Beast Taming Begins with Inheriting a Legacy.

Chapter 62 Pre-ordering a Dragon-type Pet

In the parking lot.

The two remaining pets of the bald man and his companion were charred black by the flames and lay on the ground, their fate unknown.

The scorpion-haired man's eyes flickered as he slowly backed away, already thinking about which direction to escape in.

At this moment, the bald man charged directly at Ye Wuyan, a small piece of razor blade hidden between his fingers, his face contorted with rage: "Die!"

Ye Wuyan sat on a stone stool, calmly watching the bald man rushing towards him.

The next second, a beam of light carrying the breath of ice shot down from above Ye Wuyan and struck the bald man's feet. In the blink of an eye, the ground quickly froze, freezing the bald man's legs in place.

"Wh-what..." The bald man looked up in astonishment, only to see that the Frostbird, which had been fighting the Violent Blade Wyvern, had somehow flown over here.

After the bald man's legs were frozen, the freezing effect continued, gradually freezing his body, arms, and so on until only his head was exposed, his entire body frozen into a block of ice.

Ye Wuyan whistled, his bright, star-like eyes behind his sunglasses curving into a smile: "Truly a 'lifelike' ice sculpture..."

The Frostbird in mid-air slowly descended to Ye Wuyan's side.

"Achoo~"

Ye Wuyan suddenly sneezed, quickly covering half of his face with one hand and waving his other hand dismissively: "Xuexue, try to ward off the chill."

Upon hearing this, the Frostbird withdrew its chilling aura and took a few small steps to the side.

"Wow, it's quite lively here."

Just then, a girl's voice came from above.

Ye Wuyan looked up and saw three white-feathered eagles hovering above the parking lot, with six men and women standing on their backs, all of whom appeared to be in their early twenties.

Ye Wuyan's gaze fell on the tallest and oldest young man with a buzz cut. After thinking for a few seconds, his expression suddenly became somewhat surprised: "Oh, it's you."

The short-haired youth looked down at Ye Wuyan. Although he couldn't see the latter's face clearly, his nonchalant demeanor and that familiar voice that made him grit his teeth...

Instantly, the crew-cut youth guessed the identity of his subordinate, his face darkening considerably. He sneered, "How come you're still alive?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Wuyan shook his head with feigned sigh: "You hypocrite! You can't bear to see me die, so how could I possibly die?"

"Senior brother...who is he?" A pretty little girl next to the crew-cut youth asked.

The little girl was genuinely curious.

My senior brother, who is usually cold and ruthless, is now like a powder keg, ready to explode at any moment.

The young man with the buzz cut scoffed, "A disgusting bastard that even a dog would chase for nine blocks and bite twice."

Little girl: "..." Huh?

Ye Wuyan stood up, his hands still in his pockets: "Perfect, since you're here, I'll leave this mess to you."

"Huo Huo, let's go." Ye Wuyan activated the summoning array and returned the Frostbird to his pet space.

Upon hearing this, the Flame Meteor Monkey, which was not far away, grabbed the scorpion-tailed man who was trying to sneak away and threw him like a sack in front of the buzz-cut youth. Then, it bent its legs and jumped to Ye Wuyan's side.

Just as Ye Wuyan and the Flame Monkey were about to leave the parking lot, he suddenly turned around and shouted, "By the way! I caught these two! You're not allowed to take the bounty from me! Not a single penny!"

The young man with the buzz cut had throbbing temples.

Does this guy think everyone is as shameless and despicable as him?

"……knew."

After receiving a satisfactory reply, Ye Wuyan turned and left.

"..."

……

the other side.

Gu Ling estimated the distance to be only a few dozen meters.

Gu Ling, a large, living person, would be easily noticed if she walked past, but Xian Jiu was small, so getting a little closer wouldn't be a problem.

As they approached the bread truck, Xian Jiu instantly teleported over, first giving the three of them an electric shock skill to paralyze them, then grabbing the bag containing the pet eggs and teleporting back instantly.

However, Gu Ling didn't have Xian Jiu test the ability to teleport back while holding the item, so she didn't know how far the teleportation could travel.

"It's a pity I can't add points now, otherwise I could increase the proficiency of the Instant Skill and be even more secure..." Gu Ling thought regretfully.

If you don't work hard usually, you'll regret not having enough points when you need them.

I must practice more when I get back to my hometown!

Gu Ling described to Xian Jiu how to steal the pet egg back. "Xian Jiu, are you ready?"

Xian Jiu nodded firmly, her gaze unwavering: "Meow~"

For the sake of smoky canned food!

Xian Jiu tiptoed over, and because of her petite size, she did not attract the attention of the security guard.

Once she was close enough to the black bread truck, Xianjiu used teleportation.

The next second, it appeared directly on the luggage bag inside the car.

The security personnel, who were just about to close the car door, paused for a moment.

Xian Jiu grinned at the man, and then his body crackled with electricity.

【electric shock】

Gu Ling, who was not far away, heard two screams at the same time and saw several seconds of electric light coming from inside the black van.

"Ahhh..."

"Ahhh..."

The security guard next to the car was electrocuted and fell to the ground, convulsing.

