A Moda Wyvern... Qiao Sang blanked out for a moment, then her eyes lit up as she asked: "Teacher, is this your Moda Wyvern?"

With a stiff smile, Mikayla nodded her head.

Walking over to stand before Qiao Sang, the Dragon King carefully evaluated her for a few moments, displaying a satisfied look as it let out a call: "Mo mo."

Saying that, it raised one of its claws.

Looking at the claw, Qiao Sang seemed to understand its intent, reaching out her hand to shake its claw as she greeted: "Hello."

"Mo mo." Setting down its claw, the Dragon King let out a call

What is it saying... Rather than responding, Qiao Sang looked toward Teacher Mikayla.

Doing a bit of mental preparation, Mikayla stepped forward to assist with the translation: "It says its name is Dragon King."

"Mo mo."

At this moment, the Dragon King didn't particularly want to pay attention to Mikayla, but recalling the purpose of its arrival, it still nodded its head reluctantly, indicating she was correct.

Dragon King? I didn't expect you to give it a name like that, Teacher... Qiao Sang cast a glance in Teacher Mikayla's direction, feeling both astonished and amused.

Sensing the meaning behind Qiao Sang's gaze, Mikayla cleared her throat and explained: "Before I even contracted it, it had already given itself this name."

"Mo mo?"

The Dragon King let out a call in an inquiring tone.

Falling into a brief silence, Mikayla translated: "It says it has always aimed to become the boss of its species, so it gave itself this name. What do you think of this name?"

"I think it's a bit chūnibyō." Qiao Sang stated honestly.

The Dragon King's face darkened in an instant.

Mikayla froze for a second, not expecting her student to speak the absolute truth. Logically speaking, shouldn't she tell a few white lies to shower praise when facing her teacher's pet?

"Ordinary pets wouldn't choose a name like this, but that precisely reflects how unordinary Dragon King is." 

Qiao Sang offered a genuine compliment: "One must know that ordinary pets couldn't pull off a name like this at all, yet Dragon King not only pulled it off, but also took it as a goal since youth and has now genuinely become the boss of the Little Moda Dragon clan. This mindset and perseverance, I truly admire it."

Mikayla: ...

Staring blankly at the young girl before it, the Dragon King realized no one had ever spoken such words to it before...

Gangbao cast a silent glance at her Beast Tamer.

"Xun xun..."

Hearing these words, Little Treasure chewed on his melon seeds while silently pondering.

Taking a name as a goal... I wonder if I can change my name to Little Treasure the Boss...

Qiao Sang continued: "Although I haven't met you before, Teacher Mikayla mentioned you to me, she was the one who told me about you becoming the clan leader."

The Dragon King turned its head to look at Mikayla.

Those words aren't wrong... Mikayla offered a warm smile to the Dragon King.

"Mo mo."

The Dragon King finally addressed Mikayla with its first call since arriving here.

Isn't it only natural for you to mention me?

In its view, since it had become the clan leader, Mikayla, as its Beast Tamer, gained plenty of prestige by bringing it up

Mikayla: ...

"Mo mo."

Turning its gaze back to Qiao Sang, the Dragon King issued a call in a serious tone.

After listening, Mikayla didn't translate right away. Instead, an uneasy premonition rose in her heart, and she asked with a furrowed brow: "Why are you looking for her?"

"Mo mo." The Dragon King cast a glance at her, letting out a call to tell her to translate quickly.

...Effortlessly managing her facial expression, Mikayla looked toward Qiao Sang and said: "It says it came this time specifically to look for you."

During their conversation, Tingbao had already arrived at her side.

Qiao Sang blanked out for a moment: "Looking for me?"

"Mo mo." The Dragon King nodded its head.

"What are you looking for me for?" Qiao Sang asked.

Instead of answering, the Dragon King suddenly raised its head and let out a loud roar: "Mo mo!"

The air seemed to vibrate, scaring a few Flying-type pets that happened to be passing high above into accelerating their flight, even dropping a couple of feathers.

What is it trying to do? Qiao Sang was somewhat bewildered.

