Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger

Chapter 453: Chapter 228: Duck: Just a Bit of Hardship_2

Where are those frogs?

Seeing the grand setup in front of him, Chen Yuan was a bit taken aback. Could it be that the little ones on the farm had learned of his whereabouts in advance and came out specifically to greet him?

But no matter what, he had left the farm for a full two weeks, experiencing a series of events outside. Suddenly coming back and seeing all these little guys together, his heart couldn’t help but surge with emotion.

A big smile spread across his face: "I’m back!"

"Woof woof!"

Cola suddenly rushed out, head held high with undisguised pride and smugness in his eyes, and his tail wagged left and right, showing his excitement and thrill.

Duck, Electric Flying Cat, everyone, I’m home!

"Quack quack!"

Seeing his good friend return, Run Run Duck put aside the matter of the frogs and turned his attention to Cola, circling him intently.

Run Run Duck was just about to catch up with Cola when he noticed Cola stopped in front of him, head held high, seemingly unintentionally revealing the gold medal hanging around his neck.

The medal’s design was very nice, with some big words engraved on it that Run Run Duck didn’t recognize.

"Woof woof!"

Seeing Run Run Duck’s puzzled look, Cola got anxious and began to explain proactively.

It turned out that in addition to the championship cup, the competition committee had specially made championship medals for Spark and Cola to commemorate their splendid performance on the field, with their names engraved: Gale Hunting Dog - Cola, Flame Cloud Falcon - Spark.

Unfortunately, Da Feng Cup was a 2V2 competition format, so no third championship medal was prepared, leaving Twin Flower Concubine out of the loop.

But on the way home, Chen Yuan, considering the potential gap in Twin Flower Concubine’s feelings, specially bought a small medal from a store to hang around her neck.

Hearing Cola’s explanation, Run Run Duck immediately showed a look of envy, and the other little guys gathered around, casting curious glances.

The Electric Flying Cat even extended a paw, trying to touch the championship medal engraved with Cola’s name.

But Cola twisted his body and dodged, letting the Electric Flying Cat’s paw grab empty air.

"Woof woof!"

Cola shook his head, indicating that the medal was fragile and couldn’t be touched carelessly.

"Chirp~"

Spark, however, didn’t mind. Seeing the little guys turn their eyes to the medal on its neck, it had Chen Yuan help take it off and tossed the medal out.

The little ones passed it around, taking turns admiring it, and finally cautiously returned the medal to the leader.

"Woof..."

Seeing this, Cola’s expression froze, staring blankly at his owner.

Did I do something wrong?

"You didn’t do anything wrong." Chen Yuan squatted down, rubbed the fluffy dog head, and said gently, "There’s nothing wrong with taking good care of the medal, and also nothing wrong with sharing it with friends."

"Woof?"

Cola looked confused.

Then who was wrong?

"Hmm." Chen Yuan rested his chin on his hand in thought, then smiled, "It was the competition committee’s fault for not preparing more medals."

"Okay, time to go home."

Surrounded by the little guys, Chen Yuan, after two weeks, finally returned to the farm.

When he arrived in Baokun City yesterday, since it was still early, he decided to stay and rest, while having a meal and exchanging ideas with several leaders from the Baokun City Beastmaster Association.

Early this morning, he took a car back by himself.

Chen Wenhao had been researching Snow Cloud Wolf at the breeding base and hadn’t paid much attention to Da Feng Cup until he suddenly got a call from Professor Song yesterday, informing him of significant progress in the research on natural advancement over there, prompting him to rush back to the academy.

Upon returning to Xuanhe Village, Chen Yuan naturally received a grand and enthusiastic welcome, but fortunately, after experiencing similar scenes several times along the way, he was now immune to such welcome ceremonies.

Leaving the old man to roam around the village, he went back to the farm.

Entering the farm, Chen Yuan held back the fatigue of several days of travel and looked around.

What kind of mess had the little guys left in the farm after he was gone for two weeks?

Seeing Chen Yuan’s movements, Run Run Duck and Electric Flying Cat immediately grew nervous.

But soon, Run Run Duck became calm and composed.

After all, he hadn’t done anything wrong, so why be nervous?

All I did was have a late-night snack, watch TV staying up, rummage through the snacks at home, and temporarily use the farm owner’s bedroom.

That’s all.

Electric Flying Cat also quickly realized not to scare himself anymore.

