~14 min read 2,615 words

After packing up her things and instructing the You Zhen Cat to return after a while, under Teacher Mi Mi Jiala's signal, Pen Jia Mei's eyes glowed with blue light.

The next second, the two of them and the group of pet beasts disappeared from the villa.

When Qiao Sang's vision cleared, she found people and pet beasts coming and going, dragging suitcases or carrying bags.

Immediately after, the broadcast sounded:

"Respected passengers, please do not accept, carry, or transport luggage for others to avoid involving illegal items. Passengers who cannot handle check-in procedures, please contact airport staff..."

Qiao Sang looked to the side and found that those seeking help were basically all pet beasts.

And the staff in uniforms helping were both humans and pet beasts.

Sure enough, even on Yan Yan Tianxing where humans and pet beasts coexist, not all pet beasts are literate like Little Xiao Xunbao... Qiao Sang sighed internally, then thought of something and asked:

"Why aren't we taking the Rampart Night Eagle this time?"

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala explained: "The Rampart Night Eagle is afraid of the cold and doesn't want to go to places like Ten Thousand Ice Island that are cold year-round."

Qiao Sang: "..."

She never expected such a simple and unadorned reason...

Boarding the plane, Qiao Sang lay on the soft, luxurious seat and couldn't help but ask:

"Why are we sitting in first class this time?"

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala glanced at Xia Xia Lala, who was looking out the window, and said gently:

"It takes a day and a half to get to Ten Thousand Ice Island. If we sit in other cabins, I'm afraid Zhou Xian Zhou Xian Pu will be uncomfortable sitting for too long."

I should have guessed... Qiao Sang was silent for a moment, hugged Like Ya Bao, and began to close her eyes to sleep.

Time passed slowly.

The blue sky became deep and dark, then gradually turned bright again.

Qiao Sang opened her eyes and looked out the window.

She saw a vast expanse of white outside; the land was almost covered by glaciers, and icebergs were floating on the sea, clearly having entered the extreme cold zone.

Looks like we're almost there... Qiao Sang thought to herself.

As the thought flashed, the broadcast sounded:

"The plane is about to arrive at Bingba Airport on Ten Thousand Ice Island. Passengers, please fasten your seatbelts until the plane comes to a complete stop..."

Sure enough, we're almost there... Qiao Sang then thought of something, looked at Little Xiao Xunbao, and said:

"Take out the thick clothes we prepared."

"Super Xunxun~"

Little Xiao Xunbao took off its ring and took out some thick clothes from inside.

Qiao Sang took them and put the clothes on Seeing Qingbao, Little Tingbao, and Xia Xia Lala, wrapping them up completely.

Before leaving, she had planned to buy some winter clothes for pet beasts, but Yan Yan Tianxing's Dragon Country is hot year-round; not to mention winter clothes, there wasn't even a single physical store selling long-sleeved clothes for spring and autumn.

Online stores could find them, but it would take several days for them to be delivered.

Fortunately, when she first came to Yan Yan Tianxing, thick clothes had been kept in Little Xiao Xunbao's ring.

Gangbao cut them a few times with its wing blades, then had the You Zhen Cat sew them, and they fit quite well.

Qiao Sang looked at Seeing Qingbao, Little Tingbao, and Xia Xia Lala wrapped up completely and wore a satisfied expression.

Then she looked at Little Xiao Xunbao and asked:

"Aren't you wearing any?"

"Super Xunxun~"

Little Xiao Xunbao's mouth curled, and it stretched out a claw and shook it.

It is already King-level, so it won't be afraid of the cold.

Ten minutes later.

Qiao Sang wore a black down jacket and got off the plane holding Like Ya Bao.

In an instant, the temperature plummeted.

A bone-chilling cold wind rushed toward her.

Qiao Sang's expression was calm, as if it were just an ordinary breeze blowing, without feeling particularly cold.

"Super Xunxun!"

Little Xiao Xunbao was instantly covered in white frost, cried out from the cold, quickly took off its ring, and took out a cotton-padded jacket and hat that fit its size to wear. Only then did it breathe a sigh of relief, feeling like it had come back to life.

Qiao Sang looked at it with amusement and said:

"Didn't you say you weren't afraid of the cold?"

"Super Xunxun?"

Little Xiao Xunbao wore an "Did I say that?" expression, playing dumb.

Qiao Sang: "..."

Seeing Qingbao shivered uncontrollably from the cold on the side.

Even fully armed, the weather on Ten Thousand Ice Island was still too cold for it.

However, the moment its body shivered, the wind around it inexplicably stopped, no longer blowing toward it.

Without the bone-chilling cold wind, the climate was suddenly no longer so hard to accept.

Seeing Qingbao was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but feel happy.

"Tingting!"

Little Tingbao, who had been staying beside Lubao, jumped off the backpack at the first opportunity, moved away from Lubao, and cried out, indicating it was so cold.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang thought of something, put down Like Ya Bao, and said:

"Stay next to Like Ya Bao, it will be warmer."

