Main Character:
Shen Yao
The modified truck stopped and started along the way; Shen Yao, with Xiao Guai and Xiao Shan, passed through one checkpoint after another, and the days were fairly peaceful.
However, the farther they got from the towns behind them, the more conflicts surrounded the truck; those wild pet beasts didn't care whether they were easy to deal with — they charged recklessly on sight, which led to people on the truck being injured constantly.
Shen Yao's importance was highlighted; even though she wore a bland expression and spoke little, she was praised wherever she went.
The truck kept moving forward; Shen Yao herself had not been without desperate situations, but first, her mindset was steady, and second, she had Xiao Guai and Xiao Shan, and finally she could rely on the System cheat and the treasures in her space; by the time the truck smoothly reached one new city after another, other people came and went constantly, yet only Shen Yao remained on the truck, safe and sound.
"Lord Shen, we've arrived at Chun City."
The truck stopped steadily at the Chun City entrance; not far away stood city walls dozens of meters high, surrounded by ordinary personnel and Beast Tamers constantly going in and out.
Shen Yao stepped down from the truck, smiling and nodding at the temporary teammates she had gotten along with for several months, "I'll be staying here for a while; you all take care of yourselves."
Chun City was once Shen Yao's home; returning again now actually gave her a sense of things remaining the same but people changed.
Slowly exhaling, Shen Yao queued to enter the city, then chose to take a bus back to the Shen family's old house.
The residential compound was still that same compound; ever since the Shen family moved away, it had stayed vacant.
During that time, the Shen couple still returned occasionally, staying a few days before going back to Yang City.
But most of the time, the rooms were in an unoccupied state; just because many people lived here, the rooms' lack of human presence didn't affect the whole compound.
Some of the people living here had already recognized Shen Yao; some felt unfamiliar with Shen Yao.
Smiling all the way back home, she used the key in her hand to open the door; Shen Yao first simply refreshed the fatigue on her own body, then took out her phone to contact her family far away in Yang City and the two children staying in Jing Shi.
All that could be said were beautiful words reporting good news but not bad; Shen Yao needed to recuperate in Chun City for a time, and matters of food, drink, and expenses all had to be settled.
Fortunately, the current Shen Yao had already achieved financial freedom; with a wave of her hand she bought and bought and bought; the huge appetites that Xiao Shan and Xiao Guai had developed from staying in the wild too long were also perfectly inherited by them.
Normally she just stayed in the room resting, occasionally going out to stroll the strange yet familiar Chun City, and not forgetting to run to the suburban Secret Realms or dense forests, until Xiao Shan and Xiao Guai clamored for a change of map; only then did Shen Yao board another modified truck, leave Yu Province, and head for other cities.
Still the same routine as before; because of the deterrence of the two Xuan Tier pet beasts, Shen Yao bore the setting of being the highest combat power in the whole vehicle; unless the wild pet beasts encountered on the road were ones others couldn't handle, Shen Yao would not make a move.
Just like that, moving on a fixed schedule every day, after about half a month, the truck arrived at a place called Pingyuan City, located within the scope of Jilin Province.
Jilin Province borders Yu Province; the surrounding dense forests and Secret Realms are several times those of Yu Province, and wild pet beasts abound; news of wild pet beast attacks appears year-round, and beast tides occur even more easily — it is one of the provinces with the most beast tides in history.
Shen Yao entered Pingyuan City with the truck; this is a county-level city; although its land area is large, it cannot compare to the prosperity of a true urban district, and not many ordinary people live in Pingyuan City, but there are quite a few Beast Tamers.
Including the truck she rode, its destination was Pingyuan City, heading to the Secret Realms outside Pingyuan City to hunt several specific wild pet beasts.
Shen Yao certainly didn't need to do this kind of work, but now that she wanted to go to the next new city, she needed to find new partners herself.
"Let's go check out the Beast Taming Center first."
Constantly rushing on the road was rather boring, and the information inside the Beast Taming Center was relatively comprehensive; Shen Yao moved her wrists, planning to rest in place for a period first, then choose the next new city as her upcoming destination.
Anyway, based on her current experience, the probability of something going wrong was extremely low; she could relax appropriately.
The Beast Taming Center is located in the eastern part of Pingyuan City; walking inside, one could still hear clamorous sounds.
Beast Tamers constantly came here to accept missions or post missions, even including content and information released by the Beast Taming Center.
Shen Yao stared at the tall mission board in front of her, randomly picked a few missions she was good at completing, and also obtained the Secret Realm information for the Jilin Province scope; only then did she slip-slop her way back to the hotel where she was staying.
Hua la la——
The paper atlas was spread flat on the table, paired with the information in her phone; Shen Yao carefully verified point by point, until the sky gradually darkened, then she put down her many busy tasks and took Xiao Guai and Xiao Shan downstairs to eat.
