Gangbao raised its wings and mercilessly swept away the petals flying over its head.
"Qingqing!"
Qingbao clearly liked it here a lot, and in its excitement, it appeared directly.
Not far away, a child excitedly shouted, "Mom, itās Qing Qingni!"
Everyoneās eyes turned this way immediately.
Qingbao reacted swiftly, disappearing like the wind.
Qiao Sang called out without changing her expression, "Yaobao."
"Yah!"
Yaobao understood what its Beast Tamer meant and slowly grew in size.
Qiao Sang flipped onto its back and departed together with Teacher Mikaela.
The onlookers hesitated, wanting to follow but not daring to.
Some people just saw the color of the star array, indicating itās a B-level Beastmaster.
...
On the way to the Beast Taming Center, Mikaela suddenly spoke:
"Want to go for a stroll?"
Qiao Sang was taken aback, "I havenāt taken a task yet."
Mikaela caught a pink petal in her hand and said slowly, "Itās fine to take the task tomorrow. Sometimes you need to rest during the journey."
She added after a pause:
"Youāve already completed seven tasks; only four remain. Thereās no need to rush."
"Xun Xun!"
Little Treasure Hunter nodded repeatedly, expressing agreement.
"Qingqing~"
Qingbao appeared, looking over expectantly.
Qiao Sang checked the time on her phone and suggested, "Itāll only take about half an hour to reach the Beast Taming Center. Itāll take about ten minutes to take a task. How about we stroll around after Iām done?"
"Xun Xun!"
Little Treasure Hunter nodded repeatedly.
Sounds good!
"Qingqing~"
Qingbao turned into a gentle breeze brushing softly against Qiao Sangās face.
Mikaela fell silent.
She felt very complicated in her heart at that moment.
Logically, this time schedule was impeccable. She would have planned it this way herself before, but now she felt very complex, especially after Qiao Sang mentioned feeling weak a few hours ago.
She wasnāt sure if Qiao Sang was serious or just being modest.
But one thing was certain: at this rate, her student wouldnāt need her to qualify for the Interstellar Cup...
Qiao Sang saw that Teacher Mikaela wasnāt speaking and thought she was dissatisfied with her suggestion, saying, "Teacher, if you want to stroll, we can go now."
"No need, go take the task first, and we can stroll later," Mikaela said.
Then she thought of something and asked, "Have you decided what to choose in the points exchange?"
"No." Qiao Sang shook her head. "Everything looks good, but nothing is urgently needed right now. I thought Iād wait until I need something specific or until the points exchange brings in new items to see."
Such a planning and worry-free child... Mikaela looked up at the sky, suddenly feeling a bit melancholy.
...
Half an hour later.
Beast Taming Center.
Third-floor assessment office.
What kind of genius is this... An old man with graying hair, looking about seventy years old, gazed at the documents for a few seconds, then looked up with eyes reminiscent of seeing a legendary pet beast, and remarked:
"Youāre the youngest C-rank Beast Tamer Iāve met in my lifetime."
No, Iām about to become a B-level Beastmaster... Qiao Sang thought to herself.
"There arenāt too many tasks left here," the old man said as he viewed the tasks.
After about a minute, he looked up:
"Recently, the flowers on the ground of Fresh Cluster Street have not been absorbed. Go check on the situation and solve this problem."
Qiao Sang hesitated, "Arenāt flowers on the ground meant to be cleaned up?"
The old man chuckled, "Thatās elsewhere. In Huatiang City, flowers may drop at any time, and this canāt be cleaned that easily. Under the ground, thereās a batch of Flavor-Eating Ants that come up to absorb fallen flowers, which are nutritious for them."
I see... Qiao Sang asked, "Are those Flavor-Eating Ants wild pet beasts?"
"Of course not," the old man showed an expression of āhow could you think thatā and explained, "That batch of Flavor-Eating Ants belongs to the Pet Beast Base or some private breeding stores, in cooperation with the government."
Qiao Sang picked up on the key point and asked:
"Which Pet Beast Base or breeding store is responsible for the Flavor-Eating Ants on Fresh Cluster Street?"
"Youāll have to investigate that yourself," the old man said, adhering to protocol. "Iām just responsible for issuing the tasks here."
"I understand," Qiao Sang said, taking back her ID card and Beast Taming Badge.
