But if anyone had the toughest training, it had to be Yabao.Maybe she should summon Yabao for a break too…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she hesitated, a young father nearby crouched down, showing his phone to his daughter, and asked softly, \"Do you think it looks like this Crowned Meow?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl, around five or six with a short bob, looked at the saved photo on the phone, then at the Crowned Meow ahead, and exclaimed loudly, \"It does!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young father quickly covered her mouth in a panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he confirmed no one was paying attention, he sighed in relief and then grinned with restrained excitement, \"It's a good thing you insisted on coming out tonight.

Let’s see if you like them.\" Qiao Sang said, inserting a straw into the milk tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yap yap!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao’s eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded, momentarily forgetting about his image as he half-sat on the ground in joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xun~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure treasure held up the bamboo stick from his finished hotdog, signaling his desire for more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s plenty for everyone.\" Qiao Sang said, handing treats to both of them with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a young voice chimed in. \"Big sister, is that Flame Hound yours?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang looked over to see a little girl, around five or six, staring up at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\" She replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl beamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can I pet it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang looked at Yabao, silently asking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yap.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao understood and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He says yes.\" Qiao Sang told the girl with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl gently extended her small, soft hand, patting Yabao with satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing the girl had no adults with her, Qiao Sang asked, \"Where are your parents?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My mom’s playing mahjong, and my dad’s off doing something important.\" The little girl replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang raised a brow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who brought you here, then?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My dad.\" The girl said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What important thing is your dad doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl pointed to a tall man arguing with another person not far off, explaining everything she knew in one go:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s my dad. I don’t know what he’s doing, but he said we’re going to be rich and that he’ll buy me a Flame Hound model when we get home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang stared at the direction the girl pointed, her mind racing as realization dawned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impossible. Absolutely impossible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s no way that Crowned Meow could be the lost one! She couldn't be this unlucky, missing out on 200,000 first, then a million right after…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unwilling to accept it, she listened carefully to the conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, their argument was loud, and people around had gone quiet to watch, leaving only the violin music as background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you crazy?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, you’re the crazy one!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why’d you have Desert Tail Fox attack me for no reason?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re a beast trafficker! You kidnapped someone else’s Crowned Meow and still act so arrogantly! I just called the police; you’re going to jail!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you insane?! Open your damn eyes! This is an Iron Paw Cat, not a Crowned Meow!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tie Tie…\" The Iron Paw Cat beside him nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young father stood frozen in shock at the sound of the Crowned Meow’s meow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long pause, he finally found his voice. \"You-you’re talking nonsense! An Iron Paw Cat doesn’t look like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ever heard of cosplay? You can’t even tell an Iron Paw Cat from a Crowned Meow, yet you call yourself a hero. What a joke!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it wasn’t a Crowned Meow after all. Qiao Sang’s spirits lifted, and a smile spread across her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iron Paw Cats and Crowned Meow looked similar enough that, with the right costume, they could be easily confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the day, subtle differences might be apparent, but at night, if you didn’t look closely, they’d be hard to distinguish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big sister, there’s a pet beast over there looking at us. Do you know it?\" The little girl suddenly asked, pointing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang looked in the direction and reflexively shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not… wait, no way!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A huge head, short limbs, a hooked tail, it might look like an Iron Paw Cat, but the bag around its neck was the exact one from last night’s Crowned Meow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl, seeing Qiao Sang’s stunned expression, called, \"Big sister?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jackpot…\" Qiao Sang murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little girl: ???\u003C\u002Fp>",1152,"2026-06-06T02:23:08.563Z",1,"novelbin.me","616b8c0418cefe27855b53be7a231fbd0552bcb38b9659809d4f413129ee0d31","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-190","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-188",1023,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-starting-from-zero-cover.jpg"]
