Beast Taming: the More the Better

Magic Capital Advanced Beast-Taming Academy.

A figure sat behind the desk, lost in thought for a long time.

She appeared to be a woman in her forties, showing not the slightest sign of aging; instead, she possessed an indescribable vitality. Just one look was enough to sense the life force wrapped around her spiritual power. She was one of the top figures in the entire Magic Capital Advanced Beast-Taming Academy—no, even in all of Magic Capital.

However, this woman, who had a renowned reputation in the Dragon Nation, was lost in thought for a long time at this moment.

She couldn't help but play the short video before her eyes once again.

In the video was that peculiar creature known as the Wanmu Wolf, a cultivated Evolutionary Body. A desolate howl emitted, and the next moment, a dawn-like golden sunlight spread across the wolf's body. Afterward, the massive wolf, much like a Kylin, seemed to be bathed in radiance, its entire body covered in light. The next instant, it burst into light as bright as the Sun and then vanished.

Such power was nothing to the woman. She didn't even need to summon her Pet Beast; with her spiritual power attainment, a mere thought was enough to block it all. But this power, bursting forth from a Commander Level Pet Beast, was enough to command her attention.

A Super-Rank Skill?

For a moment, she felt it was absurd.

What the hell is all this?

A few months ago, Qin Erlong, that Old Ghost in Linzhou, had called her to say that his "little cabbage" might have taken a liking to some "stinky brat." She had been somewhat dissatisfied and hadn't even dared to let her son and daughter-in-law know. However, she still respected her granddaughter's wishes, especially since she herself had once been headstrong and taken a liking to Qin Erlong.

Not long after, Qin Erlong said that the little fellow could make the Forest Wolf master the Heart of Woods. She had become slightly interested, for the Heart of Woods Skill was indeed special. If it could be mastered by the Forest Wolf, it indicated that the little fellow was not incompetent.

Then, over a month ago, Qin Erlong had called again, suddenly telling her that the little fellow had cultivated a new Evolutionary Body for the Forest Wolf, named the Wanmu Wolf. She had been surprised and had remembered the name of the little fellow, Su Ping. Her curiosity about this exceptionally talented youngster had grown, and she'd planned to meet him when the time came.

Now, Qin Erlong had called her again. He told her that not only was the cultivation of the Wanmu Wolf complete but, according to Liu Fuhai, it also possessed a module for a Super-Rank Skill. Furthermore, it was highly possible that it would completely master a Super-Rank Skill in the near future.

She had yet to snap out of it.

For the first time, she wondered if telephones were really such bizarre and implausible devices.

What if in another two months, that old scoundrel calls again to tell me that the little fellow is actually the illegitimate child of some Legend of the Holy Dragon?

But what was unfolding before her eyes made her have to believe.

THUMP THUMP! A crisp knocking sounded at the door.

"Come in!"

Watching Qin Xiaoxue walk in, a trace of a smile appeared on the woman's cheek.

"How have your preparations been recently?"

Qin Xiaoxue wasn't as casual as she was at her grandfather's place, but she sat down directly and chuckled. "We still have to wait. Didn't you say it yourself? Wait until Woodhead breaks through the race limit before we discuss further, and also..."

The woman naturally knew what Qin Xiaoxue meant by "and also..." She shook her head helplessly and said, "Someone once said they wouldn't talk about love before surpassing me as a Beast Tamer. I wonder if Xiao Xue remembers who said that?"

Qin Xiaoxue stamped her foot. "It was me who said it, so what! I'm not dating anyone now!"

The woman nodded. "Alright, alright, I'm waiting for our Xiao Xue to surpass me. In that case, this old lady will stop her meditation and cultivation from now on. Otherwise, how will I ever get to hold my great-grandson, hmm?"

Her face flushed with annoyance from the old lady's teasing, Qin Xiaoxue felt helpless.

"Okay, okay, I just came to ask if A Chuan has sought you out again these past few days?"

"Yes. Can't you do something about your son? Tell him to stop meddling in his daughter's affairs all the time, please?"

"Who is it this time?" Clearly, the old lady was well aware of her son's behavior and his intentions.

Qin Xiaoxue looked impatient. "Didn't I just ask him about Dong Muyun from Jianghai Province—from Jianghai Corporation's Dong Family? He must have thought I was interested in the Dong Family. Dong Muxuan, a direct descendant, is also at the academy, so he's trying to get us to meet and chat face to face."

At these words, even the woman's brows knitted slightly.

It wasn't that she was dissatisfied with her son's insistence on finding a so-called match of equal status for her granddaughter. She purely disapproved of this particular candidate.

Qin Chuan is really becoming more and more unreasonable. It's all your grandfather's fault for originally letting him go down that path—studying in Eagle Country and starting a company. I always said there's nothing good about foreign things.

The woman also rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on.

She sighed; the mood to share Su Ping's achievements with her little cabbage to cheer her up had completely vanished.

She said simply, "Alright, go back. I'll have a word with your father. Don't worry, with me and your grandfather backing you, our Xiao Xue can do whatever she wants in the future."
