Having an unknown beast tamer always watching her house was unnerving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang wrestled with her thoughts. On one hand, she had a rare chance to form a contract with the water creature Water Luriana, whose rarity was on par with mythical beasts. On the other, her own safety was at stake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Water Luriana could be contracted, there was no doubt that any beast tamer who discovered it would stop at nothing to capture it by any means necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be manageable if the tamer of this water snail wasn’t too high-ranking. But if they were, there was a real risk she could have a deadlyaccident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If only she could contract with Water Luriana right now…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, she hadn’t unlocked the third page of her beast taming codex. Otherwise, she could just go for a forceful contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang’s gaze lingered on the unconscious water snail for a full minute before an idea struck her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, there was a 99.99% chance that this water snail was contracted by a beast tamer from Guwu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, if the beast tamer was from Guwu, they likely tracked Water Luriana from there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Water Luriana and they both hailed from Guwu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t make sense for Water Luriana to be hiding in the backyard pond all this time, only for a beast tamer from Guwu, thousands of miles away, to find it here so precisely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following this line of reasoning, she was nearly certain that this person was the very reason Water Luriana had fled from Guwu to Yuhua.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared with someone who had forced it to escape across such a distance, it was obvious which side Water Luriana would pick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding-dong…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the doorbell rang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang snapped out of her thoughts and glanced at her phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>3:44 a.m.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone ringing the doorbell at this hour?This was… a bit intense!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun Xun~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure heard the doorbell and, curious, wanted to float over to check.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang called it back in time, “Don’t go. The person outside is probably this water snail’s tamer. I don’t think they have good intentions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure’s eyes went wide, and he hurriedly floated over to the still-sleeping Yabao, nudging him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao didn’t respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun Xun!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure’s voice grew louder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yap…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yabao seemed to be in a sweet dream, his mouth curling in a grin as drool trickled down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun Xun!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure considered releasing the water snail and waking Yabao the same way he woke his own tamer by pinching their nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Qiao Sang said, “Go to the pond and find a way to wake Water Luriana. Tell it not to come out. Bring the water snail along and let Water Luriana take a look, but make sure the water snail doesn’t wake up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure tilted his head, confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The water snail’s tamer is probably after Water Luriana. Just go and warn it.” Qiao Sang explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun Xun!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure nodded in understanding and grabbed the water snail, floating towards the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding-dong… ding-dong…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The doorbell kept ringing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang put on her slippers and checked the monitor for the video doorbell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man in a black suit appeared on the screen. He was slightly overweight, with narrow eyes and thick lips. It was the security guard she’d felt uneasy about two days prior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seems my instincts weren’t wrong after all…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Songhai stood outside, growing anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His inability to recall the water snail troubled him greatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d already investigated the resident of Unit 1705 two days ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just a young girl, a minor who had recently moved in. Apparently, she had contracted two pets, probably the ones he saw that day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew a fair bit about Yuhua’s pet beasts, but he couldn’t identify the species of those two he’d seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dog-like beast with red and white fur looked fiery, with an intensekeep awayexpression, an unmistakable fire-type trait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other pet, gray with a yellow ring and a scarred face, was harder to classify.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be psychic, dark, or ghost-type.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Songhai ruled out ghost-type first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it looked ghostly, most beast tamers didn’t form ghost-type contracts in their first three slots, especially not a girl this young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, he dismissed the dark type. Students rarely contracted dark-types.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That left the psychic type, which was widely favored, especially by wealthy families. Their children often leaned toward psychic-type pets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on this analysis, he figured that gray beast with the ring was most likely psychic-type.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t understand what in this apartment was blocking him from summoning the water slug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The unknown was the scariest thing of all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his thoughts consumed by the water slug, he stopped worrying so much about Water Luriana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, if anything happened to a contracted pet, it could cause significant mental damage to the beast tamer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And no tamer could afford to neglect the brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If something really was inside, he’d have no choice but to summon his initial pet and risk exposure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Li Songhai’s mind raced with uneasy thoughts, the girl’s voice sounded from the intercom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who’s there?” Though Qiao Sang knew who it was, she deliberately spoke with a bit of irritation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one liked being woken up by the doorbell at this hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Songhai perked up and quickly answered, “Hello, I’m the security guard. We met two days ago. My pet accidentally wandered into your apartment. Could I come in to look for it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang replied pointedly, “Why don’t you just recall it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s the issue, I can’t summon it back.” Li Songhai explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can’t recall it?” Qiao Sang’s voice rose in mock disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you kidding? Since when can’t a pet be summoned back?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Songhai resisted the urge to barge in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m telling the truth, I swear.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she half-listened to him, Qiao Sang’s gaze drifted and noticed a small puddle of water on the floor. Her eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, you showed up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Little Treasure returned, holding the unconscious water snail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun Xun…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure floated over, shaking his head helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had managed to wake Water Luriana, but it had stubbornly refused to stay in the pond and insisted on coming out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s fine.” Qiao Sang reassured him, patting Little Treasure on the head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You did well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Water Luriana was naturally cautious and unlikely to trust easily. If she asked it to stay hidden, it would probably do the opposite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, here it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-----\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-----\u003C\u002Fp>",1110,"2026-06-06T02:23:08.562Z",1,"novelbin.me","73ed9915b9ed224da58efa0318f928d2e92f2a518926653a005e28400930a2bb","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-314","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-313",1023,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-starting-from-zero-cover.jpg"]
