Beast Taming Begins with the Inner Circle of Pets

Chapter 158 Keep the good stuff within the family

"Thank you so much for your help. Please rest here for a bit, and I'll get everyone a glass of water."

The salesman surnamed Yao gave Lin Manman a grateful look, not only because he thanked her for helping him up when he was pushed down.

More importantly, thanks to Lin Manman's reminder, they avoided paying a large sum of money; otherwise, given his position as a sales clerk, it would have been difficult for him to escape unscathed from this incident.

Lin Manman said it was nothing to worry about, as they had already thanked her many times today.

When the saleswoman surnamed Yao went to pour them water, Wu Jingyu leaned close to her and asked in a low voice.

"Sister Manman, does that giant...capybara you've got your eye on have any special abilities?"

Lin Manman smiled mysteriously, "I'll demonstrate it to you when we get back."

Wu Jingyu pursed his lips. "Then why aren't we going back yet?"

Lin Manman originally went to eat melons, but now she was kicked out halfway through. What are they still doing here?

Lin Manman gave another mysterious smile. "You'll find out soon enough."

Just as Wu Jingyu was about to ask more questions, the salesman surnamed Yao came back in with tea.

"Please have some tea first, don't rush. I just received a message from the manager, she said she'll be here to see you two ladies in ten minutes at most."

Lin Manman was still curious about how the manager planned to deal with the two scoundrels, but since he clearly didn't want them to know, she could only suppress her strong curiosity.

Ten minutes later, the female manager appeared in the reception room right on time.

After the person appeared, Lin Manman didn't waste any words and went straight to asking about the price of the two-winged saber-toothed tiger.

The manager, who identified himself as surnamed Tong, said that because of Lin Manman's help today, he was willing to give her a 20% discount on the original price.

Lin Manman successfully acquired the two-winged saber-toothed tiger for 68 million and returned home satisfied with Wu Jingyu.

Because the saber-toothed tigers were too large, Manager Tong specially arranged for them to be sent back.

However, Liang Hongren refused. He only wanted the Land Rover to kill the Two-Winged Saber-Toothed Tiger and told Manager Tong that someone would return the Land Rover the next day.

When they returned to the Meng residence, Lin's mother was already resting, while Lin Ruochen and Meng Wenbin were cultivating. Hearing the commotion, they curiously came out to see what kind of spirit beast she had bought.

When Meng Wenbin and Lin Ruochen saw the two-winged saber-toothed tiger, they exchanged a glance.

Lin Ruochen asked, "Manman, did you choose this spirit beast for me?"

Lin Manman, who was about to show off to the two of them, froze on the spot. She suddenly realized that she had been so excited that she seemed to have overlooked the most important issue.

The two-winged saber-toothed tiger is a level four spirit beast, while she is only a level three beast tamer!

She was careless!! She was about to burst into tears right there and then.

But after thinking about it, it's good to keep the benefits within the family and let my own brother benefit too.

"Yes...it was chosen for you." Lin Manman said bitterly, and everyone present could feel the resentment in her tone.

The only one completely bewildered was Wu Jingyu. She thought Lin Manman definitely couldn't contract the two-winged saber-toothed tiger, and assumed Lin Manman wanted to try out the beast fighting culture of the capital.

And why are they saying now that it was chosen for Sister Manman's brother? She doesn't understand what they're talking about at all!

Meng Wenbin circled the two-winged saber-toothed tiger, examining it closely. "This two-winged saber-toothed tiger looks quite good. Do you see any special abilities in it?"

He was well aware of how discerning his young apprentice's taste had become.

The two-winged saber-toothed tiger seemed to sense the thoughts of everyone present, spreading its wings and lowering its body in a gesture of resistance.

While Lin Manman was contracting her little Kapibal, she praised the two-winged saber-toothed tiger from head to toe.

Sensing Lin Manman's covetousness, the saber-toothed tiger arrogantly raised its chin, its eyes filled with disdain.

Meng Wenbin stroked his chin. "It's really good. Ruochen, try forming a contract with it. However, the spirit beasts in the secret realm will be very resistant, so be careful."

Lin Manman, with the newly contracted capybara (real name Kapibala, nickname Pipi), walked towards them with a mysterious smile.

"Leave it to me, Pipi! This is mental pollution!"

Kapibala, who had just completed his contract with the Beastmaster, was clearly not yet able to communicate with the Beastmaster's mind. With a single move of mental pollution, he indiscriminately assimilated everyone present, treating them as targets.

Meng Wenbin's rank was too high, so I didn't feel anything.

Wu Jingyu and Lin Manman felt as if they had entered a peaceful and serene paradise, and both of them spontaneously revealed a Buddhist-like smile.

Lin Ruochen and the two-winged saber-toothed tiger were less affected, but they also felt extremely peaceful, and all their negative emotions dissipated at this moment.

"Would you like to become a spirit pet? I will definitely train you well. My sister can even help you improve your quality and take your potential to the next level."

Influenced by the mental pollution, Lin Ruochen sincerely extended a contract invitation to the two-winged saber-toothed tiger.

The saber-toothed tiger sensed the other's sincere feelings and, under the influence of mental corruption, lost the will to resist, so it obediently closed its eyes.

Lin Ruochen also took the opportunity to sign his first spirit beast.

Meng Wenbin, who had been quietly observing from the sidelines, finally noticed the special ability of Lin Manman's new spirit pet: "A talent that can control emotions? Interesting."

Because Pipi's level is now two levels lower than the Two-Winged Saber-Toothed Tiger, the intensity and duration of its influence on the Two-Winged Saber-Toothed Tiger are limited. Almost as soon as Lin Ruochen completed the contract, the effect of mental pollution lost its effect on the Two-Winged Saber-Toothed Tiger.

At this moment, the two-winged saber-toothed tiger, now fully awake, roared in exasperation, flapping its wings wildly and creating a huge gust of wind that brought Lin Manman and Wu Jingyu, who were still under mental pollution, back to their senses.

Meng Wenbin snorted, raised his hand and gently pressed down, the invisible pressure slamming the two-winged saber-toothed tiger to the ground.

The immense power of the superior level rendered the saber-toothed tiger unable to move, lying prone on the ground.

"Ruochen, take a look at this first, and then try to add restrictions to the contract according to the method on it." Meng Wenbin sent a file to Lin Ruochen using his bracelet.

Lin Manman curiously leaned forward, "Teacher, what is this?"

She had never heard of adding any restrictions to a soul contract.

"Most of your spirit pets were raised by humans from a young age, so they have very low resistance to humans. However, the spirit beasts in the secret realm are proud and difficult to tame. Unless you use your own strength to make the spirit beasts submit and willingly accept the contract, they will be vulnerable."

"Even if a contract is successfully signed using other means, these proud spirit beasts would rather perish than easily accept the command of a beast tamer."

"Therefore, in order to deal with this situation, the Spirit Beast Research Institute has developed a set of restrictions that can deepen the influence of the contract and restrain the contracted spirit pets."

While Meng Wenbin was explaining things to Lin Manman, Lin Ruochen had already inscribed a restrictive array deep within the soul of the two-winged saber-toothed tiger, following the instructions in the document.

Seeing that Lin Ruochen had successfully completed the restriction, Meng Wenbin withdrew his suppression of the two-winged saber-toothed tiger.

Without Lin Ruochen needing to test the effect of the restriction, the two-winged saber-toothed tiger with mind-reading abilities already understood its predicament and resignedly lowered its noble head.
