Chapter 889: Qingfeng Yunren (two in one)

“Typhoon?!”

Then, that angry voice rang out with disbelief.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao nodded solemnly.

“You want to protect her?!”

“That’s right, Mom, I’m sticking with her!”

Qiao Sang looked at the scene before her, automatically translating the two lines in her mind.

Xiao Xunbao’s small frame appeared so tall at this moment.

How could she be worthy of Xiao Xunbao going to such lengths to contract with her? She should be the one convincing the parents…

Qiao Sang felt a surge of emotion, her eyes gradually firming.

She stepped forward to shield Xiao Xunbao, just about to say something like, “Believe me, I’ll bring it happiness,” or “Don’t look at me like this, I actually have a lot of Fairy-type resources.”

However, just as she was about to speak, Steel Treasure’s voice rang in her mind:

“Steel Sword.”

It said that it only has a guiding relationship with you, nothing else, and asked its parents not to touch you.

“Just a guiding relationship?” Qiao Sang froze for a moment, looking at Xiao Xunbao in disbelief, her eyes asking, “Didn’t we agree to a contract?”

Xiao Xunbao felt the gaze beside her, turned her head, and showed an apologetic expression.

Though she said nothing, Qiao Sang still understood her meaning:

My mom doesn’t agree, I think we should just forget about this.

“…”

“Typhoon!”

The Typhoon continued, but it was no longer as rampant, and that voice rang out in the air again.

“Xiao Xunbao.”

Xiao Xunbao nodded, then turned to Qiao Sang and Xiao Xunbao with an apologetic expression, before transforming into a breeze and disappearing from the spot.

Qiao Sang’s pupils constricted slightly.

For a moment, a series of thoughts flashed through her mind.

The first time was a stroke of luck, the second time Xiao Xunbao came looking for her on her own initiative. In this situation, there won’t be a third time. This is the last chance…

“Xiao Xunbao! Wait! I have something to say!” Qiao Sang shouted at the top of her lungs.

She wasn’t sure about next time, but this time, she had a premonition that Xiao Xunbao would reappear.

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao also shouted loudly, following her Yu Beast Master.

“Ya!”

Qunbao instinctively followed with a shout.

“Xiao Xunbao?”

As expected, Xiao Xunbao reappeared in mid-air.

“Typhoon!”

Then, that angry voice rang out.

This should be the last chance, I must seize it…

Qiao Sang took a deep breath, her eyes serious as she spoke:

“Therapeutic Sound Wave.”

Xiao Xunbao was stunned for a moment, a little caught off guard.

But she reacted quickly, opening her mouth to sing:

“Bingbing~ Bingbing~ Bing~ Bingbingbing~ Bing~”

After evolving, Xiao Xunbao’s voice had changed, becoming noticeably more enchanting than before.

Invisible sound waves rippled out, and the Typhoon gradually dissipated, turning into a gentle breeze.

The first step was successful. To have a smooth conversation, the most crucial Pet was still Xiao Xunbao’s parent. Judging from the previous situation, it would be impossible to talk calmly under normal circumstances. Since that was the case, she could only use a skill to make the other party calm…

Qiao Sang thought with a calm expression.

“Typhoon?”

Following a voice as melodious as a breeze, a Pet appeared above Xiao Xunbao.

It was about a meter tall, mostly green with wind-like patterns interspersed.

On either side of its head were fluffy, cloud-like ears, with white to cyan gradients at the tips of the white ears.

Its lower body was covered by fluffy white clouds.

Typhoon Cloud Ren, a legendary Fairy-type King-level Pet, likes to drift with the wind, its whereabouts uncertain…

Information about the Pet before her flashed through Qiao Sang’s mind.

Although Xiao Xunbao was a legendary Pet, someone had contracted with it before, so there was naturally information related to this species.

However, not much data was revealed, and almost every stage of its description included the phrase “drifts with the wind, its whereabouts uncertain,” giving the impression that they were trying to fill in gaps without more specific information.

“Steel Sword?”

Steel Treasure’s voice rang in her mind.

This guy asked what was going on.

Qiao Sang stated directly with a calm expression: “I want to contract with Xiao Xunbao.”

Typhoon Cloud Ren’s expression cracked for a moment, but then returned to calm, and it called out:

“Typhoon.”

“Steel Sword.”

Almost immediately, Steel Treasure’s voice rang in her mind.

It said no.

“I know,” Qiao Sang said with a calm expression. “I’m just stating my wish, not forcing it. I just hope you can give me a chance. If it’s really not possible, I won’t insist.”

Saying that, she looked at Xiao Xunbao: “Take out everything I asked you to prepare earlier.”

“Xiao Xunbao.”

Xiao Xunbao calmly took off her ring and pulled out one item after another that Fairy-type Pets needed and liked.

Wild Pets couldn’t recognize some processed and manufactured materials, but they could sense the energy contained within them.

Typhoon Cloud Ren watched the items appear one by one, its expression calm.

After about a minute, its expression became dazed.

