Chapter 1094: Qingbao’s game (two in one)

Qiao Sang returned to her room, where a gentle breeze blew, lifting a corner of the curtain.

Suddenly, a Typhoon swept through, making the curtains sway wildly.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao teleported next to her Yu Beast Master, letting out a loud cry.

Qiao Sang said helplessly:

“Qingbao.”

“Qingqing.”

The Typhoon disappeared, and Qingbao appeared, crying out with a face full of grievances.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao quickly shook its head, crying out to indicate that it hadn’t said anything, only that Qingbao needed to practice more, otherwise the opponents were getting stronger and stronger, and it would be easy to be eliminated; it almost lost today!

“Qingqing…”

Qingbao couldn’t control its facial expression, and its face turned dark again.

At the same time, a Typhoon swept through the room, making the windows rattle loudly.

The Xiaoting Dragon, which was sound asleep on the bed, was suddenly swept up by the wind.

Qiao Sang, with quick eyes and hands, reached out and scooped it into her arms, calling out with a slightly stern tone:

“Qingbao.”

“Qingqing…”

The wind stopped, and Qingbao showed a wronged expression.

Qiao Sang put the still-sleeping Xiaoting Dragon back on the bed and said earnestly:

“In the later stages of the competition, the opponents remaining on the field are naturally getting stronger and stronger. All Yu Beast Masters and Pets basically grow through battles. They will review the matches after the competition and train their weaknesses. Xiao Xunbao is actually right; Ya Bao and the others all grew up this way.”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao, backed by her Yu Beast Master, straightened its back a little and nodded repeatedly.

Exactly!

Qingbao glared at Xiao Xunbao.

It naturally knew that its Yu Beast Master’s words made sense, but coming from Xiao Xunbao’s mouth, it felt like it was mocking it for being too weak, which made it very unhappy.

“I watched the competition you participated in today as soon as I got back.” Qiao Sang smiled as she said this: “You performed very well. The opponent was an experienced Yu Beast Master, so it’s normal for the battle to be a bit difficult. But you don’t have to worry too much; Xiaoting Dragon’s competition is now over, so I can accompany you to your competition tomorrow.”

As she spoke, she stroked Qingbao’s head.

“Qingqing!”

Although it had known about this for a long time, Qingbao still showed a happy expression upon hearing its Yu Beast Master say it.

It had watched too many of its Yu Beast Master’s competitions and knew that with her there, its win rate would greatly increase.

Moreover, it liked the feeling of fighting alongside its Yu Beast Master.

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao’s fighting spirit surged, and it cried out, indicating that it was going to train.

After speaking, it glared at Xiao Xunbao and disappeared with Wind Transformation.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao breathed a sigh of relief.

Qingbao’s temper was getting worse and worse…

It was only kindly reminding it, but it actually got angry. Fortunately, its Yu Beast Master was there.

Qiao Sang comforted it: “Qingbao just has memory inheritance, so its personality will change a bit from before. Once it has received all the inherited memories and stabilized, its temper should also improve again.”

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Xiao Xunbao cried out curiously.

Does memory inheritance happen during evolution?

“Yes,” Qiao Sang nodded.

“Xiao Xunbao?!”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xunbao’s face changed dramatically, and it cried out with a look of horror.

Doesn’t that mean that every time Qingbao evolves to the next level, its temper will get worse and worse?!

It seemed, well, it wasn’t impossible… Qiao Sang was silent for two seconds, then comforted it: “No, memory inheritance will only affect Qingbao’s personality to a certain extent. Its inherent personality won’t completely change. Don’t forget how well-behaved Qingbao was when we first met it.”

Her tone held a hint of uncertainty.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao’s expression showed a trace of daze, and it fell into recollection.

To be honest, Qingbao’s temper had been so bad lately that it almost forgot what Qingbao was like before…

Just as Xiao Xunbao was reminiscing, Qiao Sang said:

“You go train too. Your training time has been a bit short lately.”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao collected its thoughts, showing the weary expression unique to office workers, and floated into the black hole that appeared out of nowhere, disappearing.

The room returned to quiet.

Qiao Sang glanced at Xiaoting Dragon, then sat cross-legged on the bed and began Meditation.

…

The sun set in the west.

It was time for dinner.

At the dining table, Mi Jiala helped hand the Xiaoting Dragon’s Energy Pill to it.

The Xiaoting Dragon glanced at it, then turned its head away.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang skillfully moved the plate with the Energy Pill towards the direction it had turned its head.

Seeing that it was its Yu Beast Master who moved it, the Xiaoting Dragon lowered its head and began to eat.

