Beast Taming Begins with Inheriting a Legacy.

Chapter 28 Xianjiu is in trouble

Feeling a bit bored watching his two pets train, Long Yifei simply ordered takeout: barbecue with iced drinks—it was incredibly refreshing.

After eating and drinking his fill, Long Yifei prepared to go to the toilet to take care of his "important life event." He glanced at the training equipment and saw that there were still 5 minutes left before it ended. He then told his two pets, "Electric Sheep, Immortal Nine, I'll go out for a bit. You two continue training."

Long Yifei thought that nothing unexpected would happen since he was only gone for 5 minutes.

"Meow~"

"Meow~"

After Long Yifei left, the two pets completed their final five minutes of training. When the time was up, all the obstacle courses stopped working.

Electric Sheep lay panting on the floor to rest. When she turned her head, she found that Xianjiu was still using high-speed movement and moving around non-stop.

"Meow?" Dian Meimei tried calling out to Xianjiu.

But at this moment, Xian Jiu could no longer listen to what Dian Meimei was saying. Xian Jiu felt that something was changing in her body, as if she was filled with a ball of energy that was about to burst out.

So, following her heart, Xian Jiu unleashed her power.

"Meow~"

Uncontrollable, frenzied lightning power erupted from Xian Jiu's body!

boom!

The control panel was struck by lightning and a corner was shattered.

"Beep beep beep—"

A warning sound suddenly rang out in the training hall, startling everyone.

When Long Yifei returned, he was stunned to see the training equipment that Xian Jiu had destroyed.

"What... what's going on?"

The training center staff had already arrived and cordoned off the area. Upon seeing Long Yifei, they immediately approached him and asked, "Are you the Beastmaster of the Thunder Seal Cat?"

"No, it belongs to my friend." Long Yifei shook his head.

The staff member said with a serious face, "Then please contact your friend as soon as possible to discuss the compensation issue for the damage to the training equipment caused by Lei Yin Cat during its breakthrough to the extraordinary level."

Long Yifei: ?!

……

On the other side, at the Lei Yin Cat Ecological Park, Gu Ling spent the whole afternoon working.

Because she had gradually become familiar with Lei Yin Cat and Lei Ji Cat over the past few days, and no longer rejected Gu Ling, she was able to successfully collect a lot of points.

Under a blue sky and white clouds, Gu Ling sat in the shade of a tree, occasionally petting the Lei Yin cat that jumped and rolled around beside her, and sighed contentedly, "It's another beautiful day..."

Gu Ling had almost finished her work at the ecological park. She said goodbye to Uncle Liu, settled her wages for the day, and prepared to leave.

Just then, Gu Ling's cell phone rang in her pocket.

Gu Ling took it out and saw that it was a call from Long Yifei.

The call had barely connected when, before Gu Ling could even speak, Long Yifei's urgent voice came from the other end of the line: "Gu Ling, come over here right now!"

Gu Ling's heart tightened, and she quickened her pace: "Has something happened to Xian Jiu?"

"Well, it's not a big deal... but it's not a small matter either." Long Yifei paused, seemingly considering how to explain the situation.

Gu Ling: ?

What is that?

It seemed a bit noisy on Long Yifei's end, so he raised his voice a little: "Don't be anxious, I have good news and bad news. The good news is that it seems your Xian Jiu has advanced to the extraordinary level."

Gu Ling: !

Isn't this a good thing?

Why is Long Yifei speaking so hesitantly?

Gu Ling breathed a sigh of relief and slowed her pace: "So that's what it is. Xianjiu has been working very hard these past few days. I reckon it should indeed be advancing to the extraordinary level."

The current situation is one or two days ahead of Gu Ling's estimate.

"By the way, what's the bad news?" Gu Ling asked casually.

Xianjiu is fine.

Xianjiu has advanced to the extraordinary level.

Gu Ling was in a very good mood at the moment, feeling that even the worst news was no big deal.

