Chapter 568: Chapter 519: Such a Frightening Pet Beast⊠(Three-in-One)_2 Chapter 568: Chapter 519: Such a Frightening Pet Beast⊠(Three-in-One)_2 âSteel Steel.â
Little Steel Falcon nodded again.
âWhere is your own identity bracelet?â Qiao Sang asked, smiling, âDonât tell me you accidentally lost it.â
Could a Beast Tamer accidentally leave behind their own pet beast?
That was just outrageous.
Qiao Sang didnât believe it at all.
âSteel Steel.â
Little Steel Falcon shook its head; it didnât have an identity bracelet.
âXun Xun.â
Xiao Xunbao translated simultaneously.
Qiao Sang stared at the Little Steel Falcon, who looked sincere, indeed not as if it was lying.
âWhy donât you have an identity bracelet?â Qiao Sang asked.
âSteel Steel.â
Little Steel Falcon explained with a helpless tone.
Its Beast Tamer wasnât a Beast Tamer, so it didnât have an identity bracelet.
What did it mean by its Beast Tamer wasnât a Beast Tamer⊠With Xiao Xunbaoâs translation, Qiao Sang was taken aback, his brain struggling to make sense of it.
Suddenly, Qiao Sang remembered a segment about the Chao Su Star that his astronomy teacher had mentioned back on Blue Star:
âSome wild pet beasts are also of a gentle nature, and there have been instances of ordinary people living peacefully with wild pet beasts over long periods. Those who are not Beast Tamers yet manage to have pet beasts help them with things are called pseudo-Beast Tamers.â
Qiao Sang had an epiphany, âIs your Beast Tamer a pseudo-Beast Tamer?â
âSteel Steel.â
Little Steel Falcon nodded happily, relieved that the human finally understood.
That made sense; no wonder its Beast Tamer could accidentally leave it behind. A pseudo-Beast Tamer wasnât a real Beast Tamer, lacked the Beast Taming Codex, couldnât summon the pet beast back, and was fundamentally unable to sense the pet beastâs location⊠Qiao Sangâs gaze softened:
âEven so, stealing someone elseâs identity bracelet isnât a good thing to do.â
âSteel Steel.â
Little Steel Falcon nodded obediently, indicating it understood.
âSteel Steel.â
Then, it looked at the human before it and called out again.
âXun Xun~â
Xiao Xunbao looked toward its own Beast Tamer and translated in sync.
Youâre a good person~
Qiao Sang: ââŠâ
Here we go again, surely itâs going to ask for help finding its Beast Tamer now⊠Qiao Sang took his phone back from Xiao Xunbaoâs claws and said:
âLet me call the police for you; they should be able to help you find your Beast Tamer.â
âSteel Steel!â
âSteel Steel!â
Upon hearing this, Little Steel Falcon flapped its wings anxiously, indicating not to call the police.
This time there was no need for Xiao Xunbao to translate; from Little Steel Falconâs reaction and expression, Qiao Sang understood its meaning.
âWhy?â Qiao Sang asked, putting down his phone with a puzzled look.
âSteel SteelâŠâ
Little Steel Falcon suddenly felt some regret; it thought the human before it was a good person but not very smart.
âSteel Steel.â
âSteel Steel.â
Little Steel Falcon gestured as it explained.
It had stolen someone elseâs identity bracelet and come all the way from District 27; if the police were called, it would be caught.
Qiao Sangâs expression remained unchanged as he looked at the Little Steel Falcon:
âBut they could also help you find your Beast Tamer, right? If he explains things to the police and takes responsibility, he should be able to get you out of the police station.â
âSteel SteelâŠâ
Hearing this, the corner of Little Steel Falconâs mouth twitched, as if it wanted to laugh but held it back.
It showed a hesitant expression.
Then, as if it had some idea, Little Steel Falcon stretched out its wing and pulled out one of its feathers without hesitation.
âSteel Steel.â
Although it was a painful thing to do, Little Steel Falcon seemed as if it didnât feel the pain at all, extending the feather to him with a grin.
Qiao Sang was startled by Little Steel Falconâs actions: âWhat are you doing?â
âXun XunâŠâ
Xiao Xunbao translated while raising its claws to its mouth and making a pained expression, as if the feather had been plucked from its own body.
âYouâre saying to sell this feather for money and not to call the police?â Qiao Sang asked, baffled by the translation.
âSteel Steel.â
Little Steel Falcon nodded.
My goodness, even a pet beast has mastered the art of human social grace⊠Qiao Sang was inwardly astonished, finding himself speechless for a moment.
âSteel Steel!â
Seeing that the human hadnât spoken, Little Steel Falcon thought it was being stingy and pulled out another feather from its body, then offered it.
Qiao Sang: â!!!â
âSteel Steel!â
Little Steel Falcon gritted its teeth and continued to pluck.
âStop plucking!â Qiao Sang quickly intervened, âAnymore and youâll be bald!â
âSteel Steel.â
Little Steel Falcon obediently lowered its wing, then spread out the feathers it had plucked in front of Qiao Sang.
Qiao Sang: ââŠâ
This pet beast was truly harsh on itself⊠Looking down at the feathers, Qiao Sang felt a mix of helplessness and admiration.
