Beast Taming Begins with Inheriting a Legacy.

Xian Jiu hopped back to the tablet and meowed softly at Gu Ling, "Meow~"

Beastmaster, this cat suddenly doesn't want to go out.

Gu Ling asked, somewhat puzzled, "Xian Jiu, why don't you want to go either?"

Why does Xianjiu suddenly not want to go out?

Xian Jiu looked somewhat awkward and stammered, refusing to reveal the reason.

Is it going to tell the Beast Tamer: "I'm afraid this naughty little devil will sweep me away, so I have to painfully sacrifice my enjoyable time outside and stay home to study?" Absolutely not!

Seeing that Xian Jiu really didn't want to go out, Gu Ling sighed, "Alright then."

Anyway, she's just going to farm points, not play games, so it's fine even if Xianjiu and the mischievous ghost don't come along.

"Then you two stay home obediently and don't cause any trouble, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Xian Jiu and the mischievous ghost nodded obediently.

"There's food in the fridge. You can find your own lunch there. I'll order takeout for dinner, and we'll eat together when I get back..."

"Also, don't just open the door and run out."

Xian Jiu waved her kitten paw: "Meow~" Okay, okay~

Beastmaster, you'd better leave now, there's nothing for you to do here.

Gu Ling: "..." My hands are itching again.

After giving Xian Jiu's cat head a good pat, Gu Ling saw Xian Jiu's puffed-up, frizzy face and turned to leave in a good mood.

We really can't waste any more time. This is a week of vacation that we finally managed to fight for (or trick) and we can't afford to waste a single second.

Gu Ling had already made all the plans.

She visits three animal sanctuaries every day, in the morning, noon, and afternoon without missing a single one, and then takes a car home in the evening.

Gu Ling went outside and knocked on the door of room 305 across the street: "Xiao Bai..."

He had barely uttered two words when the door was opened.

Ye Xiaobai was still holding the duck doll in her hands, and the anti-lost tag was also properly worn on her body.

"Let's go."

Gu Ling waved and walked towards the stairwell first: "Let's go downstairs for breakfast first, then we'll take a car to the pet sanctuary..."

After walking a few steps, I realized there were no footsteps behind me.

No one followed.

Turning her head, Gu Ling saw Ye Xiaobai's gaze fixed on her front door. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Are you looking for Xian Jiu and the mischievous ghost? They're too lazy to go out today and want to train at home."

Gu Ling quickly realized what Xian Jiu was thinking afterward.

Since Xian Jiu was unusually proactive, Gu Ling pretended not to know anything and didn't expose her.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaobai finally looked away from the door and silently followed Gu Ling.

……

Gu Ling and the other person went downstairs to find a breakfast shop. After having breakfast, they took a car to the pet animal sanctuary.

Two hours later.

Gu Ling and her companion arrived at the entrance of a pet protection area.

Although Gu Ling had bought tickets online in advance, there were many tourists, and the reserve needed to check the items brought by the tourists, which caused some delays. So she had to queue for a while before she could enter.

Ye Xiaobai followed closely behind Gu Ling, her head bowed, her hands tightly clutching the duck doll in her arms.

Gu Ling glanced back and saw that Ye Xiaobai's face was slightly pale, and he seemed to be not very comfortable with the noisy environment with many people around.

"Put on your headphones and listen to some music first." Gu Ling took out a new pair of Bluetooth headphones from her backpack, connected them to her phone's music app, and handed them to Ye Xiaobai, gesturing for him to put them on.

Ye Xiaobai put on the Bluetooth earphones, and the surrounding noise was immediately mostly blocked out by the music coming from the earphones, which also calmed her tense and restrained mood.

Ye Xiaobai looked up at Gu Ling, and slightly opened her mouth: "...Thank you."

This was the first thing Gu Ling had heard Ye Xiaobai say to her since yesterday, and she couldn't help but feel a little surprised, teasingly saying, "So you can talk after all."

"...I know a little." Ye Xiaobai said three more words slowly.

Upon hearing this, Gu Ling's expression faltered slightly.

She was just joking when she said that, but Ye Xiaobai replied with a very serious expression.

The way he awkwardly opened his mouth to speak was like that of a toddler just learning to speak.