"Meow~"

With its two claws gripping the straps of one duffel bag and its mouth holding the strap of another, Xianjiu teleported five meters away from the car.

After teleporting out, Xian Jiu immediately used her telekinesis to carry two luggage bags and sprint towards Gu Ling.

"The pet egg... has been stolen!"

The driver in the car shouted, but he was also numb all over from the electric shock, and his hands and feet were twitching and waving uncontrollably. He had no strength to stand up at all.

Standing in the corner, Gu Ling watched nervously as Xian Jiu ran over and successfully retrieved the two bags. She breathed a sigh of relief: "Good job, Xian Jiu! Let's go!"

After saying that, Gu Ling immediately grabbed a duffel bag in each hand, turned around, and ran away.

Xian Jiu, who had just been panting with her tongue out for a few seconds, saw her beast tamer run away. Without taking a break, she followed Gu Ling and ran like the wind.

Gu Ling didn't dare to stop running forward for a moment, her palms were rubbed red and sore by the straps of the luggage bag.

"Xian Jiu, hurry up and catch up..."

As they turned a corner, a figure appeared, and Gu Ling almost couldn't brake in time and collided with the person.

"Little student, you're really here! Huo Huo's guidance was spot on..."

Upon seeing Ye Wuyan, Gu Ling immediately breathed a sigh of relief, put her luggage bag on the ground, and rubbed her aching palms: "Senior Ye, where are those two pet poachers?"

"People from the Hundred Flowers Dojo have arrived; we'll leave it to them."

Then, Ye Wuyan briefly explained the situation on his end, and finally added, "You don't blame me for stealing your credit in front of everyone, do you?"

Gu Ling shook her head: "Senior Ye, you're the one who caught two pet poachers, this isn't about stealing credit."

Gu Ling was tempted by the 50 yuan reward and wished she could have it all, but she also knew very well that it was unlikely.

Gu Ling believed that being able to participate in the arrest process would definitely earn her a higher reward than the 10,000 yuan tip.

Gu Ling was very satisfied with the current result.

Ye Wuyan stared at Gu Ling for several seconds before a slight smile appeared on his lips: "Pet poachers usually sneak into big cities after stealing dragon-type pet eggs. When the dragon-type pets come looking for them, the city's defense personnel will prioritize repelling them for the safety of the citizens."

"Then the pet poachers take the opportunity to sell the pet eggs on the black market. Once they get the money, they immediately change their appearance. In the vast sea of ​​people, it is extremely difficult to find the pet poachers again."

Gu Ling recalled the train's final stop and couldn't help but look surprised: "The final stop of this train is Baihua City. Are they planning to lure the Savannah Highmaul to Baihua City and then use that as an opportunity to escape?"

Ye Wuyan nodded slightly: "That's right. Hundred Flowers City has the Hundred Flowers Gym. With the strength of a provincial gym, even if a monarch-level Tyrannosaurus Rex comes, it can be severely injured even if it cannot be defeated immediately, preventing it from continuing to pursue the Pokémon Poacher."

"This is an open conspiracy." Gu Ling realized with shock as she connected the dots.

"Even if we know it's an open conspiracy, when the time comes, the Hundred Flowers Dojo must prioritize stopping the enraged Violent Blade Dragon," Ye Wuyan said.

"Young man, your contribution this time is actually quite significant. Compared to the safety of life and property of residents in a major first-tier city, you deserve this 50 yuan reward."

After all, if the Salamence from the protected area really went to Flora City, and the Flora City Gym couldn't arrive immediately, Flora City would inevitably suffer some losses.

"The fact that these two were able to successfully infiltrate the Longfeng Cave Nature Reserve and take away the pet eggs suggests that they have the support of shady forces behind them. To prevent retaliation from those people, your information will not be published in subsequent news reports of commendations. In this matter, you are just an ordinary underage high school student who was innocently caught up in it."

Ye Wuyan's tone seemed to have changed slightly, revealing a hint of inexplicable caution.

Before Gu Ling could even begin to decipher the meaning behind this, Ye Wuyan's innocent smile returned, and he reverted to his usual lazy demeanor: "However, I believe Zhou Mengran will fight for the bonus you deserve."

Gu Ling nodded: "Okay, I'll remember that. Thank you, Senior Ye."

Ye Wuyan publicly took all the credit for capturing the pet poacher, which was also a way of protecting her.

Gu Ling was very grateful to Ye Wuyan for considering this for her.

Ye Wuyan stretched and muttered to himself, "The Dragon Peak Cave Nature Reserve did a bad job. They lost so many precious dragon-type pet eggs, but they hid them and only issued a paltry 50 reward. Tsk tsk..."

"If they had made it clear from the beginning that they had lost 15 dragon-type pet eggs with the potential to be kings, these two pet poachers wouldn't have gotten away with it for so long."

Gu Ling couldn't help but imagine that scene.

If the Longfeng Cave Nature Reserve were to announce that it had lost so many dragon-type pet eggs, it would probably attract a large number of people who want to steal them.

While this method was efficient enough to capture the two pet poachers, it was still uncertain whether the dragon-type pet egg would remain intact during the process.

