"What is it going to do?" Mikayla asked.
Qiao Sang hesitated for a moment, then replied: "It might be looking for Yabao."
The two then followed the Little Thunder Dragon into the living room. Sure enough, they saw it crawling right onto Yabao's body, while Yabao continued to eat his energy pills with a thoroughly helpless expression.
Mikayla instantly believed Qiao Sang's earlier statement that the first creature the Little Thunder Dragon saw upon opening its eyes was Yabao, remarking with emotion:
"It seems the Little Thunder Dragon has taken the Blazing Divine Lion as its closest kin. However, this works out well too. The Blazing Divine Lion possesses the Flame Body trait, which is highly beneficial for the development of a cub."
Promptly remembering something, she asked: "Have you contacted Teacher Flauda yet?"
"No." Qiao Sang shook her head.
Mikayla turned her head to face the empty air on the side, saying: "Go bring Flauda over."
The voice of Spengami resonated out of nowhere from the thin air: "Peng, peng."
Qiao Sang suddenly recalled a certain matter, and couldn't help but ask: "Why is it that even though I've awakened Spirit Vision, I still can't see Spengami in her invisible state during normal times?"
Mikayla provided a textbook explanation:
"There are many ways for a pet to turn invisible. Some pets achieve invisibility by blending into their surrounding environment, while others achieve it through illusions and distorting themselves. There are also pets that naturally possess an invisibility trait from birth. Spirit Vision generally can only see pets that purely rely on an invisibility trait."
So that's how it is... Qiao Sang came to a sudden realization, and asked further: "Is Spengami's method of invisibility the same as the Hidden Shield Turtle's?"
Mikayla fell silent for a few seconds before answering: "No. Spengami belongs to the second type, while the Hidden Shield Turtle belongs to the third type."
Qiao Sang gave an "Oh."
The living room fell into a temporary silence, save for the sound of Yabao munching on his energy pills.
After a few seconds, Mikayla finally couldn't resist asking: "Why did you suddenly bring up the Hidden Shield Turtle?"
"Because the invisible pets I've seen that left the deepest impressions on me are just those few." Qiao Sang explained.
"Especially the Hidden Shield Turtle. It stays invisible the entire time, so I don't even know what it looks like."
Mikayla was just about to say something more, but right at that moment, Spengami materialized out of thin air in the living room, bringing along Flauda.
"The Little Thunder Dragon has already hatched?" Flauda asked, holding his testing equipment.
Mikayla gestured with her eyes toward Yabao's direction, saying: "Right over there."
Flauda's eyes lit up. Holding his equipment, he walked over to Yabao's side and reached his hand out toward the Little Thunder Dragon.
Mikayla spoke up: "Be care..."
Her voice came to an abrupt halt.
Flauda's hand made contact with the Little Thunder Dragon, yet the Little Thunder Dragon merely blinked its eyes open to glance at him, without displaying any resistance or manifesting lightning as she had expected.
"Be careful of what?" Flauda turned his head to ask.
Mikayla fell silent for a moment, then stated: "Be careful. It just hatched."
He is a Breeder, so how could he possibly not know that... Flauda complained inwardly, then nodded. He lifted the Little Thunder Dragon, placed it onto the floor, and began using his equipment to conduct an examination.
"Lei..."
As the cold sensation of the device pressed against it, the Little Thunder Dragon wore an unsatisfied expression, and a yellow electrical arc only as thick as a strand of hair flickered into view.
Seeing this, Mikayla's expression didn't change much, but her heart inexplicably felt a bit more comforted.
However, in the very next second, the tip of Yabao's tail stroked the Little Thunder Dragon's head with a comforting intent.
"Lei..."
As the familiar, warm touch spread, the Little Thunder Dragon wore a comfortable expression, and the yellow electrical arc on its body vanished completely.
"Xun... xun..."
Standing on the side, Little Treasure wore a deeply contemplative expression.
Looking at the Little Thunder Dragon's behavior, if his Beast Tamer were to contract it in the future, the probability of him taking it in as a lackey didn't seem very high. Compared to him, it clearly liked Big Brother Yabao much more.
Thinking up to this point, he couldn't help but let out a sigh.
If he hadn't been constantly obsessing over the Clothes-Changing Totem back then, he would have incubated this egg himself.
