Chapter 894: How about calling you Qingbao? (Two in one)

Wind Transformation, S-rank? Or MAX?!

After the initial shock, Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up.

The legendary Pet was truly legendary; just the potential for its exclusive characteristic to reach S-rank in the Beginner stage made it no wonder its racial limit could reach God-level.

Qiao Sang took a deep breath, suppressing her excitement.

The description of Qingqingni stated that she liked to float around on the wind, able to pass through even the smallest gaps like wind.

Perhaps all Qingqingni were born with their exclusive characteristic already at max level.

After all, she was the darling of the wind.

Calm down, Qingqingni is a legendary Pet, so an S-rank characteristic is very reasonable… Qiao Sang’s gaze shifted downwards.

A-rank Charming Body…

Another high-level characteristic. I remember that the Charming Body of a typical Fairy-type Pet gives a 30% chance for an opposite-sex Pet using a contact skill to become infatuated.

70%, that’s a very high chance.

The problem is that this characteristic requires the Pet to be attacked by a contact skill. If it goes wrong, the opponent might be infatuated, but they could also be directly knocked out by that contact skill.

It’s the same premise as Xiao Xunbao’s Curse Body and Curse Body—they both need to be attacked first.

The defense of Fairy-type Pets isn’t very good, so it’s better to try not to let Qingqingni get attacked… Qiao Sang’s thoughts raced, and she continued to look down.

When her gaze fell on the next characteristic, she froze, somewhat doubting if she had misread it.

She remembered the book saying that Pets with Mischievous Heart generally had a mischievous streak in their personality.

But Qingqingni’s personality was so well-behaved, how could she be mischievous?

This characteristic would be much more reasonable if Xiao Xunbao awakened it…

However, characteristics are not absolute, and deviations are possible…

Qiao Sang’s thoughts returned to normal.

Pets with Mischievous Heart can use status moves first, but they are ineffective against Dark-type moves.

Status moves usually do not cause direct damage but affect the battle by changing the environment, status, or conditions.

Lu Bao’s Therapeutic Sound Wave, Rain Prayer, Aurora Veil, Hail, and Xiao Xunbao’s Substitute, as well as Steel Treasure’s Feather Rest, are all considered status moves.

Under normal circumstances, the speed at which a Pet uses a skill depends on its energy condensation speed. I don’t know how this characteristic manages to make it faster…

If the opponent is three or four levels higher than the Pet with this skill, can it still be cast faster than them?

Do not trouble yourself with things you cannot understand. Qiao Sang immediately decided to ask Teacher Mi Jiala later.

With an honorary mentor from the Imperial Beast Academy by her side, there was no need to waste brain cells on everything by herself.

Qiao Sang looked at the skill section.

Fairy Wind, a Fairy-type high-level skill, whips up a Fairy Wind to attack the target. The difference from Flying-type skills containing wind elements like Typhoon is that it is filled with Fairy energy.

The level is Beginner, and the data still shows 1. It seems Qingqingni hasn’t used this move yet…

The next skill was Charm.

Hmm?

Charm?!

Qiao Sang’s eyes instantly lit up when she saw this skill.

To be honest, she had been interested in this skill for a long time, and she didn’t expect the contracted Qingqingni to have it.

Coincidentally, the books about legendary Pets mostly described how powerful they were and the legendary deeds that changed the world.

In reality, information about legendary Pets is very scarce, let alone how to cultivate them or how to determine their gender.

Of course, a very few legendary Pets are very easy to distinguish by gender, because their male and female God-level forms are not consistent.

Qingqingni’s God-level forms for both genders are consistent.

Since the books don’t record how to distinguish, then use the Charm skill to confirm.

Qiao Sang’s mood brightened even more as she continued to look down.

Mist Field, a Fairy-type high-level skill. After this skill is cast, within a certain period, Pets within the Mist Field range are immune to abnormal statuses, and Dragon-type skill damage is halved.

Goodness, this move is simply too suitable for team battles… Qiao Sang couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, then she thought of something and pondered for a moment.

Mist Field is also a status move. When they return to the Yu Beast Center, she can have Qingqingni try it with Lu Bao, Xiao Xunbao, or Steel Treasure to see how to cast it first…

As she thought, she looked at the last skill.

Favorable Wind.

A Flying-type high-level skill. Casting this skill can whip up a fierce whirlwind, increasing the speed of all team members within a certain period.

Mist Field, Favorable Wind, Mischievous Heart… Is Qingqingni too overqualified for a solo battle…

Thinking of this, Qiao Sang couldn’t help but shake her head, quickly shaking off the thought.

