"Xun Xun~"
Thatâs sensible, itâll help Old Six find opponents better in the future.
"Go train." Qiao Sang said.
"Xun Xun?"
Little Treasure Spirit couldnât help but utter a sound upon hearing this, indicating isnât my Substitute already in training?
Qiao Sang smiled and said, "Havenât you returned now."
Little Treasure Spirit: "..."
"Xun Xun..."
Reluctantly, Little Treasure Spirit floated into the black hole that appeared out of thin air.
In the next second, a black hole appeared out of nowhere in the open-air training field.
Little Treasure Spirit emerged from it.
"Xun Xun!"
The Substitute, who was training, stopped its actions, looked at Little Treasure Spirit, and wiped its forehead where no sweat was, showing an expression of "Youâre finally here."
"Xun Xun..."
Little Treasure Spirit nodded, feeling exhausted even before starting training.
At the same time, the Substitute vanished.
Inside the room, Qiao Sang placed the wallet aside, focused on the Beast Taming Codex, quickly flipping to the page about Tingbao, and his gaze fell on the last line.
[points: 250]
Although I lost a lot, it seems I still won a few matches... Without hesitation, Qiao Sang added all 250 points to the Level.
The value after the Level represents energy, and only with more energy can Tingbao train and continue fighting for more time.
Qiao Sangâs consciousness returned to the present, and amidst the fresh scent of grass and trees, continued meditation.
...
7:10 PM, dinner table.
Tingbao was ravenously devouring Energy Pills, with a greatly increased appetite.
"Why is Little Ting Dragonâs appetite so good today?" Mikaela asked.
"Maybe it had too many battles today and also trained for a long time, so itâs tired." Qiao Sang said.
Mikaela withdrew her gaze, seeming to accept this explanation.
Qiao Sang took a sip of soup and asked:
"Do we have any plans next?"
Mikaela said unhurriedly:
"Just waiting for news of the Sun Crystal and Li Fire Crystal."
Qiao Sang recalled something and said, "Speaking of the Sun Crystal, when I went to the Beast Taming Center to register information today, the staff there said that the recent Master Challenge Cup champion rewards have included a Sun Crystal."
After speaking, she suggested:
"Why donât we wait for this yearâs Master Challenge Cup and see who wins the championship? We can approach them then to see if we can make a trade."
Mikaela pondered and said:
"Thatâs also a method, but itâs considered a treasure, and itâs hard for someone to trade it. If we havenât found the Sun Crystal before the Master Challenge Cup, we can give it a try."
"Understood." Qiao Sang casually asked, "When is the next Master Challenge Cup held?"
Mikaela thought for a moment and said, "It should be about half a year from now."
Half a year isnât too long... Qiao Sang thought to herself.
At this point, Mikaela changed the topic:
"Iâll be out for a few days on business, so you can arrange your own time."
Qiao Sang was taken aback: "Whatâs the matter? Is it that important matter from today thatâs still unfinished?"
"Thatâs right." Mikaela said calmly while chewing her food, "Itâs not convenient to disclose the details."
For things weâll be dealing with together for decades, still keeping it so secret... Qiao Sang nodded, "I understand."
After the meal, Mikaela returned to the room, sat cross-legged on the bed, closed her eyes, and checked her brain domain.
Then she opened her eyes, sighed, picked up her phone beside her, and bought tickets to Flower Valley for the next few days.
...
The full moon hung high in the sky.
Bedroom.
Qiao Sang lay half-propped up on the bed, reading books about the Flame Heaven Star Pet Beast.
"Xiaxia."
Suddenly, Shalala called out.
Qiao Sang turned her head to the vase where Shalala was, inquiring:
"Whatâs wrong?"
"Xiaxia." Shalala pointed at its head.
Qiao Sang was silent for a moment and said in her mind:
"Gangbao, come translate quickly."
Then, she warmly said, "Wait a moment, Iâll have Gangbao translate."
"Xiaxia."
Shalala obediently nodded.
After about ten seconds, Gangbao opened the door and flew in.
"Xiaxia."
Shalala repeated what it had just said.
"Gangxiu."
Gangbao made a sound to help translate.
It says it wants a shower.
Qiao Sang was slightly surprised and asked, "Like watering a plant?"
"Xiaxia."
Shalala nodded.
Before Qiao Sang could get up, Gangbao flew out first.
Qiao Sang understood what Gangbao was doing and paused her actions.
Not long after, Gangbao flew in with a watering can in its beak.
Qiao Sang got up, took the watering can, and sprayed water on Shalalaâs head.
"Xiaxia~"
Shalalaâs eyes curved, showing a comfortable expression.
