Beast Taming: Invincible Breeder-Chapter 52 - 27: Little White Spider

Chapter 52: Chapter 27: Little White Spider
Hidden within the bloodlines of pet beasts are many ancestral memories. Only the outstanding beasts of the tribe can receive bloodline inheritance. Of course, dragons are exceptions; every dragon pet is excellent, and each can acquire inherited memories. The more outstanding they are, the more memories they gain.
Li Cunxu took out a first-grade purple potion, and as he opened the bottle, an enticing fragrance wafted out. The exotic White Little Red Spider, drawn by the aroma of the delicious poisonous water, stared intently at the potion bottle.
"What’s that thing you’ve got? It smells so good!"
Lin Jiusan swallowed hard. If it weren’t for the odd color of the liquid in the bottle, he might have begged for a taste.
"It’s a delicious poisonous water I concocted, meant specifically for poison-type pet beasts."
Hearing this, Lin Jiusan felt a bit disappointed.
"Uncle, want to drink it?"
"Are you trying to poison me? So you can inherit my estate?" Lin Jiusan glared.
Li Cunxu replied, "The delicious poisonous water, when paired with an antidote pill, is a harmless beverage."
"Good concept."
Lin Jiusan actually did it; he was quite curious about what this wonderfully fragrant drink would taste like.
"Delicious!" Lin Jiusan couldn’t help but praise. "If this were used to open a milk tea shop, it would definitely be a big hit."
Li Cunxu smiled and shook his head, "Wouldn’t earn much; the cost of a bottle of delicious poisonous water is already three hundred, plus five hundred for the antidote pill. Unless you sell the milk tea for more than eight hundred, it wouldn’t make a profit; in fact, it would lose money."
"I remember a new milk tea shop opening on Holy Lotus First Street, and its milk tea sells for thousands. If they can do it, so can you. Moreover, yours tastes even better."
"Their milk tea is likely a Spiritual Food made by a breeder, enhancing the growth of pet beasts, whereas delicious poisonous water doesn’t enhance pets, greatly reducing its value. Poison-type pets can improve slightly, but only a bit, suitable as a snack rather than a staple. Moreover, even if you sell it to poison-type pets, there aren’t many of those."
In the many attributes, poison isn’t very strong, mainly because of antidote pills. A single pill renders most of a poison-type pet beast’s efforts useless. Who would want to raise poison-type pets?
Even if someone raises a poison-type pet, many Beast Masters wash off the poison attribute in later stages, opting to enhance the purity of other attributes.
The White Little Red Spider watched, eyes wide, as Lin Jiusan drank the last of the delicious poisonous water, feeling utterly disheartened, and began rolling around in its specially-made glass cage.
Li Cunxu saw this and felt it was enough; he had teased its appetite long enough.
He leaned down, took out another bottle of delicious poisonous water, opened the cage, and handed it to the White Little Red Spider.
Lin Jiusan quickly stopped him, "Wait, be careful, you might get bitten."
"It’s okay."
Li Cunxu wasn’t afraid of being bitten; at worst, he could take an antidote pill. Plus, it was an opportunity to test the temperament of the White Little Red Spider.
Although others had said that the temperament of the White Little Red Spider wasn’t vicious, it was what others said. The truth was still unknown. Besides, contracting the White Little Red Spider meant a lifelong partner, so a little caution couldn’t hurt.
The White Little Red Spider hugged the potion bottle and drank it with a ’glug, glug’ sound, lying down comfortably on the bed as if it had just enjoyed a fizzy drink, with two of its spider legs crossed in relaxation.
Lin Jiusan was speechless.
Li Cunxu smiled and asked,
"Is it tasty?"
The White Little Red Spider nodded.
"Want more? If you form a contract with me, I can let you drink it every day."
Li Cunxu sounded just like a villain tempting a child with candy.
The White Little Red Spider was tempted, but hesitated when it thought about its own freedom.
Li Cunxu continued to coax, "I have things that taste even better than delicious poisonous water, and besides, you’re an exotic pet beast. It’s impossible for you to not enter a contract with someone. You’re destined to be contracted with a Beast Master. Why can’t that person be me?"
The White Little Red Spider wavered.
"My beast mastery skills are quite formidable; Xiaoruan, demonstrate."
Li Cunxu pointed to a large rock, and Xiaoruan dashed at it, smashing the rock into pieces.
Lin Jiusan was amazed. Had the Water Slime’s strength grown so much in just one day? If the Water Slime had this power yesterday, there would have been no need to poison the Dual Stinger Battle Bee. It could have simply knocked it out with a collision.
Something felt off to him.
Li Cunxu said, "See! This is my beast mastery capability. If I can train a Slime to be this powerful, imagine what I could do with you."
Lin Jiusan, hearing Li Cunxu’s words, thought of the recently popular success guru.
Those who’ve betrayed me, I give them three million; how much more for those loyal to me. Applause, please.
The White Little Red Spider, not yet worldly-wise, was utterly deceived and in a daze formed a contract with Li Cunxu.
As Li Cunxu carried the cage with the White Little Red Spider back to the cabin, Lin Jiusan picked up the shattered stone. When he gently applied pressure to the stone in his hand, it crumbled into pieces.
"Ah, prop stone, makes sense."
The contract was completed smoothly, and the White Little Red Spider recalled its black iron clone.
Meanwhile, the management personnel of the Poisonous Forest Secret Realm were puzzled, focusing on finding the suddenly missing exotic White Little Red Spider. There were no sightings in any surveillance, so they couldn’t sit still and went out searching.
Li Cunxu asked, "Little Spider, do you have a name?"
"Ssss~ (No.)"
"Your voice sounds like...’ let me give you a name!"
Giving a pet beast a name can enhance the bond with the Beast Master.
"Ssss! (Sure!)"
"You’re entirely snow-white, and my surname is Li; how about ’Li Bai’ for your name?"
After saying this, Li Cunxu felt it wasn’t quite suitable.
"Scratch that, ’Li Bai’ doesn’t suit you."
"You’re an exotic Little Red Spider, and a female too, so your name should lean towards the feminine. ’Yi’ sounds like ’异’ (exotic), so how about ’Xiaoyi’, with the nickname ’Little White Spider’?"
Little White Spider expressed great fondness for the name Xiaoyi.
Night fell, and all was quiet.
A thread of spider silk connected to the roof, with a hammock made of web beneath it. The White Little Red Spider snored softly while sleeping in the hammock, only to be woken by Li Cunxu shaking it awake.
"Hush! Come with me."
He led Little White Spider into a newly dug secret passageway under the cabin.
Inside the tunnel, Li Cunxu whispered to Little White Spider about his divine talent as a Beast Master.
After listening, Little White Spider was tremendously shocked and looked at its Beast Master with admiration. With the inherited memories from predecessors, Little White Spider understood the significance of a divine bestowment.
This Beast Master it chose was truly remarkable!
"Divine bestowment."
Li Cunxu gently touched Little White Spider’s head with a finger, and the tunnel was instantly enveloped in brilliant light, a white expanse.
Above the starry sky of the ranch’s cabin, a distant star burst into a flash.
The elderly guild master observing the night sky murmured, "A fateful beast has been born, one of extraordinary fate, I hope it’s not from the Four Gods’ side."
At the same time, the Four Gods decreed to search for the uniquely fateful pet beast born tonight. Find it and contract it; if not, destroy it, especially if it appears on the human side—destroy it at all costs.