What was she thinking? This was a legendary Pet, a being that could evolve into a God-level and become a God of Disaster in the future. It was only at the Beginner stage now, yet it already had one S-rank characteristic, two A-rank characteristics, and three high-level skills. How could it not be suitable for a solo battle? At most, it just hasn’t fully grown yet, and its current skills are more suitable for team battles.

Qiao Sang gathered her thoughts, her consciousness returning to reality.

The first thing she saw was Qingqingni looking at the city below, covered in neon lights, while holding a cup of milk and drinking it.

Her heart instantly softened, and she unconsciously lowered her voice and said:

“How about I call you Qingbao from now on?”

“Qingqing~”

Qingqingni looked over and smiled sweetly.

It liked this name.

“As long as you like it,” Qiao Sang said with a smile.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao heard its Yu Beast Master’s words, floated next to Qingqingni, and happily called out.

It was Xiao Xunbao, and from now on, it could just call it boss.

Before Qingqingni could speak, Xiao Xunbao felt two death glares.

Xiao Xunbao’s body suddenly stiffened.

Too happy, I forgot about Brother Ya Bao and Lu Bao…

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao quickly rubbed the back of its head, showing an “I was joking” expression.

Just call it Xiao Xunbao.

“Qingqing.”

Qingqingni nodded.

Xiao Xunbao sighed.

It seemed that developing a second subordinate was not that easy.

…

Yu Beast Center.

Qiao Sang opened a room, had Xiao Xunbao charge its phone, then saw it was only past 8 PM, so she went to Teacher Mi Jiala’s room and knocked on the door.

No one responded.

“Qingqing?”

Qingqingni had transformed into wind nearby and had not materialized.

A gentle breeze blew, accompanied by its voice.

Are you looking for another human?

Qiao Sang hummed: “The person living here is my teacher. I’m currently training outside with her. I want her to meet you.”

“Qingqing.”

Upon hearing this, Qingqingni materialized, smoothed the clouds below it, and assumed a proper posture.

So well-behaved… Qiao Sang sighed inwardly, then knocked on the door again, still with no response.

She turned her head and said:

“It seems she’s not here. It’s okay, I’ll give her a call.”

“Qingqing.”

Qingqingni nodded, then transformed back into wind and disappeared from its spot.

Qiao Sang returned to the room, picked up Xiao Xunbao’s phone, recalled briefly, and dialed a set of numbers from memory.

Just as she was about to dial, she suddenly remembered something:

Xiao Xunbao’s phone didn’t have a SIM card…

Qiao Sang silently put down the phone.

The business office was already closed at this hour, so she would have to wait until tomorrow to get a new SIM card.

Even in the Yu Beast world, not having a phone was still so inconvenient…

“Xiao Xunbao?”

At this moment, Xiao Xunbao called out, asking the question that had puzzled it for a long time.

Why couldn’t its phone make calls?

“Because there’s no SIM card,” Qiao Sang replied.

“Xiao Xunbao?” Xiao Xunbao asked again.

What is a SIM card?

“It’s a real-name card. Put it in your phone, and you can make calls,” Qiao Sang explained.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao showed an expression of sudden understanding, then floated over and rubbed its Yu Beast Master’s head, looking ingratiating.

Could it get a phone card and put it in?

Qiao Sang looked at it amusedly and mercilessly refused:

“No.”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao wilted.

“Qingqing?”

Qingqingni looked at Xiao Xunbao, then at its Yu Beast Master, showing a puzzled expression.

Why not?

Xiao Xunbao’s eyes instantly lit up, gazing intently at its future subordinate, then at its Yu Beast Master, showing a wronged expression.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Yeah, why not?

Qiao Sang: “…”

Qiao Sang looked at Xiao Xunbao, communicating with her eyes: Are you sure you want me to say it?

Xiao Xunbao understood its Yu Beast Master’s meaning and responded with its eyes: Say it, say it.

“Because you’re too lazy,” Qiao Sang said bluntly: “You always slack off during training. If all the phone’s functions worked normally, I’m afraid you’d have even less interest in training.”

She paused, then added: “If you play with your phone, I’m afraid Steel Treasure will surpass you in a while.”

At these words, Xiao Xunbao’s heart was instantly pierced by an arrow.

Its subordinate surpassing it?

Impossible!

This was absolutely impossible!

“Steel Sword…”

Steel Treasure was quietly training Wing Blade nearby.

There was no time to train in the Secret Realm, so it naturally seized the opportunity to practice upon returning.

