Whoa.
Honestly, Qiao Sang was stunned by the scene in front of her.
They had been arguing so intensely, like they were about to break up, and now, just like that, they made up?
What kind of skill is this?
Qiao Sang glanced at the long-eared pet beast beside her, thinking for a moment.
She realized she didn't even know what this creature was called, let alone what kind of skill it possessed.
Before she could think further, the man had already led the woman away, holding her hand, walking far off in the blink of an eye.
Maybe they were truly in love, and the pet beast was just a coincidence.
The man seemed to have completely forgotten he’d summoned this pet beast. He was strolling hand in hand with the woman up ahead, while the long-eared creature trotted along behind.
Seeing them about to walk out of sight, Qiao Sang quickly took out her phone, zoomed in with the camera, and snapped a picture of the pet beast's back.
Then she uploaded the photo online to search for information.
Even though it was just a rear view, there weren't many creatures with similar size, color, and features. Soon enough, Qiao Sang found details on this pet beast.
Chubby Drummer, a Normal-type pet beast native to the region of Lianbo. Known for drumming its belly to produce various rhythmic beats. This creature possesses a natural sense of musical rhythm.
Unfortunately, its drumbeats emit calming waves that make listeners feel at peace. No matter how explosive the beat, it just can’t hype people up.
So, basically, even if it drums away to some intense beat like 'Come on, Reverse War, Reverse War, here it comes, the Ace wants to go wild, roving the universe and leveling the world', others would hear it as mellow as 'Do you remember when you said home was the only castle, and to keep running along the river of rice paddies…' Qiao Sang snarked to herself.
Looks like that’s what made the woman forgive the man just now. This ability does seem to be a kind of healing skill.
As she thought about it, Qiao Sang’s eyes suddenly lit up, and her energy surged.
Right! Why hadn’t she thought of this before?
With so many strange pet beast abilities in the world, there’s bound to be a skill that would make Lubao forgive Yabao!
That way, there’d be no more tension in the team! And Yabao's training efficiency could even improve before the upcoming National Campus Beast Mastering League!

Back home, Qiao Sang immediately opened her computer.
She first looked up various mood-altering skills but found none that would be suitable for Lubao.
So, she logged into a forum and made her own post.
#I have a friend who just went through a breakup and wants to let go of the past, forgive her ex, and become friends again, just in a platonic way. Any skill suggestions?#
After a few seconds, a user replied:
“Imaginary friend?”
Qiao Sang: …
Ignoring the response, Qiao Sang worked on some assignments, and when she checked back, her post had gathered more replies.
“Another ‘I have a friend’ post…”
“Why cling so much, OP? If it’s over, let it be. Why stay friends?”
“Human Language Comprehension 101: ‘I have a friend’ = ‘myself’. ‘A fair statement’ = I’m taking their side. ‘Not a matter of money’ = it’s all about money.”
Full marks for reading comprehension… While impressed by this person’s understanding, Qiao Sang felt it necessary to clarify.
Just as she placed her hands on the keyboard, she noticed a few more earnest responses below, so she kept scrolling.
“How about mental hypnosis? It can subtly alter one’s thinking.”
Mental hypnosis would only be temporary. Although it could briefly change Lubao's mind, once the effects wore off, Lubao would probably blow up… Qiao Sang felt it wasn’t reliable.
“What about Causal Rewrite? All causality laws can be rewritten, definitely meets OP's needs.”
Causal Rewrite?
Could there really be such an incredible skill?
Qiao Sang paused, typing Causal Rewrite into the search engine.
“Causal Rewrite: A legendary divine skill that can rewrite the laws of physics and alter causality, changing any applicable causality laws.”
Note: Only a legend, never been seen.
After reading just a few lines, Qiao Sang nearly threw her keyboard!
Nothing practical at all!
Qiao Sang silently vented for several seconds before returning to her assignments. After finishing, she couldn’t resist checking the forum again.
Maybe she’d find something useful this time…
There were many more replies now.
Scrolling down several pages, Qiao Sang finally stopped at one.
“Healing Soundwave can help calm someone’s mood, letting them think clearly. You can take advantage of this peaceful state to talk to your ex and develop a purely platonic relationship.
> Just a heads up: Once the effect wears off, you might regret it and want to smack yourself. But by that time, you two might already have a friendly bond. If you’re okay with that, it should be fine.
> Friendly reminder: I messed up my college entrance exam, so I rented a pet beast with Healing Soundwave to calm my mom down. It worked, and she even made me dinner, telling me not to worry.
> But the effect only lasted an hour, and then you know the rest... Her anger exploded. But don’t worry too much; our situations are different.”
Isn’t this the skill Chubby Drummer used on the way back?
At first, Qiao Sang had considered using this on Lubao, but after looking up the skill in more detail at home, she saw its limitations.
Its short duration means it can’t be a one-and-done solution.
If she rented a pet beast with Healing Soundwave, it’d probably need to stay with them until the National Campus Beast Mastering League, and that wouldn’t be cheap.
Just as Qiao Sang silently dismissed the idea, she noticed a couple of replies below.
“The suggestion is good, but there aren’t many pet beasts with Healing Soundwave. Although it’s a mid-level skill, it’s mostly a rare innate talent for a few species. You’d probably have to post a bounty for it. To become just friends with an ex, the cost might not be worth it.”
“True, but it’s not as rare as you’re making it sound. ‘Pet Beast Weekly’ once wrote that any pet beast with a gentle temperament, a love of peace, and a good voice has a chance of learning Healing Soundwave.”
Gentle temperament, peace-loving… Why does that sound so familiar? Qiao Sang thought for a moment and froze.
Isn’t this exactly the description of Water Luriana she’d seen online before?!
And Lubao meets the vocal requirement too!
Doesn’t that mean Lubao has a chance of learning Healing Soundwave and could use it on herself and Yabao for healing?
The more Qiao Sang thought about it, the more this idea made sense!
Time to act!
Qiao Sang sprang up and quickly went to the yard, calling to Lubao, who was training.
"Let's learn a new skill!"
"Lu?
