Chapter 71 A fantasy version of extraordinary creatures called fungi? A day of ups and downs!

That leaves only the last question, which is the question on Qiao Bai's mind, how to cultivate Xiaowu's essence fire?

Qiao Bai: No inspiration.jpg

Xiao Wu also looked at Qiao Bai with dark beady eyes, full of innocence and confusion: Bird doesn't know either, and Bird works very hard.

Qiao Bai stroked the dull hair on Xiaowu's head that flickered left and right: It's okay, we still have more than half a year, we will definitely make it in time if we work hard!

If there was a time when Qiao Bai had thought that if the [Three-Legged Golden Crow] evolution route failed, he would take the [Huaguang Peacock] evolution route.

After working hard for this goal for more than half a year, Qiao Bai gave up the idea of ​​leaving a way out for himself.

As a man, you should move forward instead of always thinking about a way out!

That's what a coward thinks!

Since you have chosen this path, you must do your best and work hard to the extreme. Only then can you be worthy of your heart and Xiaowu!

Qiao Bai packed his luggage and prepared to take Xiaowu to the volcano to practice for a few days.

Although the weather has not warmed up yet, after missing the opportunity of these two months, it will be more difficult to break the limit again.

Seeing that everything was almost packed and ready to go at any time, a piece of news from Zhou Xinran broke Qiao Bai's plan.

[Zhou Xinran: I know you won’t go back to school to be my teaching assistant in the second half of the year. 】

[Qiao Bai: Hey]

[Qiao Bai: Don’t be angry, Professor Zhou, I’m busy letting Xiaowu evolve right now! Things in class are such a waste of time. 】

Thinking of when he was at Jade Bird University, Zhou Xinran disappeared every two days and left all the work to him. If Qiao Bai had any intelligence, he would know that Zhou Xinran did this on purpose.

Forget it last year.

You can’t take the initiative to send people to your doorstep to work as labor force this year, right?

[Zhou Xinran: Xiaowu Jinghuo hasn’t been cultivated yet? Cultivating Jinghuo is not an easy task. Now there is an opportunity to take you to meet seniors who have experience in this field. Do you want to go? 】

Qiao Bai: ...

Qiao Bai, who had just been saying that he would never come to Zhou Xinran's door and offered to work as free labor for Zhou Xinran, rolled up his sleeves and started typing passionately.

[Qiao Bai: Is there anything Professor Zhou needs my help with? I won't hesitate! 】

[Zhou Xinran: Humph. 】

[Zhou Xinran: Okay, okay, I won’t tease you anymore. In fact, I’m here to invite you to participate in this year’s offline academic meeting for professors, doctors and breeders in the field of pet animals in South China. You are an extremely talented person in our province. Newcomers, they can’t help but come, right? 】

[Qiao Bai:...ah? Is there such a thing? 】

[Zhou Xinran: Normally, such an event does not happen every year. It is usually held every three to five years. It has not been held for three years before. This year, Professor Wu Qingshan has developed extraordinary creatures with the ultimate defense direction. Everyone wants to get together to discuss and discuss. 】

[Zhou Xinran: Don’t even think about rejecting it. You have a part to play in this. You have to do it for me. 】

[Qiao Bai:...]

[Qiao Bai: I didn’t want to refuse, I just wanted to ask, does what you said at the beginning still count? 】

Are there any seniors who have experience in letting pet beasts cultivate essence fire... are there any?

Qiao Bai just printed out this sentence separately, enlarged it and put it in front of Zhou Xinran.

Zhou Xinran was amused and helpless.

[Zhou Xinran: Yes, yes! This really didn’t fool you! 】

In this case, everything is easy to say.

Qiao Bai decisively agreed.

You definitely can't push it away. It would be nice to take advantage of it.

The sudden change in the itinerary did not bring much trouble to Qiao Bai. He continued to practice what he should practice, but he had to go out in the middle, which was a little troublesome.

Even though the fares and air tickets could be reimbursed, they could not withstand the pain caused by Qiao Bai's motion sickness.

After arriving at the designated place, Qiao Bai dragged half a suitcase of luggage and stood at the door of a huge rural farmhouse, his expression hesitant and confused.

