Beast Taming: I'm Really Just a Forest Ranger

"Captain, why aren’t you congratulating Chen Gu in person?" The Wild Boar felt puzzled.

Nie Li’s tone was cool, "We’ve got too much work delayed, we should head back."

"Oh....." The Wild Boar nodded and then muttered, "Returning neither earlier nor later, but at this very moment, the captain must be scared."

Nie Li shot a death stare.

The Wild Boar whistled, looking around, "Today’s sun, no, the moon is so round."

Continuous cheering had left Zhang Hao’s voice hoarse, yet he remained on site, handing out little red envelopes to every member of the fan club.

"Everyone gets one, let’s share the good fortune." Zhang Hao waved a fistful of red envelopes.

"Wahhh, being a fan for so many years, this is the first time getting a red envelope."

Opening the envelope, besides crisp notes, there was a card with a photo and detailed address of Good Fortune Farmhouse, and a prominent sentence—Good Fortune Farmhouse welcomes you.

"Disciple, have you eaten enough?" Huo Hong had expected Chen Yuan’s championship win and was more concerned if Mei had eaten her fill.

"Seventy percent full." Mei patted her belly, a big smile on her face.

"Then let’s go." Huo Hong stood up.

Mei tugged at Huo Hong’s clothes, raising her puzzled face, "Master, where are we going?"

"Shu Province, there are more money-making opportunities there."

"Then... will I be able to eat enough?" Mei blinked.

"Yes!"

Shi Gang raised his head forty degrees, showing off his strong arms with a grin, took a selfie and edited the caption, then posted on social media: Congratulations to Advisor Chen on winning the Da Feng Cup championship. Shamelessly saying, I too had a hand in sending him to the finals, this victory partly owes to me.

Comments shot up like bamboo sprouts after rain.

"No problem! This championship indeed relates closely to Advisor Shi."

"Feel like Advisor Chen’s skill is breaking rules, unbelievably strong."

"Qin Province’s top Beastmaster deserves no dispute!"

"Actually, if Advisor Shi’s two Pet Beasts could break through, they might be Advisor Chen’s biggest competitors, given your prior back-and-forth with Advisor Chen."

Xuanhe Village,

The moment Chen Yuan won, the whole village suddenly erupted.

Colorful fireworks blossomed in the night sky, piercing through the dark and silent mountain range.

"Ah! Why does he happen to hail from this village!" Villagers from other villages slapped their thighs in lament.

The village chief raised his head, walking deliberately in front of outsiders, hands behind his back, speaking energetically, "It’s too late, don’t make a long journey back."

"Stay in our village tonight; we’ve built quite a few houses, plenty of vacant rooms."

"It’s just right; our villages haven’t had good communication for a while. You can see our village’s recent development and changes, and offer some valuable suggestions."

Outsiders: "..."

After settling the outsiders, the wild Pet Beasts posed a challenge for the previously confident village chief.

After the competition, the two Earth Bears left with many wild Pet Beasts, but several little fellows refused to leave, clinging to the children without moving.

Song Guohao pondered, "In any case, these few Pet Beasts are quite tame; raising them in the village isn’t bad."

"Village Chief, currently there’s strong emphasis above on harmonious coexistence between humans and Pet Beasts, isn’t this the best practice of that principle?"

Run Run Duck lay on a deck chair, using its wings to rock it up and down, its smile gradually wicked, "Quack quack!"

The fact that Big Sister and Cola are growing stronger means I can easily muddle through life now.

Moreover...

Just flapping my wings could send those Pet Beasts trying to curry favor with Big Sister and Cola to catch Spirit Fish for me, Duck!

Thinking and thinking, Run Run Duck felt a blissful life beckoning.

But before that, let’s safely take the little ones back to the farm.

"Quack quack~"

Duck indicated for the little ones to follow it home.

A moment after the competition, the previous bustle receded into the dark night, and all villagers gradually returned home.

Chen Weiyi led the way ahead with the Cold-Biting Ox, a flashlight lighting the road to the farm.

