Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger-Chapter 86: Never Mess with the Bean Chicken

Yang Yue thought this world must have gone mad.

She became a Beastmaster in just two days, which was considered quite fast in the vast city of Baokun. With her parents’ financial support, she contracted with a Cloud Fox, putting her ahead of many Beastmasters.

After some diligent training, Yang Yue dragged Li Qing to this remote place to explore, aiming to make the Cloud Fox stronger.

Though they encountered the furious Violent Cloud Sparrow Flock on the way, it matched Yang Yue’s adventure expectations.

But what happened next left Yang Yue increasingly baffled.

A single phone call made the Violent Cloud Sparrows retreat, and the Pet Beasts at the farm were simply outrageous — the Gale Hunting Dog watching the gate, the Steel-headed Ground Rat tilling the fields, and the Run Run Duck watering them.

Even though Yang Yue’s Beastmaster experience was not extensive, she could easily deduce from the Cloud Fox’s reaction one conclusion — these three Pet Beasts are much stronger than the Cloud Fox.

How many more surprises are hidden in this seemingly ordinary farm?

The three continued forward, where a Bean Chicken leading a flock of little chicks caught Yang Yue’s attention.

"Finally, a very normal Pet Beast." Yang Yue thought to herself.

"But the Bean Chicken chicks are just too cute, such a round little body, so adorable." Her eyes lit up, and as usual, she took out her phone to take a picture.

As the flash lit up, the Bean Chicken glared, immediately flapping its wings and whipping up a whirlwind, blowing the three’s clothes in all directions.

A terrifying aura began to brew, and the Cloud Fox buried its head deep in Yang Yue’s arms, its body trembling.

Zhang Hao quickly raised his hands: "We mean no harm, just passing through."

"Just passing through!"

"Cluck."

The Bean Chicken stopped flapping its wings, merely cast a sidelong glance at Yang Yue, then swaggered off towards the chicken coop with the chicks following closely.

"This....." Yang Yue was instantly dumbfounded.

Zhang Hao’s face turned serious: "Never provoke a Bean Chicken with chicks."

He was curious the first time too, attempting to touch the cute Bean Chicken chicks.

This action nearly resulted in his hands being pecked into holes by the Bean Chicken.

Since then, whenever encountering a Bean Chicken on the farm, Zhang Hao would detour far around it.

Yang Yue was filled with a surge of emotions, her mouth opened, but she couldn’t utter a word, only shouting in her mind: "Just what kind of farm is this???"

"Why is even a seemingly normal Bean Chicken so scary!"

The three finally reached the courtyard, looking up to see towering trees standing around it, silent guardians in the cloak of night.

"Look at those two trees." Li Qing, silent all the way, stared closely at the two tall trees ahead, prompting Yang Yue to look, "If I’m not mistaken, that’s a Luminous Fruit Tree."

"One Luminous Fruit is worth 25 Contribution Value."

As these words sounded, Yang Yue’s eyes widened.

"The smaller tree beside it should be a Blazing Fruit Tree."

"One Blazing Fruit is worth 20 Contribution Value."

Li Qing’s voice continued, and Yang Yue’s expression grew increasingly complex.

Though her family had some assets, buying a Luminous Fruit or a Blazing Fruit still made her flinch.

Not to mention these were two Luminous Fruit Trees and one Blazing Fruit Tree; selling the fruits could probably buy a house in Baokun City.

While Yang Yue was shocked, Li Qing noticed the small seedlings in the field under the dim courtyard light, her eyes sparkling.

Zhang Hao found the growth speed of these large trees peculiar but wasn’t curious enough to ask Chen Yuan directly about this.

In this new era, anything happening was normal.

What seemed strange just showed his lack of experience.

"We got here quickly." Chen Yuan arrived in the courtyard with several plates, placing them on the table, "Tired? Wash your hands and have dinner first."

Having heard from Zhang Hao that the two needed to express gratitude in person, Chen Yuan initially planned to brush it off. However, the old man insisted on having them for dinner, claiming: "We must let every visitor to Xuanhe Village feel the warmth of home."

The old man would make a great tourism ambassador for Xuanhe Village.

Chen Yuan couldn’t argue with the old man and had to hastily prepare dinner.

Dinner was simple; Chen Yuan took a Spirit Fish from the fridge, sliced it into thin pieces, added vegetables from the field, and some beef and lamb from the town, thus creating a simple hotpot.

The evening breeze gradually blew away the daytime heat, making the weather pleasant.

After some bustling, the five sat at the table.

"Don’t be shy, just feel at home." Chen Weiyi began with his chopsticks, speaking with a smile.

"All right, thanks for hosting us." Yang Yue picked up her chopsticks and picked a piece of fish, dabbed it in the boiling pot, then immediately dipped it in the sauce and gobbled it up.

"So fresh!"

"And so smooth and tender."

With the first bite, Yang Yue’s eyes lit up, she couldn’t help but exclaim.

In terms of the quality of the ingredients, this was far superior to the fish she had at high-end restaurants.

"Huh?"

"How come I feel a warm current in my body..." Yang Yue’s eyes widened suddenly, instinctively touching her belly.

"Apparently, this is a Spirit Fish." Li Qing picked a piece of fish, squinted to examine it closely, its translucent scales glistening under the yellow light.

After dipping briefly, Li Qing placed the fish into her mouth, chewing slowly, savoring until the flavor of the Spirit Fish burst within, a warm current coursing through her abdomen. She nodded: "Indeed, it’s a Spirit Fish."

"It benefits the body greatly, but Spirit Fish can cost tens of thousands each?" Yang Yue looked at the plate of Spirit Fish slices, surprised.

Li Qing said: "The price of Spirit Fish is subjective to quality, but the one we are eating should be worth several thousand."

Yang Yue instinctively said: "Then didn’t I just eat dozens in one bite?"

Zhang Hao, devouring the food, didn’t even lift his head: "Why worry about that, Yuan’s family has plenty of Spirit Fish."

Yang Yue’s face froze.

Chen Yuan laughed and said: "That’s not true, this mountain is rich in resources, with patience, you too can catch a Spirit Fish."

"Quack quack～"

The Run Run Duck swaggered over from a distance, heading straight for the kitchen, and soon came back, carrying a plate to Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan chuckled helplessly, cooked some fish for the Run Run Duck, and placed it in the plate.

"Quack quack."

The Run Run Duck nodded in satisfaction, sitting obediently on a small stool, squinting and enjoying the fish.

"By the way." Yang Yue suddenly remembered something, put down her chopsticks, and asked Chen Yuan, "Which Pet Beast is Spark? Thank it for helping us drive away the Violent Cloud Sparrows."

"It’s in my Beast Taming Space." Chen Yuan explained with a smile, "I’ll summon it now."

To quickly increase Spark’s strength, every night Chen Yuan would let Spark stay in the Beast Taming Space.

As the mysterious Summoning Array formed on the ground, white light blossomed, revealing Spark’s silhouette.

"Chirp!"

Seeing everyone staring intently, Spark remained composed, stretching its ever-expanding wings, the fiery feathers catching everyone’s eyes.

The Cloud Fox next to Yang Yue’s leg and the Scaly Green Snake in the backpack poked their heads out, curiously looking toward Spark.

Spark seemed to sense, returning their gaze sharply, instantly scaring the two little creatures to lower their heads, trembling.

How....how terrifying.

More frightening than those they encountered before.
