Chapter 519: You go first

Sfevo Manor.

Banquet Hall.

Nine magnificent crystal chandeliers hung from the dome, and the long dining tables, covered with white cloths, were laden with delicious dishes, fine wines, and fruits.

Several Pets in uniforms continuously brought wine and dishes to the tables.

Acquainted guests gathered in twos and threes, either seated around sofas or standing by the dining tables, chatting and laughing, enjoying the wine and delicacies.

Miss Filis, the protagonist of the event, wore a red long dress, adorned with exquisite jewelry, and a gentle smile on her face, listening to the praises of those around her.

“Miss Filis, at such a young age, has already developed the second page of her yu beast codex; there are probably only a few like her in the entire Third District.”

“I heard that this time, various Pet bases have brought many Pets with extraordinary talents for Miss Filis to choose from.”

“Madam Mara is truly good to Miss Filis.”

At this moment, a Pet in a uniform led three young people into the hall.

As the three entered, the guests in the inner hall fixed their gaze on the Pet in the arms of the black-haired girl among them.

“Isn’t that Miss You Na? Why is her friend carrying a Pet in?” someone beside Miss Filis said.

Miss Filis looked at the Pet in the black-haired girl’s arms and frowned.

Qiao Sang came to the dining table and casually took a pastry, handing it to Ya Bao.

“Ya!”

Ya Bao took it with its paw and happily lowered its head to eat.

“Which one is your sister?” Qiao Sang asked.

“The one in the red long dress,” You Na indicated with her eyes towards the front right.

Tang Yi asked, “Don’t you need to go over?”

“No need,” You Na smiled. “My relationship with her isn’t good.”

Tang Yi was stunned for a moment and blurted out, “Why isn’t it good?”

What else could it be? In big families, bad relationships between siblings are always due to those few trivial matters… Qiao Sang looked over with a gossipy gaze.

You Na was silent for a moment, then said, “We don’t share the same father.”

Qiao Sang: “!!!”

Honestly, she had imagined many reasons, but she never thought it would be this one!

Tang Yi’s pupils constricted, clearly also shocked.

You Na continued:

“My mother and father were in an arranged marriage, then they peacefully separated, and later my mother married Miss Filis’s father.”

“No, wait a minute.” Qiao Sang stared blankly at You Na: “Married?”

You Na was first stunned, not knowing what was so confusing about that. Then she remembered Qiao Sang was from Blue Star and explained:

“Here on Super Dormant Star, we value strength more. Whoever has a higher Yu Beast Master level is the one who marries, as stronger abilities are better for supporting a family.”

Qiao Sang immediately became interested: “What if one is a Pet Coordinator and the other is a Professional Beast Tamer, but their levels are the same?”

You Na smiled, “Pet Coordinators are always so flashy; how can their strength compare to a Professional Beast Tamer? Of course, the Professional Beast Tamer is the one who marries.”

“No wonder they say Super Dormant Star has the most Professional Beast Tamers,” Tang Yi sighed.

“The abundance of Professional Beast Tamers is mainly because there are too many wild Pets around,” You Na said. “It has little to do with who marries whom. The one who marries bears greater responsibility, and not everyone wants to be the one who marries.”

Qiao Sang thought to herself that she was gaining new knowledge.

At this moment, the lights went out, and a beam of light shone on the high platform.

A man walked up, followed by a small, four-legged, three-tailed, fox-like Pet.

“It’s starting,” You Na whispered, looking at the stage. “Most of the people who come to this banquet are actually here for this Pet exhibition. All the major Pet bases bring their most talented Pets, and even if Miss Filis chooses first, the remaining Pets are still rarely seen.”

“If you have any Pets you want to contract, just tell me, and I’ll have someone reserve them for you.”

Qiao Sang felt a surge of emotion. She didn’t recognize most of the Pets on Super Dormant Star, and her choices could only be based on online opinions. Now, talented Pets were directly presented, and there was even someone to introduce them—it couldn’t be better.

The man on stage began to introduce: “This Ice Fox can exhale breath at minus 50 degrees Celsius.”

“Jue Jue!”

The Ice Fox cooperatively exhaled a blast of icy air.

“It is now six months old and has learned Tackle, Fine Snow, Icy Wind, and Ice Fang.”

Every time the man mentioned a skill, the Ice Fox demonstrated it.

“It also possesses two major traits: Frozen Body and Pure Body,” the man continued.

Qiao Sang was stunned, thinking to herself, no wonder this Ice Fox was brought by the Pet base staff.

Pure Body prevents its abilities from being lowered by an opponent’s skills or traits, and Pets with this trait are rare.

At this moment, a white bird-type Pet also came onto the stage. It wasn’t there to be displayed but rather flapped its wings at the Ice Fox, launching several Air Blades.

“Jue Jue!”

The Ice Fox shrieked and flew backward several meters.

“What are they doing?” Qiao Sang asked with a frown.

“To demonstrate its trait,” You Na explained.

No sooner had she spoken than the white bird-type Pet on stage flapped its wings hard, and a small area of snow instantly fell.

The snow landed on the Ice Fox.

“Jue Jue!”

Soon, it stood up, letting out a vigorous cry.

The man announced loudly, “Everyone has seen the recovery ability of this Ice Fox. We initially judge its Frozen Body to have reached A-rank!”

A-rank Frozen Body… Among the opponents she had encountered, the only Pet with an A-rank trait was Song Xinyue’s Fire Finch… Qiao Sang suddenly turned to look at You Na.

“You want this Ice Fox?” You Na guessed, seeing Qiao Sang looking at her.

“No, I want to ask where the restroom is.”

You Na: “…”

…

Qiao Sang walked towards the restroom.

Along the way, people she encountered all cast their gaze upon her and Ya Bao.

“Ya…”

Ya Bao sighed.

This place is so boring; it’s better to go back to training.

Qiao Sang smiled, “You’ve been training all day; aren’t you tired yet?”

“Ya Ya.”

Ya Bao waved its paw. Lu Bao had given it Healing Light and Therapeutic Sound Wave, so it couldn’t get tired at all.

Qiao Sang was a bit surprised: “Are your relationships this good now?”

In the past, Lu Bao would only heal Ya Bao when she told her to. She didn’t expect that now, even when she wasn’t around, Lu Bao would actively heal Ya Bao.

“Ya Ya?”

Ya Bao showed a puzzled expression. Wasn’t its relationship with Lu Bao always good?

Qiao Sang: “.”

What kind of memory is this? You’ve forgotten that you two used to fight every day, haven’t you?

Suddenly, a voice sounded from ahead:

“What’s going on? How could such a mistake happen on such an important day!”

Qiao Sang looked in the direction of the voice and saw a Middle-aged Man sternly speaking to several Pets in uniforms:

“You go search over there, but don’t make too much noise; don’t disturb the guests.”

Qiao Sang walked past directly without too much curiosity; the most important thing now was to go to the restroom.

“Wait for me outside.” At the restroom door, Qiao Sang placed Ya Bao on the ground.

“Ya.” Ya Bao nodded.

Qiao Sang walked into the restroom. As soon as she pushed open the toilet stall door, her eyes met with those of a small bird-type Pet with red eyes and purple feathers all over its body, looking as if it were covered in armor.

“Gang Gang…” The bird-type Pet showed a wary expression.

After two seconds of staring, Qiao Sang slammed the toilet door shut: “You go first.”

Little Steel Falcon: “…”