All I can say is that while the reserve's act of concealing information was somewhat unethical, from the reserve's perspective, it's hard to say whether it was right or wrong.

Ye Wuyan, standing to the side, felt increasingly indignant: "No way! These dragon-type pet eggs are worth hundreds of millions! The reserve is so stingy, only offering a 50 yuan bounty?!"

"Mmm." Gu Ling couldn't help but nod in agreement when money was mentioned.

Ye Wuyan turned to Gu Ling and instructed, "Little classmate, remember to ask Zhou Mengran to extort more from you. It would be even better if she could give you a dragon-type pet egg."

Hearing this, Gu Ling was both amused and exasperated: "Senior Ye, even if I had a dragon-type pet egg right now, I wouldn't have the money to raise it after it hatches..."

Does Gu Ling find this proposal appealing?

I'm really tempted!

The combat power of dragon-type pets is undeniable. If it were a Wyvern that could evolve and fly, just thinking about it would be incredibly cool.

But Gu Ling simply can't afford to support him.

The cost of raising a dragon-type pet is often several times more than the cost of buying the dragon-type pet.

Ye Wuyan's tone was quite matter-of-fact: "You can make a reservation, anyway, the reserve is right there, it's not going anywhere."

"In a few years, when you become a professional beast tamer, you'll have the money to raise a dragon-type pet. Then you can just go to the protected area and find one to contract with."

That's what I meant...

It seems that the dragon-type pets in the famous Dragon Peak Cave Nature Reserve in the Dragon Profound Kingdom are just like cabbages on the street, available for her to choose from.

"Senior Ye, to be honest, I didn't do much to catch these two pet poachers. I only provided a few clues. The nature reserve wouldn't just give away a precious dragon-type pet egg to an ordinary high school student like me, would they?"

Gu Ling was still somewhat self-aware.

She's just an ordinary student with no power, influence, or background. Even if she helped find the dragon-type pet egg, she could be easily appeased with a small reward. How could she possibly give away a dragon-type pet egg for free?

Ye Wuyan glanced at Xian Jiu, who was panting and sticking out her tongue, paused for two seconds, and then suddenly suggested, "Little classmate, are you interested in applying to Shanghai University for your college entrance exam two years from now?"

"Huh?" Gu Ling was a little taken aback.

Weren't we just talking about nature reserves? How come Ye's thoughts suddenly jumped to her college application?

Ye Wuyan began to coax him gently: "If you can get into Shanghai University, then as your senior, and given that I caught the pet poacher this time and negotiated with the reserve, I'm 90% confident that I can get those old fogies in the reserve to give you a dragon-type pet for free. You can pick it up whenever you want."

"Ninety percent certain..."

Gu Ling was tempted, but she also felt that the deal was not fair and there was a trap in it.

"Just let me get into Shanghai University in two years? Is it that simple?" Gu Ling probed.

Gu Ling knew that prestigious universities like Shanghai University promised various admission benefits to students with excellent academic performance and conduct, all in order to recruit them.

But a high-quality dragon-type pet... isn't that a bit too much of a "benefit"?

Ye Wuyan raised an eyebrow: "Young student, you're quite confident. Shanghai University is, after all, one of the two top universities on par with Beijing University."

Gu Ling then asked, "Senior Ye, haven't you considered what if I want to apply to Beijing University?"

Ye Wuyan looked puzzled: "Huh...why?"

Gu Ling: "..." No, you really haven't considered it!

Ye Wuyan rubbed his arms, which felt a little cold, frowned, and shook his head: "It's so cold there in winter, it's not fun at all, don't go, don't go~"

Gu Ling: "..."

This reason was indeed sufficient for Gu Ling, who was from the South.

The Imperial University is located in the north, where winters are very cold and snow is everywhere, which is quite discouraging for Gu Ling.

Ye Wuyan: "Of course, it's not just about getting into Shanghai University. I have another small condition."

Gu Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "What are the conditions?" She had guessed it wouldn't be that simple.

Under Gu Ling's expectant and curious gaze, Ye Wuyan turned his head away, keeping her in suspense: "Well... you'll find out when the time comes, probably in a month or two. I'll go to Nanping No.1 Middle School to find you again."

"Alright, alright, let's stop talking." Ye Wuyan waved his hand, glanced down at the time on his wristwatch, and said, "I'll take you to the station to buy a ticket. We can't let this National Day holiday be ruined."

After saying that, Ye Wuyan put his hands in his pockets, turned around and left.

"Hey!" Gu Ling was taken aback for a moment, then quickly called out to him, "Senior Ye, it seems you... are going the wrong way."

Ye Wuyan paused, then calmly turned her head: "Is that so?"

Gu Ling silently extended a finger and pointed to the arrow sign above the wall, but the arrow was pointing in the opposite direction.

Ye Wuyan coughed lightly twice, his fist pressed against his chest: "Ahem, I didn't notice... Which way, which way? I've never been here before..."

Gu Ling: "..."

So why can someone who has never been here before pretend to know the place like I do?

Dragon Baby will come, but not now. The female lead can't afford to raise it right now, and the second pet will be coming soon too!