Duck followed closely behind, while having to stick close to Chen Weiyi, it occasionally looked back to check if any buddies were left behind.

"Quack quack quack!"

Exhausted Duck!

I absolutely won’t agree to the farm owner’s requests again!

"Quack quack quack~"

On the way home it was a bit cold, the chilling wind gusted occasionally, the Fallen Meteor Horned Beast moved to the far right, its large body blocking the cold wind for its buddies.

Suddenly, the flashlight went out, as Chen Weiyi was about to take out his phone, Electric Flying Cat flew into the air, its body bursting with bright electric light, tearing through the dark night once more.

All the little ones cast admiring glances.

"Dian Dian!"

Electric Flying Cat held its head high with pride, but suddenly thought of a white silhouette, feeling a pang of sadness.

If it could witness this scene, would it see me in a new light?

Wood Spirit Rat’s family hopped all the way, their little paws gripping the lollipop tightly given by Zhao.

This is the tastiest thing they’ve ever had!

Better than spring water and tree fruit.

"Quack quack quack~"

Seeing the little ones didn’t need its care, Run Run Duck let out a lengthy sigh of relief, unconsciously humming its own Duck song, beating its wings rhythmically, its song reverberating in the night.

After a while,

Faint light reflecting in his eyes, Iron Head stepped out from the main entrance, face stern, nodding slightly.

You’re back.

The farm is safe.

At the same moment,

Chen Yuan broke away from a crowd of passionate fans and journalists, finally returning to the hotel.

Gently placing the championship trophy on the table, Chen Yuan solemnly spoke to Cola, "Don’t run around the room."

"Ow!"

Cola understood the underlying meaning, nodding repeatedly, then turned its gaze to the gleaming trophy, its mouth spreading into a grin.

Hehehe, this is my trophy.

"Come on, let’s go out to eat." Chen Yuan donned a cap and sunglasses, calling the three little ones to go out.

Earlier, he promised a feast after the competition, now was the time to fulfill that promise.

"Aww..."

Cola reluctantly gazed at the championship trophy, a sudden thought bursting within.

What if the trophy gets stolen when they’re gone?

Thinking this, Cola gazed wide, reaching its paws to hug the trophy tightly.

I must protect the trophy!

Chen Yuan, with an expressionless face, tugged Cola’s tail, pulling it outside, speaking calmly, "Stop adding drama, there’s big pork knuckles tonight."

"Ow!"

Cola released the trophy, nudging Chen Yuan with its head.

Let’s go let’s go!

Much later,

"Cheers!"

As a crisp sound rang out, glasses clinked together, reflecting a series of smiling faces.

Approaching December, Phoenix City’s temperature dropped further, icy winds continuing outside, while indoors was lively and warm.

"Master, aren’t we going to Shu Province?" Mei lowered her head, swallowing saliva.

Huo Hong placed a big pork knuckle on her plate with a smile, "Well, will you eat it?"

"Eat!" Mei acted fast, burying her face into the plate.

The round table was laden with dishes, rich aromas wafting, just one glance made mouths water.

Chen Yuan invited those who had specially attended the scene to support and cheer him on over the past days.

Including the master-disciple pair Huo Hong and Mei, the sister pair Yang Yue and Li Qing, the couple Lin Hongwei and Gong Jia, and certainly the single Stone Gang.

Spark was fully focused on dealing with the food on its plate; Cola was surrounded by several Pet Beasts, passionately recounting its journey to victory; Twin Flower Concubine was also surrounded by a few attentive Pet Beasts but simply stared at Chen Yuan’s back in silence.

Chen Yuan raised his glass, "Thanks to everyone for your support during this time."

Huo Hong smiled gently, "I should be thanking Advisor Chen for the treat."

Mei’s cheeks were full, holding a pork knuckle in one hand and a cup of milk tea in the other, speaking indistinctly, "@##￥@￥"

Huo Hong translated, "Advisor Chen, Mei is also congratulating you."

After some laughter, the host Zhang Hao raised his glass with a cheerful smile, "Friends, next month Xuanhe Village will host the first Qinling Riding Contest, you’re welcome to come and join."