The slightly unfamiliar flavors made Shen Yao's eyes light up; Xiao Shan and Xiao Guai also liked the specialties here very much; one person and two beasts ate until their bellies were round and rolling, then left satisfied.
Washed up, groomed, lay on her side to sleep.
Shen Yao woke from a sleep, tidied herself, and headed to the outskirts of Pingyuan City.
Familiar towering trees and lively wild pet beasts; Xiao Shan and Xiao Guai coordinated seamlessly, and with just a slight move they dealt with those wild pet beasts.
She kept what needed to be handed in for missions to exchange for money or corresponding resources; the rest she all fed to Xiao Shan and Xiao Guai as daily food; Shen Yao stayed in Pingyuan City for several days, then headed to the next city not far from here.
Because there was no special purpose, besides needing to contact her family every time she arrived somewhere, Shen Yao spent the rest of her time improving her own and the two pet beasts' potential and combat skills.
Among them, Xiao Shan had already faintly touched the advancement threshold; but the difficulty of rising from Xuan Rank to Di Rank is quite high; even with Xiao Shan's special mutation trait, it could only keep accumulating energy, waiting for the timing.
"Xiao Shan, this Mist Cloud Stone is beneficial to you; hold it in your mouth but don't swallow it down, press……"
Shen Yao took out a deep brown stone the size of a washbasin, its surface densely covered with various colored patterns, and slowly pushed it next to Xiao Shan, signaling it to carefully place it in its mouth, for daily comprehension and improving attack skills, especially in exhaling and inhaling mist — it is said to be very effective.
Xiao Shan enlarged its body a few degrees, then opened its mouth and sucked the Mist Cloud Stone into its oral cavity, then even hummed and coquettishly acted spoiled toward Shen Yao.
Xiao Guai watched with hot eyes, meow meow meow indicating it also wanted such a stone.
Shen Yao: ……
"The Mist Cloud Stone has not the slightest use for you; here, eat these Qianzhu Fruits," Shen Yao passed a few tender green fruits to Xiao Guai's mouth; although the fruit's taste was somewhat dry and astringent, it is a rare resource for improving speed; Xiao Guai is a cat-type pet beast; stealth and concealment are common skills; eating more Qianzhu Fruits has no harm.
"Meow"
Xiao Guai was obviously somewhat dissatisfied; the tail behind it directly swung into a big wind wheel.
Xiao Shan not far away cracked its mouth in mockery, and was given two claws by Xiao Guai's meow meow; pity Xiao Shan's skin is rough and flesh thick — it's not afraid at all — making Xiao Guai's cat eyes stare round, raising its cat paw wanting to try leaping.
Shen Yao could only helplessly shake her head at this; she shouldn't favor one over the other; better let them resolve it themselves.
Xiao Shan and Xiao Guai are both Shen Yao's pet beasts; for this they have not fought less over Shen Yao's attention; fortunately Shen Yao has rich experience raising children, and has mastered the skill of holding a bowl of water level perfectly; so the two beasts' relationship is still very good; occasional squabbling helps both sides get closer.
Every city she reached, Shen Yao would accumulate some resources beneficial for the two beasts' digestion; during this period she also encountered Secret Realms opening; if the Secret Realm's internal danger was not great and resources rich, she would necessarily enter a wave; if it was not worth the loss, she would quickly distance herself and absolutely not hesitate.
Walking and stopping, wandering and roaming.
By the time Shen Yao had circled the several provinces and cities around Jing Shi, several years had passed; not to mention how the family far away in Yang City was living, the two children raised beside Li Suyan had both graduated university and entered society to struggle and tumble.
Xinxin and Mimi's Beast Taming talents shone brilliantly under Li Suyan's polishing; their contracted Dream beasts advanced successively, breaking many records, and also let them obtain Li Suyan's considerable investment.
Shen Yao went to Jing Shi to meet Xinxin and Mimi; the now much more mature children not only had outstanding looks, but extremely strong Beast Taming talent.
The three mothers and daughters mutually sized each other up, until Xinxin and Mimi spoke; the two each encircled one of Shen Yao's arms, acting spoiled and recounting the bits and pieces of these years' lives.
There were no few secret realms and dense forests outside Jing Shi; on ordinary days when they had nothing to do they would go out to train, and the initial pet beasts they had contracted possessed extremely strong talent, plus Li Suyan provided massive resources to nurture them, so ordinary people were simply not their opponents.
There is always a heaven beyond heaven, a person beyond people.
The two sisters were also not existences without any opponents; there were a few peers in Jing Shi who were equally outstanding, letting them feel self-satisfied while at the same time feeling doubly pressured.
"Practice hard, do not disappoint the family and Grandmother's expectations for you."
Even though Shen Yao was not by the two sisters' side, relying on the system she could understand things jiu jiu ba ba; knowing that Xinxin and Mimi's daily life was not easy, she felt heartache while also wanting them to grow rapidly, only then could they live more easily.
