Chapter 526: Beast Taming World Passerby A (4)

At noon, the other three did not return; only the mother and daughter, plus Xiao Guai, ate.

Opening its mouth with a wu-ao cry, Xiao Guai buried itself in a full basin of energy rations, eating its sour-sweet and delicious lunch in big mouthfuls.

Shen Yao's mother casually picked up a piece of stir-fried fire-feather chicken meat with chopsticks and handed it to Shen Yao's bowl, sighing, "Xiao Guai is well raised."

Smooth fur, firm muscles, healthy and lively—a Yellow Tier Pet Beast is far better than many Mortal Tier Pet Beasts.

Shen Yao took a mouthful of rice and put it in her mouth; the stir-fried fire-feather chicken meat was crispy and chewy, and with the seasoning's flavor, she could eat two bowls.

"Xiao Guai's infancy is about to end, and then it enters the development period," raising it well now means it will be easier and smoother when it advances, after all, many pet beast abilities are learned and mastered at levels two and three; infancy is equivalent to human preschool children, mainly playing and nourishing the body.

Shen Yao's mother nodded, "You need to pay more attention during this period. Little Yue was smaller than its kin because it didn't eat well; even though your father and I have been supplementing its nutrition these years, there hasn't been much progress."

Shen Yao looked helpless upon hearing this, "Mom, Little Yue's body shape is already fixed; you can't let it binge eat anymore."

Yue Xia Dogs are famous for their sleek figures and sharp fangs; now it's almost fat as a ball. Not only is there no beauty, but it can't even run. Those who know think the Shen couple dotes on it; those who don't think they're raising a Fat Ball Dog.

Her parents are quite capable, changing the Yue Xia Dog into a new species all by themselves.

Shen Yao's mother:...

Shen Yao's mother raised her hand and patted Shen Yao in annoyance, "Nonsense, your father and I know what we're doing."

Little Yue goes to and from work with your father every day; there's no danger not going to the wild, it's just greedy and ate a bit too much. Our family isn't short of that."

Shen Yao:... Indeed not short, but you can't spoil the pet beast like this. Scientific and reasonable feeding is the standard.

However, Shen Yao couldn't say anything about this, after all, Little Yue was her father's pet beast, and even more so her parents' matchmaker. Except for suffering some hardship when young, after the Shen couple's work stabilized, Little Yue's quality of life was better than people's.

It's probably because the annual pet beast checkups are all very healthy; otherwise, her parents wouldn't not control Little Yue's food intake. Shen Yao had attended university for two consecutive years, and in terms of raising pet beasts, she leaned more toward rationality. When she was at home, she was also the main force feeding Little Yue.

The food in the bowl was quickly finished. Shen Yao served herself a bowl of soup, "School starts in a few days. I plan to go back and start preparing for Xiao Guai's advancement. I might not come back this year."

At least half a year will be spent outside. As for the resources Xiao Guai needs, it's definitely easier to obtain the closer to the central city.

Shen Yao's mother hummed in agreement upon hearing this, did not object, but after asking about the money in Shen Yao's hand, directly transferred a sum via her phone. "If it's not enough, tell me anytime. The family doesn't need to worry too much. Sheng Sheng and Ying Ying have us; even pet beast expenses can be taken out."

Shen Yao's mother was not biased; the three children were treated equally. Back then, Shen Yao choosing the Xuanbai Swift Shadow Cat was picking up a bargain, and Shen Cheng and Shen Ying both knew.

So when they also become Beast Tamers, Shen Yao's mother will similarly take out a sum of money to buy a pet beast. Whether they can pick up a bargain depends entirely on Shen Cheng and Shen Ying's ideas. In this regard, the Shen couple won't interfere too much, after all, everyone has their own path to walk.

"Mom, if the family has difficulties, you must tell me," Shen Yao said that after she returns to school, completes her studies and practice, she will immediately enter the formal internship stage.

Beast Taming is a three-year system; the last year is not at school. By then she can definitely support herself and earn money on the side. The family has put in a lot of effort these years. As long as it doesn't affect herself, giving back to the family is a very normal thing.

Shen Yao's mother smiled and pursed her lips, nodding amidst Xiao Guai's meow meow meow sounds. "Alright."

But if there really is something, the Shen parents will discuss it first. Parents will subconsciously consider their children, but don't care much about themselves.

After the mother and daughter finished lunch, they each returned to their rooms to rest.

Shen Yao loved sleeping. When she opened her eyes again, she saw Xiao Guai hugging a toy ball and chewing on it. Shen Yao's mother had already gotten up and left to go to the afternoon shift.

"Xiao Guai"

"Meow"

Shen Yao scratched her hair and played around with Xiao Guai in the room for a while until cat hair was flying everywhere, then let Xiao Guai go lie in the living room.

