Chapter 872: Any questions about the task? (Two-in-one)

Qiao Sang and Ya Ba used the same speechless expressions to open their eyes.

“What’s with that Rain-Avoiding Butterfly?” Mi Jiala asked.

Qiao Sang said with a complex expression:

“It followed Lu Bao.”

Mi Jiala was stunned: “Why did it follow Ice Emperor Ram?”

Because it was mesmerized by Lu Bao’s beauty… Qiao Sang organized her words: “It seems to have fallen in love with Lu Bao.”

Mi Jiala: “…”

Hate Rain silently covered its face with its wings. As a companion of Wants Sun, it felt a little ashamed to face others.

“I’ll tell its Yu Beast Master about this.” Mi Jiala was silent for a moment, then offered a solution: “You take Hate Rain with you first.”

Before Qiao Sang could answer, Hate Rain flapped its wings and flew over, stopping on her shoulder.

A Rain-Avoiding Butterfly with a range of 1.3 meters is indeed better than an umbrella… Qiao Sang tilted her head and glanced at the Rain-Avoiding Butterfly on her shoulder: “This is the only way.”

She remembered that this Rain-Avoiding Butterfly’s personality was steady, so presumably, such a thing wouldn’t happen again…

…

Above Changyu City, raindrops pattered down.

Qiao Sang, holding Ya Bao, aimlessly searched through the streets.

“Ya Ya…”

Although the rainwater didn’t fall on Ya Bao, feeling the rainy atmosphere around it gradually made it feel dispirited.

Qiao Sang thought of something, stopped, and said:

“You can use your clones to search together.”

“Ya.”

Ya Bao cried out, and then identical small Flame Qilus appeared before them, scattering in all directions.

“Ya Ya!”

After searching for about another half an hour, Ya Bao suddenly perked up, cried out, indicating it had found the target.

Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up immediately, and she quickly asked: “Where is it?”

“Ya!”

Ya Bao really wanted to jump out of its Yu Beast Master’s arms and lead the way directly, but seeing the heavy rain in front of it, it ultimately held back and pointed in a direction with its paw.

Qiao Sang followed the direction Ya Bao pointed.

After walking through wide streets for more than ten minutes, Ya Bao excitedly cried out towards the front.

“Ya!”

That’s it!

About a meter tall, light yellow fur, a pair of curled ears, it was indeed Baby Moon’s back… Qiao Sang quickly stepped forward, came to the front of the Pet, and then pretended to casually look back.

Uh, green bean eyes, why does it feel a little off…

As thoughts flickered, a girl in a white dress ran up with a yellow umbrella, holding it over the head of the green bean-eyed Pet, and said discontentedly:

“Seriously, walk slower, the color you just dyed on your body is almost fading.”

“Mian Mian…”

The green bean-eyed Pet cried out with a wronged expression.

So it was a Pet cosplay… Qiao Sang couldn’t hide her disappointment.

“Ya Ya…”

Ya Bao’s tail drooped.

At the same time, at the alley entrance two meters away, a Flame Qilu that looked exactly like Ya Bao dissipated.

“It’s okay, this Pet specifically cosplayed Baby Moon, I almost mistook it just now.” Qiao Sang noticed Ya Bao’s mood and comforted it.

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao quickly perked up again.

The person and two Pets continued to search aimlessly on the street.

After more than ten minutes, Ya Bao looked up at the heavy rain in the sky and suddenly cried out:

“Ya Ya!”

It’s going to fight Lu Bao when it gets back!

Qiao Sang: “…”

She knew this day would come sooner or later… Qiao Sang said: “Wait until this task is done, then talk about it in the next city. It rains all year here, so the battle environment is unfair to you.”

Ya Bao was already weaker than Lu Bao, and if it was still in a rainy environment, she was afraid it would lose even more miserably.

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao shook its head with determined eyes.

Only the weak complain about the environment.

Qiao Sang: “…”

No, where did you learn that phrase?

“Ya Ya…”

Seeing that its Yu Beast Master didn’t speak immediately, Ya Bao seemed to understand something, its mood dropped, and it cried out, asking if Lu Bao was much stronger than it now?

“How could that be?” Qiao Sang quickly stroked Ya Bao’s fur and tactfully said: “It’s just that Lu Bao evolved first. When you also evolve, you’ll definitely be stronger than it.”