My head is a little dizzy.

Is this because he hasn't come to his senses yet?

Otherwise, why are you so dazzled that you see a farmhouse?

Yes.

According to the address given by Zhou Xinran, Qiao Bai arrived at a huge mountain village style resort built on the mountainside, covering an area half the size of a village.

Standing at the door, Qiao Bai hesitated. Whether to go in or not, and how to leave after entering seemed to be a problem.

Just as the message to Zhou Xinran was sent, Qiao Bai heard a rumbling sound not far away. He raised his head and squinted his eyes, and walked a few steps in. He saw a small pet beast battle battlefield.

Just like basketball courts everywhere.

In order to better entertain the beast masters, the resort has almost everywhere, large and small battlefields.

On the battlefield on the small lawn at the entrance, there were two people fighting.

The person facing Qiao Bai was a rather handsome girl with short white hair. The pet she used was a Balin turtle, which had a similar appearance to a sea turtle, but the half-long tail was more powerful than an ordinary sea turtle. Powerful, mid-level, extraordinary and low-level, it is a pet beast with pretty good defense.

And the other pet beast...

Ouchowooowowow!

Just blocked by the beast master with his back to Qiao Bai, Qiao Bai could only hear a familiar cry of milk.

Qiao Bai was stunned for a moment.

Could it be...that this is a little puppy?

The next second.

Qiao Bai saw one with dark orange skin, two thick short legs, a round belly, fleshy wings that couldn't fly after two flutters, and a fat and heavy tail. The little guy, who looks like a Western dragon, opened his bloody mouth and kept making a squealing sound as he lunged towards the Baling turtle on the opposite side.

Qiao Bai was silent for three seconds.

Um...if he admits his mistake...this pet beast should be a baby dragon, an extraordinary creature with dragon attribute, right?

Yes.

Unlike Li Gan's dragon lizard, which clearly has a dragon in its name but has nothing to do with the dragon attribute at all, the baby dragon is a true dragon attribute extraordinary creature, and it has a single dragon attribute.

After evolution, the wings on its back grew enough to support its heavy body, and its attributes correspondingly changed to dragon attributes + flying attributes.

The dragon is in front and the flying one is behind.

Being able to contract a baby dragon as a pet... Qiao Bai's eyes changed when he looked at the beastmaster who only had a back view.

This family is either rich or powerful.

Because of the rarity of extraordinary creatures with dragon attributes, the cubs of extraordinary dragon creatures are even rarer. If you want to contract a cub of extraordinary dragon creatures at the right age... if you don't have any background at home, it's all a joke.

Although it has long been known that the evolutionary path of baby dragons is single and linear.

But facing such a rare baby dragon, Qiao Bai subconsciously turned on his natural skills

[Pet beast: Baby Dragon]

[Variety: High-level, Extraordinary, Low-level]

[Level: Third level low level]

[Skills: dragon roar, dragon roar, bite, serial slap]

[Evolution route: Zhulilong → Alteron → Yargen Dragon King]

[The prerequisites for evolution have not yet been met]

[Ouch The evil dragon roars—roaring, roaring, roaring—! 】

Qiao Bai: ...

wait wait wait?

What's going on?

Just as Qiao Bai learned from books, the baby dragon is different from other extraordinary creatures. Its evolution route is unique and progressive. If the baby dragon evolves, it will definitely evolve into a Julie dragon.

Juliesaurus will definitely evolve into Altosaurus, without exception.

But based on the current evolutionary path of Baby Dragon, Altosaurus is the final form of Baby Dragon.

So...where did this Yargen Dragon King come from?

Qiao Bai: It turns out that not only is there an unknown evolutionary route, but there is also an unknown ultimate evolutionary form!

So far, humans have not discovered the evolved form of the baby dragon Yargen King. So do these dragons themselves know about it?

Just as Qiao Bai was thinking, the battle between the two people on the field ended.

The result was no surprise to Qiao Bai... the baby dragon and the Baling turtle ended in a draw.

Hmph! The girl with short white hair snorted softly: Huo Aotian, your baby dragon is only as strong as this, how dare you say that your baby dragon is the strongest.

