Beast taming, starting from zero point-Chapter 216 - 206 Youre so grown up now
Chapter 216: Chapter 206 You’re so grown up now!
Chapter 216 -206 You’re so grown up now!
After communicating with Shuilu Yana, Qiao Sang returned to her room too excited to fall asleep.
Although she hadn’t formed a contract yet, she was 60% closer to making one. At the very least, Shuilu Yana was willing to accept her.

There’s a saying that acceptance is the beginning of change.
To be in close contact with Shuilu Yana in the future, thinking about the next 40% of the progress, Qiao Sang brought her laptop to bed and started looking up Shuilu Yana’s preferences while leaning against the headboard.
An hour later.
“Sigh…” Qiao Sang pinched the bridge of her nose, her face full of collagen showing a hint of fatigue.
It wasn’t that searching was tiresome, but it was a bit disheartening to spend so long without finding a single piece of useful information.
There was so much information on the internet that she thought she would certainly come across some valid tips. But it turned out she overestimated netizens’ understanding of endangered pet beasts.
Forget about self-media people posting related articles; there were hardly any posts discussing Shuilu Yana.
The latest discussion post was from a year ago by a netizen whose ID was all numbers.
#How to find Shuilu Yana blending into the water around it#
There was only one reply beneath it, and it was from the poster themselves.
[Kneeling for a reply from the masters, willing to like as a token of gratitude]
Even with such humility, still, no one cared to respond.
Qiao Sang thought about it, opened the forum, and decided to post herself.
To avoid the situation of the numeric ID user from a year ago, she came up with an eye-catching title for the post.
#I’ve personally seen Shuilu Yana, really, at 5:46:32 AM on August 28th this year#
There were plenty of people with nocturnal habits, and the title successfully sparked the netizens’ curiosity.
[5:46:32 AM on August 28th, wasn’t that just a minute ago?]
[Shuilu Yana?! What does it look like?]
[Never heard of it. What kind of pet beast is that?]
[Same question]
[The name has ‘water’ in it, so let me have a wild guess – it must be a water-type pet beast]
Not bad, there was interest now.
To prevent the post from sinking, Qiao Sang started typing.
[It’s a water-type pet beast from the Ancient Mist Region that’s nearing extinction, very remarkable. You guys can look it up]
Immediately, there were discussions below.
[Damn! It’s a treasure of our Ancient Mist Region!]
[I think the poster has used up all her lifetime luck!]
[Ahhh, I looked it up! It is exactly in line with my aesthetics!]
[Did you take a picture? Share a photo!]
[With such an opportunity right in front of you, you should capture it]
Qiao Sang took the chance to reply:
[I wish I could, but my Beast Taming Codex doesn’t have any spare contract pages left. Does anyone know what Shuilu Yana likes? I think it’s fated for me and Shuilu Yana, so I’d like to be prepared for the next encounter]
[You must be dreaming]
[I seriously doubt the poster isn’t tricking us]
[Indeed, if you did encounter it, even if you didn’t have a blank contract page, wouldn’t you capture it by other means?]
[Previous comment, your idea is dangerous]
[You guys don’t know this, but Shuilu Yana has the skill to meld with water. Even if you wanted to capture it, you wouldn’t be able to]
Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up as she read the latest comment. She didn’t expect to encounter a netizen who was knowledgeable about Shuilu Yana so quickly!
She checked the ID: Ren Woshui.
Many netizens continued to comment.
[Good lord, a meld-with-water trait, doesn’t that make it invincible in water battles?]
[Meld-with-water trait? What’s its function? Just like it sounds?]
Ren Woshui replied:
[The meld-with-water trait isn’t much of a big deal. Although it can merge into water, Shuilu Yana as a species loves cleanliness. If you confirm its presence in water, you don’t need to go out of your way to search. Just pollute the water source, and it’ll surely come out]
Qiao Sang paused for a moment; she didn’t know this. It seemed like this Ren Woshui knew quite a lot about Shuilu Yana.
Ren Woshui continued to post:
[I don’t know where the poster saw Shuilu Yana, but there are less than a hundred of them left worldwide. It’s everyone’s responsibility to protect endangered pet beasts. I hope the poster will inform us so I can do my part]
[I can hear your abacus clacking all the way from Lian Ke Area.]
[I heard it too, over in the Yuhua Region.]
[And I heard it from my own bathroom.]
Qiao Sang quickly opened a browser to search for the street names in a certain city within the Ancient Mist Region, then returned to the forum to type:
[I won’t hide it from everyone, it’s at the west gate of the wetland park on Shuwu Street in Gongcheng, just head straight along the road for about 50 meters.]
