Chapter 391: Depart in three days

The live broadcasts on the two major satellite channels were still ongoing.

As soon as Qiao Sang stepped down from the awards stage with her prize, a group of media reporters surrounded her, their camera flashes going off like crazy.

The reporters from the two major satellite channels in Zhehai Province were invited by the government, while the rest of the reporters had received news and rushed over.

“Qiao Sang, under what circumstances did Yan Ling Dog evolve into Liao Xing Hound? It’s been over three months since the appearance of Yan Ling Dog, but there hasn’t been a second Yan Ling Dog yet. Is it because the conditions for evolving into Yan Ling Dog are very difficult?” a reporter asked.

Qiao Sang said, “Yan Ling Dog evolved into Liao Xing Hound during a battle. As for the conditions for evolving into Yan Ling Dog, a specialized research team has already been established. I believe everyone will know the specific evolution conditions very soon.”

Another reporter then asked:

“Hello, Qiao Sang, I’m a reporter from the Ancient Mist region. Would you mind telling us how you encountered Ice Dew Qiya?”

From the Ancient Mist region… Qiao Sang was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, “Of course. I was renting a house outside of school at the time, and it was in the pond in the backyard of that house. Back then, it was still Water Luyana.”

The reporter who asked the question was completely stunned.

He had thought of many possible answers, but he never would have guessed this one.

Encountering the endangered Pet Water Luyana in a rented house—how did that sound so much like a folk tale?

A reporter next to them suddenly asked, “Qiao Sang, do you have any special techniques for discerning Pet talent?”

Qiao Sang shook her head, “No.”

The reporter who had just spoken was somewhat disbelieving. Qiao Sang’s three Pets all had extremely abnormal talent. Not only could they use high-level skills, but their proficiency was also incredibly high.

It was understandable for one Pet to have high talent, but how could it be a coincidence for three Pets to have extraordinarily high talent?

Just as he was about to continue asking, other reporters had already seized the opportunity to ask questions:

“Qiao Sang, you’re clearly still in your first year of high school, so why did you participate in the National Campus Pet Beast League for the third-year high school section?”

The other reporters quieted down; they clearly wanted to know this answer as well.

Qiao Sang smiled and replied, “Initially, it was the principal’s suggestion.”

The principal?

The reporters looked around, searching for the principal of Saint Water Middle School.

At this moment, on the outer perimeter of the reporters, Wang Weidou, who had changed into a new outfit and had been standing there for a long time, almost couldn’t control his calm and composed expression. His heart pounded a few extra beats.

The reporters finally remembered him…

…

That afternoon, a piece of news quickly soared to the top of the hot search list.

ChapterNational Campus Pet Beast League Zhehai High School Third Year Champion Only 15 Years Old# Chapter

This hot search was pushed down by other topics after only an hour or so.

Although it didn’t stay long, the news still spread within Zhehai Province.

Just as the news spread, on a bus from Kai Nan City to Hanggang City, Yabao was excitedly wagging its tail as it looked out the window.

It hadn’t looked at the scenery like this in a long time!

Qunbao occasionally poked the black bracelet on Yabao’s paw with curiosity.

Qiao Sang smiled and took pictures of the two of them.

Xu Yixuan exclaimed, “I didn’t expect your prize to be this.”

Qiao Sang smiled and said, “I didn’t expect it either.”

As soon as she came out of Kai Nan Pet Beast Battle Arena, she couldn’t wait to put the bracelet on Yabao. This bracelet was indeed the lightweight shrinking bracelet she had envisioned.

With a flick of the switch, a light shone, instantly transforming Yabao to the size of a Fire Fang Dog.

Sun Boyi, in the front row, turned his head and explained with a smile, “The prizes for the top three in each competition are selected based on the contestants’ circumstances.”

“I estimate they chose this for you because you’re a first-year high school student, and it would be inconvenient to summon a Liao Xing Hound that’s much larger than your classmates’ Pets during Pet activity classes. So, it’s quite thoughtful.”

It was indeed very thoughtful… Qiao Sang thought to herself.

High school courses included Pet activity classes.

In addition to allowing Pets to be more active, the purpose was also to let Pets interact more with other Pets and get along well, to prevent Pets from suddenly getting into conflicts when they saw other Pets on the road.

