Chapter 1361: I'll train with it

Micala was stunned, confirming:

"A hat made of white clouds?"

Qiao Sang smiled and said, "Mm-hmm. Little Xiao Xunbao has been triggering 'Borrow Life' quite often during training lately, so to keep me from hitting my head, Seeing Qingbao made this for me."

"Xun, Xun..."

Little Xiao Xunbao's body stiffened.

Seeing Qingbao glanced at Little Xiao Xunbao, its gaze filled with a hint of smugness, as if to say: *Look, you're the one making our Beast Tamer get hurt, while I'm the one keeping her safe. *

The first thought that crossed Micala's mind was: *Borrowed life again? Good thing I was smart enough to go outside. *

Her second thought was: *So it's a hat made of white clouds... no wonder it looks so comfortable to wear. *

Micala looked at the well-behaved Seeing Qingbao, then at the Dragon King lying on the sofa, picking its nose while watching TV, and then thought of the elusive Ultimate Ghost who hadn't been seen for eight out of the last ten days. She couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh.

*Look at the pets others contract, and then look at the ones I contract—what are these things? *

Micala reined in her thoughts, her tone slightly sour as she said:

"We're eating now, and Little Xiao Xunbao isn't training, so there's no need to wear that."

"No, this is Seeing Qingbao's heart, I want to wear it." Qiao Sang looked at Seeing Qingbao and said with a smile.

"Qing, Qing~"

Seeing Qingbao looked touched, and a joyful breeze swirled around it.

Eye to eye, the Beast Tamer and her pet were filled with warmth.

Micala couldn't bear to watch anymore and was just about to change the subject.

At that moment, the Dragon King suddenly turned its head and let out a call:

"Mo, Mo."

Its tone was relatively gentle, its eyes fixed only on its Beast Tamer.

*Dragon King... * Micala felt a strange stir in her heart, memories flashing of the few times the Dragon King had relied on her when it was little.

"Mo, Mo."

However, the Dragon King let out another call, indicating: *You should send me money. *

Micala: "..."

Qiao Sang pretended not to hear this and silently drank her soup.

After the meal, Steel Treasure and the others went out to train.

Micala glanced at Little Xiao Xunbao, who had also gone out, and nodded to Spraying Beauty.

Spraying Beauty understood, its eyes glowing with blue light, and it disappeared with its Beast Tamer.

Qiao Sang sat on the sofa with Fire Treasure and Summer Xia Lala, watching the live broadcast of the Master Challenge.

"Mo, Mo?"

The Dragon King turned its head to look at Fire Treasure, curiously asking: *Why aren't you going to train? *

It remembered that Fire Treasure used to love training the most.

"Ya, Ya."

Fire Treasure watched the TV and replied that it had already sent its clones to train.

"Mo, Mo?"

The Dragon King asked curiously again: *Aren't you going to accompany Little Xiao Xunbao in its training? *

It remembered that for a while, Fire Treasure would carry Little Xiao Xunbao off to train as soon as it finished eating, looking incredibly excited.

Qiao Sang turned to look at Fire Treasure.

Come to think of it, Fire Treasure's enthusiasm for training with Little Xiao Xunbao had indeed dropped quite a bit...

"Ya, Ya..."

Fire Treasure sighed, indicating that it felt Little Xiao Xunbao might be better suited to training with Steel Treasure and the others.

To be honest, it really didn't like battling Little Xiao Xunbao. At first, the feeling of the battle was interesting, but later it found that Little Xiao Xunbao liked to dodge too much, and it preferred head-on clashes.

Besides, every time it hit Little Xiao Xunbao, its Beast Tamer might suffer for it.

*Training with Steel Treasure? * Qiao Sang pondered.

Come to think of it, Little Xiao Xunbao and Steel Treasure were now two extremes.

One was smaller than pets of the same tier, the other larger; one was a glass cannon, the other a tank; one had high movement speed, the other low. Steel Treasure was careful, and even if it could hit Little Xiao Xunbao, it would certainly control its strength. They were indeed well-suited for sparring...

"Xia, Xia..."

Just then, Summer Xia Lala looked up, its expression filled with worry, indicating: *If it spars with Steel Treasure, will you feel pain if Steel Treasure gets hurt? *

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, then felt a surge of infinite warmth, saying gently:

"Don't worry, I underwent defensive training back on the Super Host Star; I won't feel any pain from the minor injuries Steel Treasure might sustain."

Little Xiao Xunbao didn't have any super-tier attack skills and couldn't cause any fatal damage to Steel Treasure.

"Steel, Power."

Steel Treasure called out in her mind, indicating: *But Little Xiao Xunbao can transfer super-tier attack skills to hit me. *

Qiao Sang: "..."

"Xia, Xia."

Summer Xia Lala looked relieved.

Qiao Sang stroked Summer Xia Lala's head and said in her mind: "As long as you use 'Sky Wing Blade' to spar with Little Xiao Xunbao, it won't be able to transfer the attack."

Little Xiao Xunbao could only transfer an opponent's long-range attacks to counter-attack; it couldn't transfer skills like 'Sky Wing Blade' that were connected to the user's own body.

"Steel, Power."

Steel Treasure acknowledged.

Over an hour passed, and during the match intermission, Qiao Sang got up and walked toward the open space.

From afar, she saw Steel Treasure moving through the air while using skills.

Qiao Sang scanned the sky quickly and narrowed her eyes, finally identifying a small black dot as Little Xiao Xunbao.

*It was the right choice to have Steel Treasure train with Little Xiao Xunbao. We've been watching TV for so long, and none of us have been affected by 'Borrow Life'... *

Qiao Sang felt quite satisfied and stood in a spot where she wouldn't be caught in the crossfire.

Her gaze swept over Ice Treasure and the others, finally landing on Thunder Treasure.

At this moment, Fire Treasure's clones were training, Steel Treasure and Little Xiao Xunbao were sparring, and Ice Treasure was with Seeing Qingbao. Only Thunder Treasure was alone in the distance, repeatedly using the same skill, looking quite lonely.

Qiao Sang watched for a while, unable to help but sigh inwardly.

Even if there had been a chance for Thunder Treasure to appear before, after her bye in this round, there was absolutely no chance now. After all, among the top forty contestants, she was likely the only one still possessing an entry-level pet.

Unless she didn't care about the score and, while certain the opponent was an entry-level pet, sent Thunder Treasure out.

But that didn't seem to have much meaning.

Thunder Treasure itself didn't seem to have much desire to battle, and she wasn't 100% sure she could win if she did send it out.

If she finally let Thunder Treasure battle and it lost, there was simply no need for that.

*If only Thunder Treasure could evolve into the entry-level tier during the competition... *

But forget evolving, it didn't even have a suitable training partner right now...

"Xia, Xia?"

Summer Xia Lala, who had been following along, looked in the same direction and asked: *What are you thinking about? *

"I was thinking that Thunder Treasure doesn't have a suitable training partner..." Qiao Sang voiced her thoughts.

"Xia, Xia."

Summer Xia Lala looked at the training Thunder Treasure, paused for two seconds, and indicated: *I'll train with it. *

Qiao Sang: "???"
