Chapter 229 The Seventh Group Member
Just as Meng Qingyin began to doubt the title of beast tamer, a commotion broke out in the crowd ahead.
An uncle holding a tabby cat squeezed out of the crowd with a disappointed look on his face, muttering, "What kind of animal tamer is he? He doesn't even know how to raise a cat to be a tiger. What kind of animal tamer is he? Is he a fraud?"
Meng Qingyin: "..."
If he really had a way to raise a cat into a tiger, then you should suspect he's a fraud.
The old man got anxious upon hearing this and grabbed the uncle, saying, "Master, can you turn my rooster into a phoenix?"
The middle-aged man glanced at the rooster in his arms and scoffed, "Grandpa, how can a pheasant turn into a phoenix? What are you dreaming about in broad daylight?"
The old man retorted angrily, "Aren't you also dreaming of raising a stray cat into a tiger? I think you're the one who's daydreaming!"
The middle-aged man's face turned red and then pale. "I won't argue with you."
After saying that, he pushed his way to the outer edge of the crowd.
The old man snorted coldly, "You think you can raise that lousy cat into a tiger? You're just a toad trying to eat swan meat, dreaming big!"
Meng Qingyin glanced at the rooster in his arms, but ultimately didn't say the words, "You two are equally bad."
However, people kept pushing their way out, all looking disappointed. The old man grabbed a woman who was also holding a chicken and asked her what was going on ahead.
The older woman sighed, "Alas, my wish for my hen to lay golden eggs has been shattered. The animal trainer said that poultry is poultry, it's impossible for it to lay golden eggs..."
The old man breathed a sigh of relief, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, "Luckily, I didn't want the rooster to lay golden eggs."
The older sister added, "It's impossible to turn a pheasant into a phoenix or a stray cat into a tiger. He told us to go home, wash up, and go to sleep, and have sweet dreams."
The old man's smile froze.
A moment later, the old man hugged the rooster and left without looking back.
Meng Qingyin, however, felt reassured.
It seems the animal trainer is reliable after all.
She posted her location in the group chat, letting everyone know that she had found an animal trainer.
A dozen minutes later, the people in front of them left, some disappointed, some frustrated, and some angry, carrying their chickens, ducks, and geese.
Meng Qingyin naturally arrived at the front of the crowd.
She finally met the animal trainer, Mon.
However, standing here are a middle-aged man with a cold face and a pretty young girl. Which one is the animal tamer?
The middle-aged man had a sour and cold expression, and his tone was extremely harsh when speaking to the villagers who kept coming up to ask him for advice.
"You want eggs to hatch into donkeys so they can help plow your fields? I think you've been kicked in the head by a donkey!"
"How about turning your goose into a swan? Don't I look like a swan?"
"You want your big yellow dog to turn into a wolf and herd sheep? Did the sheep dig up your ancestral graves?"
The villagers returned home empty-handed one by one.
The man's face was as black as the bottom of a pot: "I'll say it again, I'm an animal trainer. I can only train animals, I can't do magic!"
Many more people left disappointed.
The girl seemed oblivious, her gaze searching through the crowd as if looking for someone.
Upon seeing Meng Qingyin, her eyes lit up. She ran over to Meng Qingyin and excitedly turned to the man, saying, "Dad, I found her!"
Meng Qingyin looked at the girl in surprise: "Do we know each other?"
The girl in front of me had bright eyes and white teeth; when she smiled, her little tiger teeth were revealed, making her very cute.
But I don't know her.
Over there, the middle-aged man strode over, glanced at Meng Qingyin with a rather indifferent expression, and then asked the girl, "Are you sure it's her?"
The girl nodded firmly: "Yes, it's her! I can't be wrong."
Meng Qingyin looked at the girl, completely bewildered: "Wait a minute, we don't think we've met before, have we?"
The girl smiled sweetly: "Sister, you saved me at the big market last time. Don't you remember? There was a ferocious beast with blue fur with you then. Why isn't it with you today?"
“Yes, it’s at home,” Meng Qingyin said.
The girl had seen her and Zai Zai before, but she had no recollection of her at all.
The girl also said that she saved her.
Meng Qingyin tried hard to recall if she had saved anyone at the last market.
The girl smiled and reminded him, "I'm that little beggar who was bullied!"
Meng Qingyin found it hard to connect the girl in front of her with the little beggar she had met before.
Moreover, since the girl has family, how could she have ended up as a beggar?
“Sister, my name is Miaomiao,” Miaomiao said, taking Meng Qingyin’s arm. “Thank you for what happened last time. I knew I would find you.”
Meng Qingyin: "It was nothing at all—what do you want from me?"
"Of course it's to repay a debt of gratitude!" Miao Miao said happily. "I can't be an ungrateful person."
With a cold face, Moner said, "I am extremely grateful for your saving my daughter. You can ask me for anything you need."
He expressed his gratitude verbally, but his expression was cold, as if someone owed him money and hadn't paid it back.
Miaomiao explained in a low voice, "Sister, that's just how my dad is. He always speaks coldly, but he's not a bad person."
If Meng Qingyin hadn't just heard Meng Er's sarcastic remarks about the villagers, she would almost have believed him.
She forced a smile: "Can you fulfill any of my requests?"
Monel's face darkened: "If you're also planning to make a request like asking a hen to lay golden eggs..."
Meng Qingyin quickly assured her, "I don't know how to do that."
"Tell me, I'll do my best to fulfill your request, as long as it's within my power."
As they were talking, Chen Leying and the other two hurriedly arrived.
Meng Qingyin was delighted; their arrival was just in time.
“My friends have some questions about animal taming that they would like to ask you. You can help them answer their questions,” Meng Qingyin said.
Monton paused, then said coldly, "Are you sure it's just such a simple request?"
Meng Qingyin's smile deepened: "Yes, it's that simple a request. But my friends aren't very bright, so they might have a lot of questions. Since you've agreed, you have to keep your word."
Although the three "not-so-bright" individuals had no idea what had happened, the animal trainer seemed to be in a bad mood.
But they knew that all they needed to do at this moment was remain silent.
Therefore, none of the three not-so-bright individuals spoke, quietly watching Meng Qingyin perform.
Without a second thought, Monel agreed: "Okay, I promise you, no matter how many questions they have, I will answer them patiently. However, from now on, I will owe you nothing."
Meng Qingyin: "Then how can I contact you normally?"
Moner coldly retorted, "Why contact me? After today, I don't think we'll ever cross paths again."
Meng Qingyin said sincerely, "My friends aren't very bright, and they always encounter new problems. If we add each other as friends, they can ask us questions anytime."
Moner: "..."
Miao Miao replied matter-of-factly, "Sister is right. Dad, since you promised, you should help me to the end."
Moner stared at her coldly, as if he was about to hit her at any moment.
But he simply nodded slightly: "Okay."
Thus, the group of six was delighted to gain its seventh member, the NPC beast tamer Monel.