Looking high into the sky, the uneasy premonition in Mikayla's heart grew increasingly intense.

"Mo mo!"

"Mo mo!"

Before long, two Dragon-type pets of differing forms swooped down from high above, coming to a halt beside the Dragon King.

One was roughly 80 centimeters in size, its dark-red fur covering its eyes with a pointy protrusion on top of its head and a pair of modest wings. The other was roughly two meters in size, its primary body color light red with two rows of white stripes along its form and a pair of wings on its back.

It's a Little Moda Dragon and a Moda Power Dragon... Qiao Sang recognized the two Dragon-type pets before her, her gaze subconsciously landing on the Moda Power Dragon.

Her first thought was: I recall books mentioning that Moda Power Dragons are dark red with deep purple stripes.

Her second thought was: Holy crap, this is actually a variant Moda Power Dragon...

Qiao Sang's gaze uncontrollably lingered on the Moda Power Dragon for several extra glances.

One had to know that Dragon-type pets were rare, and variant Dragon-type pets were as rare as it got.

She could be considered someone who had been to three planets by now, yet the variant pets she had encountered remained countable on one hand.

This was her very first time seeing a variant Dragon-type pet.

"Mo mo."

Sensing the human's gaze before it, the corners of the Moda Power Dragon's mouth curled up as it flashed a handsome smile, offering a greeting.

"Mo mo!"

Unwilling to be outdone, the Little Moda Dragon nearby stepped in front of the Moda Power Dragon, offering a greeting as well to establish its presence.

"Lei lei..."

Staring at them, Tingbao felt an inexplicable sense of crisis.

Wriggling his body, he climbed up Qiao Sang's torso and wrapped himself around her neck.

The Dragon King cast a faint glance at Tingbao, paying him no mind whatsoever

Dragon King... Realizing something, Mikayla's mouth twitched.

"Hello there." Qiao Sang responded to the Little Moda Dragon and the Moda Power Dragon.

"Mo mo."

The Dragon King called out, then looked toward Mikayla, gesturing with its eyes for her to translate.

"Lei lei!"

However, before Mikayla could translate, Tingbao's face darkened instantly. Yellow electrical arcs crackled across his body, and his form tightened around her neck subconsciously.

"Tingbao..."

Choked suddenly, Qiao Sang found it difficult to breathe, her face flushing red as she raised her hand to pull at Tingbao's body.

Realizing what he had done, Tingbao caught a fright, the electrical arcs on his body vanished, and he hurriedly loosened his grip on his Beast Tamer's neck.

Qiao Sang exhaled a sigh of relief.

"Yap yap?"

Teleporting to his Beast Tamer's side, Yabao put on a worried expression, letting out a bark to ask if she was alright.

"Phew..." Exhaling a breath as if relieved of a heavy burden, Qiao Sang offered comfort: "I'm fine."

"Mo mo."

The Dragon King cast a glance at Tingbao, letting out a faint call to signal that this kid was too rash.

"Lei lei!"

Exposing an angry expression, Tingbao leaped off his Beast Tamer, yellow electrical arcs surfacing across his body once more.

The Dragon King shot him a sidelong glance, its expression disdainful.

"Dragon King." Mikayla called out.

The Dragon King looked toward her.

With a helpless tone, Mikayla said: "Can we step outside to talk first?"

"Mo mo."

The Dragon King called out.

I told you, I didn't come here looking for you.

Mikayla: ...

"Mo mo."

The Dragon King looked toward Qiao Sang, letting out a call.

Qiao Sang looked at the Dragon King, then at Teacher Mikayla, asking with her eyes: Weren't you two going outside to talk?

The Dragon King looked at Mikayla, gesturing with its eyes for her to translate what it had just said.

Taking a deep breath, Mikayla shot a look at Spengami nearby.

Understanding her intent, blue light gleamed in Spengami's eyes.

The next second, he departed from the spot with Mikayla and the Dragon King.

The Little Moda Dragon and Moda Power Dragon looked at each other.

"Mo mo?"

The Little Moda Dragon called out, asking what they should do now that the leader had left.

"Mo mo."

