Chapter 217 -207: Meditation (Two in One)

It was not easy to get a little closer to Shuilu Yana only to receive the dreadful news that it was old and nearing its end of days—Qiao Sang’s heart was incredibly complicated at this moment.

No wonder Shuilu Yana seemed to see through human nature, always on guard, and unwilling to get close to humans.

Spending its last year of life being chased from the Ancient Mist Region to the Yuhua Region, this desolate twilight of its existence—anything less than a transformation to the dark side would be an understatement.

With this understanding, Qiao Sang couldn’t help but squat down to pat Shuilu Yana’s head and said gravely, “You’ve had it rough.”

Shuilu Yana’s first instinct was to turn its head away, but seeing the look in the human’s eyes, it stopped.

“Lulu...” Feeling the touch on its head, Shuilu Yana’s ears twitched unwittingly, and it reluctantly called out.

Thinking of the grueling training it would have to endure daily, just like the Flame Listening Dog and Treasure-seeking Ghost, it did find it quite tough.

But training hadn’t even started yet, and here this human was, thinking it had it rough and patting its head—it felt strange...

“From now on, you’ll come with me when I go out,” Qiao Sang said, looking at Shuilu Yana.

“Lulu?” Shuilu Yana looked puzzled.

Although it was young, it knew that Pet Beasts without a contract discovered in human areas were supposed to be captured.

“Although that man yesterday might get fired, there are many ways to get in. If I go out, it’s not safe for you to be here alone,” said Qiao Sang, who didn’t understand Shuilu Yana’s words, thinking it was asking why they should go together.

“Lulu...”

Shuilu Yana nodded, thinking that what the human in front of it said made a lot of sense.

Relieved to see Shuilu Yana nodding, Qiao Sang patted its head and said, “Once we’re out, just stay in my bag. Our school has a fountain, so you can stay there when we get to school. After training in the afternoon, I’ll bring you back home.”

“Lulu.”

Shuilu Yana nodded, thinking it was a good plan.

It thought the human in front of it was quite considerate; this way, it would indeed be very difficult for outsiders to notice it.

Although Qiao Sang and Shuilu Yana were talking at cross purposes, luckily, they came to an agreement about going out together every day.

...

Half an hour later.

“Ya...”

“Lulu...”

In the living room, Yaobao and Shuilu Yana stared intently at each other.

Xiao Xunbao was drinking milk on the side, glancing at Yaobao and then at Shuilu Yana.

Qiao Sang, however, had a headache. He wasn’t sure if it was natural enmity between Yaobao and Shuilu Yana or if it was simply that Water-type Pet Beasts and Fire Attribute Beasts were incompatible. Even if they hadn’t continued to battle fiercely upon sight, as they did at the beginning, they still seemed ready to fight at any moment.

“Yaobao, come here, I have something to tell you,” Qiao Sang finally said.

“Ya.” Yaobao closed its bared teeth and walked over obediently.

Qiao Sang took Yaobao into the room, closed the door, and spoke earnestly, “From now on, try to be nicer to Shuilu Yana.”

“Ya Ya?”

Yaobao looked perplexed, not understanding why—it recalled how that creature had squirted water at it every night while it was asleep.

“I didn’t want to say this,” Qiao Sang sighed heavily and continued gravely, “but Shuilu Yana won’t live much longer.”

“Ya...”

Yaobao’s eyes widened instantly, shock evident on its face.

“Ya...”

Yaobao’s mood fell, its mouth turned down, and it looked guilty—so it had been bullying an elderly Pet Beast all this time...

“It’s okay,” Qiao Sang consoled, patting Yaobao’s head. “Although it’s old, it’s still strong. If it hadn’t told us, we definitely wouldn’t have known its age.”

“Ya...”

Yaobao felt self-reproachful; though the words were comforting, the thought of Shuilu Yana not having long to live and having been the subject of its bullying made it feel terrible.

Qiao Sang looked earnestly at Yaobao and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll find a way to make Shuilu Yana evolve, and then it will be fine.”

“Ya Ya?”

Yaobao blinked its moist eyes at its Beast Tamer.

Really?

“Really,” Qiao Sang nodded seriously.

The evolution of Shuilu Yana was indeed very difficult; to fall in love with a Pet Beast and then experience heartbreak in its twilight years was tantamount to an old person finally finding a late-life romance only to be widowed shortly after—it was damned hard.
