Protagonist:

Shen Yao

Qian Ye Lin was named for its many Chiba Trees, where tall trees several meters in diameter grew, laden with Chiba Fruits that pet beasts loved to eat and that helped them advance in rank.

Chiba Fruits were not large, only the size of an infant's fist, entirely blue-green with beautiful starlight, making them even more striking at night.

Shen Yao had not walked long before she came upon these Chiba Trees laden with fruit.

The trees were tens of meters tall with no visible top, so Shen Yao could only entrust the work to Xiao Guai, while Xiao Shan roared at the top of his lungs, his whole body growing even larger.

The size ratio between Shen Yao and Xiao Shan was like the difference between an ant and an elephant.

Xiao Guai, using the Stealth Skill, used its agile claws to knock the Chiba Fruits off the trees one by one.

Instantly, a pattering of blue-green fine rain fell downward, and when it reached a height level with Xiao Shan, it suddenly slowed and drifted slowly to the ground.

This was Xiao Shan's own deceleration skill, doing its best to ensure the Chiba Fruits were not damaged.

Shen Yao unzipped the backpack she had brought, took out a small but very capacious pouch, then bent down to pick up the Chiba Fruits and put them inside.

Occasionally Xiao Shan would roar, raising his rather sturdy limbs to block the risk of missing fruit for his own Owner, after all Xiao Shan was still a baby only a few months old, and his skills were not yet proficient.

Soon, bag after bag of Chiba Fruits was packed, Shen Yao fully absorbed in the task, about to call Xiao Guai to slow down temporarily, but no sooner said than done, Xiao Guai, who was in Stealth, suddenly released a warning signal, and the originally quiet Qian Ye Lin became lively.

"Squeak squeak squeak"

"Squeak squeak"

Bang bang bang—

Chiba Fruits falling at extreme speed were like small high-speed cannonballs, about to smash into Shen Yao, blocked by a suddenly risen white Transparent Shield; after the Transparent Shield broke, they fell again onto Xiao Shan's Turtle Shell, and the force rebounded by the Turtle Shell rushed toward All Directions.

"Roar roar"

Xiao Shan raised his not-large head, his bean-sized eyes fixed on the space above the Tree Trunk.

It was very obvious that the attack and cries just now had come from Shen Yao's upper left.

Xiao Guai leaped and had already jumped onto the opposite Tree Branch to act. Shen Yao, seeing this, dragged her packed pouch and hid under Xiao Shan's Abdomen.

The upcoming battle was not one Shen Yao could participate in; Xiao Guai led the attack, Xiao Shan assisted and cooperated, the two beasts roaring and calling at each other, and soon they pressed down the chaos that had just arisen.

Crackle boom—

Unlike the sound of Chiba Fruits falling, this sound was even heavier.

Shen Yao Blinked, looking at the pet beast corpses thrown to the ground, and only after confirming there was no Danger around did she poke her head out from Xiao Shan's Abdomen.

Silver-Thread Short-Tailed Monkeys that fed on forest fruits, were good at attacking, and had violent tempers.

Mortal Tier Pet Beasts, mature ones no taller than a person; because their appearance was pleasing and very popular with humans, although wild Silver-Thread Short-Tailed Monkeys were aggressive, their young still had a market.

Shen Yao's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly contacted Xiao Guai through the star array in her mind, asking it to search for Silver-Thread Short-Tailed Monkey young around them.

Luck was also good; after Xiao Guai jumped down from the tree, Shen Yao indeed saw two Silver-Thread Short-Tailed Monkey young no larger than an arm in Xiao Guai's mouth.

Xiao Shan by her side had already returned to his original size once there were no Threats around, and at this moment he stood by Shen Yao's side, stepping carefully.

Shen Yao raised her hand and stroked the two Silver-Thread Short-Tailed Monkey young that had just opened their eyes, thinking to herself that they indeed had excellent market appeal; even with bad tempers, they were still very popular in the market.

Temporarily placing the Silver-Thread Short-Tailed Monkey young to One Side, and putting away the remaining Chiba Fruits into the pouch, Shen Yao took advantage of the situation to find a place with a water source, simply cleaned the already dead Silver-Thread Short-Tailed Monkey, and left it for Xiao Guai and Xiao Shan to eat.

Strangely enough, the Mountain-Moving Turtle with special mutations had changed from vegetarian to omnivorous; although only a few months old, it was not picky at all, basically eating whatever was given, with an excellent appetite, even causing Xiao Guai to become able to eat heartily.

Shen Yao picked out several Chiba Fruits and stuffed them into the arms of the two Silver-Thread Short-Tailed Monkey young, then pointed to the Chiba Trees around them, continuing to have Xiao Guai and Xiao Shan hurry with their work.

The purpose of their trip was for the Pet Beast Specialty Store that was about to open; besides Chiba Fruits, Qian Ye Lin also had Double-color Fragrant Cloud Fruits, Flowing Crystal Milk Fragrance Fruits, Three-color Cloud Leaf Slices, Lingling Thousand-Feather Birds, and other extremely popular specialty products; with only three days, she worried there would not be enough.

