Beast Taming: the More the Better

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoxue abruptly turned her head to look at him. ”What reason?”

Unable to contact his unreliable father, and among all the people he knew, it was indeed Qin Xiaoxue, whom he had only known for a little over ten days, that Su Ping could trust the most.

Su Ping didn’t conceal anything and recounted last night’s events to Qin Xiaoxue.

When he mentioned the ripples in the space, Qin Xiaoxue’s face showed a look of understanding. ”A Secret Realm? I see!”

After that, Qin Xiaoxue looked at Su Ping with a complex expression. ”Su Ping, do you have any idea what a Secret Realm is worth? And you just told me about it like that?”

As he looked at Qin Xiaoxue at that moment, Su Ping thought to himself, if it hadn’t been for her, I wouldn’t even know the thing was called a Secret Realm, let alone its value. But at a time like this, telling the truth would be just plain stupid, wouldn’t it?

He blinked and looked calmly at Qin Xiaoxue. ”I trust you!”

Sincerity is the ultimate move.

Qin Xiaoxue was taken aback. Then, as Su Ping watched, she blushed for the first time in her life and, without thinking, quickly turned away and spoke at a rapid pace, ”A Secret Realm is the ownerless Beast Taming Space left behind by a powerful Beast Tamer upon their death. There’s no corresponding course in the basic taming academy; only Advanced Colleges teach about it. Secret Realms are incredibly rare, precious, and dangerous. Some may contain the heritage of the Beast Tamers who left them, or even descendants of their Pet Beasts, along with various resources—all can be found within a Secret Realm. In the Dragon Nation, there’s a special organization called the Qintian Monitor; their duty is to detect the emergence of Secret Realms throughout the nation to prevent powerful Pet Beasts from emerging and harming other Beast Tamers. However, if a Secret Realm appears on private property, then the owner of the land has the right to deal with it. They can choose to explore it themselves, hand it over to the Qintian Monitor, or even sell it to others.”

After finishing in a rush, Qin Xiaoxue took a deep breath and then continued, ”Su Ping, I can’t give you any advice about your Secret Realm, but rest assured, if you don’t want to sell it, no one can force you!”

Having said that, Qin Xiaoxue, as if possessed, suddenly stood up, grabbed Woodhead, who let out a pitiful cry, and ran quickly toward the door.

Her hasty departure left Su Ping unable to react. Just when he thought Qin Xiaoxue had left for some unknown reason, she suddenly returned, holding the nearly breathless Woodhead, whose eyes were rolling back. With her cheeks still flushed, she stood at the door of the reception room, looking at a baffled Su Ping.

”Su Ping, work hard for the professional Beast Tamer assessment in a year’s time! It’s important! So right now, you need to focus on improving your strength! I’ll be waiting for you to participate!”

”?”

Su Ping was even more confused. He then saw Qin Xiaoxue truly disappear without a trace this time.

He pondered for a while. What on earth was that woman talking about at the end? How do these things even connect? And waiting for *me* to take the professional Beast Tamer assessment? She’s already been admitted to Magic Capital’s Advanced Beast Taming College, so why would she wait for *me* to take an assessment? Don’t tell me she hasn’t taken it yet? Not likely, right? Besides, even if she hadn’t, *I’ll* be taking *my* assessment here in Jianghai Province, while she should be in Magic Capital. We’re worlds apart! What’s there to wait for?

Su Ping looked suspicious and utterly confused. Indeed, Miss Qin’s thinking can be a bit muddled at times.

However, just then, Su Ping suddenly started. He leaped up from the sofa and, in a few quick strides, rushed to the front door of his Heart of Wood Cultivation Base, shouting, ”You haven’t paid yet!”

However, Qin Xiaoxue was nowhere to be seen in front of the door.

At that moment, Su Ping was once again plunged into self-doubt. Was Miss Qin just toying with me? That escape act, running off without paying—that doesn’t seem like someone with a muddled mind! Could it be that I was too naïve?

Shaking his head, Su Ping decided not to dwell on it. The help Qin Xiaoxue had given him was far more valuable than a mere million or two.

Right now, the most important thing was undoubtedly his spoils.

Su Ping took out the USB drive, excitement shining in his eyes.