Shut up! The boy known as Huo Aotian jumped in anger. He was so angry that he wanted to point his finger at the girl with short white hair opposite him, but in the end he remembered his good tutoring and reluctantly held back. He just shouted loudly: My The baby dragon is already the strongest! But the growth period of the baby dragon is too long, okay, Zou Tang, you still have the nerve to claim that you are a genius breeder, it’s funny!”

Well... Seeing that these two people were quarreling and not ready to fight anymore, Qiao Bai took out his phone and read the message sent by Zhou Xinran, then turned around and planned to meet Zhou Xinran.

The slight sound of the box rolling on the lawn immediately attracted the attention of the two people. They turned around and looked in Qiao Bai's direction.

Hello? Everyone saw him, so it was not good to leave right away. Qiao Bai said hello: I just came here, and when I saw someone fighting, I came over to watch out of curiosity. Didn't I disturb you? This Huo... Brother Aotian and Brother Zou Tang?”

Qiao Bai recognized Comrade Huo Aotian at a glance.

It was the boy he met in the buffer zone who was caught by poachers.

No wonder!

Qiao Bai said, why does this baby dragon look a little familiar in retrospect?

At that time, the poacher said that if he was given some time, he could break the contract between the baby dragon and the boy.

Well...there is definitely something about this name.

Huo Aotian... No, Huo Xiaotian, who was not angry at first, was so angry that he jumped up and down again: My name is Huo Xiaotian! Listen to that crazy girl's nonsense!

Hehe! Zou Tang on the side laughed: Brother, you have a vision!

Zou Tang gave Qiao Bai a thumbs up, with the attitude of As long as you and Huo Aotian don't get along, we will be good brothers!

Qiao Bai shook his head funny in his heart.

what is this?

Elementary school chicken-style disdain?

Qiao Bai didn't see any tense aura from these two people, but instead there was a different kind of familiarity.

Qiao Bai: Don’t get involved if you don’t know me

What do you call it? Thinking that Qiao Bai and she were on the same front, Zou Tang took the initiative to greet Qiao Bai and said, The hot spring resort has been booked by the South China Beast Taming Alliance and the Breeders Association this week. Brother, come here at this time. You must be here to participate in the New Year activities, too, let’s get to know each other?”

Zou Tang took the initiative to extend his hand and said to Qiao Bai with a smile: Let me introduce myself first. I am Zou Tang, this year's new trainer of the Toshiba Provincial Trainer Association.

Do you have any relationship with Mr. Zouping? Qiao Bai asked directly.

The main reason is...the surname Zou is not common, and it is even less common in the ranks of breeders.

The most famous among them is Mr. Zouping, the top breeder.

You asked so directly. Zou Tang was surprised at first, and then the smile on his face became more sincere.

Most people who hear my last name will have this idea, but you are the first to ask it so directly in front of me. Zou Tang said, shaking his white hair with a slightly uncomfortable expression. Then he said with a smile: There is a bit of blood relationship, but it's quite far away. I really have to say... he's probably a grandpa? The kind that will be released in the fifth server soon.

Zou Tang frowned, and after describing it for a long time, she finally gave up. She decisively changed the subject: I have said so much and you haven't introduced yourself yet!

Speaking of... Zou Tang touched his chin, his big cat eyes scanning Qiao Bai up and down: I don't know why, but I think you look familiar?

Qiao Bai could probably guess the reason.

In the past few days on New Year's Day, his appearance rate in everyone's Moments and videos on online marketing accounts was not very high. Zou Tang didn't recognize him at first glance because he was wearing a black mask that covered most of his face. .

I feel familiar every time. Is it possible that all the people here today are your acquaintances? Huo Ao... Huo Xiaotian was obviously irritating others for the sake of irritating them.

I'm used to asking.

But halfway through speaking, Huo Xiaotian also touched his chin: I also think your eyes seem a little familiar?

Huo Xiaotian had a pensive expression on his face.

Oh, you don't want to say that these eyes look similar to your goddess's eyes! Seizing the opportunity to counterattack, Zou Tang struck out: You have said this to several people, and now even a man Even if you don’t let it go? Is it possible that your goddess’s eyes can look like those of a man?”

