bai seemed to hear a voice calling his name.

When Qiao Bai came to his senses, Ms. Zhang Xiaofeng and Cheng Liang were both standing around him with anxious expressions.

"Are you feeling unwell?" Zhang's mother anxiously grasped Qiao Bai's hand, feeling the cold sweat on his palm. "We need to go to the hospital right now!"

Qiao Bai quickly waved his hand, and his hoarse voice startled even himself when he spoke: "Aunt Zhang, I'm fine. I just suddenly felt unwell, but I'll feel better soon."

"Ta-da!"

Cai Cai, with her chubby little hands, ran to Qiao Bai's side holding a cup of warm water. She held the cup as high as she could, her big, round eyes looking at Qiao Bai: "Big brother, drink some water!"

"Okay, thank you, Cai Cai." Looking down, Qiao Bai saw the worried look in Cai Cai's eyes.

To pour water for Qiao Bai, Cai Cai even forgot to hug her favorite teddy bear. How could Qiao Bai possibly refuse the little girl's purest kindness?

He took the water and gulped it down.

Qiao Bai finally calmed down.

My palms, chest, back, and forehead were all covered in sweat, and a gust of wind made them feel chilly.

Qiao Bai shook his head.

This is really...

You could say it was a blessing in disguise!

After watching Qiao Bai finish his water, Cai Cai happily hugged her cup and left.

Qiao Bai watched the little girl skipping and jumping around, looking as if she had accomplished something amazing and was overjoyed, and smiled knowingly.

Immediately afterward, he changed his mind and sensed the changes within his spiritual sea.

The little jellyfish caused an unprecedented upheaval upon entering Qiao Bai's mental sea, but Qiao Bai's mental sea also underwent certain changes as a result.

The thing that was being nurtured and waiting to hatch in the sea of ​​consciousness... naturally remained silent.

However, four twinkling stars suddenly appeared in Qiao Bai's originally blank mental sea.

Qiao Bai used his spirit to touch and connect with these stars, and instantly felt different sensations in his body and mind. Qiao Bai immediately realized that these four twinkling "stars" corresponded to the four pet beasts he had contracted.

The golden-red "stars" are Little Crow.

The blue "stars" are cat bugs.

The "stars" with interwoven gold and silver colors are the little white snake.

The translucent, light blue "stars" are small jellyfish.

These stars are bright and dark.

Among them, the small black-red star is the most eye-catching and brightest.

Secondly, there's the blue star of the cat-like insect.

And so on.

Qiao Bai was still unsure whether the brightness of the stars depended on the strength of the pet or the close relationship between the beast tamer and the pet; perhaps it was a combination of both.

Ultimately, the brighter the stars, the more Qiao Bai can perceive through them, and the more he can do in reverse.

The most important thing is...

"Xiaobai, if you're not feeling well, let's postpone my fight with this fat cat for now." Cheng Liang chimed in, "Anyway, the fight can happen anytime, there's no rush. We can wait until you feel a little better."

The cat-like creature, lying beside Qiao Bai, its eyes, shaped like tears from worry, seemed utterly disoriented: "..."

stare!

hateful!

What a fat cat!

Show it some respect!

It's a dragon!

Dragon!

How many times do I have to emphasize this awful guy before he remembers!

Catbug really wants to let its strength speak for itself right now.

But when she turned her head and saw Qiao Bai covered in cold sweat, the cat-like insect calmed down.

Forget it.

At this point, the safety of the beast tamer is more important.

Let's not bother with that foul-mouthed guy for now.

Not only the cat-like insect, but the little white snake also woke up when Qiao Bai started to thrash around in a cold sweat. It wrapped its whole body around Qiao Bai's shoulder, flicked its long red tongue, and gently licked Qiao Bai's face, trying to wake him up.

Seeing that Qiao Bai had finally regained consciousness, the little white snake's golden eyes finally revealed a look of relief.

Thank goodness.

The beast tamer is fine.

The little white snake, who had been carefully cared for by Qiao Bai since birth, was startled by Qiao Bai's discomfort.

I won't even sleep anymore.

It kept pestering Qiao Bai, occasionally sticking out its forked tongue to lick him, just to make sure he was still alive and breathing.

Qiao Bai, realizing what the little white snake was doing, wore a look that was both funny and exasperated.

This is really... sigh!

Qiao Bai let the little white snake go.

However… “I’m fine.” Qiao Bai met Cheng Liang’s concerned yet slightly strange gaze and subconsciously felt… well, it would be better not to agree to Cheng Liang’s suggestion.

after all.

From their previous interactions, it's clear that Cheng Liang is a teenager... oh no, an adult, with a very imaginative mind.

Although I'm almost thirty years old.

However, perhaps because he had become dull from studying too much (just kidding) and had spent too long in a purely academic environment, Cheng Liang was not only concerned with his image, but also very perceptive and meticulous, always thinking of others in many ways.

This quality is good.

There was no malicious intent.

Pure kindness.

They will also proactively offer people a way out.

However, Qiao Bai was certain that he must have a very strange image in the other person's mind.

It was so strange that even Qiao Bai couldn't figure it out.

"I just have a bit of a stomachache," Qiao Bai casually offered as an excuse.

Yep.

He did have stomach problems before; there's no way around it, it's a standard feature of domineering CEOs (just kidding).

Therefore, Qiao Bai is quite familiar with the feeling of stomach pain.

With just a few words, he successfully convinced Ms. Zhang and Cheng Liang that he had indeed suffered a sudden stomach ailment.

Stomach pain is not a disease.

It hurts like hell.

"That's good, that's good." Ms. Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, relieved that it wasn't a life-threatening illness.

Then, Ms. Zhang glared fiercely at Qiao Bai: "You've only just turned 18, how could you get a stomach problem? Have you been eating poorly since you left the orphanage?"

"I told you all long ago not to save money! Health is the most important thing! You are a beast tamer, and the subsidies and jobs provided by the government, while not the best, are enough to eat. Why are you saving this money?" Ms. Zhang said, letting out a long sigh.

That being said... Ms. Zhang also knows that it's not easy for children who come out of welfare homes to make a living. Relying on her youth, she subconsciously saves money in some unnecessary ways.

When you're young and healthy, you won't see any problems.

But when you get older...

Ms. Zhang originally wanted to comfort herself, but the more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and finally glared at Qiao Bai with annoyance.

Qiao Bai wasn't angry.

"Haha, I know, Aunt Zhang, don't worry. I'm eating well every day now, so you can rest assured." Qiao Bai said with a smile, "Actually, I don't get stomach aches very often, really."

Ms. Zhang opened her mouth upon hearing this, but ultimately chose to let the topic drop.

"You child... never mind, as long as you know what's going on. You must take good care of yourself, understand?" Ms. Zhang thought about Qiao Bai's donation to the welfare home and Qiao Bai's current status, and felt that what Qiao Bai said made some sense, but she still had to give him the necessary advice.

"Give me a call when you have time, and seek medical attention promptly if you feel unwell. Take good care of yourself."

Qiao Bai nodded repeatedly.

He then looked at Cheng Liang, who was standing to the side.

Then Qiao Bai realized... why Cheng Liang's gaze towards him had become even stranger!

If Qiao Bai's talent skills weren't limited to working on extraordinary beings, he would really like to investigate what kind of nonsense this person in front of him was thinking.

Qiao Bai was extremely curious.

Cheng Liang didn't speak, nor did he discern Qiao Bai's thoughts. He simply looked at Qiao Bai with the eyes of someone admiring a cute little thing.

Hey.

My younger brother is just adorable.

He must know how capable his older brother is, and he was worried about his pet, which caused his stomach problems to flare up.

What an adorable thought!

Cheng Liang recalled the scene of his first battle against the chief of the combat department. Just like Qiao Bai, he was so nervous that he couldn't speak, and his whole body was covered in cold sweat. He was nervous but also eager to try. His face was so pale that the chief noticed.

He lied and said he had a stomach ailment.

The chief gave him a knowing look, but did not expose his lie, giving him the respect and dignity he deserved.