“Ya Ya?”

Ya Bao looked up at its Yu Beast Master.

Then how can it evolve?

You’ve got me there a bit… Qiao Sang fell into deep thought for a moment.

Ya Bao’s form was new, and its evolution conditions were still unknown; currently, only its specific evolution location was known.

She also wondered if it was simply a matter of adding Point for evolution…

The Point Ya Bao had accumulated so far would at most allow it to reach the General-level mid-stage…

Should she start preparing for Ya Bao’s evolution now?

For example, finding another dream enlightenment stone or something… Qiao Sang thought, and then said deeply: “When it’s time for you to evolve, you will naturally evolve.”

“Ya Ya…”

Ya Bao looked up at the sky, a bewildered expression on its face.

Then when is it time to evolve…

As Ya Bao looked, its gaze suddenly stopped at a certain spot in the air.

“Ya Ya!”

It cried out loudly, indicating to look quickly.

Qiao Sang looked up and saw that a certain spot in the air seemed to be covered by a transparent dome, blocking the rain.

And in the center of the transparent dome, a Rain-Avoiding Butterfly about five centimeters in size was flying.

Its antennae drooped, as if it was in a bad mood.

This is Wants Sun?

“Rain-Avoiding!”

Just as Qiao Sang hesitated, the Rain-Avoiding Butterfly on her shoulder cried out loudly towards the sky.

The Rain-Avoiding Butterfly in the air looked over.

When it saw the figure below, its eyes lit up, and it flapped its wings, quickly flying to Qiao Sang’s front.

“Wants Sun?” Qiao Sang confirmed.

“Rain-Avoiding.” The Rain-Avoiding Butterfly in front of her nodded obediently.

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao, seeing the other party admit it, cried out in dissatisfaction, indicating where this guy had gone, making it all wet!

“Rain-Avoiding.”

Wants Sun showed an apologetic expression, then occasionally looked at the backpack with expectant eyes.

Hate Rain on the shoulder showed an expression of not being able to bear to look.

Qiao Sang noticed the Rain-Avoiding Butterfly’s gaze, and the corner of her mouth twitched, saying:

“Lu Bao hasn’t come back yet.”

“Rain-Avoiding?”

Wants Sun showed a puzzled expression.

Who is Lu Bao?

“It’s the Pet you followed and ran off with.” Ya Bao didn’t even need to translate; Qiao Sang understood its meaning through the Rain-Avoiding Butterfly’s expression and couldn’t help but add.

“Rain-Avoiding…”

Wants Sun, realizing that Lu Bao was its goddess, drooped its antennae in disappointment.

“Rain-Avoiding.”

Hate Rain, seeing this, cried out with a serious expression.

Wants Sun then remembered the important matter and flew to Qiao Sang’s other shoulder to settle.

Its antennae drooped, and its mood remained low.

As Qiao Sang walked, she pulled out her phone, opened a picture of Baby Moon, and handed it to Wants Sun, saying:

“If you see this Pet later, tell me.”

Wants Sun stared at the photo on the phone, silent for a moment, as if lost in thought.

Qiao Sang put away her phone.

“Rain-Avoiding!”

After about five or six seconds, Wants Sun showed an expression of “I remember now.”

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao, hearing this, perked up, quickly tugged at its Yu Beast Master’s clothes with its paw, and cried out, indicating that this guy said it had just seen it!

Really… After the previous Pet cosplay incident, Qiao Sang was much calmer and asked:

“Where?”

“Rain-Avoiding.”

Wants Sun flew ahead to lead the way.

It was still too difficult to aimlessly search for a Pet about a meter in size. This was a city after all. If Baby Moon was smart and made slight changes to its appearance like the previous Pet, it would probably be even harder to find… Should she go to the city management bureau and ask if she could check the city surveillance… No, as an ordinary Yu Beast Master, how could others let her in freely… She should search for another two days herself. If she really couldn’t find it, she would post a task to see if there were any search-type Pets that could help… Qiao Sang thought as she followed behind Wants Sun.

“Rain-Avoiding.”

She didn’t know how long it had been when she heard the Rain-Avoiding Butterfly in front cry out.

“Ya Ya.”

Ya Bao translated in a timely manner, indicating that this guy saw it right here at that time.

Qiao Sang looked up.

