Chapter 1198: Go to Zhengzhou

Ecstasy, bewilderment, struggle—the Dragon King’s expression shifted several times. After struggling for more than ten seconds, he looked at the Tenth Seat, his face full of reluctance yet his tone firm as he called out: “Mog Mog.”

So he still wouldn’t join the Beast Tamer Alliance.

Mi Jiala glanced at the Dragon King, unsurprised by his answer.

When the Tenth Seat offered the condition of relinquishing his leader responsibilities, she knew the Dragon King wouldn’t agree.

“Steel Chief.”

Steel Treasure translated in her mind.

He actually refused… Qiao Sang’s gaze towards the Dragon King instantly changed to one of admiration.

After spending this time together, she clearly knew how much the Dragon King wanted to be under the Tenth Seat’s command. His friendly attitude towards her during this period was largely due to her having the Tenth Seat’s contact information and promise.

She hadn’t expected that with this opportunity right before him, he would actually refuse…

The Tenth Seat looked at the Dragon King, smiling, and said: “You are an excellent leader. Manage your race well. We will have a chance to meet again in the future.”

After speaking, he turned and stepped into the abyss-like black hole with the Pet egg, disappearing from sight.

Mi Jiala came to the Dragon King’s side and patted his shoulder in comfort.

“Mog Mog…”

The Dragon King was in low spirits.

Although it was a refusal he had carefully considered, his mood was still inevitably low.

This might be his only chance to join the Beast Tamer Alliance, interact with the Tenth Seat, and make a name for himself…

“Don’t be sad,” Mi Jiala comforted. “Didn’t the Tenth Seat say you’d have a chance to meet again in the future?”

“Mog Mog…”

The Dragon King didn’t retort to Mi Jiala as he usually did. Instead, he waved his paw and called out, as if stating a fact, indicating that she didn’t understand because she didn’t socialize much, and that these were just polite formalities from a superior.

Mi Jiala: “…”

Qiao Sang said: “Since there’s nothing else to do, let’s leave here.”

“Ya Ya!”

Ya! regained his usual spirit and called out, showing no objections.

For him, Liousias being able to turn back into an egg was a pretty good outcome.

After all, being able to turn into a Pet egg meant he could hatch again, just like Colored Flower Bud Shalala.

Mi Jiala looked over and asked: “Have you thought about where you want to go next?”

Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and suggested: “How about Zheng Prefecture?”

She wanted to see the desolate land that was still a fire spirit vein a hundred years ago.

“Ting Ting…”

Ting Bao, staying next to Lu Bao, couldn’t help but call out, suggesting they change locations.

He hadn’t forgotten how hot Zheng Prefecture was.

Qiao Sang looked over.

Ting Bao remembered what the Dragon King had said to him earlier, his body stiffened, and he added with a cry: “Ting Ting.”

He definitely wasn’t unable to endure the hot weather.

You’re being stubborn… Qiao Sang nodded and said: “I know.”

“Then we’ll go to Zheng Prefecture,” Mi Jiala said.

Ting Bao: “…”

“But before we go to Zheng Prefecture, let’s check out first,” Mi Jiala continued.

…

Hotel.

Front desk.

“Guests, have you seen Number Three?” the Staff asked. “That’s the Yuan Ice Jellyfish that was serving you in the suite. We can’t reach it, nor can we find it.”

Mi Jiala glanced at Pen Jiami.

Pen Jiami, without a word, his eyes glowed blue.

The Staff’s eyes became empty.

“There was never any Yuan Ice Jellyfish, and we don’t know any Number Three,” Mi Jiala said calmly.

The Staff’s expression returned to normal, revealing a polite smile, and said: “Alright, guests, I hope your stay has been a pleasant experience.”

…

High in the sky.

On the way to Zheng Prefecture.

“Xiao Xunbao ~”

Xiao Xunbao humbly sought guidance from Pen Jiami. She still remembered him saying he would teach her how to hypnotize others’ thoughts after he was done with his business.

Previously, her hypnosis at most made others fall into dreams, making them dream what she wanted, or making them uncontrollably speak some truths, but she couldn’t completely control others’ behavior and thoughts like Pen Jiami.

“Pen Pen.”

Pen Jiami no longer declined and began to teach.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao listened carefully, then thought of something, took off her ring, pulled out an ant she had casually caught not long ago, and began to experiment.

“Now that Qiao Sang’s contract slots are full and you’ve met the Tenth Seat, do you still want to come with me?” Mi Jiala asked the Dragon King.

She had always known why the Dragon King followed her.

“Mog Mog.”

The Dragon King glanced at her, flying and calling out, indicating that she was his Yu Beast Master, and if he didn’t go with her, who would he go with?

Mi Jiala, hearing this, was inexplicably flattered.

She hadn’t seen the Dragon King speak to her so nicely in a long time.

“Aren’t you returning to your tribe?” Mi Jiala asked.

“Mog Mog.”

The Dragon King called out, indicating there was no hurry, they hadn’t seen each other for a long time, and it wouldn’t be too late for him to return after she left Yan Tian Star.

Mi Jiala was stunned.

She could feel that what the Dragon King was saying now wasn’t an excuse, but the truth.

All the above conversations were translated by Steel Treasure in her mind.

Qiao Sang leaned over and whispered: “Teacher, I feel like the Dragon King is speaking to you much more gently now.”

So you knew he wasn’t gentle with me before… Mi Jiala sighed inwardly and changed the subject: “What are your thoughts on tai yang jing (sun crystal) now?”

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said: “I’ll wait for news from Senior Brother Kang. If I really can’t find tai yang jing (sun crystal), I’ll try to participate in the Master Challenge Cup in the future.”

Ya!’s next stage of evolution material now only lacked tai yang jing (sun crystal). Before collecting tai yang jing (sun crystal), she would absolutely not leave Yan Tian Star.

If it were a few months ago, she would definitely be doing nothing but inquiring for information.

But now, her brain domain had broken through to 60%, Ya! had also evolved into a King-level, and with one more Pet evolution, she would be able to participate in the A-Rank Professional Beastmaster assessment.

Once she became an A-Rank Professional Beastmaster, she would be qualified to sign up for the Master Challenge Cup.

Although the chances of winning were slim, there was a way to obtain tai yang jing (sun crystal), and there was no reason not to try.

Mi Jiala smiled and said: “As expected of my student, very ambitious.”

Qiao Sang pretended to look embarrassed and said: “Mainly, I don’t know any other ways to obtain tai yang jing (sun crystal).”

Mi Jiala changed the subject again and said: “There’s one thing you mustn’t forget to do when you go to Zheng Prefecture.”

“What?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Update Yan Jiaoou’s information,” Mi Jiala smiled. “No, it shouldn’t be called Yan Jiaoou anymore.”

Saying that, she asked: “Have you thought of a race name for Yan Jiaoou’s evolved form?”

Ya! flew along, perking up his ears.

I haven’t even had time to look at the yu beast codex… Qiao Sang pretended to ponder for a moment and said: “I haven’t thought of it yet.”

“No hurry,” Mi Jiala said. “We still have some distance to Zheng Prefecture, you can think about it slowly.”

Qiao Sang hummed, then outwardly sat cross-legged in Meditation, but in reality, her consciousness entered the yu beast codex. (End of Chapter)
