The brilliance of the light nearly blinded the eyes of everyone and their contracted beasts.

This was… The group huddled around Yabao for warmth froze for a moment, their minds blank as they stared at the dazzling scene before them.

She really evolved… Mikayla gazed at the light in front of her. Even though she had already suspected it might happen, her expression still turned momentarily blank.

She had seen many General-level beasts evolve into King-level beasts before. But the one in front of her was an Ice Aipalu, who had only advanced to General-level six months ago on Chaosu Star. 

Her Beast Master was none other than the still-underage Qiao Sang.

All these details combined made the situation feel almost unreal to her.

“Yap!”

Seeing that light, Yabao’s first reaction was excitement.

“Xun xun…”

Little Treasure floated nearby, thought for a moment, then suddenly called out, as if asking: Big Brother Yabao, does this mean you’re no longer the boss now?

“Yap…”

Yabao’s excitement abruptly halted. His eyes, fixed on the white radiance, gradually filled with fighting spirit.

Gangbao glanced silently at Little Treasure.

Noticing her gaze, Little Treasure suddenly realized something. He tugged Gangbao aside, lowered his voice, and called out seriously: “Xun xun!”

Even if Lubao evolves, I’ll always be your boss, got it!

“Gang Zhan.”

Gangbao nodded.

Little Treasure was satisfied.

“Boss, did your beast just… evolve?” Yuan Jiewen finally recovered from his shock. His tone carried both disbelief and admiration.

Qiao Sang took a deep breath, answering proudly with a simple, “Yes.”

Big Boss really is Boss… Yuan Jiewen was full of admiration. Then a thought struck him, and he lowered his voice to ask: “What was the condition for this evolution?”

“In weather below minus 60 degrees, it needs to feel intense excitement.” Qiao Sang replied, her eyes locked on the white light glowing in the river.

Yuan Jiewen froze, blurting out, “What kind of twisted condition is that?!”

After a pause, realization dawned on him.

“No wonder you just had everyone use cold-type skills…”

The others also came to their senses. Hearing this, they quickly ordered their beasts to pour more energy into the skills they had been using earlier.

They had thought Lubao would be the hardest to evolve, yet she was the first to reach King-level… Qiao Sang’s heart swelled with emotion.

The silhouette within the white glow gradually grew larger.

After about half a minute, the light faded.

Before their eyes stood a beast about twelve meters long, its body nearly covered in deep-blue scales. Embedded between its brows was a snowflake-shaped white gem. 

Fine scales overlapped at the top of its head like armor, while its abyssal eyes seemed capable of drawing in one’s very soul. 

Behind it swayed three striking tails, one covered in blue scales with purple stripes, one in white scales with deep-blue markings, and the last in violet scales patterned with black streaks.

“Lu Di.”

Lubao looked at her Beast Master with eyes that curved like crescents, letting out a resonant call.

The sound echoed like it had come from the depths of the ocean, pure and ethereal, rippling straight through the soul.

What a beautiful cry… Nearly everyone was momentarily entranced by it.

Ice Emperor Ram, Lubao’s evolved form of the Ice Aipalu. Qiao Sang’s gaze burned with exhilaration as she looked upon Lubao’s transformed appearance.

Now, she too had a King-level beast!

All the wild pet beasts nearby stared at Lubao, seemingly captivated by her majesty.

The blizzard and rain abruptly ceased.

The icy crust around them slowly melted away.

“Yap!”

Yabao growled impatiently.

The group, still clinging to his legs for warmth, suddenly realized and quickly let go.

Lubao stepped out of the river, her massive frame gradually shrinking until she stood beside her Beast Master.

Everyone’s eyes followed her every movement.

An eerie silence fell over the scene.

This mission was worth it after all… Qiao Sang steadied her excitement, looked at the surrounding wild beasts, and said: “Thank you for using your skills earlier. We’ll be leaving now.”

But the wild pet beasts still stared at Lubao, utterly entranced.

“Lu Di.”

At that moment, Lubao let out another call.

Only then did the wild pet beasts snap out of it. One after another, they showed reluctant expressions. Some even rushed forward to stand beside Lubao, tears streaming down their faces.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang sighed inwardly. So everything I just said, none of you were even listening, huh…

“Xun xun…”

Little Treasure floated over, patted his Beast Master’s shoulder, and called out with a knowing look, as if to say, I understand your feelings completely.

Qiao Sang: …

“Armor.”

At that moment, the Water Carapace Warrior spoke up.

“Yap!”

Yabao immediately translated.

It says we can take all the leftover tree fruits for Lubao to eat.

Turning her head, Qiao Sang saw the pile of fruits stacked up like half a small hill. She was touched, and said warmly, “No, it’s okay. You all still need food as well.”

If this had been said ten minutes earlier, Qiao Sang would’ve accepted without hesitation.

But now that Lubao had evolved, and with the help of these wild pet beasts at that, she felt embarrassed to take their food.

“Armor.”

The Water Carapace Warrior rolled its eyes.

You’re rolling your eyes at me? Qiao Sang was dumbfounded.

Did she say something wrong?

“Yap.”

Yabao translated smoothly.

It says the fruits are for Lubao, not for you. Just accept them and stop being difficult.

“Yap!”

After translating, Yabao bared his teeth at the Water Carapace Warrior.

Show some respect to my Beast Master!

The Water Carapace Warrior chose to ignore him.

Qiao Sang: …

“Lu Di.”

Lubao glanced at the Water Carapace Warrior and called out, meaning: My Beast Master said to leave the fruits for you, so that’s final.

“Armor!”

The Water Carapace Warrior instantly straightened up, its expression turning solemn.

Understood!

“Yap.”

Yabao translated.

Alright, so when I said it, it didn’t matter. But when Lubao says it, it’s law… Qiao Sang muttered in her heart, before saying again: “We’re leaving now.”

She leapt onto Yabao’s back.

“Lu Di.”

After soothing the tearful wild pet beasts around her, Lubao lightly hopped into her Beast Master’s backpack.

Finally, we’re leaving this cursed place… The others shook off their daze from Lubao’s evolution and hurriedly formed seals, summoning their flying-type beasts, afraid they’d be left behind.

Mikayla glanced at Yabao, then chose to sit on Yuan Jiewen’s flying beast instead.

“Yap!”

Yabao called out, preparing to run upward.

“Armor!”

Suddenly, the Water Carapace Warrior shouted.

Everyone’s faces instantly changed.

Were the wild pet beasts going to turn on them after all…?

“Yap.”

Yabao translated after a glance.

It says it’s too dangerous outside. The younger ones will escort us out.

At the same time, every beast present translated the same thing for their Beast Masters.

The group froze, filled with disbelief.

After a short silence, Qiao Sang said, “Thank you.”

“Armor.”

The Water Carapace Warrior struck a handsome pose.

“Lu Di.”

Lubao poked her head out of the backpack and called softly to it.

“Armor~”

The Water Carapace Warrior’s expression instantly softened, voice turning sweet, as if to say, This is only natural, don’t mention it.

Qiao Sang almost couldn’t bear to watch anymore. She patted Yabao’s back.

“Yap!”

Yabao understood and dashed upward.

The others quickly followed.

The Water Carapace Warrior nodded at the flock of bird-type beasts present.

Dozens of them spread their wings and soared upward in unison.
