Looking at her body still wearing the School uniform, YieQi groggily go to the bathroom to take a bath.
Coming down the stair while yawning, she still feel tired. She doesn't want to go down, but her stomach grumble of hunger.
Only mom, dad, Shen Yue and herself having dinner tonight. Big brother didn't come home again today, probably busy.
Eating with big bite, YueQi could hear het mother dissatisfaction voice, "Such a big girl still eat like a starving ghost, the education our family gave is wasted down the drain."
Stopped chewing, YueQi looked at the annoyed face of her mother.
why...
Previously there's no problem of her eating like this... Our family never have those rigid table manner.
Looking at her dad face who also showed dissapointment at her, YueQi doesn't know what to do.
Why do she feel like her relationship with the her Family strained lately? Is it due to change of status?
Glancing at the cold faced Shen Yue who still eat with slow paced, elegantly. She feel that Shen Yue is the sole reason.
Yet deep in her heart, YueQi also known that it is herself who shouldn't have been here in the first place...
YueQi didn't know why she suddenly teleported here to an alternate world, and even replaced someone else.
She lost her appetite, but thinking that mom will scold her if she left the food uneaten, YueQi could only finish the food slowly.
After dinner end, she took one pack of nutrition liquids that big brother made, from the freezer back to my room.
Opening the liquid cap, she poured it slowly to a piece stalk of grass on the big pot.

*Evolution Route:*
?Tall Grass(Wood) ☆+★(White)
Note:
The greenest grass amongst its peers that grown on the roadside Villa.
Struggling to absord nutrients from the bare ground, but luckily got picked up by human and transplanted in a big pot.
Now it have no worries, because the human always poured tasty water to itself.
"... .. .. ..... ." ]
YueQi herself didn't know why she still keep this common grass for years.
Based on the note the Beast Taming Atlas notes, YueQi suspected that it was a normal grass at first but grow its spiritually after she poured nutritional liquids on it for years.
Well, Whatever... Just feed it as usual and treat it as spiritual healing hobby.
Hmmnn hmnn~
Seeing the grass absorb the remaining liquid as usual, YueQi goes down on her knees and dangling some Big Footed chicken breast.
"Come Taotie, go bite this meat and use Death Roll skill!"
Maybe the proficiency will go up like those in the game? Hehehe...
Taotie who heard his Master commanding him, cheerfully grabbed the meat and use his attack skill, Death Roll!
?
[ding! Proficiency of Death Roll, +1]
"Pffft!"
* \(???")/*
"why did Master laugh? Is there something funny?"
===;===;===;===;===;===;===;
2 week goes by unknowingly. The school day are always boring, be it in this life and on the last life too.
Maybe a bit different though. Here are a bit interesting, but she like quietness.
Some classmate always bragging about their Pet getting a dedicated Breeder & Nutrisionist to make plan for their diet etc, or some talked loudly on how their Pet become stronger each day after hired Fighting Instructor.
It seem the fever talk about thir first Pet not gonna be down soon.
The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.
Hearing their conversation and looking at the various Pets summoned in the classroom who keep making sound, YueQi could only sigh.
A few days ago during weekend, she tried the so called Junior Breeder test, feeling confident with her golden finger cheat.
Reality often not as beautiful as imagination, the exam test is mainly paper questions and no direct contact with the Extraordinary Creatures.
So she could only hand in blank paper, and the other examinee also looking toward her weirdly.
Fortunately she wear mask that day, or else they will see her embarrassing red face.
Not only she lost her newly founded confidence, she also lost the exam fee of 150.000 universal coins for nothing!
Since gotten Taotie, YueQi's pocket money and the saving from these 8years slowly decreasing at alarming rate.
After all, she want to try that Purple Quality evolution- Overlord of the River and Mountain.
She kinda miss Taotie a little, hopefully the School will be over soon...
===;===;===;===;===;===;===;
Looking at Taotie's who basically become a-stay-at-home-Pet. Sometime she think to herself, am i doing things right? Leaving him home, in the pond alone.
[Race: River Swamp Crocodile (Taotie)
Element: Water, Earth
Star Quality: ★☆☆☆☆(White)
Hatcling stage: 18/25
Size: 3.5 M/5 M
Skill:
#Death Roll (49/75) ★☆☆☆☆(+)

*Next evolution:*
>>?Giant Snapping Aligator, up to size 70M:
1. Eat (Blue) ★★★ Star Quality Aligator gars Fish Meat to absorb more water elements, Increase the scale defense, teeth and claw sharpness, and leather skin thickness.
