Chapter 1118: Fantasy Beast, Sharala (two in one)

Mi Jiala turned her head and looked at him: “You want me to go with you?”

Li Ya Weng looked a bit awkward and said, “There’s some unpleasantness between us, but that’s a separate matter. I believe you wouldn’t want to miss an opportunity like this.”

The further a Yu Beast Master progresses, the more they need opportunities, both for the Yu Beast Master themselves and their Pet. Li Ya Weng was certain that Mi Jiala wouldn’t miss this chance.

As expected, Mi Jiala asked, “Besides the gathering of rare Pets, do you have any other news?”

Li Ya Weng knew he had her, his spirits lifted, and he lowered his voice, saying, “Among these rare Pets, one is said to be Colored Flower Bud Shalala.”

Colored Flower Bud Shalala, an Illusion Beast from Yan Tian Star, is rumored to have the ability to extend one’s lifespan. There are also legends that it is a mythical Pet that, upon reaching the God-level, can transform all barren lands into lush greenery, deserts into oases, and bring about miracles in the ecosystem.

Yan Tian Star, once barren due to scorching sunlight, was revived by Colored Flower Bud Shalala, which made all the green foliage grow again.

Therefore, among all the Illusion Beasts and mythical Pets on Yan Tian Star, Colored Flower Bud Shalala holds a unique place in everyone’s hearts.

It might not be the strongest in combat among all Illusion Beasts and mythical Pets, but it is definitely the most beloved by the people of Yan Tian Star.

On the starship to Yan Tian Star, Qiao Sang had read books about Yan Tian Star’s Illusion Beasts. The first page she opened was about Colored Flower Bud Shalala, which showed how much the editor of the book valued Colored Flower Bud Shalala.

There’s actually a Colored Flower Bud Shalala… Qiao Sang’s mind flashed with information about Colored Flower Bud Shalala. Her heart stirred, but she maintained her calm expression.

After all, she had personally seen Illusion Beasts twice before, and had even lived with one of them for a period of time.

Mi Jiala, however, showed a variety of expressions: shock, astonishment, ecstasy…

Colored Flower Bud Shalala! There’s actually a Colored Flower Bud Shalala!

“So, what do you say, want to go together?” Li Ya Weng asked.

This time, he asked with much more composure.

Mi Jiala’s expression changed several times before she finally managed her emotions, returned to calm, and asked, “How do we divide what we find?”

Li Ya Weng was already prepared and said, “A three-seven split, since I provided the information.”

Mi Jiala took a sip of milk and calmly said, “Alright, you three, I seven.”

Li Ya Weng immediately showed an angry expression, slamming his hand on the table and standing up: “Mi Jiala, don’t go too far!”

Everyone around the restaurant turned to look.

Mi Jiala calmly drank her milk.

“Mog Mog!”

Dragon King showed an unhappy expression and called out, indicating: ‘Watch your attitude, my Yu Beast Master is the one you’re asking for help from right now.’

Li Ya Weng glanced at Dragon King and the silent Mi Jiala, then snorted coldly and said, “It seems we have nothing to talk about, Ossean, let’s go!”

Having said that, he turned and left.

His entire back was filled with anger.

Ossean stood up and said, “Teacher, junior, then we’ll be leaving first.”

With that, she followed Li Ya Weng’s footsteps.

They’re just leaving? Qiao Sang was a bit surprised.

Cooperation shouldn’t be like a business negotiation, with only one round of bargaining before settling on a mutually acceptable distribution.

Shouldn’t this just be the first round?

Qiao Sang collected her thoughts and asked, “Teacher, are you really not going?”

Mi Jiala smiled and said, “Don’t worry, he’ll be back.”

No sooner had she spoken than Li Ya Weng returned with Ossean, his face grim. He pulled out a chair, sat down, and glared at Mi Jiala, gnashing his teeth, “A four-six split, I six, you four.”

Mi Jiala smiled slightly: “Li Ya Weng, that’s not how you ask for a favor.”

Li Ya Weng’s face instantly became even uglier.

It seems Teacher Mi Jiala and this teacher don’t have a very good relationship… Qiao Sang watched from the side with great interest.

At this moment, Ossean leaned over and said, “Junior, let’s go out first. Let’s not disturb the two teachers’ conversation.”

Ah, this, I haven’t heard enough… Qiao Sang felt a bit reluctant inside, but on the surface, she obediently said “Okay,” picked up Ya, and followed behind Ossean.

Lu, Steel Treasure, Xiaoting Dragon, and Mo Li Dragon followed suit.

Xiao Xunbao and Qing looked at each other. One went invisible, one used Wind Transformation, and they stayed put, tacitly not leaving.

On the terrace outside the restaurant, Qiao Sang pretended to look at the lush green scenery, but in reality, she pricked up her ears to listen to the conversation inside.

“If it weren’t for me, would you know about this news?”

“You don’t have to cooperate with me.”

“If you didn’t have a Pen Jiami, do you think I’d come to you?”

