"Xun Xun~"
Little Treasure Spirit floated over, giving its Beast Tamer an ingratiating look, indicating it was ready to go for training.
After speaking, it spread its paws open.
The implication was that it wanted a phone.
"Go buy one." Qiao Sang said, picking up the phone and searching for nearby mobile stores, then placed the address in front of Little Treasure Spirit, saying, "Letâs go here."
"Xun Xun!"
Little Treasure Spiritâs eyes eagerly glowed blue, leading its Beast Tamer away from the place.
"Ting Ting..."
Tingbao looked at its Beast Tamer who had suddenly disappeared and showed an unhappy expression.
"Qingqing?"
Qingbao, who was about to go to the open training ground for practice, floated over and called out, asking if it wanted to go training together.
"Ting Ting."
Tingbao responded immediately without thinking.
Iâve already finished the competition, why still work so hard to train.
Yet Iâm the diligent one... Qingbao said nothing and happily floated towards the open training ground.
About ten minutes later, Qiao Sang and Little Treasure Spirit abruptly returned to the living room.
"Xun Xun~"
Little Treasure Spirit, holding the new phone it couldnât put down, floated to the sofa and started downloading various apps immediately.
Qiao Sang looked at Tingbao, who was still in the living room, and asked:
"Arenât you going to train?"
"Ting Ting?"
Tingbao was stunned for a moment, then called out.
Isnât the competition over?
Qiao Sangâs mouth twitched slightly and said, "You need to train even if thereâs no competition."
She thought that after the competition, Tingbao would set a goal and work hard independently, but to her surprise, as soon as it ended, it returned to its old self.
"Ting Ting."
Tingbao showed an "alright then" expression, didnât resist, and swayed its way toward the open training ground.
Qiao Sang watched its back and suddenly thought of something.
Before, Tingbao always liked to stick around Lubao to cool off when there was nothing to do. Even for training, it would intentionally stay near Lubao, but ever since entering that competition, it had less and less time spent sticking around Lubao.
Remembering that the hairclip that emits cool air had a usage period after unsealing... Qiao Sang recalled the feeling beside Tingbao earlier and turned to Little Treasure Spirit, asking:
"Hasnât Tingbaoâs hairclip been unable to emit cool air for a while now?"
"Xun Xun~"
Little Treasure Spirit, while fiddling with the phone, recalled and called out.
It seems like itâs been some time.
Hearing this, Qiao Sang felt a swell of relief in her heart.
Though Tingbao hasnât quite developed the habit of autonomously training without being prompted after the contest, it seems its fear of heat has improved.
She gathered her thoughts, reminded Little Treasure Spirit "Remember not to show skills you havenât used in competitions to everyone during training," and sensed Qingbaoâs location as she headed toward the open training ground.
Tingbaoâs competition is over, now itâs time to fully focus on searching for the Sun Crystal.
...
When Little Treasure Spirit finished downloading all sorts of apps and floated to the open training ground with the phone, Qiao Sang had already left the villa with Shalala, Yaobao, and Qingbao, following the direction of the wind.
"Xun Xun~"
"Xun Xun~"
Little Treasure Spirit opened the live streaming app and warmly greeted the incoming viewers.
The viewers who entered left messages wanting to see Tingbao.
Since yesterdayâs live broadcast, Little Treasure Spirit gained quite a few followers, but all were following just for Tingbao.
"Xun Xun~"
Little Treasure Spirit wasnât upset, it floated next to Tingbao and aimed the camera at it, calling out.
"Ting Ting."
Tingbao turned to wave at the phone, then continued training.
Little Treasure Spirit floated to an empty spot nearby, set up the phone, aimed the camera at itself, and checked the comments.
All the messages below were requests to see Tingbao again.
Seeing the messages, Little Treasure Spirit felt a bit unhappy, pouting its mouth, but it quickly managed its expression and cheerfully called out:
"Xun Xun~"
Then it used its Substitute, while the main body floated to a visible spot on camera and began to train diligently.
Itâs just that everyone doesnât know it yet, once they do, theyâre sure to like it.
Thinking this, Little Treasure Spirit trained even harder.
...
Two hours later, Qiao Sang returned to the villa.
"Qingqing..."
Qingbao sighed, not expecting that the found Sun Crystal was fake.
The wind swirled low.
"Itâs okay." Qiao Sang comforted, "Itâs mostly because there are too many fakes on the market, weâll find it slowly, thereâs always hope."
"Qingqing."
Qingbao nodded, then thought of something, its expression became cheerful again, and it called out.
