Chapter 46
Beast taming, starting from zero point
Chapter 46: Chapter 43 She Forgot About It âWhat made you think of contracting with the Cotton Caterpillar?â Qiao Sang asked.
âI want to evolve it into a Paxue Butterfly; itâs super gorgeous.â Fang Sisi said as she took out her phone to search for a picture of the Paxue Butterfly to show Qiao Sang.
âI know, but to evolve it into a Paxue Butterfly you have to take it to the Beilun Region, right?â Qiao Sang said.
The Beilun Region was not exactly close to their Yuhua Region.
The Cotton Caterpillar currently had five known evolutionary forms, among which the Paxue Butterfly required a specific environment to evolve.
The Beilun Region was that requisite environment.
âNo need, Iâve specifically asked a Breeder about it, it only needs to stay in an environment of minus 40 degrees Celsius for an hour. When the time comes, Iâll hire an Ice-Type Pet Beast to create the environment,â Fang Sisi explained.
Seeing that Fang Sisi had thought everything through, Qiao Sang nodded and asked the obligatory post-exam question, âHow did you do on the test?â
Fang Sisi shrugged helplessly, â304 points. I can only go to a vocational high school now.â
Before Qiao Sang could think of words of comfort, Fang Sisi countered with a question, âHow about you?â
â359 points,â Qiao Sang replied.
âReally?â Fang Sisiâs eyes widened in disbelief.
âIâll show you the report card when it comes out,â Qiao Sang said with a smile.
Before Fang Sisi had the chance to respond, suddenly there was a stir within the class.
It turned out to be Qin Shou entering with his Laosi.
When Qiao Sang entered with her Fire-Toothed Dog, everyone had opted to observe from a distance, knowing full well that a Fire Attribute Beast was ill-tempered and it wasnât wise to get too close.
But Laosiâs temperament was a mystery to them, and just knowing that it was a rare foreign Pet Beast was enough to get them excited.
Looking over, Qiao Sang saw Qin Shou being tightly surrounded by a crowd in the classroom. It wasnât just Laosi that was hidden from view, even Qin Shou himself was blocked off solidly.
Guo Linze, who previously had spoken with such envy, also rushed over, âShou bro! Shou bro! Let me have a look!â
This commotion lasted for a good ten minutes until the homeroom teacher entered, and everyone finally calmed down and returned to their seats.
Only then did Qiao Sang get a clear view of Laosi.
About 80 centimeters tall, with two bull horns on its head, a pair of light red eyes edged with fin-shaped markings that resembled eyeshadow, it was trembling slightly, huddled in Qin Shouâs arms as if it had just been frightened by everyone.
The homeroom teacher was now distributing the report cards.
âWhereâs Xie Jiayi?â Qiao Sang inquired.
Xie Jiayi was Fang Sisiâs desk-mate, who last time had wanted everyone to try for admission to Haomu Beast Tamer High School together.
Fang Sisi glanced at the empty desk in front, then whispered, turning her head, âYou werenât here on the day of the brain awakening, so you donât know. Xie Jiayiâs brain awakening failed.â
Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment and did not speak.
freewÑbnoνel.com Each year, only 73% of the students succeeded in brain awakening during the exams, with 27% unable to awaken. This ratio, when distributed among all the schools, made it unsurprising that there were a few in their class who had not successfully awakened.
Both of Xie Jiayiâs parents were Beast Tamers, so logically, her chances of awakening should have been high. The failure must have been a heavy blow to her.
But reality is sometimes so capricious; like Dai Shushu, as a child of ordinary people, being able to awaken on her own was a success, while Xie Jiayi, the child of Beast Tamers, failed the brain awakening.
Soon the homeroom teacher called for Qiao Sang.
When she went up to get her report card, she tugged and found that it did not come free.
Qiao Sang looked up, puzzled, at the homeroom teacher.
He was all smiles, like a blooming chrysanthemum, his wig trembling with his laughter. Then he positioned her to face the students and announced loudly, âLet me tell you some news, our classmate Qiao Sang, through diligent study and hard work, did not disappoint! She has been accepted to Shengshui Middle School!â
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole class was in shock.
