Their bodies looked as if they were made of mud, sharp teeth gleaming in the dim light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cluster Flower Street stretched two kilometers, but finding them wasn’t hard, just follow the stench.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night sky was heavy and dim. Couples who caught a whiff cursed aloud, then either detoured or turned back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lala Ash… the book didn’t lie…Qiao Sang held her breath, casting a glance at the mud-like beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lala.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Great.

Just that you’re beautiful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qing qing…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingbao floated onto her knees, buried her head in Qiao Sang’s chest, and closed her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t like bad smells, right?” Qiao Sang finally asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, seeing Qingbao beside the Lala Ash had startled her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qing qing…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half-asleep, Qingbao murmured faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t like it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steady breathing followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Awake one moment, asleep the next…Qiao Sang looked down at her, choosing silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning, after washing and eating, Qiao Sang submitted the task at the assessment office, then knocked on Mikayla’s door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It opened immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Finished the task?” Mikayla asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang feigned surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Teacher, how did you know?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mikayla’s lips twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A guess.” She stepped aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, luggage lay unpacked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When do we leave for the next city?” Qiao Sang asked politely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No rush.” Mikayla sat on the bed, messaging on her phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Researchers from the academy are on their way to examine Qingqing Ni. We’ll leave after that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang had no objection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mikayla asked as usual, “How did you handle the task?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Excited, Qiao Sang explained how she discovered Qingbao could merge into Wind-type moves for precise control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mikayla went silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You mean… Qingqing Ni can already manipulate wind directly?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the beginner stage already…Mikayla realized she knew little of the Dragon Nation’s legendary beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her knowledge came only from books, half myths, half truths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had never encountered one directly, let alone a foreign legendary beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, she felt inadequate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a pause, she logged into the Imperial Beast University’s internal site and ordered a stack of texts on Dragon Nation beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang saw her teacher preoccupied and didn’t disturb her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A knock came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun xun~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure floated to the door, peeked outside, then mimed three figures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Open up, it’s the school staff.” Mikayla said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure opened the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three people entered, two men and one woman, all brisk and professional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blond middle-aged man greeted Mikayla warmly, then looked at Qiao Sang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you’re Qiao Sang! Truly, the academy has produced a remarkable student this year.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang smiled modestly and called, “Qingbao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingbao appeared, instantly drawing their attention. They began examining her with instruments mounted on a Mechanical-type beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang sat quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun xun~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure curiously circled the machine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sharp-featured woman nearly scolded, then froze, staring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This Ghost Ring King… it looks just like the one wanted in Eagle Country.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun xun…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure scowled.Wanted?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s a Ghost Ring King on a wanted list?” Qiao Sang asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes. A wild one, probably from a secret realm fissure. Rare in Eagle Country, so it drew attention.” The woman explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did it do?” Mikayla asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She replied, “The usual wild beast trouble. But this one’s different, it knows it’s wanted. It deliberately lets hunters capture it, then hypnotizes them and steals everything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once, a famous hunter, surname Ao or something, was found stripped bare at a police station. Surveillance showed it was the Ghost Ring King.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard that too.” The younger male assistant added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The hunter was traumatized and offered a bounty triple the wanted price. Still hasn’t been caught.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at Little Treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When you return to Eagle Country, be careful. Hunters might mistake you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Focus.” The blond leader cut in sternly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That was just a wild beast. It can’t possibly resemble this one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chastened, they fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun xun!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure nodded firmly.Exactly! No one looks like me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Sang eased the mood with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry. My Ghost Ring King is an mutated variant beast. No mistaking it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun xun~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure crossed his arms proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman researcher gave another doubtful glance but stayed quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearly an hour later, the inspection ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qing qing…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingbao floated wearily back to Qiao Sang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun xun~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure offered her a bottle of milk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qing qing~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingbao blinked, then smiled sweetly and accepted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Treasure smirked inwardly.Closer to recruiting you as my little sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The researchers packed up and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So efficient…In the Dragon Nation, they’d surely stay for a meal first, Qiao Sang mused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Teacher, which city next?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t in a rush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eight tasks were already complete, and over three months remained before the regional tournament.
