Chapter 264: It Wasn't You, Was It?

"Ya."

Ya Bao's eyes glowed blue as it used telekinesis to send Little Xun Bao back, signaling it to train well and not slack off.

"Xun..."

Little Xun Bao was stunned for a moment.

What happened to the acting we agreed on?

"Lu Lu Lu!"

Shui Lu Ya Na pointed at the tiles it had just arranged and called out to Little Xun Bao.

Hurry up and train!

Little Xun Bao: "..."

Qiao Sang watched silently from not far away, wondering if it was her imagination, but she kept getting the déjà vu of a father and mother督促 their child to study...

That night, Little Xun Bao peeked at the doorway like a thief, making sure Shui Lu Ya Na wasn't in the living room, then turned its head and pouted, asking Ya Bao why it hadn't cooperated properly with the acting.

"Ya?" Ya Bao showed a puzzled expression.

"Xun xun!" Little Xun Bao began to complain.

Just now, in the courtyard!

"Ya..."

Ya Bao's eyes widened. So that was acting...

Qiao Sang, half-leaning against the headboard, put down her book and said almost simultaneously with Ya Bao: "So you were acting just now!"

"Xun..."

Little Xun Bao's body swayed, as if it had suffered a severe blow.

At this moment, Little Xun Bao developed deep doubts about its own acting skills.

"Actually, there's no rush," Qiao Sang said. "We need to wait until Shui Lu Ya Na's Healing Light proficiency reaches the Ultimate level before we put on an act for it. It's still early; let's do it in a few days."

Seeing that Little Xun Bao still looked deeply wounded after she finished speaking, she comforted it: "It's a good thing no one could tell you were acting just now. Otherwise, if Shui Lu Ya Na's Healing Light hadn't reached the Ultimate level yet and really evolved just like that, that wouldn't be great either."

"Ya!"

Ya Bao nodded vigorously in agreement.

"Xun..."

Little Xun Bao's body swayed once again.

Why does it feel even worse...

2:30 AM, deep in the night.

Little Xun Bao held a phone in the unlit living room, mimicking the actors in the videos and making all sorts of facial expressions.

It happened that Yang Du came out of his room yawning to use the bathroom.

He noticed the faint light downstairs, subconsciously walked to the railing and looked down, and immediately got a jolt, his sleepiness completely gone.

He saw the phone screen's light shining on the face of that Xun Bao Yao, which was several sizes smaller than normal, creating a very eerie atmosphere.

If it were only this, it would be fine. He had also come into contact with quite a few Ghost-type pet beasts and wouldn't be scared by this.

The problem was that this Xun Bao Yao had a sad expression one second, then suddenly changed its face and grinned broadly the next. The key point was that it didn't make a sound, just grinned silently, giving a particularly strong feeling of a horror movie coming to life.

Yang Du hurried back to his room, not even wanting to use the bathroom anymore.

Little Xun Bao practiced solemn expressions along with the actors in the video, completely unaware that it had just extinguished someone's urge to use the bathroom.

The next day.

Qiao Sang came to the classroom, where the study gods were meditating as always.

After morning self-study, a classmate in the class suddenly exclaimed: "Holy crap! Where's my breakfast?!"

Everyone turned their gaze: "What's up?"

"The breakfast I bought and put in my drawer is gone!"

The classmates in the class didn't believe this at all upon hearing it.

"No way, why don't you look again."

"Maybe you just didn't bring it to the classroom."

"Could it be you remembered wrong?"

Only Qiao Sang froze in place, a bad premonition rising in her heart.

She turned her head, half her face covered by her hand, and said softly: "It wasn't you, was it?"

No one answered.

After about half a minute, the classmate who had previously said his breakfast was lost exclaimed again: "What the heck, my breakfast is back!"

After saying that, he excitedly took the bag with the breakfast out of the drawer and opened it. The next second, his expression instantly collapsed.

A mournful voice rang through the classroom: "Who ate half of my breakfast!"

On this day, the news spread throughout the entire school: the pet beast that stole snacks from the Gao San section yesterday had very likely shifted its operations to the Gao Yi section.

