...
Meanwhile.
A box in a tea restaurant near the Beast Taming Center.
"Gaga~"
The little singing swallow flew in happily from the window.
On the sofa, a sixteen-year-old boy with thick eyebrows looked at the little singing swallow with surprise and said:
"Did you succeed in taking the photo?"
"Gaga~"
The little singing swallow handed the phone to its Beast Tamer, nodding happily.
Infected by the excitement, it couldnât help spreading its wings, ready to sing again:
"Ga~ga..."
The singing came to an abrupt halt.
The man with a handsome short ponytail on the other side of the sofa stuffed a yellow tree fruit into its mouth and said with a smile:
"I donât want to be unable to sleep at night."
"Gaga..."
The little singing swallow took a bite of the tree fruit and instantly forgot about singing, happily munching away.
"We really took a group photo!" The boy looked at the photo on the phone, full of surprise, then suddenly thought of something, extremely regretful and said with deep remorse:
"If I had known God Qiao was so easy-going, I should have gone to ask her for a group photo myself, maybe even get an autograph."
The man with the handsome ponytail smiled and said:
"Sheâll take a group photo and sign an autograph for pet beasts that find her, but she might not do the same for people who do. If youâre like the little singing swallow and go directly to where she lives, youâd be like a crazy fan, and she wonât give you a good face."
"Thatâs true too..." The boy sighed, then gratefully said:
"Brother, luckily you gave me the idea to let the little singing swallow ask for a group photo. God Qiaoâs whereabouts are just too hard to determine. Every time after a competition, she just uses Spatial Movement to leave the scene, and itâs impossible to find her."
The man took a sip of tea and said:
"I also have a friend who happens to live where Qiao Sang trains. He said his pet beast suddenly came back with Flame Gaoâs autograph and refused to take a bath, so I thought of letting the little singing swallow give it a try."
The boy was stunned for a moment:
"Whatâs it got to do with whether it takes a bath or not?"
The man laughed: "Apparently, it was signed on its belly."
The boy was taken aback, then burst into laughter:
"How did it get signed on its belly? Maybe the pet beast wanted it to be signed there itself."
"That I donât know." The manâs tone was amused.
The boy suddenly asked: "By the way, brother, how did you know God Qiao lived in 2603?"
The man said:
"Her staying at the Beast Taming Center isnât a secret. A little investigation reveals it."
The boy became concerned:
"God Qiao should find somewhere else to live. Everybody knows where she lives, what if they bother her?"
The man smiled and didnât respond.
After a few seconds, he looked at the little singing swallow still munching the tree fruit and asked:
"Are you happy after taking the group photo?"
"Gaga~"
The little singing swallow nodded repeatedly.
The man asked again: "Are you happy enough to sing?"
"Gaga~"
The little singing swallow nodded.
The man smiled with satisfaction.
At this time, the boy said:
"Brother, I canât get a ticket for tomorrowâs event. Can you ask Brother Yu if he can save me a spot? After all, he made it to the top eight, asking the organizers for a spot shouldnât be too hard."
The man did not refuse:
"Iâll ask when the time comes."
Saying this, he took out his phone, opened a chat interface, typed, and sent:
[Qiao Sangâs side is settled.]
Itâs not intentional targeting, just a normal interference method.
After all, among the remaining contestants, only Qiao Sangâs location was the easiest to approach.
...
Beast Taming Center.
Room 2603.
"Steel Sword."
Gangbao called out, indicating it was not sure, just worried that it wouldnât sleep well tonight because of the singing, affecting tomorrowâs spirits.
It could tell that the singing bird was truly a fan, unless the bird was as good at acting as it was.
"You donât need to worry about that." Qiao Sang said: "Lubao has Healing Light, we can use it then."
She paused and added:
"However, quite a few people seem to know the room number Iâm staying in, so after the top four matches are over, I need to move to another place."
Regardless of whether the little singing swallow is a fan of Gangbaoâs or not, to find its way so precisely when the curtains are drawn and even bring a phone, it definitely wasnât acting alone without the Beast Tamerâs knowledge.
"Steel Sword."
Gangbao nodded, agreeing.
It was very satisfied with its Beast Tamerâs caution.
Qiao Sang sensed Gangbaoâs satisfaction, paused for a moment, then smiled and said:
"Do you think the bond between us has deepened again?"
"Steel Sword."
Gangbao fluttered its wings, indicating maybe.
"Do you remember the place where you dreamed of evolving?" Qiao Sang asked.
"Steel Sword."
Gangbaoâs expression turned serious, nodding.
Yes, it remembers.
