Others Tame Beasts, I Tame Demons - Chapter 14

Chapter 14: The Shameful Thorn Grass

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Although this Thorn Grass had great potential, it was only an Apprentice-level two-star extraordinary creature now.

After struggling for a while, the hexagram array still forced its way into its body.

In the next moment, the Thorn Grass suddenly disappeared. When it reappeared, it had already entered Su Yi’s Beast Taming Space.

At this moment, Su Yi could clearly feel that he had already established a soul connection with this Thorn Grass.

Ding! Congratulations on successfully contracting a pet with king-level potential.

“It worked!”

He clenched his fists, his joy indescribable.

He had really contracted a pet with king-level potential! This feeling was like a dream!

Excited, he immediately tried to communicate with this Thorn Grass.

Mental communication was a basic ability that all Beast Tamers would master. They could communicate directly with their pets through mental connections.

Now that Su Yi was considered an apprentice-level Beast Tamer, he naturally had this ability.

Except that, no matter how hard he called, the Thorn Grass ignored him.

Not only that, but he could clearly feel the Thorn Grass struggling in his Tamed Beast Space, as if trying to break free from the bonds of the contract.

What a wild creature.

“Don’t waste your energy. With your current strength, it’s impossible for you to counterattack a Beast Tamer. If you really want to break free from the contract, work hard to improve yourself. When your spiritual energy level surpasses mine by two levels, you might be able to do it.”

Su Yi reminded it kindly.

The words were useful. The Thorn Grass did quiet down.

Immediately, anger, indignation, and sadness—these were the emotions it transmitted. It was like a young girl being forcibly abducted into a marriage.

Ah… well…

Su Yi read its emotions and felt a strong sense of guilt.

“Don’t be like this. You make me seem like a bad person. It’s only natural for Beast Tamers to capture pets. It’s like a wolf wanting to eat a sheep. Can you understand?”

Anger, indignation, sadness…

“Alright, it seems like you can’t understand. But it doesn’t matter. I can promise you that from now on, you will be my closest companion. I will definitely treat you like family!”

Anger, indignation, sadness…

“Actually, there are benefits to becoming a Beast Tamer’s pet. The Beast Taming Space can greatly increase your growth speed. Outside, you might need a year or two to evolve into a Thorn Vine, but in the Beast Taming Space, it can be shortened to a few months.”

Anger, indignation, sadness…

“Still no luck?”

Su Yi thought for a while and suddenly said, “Since you’ve already become my pet, I’ll provide you with a Wood Spirit Stone every month!”

Huh?

The Thorn Grass visibly flinched.

The next moment, the emotion it conveyed finally changed.

Surprise, joy, longing…

Really?

Sensing these positive emotions, Su Yi was amused. This change in attitude was too fast!

However…

“Sorry, I was just saying. Even if I sell all my belongings now, I won’t be able to exchange for a single Wood Spirit Stone. I’ll fulfill this promise when I’m rich in the future.”

Su Yi spread his hands and said helplessly.

Shock, condemnation, frustration, shame, indignation, self-pity…

“You’re surprisingly emotional!”

Feeling these messy emotions, Su Yi was shocked.

“Since you have such rich emotions, your intelligence shouldn’t be low. I’m curious why you didn’t burrow into the ground like the other high-intelligence Thorn Grasses. Could it be that you want to disguise yourself as a low-intelligence species to fool others?”

“Wait, let me analyze it for you. Do you like the feeling of fooling humans? When you use this method to fool those Beast Tamers, will you mock them in your heart? Those humans are indeed a bunch of idiots.”

Shock, grievance, remorse, remorse, remorse…

“Hahaha, looks like I guessed right!”

Su Yi couldn’t help but laugh. This little guy was really interesting.

Bai Zhining and Zhang Xiaotong didn’t know what he had communicated with the Thorn Grass. Seeing him suddenly standing there with a silly smile, they couldn’t help but feel a little strange.

“Thorn Grass is recognized as one of the least promising pets. I don’t know why you’re still so happy.”

Bai Zhining turned around, trying to see something in his eyes.

“I don’t agree with that. The Thorn Grass isn’t as bad as you think. After evolving into a Thorn Tree, it can also grow to the elite level. If you’re lucky, it can even grow to the king level. Isn’t the Thorn Holy Tree in Thorn City at the king level? That’s how Thorn City got its name.”

Su Yi smiled and replied, looking very optimistic.

“You’re right. After evolving into a Thorn Tree, it can indeed grow to the elite level, but the Thorn Grass that can evolve into a Thorn Tree is one in a million. As for the Thorn Holy Tree, there’s only one in the world at the moment. Do you think your Thorn Grass can be that lucky? The potential of extraordinary creatures is related to intelligence. Your Thorn Grass doesn’t even seem to know how to avoid humans.”

Bai Zhining couldn’t help but pour cold water on him.

At this moment, she had completely rejected the idea that this junior might have awakened a special talent.

If he really awakened a premonition talent, would he contract a Thorn Grass?

You’re joking!

“Is it possible that the reason why the Thorn Grass I contracted didn’t burrow into the ground in advance wasn’t because it had low intelligence, but because it was too intelligent and knew that no one would pay attention to it if it obediently stayed on the ground, so it went the opposite way and was coincidentally caught by me?”

Su Yi asked with a smile.

“Huh?”

Bai Zhining’s eyes widened in confusion.

The opposite way? The probability of such a fantastical thing happening was probably lower than winning the lottery!

However, before she could speak, Su Yi continued, “Hahaha, I was just joking. Senior, you don’t have to take it to heart. Of course, there won’t be such a stupid Thorn Grass in the world.”

So it was just a joke.

Bai Zhining shook her head and didn’t say anything else.

Thorny Grass: Frantic, ashamed, ashamed, ashamed…

“Su Yi, your hands…”

Zhang Xiaotong suddenly noticed something. She covered her mouth and pointed at Su Yi’s hands.

Su Yi looked down and remembered that his hand had been pierced by the Thorn Grass. Red blood was dripping down his leather gloves.

“This pair of leather gloves is wasted.”

His heart ached at the sight of the pierced leather gloves.

However, on the other hand, if an apprentice two-star Thorn Grass could easily pierce through leather gloves, wouldn’t it be even more powerful when it grew up?