She saw that a Pet costume event seemed to be taking place in front of her.

Various Pets wore umbrella hats on their heads, or had a Rain-Avoiding Butterfly perched on their heads, striking poses and taking photos.

The Yu Beast Masters beside them were chatting with others who were also participating in the event.

The Pet Costume Event is different from cosplay events. Pets don’t portray characters from anime, movies, or Pets who have participated in major competitions. Instead, they simply act as Pets of other species. As long as it’s realistic enough that no one recognizes them, it’s considered a success.

After realizing where she was, Qiao Sang’s first reaction was that she had come in vain.

The previous “Baby Moon” should have been participating in an event here.

Baby Moon isn’t a rare Pet. With so many people here, not to mention whether it’s a role-play, there are probably quite a few Yu Beast Masters who have genuinely contracted a Baby Moon.

The Rain-Avoiding Butterfly most likely saw a contracted Baby Moon.

Moreover, with so many people here, wild Pets that aren’t strong are probably afraid to approach.

That being said, Qiao Sang still prepared to go in and take a look, because it’s better safe than sorry.

What if that wild Baby Moon was bold?

As Qiao Sang walked inside, someone nearby suddenly called out, “That beauty holding Flame Qilu, wait for me!”

Flame Qilu, beauty, it matched… Qiao Sang stopped.

Turning around, a girl who looked about eighteen years old walked over quickly.

Beside her was a Baby Moon.

Although Baby Moon isn’t a rare Pet, is the frequency of encountering them a bit too high? Qiao Sang sized up the Baby Moon in front of her.

“Baby Moon.”

Baby Moon showed no shyness at all, grinning.

It’s not a disguise, it’s a real Baby Moon… Qiao Sang made a judgment in her heart.

The “Baby Moon” she encountered earlier had green, beady eyes, which clearly indicated something was off, but this one had genuine big, black pupils.

“Is there something I can help you with?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Why does your Pet feel so much like a real Flame Qilu?” The girl leaned closer, carefully examining Ya Bao.

“Ya ya…”

Ya Bao’s gaze was entirely on the Baby Moon beside her.

It remembered that the one it was looking for was wild, so this one shouldn’t be it…

“It is a real Flame Qilu,” Qiao Sang said.

The girl’s eyes immediately widened, then she looked at Qiao Sang, scrutinizing her, and then she covered her mouth in surprise, exclaiming:

“You’re Qiao Sang herself?!”

“You know me?”

“Of course! I saw your Super Dormant Star Celebrity Yu Beast Master Competition on StarNet. I originally thought someone else had gotten to know Flame Qilu through StarNet like me, but I never expected to meet the real person!” The girl opened her phone camera while excitedly asking:

“Can I take a picture with you and Flame Qilu?”

She never expected that people on Blue Star would also watch the Super Dormant Star Celebrity Yu Beast Master Competition… Qiao Sang nodded:

“You can.”

Saying that, she held Ya Bao and smiled at the phone the other party held up high.

“Excuse me, just a moment,” the girl said, then excitedly called out to the Baby Moon beside her: “Baby Moon, you come too! Let’s take a picture together.”

“Baby Moon.”

Baby Moon came and stood beside her. It looked at the image displayed on the phone screen, showing a curious expression.

Qiao Sang casually asked, “Haven’t you named your Baby Moon yet?”

“I haven’t thought of one yet,” the girl said, and with a “click,” she took the photo: “This Baby Moon was just contracted by me the day before yesterday. I want to find a master to give it a good name.”

Qiao Sang’s body suddenly stiffened.

“Alright, thank you.” The girl put down her phone, still very excited: “I have a feeling you’ll be very famous in the future! No matter what competition you participate in, I’ll support you!”

Qiao Sang looked at the Baby Moon beside her and asked, “May I ask where you contracted this Baby Moon?”

The girl was momentarily stunned and said:

“It was at my house. At that time, it suddenly appeared in my backyard and was snatching food from my dad’s Qiqi Furnace. So I gave it some Energy Pill, and later it contracted with me.”

The time and the Pet matched. If it had been contracted by someone, it’s no wonder the Patrol Department couldn’t find it for a while… Qiao Sang stared thoughtfully at Baby Moon.

“Baby Moon…”

Baby Moon hid behind its Yu Beast Master.