Five minutes later, Typhoon Cloud Ren looked at the pile of items on the ground, which resembled a small mountain, its eyes burning with fervor.

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Xiao Xunbao curiously picked up the items Xiao Xunbao kept throwing down, examining them.

When she saw a pink crystal, she felt the energy surge within her body, and as if enchanted, she extended her paw.

“Typhoon.”

At this moment, Typhoon Cloud Ren called out with a slightly majestic voice.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao came back to her senses and retracted her paw.

The effect of Therapeutic Sound Wave should have worn off, but Typhoon Cloud Ren hadn’t left yet. It seemed that providing resources was effective…

Qiao Sang felt her inner calm disappear, and her heart began to pound faster again.

“Xun!”

Another five minutes passed, and Xiao Xunbao waved her paw, indicating that there were no more Fairy-type items to take out.

Saying that, she looked at the mountain of supplies, showing a reluctant expression.

“This is my sincerity,” Qiao Sang said seriously. “As long as you are willing to let Xiao Xunbao contract with me, I promise that it will be able to obtain even better resources in the future than these.”

“Typhoon.”

Typhoon Cloud Ren forcibly averted its gaze from the pile of items, letting out a cold snort.

Qiao Sang continued:

“Let me introduce myself. My name is Qiao Sang, I’m from Dragon Country, and I’m almost 17 years old. My brain development has reached 50%, and my dream is to participate in the Interstellar Cup.

I don’t know what Xiao Xunbao wants to do, but I believe in one thing: you all want to become stronger. I promise, I will work hard to cultivate Xiao Xunbao and help it reach the God-level.”

Legendary Pets are called legendary Pets because they mostly only exist in legends.

Some legendary Pets bestowed wisdom upon humans, taught them emotions, and gave them will, allowing Pets to understand human speech from birth.

There were also some legendary Pets that controlled time, space, and antimatter.

Some legendary Pets were even called the creators of the oceans, land, and sky.

Xiao Xunbao, as a legendary Pet, was said to be able to stir the atmosphere, allowing the four seasons to cycle endlessly.

However, because even a slight emotional fluctuation could trigger a storm, it was also called the God of Disaster.

And what was recorded and mythologized in books was its God-level form.

She believed that no Pet of Xiao Xunbao’s species didn’t want to become a God-form, admired by the world.

Typhoon Cloud Ren listened, a look of astonishment on its face.

It couldn’t help but float over, carefully scrutinizing this human who claimed to be under 17 and had already developed 50% of her brain.

“Holy crap, it’s so close to me…” Qiao Sang instinctively straightened her back.

Qunbao, Xiao Xunbao, and Steel Treasure stood by, their expressions vigilant.

“Xun…”

Xiao Xunbao secretly floated beneath Typhoon Cloud Ren and extended her paw to poke the pure white cloud.

“Xiao Xunbao.”

Seeing this, Xiao Xunbao called out with a serious expression, indicating that her mother didn’t like others touching her.

“Xun…”

Xiao Xunbao retracted her paw.

“Xiao Xunbao.”

Xiao Xunbao floated next to Xiao Xunbao and called out.

“If you like it, you can touch it.”

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao first froze, then her eyes lit up, and she excitedly poked the white cloud on Xiao Xunbao’s body.

She liked this little guy as her subordinate!

Typhoon Cloud Ren didn’t notice Xiao Xunbao touching its white cloud.

At this moment, all its attention was on the human in front of it.

Although Typhoon Cloud Ren was only a King-level Pet, each time it evolved a stage, it received some memory inheritance, allowing it to know many things.

A human under 17 whose brain had developed 50% was, in its memory, an impossible feat.

Qiao Sang’s heart pounded faster under the scrutiny, cold sweat breaking out.

After an unknown period of scrutiny, Typhoon Cloud Ren distanced itself, floating back above Xiao Xunbao, and called out:

“Typhoon.”

“Steel Sword.”

This time, Steel Treasure paused before beginning to translate.

It said that a contract was possible, but there were conditions.

“There’s a chance…” Qiao Sang’s heart skipped a beat, her eyes lit up, and she excitedly said, “Tell me! I will do my utmost to achieve it!”

“Typhoon.”

Typhoon Cloud Ren called out.

“Steel Sword.”

Steel Treasure looked at its Yu Beast Master with sympathetic eyes and translated.

It wants you to defeat the Gu Yi Bird and the Ice Snow Bird.

Qiao Sang: “?!”

Qiao Sang was momentarily stunned, unable to believe her ears.

“Defeat the Gu Yi Bird and the Ice Snow Bird? Aren’t you all on the same side?!”

“Xiao Xunbao.”

At this moment, Xiao Xunbao looked at Typhoon Cloud Ren, calling out with a sigh.

“Steel Sword.”

Steel Treasure’s voice rang in her mind.

It said you can’t do it, and if you don’t want to contract it, just refuse directly, don’t make things difficult for people.

Qiao Sang: “!!!”

