Chapter 815: The King’s Breath (two in one)

The villa.

The living room.

After Xiao Xunbao used Space Movement to transfer her Yu Beast Master over, she immediately concealed her figure.

“Didi.”

Aodinihi, who was eating snacks on the sofa, saw this and called out, indicating why she was invisible and to come out quickly and watch TV with him.

Although Xiao Xunbao was a bit displeased with Aodinihi because all the rations in the ring were eaten, Aodinihi, having stayed safely in the ring the whole time and eaten a pile of things, was exceptionally close to Xiao Xunbao.

Xiao Xunbao did not show herself, nor did she speak, pretending she didn’t exist.

“Didi?”

Aodinihi immediately looked at Qiao Sang with a puzzled expression.

He remembered that this human was Xiao Xunbao’s Yu Beast Master.

Qiao Sang looked at Yabao: “Translate that.”

“Yaya.”

Yabao called out, indicating that this guy was asking what was wrong with Xiao Xunbao.

After translating, he remembered the scene he had just seen in the classroom and couldn’t help but bare his fangs in the direction of Xiao Xunbao’s aura.

He hadn’t expected Xiao Xunbao to have been coveting his position as boss!

“Ice Ai.”

Lubao also remembered the scene she had seen earlier; cold air spread from her body, and her eyes became profound.

Although she no longer compared herself to Yabao, Xiao Xunbao subconsciously thinking Yabao was the boss still made her a bit unhappy.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao, who was invisible, saw the expressions of Big Brother Yabao and Lubao, and sweat poured down her back.

She wished she could cover Aodinihi’s mouth.

Why mention her!

If she wasn’t mentioned, Big Brother Yabao and Lubao might have forgotten about her!

“Steel Slash?”

Steel Treasure felt the undercurrents in the room and looked at her Yu Beast Master in confusion, somewhat unsure what was happening.

“When Xiao Xunbao was using Memory Reading just now, Yabao and Lubao saw the scene where she imagined herself as the boss,” Qiao Sang replied to Steel Treasure in her mind first.

“Steel Slash…”

Steel Treasure suddenly understood.

She remembered Xiao Xunbao asking her if she could acknowledge her as the boss back then, but she hadn’t expected Xiao Xunbao still hadn’t given up.

Qiao Sang looked at Aodinihi: “Xiao Xunbao is fine; she just prefers to be invisible.”

Xiao Xunbao, still invisible, nodded repeatedly, indicating that was right, so, stop mentioning her!

Aodinihi heard this and didn’t immediately believe it; instead, his eyes glowed blue.

In his line of sight, Xiao Xunbao’s nodding became instantly clear.

“Didi.”

The blue light in Aodinihi’s eyes dissipated, and he continued to eat snacks.

Seeing that Xiao Xunbao remained invisible and didn’t come out, Yabao and Lubao didn’t waste time either, and successively went to the training ground to begin their training.

Qiao Sang heard the violent explosions outside and clearly felt that today’s training commotion was much louder than usual.

She looked in the direction of Xiao Xunbao’s invisibility with a “good luck to yourself” gaze and returned to her room.

“Xun!”

Once on the bed, just as she was about to sit cross-legged and begin Meditation, she saw Xiao Xunbao appear, her eyes teary, staring at her with a pleading look.

Qiao Sang sighed and comforted her: “Wanting to be the boss is a good thing. Haven’t you been practicing Pressure recently? It’s inevitable to imagine yourself as the boss in your mind. I can understand.”

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao was truly touched by these words, nodding vigorously with tears in her eyes.

It was precisely because she had to practice Pressure! Otherwise, even if she had a hundred guts, she wouldn’t dare to compete with Big Brother Yabao for the boss position!

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke: “You can’t go on like this.”

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Xiao Xunbao was stunned by her Yu Beast Master’s words, even forgetting to continue brewing tears.

What couldn’t she go on with?

“The so-called Pressure must cultivate a strong aura of a hegemon,” Qiao Sang said seriously. “Look at you now; where’s the slightest bit of a hegemon’s aura? To properly practice Pressure, you must have the determination and confidence to be the boss, even if your opponents are Yabao and Lubao.”

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao heard this, as if enlightened.

But the next second, she became a bit timid again.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

But she couldn’t beat Big Brother Yabao, and she couldn’t even beat Lubao herself…

As she spoke, she suddenly remembered something, floated to her Yu Beast Master’s side, and whispered a few calls like a thief.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Actually, she already had a plan for how to become the boss. The guy who played the flute had been persuaded by her. As long as the flutist played the flute and predicted the next stage of evolution for Big Brother Yabao and the others, Big Brother Yabao would think of her contribution, and he might even voluntarily give up the boss position.

…Qiao Sang was silent for a few seconds, then asked: “So, today, the reason you imagined Yabao giving up the boss position was this?”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao nodded, then showed an expression of “How about that, aren’t I smart?”

