Beast taming, starting from zero point

Chapter 2237: Chapter 302: Nether Ring Monarch

Qiao Sang looked at the successfully evolved Little Treasure Spirit not far away, and two words popped into her mind: So dark...

Immediately followed by a second thought: Such white teeth...

As these thoughts flashed, Qingbao covered its belly with one paw and pointed at Little Treasure Spirit with the other, laughing loudly:

"Qingqing!"

"Qingqing!"

Hahaha! You’ve become so dark!

"Ya Ya..."

Yaobao nodded in strong agreement.

"Ting Ting."

Tingbao called out, indicating that, boss, your teeth are really white now.

"Xun Xun?"

Little Treasure Spirit froze for a moment, a bad premonition suddenly rising in its heart. It took off one of its rings, reached inside, and quickly took out a mirror, looking at itself.

The next second, an incredibly tragic voice immediately echoed through the sky:

"Xun Xun!!!"

Qiao Sang: "..."

"Actually, it’s not that dark. Maybe it’s because it’s nighttime now and there aren’t many lights around, so it looks a bit darker." Qiao Sang consoled.

"Xun Xun?"

Little Treasure Spirit looked at its Beast Tamer with teary eyes and called out.

Really?

Not really... Qiao Sang nodded and said, "Really."

Little Treasure Spirit’s eyes reignited with hope, but then it thought of something and suddenly teleported away from its original spot.

Qingbao completely forgot about the earlier incident where Little Treasure Spirit left it behind, happily wind-transforming away, following in Little Treasure Spirit’s direction.

"Where did the Nether Ring Monarch go?" Jaclyn snapped out of Little Treasure Spirit’s new form, asking.

Nether Ring Monarch, the evolved form of Night Ring King, and the final form of a Treasure-seeking Ghost.

Qiao Sang looked towards the villa, paused for a moment, and said, "It probably went to look in the mirror..."

Jaclyn recalled the scene of Little Treasure Spirit screaming while looking in the mirror and couldn’t help but inquire with a smile: "Is it unhappy with its new form?"

Qiao Sang paused again and said, "It might think it’s too dark."

Mikaela pondered and said, "Little Treasure Spirit is indeed a bit darker than other spectral-type pet beasts."

"But when the Nether Ring Monarch was the Night Ring King, wasn’t it originally black?" Jaclyn questioned.

If it was already black, why would it dislike being black?

"Little Treasure Spirit didn’t mind before, but it’s about to participate in the Master Challenge, so it became a bit dissatisfied with its skin color." Qiao Sang sighed and said, "Lately, it’s been using facial masks a lot."

"Hahaha..." Jaclyn couldn’t help but laugh after hearing that: "I’m sorry, I just find the Nether Ring Monarch too cute, hahaha..."

"Xun Xun!"

While they were laughing, a voice full of despair suddenly came from the direction of the villa.

Jaclyn’s laughter immediately stifled.

Qiao Sang cleared her throat and said, "We should head over."

"Okay." Jaclyn nodded.

Mikaela looked at Pen Jiami.

"Pengpeng."

Pen Jiami understood and its eyes glowed blue.

The next moment, it took everyone with it and disappeared from their original location.

When Qiao Sang appeared in the living room, she saw Little Treasure Spirit holding a mirror, rolling on the ground while wailing loudly:

"Xun Xun!"

"Xun Xun!"

"Xun Xun!"

"Qingqing..."

And Qingbao stood by, completely at a loss.

It had originally intended to come over to tease Little Treasure Spirit, but seeing Little Treasure Spirit crying so hard, it was left somewhat dumbfounded.

Seeing its Beast Tamer appear, it quickly looked over with pleading eyes.

Mikaela and Jaclyn also turned to Qiao Sang.

This scene surely wasn’t learned from the Jis Egg, right... Qiao Sang inexplicably envisioned a Jis Egg crying while rolling, quickly dismissing the thought as she asked:

"Evolution is a good thing, why are you crying like this?"

"Xun Xun!"

"Xun Xun!"

Little Treasure Spirit cried out loud.

It’s too dark! It’s too dark! Even under the light, it doesn’t look any whiter!

