Beast Taming Starts from Zero

Chapter 1488 The Poison-Free Manor

The room fell silent for a moment. After a dozen seconds, Qiao Sang asked:

"Weren't you going to break up? Why didn't you just have your fellow patient pass on the message that you wanted to break up?"

Honestly, she never imagined that Jiu Bugu's actions would be so outrageous. Even someone as intelligent as Gangbao might not have thought of such a method.

Gangbao glanced silently at his own beast tamer.

"Investigate further."

Jiu Bugu sighed heavily and called out, indicating that you don't know, it wouldn't believe it if I hadn't come to it in person to tell it.

Qiao Sang then asked, "Why didn't you ask your fellow patient to call the Smiling Night Spirit and have it come to see you directly?"

"Investigate further."

Jiu Bugu sighed heavily again and called out, indicating that I, from a hundred years ago, am still here. As long as Xiaoyan Yeling contacts me from a hundred years ago, it will not believe what the patient said.

Qiao Sang remained silent for a long while before asking, "I remember your goal was to break up early. Now, even if you contact Xiaoyan Yeling, what's the point?"

Moreover, she contacted Xiaoyan Yeling through a fellow patient. If that patient had really been seeking revenge for a hundred years, she genuinely felt it would be better not to meet her.

If the Smiling Night Spirit knew that the person demanding repayment from her was because of a single sentence from Jiu Bugu's time travel, she was genuinely worried that Jiu Bugu would get a beating in the past.

"Investigate further."

Jiu Bugu looked out the window, his gaze filled with memories and deep affection.

It would be good to take another look at it.

Qiao Sang: "."

Hopeless.

"Search."

Little Treasure covered its mouth with its two paws, its two exposed eyes filled with emotion.

Suddenly, Michaela spoke up: "I changed my phone number a hundred years ago."

"Investigate further."

"Investigate further."

Jiu Bu Gu barked twice to indicate that it remembered, so it gave the patient two numbers, one from a hundred years ago and one from a hundred years later. I told it to call the latter number after the Star Cup.

Michaela: "."

"It's kind of you to think of everything so thoroughly," Michaela said with a complicated expression.

"Teacher, do you remember someone calling you asking for medical expenses?" Qiao Sang asked.

Michaela thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "At the time, I was preparing for the Star Cup and blocked all calls from unknown numbers."

She paused for a moment, then added, "After the StarCraft Cup, many media outlets wanted to interview me, so I changed my number. Later, I don't know how, my number was leaked, so I continued to block all unknown numbers."

"Maybe it was because of this fellow patient of Jiu Bugu that his number was leaked," Qiao Sang thought to herself, then looked at Jiu Bugu and asked:

"Professor Michaela has blocked all the phone numbers. Is it still possible to find your fellow patients' contact information?"

"Investigate further."

Jiu Bugu nodded.

It memorized the patient's phone number.

Qiao Sang: "."

Michaela: "."

Michaela asked with a slight headache, "Do you want to contact your fellow patient now?"

"Investigate!"

Jiu Bugu's eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously.

It needs to make contact!

Qiao Sang asked, "Were your fellow patients human or pets? It's been a hundred years now, could they be gone by now?"

"Investigate further."

Jiu Bugu called out, indicating that the other party was an Emperor-level dragon-type pet beast, and it was impossible for it not to be there after only a hundred years.

Michaela paused for a moment, then frowned and asked in confirmation, "An Emperor-level Dragon-type pet?"

"Investigate further."

Jiu Bugu nodded.

"Where did all these Emperor-level dragon-type pets come from?" Qiao Sang couldn't help but ask. "Could it be one of those two Emperor-level dragon-type pets that were fighting?"

"Investigate further."

Jiu Bugu nodded.

As Qiao Sang thought to herself.

Michaela's eyelids twitched: "You let an Emperor-level dragon-type pet collect a debt from the Laughing-Eyed Night Spirit that has lasted for a hundred years?"

"Pfft." Penjiamei suddenly exclaimed, indicating that it was fortunate that you left Tianyuan Star not long after the competition, otherwise these past hundred years might have been spent collecting debts from you.

That makes perfect sense. Michaela felt incredibly fortunate at that moment.

Although he had the money for medical expenses, under those circumstances, he would never have believed that Jiu Bugu was hospitalized. He would have thought the other party was a liar and ignored it. The Emperor-level dragon-type pet beast also felt that he wanted to renege on his debt. If he did not leave Tianyuan Star, they might have formed a century-old feud.

Qiao Sang looked at Jiu Bu Gu.