Huo Xiaotian was so angry that he jumped up and down again.

Qiao Bai felt a chill in his heart.

What goddess?

What eyes?

He doesn't know anything!

It's not a good place to stay for long, it's really time to retreat.

My name is Qiao Bai. I'm an... ordinary student, right? Qiao Bai briefly introduced him, looked at Zhou Xinran walking not far away, and waved to the two of them: Stop talking, pick me up. The teacher is here, I will take the first step.

After saying that, Qiao Bai grabbed his luggage and ran away quickly as if Godzilla was chasing him behind him.

Alas! I haven't finished talking yet! Zou Tang jumped up on the spot and waved to Qiao Bai's back: I also want to leave a contact information... Maybe we can all communicate together in the next few days. …

Half thought.

Zou Tang suddenly came to his senses: Qiao Bai? Which Qiao Bai? It can't be that Qiao Bai!

Publicly thanked by Professor Wu Qingshan!

The person who proposed the concept of favorability has exploded on the Internet in just a few days - Qiao Bai!

Zou Tang: !

Damn it!

She thought again about Qiao Bai's self-introduction just now. What did she say?

Considered an... ordinary student?

Zou Tang's excited mood gradually turned to indifference. Oh, if Qiao Bai can only be called an ordinary student, then what kind of thing is she, who is known as a trainer of talented newcomers?

Is the trash recyclable?

The words of complaint were on her lips. Just when she turned around to complain to Huo Xiaotian, she unexpectedly turned around and saw Huo Xiaotian's silly expression as if he was a nymphomaniac and had fallen into the spiritual world: Hey...goddess! My goddess, too. Here you go! You can get up close and personal with the goddess!

The next second, Huo Xiaotian's expression turned twisted and jealous again, and dark and creeping: That guy! Why should he stand upright next to my goddess!

Damn it! I will definitely take his place!

Zou Tang: ...

It's hopeless, carry it away, next one.

Qiao Bai, who had already walked far away, subconsciously shuddered.

kindness.

It must be an illusion.

You didn't say anything to me when you were on the way. I'll have someone pick you up. This hot spring resort is quite big. It's easy to get lost for the first time. Zhou Xinran put his hands in his pockets and walked beside Qiao Bai with a faint smile. said.

Although the senior year of high school has started, the weather has not completely warmed up yet.

Zhou Xinran was wearing a very loose extended down jacket today, with a white bathrobe underneath. It was obvious that she was indoors before Qiao Bai arrived.

I know he's here for a meeting... but I don't know. I really thought he was here for vacation. Qiao Bai said helplessly.

Isn't this normal? Zhou Xinran shrugged, not finding anything strange at all: There aren't many opportunities for everyone to get together. It's hard to get the chance. How nice to hold this meeting comfortably.

Anyway, the Beast Taming Alliance and the Breeders Association have money, so they don't feel bad about spending it on talents. After all, the money to rent a resort can be more than the annual resource fee?

Qiao Bai: ...

It's because others are poor and short-sighted.

Then he thought about the high-end resources provided by the Beast Control Alliance for the professors of pet evolution, and then thought about the Breeders Association, which had no shortage of money... Qiao Bai suddenly ran out of ideas.

What's next?

I'll take you to your room first. The professors and doctors specializing in pet evolution from various provinces in South China have not arrived yet, and some breeders are also on the way. Zhou Xinran led Qiao Bai through the long corridor and arrived. A small courtyard with beautiful scenery, where wild charm and elegance coexist harmoniously.

I'll live here temporarily. You can just live in the room next to mine. You can go there by yourself.

Zhou Xinran quickly ran away after bringing the person there.

Qiao Bai was not surprised at all. He was not too familiar with Zhou Xinran's style and habits.

Dragging the suitcase into the house.

Qiao Bai's eyes suddenly lit up.

Although it looks like an ordinary house in the countryside from the outside, as a resort, the decorations are more refined. The cement floors, distressed white walls, mahogany beds and bright windows give it a rustic feel. It is also clean and tidy, making people who live in feel comfortable.

Putting down the suitcase, Qiao Bai released Xiaowu.