Qiao Sang slowly exhaled, rubbed her brows, and said earnestly: “Believe me, this kind of thing will absolutely not happen.”

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Hearing her Yu Beast Master’s words, Xiao Xunbao’s eyes immediately filled with tears again, looking utterly devastated.

Qiao Sang said faintly: “I don’t believe you haven’t considered this possibility.”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao’s tears receded, and she sighed.

She had thought about it, but she also felt she should think positively.

Qiao Sang said: “To practice Pressure, ultimately, your aura must be strong. You first need to feel that you are powerful. If you always think Yabao and the others are stronger than you, and that the boss position will be given to you through unrealistic imagination, your aura will be weakened by a large margin. How can you practice Pressure then?”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao hung her head in dejection.

Qiao Sang asked: “Do you dare to fight Yabao and Lubao?”

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao was startled and shook her head repeatedly.

“Then you must first dare to challenge Yabao and Lubao,” Qiao Sang expressed her opinion. “To develop a powerful aura, you absolutely cannot be timid. You don’t necessarily have to win when challenging Yabao and Lubao, but you must possess the courage to challenge.”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao was stunned at first, then suddenly enlightened.

She only felt that she was now filled with courage.

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao clenched her fists, showing a determined expression, and called out, indicating that she was going right now!

“Wait…” Qiao Sang was about to speak, but found that Xiao Xunbao had already disappeared from her sight using Space Movement.

“…”

…

“Xun!”

“Xun!”

Ten minutes later, Xiao Xunbao, completely charred and bruised, floated into the room, throwing herself into Qiao Sang’s arms, snotting and crying bitterly.

Big Brother Yabao hit her so hard!

He didn’t even know how to go easy on her!

And Lubao, she didn’t even Heal her anymore!

Qiao Sang stopped Meditation, opened her eyes, and her mouth twitched when she saw Xiao Xunbao’s appearance. Then, she remembered something, closed her eyes, and her consciousness entered the yu beast codex, quickly turning to the page about Xiao Xunbao.

[Fifth Trait: Pressure]

[Level: C (210/1000), Status (Available)]

[Description: Will create Pressure on the opponent, making them feel the aura of a hegemon.]

The data increased… Qiao Sang was delighted at this.

Since Xiao Xunbao went to the 30th District, the data for Pressure had been stagnant.

Just now, she had only had a sudden thought, feeling that those Pets who were bosses and had strong Pressure would certainly not be as timid as Xiao Xunbao. Even when facing beings stronger than themselves, they would definitely not back down, so she thought of letting Xiao Xunbao try to embolden herself and challenge Yabao and Lubao, perhaps gaining a bit of aura from it.

She hadn’t expected it to actually be effective for practicing Pressure.

Qiao Sang’s consciousness exited the yu beast codex, and she looked at Xiao Xunbao with sparkling eyes:

“Do you feel anywhere different about yourself now?”

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao burst into tears.

She felt pain all over her body now!

Qiao Sang: “…”

“Lubao!” Qiao Sang had no choice but to raise her voice and call out.

After about ten seconds, Lubao walked into the room.

“Help Xiao Xunbao with some Healing first,” Qiao Sang said.

“Ice Ai.”

Lubao glanced at Xiao Xunbao, rather reluctantly condensing energy and illuminating the gem on her forehead.

During the Healing, Qiao Sang said:

“Actually, I was the one who told Xiao Xunbao to go challenge them just now.”

The blue light dissipated, and the Healing was complete.

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao nodded repeatedly, indicating that was right, her Yu Beast Master told her to go.

Qiao Sang: “…”

“Ice Ai?”

Lubao looked over with a puzzled expression.

“Yaya?”

At this moment, Yabao also walked in, showing a similarly puzzled expression.

Clearly, with his hearing, he had already heard the previous conversation.

Qiao Sang coughed and explained:

“Xiao Xunbao has been practicing Pressure recently. Pets with Pressure are usually the boss, which is why she would imagine herself in that scenario.”

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao nodded vigorously while crying.

Qiao Sang continued: “But with her strength, she definitely can’t be the boss.”

This sentence took only 0.01 seconds to pierce Xiao Xunbao’s heart.

“However, to practice Pressure, she must work towards this goal, so I thought of letting her challenge you two, to boost her aura as much as possible,” Qiao Sang said.

“Ice Ai.”

Lubao showed an expression of “So that’s how it is.”

“Yaya…”

Yabao was thoughtful, looked at his Yu Beast Master, and showed a confused expression.

Since those with Pressure were all bosses, why didn’t he have Pressure?

Lubao silently glanced at Yabao.

This… Qiao Sang was a bit stumped.

To be honest, she had always felt that the Pressure trait was more suitable for Yabao.

