Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger - Chapter 358 - 200: Trust Advisor Chen, Trust the Flame Cloud Falcon (Part 2)
“I took her to the hospital for a checkup, and the doctor said she was very healthy, no issues at all.”
At this point, Huo Hong pursed his lips, his tone hesitant: “It’s just that her appetite is too big, so she…”
“Master, there’s nothing embarrassing about it,” Mei didn’t seem to share Huo Hong’s hesitation, “It’s just that my parents divorced, and they’re busy taking care of their new families, so they don’t have time for me.”
“Instead of staying at home and not getting enough to eat, I’d rather go on adventures with Master.”
“It’s so fun being with Master, there’s something new every day, and I can eat my fill.”
Mei spoke lightly, but Chen Yuan fell silent.
Chen Wenhao adjusted his glasses and suddenly spoke: “Have you always had a large appetite, or did you only notice it recently?”
Mei thought carefully: “I think it started after that storm.”
Chen Wenhao pressed further: “Have you noticed any unusual symptoms during this time?”
Mei frowned: “No unusual symptoms, just that I feel more easily tired than before, and I get sleepy at night with my head feeling foggy.”
“But the doctor said this was normal and to just rest during the day.”
“But I still feel the same even after resting.”
“Alright.” Chen Wenhao nodded, lost in thought.
“Advisor Chen, who is this?” Huo Hong looked at the scholarly figure of Chen Wenhao.
Chen Yuan replied: “He’s my younger brother, a student in the research department at the Donghuang Beast Taming Academy Headquarters.”
Hearing this, Huo Hong’s eyes lit up: “Is it normal for the kid to have such a big appetite?”
Chen Wenhao pondered: “It’s hard to say for now.”
After a pause, his eyes lit up: “But from what I understand, after the Spiritual Energy Revival, a very small number of people might develop incredible abilities.”
“These are abilities different from those of a Beastmaster.”
“I don’t quite understand this field, and I can’t give a precise answer. Let me check some related information when I get back to school.”
“Thank you, thank you so much,” Huo Hong said joyfully.
Once Mei was full, everyone left the hot spring, heading towards the Gray Feathered Hunting Eagle’s habitat under Huo Hong’s lead.
“Ow.”
The Cyan Wind Hunting Dog walked in the front, looking serious, maintaining vigilance throughout. It would immediately alert the team if it noticed anything unusual.
“Ow ow!”
Cola quickly came to its side, intrigued by this diligent and responsible big dog.
Join the Puppy Team?
“Ow.”
The Cyan Wind Hunting Dog looked straight ahead, ignoring Cola completely.
Cola circled from left to right, wagging its tail, extending the invitation once more.
Join the Puppy Team!
“Ow!”
The Cyan Wind Hunting Dog stayed focused on the path ahead without looking back.
“Ow…”
Seeing the Cyan Wind Hunting Dog’s reaction, Cola lost interest.
This guy is just like Iron Head.
Chasing butterflies is more fun.
“Master, is that Advisor Chen’s Flame Cloud Falcon? It looks so impressive,” Mei tugged at Huo Hong’s sleeve, her eyes on the Flame Cloud Falcon circling in the sky.
After evolving twice, the Flame Cloud Falcon had not only grown larger but its form had significantly transformed.
Its body was sleek and graceful, with tail feathers long and fiery, quite distinct from traditional falcon species.
“Of course.” Huo Hong whispered back, “It’s Advisor Chen’s ace Pet Beast.”
“Which is stronger, the Flame Cloud Falcon or the Gray Feathered Hunting Eagle?” Mei asked.
“This…” Huo Hong was stumped by the question.
He hadn’t witnessed the Flame Cloud Falcon’s power firsthand, but he was deeply impressed by the strength of the Gray Feathered Hunting Eagle, making them difficult to compare.
But one thing was for sure, both Pet Beasts were stronger than his Cyan Wind Hunting Dog.
So he replied: “Trust Advisor Chen, trust the Flame Cloud Falcon.”
“If even Advisor Chen fails, does that mean our mission fails?” Mei asked again, clenching her fist.
Huo Hong nodded: “Yes.”
Mei softly said, “Then Advisor Chen has to win, or else we won’t have money to eat.”
Huo Hong chuckled wryly and patted the girl’s head: “I have money for food.”
“But I don’t.”
Huo Hong was taken aback: “Don’t we always eat together?”
“But Master always pays for every meal.”
“There’s no need to draw such clear lines between Master and student. You’re still young; I should pay.”
“No.”
Mei pulled out a small notebook from her pocket and opened it to reveal pages covered in writing:
[October 26th, Master treated me to chicken stew, 17 yuan, it tasted great, but I think I ate too much, Master looked at me with a surprised gaze the entire time]
[October 27th, had a bowl of noodles in the morning, four buns, three eggs, one corn cob, finally felt not too hungry, total 22 yuan]
[October 28th, Master treated me to a buffet, 68 yuan per person, so expensive, but at least I was full]
…
[November 5th, Master said if we don’t make money soon, we won’t be able to eat, so I decided to eat less in the future]
[November 6th, so hungry]
Mei waved the little notebook proudly: “I’ve recorded every meal Master treated me to.”
“I’ll pay Master back once I have money.”
Huo Hong stared dumbfounded at the brightly smiling girl, his throat seemed to be blocked, unable to speak, so he just nodded heavily with a nasal sound: “Mm.”
Listening silently to their conversation, Zhang Hao sighed: “I definitely want to have a daughter in the future.”
Chen Yuan glanced sidelong: “Wait until your daughter brings home a blond boy, then you’ll behave.”
After saying this, Chen Yuan turned his head and looked at the Twin Flower Concubine, speaking earnestly: “Don’t bring any strange Pet Beasts home in the future.”
“Hm?”
The Twin Flower Concubine tilted its head, not understanding what “strange Pet Beasts” meant.