Mi Jiala: “…”

She came and sat down at the dining table, glanced at her silent phone, picked up her chopsticks, and asked casually:

“If you had a falling out with your Pet, what would you do?”

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: “Is Dragon King still angry?”

“No,” Mi Jiala said without batting an eye, “I’m asking you.”

“Just coax them,” Qiao Sang said while picking up food, “Ya Bao and the others all have pretty good tempers, they basically don’t have tantrums. If there’s really something, as long as I explain it logically, they all listen.”

I shouldn’t have asked you… Mi Jiala shoveled rice expressionlessly.

Qiao Sang asked:

“Teacher, didn’t you say that Dragon King would look for you when it needed money? Has it not looked for you yet?”

Mi Jiala: “…”

“When will the championship prize for this Contracted Tacit Understanding Competition be received?” Mi Jiala stiffly changed the subject.

It seems Dragon King still hasn’t spoken to Teacher… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly and replied:

“They said to keep the invoices for Xiaoting Dragon’s expenses every month. After verifying that the money was spent on training Xiaoting Dragon, they will reimburse it. They verify once a month.”

To be honest, she found it quite troublesome.

Mi Jiala listened, then calmly said: “Wait, I’ll prepare a list of materials Xiaoting Dragon needs. You go buy them, try to get High Level ones.”

She wasn’t a Trainer, but she also had a Dragon-type Pet Beast that she had trained since it was young. She knew a bit about the resources needed for Beginner Dragon-type Pet Beasts.

The Xiaoting Dragon, which was eating its Energy Pill, looked up and glanced at Mi Jiala with some surprise.

“Understood,” Qiao Sang nodded.

She had been preparing for the competition, training, and Meditation during this time. She hadn’t yet bought the electric-related food that Teacher Ya Ke Lin mentioned last time, so she would buy it all together this time.

After dinner and tidying the table, Qiao Sang took out her phone, located a nearby Pet material specialty store, and handed it to Xiao Xunbao.

Then, she noticed that Xiaoting Dragon had been staring at her, and couldn’t help but ask:

“Aren’t you going to train?”

“Ting Ting?”

The Xiaoting Dragon cried out.

Qiao Sang felt that she already understood its meaning, and without waiting for a translation, she said directly: “I’ll start Meditation after I buy back the things you need.”

The Xiaoting Dragon blinked, not understanding why its Yu Beast Master suddenly said that.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

At this moment, Xiao Xunbao put down its phone and helped translate.

The old six said it had already finished its competition, so why did it still need to train?

Ah? You meant that… Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, then said: “To become stronger, it’s not just during the competition; you also have to train normally.”

No wonder after the competition ended today, Xiaoting Dragon came back and went to sleep. She thought it was too tired from the competition, but she didn’t expect that it thought it didn’t need to train anymore after the competition.

She suddenly realized that Xiaoting Dragon probably wasn’t like Ya Bao, Lu Bao, and Steel Treasure, who would proactively train and were diligent and eager to improve…

“Ting Ting.”

The Xiaoting Dragon nodded and turned to crawl towards the outdoor training ground.

Although it wasn’t a diligent and eager-to-improve type, it was good that it could listen to reason… Qiao Sang inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief and turned to say:

“Let’s go.”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao nodded, then its eyes glowed blue, and it took its Yu Beast Master away from the spot.

…

The next day, early morning.

Qiao Sang got up, meditated for an hour, then simply washed up and ate breakfast.

After confirming everything was packed, Mi Jiala nodded to Pen Jiami.

Pen Jiami’s eyes glowed blue, and she directly took Qiao Sang and Ya Bao, as well as Mi Jiala, and disappeared from the spot.

Hasman, Quanman Stadium.

At this time, people were bustling like weaving, with many people and Pets outside the stadium. Pedestrians and Pets moved through the public activity areas; some entered nearby restaurants, some bought food and cheering items at stalls, some checked in and took photos, and some queued to check tickets at the entrance.

Qiao Sang looked around, then led Ya Bao and the others towards the exclusive passage for contestants.

Suddenly, someone shouted:

“It’s Qingyin Fairy!”

As soon as these words came out, Qiao Sang immediately felt all the surrounding gazes gather on her.

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao smiled sweetly at the passerby who had just called out.

“Ah! So cute!” The passerby immediately shrieked with excitement.

There was a commotion around.

“It really is Qingyin Fairy! It’s so cute up close!”

“Is that its Yu Beast Master next to it?”

“I heard Qingyin Fairy is a Pet from Blue Star. Could its Yu Beast Master also be from Blue Star?”

“It’s great to see Qingyin Fairy. Yesterday, when I saw Qingyin Fairy about to lose, I didn’t dare to keep watching.”