“Qingqing…”

Upon hearing this, Qingqingni looked at Xiao Xunbao, showing an expression of “So you’re that lazy.”

The second arrow struck its heart.

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao let out a loud cry.

Who said it was lazy?!

It immediately pulled out the ants it had collected during this period from its ring and began training Decline Luck Curse.

If its impression on the fifth one was lazy, how could it still be its boss in the future?!

Qingbao could actually give Xiao Xunbao such motivation… Qiao Sang felt it was an unexpected surprise.

Since she couldn’t contact Teacher Mi Jiala now, she could first go and check Qingbao’s skills.

Thinking of this, Qiao Sang looked at Qingqingni and asked:

“Are you sleepy?”

“Qingqing.”

Qingqingni shook its head.

Qiao Sang stood up: “Then let’s go to the training ground to see your skills first.”

“Qingqing?”

Qingqingni called out, showing a puzzled expression.

Can’t we just look here?

Qiao Sang smiled: “Of course, for skills like your Fairy Wind and Favorable Wind, if you cast them in the room, what would happen to the things in this room?”

“Qingqing?”

Qingqingni showed a puzzled expression again.

How did you know it had these two skills?

Qiao Sang: “…”

Why did she see Xiao Xunbao’s shadow in Qingbao?

An illusion, this must be an illusion…

It must be because Qingqingni has always stayed in the Secret Realm and is curious about everything outside.

That’s right, it must be like this… Qiao Sang comforted herself inwardly, then said seriously: “Because we are contracted, I know everything about you.”

“Qingqing.”

Qingqingni showed an “I see” expression, then called out.

It still couldn’t cast Fairy Wind because its total energy wasn’t enough for even one cast. Favorable Wind could be used, and it could control its size, so it could be cast here.

After speaking, it opened its mouth.

Instantly, a very small-scale whirlwind blew in the room, and the curtains swayed slightly.

This wind is Favorable Wind? The high-level skill Favorable Wind? Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, then her consciousness entered the yu beast codex, and sure enough, she found that the data behind Favorable Wind had changed from 443 to 444.

To be able to control a high-level skill to this extent, and it’s only at the Mastered level… Or is it that Qingqingni’s race has an extremely high talent in controlling wind… Qiao Sang opened her eyes with surprise and joy, her consciousness returning to reality.

Anyway, it’s a good thing that Qingbao can control Favorable Wind to this extent.

Then she thought of something, her eyes lit up, and she eagerly said:

“Quickly cast Charm for me to see.”

She paused, then added with an expectant look: “Just cast it on me.”

She remembered that the effect of Charm only distinguished by gender, not by race.

Honestly, she really wanted to see if she would fall for it.

“Qingqing~”

Qingqingni nodded, then closed one eye, sweetly called out, and threw a flirtatious glance.

At the same time, a pink heart-shaped object appeared out of thin air and shot towards her.

So, so cute… Qiao Sang instantly felt her heart struck.

However, why did this feeling resemble simply being charmed by cuteness, just like when Qingbao held her hand earlier…

Qiao Sang calmed down a little.

Logically, a charmed target should have their mind temporarily clouded and be unable to think. Since she could still think, it shouldn’t be Charm…

So… Qiao Sang glanced at Ya Bao, who was meditating nearby, and Xiao Xunbao, who was casting Decline Luck Curse on ants, and immediately made a decision:

“Cast Charm on Xiao Xunbao again.”

Ya Bao had already sent out a hundred clones to train when she first entered the room. If it were charmed and lost control, those clones would probably disappear, and she would have to send out clones to train again, which would be troublesome.

Compared to that, Xiao Xunbao was more suitable.

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Xiao Xunbao heard its name, the purple light in its eyes dissipated, and it looked up with a confused expression.

“Qingqing~”

The next second, it met Qingqingni’s flirtatious gaze.

The pink heart quickly struck and disappeared.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao’s eyes instantly filled with hearts.

However, it then shook its head, the hearts disappeared, and its eyes became clear again.

It seems Qingbao is female… Xiao Xunbao encountered this move for the first time and was unprepared, so it fell for it. However, in a battle, both sides’ attention would be highly focused, and it would be almost impossible for a Beginner Pet’s Mastered skill to hit a General-level Pet… Qiao Sang thought of this and said:

“Xiao Xunbao, you should set aside some time to practice Charm with Qingbao and also increase your resistance to Charm.”

Although Charm is only a mid-level skill, it is indeed effective. It’s not impossible to encounter high-level Fairy-type Pets with high Charm proficiency in future competitions.

It’s better to prepare for this move as early as possible. (End of chapter)
