The pet before them stood about 80 centimeters tall, possessing a sky-blue body. It had cyan, curled ears on both sides of its head, with a ring of white clouds connecting the ears to the base of its skull.
Another ring of white clouds adorned its wrists. There was a white pattern in the center of its head, and cyan markings stretched from its lower neck to its abdomen. Its lower body was covered by fluffy white clouds, and its pair of cyan eyes was exceptionally pure.
Everyone's eyes lit up instantly, followed by a flurry of frantic photography.
"Xun xun!"
Little Treasure, remembering his Beast Master's previous instructions, floated around Qingbao in a 360-degree orbit, performing camera movements.
"Xun xun..."
But then, as Little Treasure drifted closer to Qingbao for a shot, he suddenly felt something was off. He put down the phone, looked at Qingbao in front of him, then looked down at himself. He moved a bit closer and used his paws to gesture at the difference in their sizes.
A bolt from the blue!
Little Treasure felt as if an arrow had pierced his heart. With a face full of disbelief and looking deeply traumatized, he took a step back.
Now even the fifth child is bigger than him?!
"Qing qing~"
Qingbao turned into wind and vanished. Soon, she reappeared beside Qiao Sang, affectionately nuzzling her cheek. At the moment she touched the Sky Cloud Crystal, her trust in her Beast Master had reached a full 100%.
Yu Ke and Yu Le watched with envy, but more than that, they were filled with excitement. Even the elders of their family had never personally witnessed a legendary pet evolve before their eyes.
Mikayla put away her camera, suppressing the urge to pet Qingbao, and said, "Since Qing qing Ni has successfully evolved, I'll go contact the people at the school to have them come for an inspection."
Feeling the softness against her cheek, Qiao Sang's face was split into a wide grin. She giggled and replied with a happy "Okay."
Mikayla turned and left.
Quick, let me hold her, Ye Xiangting said, walking closer.
"Qing qing~"
Without waiting for Qiao Sang to speak, Qingbao turned and floated into Ye Xiangting's arms. She hadn't forgotten that this was her Beast Master's mother.
She was still so cute after evolving... Holding Qingbao, Ye Xiangting’s heart melted. Many pets are soft and cute when young, but few remain so after evolving, especially when moving from Mid-level to High-level, where they often grow to over three meters and lose their tiny feel.
Qingbao, however, wasn't much different from her Breezewing Nini stage and was just as endearing.
Then she thought of something and asked, "What is this form called?"
You actually don't know the name of Breezewing Nini's evolved form... Yu Ke and Yu Le looked over with synchronized expressions of shock.
"She is called a Qinyin Fairy." Qiao Sang answered.
The Qinyin Fairy is the High-level form of Breezewing Nini. They love to fly by turning into wind, hiding within it so that they are rarely seen by others.
The experts researching legendary pets had sent not just resources but also records on this species. Qiao Sang had studied them diligently and memorized the names of the entire evolution chain.
"It sounds quite nice." Ye Xiangting praised, stroking the white clouds on Qingbao’s lower body.
"Qing qing~"
Qingbao narrowed her eyes, responding to the praise.
She seems to be in a great mood... Feeling the pleasant evening breeze, Qiao Sang noted that Qingbao’s patience had improved significantly. If her mom had petted her this long in the past, she likely would have vanished into wind long ago.
"By the time the people from the Imperial Beast University get here and develop energy pills, it’ll take quite a while." Liu Yao said, putting away his equipment.
"I happen to have some energy pills suitable for general High-level Fairy-type pets. They should be better than the ones she ate at the Mid-level stage. Want to use them as a transition for Qingbao?"
Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up. "Of course, that would be great!"
Liu Yao smiled. "Then I’ll bring them to you tomorrow."
"Qing qing~"
Qingbao understood and gave Liu Yao a sweet smile. Liu Yao was momentarily stunned, then reached out with a laugh to pat Qingbao’s head. She didn't refuse.
To think the Wind God Cloud, known in legends as the God of Disaster, would be this well-behaved in her earlier forms... Liu Yao felt the softness under his hand and marveled inwardly.
Seeing everyone else getting to touch the Qinyin Fairy, Yu Ke finally couldn't help herself. She stepped forward and asked, "I... can I pet her?"
Even though she was already familiar with Qiao Sang, the thought of touching a legendary Qinyin Fairy made her incredibly nervous.
Qiao Sang looked at Qingbao.
"Qing qing~"
Qingbao nodded.
At that, Yu Ke felt like her heart stopped for a second. She reached out with a trembling hand to pet Qingbao. The moment she made contact, a single thought flashed through her mind: Life is worth living.
"I! I want to pet her too!" Seeing Yu Ke succeed, Yu Le rushed forward impatiently. Qingbao didn't refuse her either.
The group surrounded Qingbao, touching her clouds, her paws, and her head, almost petting her from top to bottom.
"Qing qing..."
Qingbao was in a great mood due to the evolution and smiled sweetly at first, but eventually, her smile became a bit strained. Even so, she didn't vanish into wind as she usually did.
Qiao Sang felt the rising wind around them, brushed the hair out of her eyes, and coughed. "Since Qingbao's evolution was a success, I'll be heading back now."
As soon as she spoke, the strong wind died down instantly, becoming a gentle evening breeze. Yu Ke and Yu Le tried every way to convince her to stay.
Qiao Sang coolly refused and said, "Mom, Vice Principal, I'll see you back then."
"No need, I'll head back on my own." Liu Yao smiled.
"Then see you tomorrow."
"Xian xian."
Beside him, the Sky Bat flapped its wings, its eyes glowing blue. In the next second, it vanished along with Liu Yao.
Qiao Sang turned and called out, "Little Treasure."
"Xun xun..."
Little Treasure floated over listlessly, his eyes glowing blue. Then, the large outdoor training ground was left with only Yu Ke and Yu Le. The two looked at the empty space, feeling a void in their hearts.
---
"It's fine, God Qiao is coming back tomorrow anyway!" Yu Le encouraged. The Qinyin Fairy tomorrow can definitely still be seen!
Yu Ke nodded slightly. "You're right."
Just then, the Hu Ji Tiger walked over and pressed a button on its wrist device. Suddenly, a virtual screen appeared in mid-air, playing the scene of Qingbao’s evolution reveal, complete with high-energy BGM and close-up shots.
"When did you make this?" Yu Ke asked in pleasant surprise.
"Hu ji." The Hu Ji Tiger pointed toward the security room.
"You did this in the security room just now?"
The tiger nodded.
"Sis! A raise! You have to give this Hu Ji Tiger a raise!" Yu Le shouted.
Yu Ke affirmed, "A raise! It must be a raise!"
"Hu ji." The tiger’s expression remained calm as it waved its paw, indicating it wasn't necessary. As a qualified housekeeper, bringing joy to the employer was part of the job; no extra pay required.

