Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger

Chapter 345 - 196: Parting Comes Eventually (Part 3)

"That’s how things went down." Jiang Wenning recounted today’s events to Li Junyue and Chang Yuhuan.

Li Junyue fell silent, and Chang Yuhuan spoke first: "So our jade pendant really recorded the locations of the deities?"

"Yes." Chen Yuan nodded, "Once the deities fully awaken, they will cause unimaginable harm to the entire world."

Everyone fell silent.

After a long pause, Jiang Wenning spoke with a light and breezy tone, as if a warm spring wind scattered everyone’s anxiety: "So we’ve really become the world-saving protagonists."

Chang Yuhuan’s voice was mature, with a hint of helplessness: "Actually, I just wanted to be an ordinary photographer."

She paused and laughed: "But who made us run into these things?"

"Indeed," Chen Yuan nodded, "We can’t avoid it, we can only face it."

"Then our jade pendant..." Chang Yuhuan hesitated to continue.

Li Junyue suddenly spoke, his tone deep: "If it’s really as you say, each deity holds unimaginable power, surely there will be extraordinary phenomena when they awaken."

"Just like Cyan, its awakening affected the nearby forest greatly, thus attracting official attention."

"The government has countless talented individuals and their control over each area is beyond imagination; if similar phenomena occur, they will be the first to know."

Li Junyue paused, his eyes flickering slightly: "We must not underestimate the power of the government."

Jiang Wenning’s voice was lively: "Watermelon, you keep mentioning the government, aren’t you a member of the government yourself?"

Li Junyue: "..."

"Actually, I have an idea." Chen Yuan suddenly spoke, drawing everyone’s attention to himself, "There’s a way to inform the government of the deities’ locations without exposing the jade pendants."

"What way?" Jiang Wenning eagerly asked.

Chen Yuan looked down at Qing Bo, who was curled up in his arms, and smiled slightly: "Let Qing Bo help."

He didn’t intentionally keep them in suspense, but spoke directly of his idea: "Qing Bo is Cyan’s emotional embodiment and also possesses incredible abilities."

"Its existence is much more magical than ordinary Pet Beasts."

"Right now, Qing Bo might not remember the past and is as innocent as a child, but who can guarantee it will always be this way?"

"In some time, if Qing Bo suddenly remembers the locations of other deities, isn’t it reasonable?"

"Given its kindness and compassion, would telling me this information voluntarily be reasonable?"

"After all, this little fellow can’t talk, which makes it the perfect conduit for us."

Jiang Wenning instinctively asked: "But what if someone with ulterior motives sets their sights on it?"

Chen Yuan laughed: "Qing Bo is only reluctant to fight, not weak."

The emotional embodiment of Cyan, Sunrise Quality, possessing four perfect-level Skills, and capable of flight, Chen Yuan was eager to see who could capture this little guy.

Besides, he would be there with Qing Bo.

Furthermore, this is the most critically classified information, with no risk of leaking.

"I think this proposal is good." Li Junyue breathed a long sigh of relief.

"I agree with you," Chang Yuhuan nodded in support.

"Then let’s decide on this for now," Chen Yuan said.

According to Cyan, it would be a long time until the other deities fully awaken.

Maybe we won’t even need Qing Bo to act as the conduit, the government might locate them first.

Just as Li Junyue said, never underestimate the power of the government.

"By the way, I have some good news for you." Li Junyue changed the topic, a faint smile appearing on his face, "I’ve become the team leader."

"Congratulations, Watermelon, treat us to a meal!" Jiang Wenning spoke first.

"Treat us!" Chang Yuhuan echoed, though her heart surged with deep disappointment.

Among the four present, Jiang Wenning was a genius beastmaster at the Donghuang Beast Taming Academy Headquarters, Chen Yuan was beyond description, and now Li Junyue had been promoted to team leader.

Only she had average strength, with photography skills that weren’t applicable.

Li Junyue laughed: "Sure, as long as you all come over, I will definitely treat you."

He seriously thought about his savings, and gritted his teeth: "And it’ll be a feast."

Jiang Wenning said: "I have some free time later."

Chang Yuhuan collected her thoughts and smiled softly: "Me too, I just want to shoot the snow-capped mountains over there."

Chen Yuan said: "I have a competition in a few days; I should have time after it ends."

"Alright, I’ll be waiting for you all in Yun Province."

"Yay, a feast!"

November 5th, Wednesday.

Cloudy.

Early in the morning, when Chen Yuan got up, he saw Zhang Yu squatting on the ground, talking to Hanhan Pig:

"From now on, you’re my Pet Beast. I have no demands from you, just don’t cause trouble."

"By the way, it would be great if you could eat less; my current financial status isn’t optimistic and can’t sustain our indulgence."

"Don’t look at me with those pitiful eyes!"

"Alright alright, you can eat as much as you want, I’ll just have to find a way to get more research funding from the teacher..."

Chen Yuan joked: "Still decided to contract Hanhan Pig, huh?"

"Yes, Advisor Chen." Zhang Yu stood up, a smile on his face, "I seriously thought about it; I’m just a researcher, contracting a powerful Pet Beast seems unnecessary."

"Snort!"

Upon hearing this, Hanhan Pig let out an unhappy squeal.

Zhang Yu quickly waved his hand: "I didn’t mean you’re not strong, I meant... it’s just I can’t bear seeing you train hard and exhaust yourself."

As he said this, he patted his chest forcefully: "Following me, you’ll live a life of comfort, not hard work."

"Snort snort!"

Hanhan Pig’s eyes gleamed brightly, and suddenly it pounced on Zhang Yu, launching an attack with its big tongue on his cheeks.