The more the better~
Bonus: grow size faster until the limit set by the Race.
2. Max all skills proficiency before evolving.
3. The Pearl of Giant Sea Clam
4. water lilie, pickerelweed, swamp milkweed, and marsh marigold (1 stalk each)
5. Earth crystal ]
It seem that leaving Taotie in the villa and not bringing him to school have the best outcome to increase his strength.
His skill proficiency rise steadily even without her supervising him.
Hmmm.. not bad.
That Bite...
Taotie use two skill everyday just to eat the Aligator Gars fish.
Such high quality (Blue) fish meat. She can't even chop it using a kitchen knife.
Fortunately brother Yuan fire dog- BingBing, helped Taotie shredded them to small pieces for the young Croc to eat.
Looking at the now 3.5 meter Taotie in front of her, he is able to bite the Gars by himself using the Death Roll and then using the Bite skill.
These 2 skill gonna be the easiest one to raise. But looking at the swim skill that already pass the ceiling, YueQi didn't see any change on it.
7 more lv and Tao3 will end the Hatcling stage.
Next one should be Juvenile stage right?
She need to buy another 80kg of Blue quality Aligator gar fish. With this ammount, She's very sure that Taotie will reach max Lv, in a week.
Now that he already reach 3.5 Meter in size thanks to the hundreds kilos of Blue quality Aligator Gars he had eaten, his appetite will become bigger and bigger in the future.
Looking at the amount of money left on her phone banking..
She raised a money eating beast!
?
Fortunately she don't feel the heart wrenching pain for too long.
Looking at Taotie's stat, he grow so fast just by eating the food recommended by the Beast Taming Atlas!
"Taotie, you are so awesome! I love you so much!"
"Ang!" @(>_<)@
===;===;===;===;===;===;===;
?
The white car past through the long tunnel and come to a stop in front of the biggest Auction in the T- City Wall.
Shen YueQi, dad Shen, and Shen Yue come out of the car and walk inside the building through the side door.
"The reason dad take you two here is because your school monthly exam will start soon. They will measure your Pet strength and the proficiency of their skill.
Dad will give you two a chance to get some materials from the werehouse.
You probably already know the materials your Pet needed, So choose by yourself.
If you couldn't find any of the desired materials from the werehouse, dda will call other friend, for help.
You two contracted a reptilian beast, so this month, dad already gathered 3 Dragon Awakening Stone.
2 will go to A-Yue, and the rest will go to Qi-er".
Handing the stone to his two daughter, Shen dad finally sighed. He has 3 children and the family can't pour unlimited resources to all children.
He could only be unfair to some and cultivate the one with the biggest potential alone.
When Shen YueQi got a hold of the Dragon awakening stone, suddenly a blue dot appeared in front of her vision.
She could see the change in the Beast Taming Atlas.
It seem to be more active recently by its own..
Its a bit scary...
[detected a
Yes, No]
Pretending to store the stone in her pocket, YueQi said yes and the screen showed a progress.
The stone in her pocket also disappeared to the void.
[awakening dragon bloodline in progress... 0,1%...]
"Hm? What's wrong sister, Is there something in my face?"
"No" Shen Yue turn away her head and began to walk away, looking for materials in the other side row of the cabinet.
YueQi heart skip a beat.
There's no way that Shen Yue noticed the disappearance of the stone right?
She was sure it block other vision using her jacket pocket...
Seeing that she didn't say anything more, YueQi also began to try her guess.
'sytem? Hello?'
"..."
Well, nothing happen.
She thought too much. Her cheat seem to be dead things.
Touring the cabinet here and there, in the end YueQi could only found some Earth Crystal.
1/3 done.
After telling my dad the last 2 material I need. He look at me with complicated eyes.
"Qi-er, dad don't spesifically search on what material your River Swamp Crocodile needed to evolve.
But as dad know, the evolved route of Saltwater Crocodile or the Swamp King Crocodile didn't seem to need those materials. What are you going to do with them?
Be careful and don't listen to those garbage evolutionary plan the internet share!
If the evolution fail, it will affect your soul and brain.
You would also need to recuperate for 3year at the least, not only missed your university, it also affect your future career!
What if you becoming a fool or dead due to the backlash of the failed evolution!?"