[The poster is straightforward, any groups wanting to go?]
[Great, it’s only 3089 kilometers away from me.]
[Great, 910 kilometers away, I can get there in 13 hours and 46 minutes riding a Round-head Eagle.]
[Am I the only one curious as to why the poster would be out there at 5 in the morning?]
Qiao Sang ignored the other commenters and directly addressed Ren Wo Shui:
[You seem to know a lot about Shuilu Yana, @Ren Wo Shui]
Ren Wo Shui: [I’m majoring in Wild Pet Beast Conservation, which primarily deals with endangered wild Pet Beasts.]
Well then, she actually ran into someone with such a niche major.
Qiao Sang hurriedly clawed at the keyboard.
[Then do you know what Shuilu Yana likes, or in which direction it should be cultivated for the best results?]
Without a contract, everything about Shuilu Yana had to be asked about online. The allure of endangered Pet Beasts to a Beast Tamer was like the pull of the North Pole on a compass needle; they were not to be casually wagered.
Even though there was a vice principal with profound knowledge around her in real life, Qiao Sang didn’t think about bringing it up in front of him.
After all, she had seen numerous forum posts where people turned on each other over the ownership of some rare Pet Beast in the Secret Realm.
The netizen called Ren Wo Shui posted continuously one minute later.
[Shuilu Yana likes clean water sources, and I’m not sure about the cultivation direction. However, a very important reason why it’s nearly extinct is because it’s very difficult for them to evolve; they can’t break through to a higher life level, resulting in the species generally having short lifespans.]
[Depending on its personality, Shuilu Yana evolves into different forms of Binglu Qia. If the personality is stubborn, naive, cheerful, impetuous, mischievous, brave, or straightforward, it will evolve into a high-profile appearance. If the personality is prone to loneliness, sluggish, timid, gentle, calm, restrained, cautious, or serious, it’ll evolve into a low-profile appearance.]
[Apart from personality determining the form, there’s another very important evolutionary condition: it must experience a soul-crushing heartbreak in the rain, and only the emotional force generated internally from the heartbreak can promote its evolution.]
[The Shuilu Yana species has high standards and rarely takes a liking to other Pet Beasts. When cultivating it, one must constantly observe its emotions and always be prepared with a Pet Beast that possesses the Rain Prayer Skill. Otherwise, if it’s lucky enough to experience heartbreak on a day without rain, it’s basically impossible to wait for a second chance at heartbreak within its lifetime.]
Qiao Sang stared at the post for a while in shock.
She had no idea there were such bizarre evolution conditions in this world… it was indeed a learning experience…
All of a sudden, Qiao Sang recalled something and typed:
[What’s the lifespan of Shuilu Yana?]
Ren Wo Shui: [Seven years.]
Qiao Sang took a deep breath. No wonder Shuilu Yana were endangered Pet Beasts; even after being protected by the Alliance, their numbers remained low. With such a short lifespan and such absurd conditions for evolution, it was exceedingly difficult.
However, the research capability of the Alliance was formidable indeed… to have figured out such evolution conditions…
…
She chatted online until the sun came up, and Yaobao still hadn’t woken up.
Qiao Sang put on clothes, tied her hair into a ponytail, and, yawning with fatigue, came out to the courtyard.
“Shuilu Yana, are you awake?” Qiao Sang called out as she walked to the pond.
“Lulu.” Shuilu Yana’s head popped out of the water.
Qiao Sang was startled, having grown accustomed to being ignored by Shuilu Yana, she found it quite unusual to have it respond at her first call…
Looking at the Shuilu Yana in the pond, Qiao Sang cleared her throat and said, “To better train you going forward, I need to know how old you are first.”
“Lulu.”
Without suspicion, Shuilu Yana disclosed its age.
Qiao Sang: “…”
The pain of not having a contract became apparent, as she couldn’t understand a word!
Just as Qiao Sang was about to call for Xiao Xunbao, the Treasure-seeking Ghost, to translate, Shuilu Yana seemed to realize she couldn’t understand. It jumped out of the pond, sat down with its tail propped on the ground, and extended two front paws to show seven short toes.
Qiao Sang: “!!!”
“What?! You’re already that old!” Qiao Sang exclaimed in shock.
She had never imagined Shuilu Yana was already seven years old! Doesn’t that mean if it doesn’t evolve soon, it’ll die!
“Lulu?”
Shuilu Yana looked puzzled.
Is seven months a long time?