As Gu Ling walked towards the entrance of the ecological park, she thought to herself: Tianxian Jiu has been working so hard these past few days, it's time to give it a reward.

Long Yifei: "The bad news is that Xian Jiu advanced to the extraordinary level unconsciously, and happened to be training at the time, so a piece of the training equipment was broken..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Ling stumbled, her pupils suddenly shrinking: "What?!"

……

On the way to the Starry Sky Training Center, Gu Ling tried her best to calm herself down.

It's okay, it's okay, it's okay... It's just a piece that broke off.

Breaking things up brings peace? That's a good omen!

But when Gu Ling arrived at the Starry Sky Training Center and saw the amount on the compensation slip handed to her by the staff, she was even more incredulous: "How much?!"

From the staff member's mouth, which was 37 degrees Celsius, came out a cold number: "200,000."

"Really 20?!?!" Gu Ling raised her hand to cover her heart, feeling a little overwhelmed.

When Long Yifei and the other two heard this number, they couldn't help but feel sorry for Gu Ling.

They all knew Gu Ling's family background; 20 was not a small amount for Gu Ling.

The staff explained, "The instrument cost 150 million yuan and has been used for seven or eight years. Even if it's worth half that, it's still worth 70 yuan. Considering that you are a student and the damage is not very severe, it can still be used after some repairs. We'll just compensate you with 20 yuan."

Gu Ling knew the price of the instrument.

When Gu Ling came to the training center, she checked the prices of the equipment online. The cheaper ones cost tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan, while the more expensive ones cost millions.

Gu Ling knew the staff hadn't lied to her, and they had even given her a discounted compensation price...

Gu Ling still felt heartbroken.

20 million!

After collecting rent from that apartment for so long, and deducting all sorts of miscellaneous expenses, it only amounts to about 20 yuan!

And just like that, all the money was gone.

Gu Ling requested to see the surveillance footage of when Xianjiu damaged the equipment.

Upon arriving at the monitoring room, Gu Ling watched the surveillance footage three times. The footage showed the process of Xian Jiu damaging the equipment three times, and she had to accept this painful fact.

Gu Ling took out her phone and asked the staff member next to her, "Can I pay with my phone? I don't have a bank card with me."

The staff member nodded: "Okay."

After Gu Ling paid the compensation, another staff member came over carrying the "culprit".

"Meow~"

Knowing she had caused trouble, Xian Jiu was dejected. When she saw Gu Ling, her eyes became even more uneasy. She glanced at him and then quickly lowered her head again.

Gu Ling sighed and reached out to hug Xian Jiu: "Xian Jiu, your net worth has increased." Now it's almost 60.

"Mwah~" Xian Jiu cautiously looked up at Gu Ling.

Gu Ling patted Xian Jiu's head: "It's okay, no need to apologize."

"I'm so happy that you were able to advance to the extraordinary level ahead of schedule, really."

"I also bear responsibility for this. If I had stayed by your side the whole time, I would have noticed something was wrong immediately and prevented the accident that damaged the equipment."

Seeing that Gu Ling didn't seem angry, Xian Jiu's anxious heart was gradually calmed down.

Gu Ling examined Xian Jiu's body and, finding no injuries, smiled upon seeing Xian Jiu being unusually well-behaved and obedient: "Were you very scared?"

Xian Jiu nestled in Gu Ling's arms, her two little paws pressed together obediently: "Meow~"

A tiny bit... but really not at all!

Gu Ling smiled and reminded him, "Xian Jiu, you should be happy, shouldn't you? You've already reached the extraordinary level, and you're one step closer to evolving into the handsome Thunder Cat."

Upon hearing this, Xianjiu's drooping cat ears instantly perked up.

Before Xian Jiu could cheer up, she suddenly remembered something, her expression turning pitiful again as she complained to Gu Ling, "Meow~ Meow~"

Beastmaster~

A pet just scared me! It said it would throw me away!