Diligent study? Hard work?
The same Qiao Sang who usually slept in class, failed exams, and had lately been absent from school?
They had never expected anything from Qiao Sang before.
And Shengshui Middle School?
Who?
That student whoâs always ranked third from the bottom in the class?!
Qiao Sang: â???â
...
Qingcheng Jiayuan.
When Qiao Sang returned home, she felt exhausted both mentally and physically.
Her mother was humming a tune in her own room.
Qiao Sang pushed open her motherâs bedroom door and saw clothes, bags, and shoes scattered all over the bed and floor.
âYouâre back, great, come and help me choose which outfit looks nice,â her mother said with a smile.
âMom, whatâs the occasion?â Qiao Sang got distracted from why she had come as she looked around the room.
âGo on with you, talking nonsense. Didnât you get into Shengshui Middle School? Iâve invited some people to go to Yu Jing Hotel for a meal the day after tomorrow. Which outfit do you think I should wear then?â her mother explained.
Qiao Sang: â...â
âMom, isnât this a bit too much?â
âHow is it too much? Itâs not every day we get to hold our heads high like this. Of course, we should have a banquet to celebrate. By the way, Iâm also going to hang a banner. What do you think would be best to write on it?â her mother asked as she tried on clothes in front of the mirror.
With no other choice, Qiao Sang felt she knew the answer but still sought confirmation, âDid you tell my homeroom teacher about me getting into Shengshui Middle School?â
âOf course I did. Donât I have to call and properly thank your homeroom teacher for getting your grades up in the final stage? Iâve also invited him over for the meal the day after tomorrow,â her mother admitted.
What could Qiao Sang say? Of course, as long as her mother was happy, that was good enough.
But her mother had been incredibly efficient; it felt like sheâd called everyone she knew...
For the following time, Qiao Sang stayed to help her mother choose clothes. After a lot of mixing and matching, they ultimately settled on a dress that matched the Fire-Toothed Dogâs fur color, thanks to its decisive swipe.
In the afternoon, while her mother went to get beautified, Qiao Sang took her report card and rode the subway to Shengshui Middle School to confirm her enrollment.
Getting into Shengshui Middle School was officially settled.
...
...
June 26th.
Yu Jing Hotel.
âQiao Sang, come here, this is your Aunt Pingping. She used to hold you when you were a child,â her mother, in a red dress with her hair done up exquisitely, beckoned Qiao Sang over.
âHello, Auntie,â Qiao Sang said politely.
Qiao Sang was dressed the same as usual, but the Fire-Toothed Dog she was holding had been spruced up a bit.
Beast taming, starting from zero point ï¤Chapter 45 - 42: Middle School Exam Results The Devil's Betrothed ï¤Chapter 772: Wedding Night Its flame-like fur had been carefully groomed, a black bow tie fitting for a gentleman was placed around its neck, and matching black sunglasses were coolly perched on its face, giving off a very dashing appearance.
âQiao Sang has grown up so much,â Aunt Pingping said to Qiao Sang, but her eyes kept being drawn to the Fire-Toothed Dog.
Before they had talked much more, Qiao Sang was already being pulled by her mother to another table, where she found someone she knew.
âHello, teacher,â Qiao Sang said with a smile.
âAh, Qiao Sang, from the very beginning I felt that you were cut out for academics. Of all the students Iâve taught over the years, you were the only one to awaken on your own. You did not disappoint and made it into the best high school in Hangkang,â the old teacher stood up and spoke cheerily.
Before Qiao Sang could reply, her mother butted in, âNonsense, itâs all thanks to your great teaching. She even got a zero not too long ago, and if you hadnât given up on her, put in the effort, how could she have scored so well on the exam?â
âNot at all, it was her own diligent studying that improved her scores,â the teacher modestly replied.
âYouâre too modest, teacher. Without your strict guidance, how could she have improved?â
âLetâs not talk like that. She took leave for almost two weeks, how could I have pushed her studies?â
The air suddenly grew still.
A few seconds later, her mother turned to Qiao Sang and asked, âTook leave... for two weeks?â
Qiao Sang: â...â
Damn, sheâd forgotten about that!
