Chapter 69: Has the water been released?

The sunglasses in front of her were trendy in design and striking in color, exuding a sweet and energetic vibe.

They certainly looked like eye-catching sunglasses.

However, if Fire Fang Dog were to wear them, they wouldn’t be very suitable.

Because they were heart-shaped, pink sunglasses.

Qiao Sang was silent for a while, then politely refused, “No, thank you. As you can see, the sunglasses Fire Fang Dog wore in the last competition were completely ruined. If your sunglasses get ruined in the finals, it might not be good.”

“Woof.”

Fire Fang Dog nodded repeatedly, extending its paw to show the damaged red sunglasses.

Song Yuan chuckled, “The frame material of these sunglasses is made from the nails of a Nijian Lizard. I can’t speak for other competitions, but for a competition of Bai Xin Competition’s caliber, there will definitely be no problem.”

“I know what you’re worried about, but you have to trust my business acumen. It’s like a soft girl riding a motorcycle, or a stoic man going to a nightclub—that kind of contrasting cuteness is the most appealing.”

That actually made a lot of sense.

As expected of a businesswoman, Qiao Sang was almost persuaded.

However, Fire Fang Dog showed such strong resistance that Qiao Sang felt it was best to respect its opinion.

“This might not be suitable for Fire Fang Dog…”

“If Fire Fang Dog can wear them in the finals, even if our future collaboration doesn’t work out, I’ll still pay you an additional fee, starting at five figures.” Song Yuan spread out her five fingers.

“It couldn’t be more suitable,” Qiao Sang continued.

“Woof?”

…

Inside the contestant lounge.

Wei Wenya sat on the sofa, while a blue duck-shaped Pet did one-handed push-ups on the floor.

“Dad, is what you said true?”

“Of course. The prize was personally placed by your second uncle. How could he lie to you?” replied the man sitting on the sofa.

He had a slicked-back hairstyle, wore a black suit, and his leather shoes were polished to a shine. He sat cross-legged, leaning back on the sofa, looking like a business elite.

“But won’t it be discovered if Second Aunt authenticates an A-grade Water-type Evolution Stone as D-grade at the appraisal institute?” Wei Wenya asked, worriedly.

“Your Second Aunt is an experienced appraiser. No one will suspect her. Besides, she handled this matter herself; no one else was involved,” the man said unhurriedly.

“Then can we talk to the organizers about swapping the first and second-place prizes? Otherwise, it’ll be too embarrassing for me to deliberately lose to a freshly graduated middle schooler in front of so many people,” Wei Wenya whined.

“You need to understand that what’s important now isn’t rank or face, but Power Head Duck’s future growth. With this Water-type Evolution Stone, Dad will then find a way to get you a bottle of high-purity Green Life Water.”

“Once Power Head Duck evolves into a High-level Pet, you’ll have a chance to try and get into Yongda’s School Team.”

“Besides, the child you’re competing against next has already beaten Hou Xiangyu, so even if you lose, it won’t be that embarrassing,” the man said patiently.

“I understand,” Wei Wenya conceded.

The conversation between father and daughter did not affect Power Head Duck; it continued to do one-handed push-ups tirelessly.

…

“Ladies and gentlemen! We have finally reached the final stage of our Bai Xin Competition! Let’s welcome contestant Wei Wenya and contestant Qiao Sang, who have fought their way through several days of competition to reach this point!” the Commentator exclaimed passionately.

To the background music playing in the arena, Qiao Sang appeared on the field with Fire Fang Dog.

A burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the audience.

“Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!”

“Fire Fang Dog! Fire Fang Dog!”

“Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!”

“Fire Fang Dog! Fire… huh?”

The cheering audience hesitated as they looked at Fire Fang Dog entering the arena.

Why did the sunglasses Fire Fang Dog was wearing look different from its usual ones?

On the big screen, Fire Fang Dog was seen wearing a cold expression and a pair of pink heart-shaped sunglasses that completely clashed with its image.

Honestly.

The visual impact was quite strong.