Xiaowu, who had been holding back for a long time, jumped up and down excitedly and stood firm on Qiao Bai's head. His little head shook left and right to look at the surrounding environment.

Qiao Bai steadily took out all the contents of the suitcase.

After Xiao Wu was released, his favorite place to stay changed from Qiao Bai's shoulders to his head. Qiao Bai was not sure exactly when it started. Fortunately, Xiao Wu was not heavy, and the weight of the small ball was only Little by little, he followed Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu: We’ve arrived at a new place! Birds need to be assessed for safety!

Then he looked at it... There was a bit of doubt in Xiao Doudou's black eyes.

Xiaowu: looks familiar

Has the bird been here?

No no no.

It’s the beastmaster’s former home!

Xiaowu: (ΩДΩ)

Could it be that... the birds have deprived the family? !

Xiao Wu still remembers the situation when he just made a contract with Qiao Bai and lived in the dormitory of Yanglin Village. With the free food provided by the breeding base for a year, Xiao Wu's living standard has not been greatly affected, but Qiao Bai treats him badly. There are as many provinces as possible.

After leaving Yanglin Village, Qiao Bai slowly relaxed his attitude towards spending money.

Xiaowu's IQ is not low, but there are some things that Xiaowu understands and remembers in a strange way.

For example: the beast master lives here again! The beastmaster must be out of money!

The logic chain is perfectly established!

Xiao Wu stared at Qiao Bai with tears in his eyes.

QAQ

The bird won’t eat!

Animal masters must not save money and save money to raise birds!

After a lot of communication, Qiao Bai finally understood Xiaowu's magical brain circuit and showed a dumbfounded expression: What are you thinking about? Can the environment here be compared with the staff dormitory we lived in at that time?

Xiao Wu, take a closer look.

After Qiao Bai's reminder, Xiaowu realized: Oh! It does seem to be different!

It's cleaner here!

pretty!

At first glance, they look similar, but if you look closely, the difference is quite big!

Would you like to go to the hot springs together? Thinking that he would not be in a hurry for a meeting today, Qiao Bai smiled and took out the bathrobe provided by the resort in the cabinet, shook it towards Xiaowu on his head, and said with a smile: The hot springs here should allow extraordinary creatures to enter.

after all.

Many professors and scholars who study the evolution of pet beasts are beast masters themselves.

This is especially true for breeders. If you can't breed your own pet beasts well, how can you convince others that you can breed other extraordinary creatures?

When such a group of people gather together, no matter what the facility is, consideration must be given to bringing extraordinary creatures with them.

Xiaowu, who heard about the hot spring for the first time, had an expression of excitement and curiosity on his face.

Xiao Wu: Go!

The bird wants to go!

Qiao Bai studied it for a while.

As expected of a hot spring resort, the Beast Mastering Alliance and the Breeders Association have done a great job.

Excluding open-air public hot springs.

Each room here has a separate hot spring water bath. Everyone can bring their pet animals to enjoy the private bath in the room. The size of the private bath is nearly 40 to 50 square meters, in order to accommodate most body shapes. Extraordinary creatures.

Anyone who is not a giant extraordinary creature can enjoy the comfort of the hot spring.

Qiao Bai didn't bother to think about whether someone had brought a huge pet beast. Anyway, for Xiao Wu, the size of this indoor private bath was enough for him to swim several laps in it.

Between being completely naked and wearing a bathrobe...Qiao Bai finally chose to be completely...ahem.

Private soup, private soup, why do you pay so much attention to it?

Xiaowu is still young and doesn’t understand anything!

smile.jpg

Xiaowu: (◇)?

Qiao Bai sat down against the hot spring wall.

He smiled at Xiaowu's movements.

Because it was his first time to soak in a hot spring, Xiaowu was extremely wary of the water that was filled with bubbles, heat, white smoke, and a faint smell of sulfur.

Take a look at Qiao Bai.

It seems very comfortable!

Take another look at the water... Xiao Wu carefully tested it with his little feet, and then tested it again. Feeling the hot water rippling through its paws, Xiao Wu's black bean eyes suddenly opened wide. .

So delicious!