"Dad, no, you missunderstood. I have my own plan, please don't worry about it. I plan to be a Breeder in the future and I have studied my own Pet carefully.
afterall unlike Shen Yue, I only have central qualification.
I won't harm my only soulmate in this life by doing random evolution, really, I swear", YueQi lowered her head guiltily as she can't bring the topic about her Beast Taming Atlas ability.
Unconvinced, Shen dad nagging Shen YueQi for a while and only stopped talking when his othet daughter A-Yue comeback.
Seeing that his real daughter didn't make a fuss unlike his adopted daughter, Shen dad could only shake his head in dissapointment.
He took his phone and called his son to see if he could get any materials Qi-er needed, by using his identity as Senior level Breeder.
Ending the phone call, Shen dad began to nag Shen YueQi again, "Anyway dad already warned you. Whatever happen later is the result of your choice."
Turned his body to his other daughter, he ask concerningly, "A-Yue how about you? Are you sure you got everything you need?
Mom and dad are still guilty about you, so if you need something, please don't be shy and tell dad. Dad will do his best to fulfill it."
"Its okay dad. I already forgive you all. Thank you for your care this month. I could feel your warm effort to make me feel like a home.
I have everything I need for my Snowflake evolution, I just want to go home soon if we are done here."
Shen Yue said with her usual straight face, then looked at me.
"you should ask Qi-er instead of me. She's also your daughter afterall."
"Nonsense! She already got the best life as the adopted daughter of our Shen family when you are gone.
We also didn't kick her out after you come back and willing to raise her until she become adult and go to college.
Didn't dad also bring her with you today to give her Materiala needed for her Pet evolution too?
So you doesn't need to feel bad about this okay? " Shen dad tried to explain.
"yes, dad is right."
Seeing that the girl nodded her head, Shen Yue stopped talking and began to play with her phone. Although she call the girl Qi-er and little sister in front of her parents, Shen Yue haven't fully accepted this stranger yet.
When her dad asked her if she need him to call a Breeder to monitor her Snowflake evolution, Shen Yue shake her head and said no need.
She want to evolve her Icy Snow Pet as soon as possible by herself.
"Okay, go home then. Good luck on the evolution. Remember to call the family once you successfully evolve. Dad still have something to do, the driver will take you two home."
After bidding goodbye, Uncle San drive her and her nominal sister back to our villa.
===;===;===;===;===;===;===;
1 week have passed since YueQi gotten her hand on the Dragon Awakening Stone.
The progress shown in the Beast Taming Atlas is really slow.
?
Looking at the afterglow of sunset, the sky at this moment look as beautiful as painting.
This world are trully breathtaking.
YueQi lie down on the reclainer until the sky darkened, then goes inside because she could feel the Bloody Mosquito starting to bite her arm.
Sitting in her study chair, she scroll down some short video on the social media, yet nothing interesting could be found.
Looking at the window, she still could see Taotie training himself in the pond.
The huge body of Taotie could be seen Rolling in the water, he make a huge splash making the water in the pond turbid.
She could also see that another +1 added to his Death Roll proficiency.
Actually her mom scolded her again about Taotie since last week.
Her mom raised some expensive ornamental Koi Fish in the pond before.
But since Taotie come, he became a bully in the pond and making those expensive fish die of stress.
There's no way around it, she couldn't possibly put the 4 Meter Taotie in the bathtub right?
He won't fit!
YueQi had the urge to share the big version of Taotie to LanLan. But she hold herself back.
She want to make a big suprise for her. This is why she never took her Pet to School.
Opened the camera, YueQi plant to take some videos for memo, she zoomed in to make it nearer, but before she clicked the record button, she actually see Taotie's Stat across the screen!
She hurriedly switching to the front camera for a selfie.
An argument online in her past life suddenly appear out of nowhere.
There's no way right?
She can't stop her curiosity, the best she could do is try to squint her eyes.
Staring at herself in the camera hoping the Beast Taming Atlas will react to her, as a joke of course.
However, it really showed her information!
===;===;===;===;===;===;===;===;
Author Note:
Im very Sorry.
For the Crocodile part, i can't find any crocodiles related video to make it a gif.
So i could only use Aligators for Taotie's illustration in using his skill in future chap.
there are a bunch of aligator videos on youtube, but not a single crocodiles (hatcling) ??
Anyway its fantasy setting, so....I hope you could accept it.
This novel of mine is NSFW as in (gore, blood, unsettling picture etc. So i wonder if i should put warning on the chapter before the scene appear?)
