Chapter 1487: The Return of Jiu Bugu

~15 min read 2,883 words

Qiao Sang: "!!!"

"Super Xunxun!"

Little Xiao Xunbao let out a loud cry.

Someone had fallen!

After saying this, its eyes glowed with a blue light.

The next second, the young man was controlled by an invisible force, flipped over, and left face-up.

It could be seen that his complexion was blue, and he was foaming at the mouth.

"Super Xunxun!"

Little Xiao Xunbao let out another loud cry.

This person was poisoned!

The people and pet beasts passing by heard the cry; some took a glance and then turned their heads away, uninterested, to continue walking, while others first looked at the fallen young man and then at Little Xiao Xunbao, showing expressions of "making a mountain out of a molehill" before turning their heads to continue on their way.

Not a single person or pet beast stopped for this.

Lubao's eyes looked at the fallen human through the gap in the backpack's zipper; it hesitated for a moment, then reached out a claw, wanting to pull the zipper open.

Knowing that one could easily get food poisoning in the Yuan Kingdom if not careful, she hadn't expected to see one so soon... Qiao Sang's mouth twitched slightly, and she took out her phone, asking:

"Teacher, what is the number for the Yuan Kingdom's medical emergency center?"

Lubao's claw silently retracted.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala took a look at the poisoned young man and said calmly, "Don't worry about him; pet beasts will come to carry him away soon."

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment: "What kind of pet beasts?"

As soon as she finished speaking, two snake-type pet beasts with ambulance certifications hanging around their necks suddenly appeared from nowhere, carrying a stretcher; they skillfully used their tails to quickly roll the young man onto the stretcher and left nimbly.

"Yaya?"

Like Ya Bao showed a curious expression and let out a cry, asking who they were.

"What's going on?" Qiao Sang was bewildered for a moment and couldn't help but ask.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala smiled and said: "The Yuan Kingdom has numerous poison-type pet beasts. Besides food poisoning, there are various other ways to get poisoned, so rescue services are very well-developed here. Basically, as long as a person or pet beast falls down, they will be sent to a Beast Taming Center or hospital by rescue personnel within ten seconds."

Ten seconds? So fast? No one made a call, and those two pet beasts just now weren't psychic-type pet beasts either; how did they get here? A series of thoughts flashed through Qiao Sang's mind, which she finally gathered, and she asked:

"How do these rescue personnel manage to be so fast? Don't they stay at the Beast Taming Centers and hospitals?"

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala replied: "These are all part-time rescue personnel. Most people and pet beasts who want to earn some extra money in the Yuan Kingdom have taken this certification. Their main role is to transport poisoned people and pet beasts to treatment locations. As long as they are delivered in time and successfully resuscitated, 5% of the medical fees will be given to the rescue personnel who brought them in."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang felt a stir in her heart.

5% of the medical fees given to the rescue personnel—no wonder those two snake-type pet beasts could be so timely and proactive. Although it was easy to get poisoned in the Yuan Kingdom, if rescue was always like this, it seemed there was no need to worry too much about life-threatening danger.

"Super Xunxun!"

Little Xiao Xunbao's eyes suddenly lit up, and it raised a claw and let out a cry, indicating that it also wanted to be rescue personnel!

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala used her eyes to gesture toward the direction some passersby and pet beasts were walking and continued:

"See those people and pet beasts carrying backpacks? Most of them have stretchers in their bags, specifically so that if they encounter a poisoned target, they can transport them at any time."

Qiao Sang looked in that direction and, sure enough, saw a portion of the people and pet beasts carrying backpacks; they were basically walking in pairs, side by side.

"Super Xunxun?"

Little Xiao Xunbao showed a thoughtful expression and let out a cry, asking if it should also buy a stretcher; it wouldn't cost much money, right?

"Qingqing."

Seeing Qingbao showed an "are you stupid" expression and let out a cry.

You can use Teleport and Space Shift; why would you need a stretcher? Wouldn't it be better to just teleport the poisoned target over?