“Can’t do it? Who says I can’t?!”

Qiao Sang was about to retort but then quickly cleared her head.

Calm down, Gu Yi Bird and Ice Snow Bird are both Emperor-level Pets. I really can’t do it…

In fact, let alone two Emperor-level Pets, I would have to flee if I saw even one, let alone defeat them…

It seems Typhoon Cloud Ren wants me to retreat in the face of difficulty…

Qiao Sang looked at Typhoon Cloud Ren with a complex expression, held back, but finally couldn’t help but ask:

“Are you not with the Gu Yi Bird and the Ice Snow Bird?”

“Typhoon!”

Upon hearing this, Typhoon Cloud Ren let out a rather irritable cry.

Subsequently, the Typhoon that had previously disappeared surged again.

“Xiao Xunbao.”

“Xiao Xunbao.”

Xiao Xunbao began to explain.

Their relationship was quite good originally, but later, after Gu Yi Bird and Ice Snow Bird became powerful, they didn’t pay much attention to Mom anymore. It was the same this time; Mom talked to Gu Yi Bird, but it pretended to be asleep.

Typhoon Cloud Ren remained silent beside them, which counted as acquiescence.

However, the increasingly howling Typhoon around it showed its inner turmoil.

No wonder it had its eyes closed when I saw the Gu Yi Bird earlier, and the wind next to it was so strong…

Qiao Sang felt a sudden realization.

In the world of wild Pets, the strong prey on the weak, and resources needed by Fairy-type Pets are scarce.

Perhaps before Gu Yi Bird and Ice Snow Bird evolved, Typhoon Cloud Ren was the most powerful.

Later, the two evolved into Gu Yi Bird and Ice Snow Bird, and gradually discovered that the once powerful Typhoon Cloud Ren seemed not so powerful anymore, so they became negligent, leading to the current situation…

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment, then spoke:

“Can you give me some time?”

“Typhoon?”

Typhoon Cloud Ren called out.

“How much time?”

Steel Treasure translated in her mind.

Qiao Sang held up three fingers: “Thirty years. Thirty years of prosperity, thirty years of decline. Although I can’t defeat them now, in thirty years…”

Typhoon Cloud Ren rolled its eyes, turned into a Typhoon, and disappeared from sight.

“Wait!” Qiao Sang quickly shouted.

Typhoon Cloud Ren reappeared.

Qiao Sang organized her words and said seriously: “I mean, in thirty years, I’ll have Xiao Xunbao defeat them.”

Steel Treasure looked at its Yu Beast Master with a slightly admiring gaze.

It felt its Yu Beast Master’s mind was very quick.

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Xiao Xunbao was stunned for a moment, then uncertainly extended a short toe and pointed at herself.

“That’s right, it’s you.” Without needing a translation, Qiao Sang understood Xiao Xunbao’s meaning through her actions. She said seriously, “Only if you defeat them will the Gu Yi Bird and Ice Snow Bird truly respect you all again!”

In less than two short years, she had cultivated Xiao Xunbao to the King-level. She believed that in thirty years, which was also the time of the next 16th Secret Realm opening, Xiao Xunbao could reach the Emperor-level.

The Typhoon no longer howled, but instead took on a slight swirling motion.

Typhoon Cloud Ren’s eyes grew brighter and brighter as it listened.

“Typhoon?”

It glanced at the ground full of resources, then at the human who was not yet 17, and called out with a majestic voice, asking, “How can I trust you?”

Indeed, words alone are not enough…

Qiao Sang pondered for a moment, then looked at Typhoon Cloud Ren, and said sincerely:

“I will stay in this Secret Realm for about 27 more days. During this time, you can stay by my side and observe me at any time to see if I have this ability. If you think I can’t do it, I will absolutely not pester you.”

After a pause, she added:

“All the resources on the ground will be your reward for assessing me. If I can’t do it, I won’t take them away either.”

Typhoon Cloud Ren stared at Qiao Sang, remaining silent for a moment.

The wind blew in swirls, one after another.

Xiao Xunbao knew that her mother was tempted.

“Typhoon.”

After about two or three seconds, Typhoon Cloud Ren called out, indicating agreement.

Immediately after, a gust of wind blew all the materials and items on the ground away.

“Typhoon.”

Typhoon Cloud Ren called out again, then transformed into wind and disappeared from sight.

“Xiao Xunbao.”

Xiao Xunbao gave Qiao Sang a sweet smile, then also transformed into wind and vanished.

All the materials and items drifted further and further away with the wind.

Qiao Sang was momentarily stunned.

What did that mean?

Did it just leave like that?

“Steel Sword.”

Steel Treasure looked in the direction where the materials and items were blown away and called out, indicating that it wanted her to wait there.

A legendary Pet, it shouldn’t lie, right…

Qiao Sang looked at the direction where the materials and items disappeared, feeling a bit uncertain.

If Typhoon Cloud Ren just left with Xiao Xunbao like that, wouldn’t she lose both the Pet and the money… (End of chapter)
