Beast taming, starting from zero point-Chapter 41 - 38 My Life is Over

Chapter 41: Chapter 38 My Life is Over

“So everyone sitting in our circle knows now,” Qiao Sang said, speechless.

“Isn’t it more fun to share the joy with others?” Fang Sisi said with a smile.

Qiao Sang couldn’t hold back the laughter, “Hahaha, you have a point.”

“Hahahaha…” Fang Sisi also laughed out loud.

Although she had told many people about it, it felt just as funny every time she retold the story.

After the two of them had a silly laugh, when they were tired of laughing, Qiao Sang asked, “Why didn’t the teacher just buy a bottle of Selanthe Glue to use?”

Selanthe Glue is extracted from the Selanthe Pot.

Every time the Selanthe Pot goes to sleep and closes its shell, a small amount of gel oozes out when the shell opens again in the morning, called Selanthe Glue.

This kind of glue has a miraculous effect on promoting hair growth, saving much more time and effort than hair transplants.

“A bottle of Selanthe Glue is worth half a year’s salary for the teacher, and getting a hair transplant is so much cheaper,” Fang Sisi said.

Indeed, anything related to extraordinary creatures was ridiculously expensive these days.

Even though hair is a middle-aged man’s life, the teacher had a wife and kids to support and couldn’t possibly splurge on a bottle of Selanthe Glue for himself.

Thinking this, Qiao Sang couldn’t help but feel that the teacher was quite pitiable.

Mr. Ji, who taught the third lesson on Pet Beasts and Nature, loved asking questions, especially to the students with poor grades.

Qiao Sang had often been called upon in the past, but in the recent period that she was absent, the pressure was distributed among the students ranked close to hers.

“The Round Spotted Sprout evolves into a Toxic Moth Powder in the Lian Ke Area,” Mr. Ji said while giving the correct answer to the second short answer question on the test paper, then lifted his glasses and asked, “So, who knows what the Round Spotted Sprout evolves into in the Liaoxi Area?”

Some Pet Beasts have fixed evolutionary forms, while others evolve into different forms based on different evolutionary materials and environments.

The Round Spotted Sprout belongs to the latter, known to have four different evolutionary forms under various environments so far.

The students sitting below all bowed their heads, staring at their test papers, afraid that making eye contact with Mr. Ji would lead to an unwanted exchange.

This test paper was distributed last week, which Qiao Sang didn’t have, so she was leaning to one side, looking at Fang Sisi’s paper with her.

Mr. Ji’s gaze turned towards where Qiao Sang, Fang Sisi, Guo Linze, and a bunch of poor students were clustered.

Guo Linze immediately became nervous; he had been called up to answer questions far too often recently. His eyes were flickering, and he caught sight of Qiao Sang sitting in front of him to the left.

“Qiao Sang, you don’t have the test paper, right? You can use mine,” Guo Linze said, patting Qiao Sang on the shoulder and speaking softly.

We’ve been talking about the test paper for over ten minutes now, and you’re offering it to me now?

Qiao Sang wanted to refuse, but as soon as she lifted her eyes and turned her head, her gaze met Mr. Ji’s.

“Qiao Sang, you answer it.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

Guo Linze, you sly man!

“Ice Moth Powder,” Qiao Sang stood up and replied.

Mr. Ji looked at her answer and then asked, “What about in the Xilü Area?”

“Grass Moth Powder,” Qiao Sang said.

“Very good, sit down,” Mr. Ji nodded in satisfaction and asked, “Who knows which area the last one, Water Moth Powder, evolves in?”

Qiao Sang sat down, turned around, and snatched the test paper from Guo Linze’s desk, laughing, “Then I won’t stand on ceremony.”

Guo Linze was taken by surprise, tried to press down on the test paper but failed, and his hand hit the desk making quite a noise.

“Guo Linze, stand up and answer.”

Guo Linze: “…!”

Soon it was break time.

“Qiao Sang, the homeroom teacher is calling for you,” Ma Xiao, the study committee member, came over.

What was meant to come would eventually come.