…………

"Xiao Guai, catch"

"Meow"

With an already opened pouch in its mouth, Xiao Guai climbed onto the Bird's Nest and raked out Bird Eggs.

While the adult birds had not yet returned, Xiao Guai only took one or two from each nest, and in a short while filled an entire pouch.

With a swoosh, it jumped down from the tree; Xiao Guai came lightly to Shen Yao's side and rubbed against her, not forgetting to meow and boast to her that these were all its Loot.

Shen Yao smiled and patted Xiao Guai's head; indeed a helper she valued, truly promising.

Carrying a pouch full of Bird Eggs, she left the Lingling Thousand-Feather Bird nesting area; that very night Shen Yao directly treated Xiao Guai to a hearty meal as a Reward.

Of course, she did not forget Xiao Shan, who stayed at the Original Place to protect the other Loot; the two beasts ate fragrant, hot roasted meat, causing the Silver-Thread Short-Tailed Monkey young to watch frequently.

Early morning, Shen Yao woke from her Sleeping Bag, propped herself up to wash and tidy herself.

Today was the last day in Qian Ye Lin; in the evening she would leave Qian Ye Lin and return to the City Center.

Shen Yao did not plan to go deep into Qian Ye Lin's Interior, but return along the Route they came by; on the Road, whatever she encountered could still be packed and taken away.

She woke Xiao Guai and Xiao Shan to eat Energy Rations, then tied up all the big and small cloth bags and placed them all on Xiao Shan's Turtle Shell; Shen Yao led the two beasts, Carefully walking back from the Shan Lu.

"Ahead is the Lingfeng Grass Thicket; there must be Lingfeng Beast herds appearing within. Xiao Guai"

"Meow"

Xiao Guai stepped forward, activated a Skill, and quickly flashed into the Lingfeng Grass Thicket that made a ringing sound.

Xiao Shan had already raised a thin Transparent Shield, Carefully enveloping Shen Yao and himself; because it had been used Frequently these past few days, the Transparent Shield's sturdiness steadily rose, showing that if pet beasts wanted to improve Combat Power, training in the wild was still the most Stable and Reliable.

"Yo yo"

From inside the Lingfeng Grass Thicket drifted the usual calls of Lingfeng Beasts; with Xiao Guai's absolute suppression, soon, pet beasts only the size of a palm, looking very much like bells, ran out and scattered in all directions.

Xiao Guai revealed its cat head, meowed twice at Shen Yao not far away, then disappeared into the Lingfeng Grass Thicket.

Shen Yao patted Xiao Shan's sturdy limbs; person and beast closely followed behind.

As expected, Shen Yao smoothly harvested a pouch full of Lingfeng Beast Eggs only the size of a thumb; although they could not sell for much, they could serve as gifts for the store's opening.

After all, the Bellwind Beast has not a shred of lethality; its greatest function is simply to emit a wind-chime-like sound, so even ordinary people can raise it — it is officially recognized by the Alliance as one of the top ten most useless Mortal Tier Pet Beasts (the Iron Hammer Ant is among them as well).

After collecting the Bellwind Beast eggs, she also pulled some Bellwind Grass to serve as feed for the Bellwind Beasts, and Shen Yao continued toward the edge of Qian Ye Lin with the two beasts.

Whether it was because it was the last day, Shen Yao did not encounter many good things, but after sorting through them, they could still fetch a price.

"Blood Crystal Fruit" increases a pet beast's advancement speed — a fruit that is better than nothing.

The "Green Gourd Seed" grows into Green Gourds, which are the favorite of herbivorous pet beasts, similar to catnip.

"Sugar Heart Grass" is sweet and delicious, a post-meal snack for carnivorous or omnivorous pet beasts.

"..."

Shen Yao walked and gathered like this all the way; the pouches on Xiao Shan's turtle shell grew more and more numerous, until, when the person and two beasts appeared at the entrance of Qian Ye Lin bathed in the evening light, they instantly drew the gazes of everyone around.

The Feathered Sparrow Bird Beast Tamer contacted in advance hurriedly stepped forward.

No choice — a round trip costs quite a bit of money; making a living isn't easy.

Shen Yao paid briskly, then left steadily with Xiao Guai and Xiao Shan.

During this, a small episode occurred: a Beast Tamer took a fancy to the two Silver Thread Short-Tailed Monkey cubs Shen Yao had brought out, letting her seize the opportunity to run a wave of advertising, pulling hard for the future store opening's popularity.

However, relying solely on the harvest from Qian Ye Lin is not enough; Shen Yao still needs to make a few more trips to the Dense Forest recently, striving to make the store's goods more abundant, so she can hit it big with reputation in one shot.

The Feathered Sparrow Bird stopped at the residence doorway; after Shen Yao paid this trip's fee and agreed on the next departure time and place, the two parties waved goodbye with smiles.

As early as when Shen Yao landed, Father Shen and Mother Shen had brought Shen Cheng and Shen Ying to help; the pouches on Xiao Shan temporarily stored the few rooms freed up behind the residence, and the two Silver Thread Short-Tailed Monkey cubs were also handed to Father Shen and Mother Shen to care for.

