If you keep this up, we’ll call the police.\" Said one of the security guards, looking a bit uneasy, his hair a tousled mess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he arrived, he saw a beast lying asleep on the ground. He couldn’t identify its species, but its sheer size suggested it could be a high-level pet beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, the guard with messy hair wondered if he was still dreaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it really this hard to find work these days?A beast tamer with a high-level pet coming here to be a security guard...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Songhai's expression grew increasingly grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, he planned to keep a low profile so as not to alert Water Luriana, who was hiding in the residential area, so he took up the security job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But not only had he failed to locate Water Luriana, but now this incident had blown up as well. It seemed he wouldn’t be able to keep his job as a guard after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given how loud things had gotten, it was likely Water Luriana would already be aware of his presence. Finding the Water Snail was more important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought, Li Songhai decided not to hold back any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Steel-Clad Leg Monster! Wake up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two security guards were startled and quickly stepped back to a safer distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The messy-haired guard formed a hand seal, summoning his own pet beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steel-Clad Leg Monster...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, watching through the monitor, Qiao Sang was intrigued. She picked up her phone, typing out the beast’s name with one hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, she found the relevant information online.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Steel-Clad Leg Monster: With an unusual appearance, it is a dual-attribute high-level pet beast of Rock and Water types, commonly found near the coast in the Ancient Guwu Region.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A high-level pet beast…Qiao Sang had suspected it upon seeing the green star formation, so she wasn’t too surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked back up at the monitor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The security guard’s Sand Rat was certainly no match for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If things escalated, if the police got involved and traced back that this beast tamer from the Ancient Guwu Region had taken a job as a guard here...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, there would be no chance of securing a contract with Water Luriana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought, Qiao Sang placed Water Luriana down and said, \"Stay inside and don’t come out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lu lu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Water Luriana, seeing that the human in front of her seemed about to leave, showed a worried expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang grinned, guessing, \"Are you worried about me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lu lu...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Water Luriana stiffened, turning her head away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing its awkward demeanor, Qiao Sang didn’t press further and turned to open the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she reached for the doorknob, she noticed Little Treasure floating over with the Water Snail in his grasp, giving a heroic look toward the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Startled, Qiao Sang quickly released the doorknob and said, \"You don’t need to follow me. I’m just going out to reason with him, not to fight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xun?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure tilted his head in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reason with him? Would that really work?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang assured it, \"Don’t worry, he’s just looking for his lost pet. As soon as he summons the Water Snail back, it’ll all be over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xun...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure looked down at the Water Snail in his claw, eyes closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, this little creature was that important?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following his gaze downward, Qiao Sang suddenly remembered something. \"Once I go out, stop using Shadow Control to restrain the Water Snail.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xun xun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reassured, Qiao Sang opened the door and stepped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she left, Water Luriana turned to Little Treasure, pointing toward the monitor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lu lu... Lu lu...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wanted to see what was going on outside. Could it be lifted up?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having spent some time with Water Luriana, Little Treasure had formed a friendship with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remembering that he no longer needed to restrain the Water Snail, he flicked his claw, casually tossing the Water Snail aside, and floated over to Water Luriana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xun xun...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure spread his short arms, intending to lift Water Luriana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried, but couldn’t lift it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xun!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried again, this time with all his might, but Water Luriana still didn’t budge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xun xun!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unwilling to give up, he put all his strength into lifting, his whole face straining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Water Luriana only lifted about 0.01 centimeters before settling back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lu lu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Water Luriana looked on with a disdainful expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That human had lifted it easily, so why was this creature struggling?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xun xun...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure huffed in frustration,wasn’t it just because Water Luriana was too heavy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lu lu!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Water Luriana looked affronted and started arguing back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xun xun.\" Little Treasure raised a claw in astopgesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No need to worry; he had another solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lu lu…\" Water Luriana called out skeptically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure raised a short toe, which glowed blue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using telekinesis, he easily lifted Water Luriana up, bringing it to face the monitor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang walked outside, expecting to see the Steel-Clad Leg Monster destroying the Sand Rat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instead, she was greeted by the sight of the beast tamer from the Ancient Guwu Region with teary eyes, looking deeply aggrieved as he faced the two security guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I really lost my pet beast and can’t summon it back. Why won’t you believe me?” Li Songhai felt on the brink of madness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when he’d finally mustered the resolve to storm in without caring about the consequences, his Steel-Clad Leg Monster refused to wake up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah! Heaven and earth, why do you treat me so?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Li Songhai screamed internally, he looked over at the door to unit 1705, which had finally opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned instinctively and saw it was that girl who had refused to open the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl smiled gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This might all be a misunderstanding. I thought a stranger knocking at my door in the middle of the night was a threat, so I called for security. Then this man said he was a guard here, so maybe he really just lost his pet by accident.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Songhai froze, his expression stiffening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So… it was all a misunderstanding on his part?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang glanced at the Steel-Clad Leg Monster sleeping at the entrance and said, “Sir, could you recall this pet beast?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to her soft voice, Li Songhai suddenly felt a pang of guilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, she was just a kid; of course, she’d be scared if a stranger knocked on her door at night!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d have every reason to call for security, or even the police.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he hadn’t been patient at all and had said such harsh words to her. If he had been calm and communicated, there wouldn’t have been this mess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling guilty, Li Songhai immediately nodded and waved his hand, recalling the Steel-Clad Leg Monster to his beast tome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, the messy-haired guard said, “Regardless, knocking on your door at this hour was wrong. Don’t worry; we’ll handle this properly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he signaled his Sand Rat to be ready for action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ba ba…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sand Rat struggled to keep its eyes open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Songhai’s face fell, and he was about to summon his beast again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I could tell from his face that he wasn’t a bad person.” Qiao Sang interjected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sir, why don’t you try summoning your lost pet again? Sometimes I’ve seen beast tamers on TV whose summoning skills are hit-or-miss.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>TV shows are all fake…Li Songhai wanted to tell her that, but seeing the girl’s trusting expression, he held back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a wave, he said, “I’ve tried so many times already, and, wait, what?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1282,"2026-06-06T02:23:08.562Z",1,"novelbin.me","80732a1637d7375f8da3a9f653c9b45e073927e5bec15cbc670b678cba833b74","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-317","beast-taming-starting-from-zero-chapter-316",1023,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-starting-from-zero-cover.jpg"]
