Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 633: Chapter 292: Recognizing Relatives on the Spot! Biyao Chunshen’s Conditions!_2

Su Ping also looked over.

What Xiao Qing had just done was eat the exuvia recently shed by the Biyao Chunshen—what looked like a common horsetail weed.

Obviously, this exuvia, freshly shed by the Biyao Chunshen, contained far more of the creature’s aura than any previous ones; they were simply incomparable. Consequently, Xiao Qing’s reaction after swallowing it this time was exceptionally intense.

A strange, emerald light flickered from Xiao Qing’s body—the Light of Evolution. Even the Light of Evolution that flashed out this time possessed a distinct color. This indicated that Xiao Qing’s evolution had once again taken a significant step forward from its previous state.

However, for the same reason, these exuviae of the Biyao Chunshen essentially contained no residual Energy. What Xiao Qing absorbed was merely the creature’s aura. Although its evolution had progressed significantly, Xiao Qing would still need substantial energy-type resources to complete its future evolution. This was why Su Ping felt confident allowing Xiao Qing to consume these items without worrying about it evolving immediately.

At this moment, the aura bursting forth from Xiao Qing also attracted the Biyao Chunshen’s main body.

Speaking of which, to describe their relationship in rather abstract terms, the connection between Xiao Qing and this Biyao Chunshen was quite complicated indeed.

After all, the conditions for this Mutation were outrageous. A pregnant mother wolf had consumed the roots of the Biyao Chunshen and was overwhelmed by their immense medicinal power; then, the embryonic wolf cub absorbed it and mutated upon birth.

Su Ping couldn’t understand how an ordinary Forest Wolf could have possibly consumed the roots of the Biyao Chunshen. But precisely because it was so unimaginable, when such a one-in-a-million, or perhaps even one-in-ten-million, chance occurred, not even Su Ping could have foreseen what would happen.

However, it was clear that at this moment, after the Biyao Chunshen’s aura was released from Xiao Qing, the Biyao Chunshen’s main body sensed something different about Xiao Qing’s aura. Then, something Su Ping hadn’t expected happened again. Even Xing Chen, who had been watching Su Ping intently, narrowed his eyes slightly, ready to command his Pet Beast to act at any moment.

The body of an ordinary morning glory swayed slowly. Then, the morning glory on the ground simply went limp and collapsed, and a strange shadow slowly emerged from it.

Su Ping also saw clearly what it was. It somewhat resembled a flame, except it was an incredibly vibrant emerald green. Formless, like a flame, its shape constantly twisted and flickered. It lacked the heat of a flame, possessing instead an indescribable, vibrant life force.

This was its upper body. As for the lower half, the green extended downward, seemingly forming solid roots of verdant, material substance, no longer that strange, eerie form resembling an Elemental Flame.

Biyao Chunshen… is that name truly fitting for this thing? And is this its true main body?

Su Ping subconsciously narrowed his eyes. What is it trying to do?

He didn’t know, but for him, such a development was a good thing. What he feared most was dead, unchanging stillness. Now that the situation had changed, there was undoubtedly hope.

Just as hope mingled with trepidation in Su Ping’s heart, the gently swaying Biyao Chunshen, as if acting on a thought, lifted the withered morning glory body and offered it to Xiao Qing’s mouth. This is…

Su Ping blinked, then looked at the creature and tentatively used Psychic Communication to ask, “Are you asking me to give this to Xiao Qing?”

The Biyao Chunshen, which had no distinct body or facial features, actually understood and nodded slightly, much like a human would.

So this thing can actually understand! Su Ping thought. It seems it genuinely didn’t want to bother with me before.

Su Ping didn’t know whether to be amused or exasperated by this realization. What a blow to my pride.

Fortunately, my Xiao Qing is quite capable.

Although Su Ping didn’t understand what this being intended to do, the Biyao Chunshen seemed to hold no malice toward Xiao Qing. This exuvia was, for Xiao Qing, an exceptionally nourishing treasure. One could tell from the longing in Xiao Qing’s eyes.

Sure enough, after receiving Su Ping’s consent, Xiao Qing promptly swallowed the morning glory. The Biyao Chunshen watched very intently from the side.

Su Ping also kept his gaze fixed on the Biyao Chunshen. Most people would likely never have the chance to see such a creature in their entire lifetime. Now that one had truly appeared before him, Su Ping really wanted to observe it carefully.

At this moment, the Biyao Chunshen seemed to grow even more curious about Xiao Qing. However, this time, after Xiao Qing swallowed the morning glory, its reaction wasn’t very significant; even the feedback from the Light of Evolution wasn’t particularly strong.

Clearly, the exuvia that the Biyao Chunshen had shed less than half an hour ago didn’t contain a concentrated aura of the Biyao Chunshen, so it didn’t provide much benefit to Xiao Qing. Fortunately, however, there was still some reaction.

Meanwhile, the Biyao Chunshen also seemed to perceive that Xiao Qing’s appearance was somehow related to the human beside it—the one who had designs on the Biyao Chunshen itself.
