Chapter 994: Chapter 802: I Want to Complain (Two in One)

Adinixi… Qiao Sang’s expression suddenly changed as she seemed to realize something, and she said urgently:

“Quick, check what’s going on inside the ring with the other stuff!”

“Xun Xun!”

Little Xunbao froze on the spot upon hearing her Beast Tamer’s words, then enlarged the ring and quickly shoved its entire head inside.

The commotion inside the ring was inaudible from the outside, but most of Little Xunbao’s body stuck out, writhing frantically, clearly in a state of frustration.

At this moment, Qiao Sang felt a foreboding sense of unease.

About a minute later, Little Xunbao pulled its head out of the ring, tears and mucus streaming down as it looked pitifully at its Beast Tamer. Qiao Sang’s heart sank as she asked, “What happened?”

“Xun Xun!”

Little Xunbao finally couldn’t hold back and burst into tears.

The food was almost entirely gone!

“Ya Ya?!”

Upon hearing this, Yaobao bristled fiercely, itching to charge in and take on the culprit who devoured everything.

“Bing’ai…”

Lubao’s eyes grew deep, and two small water bubbles emerged from its nostrils.

“Gangzhan…”

Gangbao’s face turned completely dark.

Qiao Sang, who had already mentally prepared herself, remained relatively calm and asked, “Other than the food, is everything else okay?”

“Xun, Xun…”

While using telekinesis to maneuver tissues from the coffee table to wipe its tears, Little Xunbao shook its head, indicating that the other items hadn’t been touched.

The situation was better than she had anticipated. It seemed Adinixi had only raided their food stash. Fortunately, her Unlimited Card was still valid; she could take this chance to stockpile energy-rich food back in Area One. The vice principal’s specially crafted energy pills for Yaobao and the others were regrettably lost, but it wasn’t a big deal. As long as Adinixi was willing to play the flute when needed, this sacrifice of food would be worth it… While Qiao Sang was busy consoling herself inwardly, she also reassured Yaobao and the others:

“I heard Adinixi only wakes up once every hundred years. After not eating for a century, waking up starving like this is understandable. When we get back, we’ll buy more food to replenish what was lost.”

“Xun, Xun…”

Little Xunbao continued wiping its tears.

“Ya Ya…”

Yaobao pouted, still somewhat indignant, but since its Beast Tamer had already said this, there was no other choice.

“Bing’ai…”

Lubao froze for a moment, then abruptly the two fluctuating water bubbles on its nostrils “popped” and burst, finally letting go of its frustration.

A century of sleeping without food, followed by being pursued like this—it was indeed pitiful…

“Gangzhan.”

Gangbao, still visibly angry, let out a low growl, expressing that even so, it couldn’t condone stealing all of someone else’s provisions.

Qiao Sang looked at Gangbao and conveyed a thought telepathically:

[We can’t beat it.]

“Gangzhan…”

Gangbao, having witnessed Adinixi’s battle against several other Emperor Level Pet Beasts earlier, quickly calmed down.

[But once we’re safe, we can ask it to predict the location of your next evolution stage as repayment.] Qiao Sang added in her mind.

[Gangzhan.] Gangbao responded telepathically.

It seemed like that would have to do.

After calming Gangbao, Qiao Sang walked over to the coffee table, pulled out a tissue, and handed it over. With a gentle tone, she said:

“You’ve worked hard this time. Don’t cry now. We might have a big fight coming up.”

“Xun… Xun!”

Upon hearing the earlier half of Qiao Sang’s words, Little Xunbao accepted the tissue and wiped its tears. Once her latter half registered, its spirits immediately lifted.

All their food was gone, and if the flute-playing figure got taken away too, it would lose everything!

But if they could protect this figure, and someday Little Xunbao rose up to become the leader, these sacrifices of food would all be worth it!

In an instant, Little Xunbao rekindled its fighting spirit.

Qiao Sang, seeing Little Xunbao return to form, felt relieved as she tapped the service button on the nearby virtual screen.

“Hello, what can I assist you with?” a sweet voice chimed.

Qiao Sang stated her request, “Bring me a few bottles of Energy Recovery Potion.”

For VIP services, their food preparation was comprehensive, and Energy Recovery Potions were naturally part of their repertoire.

“Alright, please wait a moment.”

After about four or five minutes, a knock sounded at the door.

“Come in,” Qiao Sang called out.

A uniformed female staff member stepped inside.

As she entered, it seemed as though a faintly refreshing scent lingered in the air.

The staff member placed four bottles of Energy Recovery Potion on the coffee table and spoke respectfully in a slightly deep tone:

“Here are your requested Energy Recovery Potions.”

Qiao Sang looked up at her.

Pale skin, faint freckles on her nose and cheeks, a mole on the lower lip’s left side, and chestnut-colored hair impeccably tied up—she looked exactly like one of the faces in the photos Qiao Sang had seen not long ago.
