The Girl Who Reincarnated as a Vampire Heiress

Chapter 267

"Alright, thank you for the compliment."

Daniel was taken aback: "No, did you really think I was complimenting you?"

He lamented in anguish: "Stealing someone's love, you're not a decent person."

Chloe laughed and extended her hand towards the brown bear. The bear immediately trotted over wagging its tail to shake paws with her, behaving unbelievably well.

She raised an eyebrow and said: "It came to me on its own, I had nothing to do with it."

By this point, the Beast Tamer's face had turned ashen with anger.

He glared fiercely at Chloe: "You... you didn't do anything at all!"

"That's right, I really didn't do anything," Chloe spread her hands, speaking with an innocent expression. "But they just seem to like me a lot, don't they?"

Upon hearing this, the Beast Tamer became even more enraged.

He once again used his key to open the iron cage beside him, releasing a white ape that stood as tall as three men.

It appeared to have been trained by the Beast Tamer over many years and was particularly close to him.

But the problem was that Chloe herself was like a glitch in the system.

Even Fantasy Species and tentacled monsters followed her around all day, though it wasn't clear what they were after.

As soon as this white ape was released, before the Beast Tamer could say anything to it, it caught sight of Chloe and ran over to her at lightning speed!

What followed was a parade of eagles, lions, bald eagles, leopards, and various chimeric beasts cobbled together from different predators.

As soon as they saw Chloe, they were like dogs that had spotted a juicy bone, scrambling to climb all over her with unbridled enthusiasm.

Qin Huaibei watched this scene and couldn't help but quip:

"Are you some kind of animal heartbreaker?"

Chloe bent down to pick up the bald eagle, saying: "It's all about skill. A loser like you wouldn't understand."

Qin Huaibei was momentarily lost for words, and in the end could only muster a dry laugh and concede, "I guess you've got skills."

The Beast Tamer ended up leaving in tears.

But before he could exit, his path was blocked.

Chloe looked at him with a sincere smile:

"Great Beast Tamer, isn't it a bit rude to leave so soon?"

The Beast Tamer looked at her with hatred, his voice cracking: "Are you trying to humiliate me further?!"

"Not at all," Chloe said slowly. "I seem to recall that before I arrived, you did something not very nice to my little Wang, didn't you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the Beast Tamer was dumbfounded: "What?"

Wang, on the other hand, reacted quickly, immediately understanding what Chloe was referring to. He promptly approached the Beast Tamer with a series of threatening roars.

The Beast Tamer involuntarily took half a step back, then seemed to realize something and said: "Are you talking about when I whipped it?"

Seeing that they didn't respond, the Beast Tamer knew he had likely guessed correctly and immediately said: "What do you know? This tiger was stubborn and unruly. You have to use harsh methods to make it submit, otherwise how do you think it would ever obey?"

The Beast Tamer's face was full of pride and confidence: "If they don't listen, you beat them. If that doesn't work, you starve them. Keep this up day after day, and eventually they'll give in and submit."

"That's how beast taming works. You give them a beating, then offer a treat. Who do you think you are with your mysterious natural talents?"

As he said this, the Beast Tamer raised his sleeve to wipe away his tears.

Chloe understood the logic, but she wasn't someone who cared much for grand principles. On the contrary, she was extremely protective of those close to her.

Now that Wang had been classified as one of Chloe's people, she was determined to get revenge for him.

Regardless of whether this was the standard procedure for professional beast tamers, Chloe was clear on one point.

That was that this mighty king of the jungle had previously been abused by this foolish Beast Tamer, with whip marks and wounds on its body that went down to the bone.

Chloe looked around and took a whip off the wall that had been used for taming: "How about this? I won't make things too difficult for you. As long as you obediently lie down and let me give you twenty lashes, I'll let you go. How does that sound?"

The Beast Tamer's face turned pale: "Nonsense!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Huaibei and Daniel came up from behind and restrained him on either side.

They moved so quickly that the Beast Tamer didn't even see how they did it. Before he could react, he was already lying on the ground.

The Beast Tamer struggled and shouted, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was gagged.

In his final terrified gaze, all he saw was Chloe methodically raising the whip.

Then came a burst of intense pain!

The Beast Tamer grimaced in agony. Chloe had said twenty lashes, and she delivered exactly twenty lashes, without holding back at all.

She controlled her strength well, not using excessive force, but precisely maintaining a level that the Beast Tamer could endure while approaching his limit.

The Beast Tamer was beaten so severely that by the end he couldn't even speak, and directly passed out from the pain.

Seeing this, Wang was clearly overjoyed.

He slowly paced over, elegantly extending a paw to push the Beast Tamer to the ground, his eyes full of contempt.

Wang circled around the Beast Tamer, eagerly observing his now miserable state. The growls coming from his throat sounded exceptionally pleased.

It wasn't just Wang; the other fierce beasts that the Beast Tamer had released earlier to challenge Chloe also spontaneously followed, curiously sniffing the Beast Tamer's current condition.

Seeing him lying on the ground like a dead fish, they all hesitated for a moment.

Before, they had only ever been on the receiving end of the Beast Tamer's beatings. When had they ever seen the Beast Tamer beaten like this?

In an instant, the fierce beasts' gazes towards Chloe took on a hint of reverence.

Chloe folded up the whip and hung it back on the wall, but there wasn't much joy on her face.

Anderson keenly noticed her mood and asked:

"Little Miss, are you not happy?"

Chloe glanced at him: "I'm thinking about something."

Hearing this, Anderson said in a low voice: "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Chloe: "...I don't think so. I need some time alone."

With that, she put all the fierce beasts except Wang back in their cages and took Wang outside the shed to clear her mind.

She had something weighing on her mind.

Although she had long known that she was very popular with animals and strange species, a trait that seemed very advantageous, the unknown reason behind it inevitably caused some anxiety.

Not to mention the words of the man in the black robe earlier, combined with what had happened today...

Could someone really be born with such an affinity for fierce beasts? Especially when these beasts had been previously tamed by another Beast Tamer.

The only possibility was that the gene modification drug injected into her body by the Viper Group when they abducted her over a decade ago.

Due to her pure-blooded vampire heritage, the drug's side effects manifested quite subtly in Chloe, to the extent that they were not completely unbearable.

However, for other gene modification subjects, the side effects were irreversible and extremely severe.

So was Chloe's situation truly just because she was a pure-blooded vampire?

Or could it be that the gene modification drug injected into her by the Viper Group had a fundamentally different effect from the drugs typically given to humanoid combat machines?
