Beast Taming: I have unique beast-collecting skills

Lin Su was momentarily stunned, looking at her pet beast, when a catchy melody suddenly began to swirl in her mind:

"Eyes wide like brass bells, gleaming with lightning-like shrewdness; ears perked up like antennas, listening for any suspicious sound..."

The little fox opened its mouth as if to speak, but then stopped, pointing at her with its paw but not putting it down.

Seeing this, Lin Su subconsciously raised her hand to touch her forehead and the back of her head, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with them.

"...Ahhh, Black Cat Sheriff!"

Is she out of her mind? How can you tell from her appearance?

"...The citizens of the forest salute you! Salute you! Salute you!"

After the entire song finished playing, the world finally fell silent...

Lin Su breathed a sigh of relief, slowly turned off the still-ringing alarm, set it for 11 p.m., and then started taking out her toiletries.

"Huanhuan".

Ahri finally spoke again, still somewhat surprised, but much calmer.

Her hair looks different?

Lin Su paused for a moment, then immediately took out the mirror.

Being exceptionally intelligent won't work; she had thick hair in her previous life until she transmigrated, so there's no reason for her to go bald young in this life.

The girl's appearance was very clear in the handheld mirror, especially her hair, which, although a bit frizzy, was still quite thick.

Lin Su felt relieved and reached out to brush aside the large patch of unevenly dyed dark purple hair that had shocked Ah Li.

"Xiao Tu, how did you do this?" she asked in her mind.

It's quite... artistic, but it would be great if it were just a one-time thing. She still prefers her natural black hair to last.

The mechanical voice said calmly:

"Skills like poisonous fog and plant sap can be used, and they are harmless to the body. The color will fade completely after a week at most."

It's okay if it doesn't all fall out; it only dyes the lower half. I can just go get a haircut...

"It's just a color change, it's fine and won't affect anything."

As Lin Su explained, she placed the mirror on the ground, smoothed her hair, and quickly began braiding her hair.

It looks a bit ugly when it's dyed and left loose. No one can see it, but she's not at home either. She'd rather look pretty without having to go through the trouble.

However, no sooner had she finished speaking than Ahri cried out again, this time not only in surprise but also with a hint of displeasure:

"Huanhuan?!"

It even stole some food!

Lin Su turned her head and saw Ali holding up an empty packaging bag and a milk carton.

She saw it when she woke up and thought it was her pet animal that ate it... That's strange, it can't be that someone hypnotized Ahri just to steal some food, right?

"Do you remember what happened before you fell asleep?" Lin Su asked while continuing to work.

There are many ways to put an opponent to sleep, including common hypnosis techniques, hypnotic powder, singing, flute playing, and even a pet yawning or blowing a kiss...

The only way to keep Ahri completely unaware is to have a high level of skill, be able to use it from a distance, and not have strong emotions, otherwise she will be discovered as soon as she gets close.

Upon hearing the question, the little fox immediately forgot about stealing food and began to carefully recall what it had done the previous night.

It stared at the pet in the lake, then opened some snacks, heard singing... and then what? It seems like that was it?!

"Huanhuan!"

Ahri immediately meowed, clearly indicating that it had heard a beautiful song, and then inexplicably fell asleep.

Lin Su paused for a moment.

Miradia?

It's no wonder that was her first reaction; Miradia's sound-based attacks are practically its signature, plus the fact that the other person had stared at her for quite a while yesterday...

But those snacks are specifically for pets under one year old. If it really is Miradia, the pet that stole the snacks and the pet that dyed her hair are probably not the same one.

The animals here are all very bold; perhaps they were just passing by and playing a prank.

But why would Miradia hypnotize Ahri if she had nothing better to do? Was her dream last night due to the singing or just a coincidence...?

"Did you have a dream last night?" Lin Su turned her head to look at her pet.

"Huanhuan?"

Ahri cried out in confusion, as if to say, "Don't we dream every day?"

"It wasn't a dream about training."

Lin Su couldn't help but laugh, then added, "Did you have any other dreams after you fell asleep?"

"Huanhuan".

Ahri shook her head.

I see...

Lin Su quickened her washing up, then tidied up the trash, rolled up her sleeping bag, and packed it away. Only after finishing did she say:

"Let's go, let's go to the woods."

The claim that Miradia makes people dream of places of destiny is not officially verified, just like the belief that the Phantom Moon Fox brings good luck is very unfounded.

Firstly, this race is very small in number, and not many people can hear its songs; secondly, its songs can create dreams, and if it simply makes things up, no one might know if it's true or false.

Besides, can you distinguish between major and minor connections? In the same place, you might find money or make a close friend... The concept of fate is too subjective and difficult to measure.

If this dream was truly created by Miradia, she felt that the other party didn't want her to go to the sandstone lands because water and fire are incompatible, and now whenever she thinks of the desert, she associates it with her desperate escape that she seems to have failed...

However, the sandstone area was already on her itinerary, and she would try to visit every area if time allowed.

The man and the fox left without being affected at all.

The pet that had been hiding was stunned.

They just left like that?

After pausing for a moment, it decisively picked up the fruit it had just picked and followed.

-----------------

Woodland area.

The air was exceptionally fresh, sunlight filtered through the dense foliage, casting dappled patterns of light, and even the wind carried the unique fragrance of plants.

Under the shade of a tree, a mushroom with a huge cap is pulling its legs out of the soil, its grass-green body dotted with red dots swaying rhythmically.

A round, legless, red berry-colored pet hopped and skipped through the forest, bringing with it a sweet, fruity aroma.

Not far from it, a bird with light brown feathers, a short, inward-curving beak, and ears that stand up like a cat's are hanging upside down on a branch with its eyes closed.

Giant Mushroom, Ball Fruit, Little Night Owl... Lin Su kept recalling the species and habits of these pet beasts in her mind.

"Huanhuan".

Ahri called out in time, reminding her beast tamer that there was a pet egg that she hadn't seen before.

Lin Su looked over at the sound and saw that the dark gray eggshell had thin stripes of green and black, which was not conspicuous when mixed in with the pile of leaves.

"This is the pet egg of the Iron Spike Ball," she explained to her pet.

This Grass/Steel type pet not only learns healing skills but also has excellent defense, making it the most expensive pet egg I've encountered so far.

"Let's take it with us."

"Huanhuan~"

The person and the beast carried the pet egg away, still unaware of the little tail that had appeared behind them.
