Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

Seeing Bai Qi’s surprised expression, Madame Bai couldn’t help but laugh. She quickly moved forward, taking a good look at Bai Qi while constantly asking, “My dear son, how have you been? Did you start dating? Why did you put on so much weight? Have you been slacking on your studies?…”

The barrage of questions left Bai Qi in tears of laughter. He gently pushed his mother’s hand away, saying, “Mom, can you take a breath? If you don’t need it I say I need it.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhu rolled her eyes and said, “You brat! It’s only been a few months, and you’ve already learned to be so cheeky.”

Bai Qi gave a broad grin, replying, “Well, it’s been too long since I last sawyou, mom. A bit of cheekiness is in order.”

Luo Zhu smiled, patting Bai Qi’s head and then saying nostalgically, “In just a few months, you’ve managed to grow so tall.”

Bai Qi took her words in, examining himself from top to bottom. It was only then that he realized that he had actually grown much taller than before.

I guess it must be due to the feedback from my upgraded pets.”

Thanks to the Evolution Egg, each time he had managed to maximize his attributes before advancing, his physical health was considerably better than Beast Masters of the same rank. But as for him growing taller, he had genuinely not noticed.

“That’s true, after Beast Masters level up, their physical health does indeed improve accordingly.”

Luo Zhu nodded, saying, “I heard from Ke that you’ve already advanced to the fourth stage? You’ve made me proud, my handsome son!”

“Ke?”

On hearing the name, Bai Qi instinctively looked towards Lan Ke.

In this office, it seemed that Lan Ke was the only one with ‘Ke’ in his name right?

His mom even knows Master Lan?

With thoughts of these connections in mind, Bai Qi became more certain than ever of his second-generation status, and his mind had already begun to conceive of what hush-money he had to extract from his dad and mom.

Hmm, even someone as legendary as him calls him Ke, asking for a piece or two of Mythical Level resources wouldn’t be too much, right?

“Bai Qi, be mindful of your manners.”

Seeing Bai Qi’s attitude, Bai Yan frowned, saying, “You are now under the jurisdiction of the Association. You should at least call him Master Lan.” “I apologize, Master Lan.”

Seeing this, Bai Qi immediately conceded defeat. Both his parents were researchers, but their characters were as different as night and day. His mother wasn t exactly strict, but you could say she was rather tough.

Noticing this, Lan Ke lightly smiled, saying, “Bai Yan, you are still as strict as ever. Bai Qi is not like you at all.”

“Exactly, my intelligent son must have taken after me. If he were to take after Bai Yan, he would definitely be a blockhead as well,” Luo Zhu said, proudly lifting her chin. Bai Yan was about to retort, but when he met Luo Zhu’s gaze, he held back his words.

Family dynamics, as they say.

‘By the way, mom, what are you guys doing here? Aren’t you researchers from our family corporation? When did you join the Association?”

Luo Zhu shook her head, replying, “We didn’t join the Association. Our corporation has a partnership with the Association so we came for some fieldwork and decided to check up on old friends.”

While saying this, Luo Zhu pointed at Lan Ke, saying, “Back in school, we were known as the best of friends. Lan Ke went on to become a legend while I became a researcher. Since then, we’ve rarely seen each other.”

Bai Qi realized then. Turns out his own mother had these kinds of connections and judging by their current interaction, the two of them seemed to have a fairly good relationship?

“So, mom and dad, how long are you guys going to stay here?”

Bai Yan replied, “We’re just here to acquire some materials. As soon as we confirm the information is correct, we’ll leave. It was Master Lan who said you were in the Tower of Knowledge, so we had you summoned.”

So, if he wasn’t here, they didn’t plan on calling him over?

A true father indeed!

Son, don’t listen to your father. It will take several days to extract the Ancient Biological Embryo. We’re not leaving anytime soon,” Luo Zhu shot Bai Yan a stern glare, then looked at Bai Qi tenderly, saying, “It’s been a while since I last had the chance to spend time with my adorable son. I don’t plan on leaving just yet. Bai Yan, you can go back if you want.”

Bai Yan opened his mouth to say something but ended up just sighing in resignation. Bai Qi responded with a sympathetic look, then obediently moved closer to Luo Zhu, saying, “Sounds good, let me show you my Four-head Pets. Oh, I also befriended a Legendary Giant Dragon.”

“Legendary Giant Dragon?!”

Hearing Bai Qi’s words, Luo Zhu’s eyes shone with an unusual light, and she asked, “What attribute does the dragon have? How long has it lived? Son, are you familiar with it? Can we get some of its bodily tissues? We don’ t require much, just a bit of blood, skin, scales, flesh, and innards.”

Seeing his mother instantly switched into work mode, Bai Qi’s eye twitched slightly.

I can understand scales, but she wants flesh and innards too? It seems like mom, from dissecting frogs in the lab, has become interested in dissecting dragons?

He suddenly regretted mentioning Nicholas…

“Luo Zhu, it’s a legendary creature, not a test subject from your lab. You can put that thought out of your mind.”