Xiao Wu made a pop sound, and like a round black sesame-skinned glutinous rice ball, he jumped into the hot spring!

A scene that shocked Qiao Bai even more happened.

Etc., etc

Why didn't Xiao Wu float?

Qiao Bai was shocked.

Shouldn’t the weight of the bird and the special characteristics of its feathers allow the bird to float on the water? !

After waiting for about thirty seconds, Qiao Bai didn't see Xiao Wu floating up. He dived into the water without hesitation, and then... Qiao Bai pulled Xiao Wu out of the water with a dark face, turned around and put on his clothes. I put on my bathrobe and sat back in the hot spring.

Then no.

Xiaowu: well-behaved

Zhou Xinran saw Qiao Bai during dinner in the evening. She looked at Qiao Bai up and down with some curiosity, then glanced at Xiao Wu who was standing obediently on Qiao Bai's shoulder, and said in a funny way:

What's going on between you and Xiaowu? Did Xiaowu do anything bad again?

It's not like Zhou Xinran has never seen Qiao Bai taking care of Xiao Wu.

That's really... Xiaowu is not spoiled, so he should praise Xiaowu for his good nature.

Seeing Qiao Bai really angry with Xiao Wu, Zhou Xinran became curious for a moment.

Thinking of what happened at noon, Qiao Bai said: ...

...It's not a big deal. Qiao Bai, who was pointed out by Zhou Xinran, sighed helplessly.

What happened during the day was an accident, but as the child grew older, Qiao Bai felt that it was necessary for the child to learn some knowledge: It's okay, I just think that I should not only pay attention to Xiaowu's training in the future, but also strengthen Xiaowu's basic knowledge education. .

Zhou Xinran: ?

Xiaowu: ?

Everyone and Bird had the same confused expressions, as if they didn't understand why Qiao Bai's topic suddenly jumped to such a strange direction.

But when Xiaowu saw that Qiao Bai was no longer angry, he didn't care about what Qiao Bai had just said, and happily moved towards Qiao Bai.

Beast master, please post

Qiao Bai rubbed Xiaowu's head.

Why!

It is so difficult to raise a pet animal well and healthily!

Okay, it's up to you. Let's eat together. Zhou Xinran couldn't figure it out and gave up: The food here tastes pretty good, authentic, especially they have a special dish.

Qiao Bai looked at the dishes on the table curiously.

They are all farm-style dishes, including lush green vegetables, fragrant old hen soup... I guess the main focus is healthy and delicious.

But there were two dishes that Qiao Bai didn't recognize at first glance.

What are these two dishes... Qiao Bai asked, pointing to the meat and vegetables on the table.

Among them, the vegetarian dish looks like a plate of pink flowers, stir-fried. The pink color has no signs of turning gray or yellow at all, and ordinary plating cannot affect its appearance.

If you look closely at the other plate of meat dishes, it looks like fried dry and crunchy little whitebait, but the little whitebait doesn't look like this.

After identifying for a while, Qiao Bai chose to give up.

Both of these dishes are made with parts of extraordinary creatures. Zhou Xinran said slowly.

I thought I could scare Qiao Bai.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Bai's expression could not be more calm.

Zhou Xinran let out a soft tsk.

Qiao Bai: ...

Are you sure he heard Zhou Xinran tsk?

Do you really want to see him so frightened that he turns pale?

Qiao Bai rolled his eyes.

He has never eaten pork but he has seen pigs running away.

It’s not like he hasn’t heard of ducks who almost went extinct after bringing their own condiments when they appeared on stage… It’s not like he hasn’t heard of it!

But if I remember correctly, the meat of most extraordinary creatures is poisonous, right? The same goes for most plants.

Qiao Bai thought of the knowledge he had read in the book.

If the meat of extraordinary creatures could really be eaten at will... a new profit-making industry would have emerged long ago!

after all.

Human beings, especially Chinese people, have another magical instinct engraved in their bones - as long as it is edible and delicious, they will eat it!

Overpopulation of species?

does not exist!

They can eat them directly and become an endangered species!

This flower is a colorful flower of low-level extraordinary creatures. It is indeed poisonous. Zhou Xinran calmed Qiao Bai with just one sentence, and Qiao Bai's face was filled with question marks.