"Super Xunxun~"

Little Xiao Xunbao's eyes lit up, showing an "oh, right" expression.

Seeing Little Xiao Xunbao looking as if it were about to throw itself into the rescue business immediately, Qiao Sang couldn't help but remind it: "Don't forget, your main task is still to participate in more competitions and accumulate popularity."

"Super Xunxun~"

Little Xiao Xunbao let out a cry, indicating that of course it wouldn't forget.

Qiao Sang felt relieved. What Little Xiao Xunbao cared about most was being genuinely liked by everyone. Even if it occasionally took time to work part-time as rescue personnel, with its Space Shift ability, it shouldn't take up much time.

After only about half a minute, Teacher Mi Mi Jiala stopped and said:

"We've arrived at the hotel."

Qiao Sang looked up and saw a black building in front of her that looked like a giant iron box. Apart from the sign that read "Non-Toxic Hotel," there were no other colors. It looked extremely oppressive, especially against the backdrop of the overcast sky, a bit like a scene from a horror movie.

"This hotel... is quite unique..." Qiao Sang managed to squeeze out after a long while.

"Super Xunxun..."

Little Xiao Xunbao swallowed hard and let out a cry, asking if there would be ghosts inside...

Seeing Qingbao rolled its eyes.

"Tingting?"

Little Tingbao showed a puzzled expression and let out a cry, asking, "Boss, you're a ghost-type yourself, are you still afraid of ghosts?"

Little Xiao Xunbao's body suddenly stiffened, and then it held its head high and let out a cry:

"Super Xunxun~"

Of course it wasn't afraid.

Seeing Qingbao rolled its eyes again.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala said: "Although this hotel looks a bit ugly, all the materials inside are poison-proof. It is the safest hotel in the Yuan Kingdom."

After saying this, she walked in first.

Qiao Sang and Like Ya Bao and the others hurriedly followed.

Once inside, she felt as if her vision suddenly cleared. The lobby was luxuriously decorated, and many of the materials inside looked like they were made of marble and crystal, completely different from the outside.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala went to the front desk to check in.

A grass-type working pet beast wearing black gloves handed over a piece of paper and let out a cry:

"Dudu."

While speaking, a drop of saliva accidentally dripped down and landed on the paper.

"Chi..."

Where the saliva landed, a hole was instantly corroded.

Qiao Sang: "..."

"Dudu." The grass-type working pet beast showed an embarrassed expression, let out a cry, and then replaced it with a brand-new piece of paper.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala filled it out calmly, as if nothing had just happened.

Qiao Sang leaned over and lowered her voice: "Teacher, is this hotel really safe? I see that most of the working pet beasts here seem to be poison-type pet beasts."

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala, while filling out the form, said with a laugh:

"Don't worry, this has been hailed as the safest hotel in the Yuan Kingdom for years. Poison-type pet beasts are the main members of this country and also its main feature. Basically, there are poison-type pet beasts in every industry. You don't need to fear their poison; the most poisonous parts of them have already been sealed."

Sealed? Qiao Sang looked at the black gloves worn by the front desk pet beast, and then looked at the pet beasts busy around them.

She saw some working pet beasts wearing muzzles, some wearing tail covers, and there was even a pet beast wearing black armor all over its body, revealing only its eyes and mouth.

Seeing someone looking over, the pet beast grinned, revealing sharp teeth, with a bit of saliva connecting the upper and lower teeth. Because it was also wearing a face mask, no facial expression could be seen, making the smile look somewhat ferocious.

Qiao Sang: "..."

"Yaya!"

Like Ya Bao looked at the pet beast not far away showing a "ferocious" smile, showed a vigilant expression, and let out a cry.

The pet beast wearing black armor all over its body restrained its smile and turned to leave silently; its back looked very lonely.

"It should have just been expressing friendliness just now," Qiao Sang said.

"Yaya?"

Like Ya Bao was stunned for a moment and let out a cry.

