Chapter 839: Farewell (two in one)

Qiao Sang’s heart stirred, then she remembered that the Ji Si Dan (Gis Egg) was monopolized by a family in Bainiguo, and her heart grew cold again.

She replied, “I understand, thank you, teacher.”

No matter what, Dr. Dorarisa’s suggestion was for her own good.

Dorarisa’s eyes curved into a smile as she said, “You are my student. When you first came to me, it was because of Ice Aipalu’s emotional fluctuations. Naturally, I hope to help you on this path. Even if you go to Lanxing, you can contact me anytime with any questions about emotional energy.”

A flicker of emotion crossed Qiao Sang’s eyes, and she said seriously:

“I will.”

After chatting briefly with Dr. Dorarisa, Qiao Sang solemnly bid her farewell and went to Lingwen Academy, knocking on the door of President Li’s office.

“Come in,” a voice from inside said.

Qiao Sang pushed the door open and found President Li looking at documents on his computer.

Li Dongdong looked up, and upon seeing the person who entered, his face lit up with surprise: “You’re here! I saw the news that your Steel Slash Giant Falcon temporarily evolved through a bond again?”

As he spoke, he turned to glance at Steel Treasure beside him.

Qiao Sang smiled and hummed in acknowledgment: “I didn’t expect it to evolve through a bond at the time either.”

“Bond evolution is a mysterious thing, unlike other Pet evolutions, which have specific standards,” Li Dongdong smiled. “You’ve only been on Super Dormant Star for a year, and to make Steel Slash Giant Falcon undergo three consecutive bond evolutions in such a short time shows that your relationship has surpassed that of an ordinary Yu Beast Master and Pet.”

Hearing this, Qiao Sang and Steel Treasure instinctively exchanged glances.

Steel Treasure was the first to shyly look away.

Qiao Sang looked at Li Dongdong and smiled: “I think so too.”

“Steel Slash…”

Steel Treasure’s face was slightly red, but it was covered by a silver-white helmet, so it wasn’t visible.

Li Dongdong got up, went to a bookshelf nearby, pulled out a very thick book, and walked over to Qiao Sang, handing it to her:

“You’re going back to Lanxing soon. I don’t have much to give you, but you can read this ‘Spiritual Mark Appreciation’ when you have time. It records many rare Spiritual Mark drawing materials and methods. It’s a collector’s edition and not sold on the market.”

Qiao Sang quickly took it: “Thank you, President Li.”

She knew all too well how precious these unpurchasable books were; borrowing them from the Royal Union Dun library cost one point per day.

“You still call me President Li?” Li Dongdong raised an eyebrow.

Qiao Sang paused, then corrected herself: “Thank you, teacher.”

“That’s right,” Li Dongdong smiled. “You attended my class half a month ago and have already been registered under my name, so you are my student.”

Speaking of this, Qiao Sang felt a bit ashamed. She had finally found time to attend a Spiritual Mark class last time, but it was too profound, and she didn’t understand anything. With this level, she was still registered under a big shot like the President of Royal Union Dun Lingwen Academy.

No one would believe it if she told them.

She also didn’t know why the other party was so certain that she had talent in Spiritual Marks.

She couldn’t see it at all…

Qiao Sang reined in her thoughts, remembering the main reason for her visit: “I came to bid you farewell.”

“I know,” Li Dongdong said, then suddenly sighed: “It’s a pity that Gilbert is too rigid, otherwise you would be a student of our Royal Union Dun.”

No, everything is arranged for the best… Qiao Sang said with a sincere expression: “Even if I’m not a student of Royal Union Dun, I am still your student.”

Hearing this, Li Dongdong was somewhat moved.

If someone else had said this, he would have just listened and moved on.

But the person who said this was Qiao Sang, someone whom so many old-timers couldn’t keep. This instantly made the statement’s value skyrocket and directly pierced his heart.

“If you have any questions about Spiritual Marks in the future, just contact me,” Li Dongdong said, deeply moved, directly patting Qiao Sang’s shoulder and making a promise.

After bidding farewell to President Li, Qiao Sang went to the points exchange room.

Royal Union Dun points could be used for almost anything on campus, including exchanging for campus resources.

Generally, one could exchange items on the school’s official website, but to get the exchanged items as quickly as possible, one needed to go to a special exchange room and find the teacher in charge of such matters.

Qiao Sang had already decided on the items she wanted to exchange before coming.

She selected the items she needed one by one on the virtual screen in front of her, clicked confirm, and said:

“I’ve made my selection.”

The virtual screen rotated and moved in front of the teacher in charge.

The teacher in charge looked down:

“One bottle of Weil Elixir, one S-grade Yin Marrow Silver, confirmed?”

Qiao Sang nodded: “Confirmed.”