"Yaya!"

Like Ya Bao cried out to Little Tingbao.

"Tingting!"

Little Tingbao's eyes lit up, and it moved its body without hesitation, crawling onto Like Ya Bao's body.

"Tingting..."

Once on its body, Little Tingbao felt very warm and comfortable, wore a comfortable expression, and couldn't help but curl up in the fur.

Like Ya Bao: "..."

I meant next to me, why did you come onto my body...

Like Ya Bao remembered that Little Tingbao could be considered hatched by itself, so it endured it.

"Are you cold?" Teacher Mi Mi Jiala looked at Xia Xia Lala, who was curiously staring at the surroundings, and asked.

"Xia Xia."

Xia Xia Lala nodded honestly.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala wore a gentle expression and opened her arms.

However, before she could speak, Qiao Sang, who had heard the conversation, bent down, picked up Xia Xia Lala, and said:

"I'll hold you, it will be warmer this way."

"Xia Xia."

Xia Xia Lala turned to look at the human holding it, its eyes curved, and it nodded.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala: "..."

"Teacher, are we going to stay at the Beast Taming Center?" Qiao Sang asked.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala replied irritably: "No."

"Then where are we going?" Qiao Sang asked again.

"I'll find a homestay with an open-air training ground." Teacher Mi Mi Jiala had calmed down by now, returning to her usual tone: "Those who run homestays are basically local people and pet beasts. They are familiar with this place, and maybe they know news about the Ice Gu Huan Crystal."

Sure enough, with Xia Xia Lala here, Teacher Teacher Mi Mi Jiala wouldn't stay at the Beast Taming Center... Qiao Sang flattered her immediately:

"Teacher, you are so thoughtful."

Gangbao silently glanced at its Beast Tamer.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala's mouth curled slightly; she was quite pleased.

She took out her phone and showed the location of the homestay to Pen Jia Mei.

Pen Jia Mei's eyes quickly glowed with blue light.

Immediately after, the two of them and the group of pet beasts disappeared from the spot.

On a glacier, a giant, crystal-clear ice house.

"Lengleng." A frog-type pet beast about two meters tall, standing on two legs and mostly pale blue, greeted them.

When speaking, its gaze couldn't help but look at Like Ya Bao, Lubao, Pen Jia Mei, and Long Dawang, who were not wearing clothes.

Ten Thousand Ice Island is frozen year-round, and it rarely sees tourists not wearing clothes.

"I booked two suites." Teacher Mi Mi Jiala handed over her identification documents.

"Lengleng!"

The frog-type pet beast took the documents and turned to cry out loudly.

Not long after, a slightly chubby youth with a slightly haggard face walked out from a door.

"Lengleng."

The frog-type pet beast cried out.

"I understand." After the youth finished speaking to the frog-type pet beast, he quickly handled the check-in procedures and said exhaustedly: "You booked two suites. There's a large open space behind the battle field; if you want to train, you can go there. We provide three meals a day here, and if you want to do it yourself, you can borrow the kitchen. If you need anything, just look for me or Leng Xin Wa."

After speaking, he turned to look at Leng Xin Wa and said:

"Wuqing, take the guests to their rooms."

Wuqing... Qiao Sang's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Leng Xin Wa, an ice-type high-level pet beast, is said to be very cold-blooded, emotionless, and won't feel pain because of anything.

Come to think of it, calling it Wuqing (Heartless) seems quite appropriate...

"Lengleng." Leng Xin Wa cried out and then made a "please" gesture.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala didn't leave immediately but looked at the youth and said:

"I want to ask you one thing."

"Ask away," the youth said: "I basically know everything about food and entertainment around here."

"Do you know where there is an Ice Gu Huan Crystal here?" Teacher Mi Mi Jiala asked.

The youth thought for a moment and said:

"You can go to the Extreme Ice District to take a look; that's basically where ice-type related materials and items are purchased."

After Teacher Mi Mi Jiala thanked him, she and Qiao Sang followed Leng Xin Wa to the suite.

The youth's gaze swept over the backs of the pet beasts he didn't recognize, finally landing on Long Dawang's back. His heart stirred, but then he thought of something, his eyes dimmed, and he turned and left.

6:30 PM.

Qiao Sang held Xia Xia Lala and, under Little Xiao Xunbao's spatial movement, appeared in the Extreme Ice District with Teacher Teacher Mi Mi Jiala and Like Ya Bao and the others.

This place was like a bustling market, except the stalls didn't display vegetables, but various ice-type materials and items.

Humans and pet beasts were strolling around in twos and threes, and there were also some lone wolves.

It could be seen that whether it was the pet beasts running the stalls or the pet beasts strolling, most were ice-type.