Cheng Liang didn't mind sharing his past with Qiao Bai, but he thought that if he told her, Qiao Bai would definitely understand and know that he knew about Qiao Bai's lie.

In the end, Cheng Liang still didn't say anything.

And once again, we just missed the truth.

Cheng Liang: It's decided! I'm going to be a little gentler with my "younger brother's" pet! So that my "younger brother" can feel the sincere love from his "older brother" who is not related to him by blood!

Qiao Bai: A chill ran down my spine.jpg

soon.

Qiao Bai and Cheng Liang stood on opposite sides of the open space in the courtyard.

Ms. Zhang operated the protective shield in the yard, activating its defensive mode to prevent the children from accidentally being injured by the pets' skills during battle.

"Alright, those who want to see, come and take a look." After completing this series of actions, Ms. Zhang turned her head and spoke loudly to the rustling grass, trees, and buildings behind her.

"Yay! Mom's awesome!"

"I love my mom the most!"

"Battle! Battle! It's all cats!"

A group of little radish kids excitedly raised their hands, their legs moving like wheels of fire, popping out one after another from behind various hiding places.

In the blink of an eye, Ms. Zhang was surrounded by children.

Thirty or forty pairs of innocent eyes looked excitedly at Qiao Bai and Cheng Liang in the arena.

Qiao Bai maintained a calm expression, not paying much attention to the children's gaze.

If you want to watch it, then watch it.

The problem is not big.

On the other hand, Cheng Liang, seeing a group of children running out in droves, big and small, instinctively straightened his back.

So many children... cough!

He is certain to win this battle!

Not only can we not lose, but we must also fight bravely and stylishly!

Cheng Liang gave Qiao Bai a guilty look: I'm sorry, my half-brother! Compared to a group of younger brothers and sisters, Cheng Liang cared more about what his younger brothers and sisters thought of him!

Hey!

He was truly a deeply sinful man!

Cheng Liang shook his head and sighed.

Qiao Bai, who received a deep look from Cheng Liang, was speechless.

I got goosebumps.

Cheng Liang is good in every way, except for his ability to fill in the blanks... Qiao Bai is no longer interested in the thoughts in his mind at all.

I always felt that it was something he shouldn't know.

jump over.

ignore.

Let's just pretend we don't know anything.

"Then I'll be the referee for you two?" Ms. Zhang looked at the boy and the adult man fighting on opposite sides, and the chubby cat-like creature standing in front of Qiao Bai, and a gentle expression appeared on her face.

Pet battles... I never imagined I'd see the children I raised battling it out on the same stage. It's a truly novel experience.

"no problem."

"Of course, Aunt Zhang!"

Qiao Bai and Cheng Liang spoke at the same time.

Ms. Zhang couldn't help but laugh again upon hearing this.

Haha—Compared to Qiao Bai, Xiao Liang is more like a clingy child.

Ms. Zhang thought of Qiao Bai's achievements again... Hmm.

A leading figure in pet evolution, a renowned genius in NY City.

Although people may not necessarily bring it up on their own, everyone knows Qiao Bai as soon as his name is mentioned.

Although Ms. Zhang had never witnessed Qiao Bai's talent in pet battles firsthand, she had heard some things about him, and rumors circulated that he was very skilled.

The champions of the Yulong and Honghu New Student League.

The number one beast tamer in South China.

to be frank.

Ms. Zhang felt completely numb when she heard the news.

What?

Qiao Bai?

noob?

real or fake?

Is it possible that they are people with the same name?

After carefully confirming that the person was indeed her child, a child who had come from their welfare home, Ms. Zhang Xiaofeng smiled as brightly as a flower.

OK OK.

That's wonderful!

If a child is talented and capable, they will be able to thrive in the outside world.

That's why Ms. Zhang's feelings were so complicated when she heard Cheng Liang and Maomaochong's conversation.

kindness……

Although it is rumored that Qiao Bai's most powerful pet is a large bird with a black upper body and red lower body, it should be the bird called Xiao Wu that Qiao Bai showed to the children before.

However, this does not mean that Qiao Bai's other pets are not powerful.

after all.

Qiao Bai easily raised his combat power to 11 using only two pet beasts, making him a ruthless figure with a six-figure combat power.

Ms. Zhang's gaze swept over the small white snake coiled around Qiao Bai's shoulder.

Yep.

I can't tell their strength.

However, given Qiao Bai's methods and skills in raising pets, if he were to challenge the power rankings again, surpassing his previous record would be a piece of cake, and even adding another 10,000 or 20,000 would be a very easy thing.

Thinking about this...

Ms. Zhang's gaze toward Cheng Liang gradually became more complicated.

Cheng Liang, who hadn't successfully received the signal from Zhang's mother, was left speechless.

"Aunt Zhang must be encouraging me!" Cheng Liang clenched his fist excitedly, but then, seeing Qiao Bai opposite him, he calmed down: "Hmm... maybe Aunt Zhang just wants me to go easy on her?"

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore."

In short.

We can't lose face!

This is a battle where dignity is at stake!

A battle where a senior guides a junior!

He needs to properly demonstrate the demeanor of a senior!

"Come out, little spirit cat!" Thinking about it, Cheng Liang couldn't help but get excited and released his little spirit cat.

Then... Cheng Liang, who was full of momentum just a second ago, was suddenly being stomped on the head by the little cat and made to dance on top of him.

The little radish kids nearby exclaimed, "Wow!"

A chorus of childish exclamations rang out.

Cheng Liang: "..."

Qiao Bai: "..."

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" Cheng Liang didn't even need to look, mainly because he couldn't see, but he grabbed the little cat that was dancing on his head with extreme precision: "Ahem, Overlord, how about we make a deal and have a proper fight?"

"Look! Your opponent is that fat cat over there!" Cheng Liang tried to pull it off twice, but couldn't get the little cat that was still dancing on his head down.

So he could only sadly hold the little cat with one hand, trying his best to stop it from dancing, while pointing with his other hand at the cat-like insect opposite, attempting to distract the little cat.

The little civet stared quietly at the cat-like insect opposite it for a few seconds. Its round cat eyes gradually contracted, and its tail rose and fell, as if it were afraid but also eager to try.

Cheng Liang couldn't see the little cat's physical reactions.

However, Qiao Bai on the other side saw it all clearly.

I couldn't help but sigh to myself.

This is truly... no wonder it's a superhuman creature with a black and white color scheme!

Black and white pets are magical creatures in the wild.

Even among extraordinary beings, it would be a wondrous existence.

Especially the Little Civet Cat, whose predecessor was a cat, with its black and white color scheme... Black Cat Sheriff! (crossed out) Cow Cat!

Cat's neurotic!

A famously amazing cat that rivals even a Siberian Husky!

This little spirit cat is named "Overlord". Its hobby is dancing on the heads of beast tamers. It is clearly afraid of the intimidation from its natural enemies, but at the same time it is eager to try something... which perfectly fits Qiao Bai's stereotype of a cow cat.

A tuxedo cat is a cat that never seems strange no matter what it does!

This is a black and white color scheme civet cat with black bangs and white gloves.

That skin looks so familiar.

Qiao Bai sighed inwardly.

"It's a civet cat!"

The little girls were also very excited after seeing Cheng Liang's pet.

It's a little Indian civet!

Their orphanage is called the Lingmao Welfare Home, so there are many wild cats in the area that come here from time to time to eat and drink.

Ms. Zhang wouldn't chase them away. She would feed them from time to time, or let her two little civets lead the group of stray cats out to hunt for food.

The stray cats are all well-fed and sleek.

It's also very humane; it won't hurt children if they get close, and if they don't want to be touched, it will just wag its tail and run away.

In this environment, most of the children in the orphanage have different feelings for cats and civets.

then……

The older brother is amazing.

The cat-like bug is so cute.

But the little girls chose to support Little Civet!

"Go, little civet cat!"

"The little civet cat is the most amazing cat!"

"That's right! There's no cat in this world more amazing than the little Indian civet!"

"Go, Uncle!"

The little radish kids cheered wildly for Cheng Liang, and even the fact that a little cat climbed on Cheng Liang's head couldn't dampen their enthusiasm for him.

Little radish fans: Little Civet is the coolest! No arguments allowed! Go for it!

Cheng Liang was so moved that his eyes welled up with tears.

good good!

You're all such good kids!

Even if it's just for these children, he has to give it his best!

Younger brother—older brother, you're welcome!

The cat grabbed the little civet on the head mainly because the black and white cat gave up its plan to continue dancing and wanted to have a good fight with the cat bug.

"Go, Overlord! Unleash your strongest attack—Extreme Overlord Shockwave!" Cheng Liang shouted loudly, one hand on his hip and the other pointing directly at the direction of the cat bug.

The little radish kids next to him were also very excited and shouted along with Cheng Liang.

Feeling particularly different and out of place, caught in the middle, Qiao Bai thought to himself: "..."

Suddenly, I don't quite understand Cao Dan's world anymore.

The little cat, Overlord, also opened its mouth in perfect cooperation, and a black energy ball gathered in its mouth. Although there was a distance between them, Qiao Bai could still feel the powerful energy fluctuations coming from that energy ball.

"This is my strongest attack, how about it, can't withstand it!" Cheng Liang looked triumphantly at... Cat Bug!

Yes.

At this critical moment, Cheng Liang still did not forget his real opponent in this battle—not Qiao Bai, who was just a tool that was forced to be brought in. The real opponent was this fat cat!

Cheng Liang: Confirmed.jpg

Cat Bug: ╭(╯^╰)╮

"Chirp chirp!"

That's all there is to it!

The cat-like insect stands tall and proud.

However, because she was too fat, her movements were not very obvious. Instead, her fleshy body jiggled, giving her a plump and round appearance.

Catbug, realizing this himself, thought: "..."

"Hahaha—!" Cheng Liang couldn't help but burst into laughter. He raised his hand to wipe away the tears welling up in his eyes, pointed at his little cat, and said, "See! This is the kind of healthy and slender physique a normal cat should have!"

"You?" Cheng Liang glanced at the cat bug again.

He didn't speak, but simply shook his head, but everything was understood without words.

Cat Cat Bug: (#｀ dish)

"Aww—!"

Without Qiao Bai even giving a command, the cat-like insect let out a long howl to the sky—

at the same time.

The black energy ball slowly rose into the air from the little civet's mouth, then accelerated and cut through the air towards the cat-worm!

"Aww—"

Centered on the cat-like insect, invisible energy emanates from its body, overflowing in all directions in concentric circles!

Mental shock!

Qiao Bai didn't speak, but instead used his communication with "Star" to command the cat-like insect to use the skill.

Catbug: Received!

Go for it!

Let's get that bastard over there!

The invisible spiritual tentacles suddenly clashed with the black energy ball. The solid spiritual tentacles became even more illusory and fragile, but they still persisted in attacking the little spirit cat.

"How...how is this possible!" Cheng Liang, who couldn't see what had happened at all, watched as his little spirit cat's strongest skill vanished into thin air, his mouth agape so wide it could fit an egg.

Before Cheng Liang could react, he heard the little cat let out a scream, and it collapsed to the ground with a "crunch," its limbs outstretched and its body still twitching intermittently.

"Meow—!"

Cheng Liang: "!"

Qiao Bai: "!"

"Little Lingmao! Overlord! What's wrong with you!" Cheng Liang ran and flew towards Little Lingmao.

Qiao Bai and Maomaochong were also shocked by this scene.

The man and the cat stared at each other in bewilderment.

"Is your mental concussion that severe?"

"Chirp!" Don't ask the dragon, even the dragon doesn't know!

"I think you've gotten yourself into big trouble."

"Awooo!" Beast Tamer, don't run away! This dragon is yours! You have to help the dragon solve its problems!

"Why don't you do it? Or should we go apologize?"

"Chirp chirp!" Hmph... Fine! This great dragon doesn't hold grudges against petty people! I'll reluctantly forgive his previous disrespectful words to me!

Even as she said that, the cat-like insect still looked at the little civet cat with a hint of caution in its eyes.

Oops~

I never expected it to be this powerful!

Let's go take a look!

Catworm had mentally prepared himself and was about to walk towards Little Spirit Cat when he heard Cheng Liang's angry roar from that direction.

"Playing dead?"

"Who taught you that?!"

Cheng Liang's voice, which was originally choked with sobs, instantly turned angry, interspersed with the little cat's continuous "meows".

Qiao Bai stopped in his tracks.

The cat-like insect stopped in its tracks.

The curious little radishes sucked their fingers and peered curiously in Cheng Liang's direction.

"It's alright, it's alright, cough cough, this kind of thing is normal. Who told him to contract a little spiritual cat with a cow-and-cat pattern? He should be mentally prepared for this." Ms. Zhang glanced at Cheng Liang over there, then turned to look at Qiao Bai, her eyes sparkling as she spoke.

Qiao Bai: "?"

Ms. Zhang immediately noticed the doubt in Qiao Bai's eyes. She smiled and said, "Little Indian cats are very similar to ordinary cats, both in personality and in the lifestyle of their respective breeds."

"Just like the two little spirit cats I contracted, one is orange and the other is tabby."

"It's orange." Ms. Zhang said, pointing to the most eye-catching cat among a group of cats sunbathing on the wall of the welfare home.

It is twice the size of other cats.

It was glossy and shiny, and its fur shimmered in the sunlight.

Another one... Qiao Bai's gaze swept across the group of cats, but he didn't see the tabby cat.

"I took my brothers out hunting, and I deliberately waited until sunset to come back," Ms. Zhang said calmly, as if she didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said.

Qiao Bai gave a thumbs up.

My cat is amazing!

Another stereotype added.

Watching the chaotic scene between Cheng Liang and Xiao Lingmao, a seemingly endless charade of fatherly love and filial piety, Ms. Zhang waved to Qiao Bai and the little rascals.

"Go have fun."

"The battle is over."

The little radishes once again made a unified sound of disappointment.

"The little civet cat is so pitiful... It must be because the uncle is too weak!"

"Yes! That must be it! Mom's little fox is amazing!"

"But big brother's cat is amazing too!"

"Big brother is amazing!"

As they talked, the children's attention shifted to Qiao Bai and the cat-like insect in his arms.

Qiao Bai, who had become popular again: "..."

Before being surrounded by the children, Qiao Bai activated emergency avoidance mode—throwing cat-shaped insects to attract the children's attention, then patting his bottom and running away.

While running away, he didn't forget to leave a message for the cat bug through "Starry Sky" - Remember to come back!

Catbug: (-"-)

The dragon tamer is a scumbag!

……

Finally able to have some peace and quiet, Qiao Bai arrived at the room that Ms. Zhang had prepared for him. He sat on the soft sofa and let out a long breath.

"call--"

Finally, I can relax a bit.

While we're at it, let's take a good look at his spiritual sea and the little jellyfish.

Qiao Bai closed his eyes.

I don't know if it is a psychological effect.

The four stars seemed to have become even more dazzling.

Especially that blue star, which was flashing brightly, as if it were about to explode at any moment.

"Mind communication, dual command... Hmm, it seems there are still undiscovered uses. I need to study it further," Qiao Bai murmured to himself.

The most basic application of "stars" is the one that Qiao Bai just discovered.

Without needing to speak, one can directly command the corresponding pet beast through the stars in the mental sea, and both Qiao Bai and the pet beast will react faster.

Qiao Bai's steps to communicate with the stars are: "Concentrate and enter the spiritual sea" → "Find the corresponding star" → "Communicate with the star and issue commands" → "The pet receives the command".

It seems a bit complicated at first glance.

But once you really get the hang of it, it's just a matter of 0.1 seconds; your thoughts follow your heart.

After going through the whole process, it seemed that Qiao Bai had truly achieved a unity of mind and body with the cat-like insect... Well, there was still one step missing.

But Qiao Bai believed that once he got used to the training, he could achieve true unity of mind and body.

"You've got something," Qiao Bai said softly, stroking his chin.

correct.

A flash of inspiration.

Qiao Bai released both the little crow and the little jellyfish.

Xiao Wu rushed into Qiao Bai's arms immediately, its golden-red eyes scanning Qiao Bai up and down, examining every part of his body.

After confirming several times that Qiao Bai was really alright.

Little Crow jumped out of Qiao Bai's arms and stretched out its sharp beak to frantically peck at the little jellyfish.

Xiaowu: (▼へ▼メ)

Little jellyfish: QAQ

Little Wu is very angry!

Is this a betrayal from one's own people?

The little jellyfish felt even more aggrieved.

It wasn't intentional QAQ

Xiao Wu: I won't listen, I just won't listen!

In the chase, the little jellyfish dared not resist and could only run away frantically, its eight long tentacles almost spitting out sparks!

Qiao Bai, realizing what was happening, was speechless.

kindness?

Eight long tentacles?

Qiao Bai looked closely and saw that the six short tentacles that the little jellyfish had previously eaten away had grown back, and they looked exactly the same as the other two tentacles, with no difference whatsoever.

Qiao Bai: The spiritual sea has this function?

Otherwise, Qiao Bai really couldn't figure out how the little jellyfish managed to have six tentacles.

Oh.

It's not thanks to the spiritual sea.

It's highly likely that this is thanks to the illusionary mist.

Thinking about it this way, Qiao Bai became even more curious.

"Little Wu, come here." Qiao Bai opened his arms and waved to Little Wu.

The little eagle, which had been relentlessly chasing the jellyfish, stopped and stared at Qiao Bai's open arms for a while. Finally, it buried its head in Qiao Bai's arms, rubbing against his chest a few times, almost making whimpering noises.

╭ (╯ ^ ╰) ╮

The bird knew the beast tamer was doing it on purpose!

I wanted to use this method to distract the birds!

never mind!

Who made the bird pet tamer!

Seeing that Xiao Wu had finally calmed down, the little jellyfish cautiously and somewhat ingratiatingly fluttered towards Qiao Bai.

"Kulu..."

Beast Tamer... I'm so sorry...

The little jellyfish contracted and contracted; although its facial features were not visible, every part of its body exuded guilt.

"It's not your fault, or rather... I guess this is a blessing in disguise." Seeing the little jellyfish's cautious appearance, Qiao Bai also reached out a hand to it. The little jellyfish very cooperatively and lightly landed on Qiao Bai's hand, its two long tentacles gently wrapping around Qiao Bai's fingers, displaying a very docile demeanor.

Looking at those two tentacles, Qiao Bai couldn't help but recall the description of the Box Venom Jellyfish in the Illustrated Compendium of Marine Extraordinary Creatures.

It is said that...

In a group of box poison jellyfish, the act of actively wrapping one box poison jellyfish's tentacles around another's tentacles is seen as a gesture of submission.

So... does the little jellyfish consider him its leader?

Looking at the docile little jellyfish, Qiao Bai felt an indescribable sense of relief.

what--

After successively contracting one, two, or three arrogant beasts, his pet family has finally welcomed a little cutie, right?

Although she didn't know what Qiao Bai was thinking, Xiao Wu sensed that Qiao Bai's gaze had become very strange: "..."

The little jellyfish trembled for a moment, then obediently stretched out two long tentacles and wrapped them around the little bird's feathers.

This time, it was Qiao Bai's turn to remain silent.

No?

How can you submit to two bosses at the same time?

And they all have two tentacles... so there are four tentacles left, which means they can submit twice more, right?

Qiao Bai looked speechless.

What kind of new-era version of a traitor who has served three masters, and now there's one more?

Little jellyfish: "kulu—"

This is my way of surviving!

……

Clever.

obedient.

sensible.

Seeing his own little civet cat make such a gesture, Cheng Liang couldn't help but shed two lines of tears.

Waaaaah—

This scene is absolutely beautiful.