"Indeed."

Jiu Bugu also realized something was wrong, and with a thoughtful expression, he called out, implying that his fellow patients probably wouldn't be so idle as to go around collecting debts every day.

"You really deserved to be dumped," Qiao Sang said, unable to bear it any longer.

"You should contact it quickly, maybe it has changed its number."

"Investigate further."

Jiu Bugu nodded, then looked at his own beast tamer.

Michaela paused for a moment, then handed the phone to it.

Jiu Bugu took the phone, pressed the number he knew, and dialed it.

The phone rang, but it wasn't a disconnected number.

Jiu Bugu's eyes lit up, and his heart beat faster involuntarily.

The call was answered shortly afterward.

"Jiujiu!" Jiu Bugu quickly called out.

"Meteor!!!"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by an angry roar.

The sound was so loud that Josan and Michaela could also hear the commotion on the other end of the phone.

It's important to know that the cell phones specially manufactured by the Imperial Beast Taming Academy have such good sound insulation that even an S-rank beast tamer standing nearby would have virtually no chance of hearing them.

"Investigate, investigate."

Jiu Bugu gave an apologetic look and explained the whole story.

It's unclear whether the pet on the other end of the phone listened or not; this time, Qiao Sang didn't hear anything from the other end.

"Investigate!"

Jiu Bugu didn't know what he heard, but he showed an excited expression, shouted, and then hung up the phone.

"What did they say?" Michaela asked.

“Jiujiu,” Jiu Bugu called out.

It tells me to go find it now.

“Where is it now?” Michaela asked again.

“Jiujiu.” Jiu Bugu called out. Feng Kingdom.

Feng Kingdom, a human nation, is known for its strong culture of coordination and has produced many famous coordinators. It is considered a relatively well-known coordination nation on the entire Tianyuan Star. After recalling relevant information, Qiao Sang thought of something and said:

"Does it mean you have to go there now? Can you go later? I have some things to do in Yuan Kingdom."

Michaela added, "Gorilla needs to soak in the energy pool here for a while."

"Investigate further."

Jiu Bu Gu didn't want to wait even a moment longer. It barked once to indicate that it was alright and that they didn't need to worry about it. It told them to go about their business and that Mei Mei could take it there.

After saying that, he looked at Penjami.

Penjami: "."

"Alright, the opponent is an Emperor-level Dragon-type pet. If he wants to beat up Jiu Bugu because of a hundred-year-old debt, with Meimei around, he won't get beaten too badly." Thinking of this, Michaela turned to look at Penjami and said:

"Why don't you go with it? Come back soon."

"Spray spray."

Penjami nodded helplessly.

Soon, Penjami completed its positioning, its eyes glowing blue, and it disappeared from the spot with Jiu Bugu.

"Teacher, aren't you coming with me?" Qiao Sang said, "Actually, I can just take Gang Bao to soak in the energy pool."

What are you going there for? To embarrass yourself? Michael said without changing his expression, "I can't handle this myself. Your matter is more important."

After saying that, he picked up his phone, checked the time, and asked:

"Should we go soak in the energy pool now, or rest for a bit first?"

Qiao Sang looked at Gang Bao and asked, "What are you thinking?"

"Steel Power".

Steel Treasure called out calmly.

It wants to go now.

Five minutes later, a group of figures appeared out of thin air in a huge valley.

The valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the sky is overcast, and there is a faint purple mist in the air. Many poisonous pets peek out from the trees or grass, making it look a bit like the Valley of Terror in the movie.

"Qingqing."

Qingbao covered her nose, looked around in disgust, and exclaimed, indicating that if she had known it was like this, she wouldn't have come.

"Teeth."

Upon hearing this, Ya Bao looked around at the surroundings and exclaimed, "What's wrong with this place? It's fine."

Just then, a frog-like pet, mostly purple in color, suddenly jumped out of the grass and let out a cry:

"Hu Hu?"

Who are you? What are you doing here?

"Do you know how to get to the Unpoison Manor?" Qiao Sang asked.

According to information from the school's official website, the Royal-level Energy Pool is located in the Non-Poison Manor. To prevent damage to the energy pool, the location of the Non-Poison Manor is blocked and cannot be directly located. Once you arrive at the corresponding location, a poison-type pet will come out to help guide you, which is probably this one.

"Hu Hu?" the purple frog-like pet asked again.

Who are you?

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter floated forward, head held high, with a confident air that said, "Don't you recognize me?"

The purple frog-like pet glanced at it, then looked away and turned its gaze back to the human who had first spoken to it.