But right after, Little Treasure recalled his Destiny Bond trait and Shadow Penetration. He also remembered how Big Brother Yabao had been directly forced into his Blaze state by Destiny Bond during the competition, and he instantly perked up again.
Once he became stronger than Big Brother Yabao in the future, he wouldn't have to worry about lacking lackeys!
Filled with absolute drive, Little Treasure teleported away, going out to the open-air training ground to begin his training.
"Qing... qing..."
Qingbao looked at the Little Thunder Dragon, and then looked toward the direction of the open-air training ground, transforming into a gust of wind to follow him out.
Very quickly, wild winds raged violently across the open-air training ground.
Little Treasure trained to his heart's content amidst the howling gales.
Meanwhile, back inside the living room, Flauda finished his examination.
Setting his equipment down, he stated: "The Little Thunder Dragon's body is very healthy, there are no issues. However, at this current stage, it should still focus primarily on growing. Do not let it train skills, and do not let it come into contact with any electrical appliances."
"Why can't it come into contact with electrical appliances?" Qiao Sang was somewhat puzzled.
"The Electric-type energy currently inside its body cannot be controlled yet." Flauda explained.
"If it accidentally triggers the Electric-type energy within its body while touching an appliance, it might release lightning and cause the appliance to be destroyed."
Hearing this, Qiao Sang immediately spoke with a solemn expression: "I will absolutely not let it touch any electrical appliances."
Flauda smiled and said: "After some time passes and the Little Thunder Dragon can proficiently release its skills, there shouldn't be any issues anymore."
Qiao Sang nodded, indicating she understood.
Flauda continued: "Pets that have just hatched are best off not eating energy pills. Furthermore, the Little Thunder Dragon belongs to the Dragon-type, so it develops relatively slowly. I will formulate energy pills for it after two months have passed."
"For this current stage, I will prepare some easily digestible food for it, and I'll have it ready for you in the afternoon."
Qiao Sang said: "Thanks for the trouble, Teacher."
Promptly remembering something, she asked: "What is the Little Thunder Dragon's gender?"
"It's a male." Flauda said.
While the two were talking, the Little Thunder Dragon had already crawled right back onto Yabao's body.
Once Flauda left, Mikayla refused to give up. Walking over to the Little Thunder Dragon's side, she extended her hand.
At this time, the Thunder Dragon cub wasn't asleep. It stared at the approaching hand, and without a second word, crackling yellow electrical arcs surfaced across its body.
The power of the electrical arcs was practically non-existent to Yabao, he felt nothing at all, and even let out a full-bellied burp.
Mikayla retracted her hand without making a sound.
She now seriously suspected that the Little Thunder Dragon held a grudge against her. But that shouldn't be the case, this was only the very first time she and the Little Thunder Dragon had ever met...
Noticing her gaze, the Little Thunder Dragon silently shifted its body, turning its tail toward Mikayla.
Mikayla: ...

At noon, Qiao Sang sat by the dining table, enjoying her lunch.
Yabao and the others were eating their energy pills.
Meanwhile, the Little Thunder Dragon snuggled right against Yabao, wrapping his tail around his milk bottle while drinking.
After Yabao finished his energy pills, he walked toward the open-air training ground.
The Little Thunder Dragon silently followed behind him.
"Little Thunder Dragon." Qiao Sang called out.
The Little Thunder Dragon turned his head.
"Come over to my side, okay?" Qiao Sang asked, wearing a warm smile.
When Yabao trained, the destruction to the grounds was far too severe. If the Little Thunder Dragon were to be accidentally caught in the crossfire, it wouldn't be good.
Hearing the familiar voice, the Little Thunder Dragon hesitated for a moment, and then turned around while clutching his milk bottle, crawling toward Qiao Sang.
He really is quite well-behaved... Qiao Sang felt immensely comforted inside.
Right then, the phone resting on the dining table rang.
The Little Thunder Dragon's gaze was instantly drawn over to it.
Qiao Sang took a glance at the caller ID, picking it up to answer the call.
"Have you eaten lunch?" Her mother's voice came through from the speaker.
"I'm eating right now."
Qiao Sang said. Looking at the Little Thunder Dragon beside her, she added: "Mom, your call came at the perfect time. I actually have something to tell you."