6:57 PM.

Qiao Sang was doing homework in her room.

"Lu Lu Lu." Shui Lu Ya Na flowed in through the crack in the door, condensed into its original form, and nudged Qiao Sang with its paw.

Qiao Sang turned her head, stunned: "You're saying Prayer Rain?"

"Lu Lu Lu!"

Shui Lu Ya Na nodded, half-sitting on the ground and counting seriously on its paws.

It's been several days already!

"Er, I've thought of a way to learn Rain Prayer, but for now we still have to spend most of our time practicing Healing Light," Qiao Sang said.

"Lu Lu Lu!"

Shui Lu Ya Na put down the paw that was still counting and nodded, indicating no problem.

Qiao Sang put down her pen and brought Shui Lu Ya Na to a spot in the courtyard that hadn't been affected by the Mars rain, and said seriously: "To pray for rain, you must first transform clouds into dark clouds, and dark clouds are formed by condensed fog droplets. The first thing you need to do is figure out how to condense fog droplets."

"Lu Lu Lu?"

Shui Lu Ya Na cried out once, asking what fog droplets were.

"Fog droplets are the tiny water droplets that make up fog." Qiao Sang explained: "You know Water Mist, which is also a kind of fog, just in a different form. Try now to gather and condense the Water Mist as much as possible, and see if you can convert it into fog droplets."

"Lu Lu Lu!"

Shui Lu Ya Na nodded and immediately adjusted the energy within her body.

In no time, a layer of white, gauze-like mist enveloped the surroundings, and the air became much more humid.

"Lu Lu Lu..." Shui Lu Ya Na tried to condense the Water Mist.

Gradually, the color of the mist deepened, and the moisture in the air grew heavier and heavier.

But very quickly, the mist dissipated.

"Not bad, it seems the training direction is correct. With more practice, you should be able to convert it smoothly," Qiao Sang said with a smile.

"Lu Lu Lu!" Shui Lu Ya Na nodded vigorously — she thought so too!

"But for now, the main thing is still practicing Healing Light. If you want to practice Rain Prayer, wait until Xiao Xun Bao isn't breaking tiles," Qiao Sang reminded.

Actually, once you evolve, you can practice whenever you want... Qiao Sang added inwardly. She didn't dare say this in front of Shui Lu Ya Na, afraid it would remind her of those tragic evolution conditions.

"Lu Lu Lu!" Shui Lu Ya Na showed a "no problem" expression.

Over the next six days, Ya Bao, Xiao Xun Bao, and Shui Lu Ya Na's training all repeated itself.

Only with one more item added: sparring practice.

Originally, following the existing schedule, there really shouldn't have been time for sparring practice except on weekends.

But to make Shui Lu Ya Na's points increase quickly, Qiao Sang could only speed up her homework, finishing it an hour faster than before.

There was no choice — at Shui Lu Ya Na's current training progress, without the golden finger's boost, it would probably be very difficult to get Healing Light's proficiency up to Mastery before evolution.

Hong Ying Beast-Taming Battle Club, battle training room.

The sparring session was nearing its end. Qiao Sang checked the time and called out: "Water Jet."

The next moment, a little Fat Dove collapsed in front of Shui Lu Ya Na.

"Lu Lu Lu."

Shui Lu Ya Na flicked her tail and walked proudly over to Qiao Sang's side.

"Your little Fat Dove's speed is okay, but its flight path is a bit too predictable — easy to read at a glance," Qiao Sang pointed out the flaw.

The girl, who looked about 16 years old, was stunned for a moment, then showed a delighted expression: "My little Fat Dove's speed is okay, really?!"

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment: "Among the same species."

The girl: "......"

That evening, after washing up and returning to her room to lie in bed, Qiao Sang's consciousness entered the Beast-Taming Codex and turned to Shui Lu Ya Na's page, adding the points to Healing Light as she had the past few days.

Soon, the data before her eyes changed.

【Healing Light (Mastery/)+】

PS: I've had a fever these past two days, hitting 40 degrees this morning. I felt a bit better in the afternoon, so I hurried to write while I still had the energy, in case I suddenly can't again...
