Beast taming, starting from zero point-Chapter 47 - 44: Have Some Good Food

Chapter 47: Chapter 44: Have Some Good Food

“Haha, didn’t I spend time training the Fire-Toothed Dog? Otherwise, how could I have become the special recruit first place? Right, Fire-Toothed Dog?” Qiao Sang chuckled awkwardly, secretly putting some strength into petting the Fire-Toothed Dog as she spoke.

Now that she had graduated, explaining to the homeroom teacher was no longer important; explaining to her mother was of the utmost importance.

“Tooth.”

The Fire-Toothed Dog nodded earnestly, cooperating with a response.

Before her mother could speak, the old class teacher beat her to it, “Becoming the special recruit first place is really remarkable.”

He smiled and glanced at Qiao Sang, but spoke to her mother, “How have you been, Qiao Sang’s mom?”

Qiao Sang shuddered, the old class teacher was definitely doing it on purpose!

Her mother, however, glanced at Qiao Sang with a knowing look and turned her head to smile, “I’ve been quite well.”

“Mom, my aunt called me, I’ll go over there first.” Seizing the opportunity when someone else at the table called her, Qiao Sang spoke and made a quick exit.

“Third Aunt, did you call me?” Qiao Sang sighed in relief as she arrived at another table.

Most of those sitting at this table were relatives from her mother’s side.

Her mother had three brothers and one sister.

Aside from her third uncle, who still lived nearby, the rest of the family—her eldest and second uncle and her aunt—had moved to other provinces to develop their careers.

Her third uncle didn’t live in Hangkang City but in Qitang Town, more than 90 kilometers away from Hangkang City.

Qitang Town, Qiao Sang’s hometown, was where her mother was born.

Her third uncle had spent his entire life in this small town, not for anything else but to take good care of his parents-in-law. The aunt stayed there with him all the while.

They had two kids; their eldest had gone to college, but they had never really gone out and traveled.

For Qiao Sang, the relatives on her mother’s side were closer to those of the third uncle’s family.

After all, they were in the same province and visited each other during festivals and holidays.

“Qiao Sang, do you want to come over and visit during the summer vacation? Your grandparents miss you terribly. If it hadn’t been for their poor health, which I insisted on, they would have come to see you this time,” the third aunt said with a smile.

The third aunt wasn’t a Beast Tamer and didn’t have the Beast Taming Codex or a Pet Beast to rejuvenate her, so the signs of age were particularly evident on her face.

“Sure, I’ll come over in mid-July,” Qiao Sang promised and gave a specific time immediately.

In fact, even without her third aunt saying so, she was planning to stay in her hometown during the summer vacation.

Qiao Sang’s home was on the sixth floor, and it was inconvenient to train the Fire-Toothed Dog downstairs in the community.

It was a Fire Attribute Beast, and even a slight spray of fire could easily damage the greenery in the community if not careful.

Qitang Town was different.

The house in Qiao Sang’s hometown had a large backyard.

Taking a bus to the nearby Tan’an Village, there was a small forest, which was a very suitable place for training.

Qiao Sang had calculated the time. In a few days, on June 30, there would be an F-rank Beast Tamer competition in Hangkang City she could enroll in. She could participate in the competition and then return to her hometown.

For Qiao Sang, that competition was not a contest but a naked opportunity to earn points!

“Good, we’ll wait for you then,” the third aunt said cheerfully, her gaze shifting to Qiao Sang’s arms, “This must be the Pet Beast you’ve contracted, right? It’s so cute.”

Saying so, she reached out and petted it.

The Fire-Toothed Dog blissfully narrowed its eyes.

Qiao Sang relaxed, sometimes whether or not a Pet Beast liked someone truly was a mystery.

…

When the banquet ended and her mother accompanied her third aunt and the others shopping, Qiao Sang headed home first.

Not daring to call on the Fire-Toothed Dog for help, she cleaned every inch of the house all by herself.

Only when the house looked spotless did Qiao Sang feel her heart settle somewhat.

