Chapter 336: Chapter 336
"Wow—" Han Yali, like a curious baby, looked up at the Bone Worm Beast and exclaimed, "So big, kind of like a giant maggot—"
Zuo Jing raised a hand and dropped a fist on her head, clearing his throat.
"Oh!" Han Yali quickly covered her mouth, thinking it was Qian Qi’s Contracted Beast, and quickly apologized to Qian Qi, "Uh, Qian, I didn’t mean that."
"No worries, I also think it looks like a maggot." Qian Qi rubbed his chin, agreeing, "So, do you think dyeing it red might look better?"
"Red, huh..." Han Yali also rubbed her chin, thinking deeply, "Wouldn’t red be too scary? I feel that light pink would make it look, um, more boyish?"
"Is that so?" Qian Qi imagined it for a moment, unsure, and looked at Sheng Qing, "Sheng Qing, what do you think?"
Sheng Qing stood right next to Qian Qi, looking quite sleepy, her beautiful eyes barely open. Upon hearing this, she silently gave a thumbs up, "Good."
"Alright then." Seeing that Sheng Qing also agreed, Qian Qi couldn’t help but expectantly say, "Then I’ll try using pink ink when I get back! Actually, I would prefer rainbow colors."
"Wow! Rainbow colors! That’s possible too!" Han Yali said excitedly, "So ugly it’s beautiful, it’s possible!"
Sheng Qing silently gave another thumbs up, "Good."
You three are something else.
On the side, seeing Qian Qi still not releasing Moyu and the others, the Bone Worm Beast lowered its head and nudged Qian Qi, urging her to hurry up.
Qian Qi rubbed her small hands, brought Moyu and the White Extreme Rat out from the Beast Taming Space, paused, and also pulled out Qian Ba and the Poisonous Venomous Python. Dıscover more novels at novel·fıre·net
Confronted with these spontaneously appearing Contracted Beasts, Han Yali and Zuo Jing exchanged a glance; shocked but saying nothing more. After all, the principal had briefed them once, and Su Xingchen had given them a warning last night, so naturally, they wouldn’t ask questions that Qian Qi wouldn’t want to answer.
Qian Qi didn’t mind either; otherwise, she wouldn’t have let out the Bone Worm Beast and the Contracted Beasts in front of them. Rather than keeping the Beast Taming Space and the Bone Worm Beast a secret by letting Moyu and the others starve every day, she preferred they have a good meal.
Seeing Moyu and Qian Ba, the Bone Worm Beast seemed very happy. It spat out a large mouthful of translucent nutrient meat onto the deck, indicating with a kind look for them to eat.
"Bone Mother, boohoo, I haven’t eaten your meal in so long!" Moyu chewed the nutrient meat happily, savoring it to the point of tears.
Seeing how much Moyu liked it, the Bone Worm Beast happily spat out another large mouthful of nutrient meat and placed it before Moyu.
"Bone Mother, I want it too!" Qian Ba quickly pleaded, "I love your meals the most~"
The Bone Worm Beast couldn’t help but twist its waist and spat out another big mouthful of nutrient meat.
Sheng Qing, staring at the Bone Worm Beast spitting out meat, her once sleepy eyes widened slightly, and Han Yali held back for a long time, finally turning around to suppress her urge to retch. Even Zuo Jing, who was usually quite accepting, slightly averted his gaze, clearly finding the scene visually overwhelming.
Seeing Sheng Qing and others unable to accept it, Qian Qi couldn’t help but think it wasn’t just her problem; anyone seeing this scene would have their san value dropping like mad.
Moyu and the others ate happily, but as for the Poisonous Venomous Python, it was its first time seeing the Bone Worm Beast. Unlike Moyu and their focus on nutrient white meat, it stared at the Bone Worm Beast’s body with golden eyes, drooling.
The Bone Worm Beast felt a chill down its spine.
The Bone Worm Beast, while having strong digestive abilities, wasn’t invincible. Being a milkmaid-type Magic Beast, encountering an A-level Magical Beast posed a considerable threat; getting eaten inadvertently could easily lead to being digested by the other’s stomach acid.
