Chapter 662: Require

“It needs to be large, close enough to Yu Liandun University, and most importantly, it must have a private outdoor training ground where various powerful attack skills can be practiced.” Qiao Sang paused, then added,

“I also hope to be far away from the neighbors, otherwise the noise from my side will definitely disturb them.”

The female agent was stunned after hearing the requirements.

Is she looking for a private mansion?

She subtly glanced at the bird-type Pet, which was about one meter tall, and said tactfully:

“Can you accept a house with only an indoor training ground? Indoor training grounds have good sound insulation, so no matter what noise is made, it won’t affect the neighbors.”

Indoor training grounds have many restrictions and cannot be used to practice various powerful skills like outdoor training grounds. Not to mention Xiao Xunbao, even Xiao Lu’s weather-type skills cannot be practiced, so Qiao Sang naturally did not accept.

She shook her head and said,

“An outdoor training ground is a must.”

The female agent smiled apologetically upon hearing this:

“A house that meets your requirements can only be a detached villa. Owners of such properties rarely rent them out, and I currently don’t have any such listings.”

“However, I have two townhouses here. Aside from being a bit far from Yu Liandun University and a bit close to the neighbors, everything else pretty much meets your requirements. Would you like to go take a look first?”

Given the noise Xiao Xunbao makes during training, being close to neighbors would surely lead to daily complaints… Qiao Sang refused:

“Forget it.”

After speaking, she turned to leave.

The female agent quickly rushed forward to block her, took out her phone, and said urgently:

“Would you mind leaving your contact information? I’ll contact you when I find a suitable property.”

“Alright.” After exchanging contact information with her, Qiao Sang left the real estate agency.

For the rest of the time, Qiao Sang went to several other real estate agencies.

The agents were all very enthusiastic, but unfortunately, none of them had a house that met her requirements.

Helpless, Qiao Sang could only temporarily find a five-star hotel with an outdoor training ground to stay in.

… …

Seven o’clock in the evening.

Vivory Hotel.

Room 3406.

Qiao Sang leaned against the headboard, operating her phone, and resubmitted the application for the miniature shrinking bracelet.

“Xiao Xunbao ~”

Xiao Xunbao’s paws rested on the huge floor-to-ceiling window, admiring the First District shrouded in night.

Xiao Gang was practicing Iron Wall.

Xiao Lu was in the bathroom, constantly controlling its energy to freeze the ground with Icy Wind, then shattering the ice with Water Tail, repeating the process.

Qiao Sang finished sending and put down her phone.

Just then, her phone vibrated. She picked it up and saw it was a video call, from her mother.

Qiao Sang answered the call and aimed the phone screen at herself.

Her mother’s cheeks on the other end were unbelievably red, clearly indicating she had too much to drink.

“My dear daughter, your uncles all want to see you. Come on, say hello to your eldest uncle first!” Ye Xiangting said with a beaming smile.

After speaking, the screen shifted.

Her eldest uncle’s large face appeared on the screen: “Sang, your mother said you were directly admitted to Imperial Beast Academy. Is that true?”

“Of course it’s true.” Qiao Sang smiled.

“Xiangting has been hosting banquets for so many days, how could it be false?” The phone on the other end was snatched away, and a somewhat familiar face appeared on the screen: “Sang, I’m your eldest aunt. Do you still remember me?”

Just as Qiao Sang was about to speak, the phone screen changed to another face:

“Sang! I’ve never seen an Imperial Beast Academy admission letter in my life. When are you coming back to let me see it? Just looking at pictures isn’t enough; I need to touch it a couple of times!”

“Alright, alright, she still has half a year to stay there.” Ye Xiangting took the phone back.

She looked at her daughter on the screen, an uncontrollable smile on her face.

Then she thought of something and said to the people at the table:

“You all eat first, I’ll go over there and chat for a bit.”

“Go on, go on!”

“No! We haven’t even said hello to Qiao Sang yet!”

“Interstellar calls are terribly expensive, are you paying for it?!”

The background on the screen kept changing, and the noisy sounds from the speaker gradually diminished. Qiao Sang could tell her mother had moved to a quiet place.

“Mom, why do I feel like you’ve been hosting banquets every day recently?” Seeing that there was no one around the screen, Qiao Sang finally couldn’t help but complain.

“You got into Imperial Beast Academy, so it wouldn’t be too much even if I hosted banquets for a year.” Ye Xiangting smiled: “When you come back, I’ll have to host more banquets.”

“Please don’t…” Qiao Sang was a bit resistant.

“Let’s not talk about this for now.” Ye Xiangting said with a smile: “I transferred money to you today, did you see it?”

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: “Why did you transfer money to me? I still have that card.”

Ye Xiangting said gently: “Not all places accept credit cards. I’ll feel more at ease if you have money in your bank card. Just use it. Your mom’s business is doing very well now, I can still afford to raise you. If you don’t have enough money, just tell me.”

If you knew how much Xiao Xunbao eats in a day, you wouldn’t say that… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly, then remembered that she hadn’t told her mother about Xiao Xunbao’s evolution, so she opened her mouth, just about to speak.

Unexpectedly, her mother spoke first:

“I won’t chat with you anymore, the call is quite expensive.”