But it just so happened that Xiao Xunbao was the one who awakened Pressure…

“Didi.”

Suddenly, Aodinihi’s voice sounded from the side.

Qiao Sang followed the sound and saw the originally empty wall twist, revealing Aodinihi’s figure.

“You were eavesdropping just now?” Qiao Sang said in astonishment.

“Didi.”

Aodinihi called out as he stuffed potato chips into his mouth.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao habitually translated.

This guy said he was listening openly and honestly.

Qiao Sang: “…”

Before she could speak, Aodinihi called out again.

“Didi.”

As this sound came out, Yabao instantly stared over.

Qiao Sang realized that what Aodinihi was saying was unusual and asked: “What did he say?”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao used psychic power to control a tissue from the desk to her claw, blowing her nose while translating.

He said he knew why Big Brother Yabao didn’t have Pressure.

Qiao Sang looked at Aodinihi, immediately perking up.

Yes, Aodinihi had lived for so long; he must know a lot.

“Didi.”

“Didi.”

Aodinihi swallowed his potato chips and became slightly serious.

At this moment, his posture was very much like a teacher in a classroom.

“Yaya…”

Yabao fell into contemplation after listening.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

The more Xiao Xunbao listened, the brighter her eyes became, and she stopped crying.

“Ice Ai.”

Lubao showed a thoughtful expression.

Steel Treasure, holding a rag with her wings, appeared at the doorway of the room at some point.

“What did Aodinihi say?” Qiao Sang sought a translation.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao puffed out her chest and translated with considerable pride.

She said that those who can awaken Pressure basically have the aura of a king from their bloodline inherently, and only a very few are stimulated through acquired effort.

Thinking that she naturally possessed the aura of a boss in her bloodline, Xiao Xunbao’s confidence reached an unprecedented height for a moment, wishing she could immediately find Ya… no, Lubao, for a match.

So that’s how it is. No wonder Xiao Xunbao could awaken a trait like Pressure even though she showed no signs of being a boss before… Qiao Sang’s doubts were resolved. She looked at Steel Treasure: “Is something wrong?”

Although Steel Treasure hadn’t said anything, she keenly sensed that Steel Treasure wasn’t just there to watch the show.

“Steel Slash.”

Steel Treasure nodded and called out, indicating that the human named Pilit had arrived.

Qiao Sang was startled, then immediately rushed out of the room.

Sure enough, she saw Teacher Pilit and Newdi Kaka standing in the living room.

There was no sound at all, so they must have used Space Movement to enter… Qiao Sang subconsciously analyzed why she hadn’t heard any movement just now, then said in surprise: “Teacher, you’re here!”

Pilit immediately looked at Qiao Sang, his eyes full of anticipation:

“Where’s Aodinihi?”

“In my room.” Qiao Sang pointed to the location of the room inside.

Pilit immediately showed a joyful expression.

Before coming, he was actually a bit apprehensive.

Although no one could take things out of or come out of the Ghost Ring King’s ring except for himself, Aodinihi was, after all, an Illusion Beast, and was even said to be able to see through space.

Ghost Ring King was only a General-level Pet, while Aodinihi, judging from their previous battle, had a high possibility of already reaching the Emperor-level.

Given such a large difference in levels, it wasn’t impossible for him to completely destroy the space inside the ring and actively come out.

He had already prepared for Aodinihi to be gone, but he hadn’t expected Aodinihi to still be here.

Moreover, from Qiao Sang’s words, he wasn’t inside the ring.

As his thoughts flickered, Pilit saw a Pet that looked exactly like Aodinihi come out from inside, holding potato chips.

This is… Pilit stared at the red flute in the Pet’s hand, then recalled the first time he saw Aodinihi, and looked at Qiao Sang in astonishment, asking for confirmation with his eyes.

Qiao Sang nodded: “That’s him.”

“Didi.”

Aodinihi recognized the human in front of him and called out, as a greeting.

Pilit couldn’t believe it and blurted out: “How did he get so fat?”

All the rations in the ring were eaten; how could he not get this fat… Qiao Sang couldn’t help but complain inwardly, while outwardly she said tactfully:

“Aodinihi might have just woken up from a hundred years of slumber, so he’s quite hungry.”

No matter how hungry, he couldn’t have gotten this fat in just one or two days… Pilit hesitated to speak.

Qiao Sang remembered the main topic and said:

“Aodinihi previously helped Xiao Xunbao with a prediction, so he needs some time before he can make the next prediction. During this period, he promised to stay here.”

Pilit was startled and frowned: “Don’t Pets rely on energy to use their skills? Even if Aodinihi’s prediction required all his energy, it shouldn’t take a very long time, and besides…”

Looking at Aodinihi, he didn’t seem to be lacking energy… Pilit looked at Aodinihi, not speaking the last part of his sentence.

“Didi…” (End of Chapter)
