Qiao Sang teleported back to the contestant area, only to find Dragon King looking at her and Qingbao with a rather complex expression.
That look was as if it had discovered some astonishing secret about them.
"What's wrong?" Qiao Sang couldn't help but ask.
Could it be that Dragon King felt she shouldn't have beaten Moda Ao Dragon? But wasn't it completely normal for a Fairy-type pet beast at the same stage to defeat a Dragon-type pet beast?
Dragon King first glanced left and right to check the surroundings, then lowered its voice and called out: "Mo mo?"
"Qing qing." Before Qiao Sang could answer, Qingbao off to the side put on a look that said, You just found out?
Wind was still whipping around her body, she was clearly still in a bad mood.
If a pet beast had shown this kind of expression to Dragon King in the past, it would definitely have let them know what a leader's authority felt like. But now that it knew the opponent was a legendary pet beast, and a companion of the Beast Tamer it wanted its younger generation to contract with, it immediately let out a sincere cry: "Mo mo!"
I really just found out now!
"Gang qiu."
Gangbao's voice sounded in her mind, explaining that Dragon King reacted this way because it had just learned that Qingbao was a legendary pet beast.
What? Dragon King didn't know before? Qiao Sang was momentarily taken aback.
She had assumed Teacher Mikayla had told it long ago.
"I thought Teacher Mikayla had already told you." Qiao Sang voiced her thought out loud.
"Mo mo!"
Dragon King instantly turned to glare at Mikayla and let out a call, indicating that she hadn't mentioned a word to it in the first place.
After speaking, its gaze turned deeply resentful.
Mikayla: !!!
Mikayla quickly said, "You didn't ask before either."
"Mo mo."
Dragon King let out a dissatisfied cry, indicating: If I didn't ask, couldn't you take the initiative to say something?
Mikayla: ...
The atmosphere seems a bit off. That shouldn't be my fault, right...? Qiao Sang felt somewhat hesitant internally.
Watching this scene, Qingbao found it quite amusing, and the wind swirling around her, which had been present ever since her Stench Gas tolerance training, mysteriously subsided a little.
Qiao Sang keenly noticed this and fell into thought.
Before long, Moda Ao Dragon returned to the contestant area looking utterly crestfallen.
This kind of competition backstage had a dedicated free medical team. As long as injuries were not particularly severe, it was basically a matter of a single skill.
"Mo mo."
Noticing its junior's low spirits, Dragon King called out, indicating that losing to Qinyin Fairy was completely normal and nothing to be ashamed of, so there was no need to be sad.
"Mo mo..."
Moda Ao Dragon looked at Dragon King in surprise, seemingly not expecting it to say such things, especially since before the match, it had insisted that Moda Ao Dragon win at all costs...
Furthermore, in its memory, the leader was very competitive. If any of them lost a match outside, it would look down on them for being useless...
"Mo mo?"
Moda Ao Dragon gathered its thoughts and carefully called out: Then can I still go back?
"Mo mo."
Dragon King cast a sideways glance at it and ruthlessly refused.
No.
Moda Ao Dragon: ...

4:30 PM in the afternoon.
Villa, open-air training ground.
Green gas continuously emitted from the ring of petals around Meitianhua's neck.
An area within a hundred-meter radius was almost entirely covered in green gas.
Inside the green gas, Qingbao wore an enduring expression. Every time the wild wind around her blew the green gas away, a second later, even more green gas would surge over.
At the same time, a pink glow continuously surfaced on the ground below, granting Qingbao immunity to negative status effects.
Under the shade of a tree in the distance, Qiao Sang wore a mask while meditating.
Suddenly, a black hole appeared beside her.
"Xun xun~"
Wearing a mask and holding a laptop, Little Treasure squeezed out from inside and let out a cheerful cry, indicating that he had found another task he could do.
"What is it?" Qiao Sang asked.
"Xun xun~" Little Treasure placed the laptop in front of his Beast Tamer.
Qiao Sang looked at the computer screen.
[Needs an alumnus on Flame Star to help find ten hairs of a Libatuan. 10 points per hair, shipping fees covered.]
Libatuan, a Grass-type General-rank pet beast. Overbearing in temper and sparse in fur, almost every single one has only three grass-like hairs growing on its head. Those hairs on their heads are their literal reverse scale, whoever wants to touch them must endure Libatuan's rage...
Though the hair is Libatuan's sensitive spot, it has the effect of allowing Grass-type pet beasts to grow rapidly, so quite a few people still risk touching that reverse scale just to get it...
Relevant data regarding Libatuan surfaced in Qiao Sang's mind. Getting a rough idea of the situation, she said: "Once Qingbao's tournament is over, I'll accompany you to the shops outside to see if any Libatuan hairs are for sale."
Points were hard to earn while money was easy to earn. As long as money could be exchanged for points, it was a worthwhile deal.
"Xun xun~"
Little Treasure curved his eyes and called out, indicating there was no need to wait until then, he could go find Libatuan hairs by himself.
Qiao Sang thought about it and said: "That works too. Take my card, it's right inside your ring."
As she spoke, she pulled out her phone to check the market price for Libatuan hairs. Setting her phone down, she instructed: "Within 80,000 Alliance coins per hair. Don't buy if it costs more than that."
"Xun xun~"
Little Treasure called out happily, indicating he guaranteed the mission's completion.
With that, he turned and ducked back into the black hole.
---
In a bustling commercial street, Little Treasure squeezed out from a black hole that appeared out of thin air.
The black hole was only several dozen centimeters in size and appeared mid-air. Compared to Flying-type pet beasts casually flying high up in clothing, it wasn't eye-catching at all, so hardly any humans or pet beasts noticed it.
Little Treasure had browsed here a few times back when he was practicing Shadow Penetration, so he was very familiar with the area.
He floated toward the pet beast materials shop like an old hand.
Suddenly, a pet beast about one meter tall with a pale green body, a rounded figure, three green hairs growing on its head, and a miniature shrinking bracelet passed by.
Its appearance was none other than a Libatuan.
Little Treasure couldn't pull his gaze away in an instant. Staring at the opponent's three hairs, his eyes lit up. Suddenly remembering something, he floated next to Libatuan, pointed at its three hairs, and called out: "Xun xun~"
"Liba!"
Libatuan instantly wore a furious expression.
"Xun xun~"
Little Treasure called out, indicating he could buy them with money.
"Liba!"
Libatuan grew even angrier.
You're using money to insult me!
Saying so, it adopted a battle-ready stance.
"Xun xun!"
Seeing that the opponent's reaction was wrong, Little Treasure quickly raised his paws, indicating it should calm down.
In the next second, a brilliant golden light erupted across his entire body.
Libatuan's eyes were nearly blinded.
Looking closely, it realized it was a set of golden armor.
"Xun xun~"
Little Treasure pointed at his own armor and called out, indicating: We battle. If I lose, this set of armor on me is yours. If you lose, give me your hair.
He remembered his Beast Tamer saying that many problems here could be solved through battles. Back then, he had solved the trouble with Ill-Omen Envoy through a battle as well.
Libatuan's eyes flickered slightly as the anger on its face vanished, replaced by temptation. It first sized up Little Treasure's build, then landed its gaze on his two paws. Seeing no miniature shrinking bracelet worn, it finally stopped hesitating and nodded: "Liba!"
I'll battle you!

6:00 PM in the evening.
Villa.
Living room, dining table.
Looking at the full circle of Little Moda Dragons sitting on the floor, Qiao Sang fell silent.
"Lei lei..."
Looking at the Little Moda Dragons sitting in front of him, blue veins bulged on Little Tingbao's forehead, and yellow electric arcs crackled across his body.
"Mo mo." Moda Power Dragon called out from the side, indicating: Do you have no confidence at all in the human you want to contract with?
Tingbao froze, and the electric arcs on his body vanished.
Toward Moda Power Dragon, because it had been helping him with battle training over the past two days without trying to push its way next to his Beast Tamer like those other Little Moda Dragons, his prejudice against it wasn't as severe anymore, and he could take in its words a bit.
One, two, three... nine... This is way too many... Qiao Sang opened her mouth and ultimately asked: "These Little Moda Dragons are...?"
"Mo mo."
Dragon King raised a huge smile and called out.
Mikayla translated expressionlessly: "It says these Little Moda Dragons missed it too much, so they insisted on coming over."
Do you think I'll believe that...? Qiao Sang complained inwardly, though on the surface she put on a look that said "So that's how it is."
Dragon King gave a meaningful glance to the Little Moda Dragons.
"Mo mo!"
"Mo mo!"
"Mo mo!"
The Little Moda Dragons enthusiastically greeted Qiao Sang one after another.
Qiao Sang was silent for a moment before shifting the topic: "Little Treasure hasn't returned yet."
"Xun xun~"
Just as her voice fell, a black hole appeared out of thin air in the living room. Little Treasure squeezed out from inside and let out a call.
"Why did buying something take so long? Did you take the chance to play outside?" Qiao Sang asked.
"Xun xun!"
Little Treasure put on a look of I'm wronged! and called out, indicating that he really only went to collect Libatuan hairs.
"Xun xun~"
Speaking of this, Little Treasure grew happy again, calling out to show that all the Libatuan hairs had been collected.