The Moda Power Dragon called out, indicating that the leader was definitely discussing their contract matters with its Beast Tamer, so they just needed to wait peacefully.

"Mo mo."

The Little Moda Dragon nodded its head.

Finishing their discussion, both of them looked toward Qiao Sang simultaneously.

"Lei lei..."

Understanding their dialogue, Tingbao looked at the Little Moda Dragon and Moda Power Dragon with an unfriendly expression.

The Moda Power Dragon flashed him a provocative smile.

Before electrical arcs could surface on Tingbao, Qiao Sang said: "How about you two head inside to have a seat first?"

"Mo mo."

"Mo mo."

The Little Moda Dragon and Moda Power Dragon nodded, then walked toward the direction of the living room.

"Lei lei!"

Looking at Qiao Sang, Little Tingbao displayed an unbelievable expression, letting out a call.

You're actually letting them go inside and sit!

"Xun xun!"

Poking out from the black hole, Little Treasure mimicked Little Tingbao's tone to help translate.

Qiao Sang blanked out for a moment: "They are guests, shouldn't they come inside to sit for a while?"

Tingbao displayed an injured expression, wriggling his body as he turned around to leave.

What's wrong now... Qiao Sang felt a subtle headache.

Honestly, from becoming a professional Beast Tamer up until now, this was the very first time she felt that communicating with a contracted pet versus an uncontracted pet truly carried a massive difference in difficulty.

"Gang qiu."

At this moment, Gangbao's voice resounded in her head.

That pet called Dragon King brought those two little guys over because it wants you to pick one of them to contract.

What? Dragon King brought the Little Moda Dragon and Moda Power Dragon over because it wants me to pick one to contract? Qiao Sang wore a face full of confusion.

Two seconds later, she abruptly realized what Tingbao was angry about, hurriedly shouting: "Tingbao!"

Tingbao halted his crawling action, without turning back.

Running in front of Tingbao, Qiao Sang squatted down and said earnestly: "I said it before: My next contract spot is reserved only for you."

"Lei lei."

Tingbao raised his head to look at Qiao Sang, letting out a call with an If you're lying to me expression.

"Gang qiu." Gangbao translated in her mind.

"Of course." Qiao Sang nodded her head.

Wriggling his body, Tingbao climbed up his Beast Tamer's neck, expressing his trust.

Teacher, you almost killed me... I didn't expect that after all this time, Teacher still holds such little faith in Tingbao, even asking the Dragon King to bring over little ones from its clan. One of them is even a variant pet, clearly going all out... Luckily my mindset is steadfast enough... 

With Tingbao hanging around her neck, Qiao Sang walked toward the living room.

"Gang qiu."

Gangbao called out in her mind, indicating she felt Teacher Mikayla didn't know about this matter, and that it was the Dragon King's own idea, their opinions just now were clearly divided.

Otherwise, when the Dragon King asked Teacher Mikayla to translate, why didn't Teacher Mikayla translate at all and even took it away?

Qiao Sang blanked out for a moment, saying in her mind: "How is that possible? The Dragon King is Teacher Mikayla's pet. Even if it was the Dragon King's idea, it definitely told Teacher beforehand when bringing the Little Moda Dragon and Moda Power Dragon over."

Gangbao fell silent.

She was somewhat persuaded.

Teacher Mikayla was an S-rank Beast Tamer after all, so she should be in the dominant position.

---

Simultaneously.

High in the sky a kilometer away.

"Why didn't you tell me in advance before bringing the Little Moda Dragon and Moda Power Dragon over?" Mikayla said with a headache.

"Mo mo!"

"Mo mo!"

Talking about this made the Dragon King furious, letting out two angry calls.

Didn't I send you messages?!

I called you, and you didn't even pick up!

Mikayla defended: "I was busy at the time. When I called you back later, your phone wouldn't go through."

"Mo mo!"

"Mo mo!"

The Dragon King grew even angrier

Wasn't it because you didn't pick up that I applied a little force and broke the phone!

Mikayla fell silent for a moment: "I'll compensate you."

Saying that, she pulled out her phone and transferred a sum of money over.