Was that friendliness?

"Super Xunxun~"

Little Xiao Xunbao nodded and let out a cry.

It was friendliness; it could feel that the other party had no malice.

It really was no malice. Wearing armor all over like this, I wonder what kind of pet beast it is... Qiao Sang thought to herself, looking at the pet beast wearing black armor gradually walking away.

Just as she was thinking, Teacher Mi Mi Jiala walked over and said:

"Let's go, check-in is done."

Room 1109.

Closing the door.

"Qingqing..."

Seeing Qingbao took a deep breath and showed an "I'm finally alive" expression.

"Xia Xia?"

Xia Lala let out a thoughtful cry, asking if it was very uncomfortable just now?

"Qingqing."

Seeing Qingbao nodded and let out a cry, indicating that of course it was uncomfortable; the air smelled terrible.

"Xia Xia."

Xia Lala recalled for a moment and let out a cry, indicating that it was indeed a bit smelly.

Immediately after, it thought of something, the flower bud on its neck shook, and it silently emitted a fresh fragrance.

"Qingqing~"

Seeing Qingbao's nose twitched, its eyes lit up, and it stuck close to Xia Lala very honestly.

"Bingsheng."

Lubao let out a cry toward Little Xiao Xunbao.

"Super Xunxun~"

Little Xiao Xunbao took off the ring, enlarged it, and took out a water tank from inside.

Lubao opened its mouth, sprayed a stream of water, quickly filled the water tank, jumped in, and showed a comfortable expression.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala came to the floor-to-ceiling window and enjoyed the scenery outside for a while.

Qiao Sang remembered the important business, took out her phone, flipped to Shi Pante's contact information, and dialed it.

The "beep-beep" sound rang for a few seconds, and the call connected.

"Hello, Shi Pante? This is Qiao Sang."

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala instantly stopped enjoying the scenery, came to the side, and pricked up her ears.

Penjiamei took a look at its own Beast Tamer.

"Pei Shipan?" Shi Pante's impatient voice rang out.

"It's like this, it's been over a week, and Jiu Bugu still hasn't returned," Qiao Sang went straight to the point: "Can you help bring it back?"

There was no sound on the other end of the phone for a while. After about two seconds, Shi Pante's gloating voice rang out:

"Pei Shipan."

It actually stayed until now.

Qiao Sang heard that Shi Pante was somewhat gloating, and a bad premonition arose in her heart: "Yes, we think Jiu Bugu should come back."

"Pei Shipan."

Shi Pante's tone became impatient again, and it let out a cry, indicating it knew; in one minute, it would return to the original place.

After saying this, it hung up the phone directly.

"Shi Pante said Jiu Bugu will return to the original place in one minute," Qiao Sang put down her phone and said.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala nodded slightly and said: "As soon as Jiu Bugu appears, I will be able to sense it, and then I will summon it back directly."

Qiao Sang hesitated, not knowing whether to mention that Shi Pante was somewhat gloating. After thinking for a while, she closed her mouth and chose not to say anything.

Anyway, Jiu Bugu would be back soon; whatever the situation was, she could just ask directly.

One minute later, Teacher Mi Mi Jiala suddenly sensed something and formed seals with both hands.

A gorgeous and dazzling golden star formation lit up in the living room.

Not long after, Jiu Bugu appeared in the star formation.

It lay in the star formation, looking weak, appearing as if it had been seriously injured.

The moment it saw its own Beast Tamer, Jiu Bugu's eyes instantly filled with tears, and it let out a weak and excited cry:

"Jiujiu..."

Before it could finish speaking, it closed its eyes and fainted.

"Jiu Bugu!" Teacher Mi Mi Jiala's pupils shrank, and she shouted subconsciously.

Penjiamei showed a grave expression.

"Super Xunxun?"

Little Xiao Xunbao floated over, showed a surprised expression, and let out a cry, asking why it was injured?

It really was an accident... Qiao Sang turned her head and called out: "Lubao."

