I was terrified! Raising a colossal star beast in the Beast Taming World

Chapter 33 Meng Family Treasure Trove

Upon hearing this, Xue Youyou trembled slightly, a look of astonishment on her face: "Your mother is dead?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Yanqing instantly flew into a rage, practically blurting out, "Pah! Your mother's the one who's dead!"

However, the moment she said those words, she suddenly realized that Xue Youyou wasn't scolding her, but was genuinely asking about her mother's situation.

Meng Yanqing's face instantly turned somewhat awkward. She quickly composed herself, took a deep breath, and then said in a rational yet slightly sorrowful tone, "Yes, my mother is indeed dead."

"But she sacrificed herself gloriously, for the peace of Yuelan Prefecture..."

Meng Yanqing was about to recount her mother's glorious life when she saw Xue Youyou walk up to the flowerpot with a curious expression and reach out to poke the Qingfeng Lotus.

"It's amazing, it's actually alive! A green lotus can grow in the urn of a beast tamer..." Xue Youyou's voice was filled with doubt and surprise.

Snapped!

Meng Yanqing slapped away Xue Youyou's unclean little hand and shouted in frustration, "What are you doing?!"

"This is a green lotus that grew inside my mother's urn!"

"Even if... you are Youyou, you can't just touch her, do you understand?" Meng Yanqing's voice was tinged with a sob.

Seeing this, Xue Youyou forced an apologetic smile and raised her hands in surrender: "Oh, okay, I know."

"It's just a light touch, it won't do anything bad, don't be angry."

Seeing that Meng Yanqing was a little agitated, Xue Youyou's maternal instincts as a beast tamer arose spontaneously, and she instinctively reached out and patted Meng Yanqing's head.

"Eek~"

With just a few gentle touches, Meng Yanqing felt so comfortable that every pore on her body opened up, and she couldn't help but let out a soft moan. She even instinctively rubbed her hands against Xue Youyou's palm.

After rubbing against her, Meng Yanqing belatedly realized how abnormal her reaction had been; her fair skin instantly turned red from her neck to her ears.

Fortunately, after touching her a few times, Xue Youyou quickly realized that this action was somewhat impolite. Meng Yanqing was her senior, sugar daddy, and team leader, not her pet.

This is a common problem among beast tamers. After being used to petting their pets for a long time, they will also trigger muscle memory when they want to comfort people.

Xue Youyou immediately withdrew her hand, turned her head away shyly, and stammered, "Sorry, seeing a girl shorter than me, I subconsciously mistook you for a pet. But my soothing techniques should work, haha..."

Meng Yanqing: "..."

She really wanted to say to Xue Youyou, "Are you being polite?"

However, in the end, she only bit her lip lightly, let out a soft hum, and turned her rosy cheeks away haughtily, not wanting Xue Youyou to see her soft and gentle side again.

Then, Meng Yanqing gently rotated the flowerpot 9981 degrees.

Rumble-

A sound of machinery turning rang out.

The smooth wall in front of the two of them suddenly parted, revealing an elevator hidden inside that led to the underground.

"What is this?" Xue Youyou asked, her face showing surprise.

Faced with Xue Youyou's question, Meng Yanqing put her hands behind her back, her tone returning to the same proud and confident tone she had when they first met: "It's like a restaurant's secret menu. It contains our restaurant's most precious collection and is only open to special customers."

She thought Xue Youyou would look at her with admiration after hearing this, but to her surprise, Xue Youyou looked at her strangely instead: "Uh... actually, what I wanted to ask was, why do you use your own mother as a switch?"

This is truly a display of filial piety.

"..."

After a long silence, Meng Yanqing managed to squeeze out a few words: "That's not my mother, it's just a green lotus that grew in my mother's urn."

"Don't make a sound, just follow me quietly."

"oh."

As the two entered the elevator, the crystal cores embedded in the walls on all sides emitted a fluorescent light.

Meng Yanqing pressed the only button, "-100 floors".

With a "whoosh," accompanied by a feeling of weightlessness, the elevator rapidly descended...

"Clang—"

The elevator arrived at the "-100th floor".

