Beast Taming: I have unique beast-collecting skills

"Pino".

Pinoli stared intently at his beastmaster.

Tu Zhiyi coughed, and his originally gentle eyebrows and eyes suddenly became more defined and sharp. His pale skin turned honey-colored, and he looked much stronger.

His facial features had changed only slightly, but his overall demeanor was noticeably different. People who weren't familiar with him might actually doubt whether it was the same person at first glance... Tu Zhiyi looked at his new image reflected in the elevator door and fidgeted with his cuffs uncomfortably.

Lin Su put the unused eye drops into her spatial storage, glanced at his arm that was faintly emitting black energy, and knew that this was a sign of being cursed. Without asking any further questions, she looked away and said:

"If no one asks later, let Xiaoying go with you first."

I don't know the details of that party. While an openly invited event shouldn't be dangerous, it's always good to reveal as little information as possible.

"Okay." Tu Zhiyi nodded.

"Let's go then," Lin Su said.

A pair of fox eyes glowing with blue light appeared in mid-air, and in the next instant, the group of people and their pets in front of the elevator disappeared from the spot.

……

794 Kerville Street.

A dozen cars were parked in front of the detached courtyard, and white-topped tents and string lights were set up in the open-air garden. The deafening music could be heard from half a street away.

Many young people were swaying to the music with their glasses in hand. There were three huge beer barrels and some ordinary food on the table, and many ghost-type pets were eating and drinking around them.

A group of figures appeared in mid-air.

Ahri controlled the speed, slowly drifting everyone down the street below.

Lin Su observed carefully for a moment and found that there were almost no pets of other types besides Ghost, and most people did not bring their pets with them.

"It seems that most of the people here are locals," Tu Zhiyi remarked.

In sight, two men wearing headscarves each carried a ghost-type pet. After checking their Beastmaster badges, the waiter at the door let them through, allowing them to cross the lawn and join the garden party.

How to put it? It was just like a very ordinary party... Lin Su floated in the air, her gaze sweeping over the seemingly empty terrace, her eyes lowered in thought.

"Xuexue..."

As they drew closer, Bai Bai couldn't help but flap his ears impatiently.

"Do you want the illustration book back?" Lin Su asked, leaning close to the rabbit's ear.

She had told the four boys that the party might be noisy, but Bai Bai and Qian Yang both said they wanted to broaden their horizons, so they still came out together.

"Xuexue".

Bai hesitated for a moment, then nodded vigorously.

The environment here isn't as comfortable as the auctions the Beastmaster took it to, and it certainly doesn't seem dangerous. It's better to go back to its space and sleep.

"Lingling~"

It wanted to take another look.

A cheerful chirping sound reached his ears, and Pinoli turned his head with curiosity, staring at the hairpin that made the sound, and tugged at the hem of his beast tamer's robe.

"Pino?"

"It's due to its water-melting properties; you can see water droplets if you look closely," Tu Zhiyi explained.

Soon, the two landed steadily on the ground.

Lin Su pulled the invisible Ahri into her arms and took out the black invitation card that was in a transparent bag.

The waiter standing at the door only saw a black invitation card fly all the way over and finally land on the table in front of him.

"Ghost Puppet!"

The little shadow floating at the front called out, signaling its presence.

An invitation card, a ghost-type pet I'd never seen before, a typical Eastern face... A waiter wearing a white round hat smiled and stepped out from behind the counter, bowing and gesturing "please":

"Honorable guest, this way please."

"Night after night."

A palm-sized butterfly-like pet with wings that glowed softly in the night flew out of the room, circled the two of them once, and led the way.

……

Second floor terrace.

Under the soft but slightly dim light, a pet beast that looks like a harp is plucking the strings on its body, playing beautiful and soothing music.

People with different hair colors gathered in twos and threes.

Some people were on the terrace, enjoying the breeze and watching the lively scene in the garden; others sat at the bar, sipping wine and swaying their heads to the music; still others stayed alone in a corner, openly observing and scrutinizing any new beast tamers who came to the second floor...

Feeling the gaze coming from diagonally in front of her, Lin Su looked straight back and unexpectedly met a pair of inorganic black eyes.

"Hi!"

A passionate voice interrupted their eye contact.

Salita, who was talking to someone, came over with a wine glass in hand.

She immediately recognized the ghost-type pet she had seen that afternoon. Seeing that a man followed it in, she thought she would see the swimming girl from the Dragon Kingdom again, but instead, it was another one—with extremely similar but more mature features, looking somewhat arrogant, and carrying the fox pet that could teleport.

"I am Sarita."

Salita smiled and said, "You and your sister look alike. I met her at the pool; isn't she coming tonight?"

Tu Zhiyi glanced at Lin Su, who suddenly had a younger sister.

"She's used to going to bed early."

Lin Su smiled politely and naturally picked up where Sarita left off: "Did you host this party? Thank you for the invitation. I didn't expect to have the opportunity to meet a ghost-type beast tamer from another country so soon after arriving in Garuda."

"This is not my achievement."

Salita smiled and gestured for Lin Su to look at the handsome bartender wearing an earring who was mixing drinks. "This was Abhijit's idea; Gavin and I were just helping him make the invitation."

"By the way, Gavin is my boyfriend."

Salita then pointed to the brown-haired man standing in the center of a small group of people talking, and said casually, "We only met Abhijit in New Gaya not long ago. Since we all have Ghost-type pets, we have a lot in common, so we thought we might throw a party to meet more friends."

"I forgot to ask, is that Ghost-type pet yours?"

Lin Su nodded.

Salita was a sociable person. After parting ways with Lin Su, she quickly started chatting with a new woman whose face was covered by a black veil, revealing only her brown eyes.

Lin Su carried Ah Li to the bar and sat down.

During the previous conversation, Abhijit had already finished making the third drink, and now she pushed the pinkish-orange glass towards her: "Non-alcoholic, beautiful lady, I hope you like it."

"Thanks."

Lin Su took a sip and inquired, "Is that long-haired girl in the corner from Ibuki Country? I have a feeling she's looking in this direction."

"You mean Sasagawa Kotoko?" Abhijit raised an eyebrow. "Doesn't she know this gentleman next to you?"

Hmm? Lin Su looked up at Tu Zhiyi.