After speaking, she directly hung up the video call.

Qiao Sang: “…”

Just now she said she had money and her business was doing very well, but then she started to feel bad about the phone bill…

Qiao Sang complained inwardly while opening her unread messages.

Soon, she looked at the transfer amount displayed in the message and fell silent.

1 million…

To be honest, her current unlimited card hadn’t expired, and 1 million was just a number to her, not really much. But this number was earned by her mother herself, which made its meaning very different.

Qiao Sang’s nose inexplicably tingled, and she suddenly felt motivated to improve.

She exited the message inbox and began to Meditate cross-legged.

… …

The next day.

Morning.

The vibrating sound of her phone suddenly echoed in the room. Qiao Sang, still half-asleep, fumbled for her phone and answered the call.

“Hello?”

“Ah? Are you still sleeping? Then I’ll call you back later.” A female voice that sounded familiar came from the speaker.

Qiao Sang half-opened her eyes and looked at the phone screen, realizing it was the female agent from the first real estate agency she visited yesterday.

She woke up a bit more and said,

“It’s fine, just tell me.”

At this moment, a blue light shone on her.

Qiao Sang immediately felt her mind completely clear, and she was no longer sleepy.

After the blue light faded, Qiao Sang looked to the side in surprise and indeed found Xiao Lu nearby.

“Ice Ke.”

Seeing that her Yu Beast Master was refreshed, Xiao Lu flicked its tail and walked into the glass-partitioned bathroom to continue its skill training.

“Hello? Miss Qiao, are you listening?” The female agent’s voice brought Qiao Sang’s attention back to the phone.

She said apologetically:

“Could you please say that again?”

“No problem at all.” The female agent said: “I just found a house that perfectly meets your requirements. When do you have time? We can meet, and I’ll take you to see it.”

Qiao Sang checked the time on her phone and said: “Let’s make it half past ten.”

“Okay.” The female agent smiled: “Then I’ll send you the location. You can just go directly to that location when the time comes.”

“Okay.” Qiao Sang hung up the phone after speaking, glanced at the faint blue light through the glass, got up, and went to the bathroom door.

As she got closer, she felt a chill.

“You didn’t sleep at all last night, did you? Just training?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Ice Ke.” Xiao Lu practiced Ice Shard Guard while letting out a cry, indicating that it had Healing Light and was fine without sleep.

A helpless expression appeared on Qiao Sang’s face.

She knew why Xiao Lu had been training so hard recently; it was because it wanted to quickly become stronger and evolve to catch up with Xiao Xunbao.

However, Xiao Lu’s evolution was the most difficult among all her Pets. If she didn’t add Points and followed the normal evolution path of the Ice Kexilu species, she had no clue at all…

Xiao Lu would probably have to remain in this state for a long time…

“Xiao Xunbao ~”

Just as Qiao Sang was feeling melancholic, Xiao Xunbao floated over and called out, indicating that it was also fine without sleep.

Qiao Sang: “…”

Others don’t sleep to train!

What about you?!

Qiao Sang glanced at the brightly lit computer screen on the table not far away, hesitated to speak, and finally shifted her gaze, adopting an out of sight, out of mind approach.

… …

Two hours later, Qiao Sang put Xiao Xunbao, who had just finished eating an Energy Pill, back into the yu beast codex at the outdoor training ground, then opened her navigation and mounted Xiao Gang.

It wasn’t that she couldn’t ride Xiao Xunbao, but she was worried that if Xiao Xunbao appeared in front of the female agent, the rent might suddenly be raised, which wouldn’t be good.

Although she had an unlimited card, she didn’t want to be taken advantage of.

High in the sky, Xiao Gang flew steadily.

“Am I heavy?” Qiao Sang asked.

Strictly speaking, Xiao Gang’s current size was not as tall as hers, but the strength of Pets was naturally different from humans. A Flying-type Pet over one meter tall could already carry a person in flight.

“Steel Guard.”

Xiao Gang let out a cry, indicating it wasn’t heavy.

Qiao Sang was very pleased to hear this, which meant Xiao Gang’s strength was still good.

After about half an hour, Xiao Gang landed at a lakeside villa.

The lake shimmered, with weeping willows planted along its banks, creating a pleasant scenery.

Medium to large Pets, carrying people, moved along the roads surrounding the villa.

“Here!” In the distance, the black female agent waved her hand.

Qiao Sang walked over and found a brown-haired woman in a light green casual long dress, looking about twenty years old, standing beside her.

“Allow me to introduce you, this is Miss Mi Er Na. The villa belongs to her parents, but she has full authority over it,” the female agent introduced with a smile.

“Hello.” Mi Er Na extended her hand.

“My name is Qiao Sang.” Qiao Sang shook her hand.

Mi Er Na subtly sized up the Steel Guardian Falcon beside her and asked:

“How long do you plan to rent for?”

“Half a year.” Qiao Sang said.

“Okay, please follow me.” Mi Er Na led the way, smiling: “My parents bought this villa five years ago. They bought the house here hoping that I could experience the atmosphere of Yu Liandun University. They thought living close by, I might even get to know people from Yu Liandun University and eventually get in.”

“Of course, I didn’t get in, so this house has been empty ever since.”
