Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger - Chapter 258 - 169: If Violent Cloud Sparrows Joined the Establishment_3
“Aww~”
The petite Cloud Fox nodded along, its fluffy long tail gently swaying.
It also wanted a new companion.
“Awesome, the esteemed mid-level Beastmaster.” Zhang Hao couldn’t help but give a thumbs up, then instinctively glanced at Li Qing who was quietly sitting there.
“Don’t look at her, she became a mid-level Beastmaster before me and has already contracted a new Pet Beast.” Yang Yue chuckled, “And it’s a Snake Pet Beast.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao couldn’t help but mutter under his breath, “Two snakes, they’re practically Yuan’s ultimate nemesis.”
Chen Yuan’s fear of snakes is something Zhang Hao has been teasing him about since childhood.
“You guys sit tight for a bit, I’ll contact Yuan.”
Half an hour later,
Chen Yuan strode into the courtyard, and Yang Yue and Li Qing promptly stood up, nodding in greeting: “Advisor Chen.”
The last time they saw Chen Yuan was at the Taibai Cup, where his outstanding performance left a deep impression, engendering respect for this mysterious farm owner.
This respect led to a shift in their status and mindset, making it impossible for them to treat Chen Yuan, who’s now considered Baokun City’s top Beastmaster, the way they did before.
Facing someone with higher status and stronger abilities, who also has a considerable online following, they couldn’t remain completely at ease.
Perceiving their peculiar thoughts, Chen Yuan joked, “It’s only been a short while since we’ve seen each other, why the formal title? Just use my name.”
Sensing Chen Yuan’s reaction, Yang Yue relaxed and cheekily said, “Advisor Chen is just so catchy, we’ve gotten used to it.”
Li Qing nodded lightly in agreement.
“Aww~”
At this moment, the Cloud Fox noticed the Twin Flower Concubine perched on Chen Yuan’s shoulder, its eyes sparkling.
“Hello there, little one.”
Chen Yuan greeted the Cloud Fox, but its attention was entirely fixated on the Twin Flower Concubine, completely ignoring him.
The charm of the Twin Flower Concubine isn’t limited to Pet Beasts; even humans can be captivated by its extraordinary beauty.
Yang Yue had already taken out her phone, turning on selfie mode, attempting to take a picture with the Twin Flower Concubine.
Li Qing seemed comparatively reserved but kept her gaze fixed on the Twin Flower Concubine.
“Hiss~”
Suddenly, a small green head popped out from Li Qing’s backpack, curiously examining the Twin Flower Concubine.
Chen Yuan quietly took a step back.
There it was!
His ultimate nemesis, the terrifying being he couldn’t face head-on—Snake Pet Beast.
Zhang Hao grinned mischievously and said, “Li Qing, didn’t you contract a second Pet Beast? Let it out for us to see.”
Li Qing didn’t quite understand but nodded anyway, then unzipped her backpack, letting out two slender figures, which entwined around her arms, one on each side.
Chen Yuan retreated again.
One figure was the familiar Scaly Green Snake, which had grown longer with more vibrant green scales compared to before.
The other figure was covered in semi-transparent blue scales with a wave-like water pattern on its forehead.
Ripple Shadow Snake, Water-type Pet Beast.
This Pet Beast was quite special, its scales would change color with emotions: deep blue like the ocean when alert, light green like a stream when calm.
Seeing Chen Yuan’s reaction, Li Qing blinked and instinctively said, “So you fear snakes.”
“Ahem.” Yang Yue coughed a few times, offering a more tactful remark, “Looks like deploying Snake Pet Beasts puts you at an advantage against Advisor Chen.”
Chen Yuan spoke softly, “I fear snakes, but they don’t fear me.”
“Chirp!”
“Howl!”
Spark spread its wings, while Cola raised its head to howl, causing the two small snakes to shiver.
Yang Yue fell briefly silent.
Zhang Hao smirked but quickly changed the subject: “Yuan, where are those Violent Cloud Sparrows? They want to rent two.”
Chen Yuan clapped his hands: “You can all come in.”
With those words, a group of Violent Cloud Sparrows lined up and flew into the courtyard, and with a command from their leader, they landed uniformly in front of everyone.
“Count off,” Chen Yuan instructed.
“Chirp!” The first Violent Cloud Sparrow immediately replied.
“Chirp chirp!” The second answered next.
…
“Chirp chirp chirp chirp…”
After the count ended, all the Violent Cloud Sparrows fixed their gazes on Chen Yuan. The orderly lineup and disciplined responses made one question whether they were truly the notoriously temperamental Violent Cloud Sparrows.
The three stared blankly at this scene, and after a while, Zhang Hao asked in a tone full of admiration: “Yuan, did you give them military training?”
Chen Yuan smiled slightly, “Just a bit of basic training.”
Having the Violent Cloud Sparrows work for food was initially a whimsical thought, meant to help them through a period of food scarcity, but Chen Yuan saw it as an opportunity.
Nowadays, more and more people are discussing how humans and Pet Beasts can coexist harmoniously.
There are fire departments recruiting Water-type Pet Beasts, training them as little firefighters; police departments employing canine Pet Beasts, recognized for their search and capture abilities…
Unknowingly, Pet Beasts have started appearing in various industries, becoming closely connected to everyday life.
Although Violent Cloud Sparrows are wild Pet Beasts and highly temperamental, this opportunity could allow more people to understand this Pet Beast better.
It’s the perfect example of harmonious coexistence between humans and Pet Beasts.
With this idea in mind, Chen Yuan trained the Violent Cloud Sparrows in the shortest possible time, to serve clients as effectively as possible.
“You can pick two,” Chen Yuan said.
“I’ll go first.” Yang Yue stepped forward eagerly, examining the Violent Cloud Sparrows, finally pointing to the leader, “That one!”
She clearly remembered that it was the one that squawked the loudest and chased the hardest.