This was especially true for the first contracted Pet of a novice Yu Beast Master.

They had just become Yu Beast Masters and didn’t know much about the habits of Pets, and the first Pet of a novice Yu Beast Master was usually a Pet cub.

Novice and cub, situations could easily arise.

For example, at the beginning of the school year, a classmate in Class 3 caused a funny incident.

His Pet was a Water Tear Spider. This Pet would uncontrollably want to cry whenever the wind blew on it.

Because of this, it hated the wind very much.

But on the first day of school, a discipline committee member’s Pet at the school gate happened to be a Wind Messenger Bird. As long as the Wind Messenger Bird flapped its wings and flew, it would create wind strong enough to blow people’s hair.

Coincidentally, the Water Tear Spider, standing on its Yu Beast Master’s shoulder, happened to pass by the Wind Messenger Bird.

The Water Tear Spider looked at the Wind Messenger Bird.

The Wind Messenger Bird, still flapping its wings, friendly grinned at the Water Tear Spider.

The Water Tear Spider thought the other party was Taunting, and then the two Pets started fighting.

This demonstrated the importance of Pet activity classes.

As long as Pets had more contact with other Pets, and Pets understood each other, such situations could be reduced.

The leader who selected the prize probably thought Yabao was too young, but because of its large size and strong power, other same-aged Pets wouldn’t dare approach it during Pet activity classes, which is why they chose this lightweight shrinking bracelet.

Qiao Sang looked at Yabao and Qunbao, aimed her phone at them, and continued taking photos.

…

Hanggang City.

Chang’an Road.

Tianjingyuan 1705.

As soon as Lubao came out, it ran to the courtyard to train the concentrated condensation of energy during Snowfall.

From the outside, this courtyard looked like it was snowing.

Yabao had been incredibly excited since it got smaller. Rarely, it didn’t go straight to training upon returning home, but instead played a long-awaited game of hide-and-seek with Qunbao.

“Lubao, aren’t you going to play with us?” Qiao Sang asked as she walked into the courtyard.

“Lu.”

Lubao let out a haughty cry, indicating it wasn’t needed.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Qiao Sang walked to the entrance and opened the door: “Mom, you’re here.”

Ye Xiangting placed the groceries she was carrying on the ground and said as she took off her shoes, “The shop was a bit busy, otherwise I would have come two hours earlier. You must be hungry, right? I bought a lot of groceries, I’ll go cook now.”

Qiao Sang picked up the groceries from the floor: “I’ll help you.”

Ye Xiangting was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, “Okay.”

With that, the two of them went into the kitchen, and Qiao Sang closed the glass sliding door.

The invisible Qunbao stealthily floated in.

Upon realizing Qunbao had entered, Qiao Sang looked through the glass door at Yabao, who was rummaging around the living room, and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly:

When it comes to hide-and-seek, Yabao is clearly no match for Qunbao…

“What are you thinking about?” Ye Xiangting asked as she washed the vegetables.

“Nothing,” Qiao Sang said.

Ye Xiangting suddenly said, “Your grandma called me today.”

Qiao Sang was startled: “Grandma?”

Ye Xiangting hummed in affirmation, then continued, “She saw you on TV and said she wanted to come see you.”

“No, thanks,” Qiao Sang refused, “I wouldn’t even know what to say if we met.”

“Actually, your grandma is quite good to you,” Ye Xiangting said as she chopped vegetables, “When your dad and I divorced, she was so angry she was hospitalized.”

“Let’s talk about it after my competition is over,” Qiao Sang changed the subject, “Oh right, Mom, how’s your house hunting going?”

“I found one,” Ye Xiangting said, “But the drawback is that it’s quite far from your school. The advantage is that it’s big enough, and the soundproofing is good, so you won’t disturb anyone no matter how you train.”

Qunbao can even use Space Movement, so being far from school isn’t a drawback at all… Qiao Sang was about to ask where the house was located when she suddenly felt her phone vibrate.

She took it out and saw a message from Sun Teacher:

【This divisional competition has been confirmed to be held in the Ancient Mist region. We depart in three days.】
