434: Wang Cao: Dad, can you introduce me to a rabbit?
Wang Cao returned home grumbling, simply because Weng Qinghua's public display of affection had once again annoyed him.
He slammed the door shut, slumped onto the sofa, his heart full of anger.
Just then, he heard laughter coming from the living room.
He looked up to see his father, Wang Jia, squatting on the floor, holding a carrot, teasing a Rabbit Demon.
The Rabbit Demon hopped around happily; if it hadn't shrunk its size, the house would likely collapse from its jumps, while Wang Jia on the side was grinning from ear to ear.
Wang Cao watched this scene, and the anger in his heart intensified.
He felt that his father shouldn't be so happy when he was in a bad mood.
He stood up, walked over to Wang Jia, and loudly said, "Dad, can you stop playing? I'm in a bad mood!"
Wang Jia looked up at Wang Cao, a puzzled expression on his face.
He asked, "What's wrong, son? Who made you angry?"
Wang Cao said huffily, "It's that Weng Qinghua again! He's showing off his affection in front of me again!"
Wang Jia listened, smiled, and said, "Son, don't take it too seriously. Weng Qinghua is just showing off his happiness. How about I introduce someone to you too?"
Wang Cao's heart stirred at this.
"Really?"
"Absolutely!"
"Which auntie's daughter is it??"
"Auntie's daughter?"
"Yeah! Who is it? Do I know her?"
"You know her."
"Then it's..."
"Jiji (the Rabbit Demon), how about it? It's cute and soft, and its cultivation is high. Isn't it..."
Before he could finish, Wang Cao ruthlessly interrupted him.
"Dad... you're infuriating me..."
"Dad, you're joking, right!" Wang Cao said helplessly, "I want a girlfriend, not a pet! Besides, how can a Rabbit Demon and a human be together!"
Wang Jia scratched his head, "What's impossible about that? What age are we in now? Interspecies relationships are very normal."
"Anyway, this Heavenly Venerate cannot accept it, it's too much."
Wang Cao turned and went back to his room, slamming the door shut.
"This child..." Wang Jia sighed, muttering to himself, "I need to find a chance to have a good talk with him."
The Rabbit Demon beside him lowered its head in disappointment, not even eating its favorite carrot.
"Jiji..."
"Mmm, I know, my brat is a bit ungrateful. Once you transform into human form, he'll definitely regret it."
"Jiji..."
"Don't worry, I'll help you transform into human form as soon as possible. As for signing a contract with my brat, I'll talk to him about it later."
Wang Cao's mother opened the door and saw her husband talking to the Rabbit Demon, which was already a common sight.
Ever since Wang Jia awakened his talent, he was destined to deal with various Yao Beasts.
Fortunately, these Yao Beasts would voluntarily transform into the size of domestic pets when they were at his house; otherwise, the house couldn't withstand the Yao Beasts' digging.
She skillfully took out several large washbasins and placed them outside in the yard, then filled them with various kinds of Yao Beast meat.
The Yao Beasts that had been circling Wang Jia instantly flocked to Wang Cao's mother the moment they saw her bringing out the food bowls.
Wang Jia: "These guys, they usually cling to me the most, but at home, they especially cling to my wife. Humph..."
The Yao Beast ate the Yao Beast meat in the food bowl with satisfaction, extremely happy.
Just then, it suddenly stopped eating and looked outside cautiously.
The newcomers were Yi He, Xin Mulan, and Ni Tai Mei.
Yi He and the other two cautiously approached the Yao Beast, their eyes filled with curiosity and vigilance.
The Yao Beast sensed their presence and let out a low growl, warning them not to come closer.
Xin Mulan whispered, "This Yao Beast looks fierce. Be careful."
Ni Tai Mei nodded, gripping the weapon in his hand tightly, then hid behind Xin Mulan, simply because the one watching them was a Snake Demon.
Yi He stood outside the door and enthusiastically greeted Wang Jia: "Hi, Brother Wang, we're Wang Cao's friends. Is he home?"
Xin Mulan complained, "Just go in and say it! Your opening line is terrible."
Ni Tai Mei agreed, "Exactly, exactly."
Yi He gave up, "Fine, you guys go, I'll just give up!"
Originally, I was just there to make up the numbers. I was planning to go back to the coffee shop during my break, but I got dragged into work. It's really annoying.
Xin Mulan heard this, patted her chest, and confidently said, "Watch me!"
Wang Jia: "Wang Cao? Wait a moment..."
Xin Mulan: "Uncle Wang, wait, we're here to see you."
Wang Jia: "See me???"
Wang Cao's mother also came out, hearing the commotion, and looked at Xin Mulan and the other two with a puzzled expression.
Xin Mulan: "It's like this, a Desert Fox Dogs has appeared among the invaders this time. Knowing that you, Uncle Wang, are a Beast Tamer, we were hoping you could come and help. Would that be possible?"
Wang Jia: "Desert Fox Dogs?"
Wang Cao's mother: "What is that thing?"
Just as the few of them were discussing animatedly, Wang Cao, who was in his room, heard familiar voices, and then heard that his father was needed to help tame a Beast. He immediately fumbled to put on his shoes and rushed out.
"No, this Heavenly Venerate does not agree!!!"
Wang Cao's mother: "???"
Wang Jia: "My child has grown up; he knows how to worry about his father."
Xin Mulan: "Brat, you're asking for a beating! Why don't you agree? We'll protect Uncle Wang well; we won't let him get hurt."
Ni Tai Mei: "Yes, we will prioritize protecting your father; we won't let him get hurt."
Although he really wanted to go on strike, facing Wang Cao's obstruction, Yi He still stepped forward and said, "How about we go inside to talk? It's not convenient to chat at the doorway, right, everyone!"
"What a joke. How could this Heavenly Venerate's father be an ordinary Beast Tamer? How could he be compared to others? Where would he need your protection?"
Wang Cao stood with his hands on his hips, a proud expression on his face.
"Of course, Uncle Wang is the most powerful Beast Tamer here," Xin Mulan echoed.
"Anyway, this Heavenly Venerate just won't let him take risks!"
Wang Cao's attitude was very firm.
Yi He sighed heavily and said, "You should be very clear about our strength.
We know what you're most worried about, but this time, the Desert Fox Dogs are different from the situations we've encountered before.
Although their lethality isn't high, we still want your father to try to domesticate them for our use.
As for your father's safety, you don't need to worry at all, because we will prioritize ensuring his safety.
Of course, if you still feel uneasy, you can also choose to come with us.
How about it?"
Wang Cao was silent for a moment, not answering immediately.
At this moment, Wang Jia stepped forward and firmly stated, "I am naturally willing to do my part for the country. Moreover, as a Beast Tamer, I believe that under multiple layers of protection, no accidents should occur."
Then, he looked at Xin Mulan and Ni Tai Mei's slightly nervous expressions, and under their gaze, he resolutely nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go!"