The two stepped out of the elevator and were faced with a huge keypad door.

The plaque above the door bears four large, elegant characters: "Meng Family Treasure Trove".

Meng Yanqing stepped forward and typed rapidly on the virtual screen, entering a password that was five hundred characters long...

"Boom!"

The doors to the treasure vault have finally been opened.

Xue Youyou stared wide-eyed, her gaze fixed intently on what lay ahead.

The Meng family treasure trove has revealed its true nature.

There are nine jade platforms in the secret chamber. Six of them are now empty, leaving only three platforms with treasures on them.

Before Meng Yanqing could introduce her, Xue Youyou said first, "The ultimate crystal core, judging from its color and luster, should belong to a grass-type, void-type pet beast."

Xue Youyou looked at the pale blue lotus-shaped crystal core in front of her and exclaimed from the bottom of her heart, "This crystal core is in really good condition, almost without any damage. It's quite rare."

Ultimate-level crystal cores, as the name suggests, are the crystal cores left behind after an Ultimate-level pet dies.

As is well known, Ultimate-level pets have abnormally high vitality; they will not die unless their crystal core is severely damaged.

This makes it very difficult to obtain a complete crystal core by hunting ultimate-level pet beasts.

Generally speaking, complete Ultimate-level crystal cores are left behind after Ultimate-level pets die of old age, and each one is of immeasurable value and extremely precious.

"Exactly."

Meng Yanqing responded somewhat aggrievedly, "Xue Youyou used all of her words."

She had thought that no matter how knowledgeable Xue Youyou was, she wouldn't know about such a rare item as the Ultimate Crystal Core. She was planning to take this opportunity to brag to Xue Youyou, but she didn't expect that Xue Youyou could tell her a lot just by looking at the appearance, and the attributes and types were all correct.

However, before Xue Youyou could finish speaking, she pondered for a few seconds and guessed, "I guess this should be the ultimate evolution of the Azure Lotus's Void Species, the Broken Crossing Azure Sea, right?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Yanqing was startled, then nodded somewhat dejectedly: "You guessed right. This is the ultimate crystal core left behind by my Meng family ancestor's beloved concubine, the ultimate body Void Seed Duan Du Qingming, after her lifespan was exhausted."

"Thanks to her, the companion pets awakened by the descendants of the Meng family are mostly rare Azure Lotus."

These words were tantamount to admitting that he was a hybrid beast tamer.

However, Xue Youyou wasn't too surprised; she had already guessed the moment she saw the crystal core.

After all, among all pet species, the reproductive desire of Void Beasts is the strongest, except for biological pets, and they are the most likely to leave offspring with their Beastmasters.

In addition, the Azure Lotus grew in the urn containing Meng Yanqing's mother's ashes, and the juvenile form of Meng Yanqing's own companion pet, the Thousand-Leaf Immortal-Slaying Lotus, was also an Azure Lotus. It is easy to guess that she is a rare hybrid beast tamer.

Although you really can't tell from Meng Yanqing's appearance alone.

Perhaps because it has been passed down for several generations, the ultimate blood flowing in Meng Yanqing's body has become increasingly diluted, resulting in the absence of her pet beast characteristics. Apart from her blue hair, she is no different from an ordinary person.

Xue Youyou shifted her gaze from the crystal core of Duan Du Qingming to the next jade platform.

The bottle on top contains a crystal bottle filled with a black liquid that emits dreamlike sparkles, making it look quite extraordinary.

This time, Meng Yanqing said with extreme confidence, "Even Youyou wouldn't recognize this."

"Hmm..." Xue Youyou stared at the bottle of black liquid for a long time, but as Meng Yanqing said, she still couldn't figure it out.

Just as Xue Youyou was about to humbly ask Meng Yanqing for advice, Gui Pozhi in the pet space transmitted a message to Xue Youyou: "This is the energy essence of the divine beast Taiyin!"

Gui Pozhi's voice was filled with intense longing. The moment it saw the crystal bottle, its body burst forth with a strong desire, and a memory inexplicably appeared in its mind.

"I need... Youyou, please help me get it no matter what, please!"