Once the two finally lined up and entered the protected area, the space became more spacious, and the crowds dispersed, making it less crowded than before.

Ye Xiaobai visibly relaxed a lot, but still followed closely behind Gu Ling, not caring which direction or path Gu Ling took, just keeping his head down and staring at the route Gu Ling took, walking in sync with her.

When he saw the animals living in the reserve, he raised his head slightly, and his eyes seemed to sparkle with tiny starlight.

Gu Ling first asked the staff in the reserve to find out which animals visitors were allowed to touch, and then took Ye Xiaobai there.

"Little White, you can touch them."

"……Um."

Gu Ling looked at the large group of hopping and jumping pets in front of him and chuckled to himself. Then he stretched out his claws and 'caressed' each of them.

Points! It's all points!

Not a single one can be spared!

After petting all the animals in the sanctuary, Gu Ling turned to Ye Xiaobai and said:

"Let's go explore the next protected area."

Hearing this, Ye Xiaobai stroked his pet again, as if saying goodbye, before reluctantly standing up and nodding gently to Gu Ling.

To make it seem like she was really taking someone out for fun, on the way to the pet sanctuary, Gu Ling took Ye Xiaobai into a shopping mall and enthusiastically asked her if there was anything she needed to buy.

Yesterday, Gu Ling checked Ye Xiaobai's rented apartment several times. The furniture and daily necessities were basically complete, but it still seemed a bit deserted and empty.

Looking at the dazzling array of goods, Ye Xiaobai's eyes widened slightly, and she followed Gu Ling around for a while with a sense of novelty.

Finally, he asked Gu Ling to buy him a few illustrated books.

Gu Ling glanced at the book Ye Xiaobai had chosen. It included pinyin and illustrations, and was colorful, much like a children's book.

Turning her head, Gu Ling met the boy's eyes, which held a hint of expectation.

So, Gu Ling boldly pulled out the bank card given to her by a senior student: "Buy it! Swipe it!"

Anyway, it's not her money~

After buying the illustrated book, Gu Ling passed by a toy store and remembered that Ye Xiaobai was always carrying a duck toy, so she asked him if he wanted to buy a few toy to take home.

Ye Xiaobai was somewhat tempted, but he was also worried that there were too many and too big toys, and he wouldn't be able to hold them all in his arms. Moreover, it would be a bit troublesome to take them to visit the pet sanctuary.

Seeing Ye Xiaobai's concerns, Gu Ling immediately asked an employee of a certain group to run errands and pack up all the newly bought illustrated books and dolls to deliver to the community.

Afterwards, the two visited two other animal sanctuaries.

Ye Xiaobai clearly enjoyed interacting with all sorts of pets in the pet protection area, showing none of the restraint and unease he displayed when interacting with people.

And Gu Ling goes without saying.

I earned over 600 points today, a real windfall! I'm so happy!

The animal sanctuary houses more than 600 animals, but only a small number are open to the public and allowed to be touched by passengers.

"..."

After a week, Gu Ling's hands were cramping from touching her pets, but seeing the 4250 points slowly increasing in the Beast Taming Manual gave her a great sense of accomplishment.

On the evening of November 7th.

"Squeeze..."

Gu Ling had just brought Ye Xiaobai back when there was a knock on the door.

Sitting on the edge of the balcony, Ye Xiaobai turned her head, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Gu Ling came over and opened the door.

The door closed a few seconds later.

When I came back, I had several more takeout bags in my hands.

Gu Ling: "It's takeout."

It's not that Senior Ye has returned.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaobai's eyes dimmed slightly. He continued to hug the duck plushie in silence, looking at the night view outside the balcony.

Gu Ling and her companion had a pretty good time going out during the day this week.

But once home, Ye Xiaobai would either stare at his phone or look out onto the balcony. Occasionally, when he heard footsteps outside the door, he would turn his head to look.

Although Ye Wuyan did not explicitly reveal Ye Xiaobai's identity and background, Gu Ling had more or less guessed it by now.

Seeing Ye Xiaobai's sullen expression, Gu Ling felt a headache coming on and couldn't help but wonder, "I wonder what Senior Ye is doing now?"

What exactly is going on? Can't Ye Xiaobai come along?

……

at this time.