"What is it?" Ye Xiangting asked.
"Do you remember the Little Thunder Dragon egg from the regional competition reward? It hatched last night."
"That quickly!" Ye Xiangting was both pleasantly surprised and caught off guard.
Qiao Sang gave an "Mm," and then switched on the video call feature, pointing the screen straight at the Little Thunder Dragon.
"Lei..."
The Little Thunder Dragon looked at himself in the video call, freezing for a moment with an utterly adorable, dazed expression.
"This is my first time seeing a Little Thunder Dragon, it looks so cute!" Ye Xiangting spoke with a fair amount of excitement.
Following that, she remembered something and voiced her concern: "You don't have a new contract page right now, so what are you going to do with the Little Thunder Dragon?"
Qiao Sang turned the camera back around and said: "I'll just keep it by my side for now, and contract it when I'm able to. As you know, I'm already a B-rank Beast Tamer. Even if a pet isn't contracted, I can still carry it around with me."
While they were talking, the Little Thunder Dragon set down his milk bottle, shifted his body, and crawled onto Qiao Sang's shoulder, continuing to stare intently at the screen to look at himself inside.
Hearing this, Ye Xiangting set her mind at ease. Catching sight of the Little Thunder Dragon appearing on the screen once more, she smiled and said: "It looks like it has a very good relationship with you."
"Of course." Qiao Sang stated in a proud tone.
"I've always been very popular with pets. Last time when I was in the Zidia region, a wild Ghost-type pet even wanted to contract with me."
"Speaking of which, I heard people say." Ye Xiangting gossiped.
"Did you defeat an A-rank Beast Tamer in the Zidia region? Is that true?"
Qiao Sang: ...
Qiao Sang explained: "That Beast Tamer..."
At the same time, the Little Thunder Dragon's head slowly leaned closer toward the screen.
"Xun... xun~"
Standing on the side, Little Treasure seemed to discern the Little Thunder Dragon's intention, letting out a cry toward him.
The Little Thunder Dragon halted his movements and looked over.
"Xun... xun~"
Seeing this, Little Treasure's heart stirred. He suddenly felt that poaching this lackey didn't seem entirely impossible. Unfastening his ring, he pulled out his own phone from inside, brandishing it toward the Little Thunder Dragon.
The Little Thunder Dragon stared at the phone for two seconds, shifted his body, and crawled toward Little Treasure, arriving right by his side.
"Xun... xun?
Little Treasure let out a cry, asking if he wanted to play.
"Lei."
The Little Thunder Dragon nodded his head.
"Xun... xun~"
Little Treasure brandished the phone once more, letting out a cry to indicate that he would let him play if he called him boss.
"Lei, lei."
The Little Thunder Dragon didn't understand what boss meant, but he still exerted effort to mimic the pronunciation, letting out a cry.
"Xun... xun~"
Little Treasure grew joyful, handing the phone over.
Gangbao, who was eating her energy pills, lifted her head and happened to witness this exact scene.
She suddenly recalled the words that the Breeder had said, and wanted to speak up to warn him: "Gang..."
However, by this time, the Little Thunder Dragon's tail had already wrapped around the phone.
Nothing happened.
Gangbao fell silent for a brief moment, and ignoring the matter further, she lowered her head to continue eating her energy pills.
"Xun... xun~"
Seeing that the Little Thunder Dragon didn't have paws to play on the phone, Little Treasure kindly took the phone away from his tail, placing it down right in front of the cub as he let out a cry, indicating it was more convenient to use his tail to play if it was resting on the table.
As he spoke, he even pointed toward the Little Thunder Dragon's tail.
"Lei."
The Little Thunder Dragon mirrored Little Treasure's guidance, using the tip of his tail to touch the phone.
The exact instant the tip of his tail made contact with the phone, electrical currents surged.
With a loud bang, the phone exploded into pieces.
"Xun... xun!!!"
Little Treasure erupted into an earth-shattering wail.
Qiao Sang was startled, turning her head to look over.
"What happened? Why did I hear an explosion?" Ye Xiangting asked with concern from the other end of the line.
"It's nothing, just a phone exploded." Qiao Sang said after calming down.
Ye Xiangting: ???