Weil Elixir, which was not available on the market, could be purchased directly with points at Yu Liandun University. She planned to exchange it for her mother to consume.

Her mother’s brain domain hadn’t broken through for a long time, and consuming it would likely lead to new progress.

Yin Marrow Silver was one of the materials for Xiao Xunbao to evolve to the next stage.

She had tried to purchase it when she had an unlimited card, but unfortunately, shops with such items usually had their good items pre-ordered for old customers. She waited for ten days to half a month, only to receive a phone call apologizing.

Fortunately, Yu Liandun University was not lacking in S-grade rare materials.

“Please wait,” the teacher in charge said, then pressed a few buttons on the mechanical Pet next to him.

After about five seconds, the mechanical Pet opened its mouth, revealing a bottle of Weil Elixir.

It extended its claw, took out the Weil Elixir, and placed it on the table.

Then, the teacher in charge pressed a few more buttons on the mechanical Pet.

Again, it was about five seconds.

The mechanical Pet opened its mouth and took out a black crystal.

“Here are your Weil Elixir and Yin Marrow Silver,” the teacher in charge said.

The functions of mechanical Pets felt so amazing… Qiao Sang sighed with genuine emotion, then had Xiao Xunbao put the Weil Elixir and Yin Marrow Silver into its ring and left the school.

…

Late night.

Villa.

Bedroom.

Qiao Sang was sleeping soundly in bed.

The air next to her suddenly distorted, like ripples on a lake.

Then, Aodinihi appeared in the room.

It looked at Qiao Sang on the bed, moved the red flute in its claw, but finally chose to put it down and disappeared from the room, teleporting to the living room.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao, who had just said goodbye to its younger brothers, was at the coffee table, crying with snot and tears while wiping itself with a tissue.

“Chan Chan…”

The Chan Chan Stones were anxiously circling around, not knowing how to comfort it.

“Di Di?”

Aodinihi came over, curiously calling out, asking why it was crying.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao sobbed, indicating that it would only have one younger brother from now on.

“Di Di…”

Aodinihi was a bit speechless, not understanding what there was to cry about.

Just as it was about to say something, Xiao Xunbao called out again:

“Xiao Xunbao…”

And also, I won’t be able to see you all anymore.

“Chan Chan!”

“Chan Chan!”

At these words, the Chan Chan Stones nearby also began to cry uncontrollably, weeping bitterly.

They had been staying at home and naturally knew that the human who hired them was about to leave.

“Di Di.”

Aodinihi fell silent, then it called out, indicating that separation was normal.

It had lived for too, too long. Although it would fall into a long slumber every once in a while, even just counting its waking hours, it had lived for a very long time.

It had met too many people and Pets.

Some recognized it, and some didn’t.

Gathering, parting, it was always like this.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao looked at Aodinihi, who suddenly seemed to become profound, and couldn’t help but stop crying, showing a curious expression, and called out, asking if it wasn’t sad.

“Di Di.”

Aodinihi returned to its usual expression, picked up the potato chips from the coffee table, opened them, and called out, indicating that it used to be sad, but not anymore.

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Xiao Xunbao remained curious.

Even if we leave, you won’t be sad?

“Di Di.”

Aodinihi shook its head.

Not sad.

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Xiao Xunbao pointed at the potato chips in its claw.

But if we leave, you won’t have these things to eat.

Aodinihi: “…”

“Di Di,” Aodinihi looked at Xiao Xunbao.

See, you’re not sad now either.

Xiao Xunbao paused, then remembered its younger brothers again, and tears welled up once more.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

“Chan Chan!”

“Chan Chan!”

The Chan Chan Stones cried along.

Aodinihi: “…”

…

The next day.

5:30 PM.

Yu Liandun University.

All classes ended, and teachers walked out of the classrooms with their textbooks.

Students excitedly discussed where they would travel and adventure during the holiday.

“Qiao Sang, are you going back to Lanxing?” Dorothy asked with a reluctant expression.

The classroom immediately fell silent.

Everyone present was a Yu Beast Master, with excellent hearing.

Almost everyone pricked up their ears.

Qiao Sang hummed: “I’m going back tomorrow.”

The atmosphere in the classroom became incredibly silent for a moment.

In college, everyone’s schedule was actually very full, with their own things to do. Not to mention classmates, even with roommates, they weren’t particularly close.

But Qiao Sang was a bit different. From the beginning of the semester until now, she had given too many people miracles and shock, and she was already the soul of the class.

With her gone, it felt like something was missing from the class.

At this moment, someone, no one knew who, said: “When you go back, remember not to forget us!”

At these words, the classmates in the class became lively again:

“Yeah, pop up in the group chat once in a while!”

“I plan to go to Lanxing someday, and I’ll come find you to play!”

“I’ll be waiting for you to participate in the Interstellar Cup!”