Zhou Xinran couldn't help but smile slightly: After ten minutes of cooking over high heat, more than 90% of the toxins will be eliminated, and the taste will become wonderful and delicious.

As long as you control the heat and don't eat it in advance, you won't get poisoned easily.

Qiao Bai: ...is this some kind of fantasy version of poisonous fungi?

What about this fish? Qiao Bai pointed to another plate of meat dishes. The vegetarian dishes were poisonous. This meat dish... Qiao Bai didn't believe it was nothing.

This. Zhou Xinran took a look and said, This is also an egg produced by a male transparent fish, a low-level extraordinary creature. It is not poisonous and has a great taste. It is loved by many people!

The male fish lays... eggs? Questions almost appeared on Qiao Bai's face.

Xiaowu, who stood on Qiao Bai's head and understood, looked at the plate of small fish with shock in his eyes.

Xiao Wu: Amazing! Amazing!

Zhou Xinran smiled again: It's not the kind of eggs you imagined. It's... a method used by male transparent fish to court females. The more eggs it can produce, the better the male fish's health, and the better the female fish. They will favor it, but in fact these small fish are some kind of incarnation of the crystallization of the male fish's power, so they don't have any toxins.

It’s another day to marvel at the wonders of nature’s creatures.

Qiao Bai shook his head and finally tasted these two special dishes.

have to say.

To be able to become the signature dishes of a resort, these two dishes really have something to offer!

The colorful red flowers are refreshing and delicious when eaten in your mouth. They have a slightly sweet taste and are very delicious. The back of your tongue is still a little numb when you swallow it.

The small eggs of the transparent fish melt in your mouth and are so delicious that your body feels relaxed the moment you swallow them.

The other dishes were not finished, but with the joint efforts of Zhou Xinran, Qiao Bai and Xiao Wu, these two dishes were eaten cleanly, and the plates were as clean as new.

Xiaowu, you licked the plate too clean. Leaning on the chair, Qiao Bai looked at Xiaowu jokingly with a smile.

Xiaowu: !

slander!

It's all slander!

This lady would never be so rude when eating!

It's obviously eaten by the beast master!

Ah? Xiaowu, you said you will pay attention to it in the future, right? Okay. Qiao Bai pretended not to understand Xiaowu's eyes, and stretched out his hand to touch Xiaowu's dull hair.

Xiaowu:  ̄へ ̄

Angry!

very angry!

Don't touch me!

The beastmaster is bad!

Seeing that Qiao Bai was still in the mood to joke with the pet beast, a malicious smile appeared on Zhou Xinran's face: Have a good rest tonight, it will be your turn to appear tomorrow!

After speaking, Zhou Xinran waved her hand, turned around and walked away the next second.

Qiao Bai: ???

etc?

Why will there be something about him tomorrow?

Aren’t all the big guys here?

What's the matter...it's not an ordinary person like him's turn, right?

Zhou Xinran: Ha

Zou Tang: Oh

Huo Xiaotian: Goddess!

the next day.

At night, Qiao Bai thought he would not be able to sleep.

In fact, Qiao Bai fell asleep quickly, and the quality of his sleep was not very good.

When he went out, Qiao Bai hesitated for two seconds and still didn't put on a mask. After all, there were famous professors and breeders of pet evolution everywhere, so there was no need to wear a mask.

Zhou Xinran showed him the place where everyone had a meeting when he came in yesterday.

It is the central hall of this resort, and it is also the most conspicuous building here. It can be seen anywhere, and it is basically impossible to get lost.

Qiao Bai strode towards that direction.

As they walked, they met Huo Xiaotian and Zou Tang who were also heading towards the hall.

Zou Tang's special hair color stood out among the crowd.

She and Huo Xiaotian followed a middle-aged man who was 1.9 meters tall and walked with an imposing manner.

At the same time that Qiao Bai noticed the two of them, Zou Tang and Huo Xiaotian also saw Qiao Bai.

Zou Tang excitedly waved his hand towards Qiao Bai: Qiao Bai!

Qiao Bai!

What Qiao Bai didn't expect was that Huo Xiaotian, who didn't seem to be dealing with him very well yesterday, actually waved to him excitedly.