"These past two days your father and I have contacted many individual Beast Tamers; if negotiations go smoothly, the store's future supply won't need you to busy yourself alone."

Mother Shen held the well-fed, just-woken Mimi; Shen Yao held the quiet, well-behaved Xinxin in her arms.

Having gone out for a few days and not seeing her own cub, she felt a bit of a strange longing.

With an "Mm," Shen Yao instructed that in the store's early stage they could earn a little less; as long as the reputation is smoothly established, they definitely won't lose out in the future.

"Lose what? With those three Mountain-Moving Turtle Eggs, many people have been asking about the store even before it opens," though most are just joining the fun; only those who can actually afford it will hand over money when the time comes.

Mother Shen is still clicking her tongue in amazement even now — those are Yellow Rank Mountain-Moving Turtle eggs; just how many does her own daughter have in hand? How could she take out so many?

Shen Yao:... They really are the last three eggs, and she still has to thank Li Suyan's external reputation; otherwise those people wouldn't be waiting for the opening to buy, but would come knocking to coerce a sale, staging a forced buy-and-sell drama.

In any world, any era, this kind of "voluntary" thing happens.

Shen Yao can only say she is relatively lucky, having found a backer through calculated preparation; although this backer doesn't look like much, at least for the next few years it can block the vast majority of covetous gazes.

As for what to do further down the road? By that time Shen Yao should have grown up smoothly long ago, and can be her own backer.

After staying in Qian Ye Lin for three days, Shen Yao, upon returning home, rested only one day before hurriedly running off to the Dense Forest to work again.

This time Shen Yao chose a place called the Ling Feng Shan Mai.

Its danger level is on par with Qian Ye Lin, but because Ling Feng Shan Mai is farther than Qian Ye Lin, larger in area, and truly has Xuan Tier Pet Beasts inside, not many Beast Tamers go to Ling Feng Shan Mai.

Treading the faint morning light, the Feathered Sparrow Bird flew for an hour and landed steadily at the entrance of Ling Feng Shan Mai; its Beast Tamer wished Shen Yao all the best as usual, the two agreed to meet at the original place in one week, and the relevant price was straightforwardly doubled.

Raising her head to watch the Feathered Sparrow Bird depart, Shen Yao patted Xiao Guai's cat head, focusing her gaze on the mountains stretching endlessly before her — the Ling Feng Shan Mai.

"Let's go."

"Meow."

"Gujiguji."

One person and two beasts lifted their steps into this mountain range; in a blink they vanished from sight.

In Shen Yao's imagination, Ling Feng Shan Mai should be gloomy and deep, with towering trees and jungle shadows everywhere, and wild pet beasts popping up from time to time — a place ordinary Beast Tamers dare not set foot in.

In reality, the situation at Ling Feng Shan Mai is far better than imagined; not only is the sunlight above bright and beautiful, even the Mortal Tier Pet Beasts popping up around are cute and carry no aggressiveness at all.

This is Ling Feng Shan Mai.

Shen Yao sighed, then had Xiao Guai and Xiao Shan walk on either side of her, so that if danger arrived she could dodge in time.

No help for it — Beast Tamers are just this squishy; Shen Yao doesn't want it either.

After walking roughly half a day, Shen Yao saw a tree full of bright yellow fruits — these are Tangli Fruits, having nothing to do with Sugar Heart Grass, purely beloved by all beasts for their texture and appearance.

Waiting for what? Pulling out the bags she brought, Shen Yao became busy all over.

Xiao Guai used its four claws to knock down the Tangli Fruits hanging on the branches; Xiao Shan ensured the Tangli Fruits landed steadily without damage; Shen Yao bent down, lowered her head, picked up the fruits and put them into bags for preservation — the person and two beasts cooperated with tacit understanding; by the time they finished gathering all the Tangli Fruits here, two hours had passed, and they had to change to a place to rest.

"Go forward, find a place with a water source and open space to set up camp; conveniently we can also hunt wild pet beasts — Xiao Guai and Xiao Shan are both big eaters; the energy rations brought in alone can't fill their stomachs."

Xiao Guai ran ahead to scout the path; Xiao Shan walked beside Shen Yao responsible for defense; step by step they arrived at a lush, grassy spot and stopped; Shen Yao took out the tent and set it up.

Xiao Guai continued standing guard; Xiao Shan lay honestly to one side without moving.

Not until the tent was set up did Shen Yao take out energy rations to feed the two pet beasts; only then did a faint, barely perceptible rustle come from the surrounding forest.

Shen Yao looked up, patted Xiao Guai's head to make it learn patience, "No impulsiveness."

Still unknown what pet beast it is; moreover, the internal situation of Ling Feng Shan Mai is fraught with crises — this trip is only for gathering, not to measure high and low with the owner of this place.

You must know the Xuan Tier Pet Beast of Ling Feng Shan Mai is a Di Sha Chi Yue Teng about to break through; its entire vine root system envelops roughly one-third of Ling Feng Shan Mai — who knows whether their current position is the Di Sha Chi Yue Teng's territory; better not be impulsive.