It truly lived up to its reputation as a Beginner Pet that defeated Control Scale Puppet.

So unique!

“Fire Fang Dog! Fire Fang Dog!”

On the field.

Fire Fang Dog tried hard to suppress the grin on its face.

Its Yu Beast Master really hadn’t lied to it.

Wearing these sunglasses, it looked incredibly handsome.

Normally, they wouldn’t cheer for it like this.

It seemed that human aesthetics were quite different from its own.

When the background music stopped, Wei Wenya formed hand seals, and Electric Mischief Cat appeared on the field.

Qiao Sang was a bit surprised.

Wei Wenya was someone she had noticed and recorded in her memo on the first day of the competition.

She naturally knew that Wei Wenya also had a Water-type Pet, Power Head Duck.

She hadn’t expected the opponent not to send out a Pet that could counter her with elemental advantage.

Perhaps they thought it wasn’t necessary…

After all, Electric Mischief Cat, apart from its defense, was superior to Fire Fang Dog in other aspects.

Following the referee’s whistle, Electric Mischief Cat bared its teeth and let out a cry, simultaneously straightening its curled tail.

A dazzling bolt of lightning suddenly appeared from the sky and struck the position where Fire Fang Dog was standing.

Fire Fang Dog’s figure flickered, rapidly splitting into 8 copies that surrounded Electric Mischief Cat from different directions.

The two Fire Fang Dogs running directly in front instantly dissipated under the lightning attack, disappearing from sight.

The remaining 6 Fire Fang Dogs continued their encirclement.

As they approached Electric Mischief Cat, all 6 Fire Fang Dogs simultaneously coated their fangs in flames, preparing to pounce and Bite.

“Quick, dodge!” Wei Wenya commanded swiftly.

If it got bitten, this round might be over.

She was prepared to lose, but she wanted to lose the match under her own control, not be truly defeated.

Electric Mischief Cat’s speed had always been its advantage.

But Fire Fang Dog was approaching it in an encirclement.

Hearing its Yu Beast Master’s command, Electric Mischief Cat looked around, unsure where to dodge. After a moment of hesitation, it could only jump upwards, intending to leap out of the encirclement.

Electric Mischief Cat’s jumping ability was strong, and this leap almost allowed it to escape.

However, one Fire Fang Dog jumped onto the back of another Fire Fang Dog and leaped forcefully, its flame-covered fangs biting onto Electric Mischief Cat’s tail, dragging it to the ground.

Then, the rest of the Fire Fang Dogs instantly pounced and completely Bit Electric Mischief Cat.

“Meow!!!”

Electric Mischief Cat let out a sharp shriek.

By the time the surrounding Fire Fang Dogs left, Electric Mischief Cat had already closed its eyes and fainted.

The referee was stunned for a moment.

He couldn’t believe the final had ended so quickly.

He came to his senses, walked over to Electric Mischief Cat, and assessed it, then confirmed that the match was truly over.

“The winner is contestant Qiao Sang.”

The audience was filled with murmurs of disappointment.

“This is the final?”

“It wasn’t even as exciting as the semi-finals.”

“It wasn’t even as exciting as the Pet performance show.”

“Why did Electric Mischief Cat dodge at the end? Its attack power is stronger than Fire Fang Dog’s. Why didn’t it just use Thunder to break out?”

Qiao Sang also had this question.

Wei Wenya, like Hou Xiangyu, was a contestant who consistently won by overwhelming her opponents; her skill shouldn’t be at this level.

When Wei Wenya sent out Electric Mischief Cat, she would always defeat her opponents with a single move like Thunder or Electric Shock, with no follow-up.

So, Qiao Sang couldn’t accurately judge her strength.

After her match with Hou Xiangyu, she had always placed Wei Wenya’s strength on the same level as Hou Xiangyu’s.

But this…

Did she go easy?

…

The passage from the Pet arena to the infirmary.

“Daughter, I said I wanted you to lose deliberately, but didn’t you lose a bit too quickly?” the man in the formal suit said sternly.

Wei Wenya: “…”