With nothing to do left and right, she simply started packing the clothes and supplies to take back to school.

Thinking that Yang City's winter temperatures were low and it loved to snow heavily, Shen Yao put away a few thick down jackets. Thinking of the fire feathers she had put into her space, she simply took out two bags and placed them in the miscellaneous goods room.

The family didn't lack clothes for winter, but things used for a long time definitely needed replacing. Fortunately, there were plenty of fire feathers in her space. Shen Yao rummaged here and piled there. After finishing the things in her hands, the room door was just pushed open by someone.

"Eldest Sister" "Eldest Sister"

It was Shen Cheng and Shen Ying, a boy and a girl in high school uniforms entering the door, their whole bodies exuding the breath of youth.

"You're back. There are snacks in the fridge; help yourselves," Shen Yao raised her head to greet them, then returned to the room to do the final packing.

Shen Cheng and Shen Ying had already dropped their schoolbags and ran to the living room to play with Xiao Guai.

Well, one-sided cat petting and rubbing. Watching them, they looked like severe addicts.

"Meow"

Xiao Guai was somewhat helpless and irritable. Its originally relaxed and leisurely tail swished with great might, but unfortunately it couldn't do anything to these two little brats.

Owner's younger brother and sister. They treated it well and even fed it small dried fish.

Forget it, forget it.

Xiao Guai simply lay flat on the living room floor in a big character shape. Shen Cheng and Shen Ying were like two worshipping mortals, half-lying and half-kneeling around Xiao Guai, constantly rubbing their heads against it, making suspicious sounds with their mouths.

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao's mouth corner twitched. When she came out, she saw this kind of strange scene. Fortunately, she had long been prepared.

"Don't you two have homework to write?" Although high school in this era wasn't that strict, all the subjects that should be offered were not missing.

Even if Shen Cheng and Shen Ying didn't become Beast Tamers, they could still study and go to university, then engage in pet beast-related work after graduation.

Shen Cheng spoke up to defend himself, "The teacher didn't assign much homework. We can do it later."

Shen Ying nodded repeatedly, "The teacher said our probability of becoming Beast Tamers is very high, so we can work harder on Beast Taming."

The class they studied in was quite special. The children inside all had parents or relatives who were Beast Tamers.

The Official had once announced related news. The inheritance of Beast Tamers with direct bloodline was several times higher than ordinary people.

The Shen Family had produced two Beast Tamers in a row. Shen Cheng and Shen Ying's probability of becoming Beast Tamers was extremely high, so what the teacher said couldn't be considered problematic.

However, "You still need to study hard. It's not a one hundred percent possibility. You must leave some leeway for yourself."

Shen Cheng and Shen Ying nodded obediently, then played with Xiao Guai one-sidedly for a while before reluctantly returning to their rooms to do homework.

"Meow"

Finally they left. So tired.

Xiao Guai stuck out its pink little tongue, making Shen Yao have to rub its cat head, and she also gave it two fist-sized fruits as snacks.

She sent some pastries and flavored beverages to Shen Cheng and Shen Ying. After seeing them finish drinking, Shen Yao left with peace of mind.

"Host, this counts as cheating, right."

The System acted deep and profound for only a few days before restoring its chattering talkative nature.

"Cheat what? That's nothing more than ordinary culture fluid used in the previous world to cultivate spiritual bodies."

The spiritual threshold of this world bears a curious resemblance to the awakened spiritual power of the last century.

After discovering this, Shen Yao drank a tube of culture fluid every day; the specific effects were not yet obvious, but it was definitely beneficial to her own spirit.

Shen Cheng and Shen Ying had not undergone the ritual, so they shouldn't drink too much culture fluid; after she left, she would also leave some for them to occasionally supplement, anyway this kind of thing was very common, drugs waving related flags outside were a dime a dozen; one must know that any industry related to survival was a highly profitable industry.

Shen Yao said earnestly, "If Cheng Cheng and the others can all become Beast Tamers, not only will our family's life get better and better, but it will also positively promote our mission."

"What does that mean?" the System asked curiously.

"It means that the special status of Beast Tamers here will promote the development of family forces."

Afraid the System wouldn't understand, Shen Yao patiently explained. Analyzing the careless words Shiling had once said, Chun City's resources had decreased because there were no Di Rank Beast Tamers, which directly affected everyone in Chun City.

What if Chun City had a Di Rank Beast Tamer at this time? Not only would Chun City's safety be greatly improved, but while resources increased, more Beast Tamers with potential could also be cultivated.

Although Blue Star had now changed to an alliance system, official forces still took the lion's share.

Shen Yao did not intend to establish her own mountain and call herself king and hegemon. She just thought of a better way to complete the mission while also increasing mission rewards.

"Climbing up alone would be difficult; what if it were blood relatives?"

