"Is this okay?" Qiao Sang hesitated.
"Why wouldnât it be." The examiner said with a face that looked fair and impartial: "The essence of doing tasks is solving problems. If the person who issued the task feels thereâs no problem, then there shouldnât be a problem."
Seems like it makes some sense... Qiao Sang thought to herself.
The examiner continued earnestly: "Thereâs not much time left, you still have six tasks unfinished, so you need to hurry."
He handed back the Beast Taming Badge and identity card.
Qiao Sang took them: "I understand."
With that, she turned to leave.
At this moment, the examiner called out: "Wait!"
Qiao Sang turned back, using her eyes to ask whatâs wrong?
The examiner coughed: "You havenât answered my earlier question, does Qingqing sleep? What time does she usually go to bed?"
Qiao Sang: "..."
...
Qiao Sang, holding Yaobao, walked out of the Beast Taming Center and instantly noticed that many people were standing at the entrance.
People were standing in twos and threes, engaging in conversation.
The moment she appeared, there was a noticeable sensation as those around focused their gaze on her, leading to a brief silence for a few seconds.
This canât all be because of me... Qiao Sang felt a shiver inside but remained outwardly calm.
"Ya!"
Yaobao jumped down from her Beast Tamerâs arms, its size slowly increasing.
Its overwhelming presence caused a wave of people trying to approach to instinctively stop.
Qiao Sang mounted Yaobaoâs back.
Upon seeing this, those around quickly sat on their own flying pet beasts.
Observing their actions, Qiao Sang spoke: "Little Treasure Hunter."
"Xun Xun~"
Little Treasure Hunter understood her Beast Tamerâs intention, showed itself, and its eyes glowed blue.
The next second, Qiao Sang and Yaobao vanished from the spot.
The people at the entrance of the Beast Taming Center were initially stunned, then beat their chests.
"How come thereâs a pet beast that knows spatial movement!"
"Damn it! We waited so long for this!"
"Her two pet beasts arenât from the Zhongkong Region, is she not one of us from the Zhongkong Region?"
"You shouldâve gone up and asked earlier!"
"Why donât you go up and ask yourself!"
The two speaking glared at each other, understanding the reason, snorted coldly, and turned their heads.
...
In the sky.
Qiao Sang picked up her phone, opened the trending topics, and one particularly caught her eye.
[Qing Qingniâs Beast Tamer appeared at Tiangao Beastmaster Center.]
Two-thirds of the comments were people showcasing their tickets for trips to Tiangao City, including flights, subway, and aerial routes.
A small group questioned if they might have mistaken her.
Another group posted photos taken at the Jiantian Beastmaster Center, focusing on Yaobao.
People can be mistaken, but rare pet beasts arenât, especially when this pet beast is not seen locally, they donât usually come across it.
Indeed, itâs through Yaobao they recognized me... Qiao Sang glanced at Yaobao running high in the air and sighed.
Although Gangbao was also quietly following alongside, in a form not seen in the Zhongkong Region, it seemed to have a natural low-key ability; as long as its form was shrunk, it remained silent, making it hard for people to notice it first.
However, once the gaze landed on it once, its distinctiveness would be noticed.
On the contrary, Yaobao, even when shrunk, quickly draws attention.
Well, just like Mikaela said, everything is easy to say with strength, otherwise Yaobao canât always remain in its original size, shrunk and tucked inside clothing... Qiao Sang calmed her mind and dialed Mikaela.
"Du-du" rang twice and the call connected.
"Hello?" Mikaelaâs voice came through the speaker.
"Teacher, Iâm on the way to do a task now, the task is..." After briefly describing her task, Qiao Sang said: "I should be able to complete the task today."
Mikaela was silent for a few seconds: "I understand, then I shall prepare earlier and wait for your return."
"Okay." Qiao Sang said, then hung up.
...
Beast Taming Center.
Top floor restaurant.
From here, one could overlook the entire sky below.
At the table by the window, Mikaela put down the phone and looked at the computer screen in front of her:
[Dear Dean Theresa Dwight, Qiao Sang has already contracted her fifth pet beast, Qing Qingni, the basic form of the legendary pet beast in Dragon Countryâs Zhongkong Region, Wind God Cloud...]
She raised her hand and continued typing the unfinished sentence:
[Although itâs hard to believe, she has indeed contracted the legendary pet beast; her future is more unpredictable than I imagined. I hope the 100,000 point increase on top of the basic points I applied can be added...]
