After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer

Chen Xing had heard of Chaos Crystals.

It was rumored to be something even deities despised because legends claimed that Chaos Crystals contained a power that could corrupt Divinity.

Moreover, since the output was very low, Chaos Crystals had become a strategic resource, used to make certain special weapons.

Chen Xing had found more information through the internal database of Firelight.

The source of Chaos Crystals was in the North Abyss Canyon.

Currently, Great Xia mainly acquired Chaos Crystals through trade with other powers because of their scarce stock and special functionality, so they were regulated within Great Xia.

Of course, Chen Xing guessed that the most important reason might be because Chaos Crystals possessed the power to corrupt Divinity, which could threaten Ascension Level beings.

They naturally would not allow it to circulate freely among the public.

Chen Xing had obtained three pieces of Chaos Crystals through internal channels, trading them for military merits.

Together they weighed a total of 410g, and it had depleted all his remaining military merits.

Soon, the Chaos Crystals were delivered to Chen Xing, handed over by the army's dedicated transport personnel.

Then, Chen Xing purchased the remaining ingredients for Buddha Jumps Over the Wall from several channels in the market, mingling genuine with fake ingredients, also including some to mislead onlookers.

When all the ingredients were ready, Chen Xing began making Buddha Jumps Over the Wall immediately.

In the kitchen, the curtains were drawn.

Looking from the living room, Chen Xing's figure, wearing an apron, appeared exceptionally busy.

A flash of golden light flickered in the kitchen from time to time.

Coming home from school, Chen Lingya curiously peeked and muttered, "Is this cooking or welding?"

Snickering to herself, Chen Lingya didn't bother to look closer; after all, her little brother's secrets were plentiful, and welding in the kitchen hardly added to the mystery.

Five hours later, four servings of steaming Buddha Jumps Over the Wall were freshly prepared.

Mainly because it required simmering along the way, the heat couldn't be too high nor too low, and Chen Xing needed to keep a constant watch on the freshness of the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

Perfect for four Beast Tamings, each receiving a portion.

This Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was quite expensive.

The 410g of Chaos Crystals had bought just enough for four servings, with each serving requiring 100g of Chaos Crystals.

The broth of the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was thick, resembling golden divine fluid, with many small particles twinkling like stars within.

Chen Xing summoned four Beast Tamings, among them Taotie had used a pet body shape correction to shrink its size beforehand, and presented the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall in front of them.

Dong Jun bent down to smell it and couldn't help sticking out his tongue to lick it.

The next second, his eyes lit up.

The taste buds of Beast Tamings were different from humans; many foods that humans liked were not necessarily tasty to Beast Tamings.

But the delicacies in the Stone Booklet were different, their flavors differing from the ingredients enjoyed by humans.

Yet, for Beast Tamings, they were just right.

Maybe the flavor varied for different Species of Beast Tamings, but their appreciation for fine food was consistent.

After licking it, Dong Jun bent down, lay on the ground, and with a flick of his large tongue, half of the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall disappeared.

Broth spilled on the ground, and Dong Jun nibbled the surrounding grass along with it.

Taotie acted the fastest—upon smelling it, he immediately opened his mouth and swallowed the bowl whole.

Smacking his lips, he ate so quickly it seemed he hadn't even tasted it yet.

So his gaze fell on Little Xu.

Noticing Taotie's look, Little Xu, having tasted just a few bites, warily eyed the large fellow and, clutching his bowl, vanished on the spot.

Taotie withdrew his disappointed gaze, then turned it toward Sìxiàng.

Compared to the other three Beast Tamings, Sìxiàng ate with the most elegance, using his fingertips to dab the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall's broth, slowly savoring it against a wall.

All the delicacies made by the master are tasty, gulping them down rudely is the greatest desecration to the delicacies made by the master.

"Ao." Taotie called out.

It asked Sìxiàng to share some with it.

Sìxiàng paid no attention at all and simply turned its back, leaving Taotie with the back of its head.

Taotie immediately felt as wronged as a billion-ton child.

"Come over here." Chen Xing gently kicked Taotie's butt.

Taotie immediately followed Chen Xing into the kitchen, bouncing along.

Chen Xing opened the large freezer, pulled out several large bags of high-level carnivorous pet food, and heated them in a pot.

"Ao~"

The shrunken Taotie, only two meters long, stood up on its hind legs, pointing to its opened wide mouth with its front paws.

It meant that it didn't mind if it was frozen.

Frozen and crunchy!

Chen Xing laughed, then opened the freezer again and threw it a few more bags of high-level carnivorous pet food.

Taotie closed its eyes contentedly, slowly chewing.

Then it lay down by Chen Xing's feet, enjoying the atmosphere at the moment.

Just like when it first met its master.

Back then, it was alone. Every day after eating, it could snuggle up to its master.

Seemingly understanding Taotie's thoughts, Chen Xing smiled slightly and bent down to pick it up.

Taotie's large head nestled by Chen Xing's ear, rubbing against Chen Xing's body.

Crocodilian creatures do not have the organ known as ears on their body surface, but they have body tissues similar to cochleae on both sides of their heads.

Many people say that crocodilian creatures are emotionally detached, but in reality, they have a smaller cranial capacity and can remember only a few things.

However, as long as they etch some feelings in their heart, they will never forget them for the rest of their lives.

Boom~

A muffled sound suddenly came from outside the yard.

Immediately followed by the sound of the small gate's doorbell being pressed.

The eyes of Taotie, which had been closed, snapped open, looking in the direction of the sound with some dissatisfaction.

Chen Xing walked out of the yard. Outside, several people stood.

The person at the front was someone Chen Xing was familiar with, Zhao Guangming.

There was a radiant smile on Zhao Guangming's face, evidently in a good mood from a recent promotion.

Behind Zhao Guangming was a dragon-type Beast Taming creature, its round, bulky body somewhat clumsy. It had created a large pit in the ground, currently shifting its body awkwardly.

"Instructor, you're paying for the road repairs yourself," Chen Xing said helplessly.

"Haha, I'll pay it myself," Zhao Guangming said laughingly.

Behind Zhao Guangming stood several individuals around his age, their eyes filled with curiosity and scrutiny.

"What brings you here, Instructor?"

Zhao Guangming said, "I'm here on someone's behalf."

Then he introduced Chen Xing to the people behind him, "You're supposed to carry out a mission, right? You're the overall person in charge of Firelight this time, but you can't possibly handle everything yourself. You need some help."

As he spoke, Zhao Guangming pointed to the people behind him, "See, I've brought some of the finest talents within our Firelight for you to choose from."

"Brother Zhao, he's the overall person in charge for Firelight this time? He seems even younger than us. Is he reliable?" someone behind suddenly spoke up.

Zhao Guangming's face changed, and he swiftly turned to look at the speaker, the amiable expression on his face vanishing, "Which family are you from? Never mind, it's not important. You're dismissed from this mission."

"I— " The person's face changed, wanting to speak further, but Zhao Guangming cut him off, "I don't want to hear your explanation. Leave immediately. I don't care what your intention was behind those words, or who instructed you. We at Firelight have no need for such fools who don't understand hierarchy."