Pulling out its phone, the Dragon King clicked to accept the payment, only then displaying a satisfied expression as it let out a call: "Mo mo."

Hurry up and go back, I still need to ask your student whether she wants to contract the Little Moda Dragon or the Moda Power Dragon.

Mikayla fell into a two-second silence, saying: "She won't contract them. She has already decided to contract Tingbao."

These past days of training and matches had made her understand that Tingbao indeed possessed exceptional battle talent and coordinated with Qiao Sang with great synergy.

Most importantly, they held mutual recognition for each other.

"Mo mo."

The Dragon King called out in dissatisfaction.

Aren't you her teacher? Tell her not to contract that little runt.

Mikayla let out a sigh and said: "There's nothing I can do, she has already set her mind on it."

"Mo mo!"

"Mo mo!"

"Mo mo!"

Displaying an angry expression, the Dragon King began bringing up old grievances.

Why are you still so useless!

Back when you contracted me, you said you'd take me to the Interstellar Cup and win the championship!

And what happened! We got eliminated in the very first round!

Now you can't even manage a single student!

Mikayla remained silent.

"Peng peng."

Spengami, who had been quiet all along, let out a call with a stern expression.

After speaking, the Dragon King felt faintly regretful, but ultimately couldn't bring itself to apologize. Flapping its wings, it turned and flew back toward the villa.

"Wait." Mikayla spoke up.

The Dragon King turned its head to look at her.

"I'll accompany you." 

Mikayla said in a deep voice: "I'll talk to Qiao Sang, but I can't make the decision on whether she forms a contract or not."

Pausing for a beat, she added: "I'm very sorry about the Interstellar Cup."

"Mo mo."

After a two-second silence, the Dragon King let out a call, indicating that it was all in the past.

---

The villa, living room.

Tingbao looked at the Little Moda Dragon and Moda Power Dragon with an unfriendly expression, yellow electrical arcs surfacing across his body from time to time.

"Mo mo."

"Mo mo."

Surrounding Qiao Sang, the Little Moda Dragon and Moda Power Dragon were speaking about their situations, paying no mind to Tingbao.

"Yap yap."

"Yap yap."

Yabao was off to the side helping with the translation.

Qiao Sang confirmed with a face full of astonishment: "You're saying you two broke through the ranks among several hundred Little Moda Dragons and Moda Power Dragons, securing the ultimate victory before coming here?"

"Mo mo."

"Mo mo."

The Little Moda Dragon and Moda Power Dragon nodded proudly.

"Lei lei..."

Tingbao did a rough mental calculation.

Several hundred... it seems he had only battled a handful of opponents...

In an instant, a sense of crisis welled up within him.

"You two are so impressive." Qiao Sang admired from the bottom of her heart.

"Mo mo."

"Mo mo."

The Little Moda Dragon displayed a modest expression, while the Moda Power Dragon's expression grew increasingly proud.

"Did you two come here wanting to form a contract with me?" Qiao Sang asked.

"Mo mo."

"Mo mo."

The Little Moda Dragon and Moda Power Dragon nodded.

"I'm sorry." 

Qiao Sang said: "You two might not be very aware of my situation yet, but I already have someone I want to contract with."

Saying that, she pointed to Tingbao hanging around her neck.

"Lei lei."

Tingbao held his head high and chest out.

"Mo mo..."

The Little Moda Dragon looked toward the Moda Power Dragon, putting on a "What should we do now" expression.

"Mo mo."

The Moda Power Dragon called out, indicating not to rush, they would wait for the leader to return first.

Just as the words fell, Mikayla and the Dragon King materialized out of thin air right inside the living room.

"Mo mo!"

"Mo mo!"

The Little Moda Dragon and Moda Power Dragon displayed pleasantly surprised expressions.

"Mo mo."

After nodding to them, the Dragon King let out a call toward Qiao Sang.

Mikayla helped translate: "These two, the Little Moda Dragon and Moda Power Dragon, were specifically selected by the Dragon King from the clan. They are both outstanding figures among their peers; you may pick one of them to form a contract."