However, fortunately, the Bone Worm Beast boasted formidable escape capabilities, making it not entirely hopeless in dire situations.
So, when targeted by the A-level Little Poison, the Bone Worm Beast abandoned its newly fattened body and hid behind Qian Qi’s neck, vigilantly watching the Poisonous Venomous Python.
"It’s a partner," Qian Qi tapped Little Poison’s forehead, "You can’t eat it."
The Poisonous Venomous Python had to swallow back its drool, curiously asking, "But why didn’t Second Brother introduce it before?"
"It’s not my Contracted Beast." Qian Qi retrieved the Bone Worm Beast from behind her neck, shaking its soft and squishy body, "Just a partner."
It helps her raise Contracted Beasts, and she helps it raise Magic Beast Eggs, nothing more.
"I see..." The Poisonous Venomous Python, still reluctantly fixated on the Bone Worm Beast.
Seeing the Poisonous Venomous Python still eyeing it with interest, the Bone Worm Beast spat out a tiny bit of small white meat, its tail nudging it gently towards the Poisonous Venomous Python.
Surprised by the gesture, the Poisonous Venomous Python cleared its throat and tapped the Bone Worm Beast with the tip of its tail, arrogantly saying, "Never mind, too skinny, better fatten it up before eating."
"Since you’re not yet the Contractor’s Contracted Beast, your status is lower than mine. From now on, you’re my little brother!" The Poisonous Venomous Python, being the lowest in rank among the Contracted Beasts, naturally wouldn’t miss this opportunity to adopt a little brother. It coiled around the Bone Worm Beast, "Come on, brother will take you to the sea for some good eats!"
With that said, the Poisonous Venomous Python leaped into the sea, its previously reduced size instantly enlarging. It swam through the ocean like a sea dragon, placing the Bone Worm Beast on its head with the tip of its tail. After leisurely enjoying its huge snake body gliding through the waves, it took the Bone Worm Beast underwater.
"Yo, it’s actually a sea snake?" Qian Qi was quite surprised, not expecting that the Poisonous Emperor Python turned out to be an amphibious Python Beast.
The clamor of the Poisonous Venomous Python diving into the sea attracted Gong Qiang, who had been off to release some seawater between times, initially thinking a Sea Beast was attacking. To his surprise, it was just Qian Qi letting the Poisonous Venomous Python out to play.
"What are these? Where did they come from?" Keeping an eye on the nutrient white meat on the deck and the drowsy-looking big fat insect, the Bone Worm Beast, Gong Qiang was utterly astonished.
"Ah... these..." Glancing at the nutrient white meat, Qian Qi wasn’t exactly sure how to explain, "In short, they’re... a kind of very nutritious meat, eating them can enhance your strength..."
Gong Qiang, observing Moyu and Bai Ji eating, suddenly realized, "Oh, it’s the top-quality material for Magical Beasts!"
"Emmm..." Remembering something, Qian Qi hesitated, speaking slowly, "Humans can also eat it..."
Upon hearing humans could consume it, Gong Qiang’s eyes instantly lit up, "No side effects?"
"None, there’s none..."
Just as Qian Qi finished speaking, Gong Qiang immediately scooped up a bite, surprised by the tender white meat melting in his mouth, "Wow, really tasty, like eating shrimp balls. But I don’t seem to feel any unusual changes in my body?"
Qian Qi gave him a meaningful look, "Because this is digested from a D-level Fragrant Fin Beast, so the energy is relatively low, naturally having minimal effects on someone like you, an A-level Thunder Element Awakener."
"Oh, I see..." Gong Qiang nodded but only realized something shocking seconds later, "What? Digested from what?"
Qian Qi poked the nearby Bone Worm Beast, which promptly "yue" vomited out a large mouthful of nutrient white meat onto the deck again.
She mischievously grinned, "Fragrant Fin Beast, didn’t you notice they’ve all disappeared?"
