Chapter 293: Three years

“Who died? Who died! Speak clearly!”

Jian Zhanxiaozi was about to question, but then it suddenly realized something, showing a dazed expression.

Immediately after, it came back to its senses, quickly propped itself up with both hands, and inverted itself again.

“Jian Jian!”

Jian Zhanxiaozi showed an excited expression as it felt the changes in its body.

It alternately tucked in its left hand and then its right hand, constantly switching between single-hand inversions.

“Do you feel super healthy now?” Qiao Sang asked with a smile.

“Jian Jian!”

Jian Zhanxiaozi landed on its feet, ending its inversion, and bowed deeply to Qiao Sang, expressing its gratitude.

It understood that its injuries were healed because of this human in front of it.

“Lu.”

At this moment, Lu Bao took a step forward, looked at Jian Zhanxiaozi, and called out, indicating its presence.

“Jian Jian!”

Jian Zhanxiaozi understood and also bowed to Lu Bao.

“Lu.”

Lu Bao showed a satisfied expression.

“Xun.”

Little Xunbao also floated forward to join the fun.

Jian Zhanxiaozi glanced at Little Xunbao but ignored it.

Little Xunbao: “…”

Why didn’t it bow to it?

“Jian Jian!”

After bowing, Jian Zhanxiaozi looked excited, its eyes seemingly glowing, and then it impatiently ran into the house.

“Xun?”

Little Xunbao watched Jian Zhanxiaozi’s retreating figure from the side, tilting its head.

Why was the scent gone?

Qiao Sang’s mood completely lightened when she saw Little Xunbao’s reaction.

Although she didn’t know Jian Zhanxiaozi, it was a worthwhile deal to save a young life with a Healing Light that only consumed energy and had no cost!

Qiao Sang bent down and picked up Lu Bao, and just as she was about to walk back, she saw Liu Qijia running over.

“Where did you go? Why did you suddenly disappear?” Liu Qijia asked, panting.

“I just came here.” Qiao Sang replied.

Liu Qijia: “…”

If you answer like that, my question seems very silly… Liu Qijia complained inwardly.

“Little Xunbao ran off just now, and I came over to chase it,” Qiao Sang continued.

“Xun~”

Little Xunbao blinked, looking innocent.

Liu Qijia glanced at the Treasure Hunting Fairy and decided not to delve into why the Treasure Hunting Fairy ran.

If he dug deeper and got targeted, what would he do? This was a Ghost-type Pet after all…

“Let’s not talk about this, we should hurry…” Liu Qijia’s words trailed off halfway as his eyes caught sight of the Pet Qiao Sang was holding, and he paused, asking, “Is this the third Pet you contracted?”

“Yes.” Qiao Sang nodded.

“It looks quite…” Liu Qijia said, reaching out to Pet it.

“Lu.”

Lu Bao directly slapped his hand with its tail.

“…unique.” Liu Qijia retracted his hand, silently changing his description.

“Let’s go to your father’s place now, aren’t you supposed to hurry back to school for dorm checks?” Qiao Sang reminded him.

“Right, right, right!” Liu Qijia nodded.

He quickly led the way.

“I just called my father, he’s in the aerobic training area inside,” Liu Qijia said as they walked.

Qiao Sang asked, “Do you have a phone on you?”

“No,” Liu Qijia replied, “I just met an acquaintance, an uncle, and used his phone to call.”

Qiao Sang said nothing more.

Liu Qijia led the way for a while, constantly sneaking glances at the Pet Qiao Sang was holding, and finally couldn’t resist asking, “What’s this Pet called? I don’t think I’ve ever seen it before.”

“Ice Dew Qiya, it’s a Pet from the Ancient Mist region,” Qiao Sang said.

“No wonder…” Liu Qijia showed a look of sudden realization.

No wonder he hadn’t seen it, it turned out to be a Pet from the Ancient Mist region.

Indeed, if this little creature were from the Yuhua region, girls would probably have one each…

During their conversation, Liu Qijia stopped outside a door.

“We’re here.”

Liu Qijia pushed the door open and walked in, with Qiao Sang following behind.

As soon as she entered, she saw the Jian Zhanxiaozi from earlier.

“Jian Jian!”

Jian Zhanxiaozi was staring angrily at a Middle-aged Man.

“It’s not that I don’t want to contact your Yu Beast Master,” the Middle-aged Man said helplessly, “It’s that your Yu Beast Master said a long time ago that he’s been busy in other regions for the past few months, so if there’s anything, just send a message, don’t call.”

“I send him messages every day, he might be too busy to see them. When he sees them after some time, he’ll naturally contact me, and I’ll definitely tell you immediately.”

“Jian Jian!”

Jian Zhanxiaozi showed an anxious expression, it immediately inverted itself on the spot, and then continuously switched between single-hand inversions with its left and right hands, indicating that it was completely well and had no problems.

“I know you’re better,” the Middle-aged Man said, a hint of heartache in his eyes, and he sighed, “I actually tried to contact your Yu Beast Master just now, but he didn’t reply.”

“Jian…”

Jian Zhanxiaozi stopped its inversion, showing a dejected expression, and then walked out the door as if it couldn’t see anything.

“Xun!”

Little Xunbao looked at Jian Zhanxiaozi’s retreating figure, its nose twitched, and its eyes lit up.

This guy, he smells good again!

Qiao Sang’s thoughts drifted as she saw Little Xunbao’s reaction.

Lu Bao had just used a Healing Light on Jian Zhanxiaozi, it couldn’t possibly be unwell again in less than ten minutes.

It seemed what attracted Little Xunbao earlier wasn’t death qi…

Good thing, no one knew, not awkward… Qiao Sang comforted herself.

“Lu.”

Unnoticed by anyone, Lu Bao looked in the direction Jian Zhanxiaozi disappeared with a thoughtful expression.

“Father!” Liu Qijia called out.

“You’re here.” The Middle-aged Man, who was Liu Ba, turned to Qiao Sang and asked, “Is this your expert classmate?”

“Yes.” Liu Qijia nodded.

“Hello, Uncle,” Qiao Sang said politely.

“Hello.” Liu Ba gave a stiff smile, “Please, have a seat.”

If you want me to sit, there needs to be a stool! Qiao Sang glanced at the room, which had no chairs, and said, “I won’t sit.”

Liu Ba also realized the problem, laughed awkwardly, and said to Liu Qijia, “Son, go get a few stools.”

“Oh.” Liu Qijia responded and walked out of the room.

The atmosphere in the room instantly became awkward.

The two sides remained silent.

Liu Ba opened his mouth several times, unsure how to speak.

To be honest, he was surrounded by rough men, and besides his wife, he hadn’t really interacted much with the opposite sex, let alone such a delicate young girl.

After a long silence, Qiao Sang was the first to speak, “Uncle, what happened with that Jian Zhanxiaozi just now?”

“You mean it,” Liu Ba said in a deep voice, “It’s a Pet entrusted here by a Yu Beast Master. It wanted me to contact its Yu Beast Master to pick it up.”

So it was an entrusted Pet… Qiao Sang understood.

When Yu Beast Masters have too many Pets to train, or are busy with other things in real life and don’t have time to care for their Pets, and don’t want to waste time, they usually choose to entrust their Pets to a Pet training facility for training.

“Has its Yu Beast Master not come to pick it up for a long time?” Qiao Sang asked.

Liu Ba paused, then replied:

“Quite a long time, three years.”
