Chapter 294: Is singing useful? !

“Three years?”

Qiao Sang was shocked.

Yu Beast Masters who entrust their Pets to Pet training centers mostly do so for daily or weekly care, at most monthly. She had never heard of annual care!

And it was for three years!

Three years!

How many three-year periods does a person have in their life?!

For Beginner Pets, there aren’t even a few three-year periods!

If Ice Dew Qiya hadn’t evolved back then, she would have been gone in at most two three-year periods plus one year, directly occupying half of her short life!

No normal Yu Beast Master would do something like this!

“They haven’t come to see him for three years?” Qiao Sang couldn’t help but ask in detail.

“Yes.” Liu Ba nodded and said, “To be precise, it’s almost three and a half years. The care fees have been paid every year, but the person hasn’t visited once during that time.”

Well, it’s even longer than three years.

“Could it be that the person is no longer alive?” Qiao Sang speculated.

From her perspective, other than the person being gone, she really couldn’t think of any reason why a Yu Beast Master wouldn’t visit their Pet for three years.

Liu Ba’s mouth twitched upon hearing this, and he said, “He’s still alive and well, living in Tianjing No. 1, two kilometers away. He actually comes back every year for Chinese New Year, but he just hasn’t come to see the little fighter.”

Qiao Sang realized her mistake as soon as she asked.

If a Yu Beast Master were gone, even if they were tens of thousands of miles away, their contracted Pet would definitely sense it immediately. How could the little fighter still be foolishly waiting for his Yu Beast Master like this?

Originally, Qiao Sang’s second guess was that the little fighter’s Yu Beast Master might have truly encountered something outside and couldn’t return, but she didn’t expect him to come back every year.

This made Qiao Sang somewhat unable to comprehend. She frowned and then asked, “Why?”

Perhaps the young girl’s demeanor didn’t resemble that of a naive high school student, and after their conversation, Liu Ba momentarily forgot that she was still a minor.

Plus, he himself wanted to get it off his chest.

Liu Ba was silent for a moment before saying, “The Yu Beast Masters who entrust their Pets here are basically residents from the surrounding area. Although I haven’t really met the little fighter’s Yu Beast Master much, I occasionally hear people who come here mention him.”

“That guy made something of himself a few years ago. He contracted a Fairy-type Pet in a secret realm, so he put all his energy into that Pet, and he didn’t pay much attention to the Pets he had contracted before.”

“I heard from others that the Fairy-type Pet didn’t get along well with the little fighter. Later, the little fighter got injured in a battle and wasn’t treated in time, which led to sequelae. Even if he recovered, it would be difficult to undergo high-intensity training, otherwise it would easily relapse.”

“So that guy sent the little fighter here. Looking at the way he hasn’t visited for over three years, the little fighter has probably been abandoned.”

“Some people are like this. When they have too many Pets and develop a preference for one, the other Pets seem somewhat redundant.”

“But since they’re contracted, there’s nothing they can do. They don’t want to spend energy caring for them, so they send them to places.”

“Like here.” The more Liu Ba spoke, the more his emotions seemed off: “Anyway, as long as the Pets are alive and don’t affect them, it’s fine. If they evolve, even better. It’s just a matter of spending money. They never consider what a Yu Beast Master means to a Pet after contracting them!”

Qiao Sang remained silent, only tightening her grip slightly on Ice Dew Qiya.

Ice Dew Qiya showed a distressed expression, but she didn’t struggle or make a sound to remind her. She just looked up at Qiao Sang, who seemed lost in thought, and cleared her throat.

“Lu Lu…”

“Xun!”

The Xiao Xunbao next to her immediately showed a horrified expression. She quickly tugged at her Yu Beast Master’s hair with her claws twice.

Stop daydreaming! Something big has happened!

Qiao Sang came back to her senses, rubbing the spot on her head that had been tugged, and said painfully, “What’s wrong?”

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao trembled and pointed at Ice Dew Qiya with her claws, calling out.

As soon as she finished calling, Ice Dew Qiya had already opened her mouth:

“Lu~ Lulu Lulu~ Lulu~ Lu~ Lulu~”

“Xun!”

Qiao Sang: “!!!”

Holy cow! Why are you suddenly singing?! And why does it feel so much worse than yesterday?! Qiao Sang instinctively covered Ice Dew Qiya’s mouth with her hand.

Please! Stop singing!

“Lu…”

Ice Dew Qiya was forced to stop singing.

She didn’t struggle, but instead looked up at Qiao Sang and blinked.

Qiao Sang understood Ice Dew Qiya’s gaze and said with some unease:

“Wait, when I let go, don’t sing.”

Ice Dew Qiya nodded.

Qiao Sang then felt relieved and put her hand down.

“Lu?”

After her hand was down, Ice Dew Qiya called out, her expression as aloof as ever, but if one looked closely, they would find a serious emotion within it.

Is it better now?

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: “What’s better now?”

“Lu.”

Ice Dew Qiya called out.

My mood.

When Qiao Sang realized what Ice Dew Qiya was asking about, she suddenly found that the stuffy, uncomfortable feeling in her chest from a minute ago had completely vanished.

Qiao Sang was dumbfounded.

Holy cow?!

The song worked?!

Was Therapeutic Sound Wave mastered?!

If Xiao Xunbao knew what her Yu Beast Master was thinking, she would probably be so angry she’d have a heart attack.

“Xun…”

Xiao Xunbao called out weakly from the side.

She didn’t know if her Yu Beast Master was well, but she certainly wasn’t feeling well at all…

At this moment, Liu Ba looked at Ice Dew Qiya with a pale face and asked, “What kind of Pet is this? Why did it suddenly use a sound wave attack?”

“Yan Yan!”

The Pet, which had always been inconspicuous and was steadily performing a one-handed handstand, lost its balance for the first time today due to Ice Dew Qiya’s singing, experiencing strong tremors.

Qiao Sang: “…”

“Lu!”

Before Qiao Sang could answer, Ice Dew Qiya turned and glared at Liu Ba.

What sound wave attack? This is Therapeutic Sound Wave! It’s a Healing skill!

“She is Ice Dew Qiya, a Pet from the Ancient Mist region,” Qiao Sang introduced.

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Qijia and Yongli Monkey walked in, carrying three chairs.

“Dad, Qiao Sang is the person I told you about who won against me in bare-handed Chop with her Treasure Hunting Fairy last time.” Liu Qijia walked up to Qiao Sang, put down a stool, and said, “You still don’t believe me. Now that she’s here, let her Treasure Hunting Fairy show you Chop.”

After speaking, Liu Qijia winked at Qiao Sang in a direction his father couldn’t see, indicating that everything depended on her from now on!

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, then remembered her purpose for coming here.

Goodness, she almost forgot about the golden gloves!

“Is this true?!” Liu Ba looked shocked, as if some belief had been strongly impacted.

Qiao Sang was already numb to such expressions.

“Yes.” She calmly nodded and said placidly, “Uncle, can I show you Chop now? I still need to rush home to do my homework.”

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao floated forward and stretched her claws, showing an expression of “I’m ready.”

“Lu.”

Ice Dew Qiya looked at Qiao Sang and then at Xiao Xunbao, then looked towards the door.

After looking towards the door for three seconds, Ice Dew Qiya jumped down from Qiao Sang’s arms and walked out the door.
