16: Chapter 16: I'm not looking at the black dog anymore, it's boring.

As soon as Dahei walked up to the White Fox, having witnessed everything that just happened, the White Fox immediately, like a protective mother, covered the remaining Ball Squirrel leg.

A pair of lively, slightly watery fox eyes gazed at Dahei, looking both vigilant and somewhat pitiful.

Wasn't this guy the dog raised by Mu Xue's partner? They had met before; why was it coming to steal its food?

Dahei: ?

What is this little fox doing? Protecting even a tiny leg of meat? Do I look like the kind of person who would steal someone else's food? Do you think this is the meat in my Big Brother's bowl?

Dahei didn't quite understand and felt a bit disdainful, but since the other party was Bai Muxue's tamed beast after all, and considering it often ate and drank at Bai Muxue's house in the past, it still stated its purpose.

"Woof." [Little fox, can you get full on that little bit? How about I share a section of wolf leg with you?]

It wasn't here to steal its food? It wanted to share food with it?

The White Fox, which had been feeling a bit aggrieved, immediately stopped feeling so. Its fox eyes brightened significantly, and it no longer shielded that bit of Ball Squirrel, instead straightening its body.

"Ying?" [White Fox: You want to give me food?]

Dahei didn't speak again but shook its head, signaling the White Fox to follow it.

Seeing this, the White Fox was still reluctant to part with that bit of Ball Squirrel meat, so it trotted happily behind Dahei with the meat in its mouth, watching Dahei's figure with curious eyes.

This black dog didn't seem as bad as it looked just now? Then why did it steal that chicken's food? And after stealing it, it didn't even eat it, but gave it to a pig instead.

Returning to its spot, Dahei immediately tore off a small black wolf leg and tossed it to the White Fox.

"Woof." [Eat up. You're so small; you need to eat more to grow.]

When the wolf leg was tossed in front of the White Fox, it was startled, seemingly finding it hard to understand the other party's behavior. It couldn't figure out why the other party wanted to give it food.

It had only met it once, right?

"Ying ying?" [White Fox: Why do you want to give me food? We've only met once.]

Facing the White Fox's inquiry, Dahei, which was tearing into the black wolf meat to eat, replied with a whimper.

"Woof-woo..." [Your master often gives me food too. Since you are her tamed beast, I'll share some with you. Plus, you're too small, and even the meat allocated to you was just a tiny piece...]

Yes, when assigning opponents, because the White Fox was only slightly larger than the Ball Squirrel, Instructor Liu Jun was afraid that the White Fox's combat ability wasn't high, so he assigned a slightly smaller Ball Squirrel. As it turned out, the White Fox's movements were agile and decisive.

Seizing the opportunity, it almost instantly bit the Ball Squirrel's trachea and snapped it.

Mu Xue? Did Mu Xue raise this black dog before? Could it be that among humans, females help males raise spirit beasts?

The White Fox, which was already intelligent, and with the Life and Death Contract, thought more keenly than Dahei; someone like Dahei wouldn't think so much.

Just as the White Fox was spacing out, Dahei, who was swallowing meat, reached out a blood-stained paw and patted its head.

"Woof." [What are you spacing out for? Hurry up and eat. This half of a wolf leg plus what you already have is definitely enough to eat. My Big Brother said he won't take me back until the sky starts to get dark, and there's still a long time to go.]

Not going back until the sky gets dark?

The White Fox subconsciously looked up at the sky; the sun was still hanging high. It reckoned that what Dahei said was right, and there was still a long time before the sky started to get dark.

Seeming to think of something, a layer of curiosity clouded the White Fox's eyes.

"Ying?" [White Fox: Then why did you steal that chicken's food? Why not steal other spirit beasts' food?]

"Woof." [Its master's look at my Big Brother wasn't right, and his attitude toward my Big Brother wasn't right either. That I didn't eat that chicken too was only out of respect for my Big Brother.]

Not far away, the Fire-Treading Tiger, which had been watching the show until now, had a huge tiger face filled with human-like astonishment and confusion.

This dog... how does this dog know how to please a female beast? Giving meat and patting its head? Who did it learn that from? Did its Beast Tamer teach it?

The Fire-Treading Tiger didn't understand and frowned, but it was greatly surprised and really wanted to learn a trick or two. It was already five years old and hadn't even touched a female tiger, let alone had offspring; it was truly embarrassing for a tiger.

However, this black dog wasn't brainless; it knew that killing other people's Beast Tamers would bring big trouble to its Beast Tamer, so it only stole food.

Seeing the interaction between Dahei and the White Fox, the Fire-Treading Tiger's interest waned significantly.

Not watching anymore. It's boring.

It closed its tiger eyes and began to sleep.

Nearby, the Brocade Fighting Chicken, whose food had been stolen, had witnessed everything Dahei did from start to finish. It was so angry that its large chicken breast heaved violently, and its pair of chicken eyes began to turn red, but it just didn't dare to approach.

The other party could quickly kill a wolf of the same size, so it wouldn't be a match for that black dog.

Just you wait. When my Beast Tamer comes to pick me up, I will definitely make you spit out everything you ate.

Time slipped away little by little, after lunch.

The afternoon class was still Wang Chunfa's, and at the same time, half of the afternoon was for self-study to review the lessons taught during the day.

In other words, Beast Taming Class 1 only had one teacher, Wang Chunfa, for theory classes; the remaining two Beast Taming Classes were the same, both having only one teacher.

This wasn't because they couldn't afford to hire teachers or lacked teaching staff, but because they feared that teachers might collude with individual students, leading to undesirable and malicious incidents.

There had been many cases in the past where teachers acted like 'dogs' for students with some background or ability at home, providing convenience to the students in exchange for help from their families to advance themselves.

It was after that that Beast Taming Classes would only have one teacher and one instructor to supervise each other. Once a violation was discovered, with evidence reported, the federal government would directly reward 500,000 federal currency.

And all of that teacher's tamed beasts under a Master-Servant Contract would be killed. As for how to identify whether it was a Master-Servant Contract?

Heh, by that time, confessing proactively would actually be better for oneself.

As for now, Beast Taming Class 1 was conducting self-study.

Wang Chunfa sat at the podium, drinking tea to moisten his throat, his eyes constantly scanning below. He didn't care about those chatting quietly without disturbing others; after all, it was a class that had just merged today.

It was necessary for classmates to get used to each other.

He didn't care about those resting on their desks either; after all, they were just a group of teenagers who had just stepped onto the path of a Beast Tamer, and they had been studying all day from morning until now.

Resting during the final self-study class was reasonable and permissible.

Suddenly, Wang Chunfa saw someone learning from Qin Ding, sitting directly on their chair with their eyes closed, cultivating. He raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything.

Since it was self-study, they could cultivate if they wanted to, as long as they didn't act like Qin Ding during normal classes.

As for why?

There were no so many whys. As long as you could surpass Qin Ding in the physical test, Qin Ding's privileges would be revoked, and you would take his place. The world of Beast Tamers was just that simple.

Only the strong and the excellent had the right to make rules and demand preferential treatment.

"About time."

Turning his head to look at the dusky sky outside the window, Wang Chunfa glanced at his phone; it was 5:30.

"Alright, class dismissed. Everyone go retrieve your Beast Tamers and head home early. Remember Instructor Liu Jun's words: if you bring your Beast Tamers to school, put them in our class's Iron Garden immediately."
