Beast taming, starting from zero point-Chapter 140 - 135: Unnatural Phenomena
Chapter 140: Chapter 135: Unnatural Phenomena
“Yaobao…” Yaobao’s mouth was forced wide open.
As Qiao Sang got closer and took a look, she let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, her fast reaction and agile movement had prevented tens of thousands of Alliance Currency from being swallowed. It was still on the tongue.
“Hurry up and spit it out and give it back to it,” Qiao Sang said as she held Yaobao’s mouth open with one hand while pulling the Great Flame Sparrow’s wing closer with the other.
“Yaobao…”
Yaobao patted Qiao Sang’s arm with its paw, indicating that it could keep its mouth open by itself.
...
Understanding what Yaobao meant, Qiao Sang proudly let go of her hands.
Yaobao obediently opened its mouth and extended its tongue.
Its own Beast Tamer was really too poor…
“Yanyan!”
The Great Flame Sparrow withdrew its wing dissatisfiedly.
It was just some original magma after all; what it gave away had never been meant to be returned!
“Um…” Wang Yao watched Qiao Sang’s series of actions and couldn’t help but feel admiration.
Although it was a Fire Attribute Beast that was already bonded with her, being able to make it spit out something that was already in its mouth was impressive—her own Great Flame Sparrow would probably have smacked her with its wing on the spot.
“What’s wrong?” Qiao Sang turned to ask.
“The original magma can take effect just by being applied to the tongue; it doesn’t need to be swallowed,” Wang Yao explained.
Qiao Sang: “…!”
“Yaobao…” Yaobao kept the tongue-out pose, looking innocent.
Wang Yao smiled wearily: “It’s alright, I’m used to it. Just consider that mouthful of original magma a gift I gave to…”
“Yanyan!”
The Great Flame Sparrow suddenly became anxious at this statement.
“It’s a gift Xiaoyan gave to the Flame Listening Dog!” Wang Yao immediately corrected herself.
“Yanyan.” The Great Flame Sparrow nodded in satisfaction.
Qiao Sang looked at Wang Yao with a complex expression, feeling as if she was looking at her past self…
“Thank you,” Qiao Sang said, patting Wang Yao’s shoulder for comfort.
She understood the hardship of bonding with a Fire Attribute Beast; she had gone through the same with Yaobao when it was still a Fire-Toothed Dog.
“It’s nothing,” Wang Yao replied with tears in her eyes.
Since the original magma had taken effect, there was no reason to waste it. Qiao Sang immediately had Yaobao go to the training field, to the rock area that hadn’t been replaced yet, to release Sparks.
The Great Flame Sparrow followed behind to practice the Flame Vortex.
Watching the rocks on the field burst one after another, Wang Yao hesitated: “Are you sure the Flame Listening Dog is releasing Sparks? It seems like the power is even greater than Xiaoyan’s Flame Vortex.”
“Probably because of high proficiency,” Qiao Sang replied.
Wang Yao was skeptical. The Flame Vortex was a mid-level skill, whereas Sparks were a low-level skill. How proficient in Sparks did one have to be to overpower the Flame Vortex?
Moreover, her Great Flame Sparrow had already reached minor proficiency in the Flame Vortex.
But it was Qiao Sang speaking, a super rookie who had shattered her understanding, which made her reluctant to dismiss the possibility that these overly powerful effects were truly from Sparks.
The two fell silent for a while.
Qiao Sang suddenly asked, “Do you know how a pet beast’s spiritual power can be increased?”
“Spiritual power?” Wang Yao thought for a moment and said, “You can buy some potions that boost spiritual power, or maybe something like the Soothing Fruit.”
“Right, you can also expose the pet beast to something it’s afraid of. It seems that overcoming it can train their spiritual power.”
“But that last part I mentioned was from the newly-released movie ‘Tengguoguo Drift Diary,’ so I’m not sure if it’s true or not.”
“Generally, it’s the Psychic Series beasts that deal with increasing spiritual power; I’ve never tried it,” Wang Yao added.
Qiao Sang fell into deep thought.