"I didn't expect it to be so cold here, yet there are still so many people," Qiao Sang looked around and sighed.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala said: "This is the only place on Yan Yan Tianxing that is cold year-round. Beast Tamers who own ice-type pet beasts or those looking to contract ice-type pet beasts basically all appear here."

So that's how it is... Qiao Sang didn't speak again, strolling forward and looking at the stalls one by one.

The items and materials displayed on the stalls were all related to the ice type.

Although she didn't see an Ice Gu Huan Crystal, she had Lubao, and Lubao could use many of these things.

Ice-type pet beasts are rare on Yan Yan Tianxing, so the prices of ice-type related items and materials are outrageously high.

The ice-type items and materials on Ten Thousand Ice Island are considered first-hand sources, without middlemen earning the price difference, so the prices are quite a bit cheaper compared to the outside.

Qiao Sang couldn't help but buy a lot of things.

After one round, Little Xiao Xunbao had already put large and small bags into its ring no less than ten times.

Qiao Sang strolled to the next stall and asked habitually:

"Boss, do you have an Ice Gu Huan Crystal?"

The stall owner was a leopard-type pet beast that was mostly white.

"Xuexue." The leopard-type pet beast nodded and then picked up an irregular, translucent crystal.

There really is one... Qiao Sang's eyes lit up and she asked:

"What level Ice Gu Huan Crystal is this?"

"Xuexue."

The leopard-type pet beast took out an appraisal certificate and handed it over.

Qiao Sang looked down and saw it was C-level, unable to hide her disappointment.

Suddenly, she thought of something and asked:

"Can you tell me where you found the Ice Gu Huan Crystal?"

"Xuexue."

The leopard-type pet beast snatched the appraisal certificate back, held its chin high, and cried out.

"Gangqiu."

Gangbao translated in her mind.

It said if you're not buying anything, leave.

Qiao Sang: "..."

Are all pet beasts this human-like... Qiao Sang was silent for a moment.

"Momo."

At this time, Long Dawang stepped forward, squinting its eyes, looking at the leopard-type pet beast, and cried out with great momentum.

The leopard-type pet beast's body trembled violently, and intense fear enveloped it.

"Xue, Xuexue!" The leopard-type pet beast wore a terrified expression and cried out.

The momentum on Long Dawang's body dissipated instantly.

"Xuexue..."

The leopard-type pet beast gasped for air and cried out.

"Gangqiu."

Gangbao helped translate.

It said it was discovered on Ice Difficulty Island.

Ice Difficulty Island... Qiao Sang looked at Long Dawang with a grateful expression.

"Momo."

Long Dawang's mouth curled, and it cried out, indicating it was just a small matter.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala: "..."

"Where is it?" Teacher Mi Mi Jiala asked.

"Ice Difficulty Island," Qiao Sang replied.

Ten Thousand Ice Island is not a single island, but composed of 109 ice islands, and Ice Difficulty Island is one of them.

"Are we leaving now?" Teacher Mi Mi Jiala asked.

We don't have to be that efficient... Qiao Sang thought to herself.

"Xuexue."

Before Qiao Sang could answer, the leopard-type pet beast couldn't help but cry out.

"Gangqiu."

Gangbao translated in her mind.

It told us not to go over there; recently, pet beasts have been disappearing there for no reason.

I didn't expect this Snow Leopard to be forced to answer, yet still be kind enough to warn us... Qiao Sang sighed internally, picked up the Ice Gu Huan Crystal from just now, and asked:

"How much is this? I'll buy it."

"Baobao!"

The leopard-type pet beast's eyes lit up and it quickly reported a number.

"Are you sure about leaving tomorrow?" On the way back, Teacher Mi Mi Jiala asked.

Qiao Sang said "Mm": "The temperature on Ten Thousand Ice Island at night is lower than during the day, I'm afraid Xia Xia Lala and the others won't be able to stand it."

Hearing that it was for Xia Xia Lala's sake, Teacher Mi Mi Jiala said immediately: "You're right."

The two chatted while pushing open the door of the homestay.

"I wonder what kind of pet beasts are disappearing on Ice Difficulty Island."

"We must keep a close eye on Zhou Xian Zhou Xian Pu when we go to Ice Difficulty Island tomorrow."

"Understood."

Suddenly, a voice cut in:

"You're going to Ice Difficulty Island tomorrow?"

Qiao Sang looked toward the sound and found the person speaking was the youth boss with the poor complexion, and nodded:

"Yes."

The youth hesitated, then said in a low voice:

"It's best if you don't go there recently."

"Why?" Qiao Sang asked: "Is it because pet beasts are disappearing there?"

The youth's tone was low, as if suppressing some kind of pain, and he said:

"More than five pet beasts have already disappeared there. Your pet beasts are too conspicuous; there's a great risk in going over."

"Do you know why these pet beasts disappeared?" Teacher Mi Mi Jiala asked.

The youth was silent for a moment and said: "I don't know. The government sent people over several times, but they all ended without success; no reason was found."
