Chapter 398: Undersea Hotel (second update)

“This guy is so tactless…” Jiang Xiu grumbled discontentedly.

Don’t look at him as an A-level Breeder; after receiving news that the Yu Beast Master of Ice Dew Qiya was coming here, there were simply too many Trainers of the same rank in the Ancient Mist region, both openly and secretly competing to be free labor. He didn’t know how those guys who buried themselves in research all day got their information so well-informed.

He was only able to get this job because he was Liu Yao’s senior in college and had some previous interactions with him.

“Forget it, there are still more than ten days. Let Qiao Sang fully experience the local customs of the Ancient Mist region first…” Jiang Xiu turned to the Sea Salt Lizard and said, “Let’s go.”

“Sea Salt.”

The Sea Salt Lizard nodded, slowly crawled into the waterway, and stopped by the bank.

“You can just come up,” Jiang Xiu said, sitting on the Sea Salt Lizard.

Unlike other Water-type Pets in the waterway, the Sea Salt Lizard didn’t have seats on its body, but it was large enough, and there were protrusions at intervals on its body, which could serve as backrests.

All four of them quickly sat down.

Jiang Xiu sat at the very front and stroked the Sea Salt Lizard’s head.

The next second, the Sea Salt Lizard opened its mouth, and a giant translucent bubble enveloped its entire body from front to back.

This isn’t going to go underwater, is it… Just as Qiao Sang had that thought, the Sea Salt Lizard plunged into the water.

In an instant, the scenery changed dramatically.

Logically, the bottom of the water at night should be terrifyingly dark, but at this time of day, the Hai City waterway was a deep blue, with various mysterious glowing Water-type extraordinary creatures decorating the bottom of the water, making it incredibly magnificent.

It was as if they had instantly arrived in another world.

“Holy crap! This is too beautiful, and these Pets, how can there be so many…” Qiao Sang was stunned by the sight before her.

She saw various Water-type Pets in groups of three or five all around, all of which she had never seen before.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao’s eyes sparkled, and she excitedly lay on the inner wall of the bubble, looking out.

“Oh my god! I definitely have to post this on my Moments!” Xu Yixuan excitedly took out her phone and started snapping photos.

Sun Boyi tried to maintain his dignity as a teacher, but in the end, he couldn’t resist taking out his phone and snapping two pictures.

Jiang Xiu turned his head, looking at the expression on Qiao Sang’s face, feeling very satisfied.

He just knew no one could refuse the underwater scenery of the Ancient Mist region.

“Are these all wild Pets?” Qiao Sang asked.

Jiang Xiu showed a charming smile and explained, “The Ancient Mist region is different from the Yuhua region. Our city is all water underneath, and the wild Pets at the bottom of the water can’t be completely driven out, so we simply coexist peacefully. As long as you don’t disturb them casually, nothing will happen.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a slender, transparent Pet with a pair of wing-like side fins blew a kiss to Xiao Xunbao outside the bubble.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao immediately became excited and wanted to break out of the bubble.

From birth until now, it was the first time a Pet had shown friendly signals upon first seeing her.

She wanted to be friends with it!

Qiao Sang was so scared that she quickly pulled Xiao Xunbao into her arms.

Jiang Xiu laughed, “This is a Kissing Winged Maria. It likes to blow kisses for no reason, and the number of objects it has blown kisses to is countless. Tell your Treasure Hunting Fairy not to take it too seriously.”

Qiao Sang didn’t even need to relay the message; Xiao Xunbao had already understood.

She stared blankly at the already departed Kissing Winged Maria, and sure enough, she saw it change its kissing target after swimming only a few steps.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao showed a crestfallen expression, and her newly ignited heart of friendship was shattered just like that.

But fortunately, Xiao Xunbao’s attention was too easily drawn.

Before long, she forgot about the Kissing Winged Maria and excitedly lay on the inner wall of the bubble, watching the other extraordinary creatures.

…

The Sea Salt Lizard did not swim towards the surface but instead swam deeper into the water.

Half an hour later, looking at the hotel in front of them, enveloped by a super-giant bubble and extremely luxurious and grand, Qiao Sang and the other two were stunned for a long time.

