Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 529: Chapter 248: New Year’s Eve Party at Heart of Woods! New Catalog Lights Up!_3

After a year of hard work and training, they deserved some good food for the New Year, right?

So, Su Ping requested a considerable number of tree fruits from the orchards of Peach Blossom and Heart of Fruit. At the same time, he purchased more than ten Commander Level tree fruits, and even one Monarch Level tree fruit, to serve as a special addition to their meal.

Besides these, there was also meat from fish caught in the Heart of Water, such as the Blue Pattern Snow Lance Fish, a favorite of both Su Ping and the Sea Core Spirit Turtle, and the Yellow Spotted Electric Carp, whose flesh had a slightly numbing quality. The Snow Lance Fish could be enjoyed directly as sashimi, while the others required some preparation.

The Forest Wolf was also a meat-eating Pet Beast. Processing the fish meat didn’t need to be overly complex; a simple fish paste with some supplementary side dishes and ingredients would suffice. It seemed simple, but there were so many wolves! Su Ping had prepared plenty of ingredients, but getting everything ready certainly took a while.

Apart from the Forest Wolf, Su Ping also took great care with the Little Crow’s food. After all, the Little Crow had only recently joined the Heart of Myriad Spirits, and Su Ping planned to build a habitat for avian creatures there in the future. From the name Flame-Eating Crow, one could guess what it fed on. So, the most direct food was the Flame Fruit produced in Su Ping’s Beast Taming Space.

But what left Su Ping speechless was that, during this period, he had also accumulated a good amount of Flame Fruits in the Beast Taming Space. However, he didn’t know if it was because the Flame Fruits were within the Beast Taming Space, but they would dissipate and vanish if stored there for more than a day. This baffled Su Ping. Ultimately, he could only surmise that the spatial characteristics of the Fire Cultivation Realm might have an absorptive property for Fire Element items, leading to the disappearance of the Flame Fruits. Fortunately, after he removed the fully condensed Flame Fruits from the space, they no longer vanished.

Besides the Flame Platter composed of Flame Fruits, there were also grains and meats specifically for the Little Crow.

The Sea Core Spirit Turtle, which had a low-key presence and had also only joined the Heart of Myriad Spirits a month ago, was easier to cater to. There were plenty of fish and shrimp caught from the Heart of Water; Su Ping looked up some cooking methods and prepared them according to the Sea Core Spirit Turtle’s tastes and preferences. Fortunately, Su Ping had an unreliable father. Over the years, apart from eating takeout, he had actually prepared most of his own meals. He had become quite proficient at it by now.

The trickier part was the Plant System Pet Beasts. Plant System Pet Beasts were different from other animal-type Pet Beasts. Plant System Pet Beasts couldn’t share most of those foods. The ’food’ for Plant System Pet Beasts, aside from sunlight and air, primarily consisted of Spirit Water and Spiritual Soil! So, Su Ping put some extra effort into this area. The ’New Year’s Eve dinners,’ made from various kinds of Spirit Water mixed with Spiritual Soil resources, were finally ready. As for the Paperman, there wasn’t much to say—various paper resources would do.

He was busy for the better part of a day. Finally, day turned from dawn to dusk.

When six o’clock arrived, Su Ping appeared punctually in the clearing before the forest. From the tree branches and the Sky-reaching Vine in front of the house, large, fiery red lanterns illuminated the already darkened night sky.

”Dinner time!”

There were no tables or chairs, no bowls or chopsticks. Su Ping sat directly on the mats that had been spread out earlier on the vast lawn. The Pet Beasts, who had been waiting anxiously nearby, finally approached. However, at this moment, they were hardly tempted by the delicacies Su Ping had laid out on the large mats.

Well, some were still tempted. For instance, the little Paperman Qian Yi was squatting nearby, its eyes fixed on the various paper resources soaked in the Five Elements, a trickle of drool escaping its lips.

Su Ping glanced at this little fellow. ”Have you thought about what performance you’re going to do?”