"Bingsheng."

Lubao poked its head out of the water tank, and the gem on its forehead glowed with a faint blue light, shining on Jiu Bugu's body.

Soon, the injuries on Jiu Bugu's body disappeared completely, and it slowly opened its eyes.

Lubao poked its head back into the water tank.

"What exactly happened? How could you be so seriously injured?" Teacher Mi Mi Jiala asked, frowning.

Jiu Bugu was already an Emperor-level pet beast; even among pet beasts of the same tier, it was a representative of combat power. She really couldn't figure out what kind of opponent it had encountered to become like that just now.

"Jiujiu..."

Jiu Bugu let out a heavy sigh and began to talk about its experience.

Just after it traveled through, it encountered two Emperor-level dragon-type pet beasts fighting...

"Jiujiu, jiujiu..."

Jiu Bugu talked on and on, sighing as it spoke.

"Super Xunxun..."

Little Xiao Xunbao showed a "you're so miserable" expression.

"Yaya..."

Like Ya Bao listened and showed a sympathetic expression.

"You mean that as soon as you traveled through, you were attacked by two Emperor-level dragon-type pet beasts at the same time, and then you fainted, and when you woke up, you stayed in the Beast Taming Center for treatment?" Qiao Sang couldn't help but confirm.

"Jiujiu."

Jiu Bugu nodded heavily.

Penjiamei cast a sympathetic look at it.

This is too miserable... Shi Pante wouldn't know what Jiu Bugu had been through, otherwise, why would it be so gloating... Qiao Sang sighed inwardly and spoke up, trying to ease the somewhat heavy atmosphere:

"I found that there are quite a lot of dragon-type Emperor-level pet beasts on Tianyuan Star. Last time after you traveled through, we went to soak in a hot spring, and the staff there said that this place was because a hundred years ago it suffered from two Emperor-level dragon-type..."

When Qiao Sang said this, she suddenly thought of something and hurriedly closed her mouth.

Emperor-level dragon-type pet beasts are pitifully rare. Two Emperor-level dragon-type pet beasts fighting, and both happened to be in the Li Kingdom a hundred years ago—how could there be such a coincidence? Jiu Bugu was probably beaten up by those two Emperor-level dragon-type pet beasts that developed the hot spring...

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala also thought of this, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Jiu Bugu became complicated.

"Yaya?"

Fortunately, before Jiu Bugu could think too much, Like Ya Bao let out a cry, indicating that you didn't do anything, just lay there—didn't you travel through in vain?

Too blunt, Like Ya Bao... Qiao Sang thought to herself.

"Jiujiu."

Jiu Bugu let out a cry, indicating that it wasn't that it didn't do anything.

"Besides lying in the Beast Taming Center, what else did you do?" Teacher Mi Mi Jiala asked.

"Jiujiu."

Jiu Bugu let out a cry, indicating that when it was lying there, it asked a fellow patient to help it contact the Smiling Night Spirit. If there were no accidents, the other party should still have the Smiling Night Spirit's contact information now.

Qiao Sang was stunned: "It's been a hundred years. Even if it contacted the Smiling Night Spirit, the contact information must be gone long ago. And even if it still kept it, how would you contact it?"

"Jiujiu."

Jiu Bugu let out a cry, indicating that it had no money to pay the medical fees, and it was all paid for by that fellow patient. It told it that its Beast Tamer was Teacher Mi Mi Jiala, and she would help pay back the medical fees.

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala: "???"

"Jiujiu."

Jiu Bugu added a cry.

Based on its understanding of its own Beast Tamer, she would definitely treat this as a scam call, but the call records at that time would be saved. The fellow patient couldn't contact its Beast Tamer, so it would definitely turn to frantically contacting the Smiling Night Spirit.

The Smiling Night Spirit couldn't possibly give money, so the fellow patient would definitely keep its contact information all along.

Qiao Sang: "..."

Teacher Mi Mi Jiala: "..."

Penjiamei: "..."