This is how he imagined the little cat would look in front of him.

But why is his little civet cat so obedient to Zhang Mama's tabby civet cat?

The tabby cat sat on the wall, its light yellow eyes filled with a domineering expression. It only glanced at the cow cat, and the overlord, who was jumping around and resolutely disobeying the beast tamer, fell silent.

Cheng Liang burst into tears once again.

"...That's enough, you've completely ruined your image." With no one around, Ms. Zhang Xiaofeng finally couldn't help but complain.

"I thought you'd grown up and matured, and weren't as childish as before, but I never expected you to be such a..." It was all an act!

The act wasn't even done well!

Cheng Liang, regaining his senses: "..."

Think back to what you just did... Very well, Cheng Liang wants to disappear from this earth.

Seeing Cheng Liang's dejected expression after being deeply hurt, Ms. Zhang Xiaofeng showed no sympathy whatsoever, and even seemed somewhat pleased: "Change your habit of overthinking things, and while you're at it, change your habit of acting crazy when you get excited."

"There's a reason why pets are like their tamers." As she spoke, Ms. Zhang's gaze swept over the little black cat.

Feeling that he had been criticized, Cheng Liang wanted to speak up to defend himself.

"If I'm wrong about anything, can you refute me?" Ms. Zhang retorted first.

Cheng Liang thought... Cheng Liang gave up thinking.

"My image... won't my younger siblings think I'm a really unreliable older brother?" Cheng Liang said in a desperate voice. He exchanged a glance with Ms. Zhang and made a pause gesture: "Okay, Mom, stop talking. I understand, I get it. I am unreliable, right?"

"It's good that you have that self-awareness," Ms. Zhang chuckled.

Perhaps overwhelmed by the blow, Cheng Liang took a deep breath and stopped wallowing in self-pity: "No, I can still salvage my image!"

"Just because I'm not good at beast battles doesn't mean I'm bad at pet research!"

"Xiaobai is so powerful, he must be a combat type, right? Hehehe, then I'll change Xiaobai's opinion of me from other aspects! I can also change the opinion of other younger brothers and sisters!" Cheng Liang said, clenching his fist with great confidence.

His eyes gleamed with exceptional wisdom.

Ms. Zhang: "..."

Ms. Zhang lowered her head and covered her face with her hands.

"Perhaps, is it possible that Shiro isn't a combat-type character, and you lost simply because you were too weak?"

Cheng Liang: "?"

"I don't believe it." Cheng Liang puffed out his chest and said loudly, "Although Tyrant is a little disobedient, as a feline pet, Tyrant is still very keen in its sense of danger. It sensed an extremely dangerous aura from that fat... well, Little White's pet."

"That's what the Tyrant told me, so it just pretended to be dead."

Ms. Zhang fell silent again.

The type of beast tamer determines the type of pet they raise, right?

Ms. Zhang was almost too tired to talk anymore, but she still had to say what needed to be said, otherwise what would this silly child she had raised be up to do next?

then--

Ms. Zhang sighed deeply and began to recount Qiao Bai's achievements and legends to Cheng Liang one by one.

Cheng Liang at the beginning: Xiao Bai is pretty good.

Cheng Liang, who was halfway through the conversation, exclaimed: "Holy crap! Is this even human?"

After listening, Cheng Liang said: "Great! I'm still alive! I didn't brag about my achievements in pet evolution, that's really good! I can still save some face!"

"Qiao Bai... Qiao Bai... Holy crap! I think I've heard my advisor mention this name before!" Cheng Liang, who finally knew Qiao Bai's full name, repeated Qiao Bai's name several times, a look of sudden realization flashing across his eyes.

Ms. Zhang: "?"

"Your mentor?" Ms. Zhang frowned subconsciously, as if she couldn't understand why Qiao Bai's name would travel across the ocean from China to Russia.

Cheng Liang stroked his chin, recalling earnestly, "It seems... it was just mentioned casually once? It was after China announced that it had conquered a new cutting-edge project. My mentor mentioned the name Qiao Bai, but as for what he said specifically..."