With the middle school exams over and Shengshui Middle School secured, everything that should have happened had passed.

Even though she had secretly taken almost two weeks off without telling her mother, seeing such a clean house should prevent her mother from saying anything more…

Qiao Sang took the Fire-Toothed Dog downstairs to the community, intending as usual to carry out some speed training.

“Tooth.”

The Fire-Toothed Dog shook its head, not willing to comply.

Having taken great pains to look so smart, wouldn’t all its efforts be wasted if it sweated during training?

“Didn’t think you’d care about keeping up appearances,” Qiao Sang squatted down and chuckled as he petted the Fire-Toothed Dog.

The Fire-Toothed Dog usually took the initiative to ask for training, but this time it didn’t want to train to maintain its look, so Qiao Sang naturally didn’t force it.

“Ya~”

The Fire-Toothed Dog squirmed a little.

“I’ll take you to eat something nice,” Qiao Sang said as he picked up the Fire-Toothed Dog.

“Ya?”

The Fire-Toothed Dog let out a puzzled yelp.

Didn’t we just eat?

Eat again?

It turned its head and thought for a moment.

Actually… it’s not out of the question…

The Fire-Toothed Dog did not resist and followed Qiao Sang to a local snack shop.

“Boss, give us three skewers of super incredibly awfully spicy grilled wings.”

“Coming right up!”

Qiao Sang, holding the Fire-Toothed Dog, found an empty seat and sat down.

“Ya?”

The Fire-Toothed Dog blinked its moist eyes.

Are three skewers enough?

“Enough,” Qiao Sang laughed and then said, “After you finish, try releasing ‘Spark’, gather the energy at a single point, compress it, then release.”

Her purpose for coming here wasn’t just to eat, but to experiment with her hypothesis on skill development.

With the Golden Finger, Qiao Sang didn’t have to worry about not being able to improve her skill proficiency, so she had been considering how to teach the Fire-Toothed Dog new skills.

The idea of bath-soaking in medicinal herbs that the vice-principal of Shengshui Middle School mentioned was too pricey for her to continue.

She couldn’t afford the conventional route of specialized skill-learning institutions either, and there were no elders nearby with the same contract with a Fire Attribute Beast who could teach her.

So the development of new skills could only come from her own relentless guesswork.

There were quite a few skills that low-level Fire Attribute Beasts could learn, yet the Fire-Toothed Dog only knew ‘Flame Tooth’ and ‘Spark’.

A few days ago, Qiao Sang had the Fire-Toothed Dog try to compress its energy when releasing ‘Spark’ before letting go.

But other than increased power, there was no real difference.

‘Spark’ was still ‘Spark’.

That’s when Qiao Sang thought of the super incredibly awfully spicy grilled wings.

The spicy oil they were slathered in wasn’t ordinary; it was extracted from the seeds of the plant-based Pet Beast, Pepper You Vine.

Even a non-Fire Element beast might breathe fire after eating such a thing.

What about a real Fire Attribute Beast? Wouldn’t it stimulate all the energy inside its body?

Then, with energy gathered and compressed before release, the effect would certainly be different.

Although the Fire-Toothed Dog didn’t understand the methods of its Beast Tamer, gathering and releasing energy to create a ‘Spark’ was hardly difficult training for it, not even causing it to break a sweat.

Since it would not affect its appearance, the Fire-Toothed Dog naturally nodded and didn’t refuse.

Soon, the super incredibly awfully spicy grilled wings were served.

The wings, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, slathered with red oil, were fragrant and irresistible)

The Fire-Toothed Dog’s appetite was instantly triggered, its paw reaching out to grab a skewer to eat.

Qiao Sang quickly took all three skewers.

“Ya?”

The Fire-Toothed Dog looked confused—with a face that seemed to say, weren’t we going to eat?

“We’ll eat outside,” Qiao Sang said.

How could they practice compressing and releasing skills in someone else’s shop?

If they couldn’t control it and a flame burst out, they might have to stay and wash dishes to settle the bill.