You’ve only participated in a few days of competition, and your popularity is already this high… Qiao Sang glanced at Qingbao, somewhat surprised.

Yan Tian Star is the most peaceful planet coexisting with Pets, with a unique social structure. Coupled with the fact that past Interstellar Cup champions have all come from here, people from the other three planets, if they have the opportunity to travel interstellarly, their first choice is Yan Tian Star.

Here, people from other planets and Pets from other planets are not particularly rare. Therefore, when Xiaoting Dragon participated in the competition and its identity was recognized by everyone, it was only briefly reported and did not attract a particularly large range of attention.

When she first brought Qingbao to Yan Tian Star, she heard others using Pet Identifiers to identify Qingbao and the others.

Some either couldn’t identify it, and those who could only said that Qingbao was a Fairy-type High-level Pet from Blue Star, without mentioning its identity as a legendary Pet.

Qingbao blinked its pure eyes, as if saying: Isn’t it natural for me to be popular?

That’s true, after all, Pets that are this cute are rare… Qiao Sang looked at Qingbao’s soft and adorable appearance, and then felt that, aside from its identity as a legendary Pet, its popularity was very reasonable.

She collected her thoughts and entered the contestant passage under everyone’s gaze.

The Quanman Stadium was huge, and the contestant area had designated spots for Yu Beast Masters and Pets. Several rounds had already eliminated a batch, so there were many empty seats.

After three rounds, the organizers allowed contestants to bring one relative, so Qiao Sang and Mi Jiala sat together.

As soon as she sat down, Qiao Sang smelled a familiar foul odor. She turned her head and, sure enough, saw the long-unseen Mei Chou Ni at the very back.

Mei Chou Ni was currently talking to a Pet next to her, not noticing her.

A wind inexplicably blew, and Qingbao, with a dark face, poked Xiao Xunbao.

Xiao Xunbao understood, took off its ring, and pulled out a tissue from inside.

Qingbao took it, tore the tissue in half, and skillfully stuffed it into its nostrils.

After doing all this, it returned to its usual expression, and the wind around it disappeared at the same time.

“Ya Ya…”

Ya Bao held its breath and cried out.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao pulled out another tissue from its ring.

Ya Bao, mimicking Qingbao, tore the tissue in half and stuffed it into its nostrils.

Lu Bao extended its paw and silently zipped up its backpack.

“Mog Mog!”

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out.

Qiao Sang looked in the direction of the sound and saw the unusually colored Mo Li Dragon that wanted to contract with her, as well as a Mo Ao Dragon.

She smiled and waved, as a greeting.

“Ting Ting…”

The Xiaoting Dragon looked at the Mo Li Dragon, showing an unfriendly expression, and yellow electric arcs appeared on its body.

Qiao Sang took out the electric sweet fruit she bought last night and put it into its mouth.

The Xiaoting Dragon was startled at first, then the electric arcs on its body disappeared, and it wrapped its tail around the electric sweet fruit, beginning to gnaw on it.

“Mog Mog?” The Mo Ao Dragon looked at the human not far away, showing a puzzled expression, and cried out.

“Mog Mog.”

The Mo Li Dragon cried out, indicating that she was the human it wanted to contract with.

After speaking, its expression became emotional.

It hadn’t expected to meet her here, and it wondered if this was fate.

The Mo Ao Dragon frowned. It had been competing outside at the time, so it didn’t know what the human the leader wanted everyone to contract with looked like. When it returned, it received news that Little Mo Dragon and Mo Li Dragon had been rejected by that human.

It had originally planned to bring Mo Li Dragon to watch its competition, hoping it would forget that human sooner, but it unexpectedly ran into her here. How unlucky.

“Mog Mog.”

The Mo Ao Dragon cried out, indicating that it should stop thinking about that human and not forget the purpose of bringing it here.

“Mog Mog…”

The Mo Li Dragon glanced at the Xiaoting Dragon gnawing on the fruit, and cried out dejectedly.

Mi Jiala held her phone, sending a message:

【I saw Mo Li Dragon again. There’s also a Mo Ao Dragon next to it. Is it also from your tribe?】

【What a coincidence, I didn’t expect to meet it in two different competitions.】

【When are you free? We can talk.】

Dragon King gave no response.

Mi Jiala sighed inwardly and put away her phone.

“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Strongest Advanced Pet Contest!” The Host, dressed in a professional skirt suit, sat in the commentary area and announced loudly into the microphone: “Today’s competition will be narrated by the renowned Professional Beast Tamer, Mr. Leonard, and the champion of the 100th Strongest Advanced Pet Contest, Pseudo-Crying Ghost, and me!”
