Chapter 917: I knew it would be like this (two in one)

Lin Jianyi was stunned by the scene before him, and an indescribable sadness immediately welled up in his heart.

“It turns out you can be so coquettish, you wouldn’t even let me kiss you before.”

“Hello, you must be Flame Qilu’s Yu Beast Master.” Lin Jianyi took a deep breath, adjusted his mindset, and stepped forward to greet her.

Qiao Sang hummed in response.

“Your Flame Qilu cooperated very well in this competition,” Lin Jianyi said.

Qiao Sang looked him over, curious:

“What did you say to it on the first night? It didn’t sleep for two nights.”

The giant virtual screen had shown the scene of the opponent being controlled to sleep by Ya Bao’s psychic power. At that time, she was sure Ya Bao wanted to sleep, but then it was a panoramic view, only showing the man getting up and talking, without hearing any sound. After that, Ya Bao didn’t express any desire to sleep.

It was clear that the conversation had a miraculous effect.

Lin Jianyi was startled and recalled seriously: “Let me think…”

Although his main job was a prop master, and his level as a Yu Beast Master was not high, he had still experienced several feedbacks. He recalled what happened two days ago with a little thought.

However, it was mainly Ya Bao directly controlling him to close his eyes and lie down that left too deep an impression on him.

“I just said we couldn’t rest…” Lin Jianyi repeated what he had said at the time.

After listening, Qiao Sang looked down at Ya Bao, feeling a sudden surge of emotion.

It turned out that even if it wasn’t for the sake of becoming stronger, Ya Bao could now restrain its desire to sleep.

“Oh, by the way, it’s best if you leave through the back door of the stadium later,” Lin Jianyi suddenly remembered something and reminded her in a low voice.

“Why?” Qiao Sang was puzzled.

Lin Jianyi said with a complex expression: “I’ve been on site and heard many people discussing that they think you are Qingqing Ni’s Beastmaster and want to find you.”

Sure enough, as soon as Ya Bao appeared, my identity was recognized… Qiao Sang was not particularly surprised.

She looked at the champion who was still in the middle of the award ceremony and said:

“I still have things to do, I can’t leave.”

Even if I leave, I won’t go through the back door. After all, I’m a B-rank big shot now. How embarrassing would it be to leave like I’m escaping through the back door? Wouldn’t it be better to just let Xiao Xunbao Space Movement… Qiao Sang didn’t say this aloud.

She didn’t refute! She actually didn’t refute that she wasn’t Qingqing Ni’s Beastmaster… Lin Jianyi had a guess in his heart and internally exclaimed, “Holy crap.”

Could she really be Qingqing Ni’s Beastmaster?!

She looks even younger than him, yet she actually contracted a legendary Pet?!

Lin Jianyi really wanted to ask directly, but he felt it would be too abrupt.

He followed Qiao Sang’s gaze, and his heart stirred. With the intention of getting closer, he asked:

“Why are you staring at Teacher Wang? Do you want the props he refined?”

“Teacher Wang?” Qiao Sang looked at him.

“Wang Shang, Teacher Wang,” Lin Jianyi introduced, “He is a teacher at Dragon Country Qing Teng University’s Prop Academy.”

Wang Shang, the champion of this year’s Prop Refinement Competition.

Dragon Country Qing Teng University, the sixth-ranked Top Universities in the country… So he’s a teacher from a Top Universities. No wonder his prop refining skills are so high… Qiao Sang thought to herself.

He didn’t know if he was deliberately increasing the difficulty for himself, but Wang Shang chose a mid-level little fire duck as his Pet. Its control over fire-type skills was only average. Whether it was dissolving materials or refining materials, its speed was much slower than other fire-type Pets.

During this time, the little fire duck even made a mistake once, refining one of the materials to the point of being scrapped.

But even so, Wang Shang still completed the prop refinement and successfully won the championship.

Lin Jianyi lowered his voice and added:

“If you want him to refine props, I can recommend you.”

Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up at the words:

“You know him?”

“I’m his student,” Lin Jianyi said with a rather proud tone.

“That’s great!” Qiao Sang immediately became enthusiastic: “Then please help me introduce him.”

“No problem,” Lin Jianyi assured her.

With this layer of introduction, he felt that he could now ask some questions. So he leaned over, lowered his voice, and asked like a thief:

“Are you the mysterious Yu Beast Master who is rumored online to have contracted Qingqing Ni?”

Qiao Sang did not deny it: “If no one else has also recently contracted Qingqing Ni.”

Ah! It really is you! Lin Jianyi asked with a slightly excited expression:

“Can you let me see Qingqing Ni later? I’ve never seen a legendary Pet with my own eyes.”

A gust of wind blew past his cheek.

Qiao Sang looked at the area near his cheek and said with a smile: “Of course.”

Lin Jianyi’s eyes suddenly lit up. He was excited and thrilled, feeling that even if he had won this championship, he might not have been this happy.