The time staying in Jing Shi was not much; Shen Yao specially made time to visit Li Suyan.
The two of them, because of Xinxin and Mimi, did not communicate much daily but it was precious in its longevity; moreover Cui Hengqi and Cui Mingyue were good-for-nothing, Li Suyan decided decisively, her plan to wholeheartedly cultivate Xinxin and Mimi did not conflict with Shen Yao's, therefore this pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got along well, and they had many opportunities for daily phone contact.
This time Shen Yao came over mainly to visit the two children plus handle company business; the content of mutual exchange with Li Suyan was not much, but upon leaving she still obtained resources gifted by Li Suyan.
Seeing this Shen Yao did not refuse, but used them on Xiao Shan and Xiao Guai.
Compared to Xiao Guai's somewhat distant advancement threshold, Xiao Shan undoubtedly had more opportunity.
And as long as a Xuan Tier pet beast advances smoothly, it becomes an Earth Tier pet beast; not only would the Beast Tamer themselves enjoy various preferential treatments provided by the Official side, the pet beast clan would also have corresponding benefits.
Xiao Shan was brought out from a secret realm by Shen Yao; besides it there were seven other Mountain Moving Turtle eggs; pity that besides Xiao Shan the rest were merely Mountain Moving Turtles, and there were no other miracles to support their advancement.
Although Yang Shi's secret realms were numerous they also had records; during this period Xiao Shan had returned to its clan several times, and had even communicated with that kind of Sea-Stepping Turtle.
Upon learning that as long as it smoothly became an Earth Tier pet beast it could bring its clan out of the narrow secret realm, Xiao Shan cultivated bitterly and strove to improve; barring accidents, in a few more years Xiao Shan could attempt advancement.
Once successful, the benefits would be self-evident.
"However one must not be reckless; solidifying the foundation is the basis of advancement."
"Hmph-chirp hmph-chirp"
Xiao Shan swayed its head and nodded; it was a very smart turtle, it would not act recklessly.
One person and two beasts stayed in Jing Shi for no more than a few months, then rode the Peng Bird back to Yang Shi.
This time Shen Yao chose to stay for a somewhat long time; not only were there many matters at the Yang Shi base camp, there was also the issue of Shen Father and Shen Mother's age.
Compared to Shen Father whose body was still robust (Beast Tamer), Shen Mother an ordinary person was somewhat unable to cope; considering that going far away again would neglect the Shen couple, Shen Yao put aside the idea of going out again recently, and instead spent time recuperating the couple's bodies until there would be no problems for a short time, then she set off leisurely to continue traveling and training.
Shen Cheng and Shen Ying each established families; the three siblings spoke less, fortunately the relationship was still as close as ever; the Shen couple were temporarily entrusted to them to care for, and Shen Yao could also be more at ease.
"Clearly there is something sought; having one's own family, one will unconsciously show bias."
"Inevitable; do I not have it?"
Knowing the system was speaking of Shen Cheng and Shen Ying, these two having children would more or less plan for their children; Shen Yao was a thick golden thigh; not to mention agreeing to care for her own biological parents Shen Father and Shen Mother, even if they weren't, those two would hate to not rush to cling on.
"As long as it does not violate the bottom line, all other thoughts, to me, count as normal."
Shen Yao narrowed her eyes; this trip out she had plans to help Xiao Shan advance.
Having polished the foundation for this long, Shen Yao did not feel Xiao Shan would fail; for now only a bit of external force to push was needed, still required going to a secret realm or wild dense forest to train.
This time Shen Yao chose to ride the Peng Bird to travel, the destination was not Yu Province's secret realm, but directly heading to distant Jin Province to train.
Jin Province Tiannan City
Located in the southern direction of Jin Province, the surroundings were all secret realms of extremely high danger; besides Beast Tamers, only wild pet beasts living here could come.
The reason Shen Yao chose Tiannan City to train was entirely because here was suitable for Xiao Shan's evolution; the pervasive mist shrouded Xiao Shan's figure, giving bystanders enormous deterrence.
Shen Yao and Xiao Guai fell far behind Xiao Shan, watching Xiao Shan act alone.
The mist here was naturally formed and had not dispersed for a long time; for Xiao Shan it was all very high absorption targets; Shen Yao just watched like this as Xiao Shan continuously swallowed clouds and exhaled mist; even though the big turtle shell was covered in water droplets, it did not affect Xiao Shan's movements.
Until a certain morning, a huge roar startled awake Shen Yao lying in the tent.
Lifting the tent flap and poking her head out from inside, not far away Xiao Guai had already restored its body size and puffed up its fur, meow meow meow staring at the pangran giant in the distance.
Shen Yao instantly understood; Xiao Shan had already finished preparations and could advance at any time.
