Chapter 1042: Chapter 817: Flame Cleansing Potion (Two-in-One)_2

Void Flame isn’t… Qiao Sang quickly filtered through Yaobao’s high-level skills in her mind and said, “It’s not.”

“Do you mind telling me what skill it is?” the woman asked anxiously.

“Void Flame,” Qiao Sang replied.

“Wait for me!” The woman didn’t elaborate further. Holding her phone, she got up and briskly walked towards the glass window to make a call.

A minute later, she hung up the phone, walked back to the open kitchen, and started making coffee while saying:

“I’ve already asked someone to bring the Flame Ink Gold over. I usually work outside, so I don’t dare leave something so valuable lying around at home.”

No wonder she asked so many questions earlier. She was probably afraid the Flame Ink Gold would be wasted again… Qiao Sang nodded lightly. “I understand.”

Not long after, the woman returned with two cups of coffee.

Qiao Sang took one and thanked her.

But before she could take more than a sip, the doorbell rang.

The woman got up to answer the door. Outside stood a man dressed in security gear.

He handed her the metal box without saying a word before turning and leaving.

The woman shut the door and gestured with the metal box towards Qiao Sang: “The Flame Ink Gold has arrived. Let’s head outside.”

Such efficiency… Qiao Sang thought to herself as she took another sip of coffee, got up, and followed the woman to the open space behind the house.

The metal box had a password lock.

The woman pressed a few buttons on it, and the box opened to reveal a fist-sized piece of metal, red with streaks of gold.

This is the Flame Ink Gold… Seeing it inevitably made Qiao Sang think about her expired Unlimited Card.

If her Unlimited Card was still active, materials of this level wouldn’t have to be obtained through tasks…

Shaking off those thoughts, Qiao Sang didn’t dwell on it, lest she feel a pang of regret.

The woman didn’t take out the Flame Ink Gold, leaving the box open on the ground, nodding as she said, “You can start now.”

Qiao Sang looked at the metal box hesitantly. “Won’t this box get damaged?”

The woman chuckled and said, “It’s made of specially designed flame-resistant metal, so it won’t burn. Don’t worry.”

Reassured, Qiao Sang nodded towards Yaobao:

“Use Void Flame.”

“Ya!”

Yaobao stepped forward, opened its mouth, and unleashed an invisible flame at the contents of the golden box.

Since the range was small, there wasn’t any sudden increase in temperature.

But it was clear to see that the Flame Ink Gold was now suffused with a warped appearance.

That visual effect could only come from intense heat.

The woman, seemingly aware that the Flame Ink Gold wouldn’t melt so quickly, started casual conversation:

“Can I ask why you contracted a Blue Star pet beast?”

“Because I’m from Blue Star,” Qiao Sang replied.

An alien? The woman froze briefly but quickly seemed to realize something. She glanced at Gangbao with interest and asked:

“Is this one also a Blue Star pet beast?”

Looks like this woman doesn’t follow the news much—as Gangbao and Yaobao were both trending on Chao Su Star not long ago… Qiao Sang’s expression remained neutral:

“It’s called the Gangzhan Giant Falcon, a pet beast from Chao Su Star.”

The woman frowned and fixed her gaze on the Mini Shrinking Bracelet on Gangbao’s claws, asking, “What’s the initial form of the Gangzhan Giant Falcon?”

“It’s the Little Steel Falcon,” Qiao Sang answered.

The woman was stunned, scanning Gangbao’s figure multiple times. “When did the Little Steel Falcon evolve into another form?”

Qiao Sang cleared her throat and said, “Just a few months ago. It went through a Bond Evolution.”

A Bond Evolution for the Little Steel Falcon?

At this moment, the woman finally realized that the black-haired girl in front of her might be someone quite extraordinary. She paused thoughtfully and then suddenly spoke:

“My son studies at Zhi Continent University, researching how to push pet beasts beyond their limits. The Gangzhan Giant Falcon is a new form, so its next evolution pathway might still be unknown. This breakthrough research could possibly help the Gangzhan Giant Falcon evolve to the next stage. Would you like me to share my son’s contact with you so you can discuss it?”

As she said this, her eyes scanned Qiao Sang’s face and the backpack slung over her shoulders before continuing:

“Who knows, you might even become schoolmates in the future.”

Qiao Sang hesitated briefly. “I’m currently a student at Yuliandun University.”

For a moment, an eerie silence descended upon them.

Qiao Sang keenly sensed that the task issuer didn’t feel like talking anymore.

Time trickled by.

The Flame Ink Gold in the metal box continued to burn.

“Ya…”

Yaobao had been staring at the Flame Ink Gold all along. Seeing that only a tiny bit of it had melted after so much time, it couldn’t help but open its mouth and unleash another burst of Void Flame.

As expected, this was tough to melt… Qiao Sang thought to herself.

“Ya Ya!”

Impatient as ever, Yaobao saw that its Void Flame skill hadn’t made much of a difference. Turning to its Beast Tamer, it let out a cry, signaling whether it should use its ultimate move.
