Beastmaster: I'm really just a forest ranger

Chapter 226 The Number One Beast Tamer in Qin Province!
"The champion of the first Dafeng Cup has been crowned!"

"He is Chen Yuan, the consultant from the Beast Tamer Association of Baokun City. He has never lost a competition since he started participating. All the contestants regard him as the ultimate demon king and are all dedicated to defeating one of his pets."

"Even in the final competition, Xia Heng tried his best but was unable to defeat one of Consultant Chen's pets."

"The Ink Tree Spirit was defeated by the Wind-Gathering Hound, and the Raging Wave Crocodile was defeated by the Flame Cloud Falcon."

“Every match was incredibly exciting, but there can only be one winner in the end.”

"Let's congratulate Chen Yuan on winning the Dafeng Cup!"

The guide's passionate voice echoed in his ears, and he was surrounded by enthusiastic cheers from all directions. Chen Yuan looked ahead at Xia Heng.

Xia Heng lowered his head slightly, trying to hide the emotions on his face.

But soon, he raised the corners of his mouth, took the initiative to extend his right hand to Chen Yuan, and said with a carefree and cheerful smile: "Advisor Chen, I am completely convinced."

"But I lost this time, and I won't do it next time."

"I'll wait," Chen Yuan said calmly.

Xia Heng exhaled, then reached out and pushed Chen Yuan's back: "Now, it's your turn to enjoy the championship moment."

Chen Yuan was pushed forward, but he turned around to look at Xia Heng, who smiled and waved. Then, without looking back, he put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the exit.

The searchlights all fell on Chen Yuan, while in a corner no one knew, Xia Heng's figure disappeared into the shadows.

Suddenly, he stopped and looked up at the high platform, where the gleaming championship trophy was displayed.

A photographer, quick as a flash, captured this starkly contrasting scene with the click of the shutter: a triumphant Chen Yuan stood under bright lights, surrounded by cheers from all directions; a forlorn Xia Heng hid in the shadows, gazing longingly at the championship trophy.

this moment,
Laughter and tears, joy and regret, shouts and screams—countless complex emotions intertwined in the Fengcheng Arena, where tens of thousands of people gathered.

Chen Yuan walked slowly towards the high platform where the championship trophy was displayed. The majestic Cola walked on the left, sometimes circling around Chen Yuan, sometimes looking up to respond to the enthusiastic audience. Its tail was like a blooming dandelion, and every sway was filled with the joy of victory.

Although I couldn't turn the tide, without me, my owner wouldn't have won the championship!

This proves that I am an indispensable part of Coca-Cola!

"Chirp."

Sparks flew above Chen Yuan's head as he moved closer to the championship trophy on the high platform. His eyes then flickered, as if he was considering whether a burst of flame could melt the glittering golden object.

Under the watchful eyes of numerous cameras, Chen Yuan stretched out his hands and forcefully lifted the championship trophy, while golden fireworks rained down around him, as if he were bathed in a golden rain.

"Consultant Chen is awesome!!!"

"Chen Yuan, champion of the Dafeng Cup!"

"From the start of the competition to the end, he completely dominated, not a single pet was defeated. Consultant Chen's dominance is terrifying."

"This is truly a game-changer; it'll be very difficult for the next contestants to surpass it."

"Truly the number one beast tamer in Qin Province!"

Excitedly, Cola darted around, quickly getting covered in confetti. It shook itself vigorously, shaking off the confetti, then grinned and charged at Chen Yuan: "Awooo!"

Master, I want to touch it too!
Chen Yuan squatted down and let the little ones touch the championship trophy that symbolized honor one by one.

The camera focused, and with a click, captured Chen Yuan and the little ones' championship moment.

Chen Yuan placed the championship trophy on the ground in front of him, grinned, and habitually made the same pose as all the men of Donghuang when taking photos—the peace sign; Cola had one paw on Chen Yuan's shoulder and the other paw pressing down on the trophy.
The twin flower concubines had somehow ended up sitting on the trophy. Although they were in their nighttime form, seeing everyone's smiles, they forced themselves to put on an unnatural smile as well.

Spark folded its wings and stood beside Chen Yuan. It originally wanted to pretend to be calm and look at the camera, but Chen Yuan reached out and pulled it over, its wings pressed tightly against Chen Yuan's arm.

Many viewers were moved by the heartwarming scene before them.

"It's so nice to meet these little guys." Yang Yue looked down at the Cloud Fox in her arms and sighed.

"Hmm." Li Qing nodded gently. Two small snakes poked their heads out of the backpack behind her, looking at the three pets on the field with envious eyes.

"I give up." Liu Xin sighed and lowered his head as if accepting his fate. "To lose to the champion, I am completely convinced."