Who would have thought that he originally went for Yan Lexu, but ended up choosing Flame Qilu from the Yuhua region.

Not only did he not make any mistakes during the prop refining, but through it, he also got to meet Qingqing Ni’s Beastmaster!

“By the way, how did you contract Qingqing Ni? They all say Qingqing Ni can Wind Transformation, and you can’t even see it even when it’s right in front of you.” Lin Jianyi began to ask excitedly.

You’re right, it’s been in front of you several times and you didn’t notice… Qiao Sang answered some of his questions with a smile.

In the casual chat, the award ceremony and lottery draw all ended.

Qiao Sang was not chosen as a lucky audience member.

Lin Jianyi saw this and said generously:

“It’s okay if you don’t win, this prop of mine is for you.”

Saying that, he took out a helmet-shaped prop from a bag.

This prop had been tested on the field and could help Pets that were hypnotized or Charm to regain consciousness in a short period of time.

“No need, no need,” Qiao Sang refused.

The competition she was about to participate in prohibited the use of props, so this prop was useless to her.

Lin Jianyi was about to speak, but at this moment, he saw someone walking towards them. He immediately put away the prop and became serious:

“Teacher.”

Qiao Sang turned her head and saw Wang Shang approaching.

“Teacher Wang,” she greeted him.

Wang Shang looked at the sleeping Ya Bao and asked kindly:

“You know me?”

Qiao Sang said without blushing or skipping a beat: “Of course, a teacher from Dragon Country Qing Teng University, and you just won the championship. It’s hard not to know you.”

Wang Shang was pleased by the flattery and smiled even more amiably.

To be honest, as a teacher at the sixth-ranked Top Universities in the country, he often heard some flattery, but the girl’s Pet had that rumored Flame Qilu, and she was very likely Qingqing Ni’s Beastmaster.

Being praised face-to-face by such a person felt different.

“Teacher, she wants you to refine some props,” Lin Jianyi did not forget his previous promise.

“Oh?” Wang Shang asked with a smile: “What kind of prop do you want to refine?”

“I don’t want to refine props,” Qiao Sang said, “I want to exchange for some Fire Refining Fruit.”

Wang Shang’s smile disappeared.

Lin Jianyi looked over with a surprised expression.

Exchange for Fire Refining Fruit?

Buddy, you didn’t say that!

“Let’s find a quiet place to talk first.” Wang Shang looked at the audience whose gazes were constantly gathering there and did not immediately refuse.

…

Restaurant, private room.

“You want Fire Refining Fruit?” Wang Shang asked.

Qiao Sang hummed: “I want to use it for my Flame Qilu.”

“What do you want to exchange for it?” Wang Shang immediately followed up.

Qiao Sang nodded towards the empty air next to her.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao appeared, took off its ring, and began to pull out props and materials collected from Super Dormant Star one by one.

At that time, she had an unlimited card, and to avoid wasting some space in the ring, she only bought expensive things.

Moreover, anything, once it reaches another planet, its value will double.

The value of everything on this table was self-evident.

“These are all things I brought from Super Dormant Star,” Qiao Sang said, “You can pick ten items from here, this is my sincerity.”

Things from Super Dormant Star… Wang Shang, who had been sitting casually, looked at some never-before-seen props and materials in front of him, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

As a prop master, in addition to manual ability, what is most needed are some never-before-seen props and materials for research to further oneself in all aspects.

Although he was a teacher at Dragon Country Qing Teng University, he had never owned so many alien props and materials, not even him.

No way, is she that rich… Lin Jianyi stared at the table full of materials and props, unable to tear his eyes away for a moment.

Wang Shang’s eyes flickered, and he was struggling internally.

To be honest, his purpose for participating in this Prop Refinement Competition was for this Fire Refining Fruit.

Logically speaking, he should have refused directly, but the other party might be Qingqing Ni’s Beastmaster, and this guess was confirmed by his student on the way to the restaurant.

He originally thought of finding a casual reason to politely refuse, but he never expected the other party to be able to produce so many props and materials he had never seen before.

In a word, the other party gave too much…

But even so, Wang Shang was still in a state of fierce internal ideological struggle and did not immediately agree.

“Qingqing?”

At this moment, Qing Bao appeared, showing a puzzled expression and calling out, as if asking if the things were too few?

“!!!”

Visual impact!

Strong visual impact!

Qing Bao’s sudden appearance made Wang Shang and Lin Jianyi instantly widen their eyes. Shock and amazement were written on their faces, and they forgot to think.

“Qingqing?”

Qing Bao floated in front of Wang Shang, extending its paw and shaking it.

So, so close… Wang Shang’s heart rate suddenly soared. He stared blankly at the approaching Qing Bao.

Compared to Wang Shang, who was in close contact with Qing Bao, Lin Jianyi was obviously better off and was the first to regain his senses.