2:00 AM. Pet Center. Room 2603.
Little Treasure had already forgotten about Qingbao being bigger than him and began practicing his Barrier, wanting to earn more applause in the matches.
Qiao Sang lay in bed, her consciousness entering the Beast Codex, quickly flipping to Qingbao’s page.

8th: Overconfidence - Grade: A (1/10000). Status: Extremely useful. Intro: After defeating an opponent, attack power increases.
Skills: Fairy Wind (Proficient 203/500)+, Charm (Proficient 5166/10000)+, Misty Terrain (Beginner 1/100)+, Tailwind (Ultimate 10001/20000)+, Draining Kiss (Beginner 54/100)+, Finger Command (Beginner 3/100)+, Charming Voice (Beginner 13/100)+, Flatter (Beginner 1/100)+, Power Swap (Beginner 1/100)+, Dazzling Gleam (Beginner 1/100)+
Qiao Sang stared at Qingbao’s two new characteristics in silence. Moody and Overconfidence. One was S-grade and one was A-grade, but they both felt like they didn't fit Qingbao at all.
Previously, when Qingbao awakened two S-grade characteristics at once, Qiao Sang’s tolerance had increased, so she wasn't particularly shocked.
Moody made sense if she thought about it, even if Qingbao could control her face, her mood affected the surrounding wind. But Overconfidence... she concluded that characteristic awakening was quite random and wasn't entirely tied to the species traits or personality.
She analyzed Overconfidence. While it increases attack, it only works after defeating an opponent. Since most of her matches were 1v1, it wouldn't be very useful in the tournament, though it might be good in secret realms or wild group fights.
Qiao Sang’s eyes drifted to the three new skills. Flatter? Hmm? Flatter? Qiao Sang was confused. Flatter is a mid-tier Dark-type move that confuses the opponent but raises their Special Attack. What kind of decent pet awakens this! She isn't even Dark-type!
Suppressing her confusion, she looked at the other two. Power Swap (High-tier Psychic-type) uses psychic power to swap Attack and Special Attack changes with the opponent. Her eyes lit up.
This is a great skill! She could turn a disadvantage into an advantage! However, she had to be careful, if the opponent's power was too high, using their skills might drain her energy immediately.
The last one was Dazzling Gleam (High-tier Fairy-type). Finally, a skill that actually matches her attribute... Qiao Sang felt a relief. Tomorrow, she would have Qingbao get familiar with the new skills, it would add more offensive options. With Power Swap available, Qingbao wouldn't necessarily lose even if she faced a powerful opponent.
Qiao Sang exited the Beast Codex, saw Little Treasure practicing his Barrier, and closed her eyes to sleep.
Ten minutes later.
"Xun xun..."
Little Treasure felt tired. He glanced at his soundly sleeping Beast Master, and his eyes glowed blue. He controlled the phone on the nightstand to float over and began playing with it. I've trained long enough, I'll play for a while before getting back to it...

Morning.
Qiao Sang was awakened by the urgent ringing of her phone. She fumbled toward the sound, picked up the phone, and opened her eyes to look. The screen showed the caller was Yu Ke.
Qiao Sang answered: "What's wrong? Why are you calling me so early?"
Yu Ke's voice was frantic: "Something's happened!"
Qiao Sang was instantly wide awake: "Is your training ground no longer available?"
"No! It's the news that Breezewing Nini evolved into a Qinyin Fairy! It's been leaked by the paparazzi!" Yu Ke said.
"It's even trending on the hot searches!"
Qiao Sang: ???