“Is the school really this generous this time?!” Xu Yixuan was greatly shocked.

This was the kind of shock one could only appreciate after participating in competitions for two consecutive years and staying in budget hotels each time.

The building before them, from every angle, met the standards of a five-star hotel.

In the Ancient Mist region, for hotels of the same star rating, the price underwater was three times that on land.

In other words, one night at the five-star hotel in front of them was equivalent to three nights at a five-star hotel on land!

Sun Boyi hesitated, “Coach Jiang, I don’t think I booked this hotel.”

So they went to the wrong place… Xu Yixuan felt a pang of disappointment.

Jiang Xiu laughed, “I looked at the hotel you booked. The rooms aren’t big, and it’s not convenient for training. You’ve had a long journey, and it’s not easy to come to the Ancient Mist region, so you should stay somewhere more comfortable.”

“So I rebooked a hotel for you. This hotel is directly above the Hai City Pet Beast Battle Arena, so it will be convenient for you when you go to the competition.”

“The rooms I booked for you all have floor-to-ceiling windows, so you can enjoy the underwater scenery while you sleep. I think your Water-type Pets will really like it.”

After speaking, he looked at Qiao Sang, almost saying:

“I booked this hotel specifically for Ice Dew Qiya; she will definitely like it!”

They’re actually staying at this hotel… Xu Yixuan was overjoyed and couldn’t wait to move in immediately.

Sun Boyi thanked him, looking at Qiao Sang with a complex expression, clearly knowing why Jiang Xiu was doing all this.

…

Three people, three rooms.

The extremely luxurious decor, with various extraordinary Water-type creatures passing by the windows from time to time, and no sense of water suffocation, gave the illusion that one could also breathe and live underwater.

Qiao Sang summoned Ya Bao and Lu Bao, who were still sleeping, lay down on the bed, her eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and she fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, Qiao Sang was startled awake by a chorus of “Ya Ya!”, “Xiao Xunbao!”, “Lu Lu!”

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Ya Bao and the others excitedly peering out of the floor-to-ceiling window.

Ya Bao and Lu Bao were close together, their tails wagging in sync, as if their relationship had suddenly improved.

Qiao Sang sat up, staring at the scene before her for a moment, “You two made up?”

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao heard her Yu Beast Master’s voice, turned around, and excitedly jumped over in two or three steps.

Qiao Sang subconsciously caught it.

“Lu.”

On the other side, Lu Bao heard this, turned her head, first froze, then tilted her head, showing an arrogant expression.

Who made up with this guy?

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao didn’t care what Lu Bao said at all. She excitedly pointed her paw at the window and barked twice, indicating how beautiful it was here.

Qiao Sang stared at Ya Bao for two seconds and asked, “Don’t you hate water the most?”

“Ya?”

Ya Bao froze, showing a bewildered expression.

Oh right, but it seems she doesn’t hate it that much now…

Qiao Sang knew what was going on.

Ever since Ya Bao evolved and gained a Superpower System attribute, she hadn’t disliked water as much.

When training with Lu Bao in the courtyard, sometimes water splashed on her, and she didn’t show any annoyed expression.

Plus, Lu Bao had been practicing Water-type skills next to her, so seeing it often made her get used to it.

However, this was a good opportunity to mend Ya Bao and Lu Bao’s relationship, so she wouldn’t tell the real reason.

Qiao Sang pretended to think for a moment, then enlightened, “Is it because of Lu Bao that you don’t dislike water now?”

“Ya…”

Ya Bao seriously recalled, and it seemed that she really hadn’t disliked water as much after Lu Bao arrived.

So, she nodded.

“Lu…”

Lu Bao’s body suddenly stiffened upon hearing the conversation.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang seized the opportunity and said, “Lu Bao, this is the Ancient Mist region now. You’re more familiar with the water, so if we go out to play, you’ll have to keep a close eye on Ya Bao.”

“Xun!” Xiao Xunbao barked, indicating her presence.

“And Xiao Xunbao,” Qiao Sang added.

“Lu.”

Lu Bao didn’t look in Ya Bao’s direction. She stiffly nodded her head, indicating that she understood.