If she wanted to control the Doppelganger over a long distance, an increase in spiritual power was definitely necessary. With not much money left, the latter method could be worth a try.
Overcoming a fear, huh…
What was Yaobao afraid of again…
Yaobao was still earnestly casting its skill, utterly unaware that it was about to enter the darkest moment of its life.
Then, a little while passed.
Qiao Sang pulled out her phone and checked the time, asking, “It’s already 8:13 pm, why hasn’t Teacher Zheng Baolong come yet?”
Before Wang Yao could answer, Shi Gaofeng, who happened to come over for a rest after a tiring practice, said loudly, “You mean Zheng Baolong? Gong Wei and their group battle team came back today. I saw them standing in the playground getting scolded miserably by Zheng Baolong when I was on my way here, probably still being scolded now.”
“You’ve only been here for two days, so you don’t know. When Zheng Baolong starts scolding someone, it never ends, he can’t stop for at least an hour,” he added.
“Really?” A voice that they absolutely didn’t want to hear at this moment resonated from behind.
Shi Gaofeng stiffly turned his head.
It was Zheng Baolong himself.
…
After finishing a day of training, Qiao Sang returned home and collapsed on the sofa.
She looked at the Beast Taming Codex, and currently, the page about Yaobao’s Spark ability showed (Mystique 16162/20000).
At school, Yaobao did not use Doppelganger, and the time it cast Spark was only a mere twenty minutes or so, yet the points increased by over 600.
The saying that only Beast Tamers who spend money would have a future really isn’t false.
At this thought, Qiao Sang remembered her own 5 million Alliance Currency.
Almost a month had passed; why hadn’t the police contacted her yet? They couldn’t have forgotten about her…
“Yaobao!”
Yaobao’s call brought Qiao Sang’s mind back to reality.
Looking at the solemn-faced Yaobao, Qiao Sang then remembered the morning’s incident, which she had promised to resolve after returning from school, but had almost forgotten.
There was no time to think in the morning; now, reflecting on it, everything seemed wrong.
Yaobao was in the same room, inexplicably drenched in water, yet there was not a single trace of water around it.
This was not a natural phenomenon.
Suddenly, Qiao Sang associated it with the mysterious puddle of water that had appeared in the living room the night before, and the cliff-like drop in rent.
There was something wrong with this house…
And it wasn’t the kind of common issue she had initially thought.
Qiao Sang’s heart tightened, and she took out her phone to call the agent, Little Wang.
It rang only twice before the other end picked up.
Before the other party could speak, Qiao Sang went straight to the point, “Hello, I’m the one who just rented number 1705 at Tianjing Garden the day before yesterday, remember me?”
“Remember, remember, Miss Qiao, is there anything wrong?” Little Wang asked.
The agent had to make phone calls daily; if not hundreds, then at least dozens. Remembering so quickly who was calling was indeed due to the deep impression left by that never-before-seen Pet Beast.
“Last time you mentioned that the landlord lowered the rent because there was an issue, could I ask what exactly the issue was?” Qiao Sang spoke with gravity.
She hadn’t asked in detail before, completely blinded by the drastic drop in rent.
After pondering for a moment, Little Wang replied, “The landlord just said that there was an urgent need for money due to family issues.”
Lies, Qiao Sang immediately made a judgment.
Would someone who could afford such a big house be lacking a total of 15,000 Alliance Currency in rent for three months? Moreover, if it was so urgent, how could it be lowered by so much?

“Did the landlord mention that this house would inexplicably have water appear out of nowhere?” asked Qiao Sang.
On hearing this, Little Wang, who didn’t have much experience in this job, became anxious, “Miss Qiao, there is absolutely no problem with the house. I showed it to you myself, and besides, we’ve already signed the contract.”
It seemed the landlord didn’t tell him.
Qiao Sang hung up the phone without saying much more.
Dealing with the agent would make the communication too complicated, and she had too many things to do right now.
Besides, she was quite satisfied with the house’s price, environment, and location; it was better for her to solve it on her own.
Qiao Sang pondered.
All unnatural phenomena are caused by Extraordinary Creatures.
Could there be an Extraordinary Creature in this house?