Not only parents and younger siblings, but also bloodline offspring; she had resources in her space, so the children's father didn't matter, and she could even have a single birth.

After all, a child of two people had to consider the other half, but a child of one person could be cultivated with all efforts.

System:...

Goodness, the Host's thoughts were getting wilder, but somehow it suited its appetite.

It must be that it had been influenced by the Host, but its mission rewards were indeed getting richer, including a major breakthrough in the previous world.

Wow wow wow

The System made all sorts of chattering exclamations in the sea of consciousness, obviously unaware that Shen Yao had already tossed it to the back of her mind.

Who made it so the System couldn't run away; in Shen Yao's view, this was her own cheat, pull it out to use when useful, and put it aside to ignore when not useful.

When night fell, the Shen couple and the ball-shaped Yue Xia Dog returned.

Shen Yao smiled and greeted the two people and one beast, and raised her hand to pat the Yue Xia Dog's body; the crescents on both sides of its body were stretched round and plump, showing that the Shen couple truly hadn't shortchanged their pet beast in terms of food.

"Xiao Yue, long time no see."

"Woof woof woof"

The Yue Xia Dog's eyes curved, its mouth corners turned up, and its furry body was as soft and comfortable as imagined.

Shen's father had already learned from Shen's mother that Xiao Guai was about to enter the development period, and handed the subsidy he had just received over to Shen Yao.

Shen Yao:...

"Dad"

"Keep it, the family isn't in urgent need of money."

Neither the Shen couple nor Shen Cheng and Shen Ying had any urgent need for money for the time being.

It was Shen Yao; the expenses of raising a pet beast were not small, and besides, Xiao Guai was a rare Yellow Tier Pet Beast; it was always better to prepare more than to be insufficient.

"Eat first, we can talk about anything after we finish eating," Shen Yao had already simmered the dishes before the Shen couple returned; now that all five family members were present, they just needed to serve the dishes.

As for Xiao Yue and Xiao Guai, they honestly went to the basin to eat their energy rations.

"The beast tide matter has been decided, though it's a mini-scale range; the government will take action, and they will be sold afterward."

Shen's father, a desk worker, definitely wouldn't go to the front line; at most he could use his internal identity to buy some meat for Xiao Yue's extra meal.

Shen's mother patted her chest, "That's good; one can only live a life if it's not dangerous."

Otherwise, with Chun City's conditions, they really couldn't withstand those medium and large beast tides.

"Dad, our teacher said that if there's an opportunity, we can have more contact with wild pet beasts, and maybe we can choose a suitable contract target in advance."

Shen Cheng quickly finished his food, wiped his mouth corner, and started babbling.

"A high school student who has nothing, what if something happens in the wilderness?" Shen's mother glared at her clueless son, while warning Shen Ying not to learn from Shen Cheng, "Your teacher's words are aimed at those classmates with good family backgrounds and confidence," the implication was not to count themselves in, and to honestly wait until the senior year of high school and turning eighteen before talking about it.

Shen Cheng and Shen Ying:...

What does "failing before achieving success" mean? This is it!

The two children glanced at each other and lowered their heads to eat; Shen Cheng, having finished a bowl, resentfully served himself a full big bowl.

Shen Yao couldn't help but laugh out loud, telling them not to worry too much about the contract issue, "As long as you can become Beast Tamers, I'll figure something out regarding pet beasts."

They were all family; after Shen Yao formed a clear cultivation intention in her heart, Shen Cheng and Shen Ying automatically fell into her circle.

Shen's mother worried that Shen Yao would be overburdened, "Your father and I will buy for them; it's the same amount of money, whatever you have, they will also have."

Shen Cheng and Shen Ying also nodded, telling the eldest sister not to worry about them; Beast Taming University was not an ordinary school, every year many people entered secret realms or dense forests and lost their traces or died.

Shen Cheng and Shen Ying expressed that they might not have the fate to be Beast Tamers; what pet beast or not, being an ordinary person wasn't bad either.

Shen's father raised his hand and patted Shen Cheng and Shen Ying's shoulders, telling them to hurry up and eat.

Shen Yao just smiled about this, not continuing to say what she was thinking in her heart.

At night during rest, Xiao Guai lay beside Shen Yao, meowing softly.

"Next time I come back I can stay for a longer period; Xiao Guai needs to grow up to better protect us," Shen Yao was reluctant to leave home, and Xiao Guai was also reluctant; the emotions of one person and one beast both looked somewhat low.

It's a pity that parting is a required course of life, unavoidable at any time.

When the departure bell rang, Shen Yao carried her packed luggage and Xiao Guai, rushing to the airport located in Chun City Center.

Yang City was tens of thousands of li away from Chun City; during the journey, they had to pass through many dense forest mountain ranges; to arrive safely, they could only rely on specially modified 'planes'.
