"Sometimes resting well before the match can be more effective. You have to trust in the daily accumulation between you and Flame Gao."
So she let Yaobao and the others rest while she continued to study Yuan Tianlongâs information, forgetting to have Gangbao temporarily evolve to check things.
Of course, except for Little Treasure Hunter, Yaobao and the others couldnât resist the spirit of training and went to the indoor training ground to train for a bit.
"Steel Sword."
Gangbao nodded.
Just as it raised its wings, it suddenly thought of something and asked:
"Steel Sword?"
Have you already learned to block your thoughts?
Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: "No."
"Steel Sword?" Gangbao expressed its doubt.
Why did I suddenly not sense what you were thinking just now?
Qiao Sang paused, then thought of something and her expression became peculiar. She asked back:
"When was the time you couldnât sense my thoughts just now?"
"Steel Sword."
Gangbao thought for a while and called out, indicating it was about three minutes ago.
Qiao Sang asked again:
"Do you usually not sense my thoughts at this time before I sleep?"
Gangbao nodded and then called:
"Steel Sword."
Before sleeping, donât you always clear your mind?
Pausing, it suddenly remembered that it never used to be concerned whether it could perceive its own Beast Tamerâs thoughts or not. Recently, its Beast Tamerâs thoughts seemed too overwhelming, which is why it felt slightly uneasy not being able to sense them.
Clearly, it was sometimes like this before too...
Qiao Sang: "..."
It seems that Gangbao wasnât aware of my thoughts while watching the Beast Taming Codex...
Qiao Sang looked at Gangbao and said word by word:
"Iâm not empty-minded; Iâm watching the Beast Taming Codex."
If Gangbaoâs next evolution pathway is through the Power of Bond, she hopes she wonât hold back anything that would obstruct the bond with Gangbao.
"Steel Sword."
Gangbao could sense that its Beast Tamer was telling the truth, and it called out indicating that, indeed, she wasnât empty-minded before sleeping.
It had heard of the Beast Taming Codex, and itâs said that humans can contract and control those species because of it.
Qiao Sang stared at Gangbao and continued:
"My Beast Taming Codex is somewhat special; it shows your information, so every night before I sleep, I take a look."
As she spoke, she pondered:
"Perhaps because of its special nature, whenever I think about matters related to the Beast Taming Codex, you canât sense it."
"Steel Sword..."
Gangbao gazed intently at its own Beast Tamer.
It has heard about the importance of the Beast Taming Codex to humans, yet sheâs just revealing its uniqueness like thisâis it really okay...
Qiao Sang sensed Gangbaoâs thoughts and replied with a smile:
"Itâs okay, arenât we the best partners?"
Gangbao looked at its own Beast Tamer in front of it, and a warm feeling surged within its heart, along with another inexplicable strength rising.
"Xun Xun!"
"Xun Xun!"
Little Treasure Hunter, after listening to the conversation, raised its paw.
It also heard!
Qiao Sang looked at it and laughed:
"Itâs okay that you heard it too."
Honestly, if it was just after the contract, even just after contracting with Yaobao, she never thought she would share this secret with her Pet Beast.
But now, even with the last contracted Qingbao, she feels itâs okay to say anything.
She must admit that her mindset now has greatly changed from when she had just arrived in the Beast Taming Society.
Sheâs already taken Yaobao and the others as inseparable companions.
"Xun Xun~"
Little Treasure Hunter gleefully floated around.
Though it didnât know what its Beast Tamer said was particularly important, it felt that both its Beast Tamer and subordinate considered it significant; it felt trusted by its Beast Tamer.
"Steel Sword."
Then, Gangbao called out, indicating it wanted to try the Bond Evolution.
Saying that, it flew towards the training room.
How bashful yet moved... Qiao Sang sensed Gangbaoâs mood, and seeing it was no different from its usual state, she smiled, got out of bed, and followed it.
"Xun Xun!"
Little Treasure Hunter called out from behind as it hurried to catch up.
Wait for it!
The training room in the presidential suite was made of special material, both sound-proof and durable, but usually only suitable for ordinary trainingâskills with more destructive power arenât suited for use inside.
To prevent waking up Yaobao and the others, Qiao Sang went in, closed the door of the training room, and then spoke:
