Beast Taming: Starting From Zero

Little Treasure couldn't hold back any longer and appeared to translate.

“Xun.”

“Xun xun.”

Only then did Qiao Sang realize that Water Luriana was asking about Yabao.

“When did you two become so close?” Qiao Sang asked.

In her impression, Water Luriana had never liked Yabao. Even if they hadn’t fought recently, Water Luriana would turn away as soon as she saw Yabao, seeming unwilling to even make eye contact.

Now that Yabao was just absent for a while, Water Luriana actually noticed and cared about his whereabouts, this was unusual… (t/n: Someone's got a little crush~)

“Lu lu!”

“Lu lu!”

Hearing Qiao Sang's words, Water Luriana paused for a moment, and then her fur stood on end as her body half-burst out, gesturing excitedly, looking as if she had been seriously wronged.

Qiao Sang hurriedly whispered to calm her down, “I know, I know. Just go back in, the people around are looking over.”

She had only asked casually, so why was the reaction so intense?

Water Luriana's body retreated, but her head remained outside, her deep eyes fixed on Qiao Sang.

“Lu lu…”

“Xun xun~” Little Treasure timely translated.

Wow, she hadn’t forgotten to continue asking about Yabao… Qiao Sang began to recount what had happened at school today.

One minute later.

“That’s how it is, so we need to stop by the Beast Center first to get Yabao treated.” Qiao Sang said.

“Lu lu!”

After listening, Water Luriana called out seriously.

Before Qiao Sang could guess what Water Luriana meant, Little Treasure quickly translated.

Qiao Sang was taken aback and asked, “Are you saying you can treat Yabao?”

“Lu lu!”

Water Luriana nodded vigorously.

Qiao Sang recalled something she had seen online about Water Luriana.

“It’s said that even if you’re missing arms or legs, as long as the gem on its head lights up, nothing is beyond recovery.”

There had been so much going on lately that she had almost forgotten that Water Luriana was a super healer…

“Then I’ll leave it to you!” Qiao Sang said earnestly.

“Lu lu!”

Upon returning home, Qiao Sang summoned Yabao.

At that moment, Yabao had regained consciousness thanks to the effects of the Beast Codex, but he still bore injuries and was not in great condition.

“Yap!”

As soon as Yabao appeared, he wagged his tail happily at his Beast Master.

Before he could wag it too much, a blue light enveloped him.

“Yap yap…”

Yabao showed a comfortable expression.

Qiao Sang watched in astonishment as Yabao’s wounds healed at a visibly fast pace, taking no more than five seconds.

What a miraculous skill! If she contracted Water Luriana, their survival rate in the Secret Realm would skyrocket.

Once the treatment was finished, the blue light on the gem on Water Luriana’s forehead faded.

When Yabao looked at her, she blushed, her ears perked up, and with a whoosh, she dashed off to the courtyard.

Qiao Sang paused for a moment, “What did you do to offend her just now?”

“Yap…”

Yabao tilted his head, looking confused.

He didn’t know either.

After dinner, Qiao Sang returned to her room to do her homework.

As a student, she didn’t have to worry about food or clothing, but she still often felt miserable, mainly because of the homework she had to write every day.

Fortunately, Qiao Sang had experienced the transition from being a student to working, so she didn’t harbor much resentment toward doing homework.

Only those who have lived the life of a corporate worker know how blissful student life is.

Qiao Sang focused intently on the problems in her hands. In the Beast Master society, high school subjects were generally related to pet beasts.

For example, the math problem she was currently working on: “A team battle competition between Team A and Team B will be conducted using a best-of-seven format. The home and away arrangements for Team A are as follows: ‘home home away away home away home.’ Let the probability of Team A winning at home be 0.6 and the probability of winning away be 0.5, with the outcomes of each match being independent. What is the probability of Team A winning 4:1?”

Qiao Sang concentrated and quickly answered.

By now, she had gained a sufficient understanding of the Beast Master world, no longer staring blankly at the questions like she had on her first day.

Had it been back then, she probably would have spent ages pondering the phrase team battle competition.

She didn’t know how long she had been writing when a blue claw suddenly landed on her problem sheet.

Startled, Qiao Sang turned and found it was Water Luriana.

“How come you’re as sneaky as Little Treasure ?” Qiao Sang said, clutching her chest.

“Lu lu.” Water Luriana called out seriously.

Combining Water Luriana's expression and her sudden appearance, Qiao Sang suddenly stood up, excitedly asking, “Did you find a pet beast you like on your phone?!”

Water Luriana’s expression stiffened, and then a water gun as thick as a finger sprayed directly at Qiao Sang's face.

Qiao Sang: …

If you didn’t find one, then just say so! Can’t we communicate properly? Why the water spray?…

Qiao Sang wiped her face, feeling exhausted, and called out, “Little Treasure!”

“Xun~”

Little Treasure instantly appeared in the room.

“You come to be the translator.” Qiao Sang instructed.

“Xun xun~” Little Treasure nodded.

Only with Little Treasure’s translation did Qiao Sang understand Water Luriana's intention for coming over.

“You want to learn a new skill?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Lu lu.”

Water Luriana nodded.

Qiao Sang looked thoughtful.

Indeed, in Water Luriana's view, wanting to become stronger meant not only evolution but also learning new skills. She still didn’t know that her time was running out…

Thinking of this, Qiao Sang couldn’t help but soften her heart and said, “Okay, let’s go to the courtyard now. First, show me the skills you know, and then I’ll think about which skills would be better for you to learn.”

“Lu lu.”

In the courtyard.

Qiao Sang, Yabao, and Little Treasure watched Water Luriana by the pool.

Water Luriana opened her mouth, and dozens of transparent bubbles emerged.

“Bubble Beam…” Qiao Sang recorded the notes with paper and pen.

Soon, another water gun was shot out.

After the water gun was shot, Shui Luyana vigorously waved her tail, and a stream of water completely wrapped around it.

Then she dispersed the water stream from her tail, stomped her forelimbs, and mist filled the air.

“Water Gun, Water Tail, Mist…”

After recording the skills she had used, Qiao Sang noticed that Water Luriana hadn’t moved for a while, so she looked up and said, “Keep going.”

Water Luriana blinked her eyes.

Qiao Sang paused for a moment, a bad premonition bubbling up in her heart, hesitantly asking, “You… don’t only know these four moves, do you?”

Water Luriana wasn’t pleased to hear this; Was she being criticized for having too few skills?!

She raised her head proudly and pointed her claw at the blue gem on her forehead.

“...Hmm, impressive, and you also have a healing skill.”

Looking at Water Luriana's proud expression, Qiao Sang sighed inwardly.

She never expected Water Luriana’s aptitude to be so poor.

Seven years.

To reach the end of her life only knowing five skills…

Little Treasure had known five skills since birth…

“Lu lu?”

Seeing the human in front of her staring at her in silence, Water Luriana tilted her head in confusion.

Qiao Sang was silent for two seconds before speaking, “It’s okay, diligence can make up for lack of talent. I believe you can do it.”

Water Luriana: ???
