Chapter 1023: Chapter 811: A Mix of True and False (Two in One)

Adinixi’s heart skipped a beat, but outwardly, she pretended not to understand anything. She casually moved to the sofa, continuing to snack while watching TV.

Qiao Sang speculated, “Adinixi is a Phantom Beast, so maybe the situation is a little different.”

Adinixi’s ears perked up, clearly satisfied with this statement.

Billet paused for a moment. “Maybe.”

The reason Phantom Beasts are called Phantom Beasts is because they do have characteristics distinct from other Pet Beasts. He had never dealt with other Phantom Beasts before and didn’t know the specifics, let alone the fact that this one was from Chao Su Star, a place where even the Imperial Beastmaster Academy didn’t have any records.

Besides the need to take periodic breaks between predictions, he couldn’t figure out why Adinixi agreed to stay here for an extended period of time.

Hearing that the human who had returned no longer seemed suspicious, Adinixi quietly let out a breath of relief and looked at the other human with a slightly more approving gaze:

It’s all thanks to her…

At this moment, Qiao Sang asked, “Teacher, are there any tools or energy materials that could help shorten Adinixi’s prediction cooldown time?”

She didn’t mind sharing the same roof with Adinixi. In fact, getting to live alongside a Phantom Beast for a while was a privilege. However, she would need to return to Blue Star soon, and it would be inconvenient if Adinixi’s prediction ability was still on cooldown by then.

How would I know? I didn’t even know Adinixi needed breaks between predictions… Billet replied seriously, “Anything related to Phantom Beasts isn’t easy to obtain. Your top priority right now is still to focus on your training and studies. I’ll take care of Adinixi, and as soon as it fully recovers and can predict again, I’ll let you know immediately.”

After pausing for a moment, he added:

“During this period, I plan to stay here so I can look after Adinixi more conveniently. Besides, I’m worried those people might come back looking for trouble.”

Hearing his last sentence, Qiao Sang quickly responded, “I have plenty of empty rooms here. Feel free to pick one.”

Seeing that she agreed, Billet wasted no time and immediately had Niudikaka use Spatial Movement to return to the hotel to check out.

“Didi…”

Adinixi’s feelings were complicated. Although that human had technically saved her, he seemed a little too sharp and liked to meddle. She wasn’t too keen on staying around him for long.

Maybe I should finish playing my flute and leave early…

As she was pondering, Qiao Sang opened the fridge and took out some yellow tree fruits. Placing them on a plate, she walked over and said:

“These are Digestive Fruits. They help with digestion. Have some.”

Adinixi lowered her head to look at the Digestive Fruits and gave a slight nod.

Qiao Sang turned and went back to her room.

“Didi…”

Adinixi put down the potato chips, picked up a Digestive Fruit, and took a bite.

Fine, I guess I’ll stay here a bit longer…

…

In her room.

Qiao Sang sat cross-legged on the bed, resuming her meditation.

“Xun Xun!”

The overly confident little Xun Xun, feeling reassured now that her Beast Tamer was back, immediately issued a battle challenge to Lubao.

Qiao Sang couldn’t help but open her eyes and remind her, “Think it through. Lubao might not be willing to heal you next time.”

“Xun Xun…”

Little Xun Xun instantly deflated, letting out a soft noise and pretending she hadn’t said anything.

“Bing’ai.”

Lubao glanced at little Xun Xun, swished her tail, and walked out of the room.

“Ya Ya?”

Yaobao stared directly at little Xun Xun, letting out a low growl to see if her so-called intimidation could show itself right now.

Seeing that things weren’t settling down, Qiao Sang had no choice but to stop meditating and keep an eye on the situation.

“Xun Xun…”

Little Xun Xun, under the intense gaze of Big Brother Yaobao, saw her newfound confidence dwindle to almost nothing.

She glanced at her Beast Tamer for support, steeled herself a bit, and tried to summon her presence.

“Xun Xun…”

Little Xun Xun’s eyes grew sharper.

Though the window behind her was shut, the curtains began to sway slightly, as if moved by an unseen breeze.

“Ya Ya…”

Yaobao carefully assessed it, then his expression relaxed. Flicking his tail, he turned and walked out of the room to resume training at the open-air field.

What was that? That’s supposed to be intimidation? I thought it’d be way more impressive.

“Xun Xun!”

Little Xun Xun, sensing Yaobao’s dismissive attitude, pouted and threw herself into her Beast Tamer’s arms, bawling her eyes out.

Big Brother Yaobao looks down on me!

Qiao Sang patiently consoled her:

“That’s because your intimidation is still in its early stages, its level is low. Once it levels up, Yaobao will definitely feel the pressure.”

“Xun Xun?”

Little Xun Xun raised her head, her expression asking, “Really?”

“Of course it’s true.” Qiao Sang, remembering the earlier sidetracked conversation, asked again, “Have you noticed anything different about yourself lately?”