“I said, you don’t have to cooperate with me.”

“Mi Jiala, don’t go too far!”

“I’m going too far? Do you need me to remind you of what happened before?”

“Mog Mog! Mog Mog!”

Just as Qiao Sang was about to continue listening, Ossean on the side said, “It’s said that Teacher Li Ya Weng and Teacher Mi Jiala both competed for a spot in the Interstellar Cup before. Teacher Li Ya Weng wasn’t chosen, but Teacher Mi Jiala was, which is why their relationship has always been bad.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang’s mind echoed with only one thought:

What? Teacher Mi Jiala also participated in the Interstellar Cup?!

In her shock, Qiao Sang inadvertently spoke her thoughts aloud.

Ossean was surprised and said, “You didn’t know about this?”

Qiao Sang honestly replied, “Teacher Mi Jiala never mentioned it.”

She then thought of something and said, “Isn’t participating in the Interstellar Cup based on strength? The stronger one should go.”

“The problem is that Teacher Li Ya Weng believed his strength was no worse than Teacher Mi Jiala’s, but he didn’t get a spot in the Interstellar Cup at that time,” Ossean said.

Qiao Sang waved her hand and said, “That’s simple. Just let them battle once.”

“Ya Ya.”

Ya nodded, indicating that her Yu Beast Master was right.

Ossean said, “They used to be rivals, and they both had wins and losses, so they were evenly matched. However, when they participated in the Global World Alliance Yu Beast Competition, Teacher Li Ya Weng was assigned a strong opponent and lost the match, so he didn’t get a spot in the Interstellar Cup.”

She paused, then added, “Teacher Mi Jiala also lost to that person, but by then it was already late in the competition, and Teacher Mi Jiala had entered the top six, thus securing a spot.”

This is fate… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly.

Ossean continued, “Later, Teacher Mi Jiala participated in the Interstellar Cup…”

As she spoke, she inexplicably felt a strong Pressure descend, and her voice abruptly stopped.

She then sensed something and looked towards the direction of the restaurant.

Two seconds later, Mi Jiala, Pen Jiami, and Dragon King appeared at the doorway.

“Let’s go, we’ve finished talking,” Mi Jiala said to Qiao Sang.

At the same time, the Pressure on Ossean disappeared.

“Senior, then I’ll be leaving first,” Qiao Sang said her goodbyes and followed Teacher Mi Jiala out of the restaurant.

After the two figures disappeared, Li Ya Weng came over to Ossean and asked, “How was your chat?”

“We didn’t talk about anything yet,” Ossean replied, then asked, “How about you, how was your talk with Teacher Mi Jiala?”

Li Ya Weng’s expression was not good: “We finished talking.”

…

“We’ve finished talking,” Mi Jiala said. “These two days, I’ll go out with him to search for the places where these rare Pets gather. If we find them and confirm there’s no danger, I’ll have Pen Jiami bring you over.”

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: “I don’t need to go search with you?”

“No need,” Mi Jiala said while drinking the beverage she brought from the restaurant. “You just finished a competition, and now is your rest time. Besides, we don’t even know the exact location yet. Pen Jiami’s mental power can cover the entire Qingguang Island. If those rare Pets are really here, we’ll find them quickly. If they’re not, there’s no need for you to come out and waste time with me.”

Qiao Sang said “Oh,” then thought of something and asked, “Teacher, did you participate in the Interstellar Cup before?”

Mi Jiala’s thoughts drifted, as if she was lost in memories: “That was a very long time ago…”

She paused, her expression returning to normal, and asked, “Did Ossean tell you?”

Qiao Sang hummed: “She also said that Teacher Li Ya Weng competed with you for a spot in the Interstellar Cup, but he wasn’t chosen, and you were.”

After speaking, she timely offered a compliment: “Teacher, you’re truly amazing.”

Amazing at what, she was just a first-round exit… Dragon King resisted the urge to complain aloud.

Mi Jiala smiled and changed the subject: “Didn’t you say you were going to the beach? Let’s go.”

…

On the beach.

The sun was scorching.

Looking around, almost all the Pets were fire-type and Ground-type, which are resistant to high temperatures.

Qiao Sang didn’t feel particularly hot walking on the beach, but her feet felt a little hot even with shoes on.

“Ya Ya!”

Ya saw the beach and the fire-type Pets she had never seen before, showing an excited expression and wagging her tail a few times.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao stuck out her tongue and quietly moved closer to Lu.

“Qing Qing…”

Qing pressed her entire body directly against Lu.

“Ting Ting…”

Xiaoting Dragon tried hard to wrap around Lu, not letting herself be squeezed out.

Lu stood expressionless, as if three parts were hanging on her.

Steel Treasure glanced in Lu’s direction and couldn’t help but laugh, but quickly, she composed her expression.

“Mog Mog…”

Mo Li Dragon wiped her sweat and couldn’t help but glance at Dragon King.

