Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 723: Chapter 320: The Special Guest of the Heart of Myriad Spirits!_2

However, Biyao Chunshen hadn’t specified how when giving instructions, nor was it too particular about such conditions. Su Ping knew that while he wanted to do everything perfectly, capturing a fully obedient, wild, mature Water Element Qinglian of Monarch Level was highly unlikely. Plant-based Pet Beasts weren’t just resources; they were genuine living beings with self-awareness and intelligence.

"Alright, thank you, Uncle Guan. These are very important. You can go back to your business now; I will reach out if I need anything."

After giving instructions and bidding farewell to Uncle Guan, Su Ping placed the materials into the Beast Taming Space before he made his way to the Heart of Woods.

With a thought, Xiao Qing’s figure appeared beside him.

"Xiao Qing, please call for Elder Biyao Chunshen."

The swaying Xiao Qing nodded. After evolving, its connection to Biyao Chunshen had deepened, and it could naturally sense Biyao Chunshen’s presence within the Heart of Myriad Spirits.

Sure enough, a dark green shadow soon emerged.

"Elder Biyao Chunshen, have you decided on a residence during these past few days? Where should these resources and Plant-based Pet Beasts be placed?"

Biyao Chunshen casually turned its head, then one of its roots pointed directly at the ground below.

Su Ping was startled, then smiled.

"Do you want to stay at the Heart of Woods? Coincidentally, the Forest Wolf’s residence is also in the process of being relocated. I still haven’t decided what to do with the small grove that previously belonged to the Forest Wolf. If you don’t mind, Elder, you can stay here for now. Of course, I will rearrange the place."

Biyao Chunshen’s tendrils continued to sway, seemingly unconcerned.

Su Ping breathed a sigh of relief. He was eager to see what wonders and benefits would arise from Biyao Chunshen’s arrangements, especially since it had even specified the exact pattern for the layout.

Thinking of this, Su Ping exhaled. If the Forest Wolf were moved to live near the Heart of Earth, a large area within the Heart of Woods would indeed become available. Such a vast area wouldn’t be needed just for a laboratory and daily life. Even the series of facilities Su Ping had planned for his own use, such as fitness and entertainment venues, wouldn’t require so much land. Now, he suddenly had a use for it.

Su Ping once again prepared for a massive undertaking of dismantling and moving.

However, he hadn’t forgotten the proper business he had agreed to plan and arrange.

Su Ping had mentioned starting Pet Beast cultivation and evolution with Li Shu, focusing on Mist Pines, and that was about to begin.

At the same time, the ancestral evolution of Little Crow Ya Ya required special attention to gather more data, as it was the only task Ye Zhou had entrusted to him. Moreover, the process of ancestral evolution indeed held significant potential and was worth pursuing.

With this in mind, Su Ping slightly rearranged his upcoming schedule. He once again felt the pressure of time, which suddenly seemed tight. His daily schedule also regained its regularity.

However, just as Su Ping was about to take action, a very special guest arrived at the entrance of the Heart of Myriad Spirits.

The water disaster in the Eastern Sea gradually subsided. The wild Water Element Pet Beasts were no longer swarming chaotically but had reverted to their instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding harm. If their casualties became too high, they would flee and disperse. Over the past two to three days, the situation in the Eastern Sea had undoubtedly become much more relaxed.

As a result, a certain figure finally had some free time.

Indeed, the figure that now strolled into the Heart of Myriad Spirits alone, curiously looking around, was a child barely 1.2 or 1.3 meters tall. With rosy lips and pearly teeth, resembling a doll, the child was quite endearing; however, in this place, he obviously attracted a lot of attention.

Lu Heng, the retired military officer now in charge of security and Pet Beast training at the Heart of Myriad Spirits, frowned slightly upon seeing the child peering around the doorway and quickly approached.

"Kid, where did you come from? Where are your parents?"

The child showed no surprise at the man’s form of address, having grown accustomed to it.

In a childish voice, he said, "My parents left on a boat and haven’t come back yet. The neighboring uncles and aunties said my parents went to a very distant place. They said they left on a boat from here. I want to find them as well..."

The innocent voice and gaze stirred something in Lu Heng’s heart. He glanced eastward.

Of course, he knew about the recent floods. He was also aware that some Beast Tamers from Jianghai had gone hunting. And in those battles, while casualties weren’t numerous, they did occur.

Clearly, the child’s words suggested that his parents might have perished in this flood. Looking at the child before him, who clearly came from a well-off family, Lu Heng managed a rare smile.

"Little friend, if your parents come back and see you’re not at home, they will be very sad..."

"But I don’t have a home anymore..."

"Where is your home?"

Lu Heng frowned slightly.

There wasn’t the slightest fluctuation in the child’s eyes as he innocently said, "Our rent was due, and the landlord said if we didn’t pay, he wouldn’t let us stay any longer."

Lu Heng was taken aback. Rent a house? Those who could go to Crescent Island for a hunt must be quite strong, right? And registered Beast Tamers are usually quite wealthy, aren’t they? So why would they need to rent? However, he didn’t dwell on it. This child was just too disarming; he didn’t seem to be lying at all. It made Lu Heng unconsciously believe him.

After thinking it over, he nodded.

"Well then, if you have nowhere to go for the time being, you can stay here for now. But remember, don’t cause trouble! And don’t run around everywhere."

Although reason told Lu Heng it would be best to inform the civil law enforcement personnel of the Law Enforcement Office about such matters, he found his heart inexplicably softening when he saw the child’s crystal-clear, gem-like eyes. If the child were sent to the Law Enforcement Office and then to an orphanage or welfare institution, the outcome was predictable. It was hard to say if this little fellow would remain so innocent afterward.

"However, I can’t decide this matter on my own. I still need to tell Manager Guan. Follow me..."

The child followed Lu Heng to Guan Qianshan, who had just left Su Ping. Seeing Lu Heng, the trainer and security manager Su Ping relied upon heavily, return with the child after such a short while, Guan Qianshan felt rather helpless.

"Should we go and tell the boss?" Lu Heng quickly said, seeing Guan Qianshan’s helplessness. "Manager Guan, don’t worry. The kid’s living expenses can be deducted from my salary!"

However, Guan Qianshan sighed helplessly after looking at the child with bright, sparkling eyes.

"Forget it. Xiao Ping has a lot on his plate. Let’s not bother him with such a trivial matter. There are plenty of vacant rooms at the Heart of Cloud, and many spare ones in the employee dormitories. Let’s settle this little fellow there for now. Later, when Xiao Ping has time, I’ll find a moment to inform him."

"Okay!"

"Thank you, Uncle!"

The child’s eyes narrowed into two crescent moons, which improved Guan Qianshan’s mood quite a bit.

However, at this moment, neither of the two men seemed to realize something they had both overlooked: a child this old should already be in school. It was unlikely the school wouldn’t be concerned about him going missing. But evidently, at that moment, all three of them seemed to have forgotten this.

Only after the child was settled into a single suite at the Heart of Cloud and the two men had left did the child tsk. He then lay down on the soft bed, nodded in satisfaction, and habitually began to talk to himself.

"Not bad, this place is quite decent. That young fellow Su Ping certainly knows how to set things up. It’s just as well. The battle with those two brutes cost me a lot of my Origin, and Big Fish was badly injured too. I can recuperate here for now and also look into the matter of the Heart of Dreams.

By the way, did that Ghost Saint ever tell this kid or not? Why haven’t I heard anything?"