“Is there a problem?” The girl noticed the unusual atmosphere and asked.

“It’s like this, I took on an assessment task…” Qiao Sang explained her task in detail.

The original purpose of the task was to find the wild Baby Moon to prevent it from causing chaos in society. If it really was the Baby Moon the Patrol Department was looking for, and now it was contracted, there was naturally no need to capture it anymore, and there was no harm in telling the truth.

The girl listened in a daze, then turned to look at Baby Moon:

“You came out of a Secret Realm Rift? Didn’t you tell me you escaped by taking advantage of others fighting?”

She had always thought it meant escaping from a Pet base or some private breeding institution!

“Baby Moon?”

Baby Moon showed a confused expression.

What is a Secret Realm Rift?

“It’s, uh, a crack that suddenly appears in space,” the girl explained.

“Baby Moon.”

Baby Moon nodded.

It came out of a suddenly appearing crack, then saw others fighting, and took the opportunity to escape.

The girl: “…”

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao, after listening, immediately translated and excitedly let out a cry.

This is the guy we’re looking for!

Great, we found it. I didn’t expect it to deliver itself… However, if I hadn’t asked an extra question, this task might not have been completed even when the Regional Competition starts half a year later… Who would have thought that a wild Pet would be contracted so quickly… That was close, I almost couldn’t participate in the Regional Competition… Qiao Sang waved her hand, summoning Little Qunbao and the others back to the yu beast codex, then dialed the Patrol Department’s number.

The girl did not stop her, but just looked at Baby Moon with a complicated expression.

“Baby Moon?”

Baby Moon didn’t understand why its Yu Beast Master suddenly looked at it with such an expression.

After looking for half a minute, the girl sighed and stroked Baby Moon’s head: “You have to be good from now on, okay?”

It’s well-known that wild Pets are dangerous and uncontrollable. If she had known Baby Moon came from a Secret Realm Rift, she might not have been so quick to decide to contract it.

But since she had already contracted it, she would naturally take responsibility to the end.

“Baby Moon.”

Baby Moon curved its eyes and rubbed against its Yu Beast Master’s hand that was stroking it.

Qiao Sang reported the coordinates and hung up the phone.

The next second, two people in uniform and their Pets appeared out of thin air in front of her.

Seeing this, the surrounding people all took out their phones to take pictures and watch.

Where the Patrol Department was, it meant there was excitement to be seen.

No wonder they said just reporting the coordinates was enough; it turns out they can Space Movement. This is much more efficient than calling the police… Qiao Sang thought to herself.

The Patrol Department personnel quickly verified Baby Moon’s information.

After instructing the girl to register the information as soon as possible and thanking Qiao Sang, one of the Pets beside them emitted a blue light from its eyes and disappeared from sight.

Qiao Sang seemed to think of something as she watched the scene before her, picking up her phone to check the time:

5:53 PM.

The Yu Beast Center hadn’t closed yet.

She put her phone in her pocket, put down Ya Bao, and formed hand seals.

An orange-yellow star array lit up, and Little Qunbao appeared within the star array.

“Qiao Sang, are you going to participate in the Regional Competition next?” The girl stepped forward and asked.

Qiao Sang hummed in affirmation.

“I’ll support you!” The girl said excitedly.

Qiao Sang looked at her and said sincerely, “Thank you. If it weren’t for you this time, my assessment task wouldn’t have been completed so quickly.”

The girl became a little embarrassed: “Hehe, I didn’t know either that your task would actually be connected to me.”

“I didn’t expect it either. I’m leaving now. See you if fate allows.” Qiao Sang finished speaking and looked at Little Qunbao: “Let’s go back to the third floor of the Yu Beast Center, to the place where we accepted the assessment task.”

“See you if fate allows!” The girl waved.

As soon as her voice fell, Qiao Sang and Ya Bao disappeared from their original spot.

…

Yu Beast Center.

Third floor.

Assessment Office.

The door was wide open.

A “knock knock” sounded.

The Judge looked up, very surprised to see the person who had arrived:

“Why are you back? Are there still any problems with the task?”

“No, it’s that I’ve already completed the task,” Qiao Sang said as she entered the door.

The Judge: “???”

Ah! Congratulations to the men’s singles table tennis champion! I watched some of the match tonight, otherwise I could have typed faster. I feel like my typing speed has really picked up now.