Dragon King responded with a look: ‘Don’t look at me, if you’re so capable, you go cozy up to that guy named Lu too.’

Mo Li Dragon looked at Lu, felt they weren’t familiar, and ultimately endured, not going over.

However, at this moment, Lu noticed them, and a visible cold aura emanated from her, spreading outwards, precisely covering the area where Mo Li Dragon was.

This cold air was just right, not bone-chilling, but it made the surrounding temperature drop significantly, as if going from scorching heat to the coolness of autumn.

“Mog Mog…”

Mo Li Dragon showed a comfortable expression.

Mi Jiala saw this scene and smiled, “It looks like Ice Emperor Ram won’t be going into the sea.”

Qiao Sang’s eyes were full of smiles as she said, “I think Lu might prefer to stay with everyone rather than go into the sea.”

Although Lu usually didn’t talk much, she knew that it always paid attention to everyone and silently listened to them talk. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be the first to notice if Ya and the others were injured during training and then immediately release Healing Light.

Qiao Sang lay on the beach.

Ya imitated her Yu Beast Master and lay down beside her.

Qiao Sang smiled at the sight, then thought of something and looked at Steel Treasure nearby.

Steel Treasure was silent for two seconds, then chose to lie down.

That’s right… Qiao Sang raised her hand and beckoned a few Sticky Crabs over to massage her back, Teacher Mi Jiala’s, and Ya’s.

“Sticky Crab!”

“Sticky Crab!”

The Sticky Crabs’ technique was excellent, and their enthusiasm was quite high. Their crab claws precisely pressed on the acupuncture points on the back every time.

“Ya Ya…”

“Steel Chief…”

“Mog Mog…”

Ya, Steel Treasure, and Dragon King enjoyed themselves, showing comfortable expressions.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao’s eyes lit up at the sight. She floated over, imitated her Yu Beast Master, Ya, and Steel Treasure by lying down, and prepared to wave for a Sticky Crab to come over.

“Xun!”

The next second, Xiao Xunbao, as if on fire, floated up into the air with a whoosh, letting out a shriek.

“Qing Qing!”

“Qing Qing!”

Qing saw Xiao Xunbao’s appearance, hugged Lu, and burst out laughing.

Lu turned her head, her eyes showing amusement.

“Ting Ting!”

Xiaoting Dragon, infected by Qing’s laughter, also let out a laugh.

The clear blue sky, the golden sun, the gentle breeze, and the laughter of Qing and the others… Qiao Sang felt the professional massage on her back, closed her eyes, and felt her heart calm down.

At the same time, an invisible area in her brain subtly stirred.

…

Time passed quietly, neither fast nor slow.

Under the midday sun, Xiao Xunbao took two eggs and tapped them on a recently wiped outdoor surface. The egg white and yolk flowed onto the ground, and with a sizzle, they immediately turned into fried eggs.

“Qing Qing,” Qing called from the side, holding an empty plate and chopsticks.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao called out, then her eyes glowed blue, and one of the cooked fried eggs was controlled and placed onto Qing’s plate.

“Qing Qing.”

Qing took a bite, showing an expression of “not bad.”

Qiao Sang was on the phone indoors:

“Did you find it?”

Mi Jiala’s voice came from the speaker: “No, but there’s a very strange spot now. Pen Jiami’s mental power can’t penetrate it, so I’m going to go check it out personally with Li Ya Weng.”

“Where is it?” Qiao Sang asked.

“It’s in a sea area surrounded by white fog on the south side of Qingguang Island,” Mi Jiala said.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang suddenly remembered what the mysterious old man had said not long ago and couldn’t help but ask, “What about the north side of Qingguang Island? I heard there’s a place called Wolin there that’s also surrounded by white fog all year round.”

“We’ve already investigated that area,” Mi Jiala said. “There’s nothing special inside.”

There’s nothing there… Qiao Sang didn’t doubt it.

After all, Teacher Mi Jiala and the teacher named Li Ya Weng were both S-Class Beast Masters, so they couldn’t make a mistake in such a simple investigation.

She then remembered that only one day was left until the time the mysterious old man mentioned, and she said, “Teacher, I’m planning to go to Wolin in a bit.”

Mi Jiala cautioned, “That place is very easy to get lost in. If you can’t find your way, just fly high into the sky or have Night Ring King use Space Movement to bring you out.”

“I understand,” Qiao Sang said.

After chatting with Teacher Mi Jiala for a few more sentences, she hung up the phone.

Qingguang Island is neither big nor small. In these few days, she had almost explored the entire island. According to Pen Jiami’s mental power, it should be able to directly cover the entire island and find places where rare Pets gather in a matter of minutes. The fact that they hadn’t found it for so long, and the teacher was still searching, showed that she still trusted the teacher named Li Ya Weng very much. If it were her, she would definitely doubt the accuracy of the information… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly, put away her phone, stood up, and said, “Get ready, we’re going out.” (End of Chapter)