Little Treasure Hunter: "."

“We are from the Imperial Beast Taming Academy,” Josang replied.

The purple frog-like pet stopped talking and stared at her.

What's going on? Did I answer something wrong? Or is this pet not the one that leads the way? A series of thoughts flashed through Qiao Sang's mind.

In a flash of thought, Michaela pulled a large amount of Alliance Coins from his pocket and handed it over, saying calmly:

"Take us to the Unpoison Manor."

"Hu hu~"

The purple frog-like pet immediately smiled, took the Alliance Coin, croaked, indicating to follow me, and then hopped ahead to lead the way.

Qiao Sang: "."

Josan, Michaela, and Ya Bao followed the purple frog-like pets through a forest filled with poisonous pets and purple mist, until they arrived at the outside of an exquisite manor.

"Hu Hu".

The purple frog-like pet let out a cry to indicate that you had arrived, then turned and hopped away.

This is the Unpoisonous Manor. Josan looked around the manor and stepped inside.

Inside, there were all sorts of precious flowers and plants, all of which looked poisonous.

After passing through the front yard filled with flowers and plants, we arrived at the living room of the main building of the manor.

A toad-like pet, mostly purple in color, walked over and called out:

"Salt?"

"My name is Qiao Sang, and I'm a student at the Imperial Beast Taming Academy," Qiao Sang said. "I'm here to soak in the energy pool."

After saying that, he took out his campus card and handed it over.

"Salt."

The toad-like pet, mostly purple in color, took the campus card, barked once, and indicated that it would wait.

After saying that, he turned and walked inside.

"Are all these places managed by poison-type pets?" Qiao Sang looked around at the surroundings again and asked curiously.

“There should be someone,” Michaela said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the purple toad-like pet that had left earlier led a man who looked to be in his forties back over.

"You must be Qiao Sang." The uncle walked over and said with shining eyes, "I've watched your competition. You're only 18 years old and you've already become an A-level Beastmaster and won the Master Challenge. That's really amazing."

It's rare for anyone to recognize me on Tianyuan Star. Qiao Sang said modestly, "Not at all, it's all thanks to Teacher Michaela's excellent teaching."

Michaela straightened his back slightly and smiled.

She found those words very agreeable.

The middle-aged man turned his head and looked over, saying warmly to Michaela, "To be qualified to be Josan's mentor, you must be a very accomplished senior."

Michaela smiled slightly, about to say something.

The middle-aged man suddenly looked thoughtful and said, "You look familiar, like I've seen you somewhere before."

As he spoke, he asked, "Have you participated in the Star Cup before?"

Michaela's face suddenly stiffened, but he quickly recovered and said, "That was a long time ago."

After saying that, he quickly changed the subject: "The one who needs to soak in the energy pool is this Steel Power Emperor. Please lead the way."

"Okay, okay, okay." The uncle's gaze fell on Gangbao, and as if he had thought of something, his eyes lit up. He said "okay" three times and then began to lead the way.

“The environment of our Royal-level Energy Pool is a bit different from other energy pools.” The uncle led the way while chatting, “As you know, this is Yuan Kingdom, and there are bound to be some poison-type pets. If you see some poison-type pets around when you’re soaking in the energy pool, don’t worry about them. The poison-type pets here know the rules and won’t enter the energy pool casually.”

"Salt." A toad-like pet, mostly purple in color, suddenly called out from the side, indicating that a poisonous pet had accidentally gone in before and burst, spending several months in the Beast Taming Center before recovering. Therefore, no poisonous pets have been allowed to go in since.

The uncle laughed and said, "After all, it's a royal-level energy pool. This is what happens when pets that aren't high enough level go in."

"Are your energy pools outdoors?" Josang asked.

"It's open-air, but the entire royal-level energy pool is protected, so you don't need to worry about outsiders breaking in," the uncle said.

Qiao Sang's ears twitched, and she asked, "Does the Unpoison Manor have any other business on a regular basis? I think I heard some other people's voices."

The middle-aged man seemed to have been waiting for her to ask this question, and eagerly shared:

"The Royal-level Energy Pool is formed naturally only once every hundred years. We are just looking after it. The main business of the Poisonless Manor is some hot spring pools with detoxification effects. If you soak in the detoxification hot spring pool for a period of time, you can remove the toxins from your body and become immune to all poisons for a period of time."

"Huh?" Qiao Sang asked, "If you can't even find this location, how did others find it?"

"We only serve high-level individuals and pets with certain assets, and we have corresponding channels to notify them." The man paused and said:

"We've arrived." (End of Chapter)