Qiao Sang chatted casually with her mother for a few more sentences before hanging up the phone.
"Xun... xun!"
"Xun... xun!"
Hovering beside the phone fragments, Little Treasure buried his head in his paws, weeping bitterly while pounding the table.
"Lei..."
Standing on the side, the Little Thunder Dragon wore a completely bewildered look.
Qiao Sang massaged her temples, saying with a bit of a headache:
"I forgot to tell you. While you were out training earlier, Teacher Flauda said we cannot let the Little Thunder Dragon come into contact with electrical appliances. At present, the Electric-type energy inside his body cannot be controlled very well yet. If he touches one, it might trigger the energy, releasing lightning and causing the appliance to explode."
"Xun... xun!"
"Xun... xun!"
After listening, Little Treasure cried even louder.
He didn't know!
Gangbao buried her head to eat her energy pills, pretending that she also knew absolutely nothing about it.
"Qing... qing..."
Seeing this scene, Qingbao inexplicably felt comforted inside, and a gentle breeze began to blow all around.
Forget it, Little Treasure is already this miserable, I won't summon wild winds next to him in the future anymore.
Right then, Qiao Sang spoke up: "Stop crying. I can buy you a new phone."
Little Treasure stopped crying, snapping his head up.
"The prerequisite is that you have to earn it yourself." Qiao Sang smiled.

Night, 9:30 PM.
Positioned in front of the laptop, Little Treasure was earnestly looking through the tasks he could accept on the Imperial Beast University's official website.
His Beast Tamer had said that as long as he earned 1000 points, she would buy him a new phone. He had to work hard to earn points.
"Lei..."
The Little Thunder Dragon slowly shifted over to Little Treasure's side.
"Xun... xun!"
Hearing the movement, Little Treasure turned his head. Seeing that it was the Little Thunder Dragon, he caught a fright, quickly gathering up the laptop and teleporting into mid-air, using his telekinesis to keep the laptop floating while he searched for tasks.
The Little Thunder Dragon lifted his head. Staring at Little Treasure and the computer for two seconds, he began to exert his strength, attempting to hop into mid-air.
He continuously tried to jump.
However, at most, he could only manage to get the tip of his tail about one centimeter off the ground.
Little Treasure looked down. Setting his mind at ease, he continued to review the tasks he could accept.
"Lei, lei..."
The Little Thunder Dragon grew increasingly frustrated as he kept jumping, and yellow electrical arcs surfaced across his body.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past, wrapping hi, up into mid-air.
The Little Thunder Dragon seemed to sense something, turning his head to look over.
"Qing... qing."
Qingbao flashed a sweet smile toward him.
"Lei, lei..."
Mirroring Qingbao's expression, the Little Thunder Dragon tried hard to crack open his mouth into a grin.
The gentle breeze rippled, delivering him right to Little Treasure's side.
"Xun... xun!"
Startled out of his wits, Little Treasure hurriedly teleported away along with the laptop.
"Qing... qing!"
Seeing Little Treasure's state, Qingbao couldn't resist clutching her stomach as she burst out into loud laughter.
"Lei, lei!"
Seeing Qingbao laughing, the Little Thunder Dragon seemed to be infected by it, and began to laugh loudly as well.
"Xun... xun..."
Little Treasure wore a helpless expression, his paw making contact with the laptop.
In the very next second, he went invisible along with the computer.
"Lei, lei!" the Little Thunder Dragon was still laughing loudly.
Qingbao:...
Qingbao's personality changes really are getting bigger and bigger... Qiao Sang held her book, unable to resist sighing with emotion inwardly.
Suddenly, her phone vibrated once.
Qiao Sang picked it up to take a look.
It was a notification sent from the official backend of the Imperial Beast University: [Dear Student Qiao Sang, your reserved Energy Bath slot will open tomorrow morning at 9:00 AM sharp. Please bring your student card and arrive at the Energy Hall on time.]
Tomorrow... Qiao Sang's eyes lit up. Setting her phone down, she looked toward Gangbao.
Gangbao had already sensed her Beast Tamer's thoughts. Her eyes lit up as well, and she nodded toward her Beast Tamer.
If no accidents occurred, tomorrow would be the exact day she would thoroughly evolve into a King-level pet.