Qiao Bai was confused.

Did something happen somewhere that he didn't know he didn't know about?

The middle-aged man walking in front of Zou Tang and Huo Xiaotian also turned around and glanced at Qiao Bai after hearing Qiao Bai's name. Looking at Qiao Bai's too young age, his eyes showed a hint of surprise. , and then became vigilant.

Qiao Bai could tell at a glance that this man was related to Huo Xiaotian: ?

no?

Why would this... Huo Xiaotian's father, or uncle, look at him with such vigilant eyes?

Qiao Bai couldn't figure it out.

Zou Tang and Huo Xiaotian were already running in the direction of Qiao Bai one after another. The man who was still looking at Qiao Bai with vigilant eyes just now had no intention of stopping them and allowed them to run towards Qiao Bai. .

You ran away without even exchanging contact information yesterday. I thought I would have to wait until the meeting started before I could meet you today. I didn't expect that we are so destined. Zou Tang walked to Qiao Bai and said with a smile.

A pair of big cat eyes were full of curiosity about Qiao Bai.

She put her hands behind her back, approached Qiao Bai and asked, Qiao Bai, Qiao Bai, you are the Qiao Bai that Professor Wu Qingshan thanked, right?

Qiao Bai nodded.

I knew it! Although he had guessed it a long time ago, after getting the affirmative answer from Qiao Bai himself, Zou Tang couldn't help but waved his fist a few times in excitement.

Qiao Bai: I am very grateful that my discovery has helped Professor Wu Qingshan, but in fact it is not worth showing off...

Wait. Zou Tang stretched out his hand to stop what Qiao Bai had said before he could say it.

She looked at Qiao Bai with a pair of clear cat eyes: Are you pretending to be humble? Or do you really think so? Why is this something not worth being proud of?

If it were me, I would be so proud! As he said this, Zou Tang raised his hands excitedly, and his expression was extremely high.

Huo Xiaotian also nodded repeatedly: Excessive modesty is pride.

But...I'm really not being modest. Qiao Bai said sincerely.

Zou Tang and Huo Xiaotian, who have never been on the same front, have a subtle overlap in mentality at this moment.

The two people looked at each other and found similar thoughts in each other's eyes: This guy really deserves a beating!

As if he knew what they were thinking, Qiao Bai said funnyly: Okay, okay, I understand. I will pay attention to it in the future and will not say such things casually in front of other people.

Well... after all, the trick he played was his innate skill, so there was no problem with his own ability at all.

He readily accepts compliments from others.

Qiao Bai: Instantly swelled with pride! (bushi)

After hearing what Qiao Bai said, Huo Xiaotian and Zou Tang both showed a somewhat surprised expression, and then they patted Qiao Bai's shoulders simultaneously, one on the left and the other on the right.

Since you said so, we will be good friends from now on!

Although it makes me uncomfortable that you act together with my goddess, I accept you as my brother!

The two said in unison.

Before Qiao Bai said anything, Huo Xiaotian and Zou Tang faced each other first.

Obviously I came first! Qiao Bai and I have a better relationship!

Ha! Qiao Bai is my goddess's student and is my...brother! Can he be the same as you!

Fart! Your goddess doesn't even know you!

Sooner or later I will catch up with the goddess!

Qiao Bai, who was caught in the middle: wanted to escape, but couldn't.

Listen to them talking about a friend, a brother, a goddess...

Qiao Bai's mentality fluctuated momentarily——!

besides!

What did I say? Don't just think of yourself as a brother. Ask me... Qiao Bai was interrupted by two people before he could finish his words.

I understand you! Brother, this is who you are!

It doesn't matter if you're not used to taking the initiative, I'll do it!

Qiao Bai sighed.

He had a tiring day yesterday.

Because today's meeting started, it would be a serious day, but when he turned to look at Huo Xiaotian, then turned to look at Zou Tang... Qiao Bai gave up.

It's messed up, whatever.

The three people walked through the not-so-narrow corridor, squeezing each other, and Qiao Bai, who was caught in the middle, had to push the two people away from time to time, so as not to feel uncomfortable.