Qiao Sang wasn’t at all surprised by its response and quickly said, "Being dark is actually pretty good. Look, your darkness is so striking, it easily catches everyone’s attention."

"Xun Xun..."

Little Treasure Spirit’s sobbing quieted down a bit.

Qiao Sang maintained a straight face and continued, "Think about it, have you ever seen a pet beast as dark as you? Achieving a certain extreme within your own color palette makes you the most noticeable, and the darker you are, the more your golden eyes stand out, and your teeth appear whiter. Just now outside, when you smiled, I felt like your whole surrounding lit up, I couldn’t look away from you."

Mikaela: "..."

Jaclyn gave Qiao Sang a peculiar look.

Honestly, it was the first time she knew Qiao Sang could say things like this.

To agree or not to agree, something felt off, but somehow it also seemed spot on...

"Xun Xun..."

Little Treasure Spirit finally stopped rolling, lifted its head, whimpered, and called out.

Really...

"Of course." Qiao Sang nodded sincerely and said: "On Flame Sky Star, where daylight is long, during the daytime matches under the sun, you’ll be the most noticeable. Even in nighttime matches, just a smile, combined with your eye color, will surely attract everyone’s gaze."

She knew Little Treasure Spirit was truly concerned not about being too dark, but about not being noticed by everyone.

"Xun Xun?"

As Little Treasure Spirit listened to its Beast Tamer, its eyes gradually brightened. It stopped crying, floated up, wiped away the remaining tears, and called out, asking if it was all true.

From the tone, it was clear it already believed.

"If you don’t believe me, you can ask Gangbao and the others." Qiao Sang said.

"Steel Authority." Gangbao cooperatively called out.

"Ya Ya!" Yaobao also called out, asserting that their Beast Tamer would never lie to them.

Among the partners, only big bro Yaobao never lied, so Little Treasure Spirit instantly cheered up, its eyes brightened, and it grinned widely:

"Xun Xun~"

Even under the living room’s light, Little Treasure Spirit’s gleaming white teeth nearly dazzled Qiao Sang’s eyes.

"Qingqing..."

Qingbao sighed in relief on the side.

Finally, it stopped crying...

"Let’s start the inspection." Mikaela, seeing Little Treasure Spirit back to its normal state, looked at Jaclyn and said.

"Okay." Jaclyn nodded slightly.

She moved to the side to activate the equipment that Pen Jiami had transferred over with them.

"Xun Xun~"

Little Treasure Spirit floated over and cooperated well.

Quickly, Jaclyn began the inspection.

While Little Treasure Spirit was being examined, it occasionally glanced at the mirror, even baring its teeth to see its two rows of sparkling white teeth, showing a satisfied look.

Not bad, just as its Beast Tamer said, indeed very noticeable.

As time passed, Lubao took the lead and went outside to train, followed by Yaobao and others.

About an hour later, Jaclyn finished the inspection and said:

"The evolution is perfect, all the statistics are fine, and I’ll finish the energy pills and send them over as soon as possible."

"In the meantime, you can buy some of the energy pills meant for emperor-level spectral-type pet beasts on the market for now."

After speaking, a hint of regret flashed in her eyes.

Qiao Sang progressed too quickly, and so did the pet beasts raised by her. Unfortunately, the Little Treasure Spirit’s limit is as an emperor-level Nether Ring Monarch. If only Qiao Sang had a contract with a pet whose limit was emperor level, her competitiveness in future Interstellar Cups would be greater.

"Alright." Qiao Sang said, "Thanks, teacher."

"Xun Xun~"

Little Treasure Spirit cooperated with a call.

Thank you~

"It’s no trouble, it’s something I should do." Jaclyn smiled and said.

Mikaela turned and said, "Meimei, send them off."

Jaclyn, hearing this, seemed to know what was about to happen, quickly picked up the equipment.

Just as the equipment was lifted, Pen Jiami’s eyes glowed blue, taking her away from the spot.

"Xun Xun~"

Little Treasure Spirit called out, indicating it was going to train now.

"I’ll go with you," Qiao Sang said.

As she spoke, she was about to step outside.

"Wait." Mikaela suddenly said, "Qiao Sang, stay back, I have something to tell you."