Inside the Hundred Flowers Alliance Prison.

A footstep sounded in the corridor.

Finally, a tall, slender figure stopped in front of a prison cell.

Ye Wuyan raised his hand and tugged at his somewhat stuffy mask, looking at the two men imprisoned in the cell, a slight smile playing on his lips:

Hello, we meet again.

If Gu Ling were here, she would recognize the two men locked up in prison as the two pet poachers she had met at the train station.

The scorpion-tailed man, whose limbs were firmly locked and whose body could not move an inch, sneered: "It is truly an honor for us to be defeated by the Great Demon King Ye Wuyan."

Ye Genius, Ye Great Demon King, Ye Dog, Ye Scoundrel... Ye Wuyan has been given many nicknames, so many that he can't even count them all.

The most talked-about title was "Ye the Great Demon King," which proclaimed his unshakeable dominance among his peers of beast tamers at the time.

Ye Wuyan is the strongest beast tamer of the younger generation.

Ye Wuyan will become the strongest beast tamer of all mankind in the future.

Many years ago, this was a consensus among almost everyone who knew Ye Wuyan.

Over the years, Ye Wuyan, whose fame has faded in the public eye and who is even suspected of disappearing or dying, has had his many past honors buried and forgotten by the world.

The man with the scorpion-tailed hair said, "We're just two small fry, why did you have to come all this way?"

Bald man: "We've already told you what we should have told you, and we won't reveal anything more that we shouldn't have."

After the two of them spoke, Ye Wuyan stretched out his hand and shook one finger: "You guessed wrong. I came here not to ask you anything."

"You're locked up in prison, yet you can remain calm and talk so confidently. You must be hoping someone will rescue you, right?"

Upon hearing the last sentence, both of their expressions changed slightly.

Ye Wuyan squatted down, his eyes behind his sunglasses filled with a smile that was hard to decipher: "Two gold-level beast tamers are a force to be reckoned with no matter where they are placed. They certainly won't be discarded like ordinary pawns."

"You want to use us as bait?" The scorpion-haired man's expression shifted.

"You guessed wrong again." Ye Wuyan shook his finger again and patiently explained, "If it were the old me, I would have used you as bait, because I was confident that there would only be one outcome: neither you nor the people who came to rescue you would escape."

"But now... I'm getting old~ I can't play anymore~ I don't want to cause any trouble."

"Lingling."

As soon as Ye Wuyan finished speaking, the 'white fur' wrapped around his neck like a scarf moved, revealing a pair of rose-colored fox eyes.

The next second, a faint purple light appeared in the fox's eyes as it stared at the two of them.

"Uh..."

"Ahhh..."

The two pet poachers suddenly clutched their heads and cried out in pain without warning.

A few seconds later, the two stopped talking, but their eyes were no longer clear; they looked dazed and confused.

The white fox twisted its body and wrapped itself back around Ye Wuyan's neck.

"And next up are... that fake station staff member and the driver who was supposed to pick them up."

Ye Wuyan took out a small notebook he carried with him, crossed out the names of the two pet poachers with a pen, and then pointed to the words "fake station staff" and "responding driver" below.

Although Ye Wuyan had checked the surveillance footage that day and knew that Gu Ling had not shown up or exposed herself.

But just to be on the safe side, those two were also crippled.

As Ye Wuyan walked towards another cell, he scoffed to himself, "She's still my future junior, so I'll just have to deal with the aftermath a little..."

Those dozen or so dragon-type pets are extremely valuable, and the interests involved are enormous.

Zhou Mengran, the Hundred Flowers Dojo, the Pet Alliance, and himself... are not afraid of any retaliation from certain forces.

Gu Ling is the only exception.

If Gu Ling is targeted, then Xiao Bai, who is currently by her side, will inevitably be investigated in secret as well, and Xiao Bai's special nature will be easily exposed.

They're all small creatures that haven't grown up yet; they're too easily destroyed.

"Tsk, this is how it felt when the teacher cleaned up our messes back then... So pretentious."

Ye Wuyan took out a vacuum-packed lollipop from his pocket.

Tighten the bag.

Compressing space.

With a "pop," a hole appeared at the top of the bag, revealing the lollipop inside.