Lan Ke seemed to have a headache dealing with Luo Zhu’s approach, saying, It s good that Bai Qi doesn’t have to participate in the training for a while, so just let Bai Qi show you and Bai Yan around the headquarters. I still have to oversee the analysis of the White Meeh so I won’t be accompanying you.” “Alright.”

Hearing Lan Ke’s words, Luo Zhu sighed in disappointment. Bai Yan finally seized his chance to speak, smoothening out his face to say, “No training? Could it be that you performed poorly, Bai Qi, and got kicked out of the training camp?”

“Uh, dad, could you have a little faith in your son?”

Bai Qi looked at Bai Yan speechlessly, replying, “I am now a member of the analysis team. The head of the Association made a special exception for me, exempting me from the training.”

“The analysis team? You?”

Bai Yan looked at Bai Qi somewhat surprised, seemingly unable to connect Bai Qi to what had just been shared.

“The two of you, as parents you’re really slacking off,” he said.

Lan Ke displayed a rare helpless expression and said, “Bai Qi has already obtained ownership of a Rune’s core patent, and has further developments in this regard. I sent out the patent application this morning, so we should receive an answer soon.”

“Moreover, unexpectedly, Bai Qi should soon hold a mechanical engineering core patent.”

Bai Yan: “…”

Luo Zhu:

After a long time, Bai Yan and Luo Zhu finally regained their composure and looked at Bai Qi with complexity in their eyes.

Although they never failed Bai Qi financially, they did indeed lack in concern for him. Bai Qi had been quite independent since childhood, thus he never gave them much to worry about.

However, they absolutely did not think that their son could have accomplished so much in just a few months.

“He is indeed my son, born for research!”

Luo Zhu smacked Bai Qi’s shoulder hard, then turned to Lan Ke, saying, “Ke, why don’t you let Bai Qi join the Tower of Knowledge? Don’t waste such great talent.”

Lan Ke chuckled, “That’s not up to me, it’s up to Bai Qi. There are many Tower Masters in the Six Tower who have taken a liking to Bai Qi. It’s not my turn yet.”

At these words, Bai Yan was stunned, suddenly finding his son Bai Qi somewhat unfamiliar. A sense of guilt involuntarily rose in his heart.

Bai Qi, where’s your dorm? Can you share your recent experiences with us?”

Hearing Bai Yan speak, Bai Qi nodded. “Sure, I’ll take you to my secret spot. My dorm is a bit far from here.”

“A secret spot?”

Bai Yan and Luo Zhu looked at each other, but thinking of Lan Ke’s mention of

Bai Qi’s achievements, they were not surprised.

Let s not rush. Let’s go see your dorm first.”

Luo Zhu declined the proposal to head straight to the secret spot and planned to leave with Bai Qi.

“Wait.”

Lan Ke stopped them, then turned to Lu Qing and said, “Qing’er, can you take them to the housing area and arrange accommodations?”

“Sure, teacher.”

Lu Qing nodded silently, not refusing.

“I’m sorry, elder brother, Luo Zhu, I can’t be away for too long, so I won’t accompany you,” said Lan Ke apologetically to Bai Yan and Luo Zhu. Bai Yan shook his head and said, “Business comes first, we will be fine with Bai Qi.” “Ke, you go ahead. We can handle it ourselves.”

Luo Zhu waved her hand and walked to Lu Qing, saying, “So you’re that disciple

Ke always talks about. You’re truly a beauty.”

“Madam, you’re the real beauty. I can’t match up.”

To Bai Qi’s astonishment, Lu Qing didn’t respond sarcastically as usual.

Instead, she flattered Luo Zhu smoothly, immediately making Luo Zhu laugh heartily. The two of them disregarded Bai Qi and Bai Yan, and they walked out hand in hand like bosom friends.

“Hey, dad, do you think mom’s been fooled by her charm?” asked Bai Qi, watching Lu Qing and hanging around Bai Yan.

Bai Yan, with a twitch of his lips, said, “Set your mind at ease. So far no one’s been able to trick your mother. Let’s hope she doesn’t end up tricking others.” Well, that’s a relief,” sighed Bai Qi. However, Bai Yan’s next words had him worried again.

“But knowing your mother, it’s quite possible she’s taken a fancy to Lu Qing.”

“What? Does mom play for that team?!”

“Don’t think too much at your young age. Your mother might want Lu Qing to be her daughter-in-law.”

Lu Qing? Daughter-in-law? Sheesh, it did seem like something his mother would do.

Bai Qi: “Dad, is it too late to dissociate myself from you guys?”

Bai Yan: “Are you asking for a beating again?”

“Forget I said anything.”

Bai Qi sighed at the sight of the two chatty women in front and quickly changed the subject. “Dad, mom said you came to retrieve some ancient biological embryo? Who exactly are you working for?”

Bai Yan shook his head saying, “Business secret, no comments.”

Bai Qi: “Not even for your own son?”

Bai Yan: “Aren’t you the one who wanted to dissociate?”

Bai Qi: “My bad.”
