Chapter 143: Chapter 138 Beautiful and Peaceful
Yaobao paused and turned to look at the still-unconscious Shuilu Yana on the sofa.
Could the culprit be so pitiable…
Seeing Yaobao’s expression, Qiao Sang knew it had softened, and she continued, “Maybe it splashed water on you because it was too lonely and wanted to play with you.”
Xiao Xunbao, the Treasure-seeking Ghost, stopped its movement of taking things out of the ring and glanced at its Beast Tamer.
Who would believe such a thing, it certainly didn’t.
Yaobao seemed lost in thought, is that how it was…
Qiao Sang, seeing that her deception was almost complete, said earnestly, “When it wakes up, we should greet it kindly, let it feel love and warmth.”
At this point, she sighed, “This child is really too pitiful.”
Yaobao’s expression twisted for a moment, then glanced again at the closed-eyed Shuilu Yana.
It hadn’t noticed before, but now that it looked, it realized how pitifully small the creature was; it could flatten it with just its backside.
So when it sprayed water on itself, it probably wasn’t a challenge but, just as its own Beast Tamer had said, it wanted to play…
With that thought, Yaobao nodded.
It’s just a greeting, it could do that.
Qiao Sang almost laughed at the sight but managed to restrain herself.
It wasn’t hard to guess why Shuilu Yana sprayed water at Yaobao; it was probably practicing its skills last night by shooting water into the pool, hence only Yaobao got wet and not her or the little Treasure-seeking Ghost.
The internet said that Shuilu Yana has a gentle nature and is a symbol of beauty and peace.
If that were true, as long as she sends a friendly signal, it won’t be hard to get along with it and gain its acceptance.
Tomorrow, she would go ask her teacher for the Meditation Method to enhance her brain domain.
Once she had the third page of the Beast Taming Codex, by that time… hehehe… Qiao Sang finally couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
The little Treasure-seeking Ghost looked at Qiao Sang’s foolish smile and thought back to the earlier conversation, covering its mouth and giggling; both its Beast Tamer and big brother Yaobao seemed so silly.
Just then, Shuilu Yana on the sofa opened its eyes.
This pet beast, as rare as a divine beast, captivated Qiao Sang’s heart with every move, and she noticed the moment it opened its eyes.
While Shuilu Yana seemed explosively cute with its eyes closed, the look it had upon opening them was completely different.
Its eyes, as dark as the deep sea, instantly transformed its aura from cute to mysterious.
Qiao Sang hesitated for a moment, then showed the friendliest smile she could muster, “You’re awa…”
Before she finished speaking, a jet of water splashed her in the face.
Seeing its own Beast Tamer sprayed in the face, Yaobao instantly flared up, forgetting its earlier words and readied for three hundred rounds of battle.
“Wait!” Qiao Sang spoke calmly with her left hand, “I’m fine!”
She touched her face with her right hand, feeling the water.
Shuilu Yana’s action was also understandable; it had been knocked out a moment ago, could it be expected to show a pleasant face?
But no matter, everything could be remedied.
Shuilu Yana has a gentle nature and is a symbol of beauty and peace!
Qiao Sang tugged at the corners of her mouth and again put on a benevolent face, “So, we…”
Another jet of water interrupted her.
So much for the symbol of beauty and peace! Let her finish a sentence, at least!
Fur bristling, Yaobao glared angrily at Shuilu Yana.
“Lulu!” Shuilu Yana, seeing the Flame Listening Dog several times its size, was not intimidated and arrogantly lifted its head to challenge Yaobao.
The expression was sassy, the attitude proud, but the appearance of two erratic-sized bubbles suddenly emerging from its nostrils made its aloof demeanor collapse in an instant.
Qiao Sang felt tempted, she really wanted to capture this moment…
Sparks flashed in the eyes of the two pet beasts, on the verge of battle.
Just then, the little Treasure-seeking Ghost floated between them holding two bottles of milk.
It hadn’t forgotten the task its Beast Tamer had entrusted to it.
Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief. It was fortunate that Xiao Xunbao, the Treasure-seeking Ghost, was around. With Shuilu Yana not communicating with her, she could only rely on the Xiao Xunbao…
Seeing its younger brother standing in the middle, Yaobao reined in its aggression.
Shuilu Yana stared at the milk before it, its nostrils bubbling before the bubbles burst.
It seemed to have thought of something and came to its senses, flicking its tail and directly knocking over the milk in Xiao Xunbao’s claws.
Yaobao’s expression changed, and it opened its mouth, revealing its long-missed fangs wrapped in flames.
Shuilu Yana looked on indifferently, its tail glowing blue as the visible ripples of water began to accelerate rapidly.
Xiao Xunbao, holding two bottles of milk, once again played the role of peacemaker.
Shuilu Yana looked at the milk, which had returned to the claws of Xiao Xunbao, and was taken aback again.
The Xiao Xunbao quickly understood Shuilu Yana’s intentions.
It released its claws, letting the milk fall, but just before the milk touched the ground, it suddenly stopped.
The next second, the milk returned to its claws.
It turned out that Xiao Xunbao had just used telekinesis to bring the milk back.
After showing its ability, Xiao Xunbao continued to offer the milk in front of Shuilu Yana.
Shuilu Yana was stunned looking at the milk; it hadn’t expected that after all it had done, the Pet Beast would still offer it milk.
Yaobao, maintaining its Flame Tooth, signaled its younger brother to move aside, insisting on having a fight first. It was already quite annoyed with this creature!
Xiao Xunbao turned and shook its head, ever mindful of its Beast Tamer’s words.
Qiao Sang was quite moved by the scene. She hadn’t expected Xiao Xunbao to be so capable and reliable!
Shuilu Yana appeared entranced for a few seconds by Xiao Xunbao speaking on its behalf.
The next moment, the blue glow on its tail vanished, and the flowing water returned to normal before it leaped off the couch and ran towards the courtyard.
Xiao Xunbao, seeing this, desperately wanted to chase after it.
Yaobao, looking at the culprit that had run away, let the fire on its fangs dissipate and scornfully watched in the direction Shuilu Yana had run.
Hmph, what a coward. Not daring to fight with it.
Xiao Xunbao was anxious to follow.
Qiao Sang called out just in time: “Let it be, don’t chase. It should know your intentions by now.”
She had been watching the whole time. This Shuilu Yana was not quite as described online. It didn’t seem gentle or peace-loving. It was covered in spines, especially towards humans; it didn’t hesitate to attack her with twin water cannons at the slightest disagreement, yet it waited for Yaobao to take the first shot during their standoff.
It was clear that Shuilu Yana had been ready to fight with Yaobao but had held back due to Xiao Xunbao’s intervention, showing that it did have a softer side.
Qiao Sang guessed that Shuilu Yana wouldn’t leave the house immediately.
For a wild supernatural Pet Beast, the city was dangerous, especially for one as close to extinction as it was. Probably stepping outside would result in it being caught the minute it was spotted.
Having traveled all the way from the Ancient Mist Region to the Yuhua Region, it likely had encountered such events.
Once it determined that staying here posed no danger, it probably wouldn’t change locations easily.”
Although there wasn’t the friendly handshake she had envisioned, there would be more days to come…
Qiao Sang was still imagining the future.
Xiao Xunbao, pouting with a wronged expression, floated to her side.
The milk had not been delivered.
Qiao Sang softened, speaking gently: “You’ve already done very well.”
Xiao Xunbao called out twice, sounding aggrieved.
Without having delivered anything, did it still get its tenfold reward?