However, the Pet in front of him clearly looked like the legendary Qingqing Ni, but he still confirmed somewhat cautiously:

“Qingqing Ni?”

“Qingqing~”

Qing Bao looked at him, called out sweetly, and nodded.

Holy crap, so cute… Lin Jianyi was once again hard-controlled.

Qiao Sang looked at Qing Bao with a complex expression.

To be honest, she felt that Qing Bao knew that people in the hollow region had no resistance to it, which was why it appeared at this critical moment…

“What did it just say?” Wang Shang finally regained his composure.

Qiao Sang translated: “It asked if you thought there were too few things?”

After a pause, she added without changing her expression: “Qing Bao said it thinks there are already a lot.”

“Qingqing.”

Qing Bao seemed unaware that it hadn’t said the latter half of the sentence, nodding repeatedly.

That’s right, that’s right.

“Not few, not few,” Wang Shang quickly said.

After speaking, he began to hesitate:

“It’s just…”

“Qingqing…”

Before he finished speaking, Qing Bao showed a dejected expression, as if asking, “Can’t we exchange?”

Even if Wang Shang didn’t understand what Qingqing Ni was saying, he understood that it was sad now.

Suddenly, his original thoughts stopped abruptly, and he changed his words without even thinking:

“Exchange! I’ll pick ten items right now!”

“Qingqing!”

Qing Bao’s eyes lit up, showing a surprised expression.

Wang Shang was satisfied, and suddenly felt that everything was worth it.

“Teacher, some materials and props may be needed by Fairy-type Pets,” Lin Jianyi said pointedly.

“I know,” Wang Shang understood instantly, “I don’t need Fairy-type things.”

People from the hollow region… Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched. She really wanted to complain, but then she thought that she was the beneficiary, so she ultimately held it back.

…

Yu Beast Center.

Accommodation area.

Room 901.

“Ya Ya…”

Ya Bao opened its eyes on the bed.

What came into view was a red fruit covered with flame patterns.

“The Fire Refining Fruit has been exchanged for,” Qiao Sang said, holding the Fire Refining Fruit in front of Ya Bao, and asked with a smile: “Do you want to eat it now or later?”

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao’s eyes lit up, and it instantly woke up, taking a bite of the Fire Refining Fruit.

It wanted to eat it now!

Qiao Sang let go of her hand and watched Ya Bao happily eating the Fire Refining Fruit, her eyes full of smiles. Then she remembered something and instructed:

“After eating the Fire Refining Fruit, you’ll feel energy boiling in your body for a while. This is normal. During the energy boiling, don’t use skills, don’t train. Just rest well and digest it. It should be absorbed in about a week.”

The Fire Refining Fruit doesn’t immediately raise a fire-type Pet by a small realm after consumption. It requires time to digest, and there are precautions during this period, such as not being able to use energy casually.

“Ya Ya…”

Ya Bao was stunned for a moment, then continued to eat the Fire Refining Fruit in large mouthfuls, nodding to indicate understanding.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao floated over, looking at Big Brother Ya Bao eating the Fire Refining Fruit, showing an envious expression.

Training every day was too tiring. When could it also eat something and break through a small realm…

Qiao Sang looked at it and said with a smile: “If we have a chance to encounter it, I’ll try my best to get it for you.”

Xiao Xunbao’s next stage of evolution was also known. Now, it was just missing the last evolution material. Even if it consumed a heaven and earth treasure that could greatly increase energy, there was no need to worry like Ya Bao and Steel Treasure.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao happily floated over and rubbed against its Yu Beast Master’s cheek.

Qiao Sang suddenly remembered something and got up, saying:

“I’ll go tell Teacher first. You two just wait for me here.”

Earlier, Ya Bao had been sleeping. She had carried Ya Bao to submit the task and returned to the room, but she had forgotten to tell Teacher Mi Jiala that she had completed the task.

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao quickly swallowed the remaining Fire Refining Fruit, jumped off the bed, and called out, indicating that it also wanted to go.

“Alright,” Qiao Sang picked up Ya Bao and went to Room 912.

She knocked on the door.

With just one knock, the door opened.

Mi Jiala was not surprised to see Qiao Sang at the door and directly asked: “Task completed?”

Qiao Sang hummed in response.

Mi Jiala asked again: “And the Fire Refining Fruit has been exchanged for?”

“Yes,” Qiao Sang nodded in a good mood.

Although this task had some twists and turns at the beginning, everything went smoothly, especially the Fire Refining Fruit, which she successfully obtained.

Now there were only two tasks left, and time was very ample. She planned to rest well before setting off.

Before she could voice her thoughts, Mi Jiala said calmly: “I knew it. Wait for me.”

After speaking, she walked into the room.

Wait for what? Qiao Sang was stunned.

Three seconds later, Mi Jiala came out of the room with a backpack and a suitcase, saying:

“I’ve already packed everything. Let’s go to Tianfu City.”

Qiao Sang: “…” (End of chapter)