Yuan Xiong patted his shoulder with his rough, large hand and said earnestly, "Being tormented by the twin concubines at least gives you a sense of participation, which is much better than being killed in one blow."

Liu Xin was about to nod in agreement when he suddenly paused, "Why must we choose a particular way to lose? Can't we fight to a standstill with Advisor Chen and then lose?"

Yuan Xiong shrugged: "Who could do that?"

Zhuang Jianbai stared silently ahead, the enthusiastic cheers rising and falling around him, but his eyes were only on Chen Yuan's figure.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhuang Jianbai took a deep breath and suddenly stood up: "Teacher, let's go to Shanghai next week."

"Have you made up your mind?" Jiang Yuntao asked in a low voice. "That place is a completely new and unfamiliar environment for you, with more challenges and risks. Perhaps you will fade into obscurity once you get there."

"I've made up my mind." Zhuang Jianbai's gaze was firm. "I need more challenges, otherwise I won't be able to see Consultant Chen's figure for long."

"I want to catch up with his pace of progress as much as possible."

After Chen Yuan won the championship, Nie Li edited a celebration text message, clicked send, and then left with two teammates.

"Captain, why don't you congratulate Chen Gu in person?" Wild Boar asked, puzzled.

Nie Li said in a cold tone, "We've missed too much work; it's time to go back."

"Oh," the wild boar nodded, then muttered, "Why come back now of all times? The captain must be scared."

Nie Li cast a death stare at him.

The wild boar whistled and looked around: "The sun, no, the moon is really round today."

Zhang Hao's voice became hoarse from shouting continuously, but he still stayed in place and gave each fan club member a small red envelope.

"Everyone gets a share, so everyone can share in the joy." Zhang Hao waved a handful of red envelopes in his hand.

"Waaaaah, after being a fan for so many years, this is the first time I've ever received a red envelope."

Upon opening the red envelope, one finds not only brand-new banknotes but also a card with a photo and detailed address of Good Luck Farmhouse, and a prominent message at the end: "Good Luck Farmhouse welcomes you."

"Disciple, have you eaten enough?" Huo Hong had anticipated Chen Yuan's victory, and he was more concerned about whether Amei had eaten enough.

"I'm seven-tenths full." Amei patted her stomach, a big smile spreading across her face.

"Let's go then." Huo Hong stood up.

Amei tugged at Huo Hong's sleeve, raising her puzzled face: "Master, where are we going?"

"There are more opportunities to make money in Sichuan Province."

"Then will I be able to eat my fill?" Amei blinked.

"can!"

Shi Gang tilted his head up forty degrees, revealing his muscular arms as he grinned, took a selfie, edited the caption, and posted it on social media: "Congratulations to Consultant Chen on winning the Dafeng Cup championship. By the way, I'll shamelessly say that I personally sent him to the finals, so I deserve some credit for this championship."

Comments sprang up like mushrooms after rain.

"No problem! This championship is indeed inseparable from Consultant Shi."

"I feel that Consultant Chen's strength is so strong that it's unfair, unbelievable."

"Qin Province's No. 1 Beast Tamer truly deserves the title!"

"Actually, if Consultant Shi's two pets can break through, they might become Consultant Chen's biggest competitor, after all, you used to go toe-to-toe with Consultant Chen."

Xuanhe Village
The moment Chen Yuan won the championship, the entire village erupted in cheers.

A dazzling display of fireworks lit up the night sky, piercing the darkness and breaking the silence of the mountains. "Sigh! Why did he have to be from this village!" A villager from another village slapped his thigh and sighed.

The village chief raised his head, put his hands behind his back, and deliberately walked back and forth in front of the people from other villages, speaking in a strong voice: "It's too late, you don't need to rush back from so far away."

"Stay in our village tonight. We've built quite a few houses now, and there are plenty of empty rooms."

“It just so happens that our villages haven’t had a proper exchange in a long time. Take a look at the development and changes in our village recently, and offer some valuable suggestions.”

People from other villages: "."

After settling the group of outsiders, the wild pets posed a problem for the once-arrogant village chief.

After the competition, the two giant bears left with many wild pets, but several little ones, for some reason, refused to leave and stayed by the child's side without moving.

Song Guohao pondered for a moment and said, "Anyway, these pets are all quite docile, so keeping them in the village isn't a bad thing."

"Village chief, the higher authorities are now vigorously promoting the development concept of harmonious coexistence between humans and animals. Isn't this the best way to put this concept into practice?"

Runrun Duck lay on a recliner, using its wings to rock the chair up and down, its laughter growing increasingly wild: "Quack quack!"

The boss and Cola are getting more and more powerful, which means I can finally relax and live a peaceful life from now on.