Since knowing that the farm owner had installed surveillance cameras on the farm, he acted cautiously, plus the departure of the Ice Crystal Illusion Cat left him a bit dejected, not having the leisure to cause any trouble.

"Hmm, the farm is well maintained in terms of hygiene, you’re doing well." Walking around the farm, Chen Yuan nodded in approval at the Wood Spirit Rat family.

"Squeak!"

Scarface Rat stepped forward, suppressing his excitement, and bowed to Chen Yuan.

It’s just a duty, nothing more.

Coming to the yard, there was still nothing for Chen Yuan to criticize, and the resulting Void Fruit made him pat Run Run Duck on the shoulder: "Well done, Duck, it seems you’ve been working well during this time."

"Quack quack~"

The Run Run Duck ruffled the feathers on its head, suddenly remembering something, and stared intently at Chen Yuan: "Quack quack!"

Spirit Fish!

Where are my three Spirit Fish?!!

Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "Don’t worry, Duck, I’ll catch them for you tomorrow."

"Quack!"

Upon hearing this, Run Run Duck was overjoyed.

The little guys’ behavior made Chen Yuan feel pleasantly surprised and satisfied; even the main hall remained as clean and tidy as usual. It seemed they had been well-behaved during this period without causing him any trouble.

"Alright, you guys go play by yourselves. I’m going to take a nap."

Chen Yuan opened the door and walked into the bedroom, waving to the little creatures.

He’s too tired and desperately needed a nap to replenish his energy.

"Woof woof~"

Cola eagerly bit Run Run Duck’s little tail, trying to tug it outside to play.

But Run Run Duck didn’t move, just kept staring at Chen Yuan walking into the bedroom.

"Woof?"

Cola looked puzzled and tugged at Run Run Duck again, but still got no response.

As Cola was about to ask, an angry voice came from the bedroom: "Duck, get in here!"

The voice rumbled like thunder in their ears, and all the little creatures stared at Run Run Duck with dumbfound expressions, each casting sympathetic glances.

What was meant to come has come.

"Quack quack~"

Run Run Duck ruffled its feathers once more, exhaling a long breath, and walked into the bedroom with an air of resignation.

Anyway, I’ve already enjoyed the soft and comfy big bed. At worst, I’ll continue sleeping on the cold big stone or on the water surface.

A little bit of hardship, that’s all.

After a while,

Run Run Duck swaggered out of the bedroom. Cola quickly approached with a concerned look.

Are you okay, Duck?

"Quack."

Run Run Duck shook its head, then nodded slightly.

The farm owner didn’t scold me too much, but those three Spirit Fish have said goodbye to me.

Just three Spirit Fish, Duck, I can catch some myself at Mingyu Lake!

Wait a minute.

Mingyu Lake?

Run Run Duck suddenly remembered what it had forgotten and hurriedly rushed back into the bedroom, recounting everything that had happened to the farm owner.

"Are you saying that Far Traveling Frog was sent to deal with you?" Chen Yuan looked at Run Run Duck with suspicion.

"Quack quack!" Run Run Duck nodded emphatically.

That’s definitely the case!

Chen Yuan doubted Run Run Duck’s claim. The Far Traveling Frog had been trading peacefully and had no motive to go after Run Run Duck, let alone be ordered by the Strong Frog.

After all, that Far Traveling Frog was very special, possessing incredible abilities, making it extremely unique among the frog pet beasts.

The Strong Frog in the cave could be easily defeated by Run Run Duck, so it surely didn’t have the strength to direct the Far Traveling Frog.

However, seeing the truthful look on Run Run Duck’s face, Chen Yuan considered and said, "Alright, I’ll keep an eye on it."

No matter what those two frogs intend to do, Chen Yuan already brought back the twin forces of Spark and Cola. Any wild pet beasts seeing the farm would only take a detour.

No wild pet beast would dare to come to the farm seeking trouble.

"Crack."

But just then, Iron Head’s voice came from the gate.

The sound was loud and urgent, evidently signaling an emergency.

"Quack quack!"

Run Run Duck immediately looked up, nervously glancing toward the gate, wings flapping vigorously.

They’re here!

They’re here!

Chen Yuan’s expression remained unchanged, suddenly standing: "Spark, Cola, go and see what’s going on."

"Woof!"

The champion pet beast, Cola, charged out!

"Chirp."

Spark was accustomed to Cola’s reaction, spreading its wings and flying high, its mouth already seething with flame streams.