Everyone… Qiao Sang was deeply moved.

“Qiao Shen, you’re leaving, and your points will be useless. Do you have any left? Can you give them to me!” This voice instantly broke the warm atmosphere.

“If you’re giving them away, give them to me!” Dorothy shouted.

“Isn’t getting Steel Slash Giant Falcon’s feathers enough for you!” the classmate who just spoke retorted.

Dorothy’s face was flushed.

The classmates in the class burst into laughter one after another.

Qiao Sang also couldn’t help but laugh.

Once most of the classmates had left, Qiao Sang didn’t have Xiao Xunbao perform Space Movement as usual, but instead walked out of the classroom side by side with Dorothy.

“Will you come back in the future?” Dorothy asked.

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said:

“Perhaps.”

Dorothy sighed: “Without you, I’ll lose a huge amount of points income next semester.”

Qiao Sang glanced at her: “Actually, I haven’t spent all my points yet. I can transfer them to you.”

Dorothy’s eyes lit up: “Really?!”

“Really,” Qiao Sang nodded.

“I love you to death!” Dorothy pounced on her.

Qiao Sang pushed her away in disgust.

“How many points?” Dorothy asked excitedly.

“One point,” Qiao Sang said.

How could she not spend all of such important points? It was just that Royal Union Dun didn’t have any items that could be exchanged for 1 point, so she hadn’t spent it.

Dorothy was silent for a moment, then excitedly pulled out her phone: “One point is fine too, transfer it to me quickly!”

Qiao Sang took out her phone and immediately transferred it. After doing all this, she took out an invitation letter from her backpack and handed it over.

Dorothy was stunned: “What’s this?”

“VIP invitation for the semi-finals of the 126th Pet Arena Championship. I don’t have time to go, so I’m giving it to you.”

Dorothy was silent for a long time, then pounced on her again.

Just as Qiao Sang was about to push her away again, Dorothy whispered: “I won’t forget you, and you shouldn’t forget me either.”

Qiao Sang paused, letting herself be hugged, and chuckled softly:

“I won’t.”

…

10:30 PM.

Villa.

After organizing almost all her belongings, Qiao Sang came to the living room, sat next to Aodinihi, and slowly said:

“We’re leaving tomorrow.”

“Di Di.”

Aodinihi nodded while eating potato chips.

It knew.

“Can you play the flute now?” Qiao Sang finally couldn’t help but ask.

“Di Di.”

Aodinihi paused, then stopped pretending and called out, indicating that it wanted to eat for one more night.

Qiao Sang: “…”

“Alright,” Qiao Sang took a deep breath, got up, and left.

Aodinihi continued to eat potato chips.

A few minutes later, Qiao Sang came back with a pile of potato chips, placed them in front of it, and said:

“These are all for you, and there are some more in the first room upstairs. It should be enough for you to eat for a while. I’ve rented the house until the end of this month, and someone will come to collect it then. You can stay here during this period, and no one will disturb you.”

“Di Di.”

Aodinihi glanced at the snacks in front of it and calmly called out, indicating that it understood.

I hope Aodinihi keeps its word… Qiao Sang sighed and turned to leave.

Aodinihi stared at the snacks on the table, no longer eating the potato chips in its hand.

…

3:00 AM.

All was silent.

Aodinihi first appeared in Pilit’s room, then in Liu Yao’s room, and finally in Qiao Sang’s room.

Seeing that everyone was sound asleep, it teleported to the living room and took out its red flute.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao, who was typing on the computer to bid farewell to its teammates, saw Aodinihi’s action and showed an excited expression.

You’re finally going to play the flute!

Aodinihi glanced at it, didn’t reply, but placed the flute to its mouth.

Suddenly, a melodious flute sound rang out.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Sleepiness washed over Xiao Xunbao, and it collapsed onto the computer with a “thud.”

In the corner, the Chan Chan Stones, who had been sighing, also fell into a deep sleep.

The flute sound then changed, switching to a different tune.

Invisible sound waves spread out.

At this moment, everyone and every Pet in the villa began to dream.

Qiao Sang, Liu Yao, Pilit, Ya Bao, Xiao Xunbao, Lu Bao, Steel Treasure, Tian Xian Bat, Fa Miao E, Chan Chan Stones…

“Di Di…”

After playing for nearly five minutes, Aodinihi put down the flute, yawned, and its entire body had thinned out.

No one knew that the price Aodinihi paid for playing the flute that could accurately predict was its waking time.

The more it predicted, the shorter its waking time.

No one also knew that it could actually make predictions for humans too.

“Di Di…”

Aodinihi took one last look at Xiao Xunbao, turned, and stepped into the distorted space.

It was like water ruffled by the wind.

Soon, the space returned to calm.

Everything became quiet. (End of this chapter)