And
When the time comes, I can just flap my wings and get those pets that are trying to curry favor with Big Sister and Cola to catch spirit fish for me!
As she thought about it, Runrun Duck felt that a happy and wonderful life was beckoning to her.

But before that, let's get the little ones back to the farm safely.

"Quack~"

The duck flapped its wings, signaling the little ones to follow it home.

Moments after the competition ended, the previous excitement faded into the dark night, and all the villagers gradually returned home.

Chen Weiyi led the way with Hanlie Niu at the front, his flashlight illuminating the path to the farm.

Duckling followed closely behind, trying to stay close to Chen Weiyi while occasionally looking back to see if any of its companions had fallen behind.

"Quack quack!"

I'm exhausted!

I must never grant the farmer's request again!

“Ga ga ga ga~”

It was a bit cold on the way home, with a biting wind blowing from time to time. The Fallen Horned Beast silently walked to the far right and used its huge body to shield its companions from the cold wind.

Suddenly, the flashlight ran out of power. Just as Chen Weiyi was about to take out his phone, he saw the Electric Flying Cat fly into the air, its body bursting with bright, crackling electric light, tearing through the dark night once again.

The little ones immediately looked at him with admiration.

"Electricity!"

Electric Flying Cat proudly raised its head, but then inexplicably thought of a snow-white figure, and felt saddened.

If it could see this scene, would it look at itself with new respect?

The Wood Spirit Mouse family hopped and skipped along, their little paws tightly clutching the lollipops given to them by Little Zhao.

This is the most delicious thing they've ever eaten!
It is more delicious than mountain spring water and fruit from trees.

"Quack quack~"

Seeing that the little ones didn't need her care, Runrun Duck breathed a long sigh of relief and unconsciously began humming her own duck song, her wings rhythmically beating, the song echoing in the night.

after awhile,

A faint light shone in his eyes as Tie Touwa strode out of the gate, his face serious, and he nodded slightly.

You're back.

The farm is safe.

At the same moment,

Chen Yuan finally escaped the pursuit of a group of enthusiastic fans and reporters and returned to the hotel.

Carefully placing the championship trophy on the table, Chen Yuan said sternly to Kele, "Don't run around in the room."

"Ow!"

Cola understood its owner's unspoken meaning and nodded repeatedly. Then it turned its head and stared intently at the gleaming trophy, its mouth gradually widening into a grin.

Hehehe, this is my trophy.

"Let's go out for dinner." Chen Yuan put on his hat and sunglasses and called the three little ones out.

He had previously promised a big meal after the competition, and now it's time to fulfill that promise.

"Ow"

Cola gazed longingly at the championship trophy, when a thought suddenly popped into her head.

They're all gone. What if the trophy gets stolen?
Thinking of this, Cola's eyes widened, and it stretched out its paws to hug the trophy tightly.

I want to protect the trophy!

With a blank expression, Chen Yuan grabbed the tail of the cola bottle and pulled it out, calmly saying, "Stop making a scene, there's a big pork knuckle tonight."

"Ow!"

Cola released the trophy and nudged Chen Yuan with its head.

go go go go!

After a long time,
"cheers!"

As the crisp sound rang out, the glasses clinked together, reflecting smiling faces.

As December approaches, the temperature in Fengcheng drops even further, with a biting wind blowing continuously outside, while the atmosphere inside is lively and warm.

"Master, aren't we going to Sichuan Province?" Amei lowered her head and swallowed.

Huo Hong brought over a large pork knuckle and placed it on her plate, smiling, "Do you want some?"

"Eat!" Amélie said swiftly, burying her head in the plate.

The round table was laden with a dazzling array of dishes, their rich aromas so enticing that just one glance was enough to make one's mouth water.

Chen Yuan invited all the friends who had come to watch the game and cheer him on over the past few days.

Huo Hong and Amei, the master and apprentice; Yang Yue and Li Qing, the sisters; Lin Hongwei and Gong Jia, the couple; and of course, the single Shi Gang.

Spark was focused on the food on its plate; Cola was surrounded by several pets, passionately recounting its journey to victory; Twin Flower Concubine was also surrounded by several fawning pets, but it simply gazed quietly at Chen Yuan's back.

Chen Yuan raised his glass: "Thank you all for your support during this time."

Huo Hong smiled slightly: "I should thank Consultant Chen for treating us."

Amei's cheeks were bulging, she held a large pork knuckle in her left hand and a cup of milk tea in her right, her voice muffled: "@##￥@￥"

Huo Hong translated, "Advisor Chen, Amei is also congratulating you."

A burst of laughter erupted, and Zhang Hao, who had offered to treat everyone, raised his glass with a bright smile: "Friends, Xuanhe Village will be hosting its first Qinling Cycling Competition next month. You're welcome to come and join us!"