Ye Wuyan put the lollipop in his mouth and muttered in a dissatisfied tone, "It's so satisfying, and the teacher didn't even tell me?"

After finding the other two people, Ye Wuyan used the same method to "torture" them into idiots.

Seeing that both of them had been dealt with, Ye Wuyan did not rush to leave.

He is waiting.

After a short while, several footsteps were heard coming from the other side of the corridor.

A group of several people appeared in front of Ye Wuyan. Leading the way were two alliance members, a man and a woman. Among the crowd was also the crew-cut youth from the Hundred Flowers Dojo that Ye Wuyan had met at the train station earlier.

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

"Go check on them quickly!"

The young man with the buzz cut first glared at Ye Wuyan, then followed several disciples of the Hundred Flowers Martial Arts Academy into the prison to check on the situation.

Inside the cell, a middle-aged woman wearing gold-rimmed glasses finished checking on the two men. Her eyelids twitched, and she hurriedly came out, looking at Ye Wuyan with a helpless expression: "Didn't you say you were just coming to take a look? How did they turn out like this in just one glance?"

Ye Wuyan tilted his head: "Aren't we still alive and well?"

The woman with the gold-rimmed glasses almost cried out, "You...you call this 'still fine'?"

Have they all become idiots?!

Is this alright?

Ye Wuyan shrugged, speaking matter-of-factly: "Anyway, you've been interrogating for so many days and haven't been able to get any more clues. My Lingling just learned a new skill and wanted to practice it, so I thought I'd use it."

"But this... is against the rules." The woman with gold-rimmed glasses looked troubled and troubled.

After confirming repeatedly that these two, like the two pet poachers from before, had their mental energy completely shattered and rendered mentally impaired, one of the Mediterranean men finally couldn't hold back any longer and shouted angrily, "Ye Wuyan! The Alliance has its own rules and regulations! You have no right to execute prisoners!"

"Oh," Ye Wuyan replied nonchalantly.

"you--"

"He's not dead, what's the rush?" Ye Wuyan put his hands in his pockets. "For the sake of the alliance, I've left him alive. As long as he's not dead, that's fine."

"I'm leaving, no need to see me off."

After saying that, Ye Wuyan calmly turned and left under the astonished gazes of the others.

The Mediterranean man clutched his chest, turning to glare angrily at the woman with gold-rimmed glasses: "Look at this! Look at this! Why did you approve letting this guy in? Now look what happened!"

"Calm down, calm down," the woman with gold-rimmed glasses advised.

"He eliminated those potential threats in Nanfu Province in less than a week, which helped us a lot. His condition was simply to cripple a few serious criminals. This was a very profitable deal."

Even the woman with the gold-rimmed glasses didn't understand why Ye Wuyan was suddenly willing to help Nanfu Province clean up these 'insects' in the shadows.

The Mediterranean man remained resentful: "But this..."

Suddenly, the crew-cut youth spoke up and suggested, "Then I'll bring Ye Wuyan back right now. You go to Shanghai University and find Professor Ye Hui yourself. As long as she speaks up, no matter how arrogant Ye Wuyan is, he'll have to obediently surrender and come back to face the Alliance's judgment."

The Mediterranean man imagined the scene, his lips twitching wildly: "Well... there's no need to disturb Professor Ye Hui."

"That's settled then, it's not a big deal anyway." The woman with gold-rimmed glasses took the opportunity to persuade him again, but she was under a lot of pressure. Seeing that the Mediterranean man finally calmed down, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The woman with the gold-rimmed glasses had worked in Shanghai in her younger years and knew more about things than the Mediterranean man.

One of our ancestors was already used to being domineering and tyrannical ten years ago.

Back then, he was pampered by a group of people who spoiled him so much that he became the number one troublemaker in Shanghai.

Even now, though he may seem to have become much milder on the surface, his inherent arrogance remains undiminished.

Seeing that everything was alright, the young man with the buzz cut prepared to leave with the people from the Hundred Flowers Dojo.

Before leaving, he left with the comment: "The ventilation in the prison isn't very good; it's driving the inmates crazy. Remember to make some improvements."

The woman with gold-rimmed glasses: "..."

Mediterranean man: "..."

Gan!

The "geniuses" who graduate from universities in Shanghai are all equally despised! (End of Chapter)