Qiao Sang put down her book and headed to the office with an entirely different mood from the last time.

“You’ve taken so many days off, come and fill out a leave form,” the teacher said, opening a drawer and placing a leave form on the desk.

Qiao Sang’s eyes uncontrollably drifted towards the teacher’s head.

Still a toupee, who knows what’s underneath…

“Qiao Sang,” the teacher called out her name with a somewhat dangerous tone.

Qiao Sang hastily picked up the pen and started filling out the leave form.

“Is your mom okay now?” the teacher asked.

Qiao Sang paused for a moment and replied, “She’s fine now.”

By the time the leave-of-absence form was completed, the homeroom teacher picked up a notebook from beside them and placed it in front of Qiao Sang, “You’ve fallen behind quite a bit with your revision in these past few days. These notes are from my previous student; he scored 632 on the middle school exams. Take them home and study them well.”

The full score for the middle school exam was 650, so a score of 632 was indeed not low at all.

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment before accepting them; this was indeed what she needed most at the moment.

“Thank you, teacher.”

The homeroom teacher waved a hand, indicating she was dismissed.

Qiao Sang couldn’t quite describe her feelings. The homeroom teacher might have had some flaws, but who didn’t? At least he was beyond reproach when it came to his students.

Even though the loss of his precious hair had been because of her, he didn’t hold a personal grudge against her now.

Qiao Sang felt deeply moved and asked with concern, “Teacher, is your hair all right?”

The homeroom teacher’s expression froze, stunned.

After a moment, the homeroom teacher took a deep breath and said, “Would your mother really let you miss school for so long because she’s sick?”

Qiao Sang: “…”

…

…

When school let out in the afternoon, Qiao Sang decided to confess everything to her mother directly.

Some things would definitely not have the same consequences if they were spoken by her instead of her teacher.

But as it happened, her mother was not yet home when she arrived.

“Fire-Toothed Dog, you mop here, I’ll mop there.” Qiao Sang handed a wet rag to Fire-Toothed Dog and pointed to the right half of the living room.

Qiao Sang had it all planned out. When her mother came home and saw the room clean and the floors mopped, dinner cooked, any anger she might have would surely be lessened significantly.

“Ya!”

Fire-Toothed Dog barked happily in response and started mopping with a paw on the rag.

Fire-Toothed Dog put its right limb on the rag, pushed back with its left limb, and its body slid forward with the rag for a distance.

“Ya.”

“Ya Ya~”

It kept merrily barking while mopping.

Even though it was manual labor, Fire-Toothed Dog seemed to be playing a fun game.

Such a good kid.

Qiao Sang, filled with satisfaction, began mopping the left half of the living room with her mop.

The evening glow cast a soft orange light through the glass onto the floor and onto the girl and Fire-Toothed Dog.

Everything was so peaceful and beautiful.

Fire-Toothed Dog merrily continued mopping, going faster and sliding quicker.

“Bang!”

A loud noise shattered the peaceful moment.

Qiao Sang looked up to see that beside Fire-Toothed Dog was a mess of broken porcelain.

A sudden jolt of fear struck Qiao Sang’s heart. Without a second thought, she dropped the mop and ran to Fire-Toothed Dog’s side, lifting it to check for injuries while anxiously asking, “Are you okay?”

“Ya!”

Fire-Toothed Dog barked loudly and wagged its tail to show it was fine and pointed with a paw at the turquoise porcelain fragments on the ground.

“Ya Ya Ya.”

“Ya Ya.”

“Ya Ya.”

After explaining, Fire-Toothed Dog looked a bit guilty and its ears drooped.

“It’s okay that the vase is broken; I’m just glad you’re not hurt.”

After comforting Fire-Toothed Dog, Qiao Sang’s gaze returned to the fragments on the floor.

She remembered that her mother had brought it back from a trip to Lianbo District, and the bottom of the vase had the signature of a Beast Tamer that her mother liked…

“Crack.”

At that moment, the door opened.

Qiao Sang turned to her mother’s face as four words flashed through her mind.

My life is over…