Collected all of them? Realizing something, Qiao Sang picked up her phone from the side, looked at it, and asked in surprise: "Then why hasn't any money been deducted from my card?"
"Xun xun~"
Little Treasure rested his hands on his hips, raised his head, and called out quite proudly.
He hadn't spent a single cent, he simply went to battle a few Libatuan. When they lost, they gave him their hair.
Didn't spend money? Qiao Sang asked with an astonished face: "Why were they willing to battle you?"
Little Treasure was a King-level pet beast, while Libatuan were only at the General-level. Knowing clearly that they would lose, how could they be willing to battle?
"Xun xun~"
The corner of Little Treasure's mouth curled up.
A secret.
"Gang qiu."
At this moment, Gangbao's voice sounded in her mind.
Those Libatuan probably didn't know Boss Little Treasure's rank is at the King-level.
Qiao Sang glanced at Little Treasure. Her first thought was: Gangbao is right.
Her second thought was: Awesome! In the future, if I want any resources from a pet beast, I can just challenge it directly! Why spend money at all? No wonder so many people want to come to Flame Star!
At this thought, Qiao Sang's eyes suddenly lit up, as if seeing a bright, beautiful future.
"Mo mo?" Dragon King attempted to join the conversation to build rapport, asking what the Libatuan hairs were being gathered for.
"Xun xun~"
Little Treasure immediately began to explain.
Mikayla glanced in Spengami's direction.
"Peng peng."
Spengami helped translate.
"You're still doing tasks from the university?" Mikayla asked.
Qiao Sang said: "It's Little Treasure, he wants to earn points."
"Xun xun~" Little Treasure nodded.
A Night Ring King? Earning points? Mikayla was momentarily taken aback.
"Xun xun..."
Remembering something, Little Treasure let out a sigh, put on a regretful expression, and called out, indicating he just wished he knew who had a Blood-Purifying Fruit, otherwise, he could go fight them to get it.
The corner of Qiao Sang's mouth twitched.
"Peng peng."
Spengami helped translate.
Mikayla was taken aback once again: "Blood-Purifying Fruit?"
Qiao Sang said in a helpless tone: "It's also a mission posted on the university's official website. Someone wants a Blood-Purifying Fruit from Flame Star and is offering 1,000 points."
After speaking, she looked at Little Treasure and said: "Something like that, even if someone had it, they would never use it as a wager against you in a battle."
"Xun xun~"
Little Treasure was disappointed at first, but then remembered the few hairs he had gotten his hands on. Perking back up, he called out, indicating it didn't matter, at worst, he could do other tasks to slowly save up points.
Today's successful mission gave him immense confidence in earning 1,000 points.
"The other party only wants one?" Mikayla inquired.
Only? One? Hearing this, Qiao Sang was taken aback, turning to ask: "Teacher, do you know where to find a Blood-Purifying Fruit?"
Her eyes contained hidden expectation.
Mikayla said calmly: "I don't know."
Qiao Sang: ...
"What I mean is, although a Blood-Purifying Fruit is rare, a single fruit basically plays no crucial role in purifying a pet beast's bloodline. At best, consuming one only purifies the bloodline by about 3%." Mikayla explained.
"The other party requested it probably not to feed a pet beast, but to use it for experiments."
I don't care what they use it for... Qiao Sang complained inwardly, though on the surface she put on a look of sudden realization, saying: "So that's how it is."
After speaking, she began digging into her meal.
"Mo mo."
Suddenly, Dragon King let out a profound call, indicating that it knew where a Blood-Purifying Fruit could be found.
"Xun xun?!"
Little Treasure, who had just taken off his ring and was about to pull out energy pellets, stopped in his tracks instantly. His eyes lit up with a Really? expression as he called out, asking where it was.
Qiao Sang looked over as well.
From Little Treasure's reaction, it wasn't hard for her to guess what Dragon King had said.
"Mo mo."
Dragon King put on a deep expression and called out.
At the Tenth Seat's place, there is a Blood-Purifying Fruit tree on its territory.
"Xun xun?" Little Treasure put on a puzzled expression.
Qiao Sang was the same: "The Tenth Seat?"
It couldn't be the Tenth Seat she was thinking of, right...?
Mikayla explained: "The Tenth Seat is the title for the highest administrators of the Beast Taming Alliance, ordered from one to ten."
Speaking of which, she fell into thought: "If I remember correctly, the current Tenth Seat is a Chuanweidaisi."
Chuanweidaisi, a legendary Psychic-type pet beast, was said to possess the ability to travel across interstellar space.
Qiao Sang felt a bit dazed. It really was the Tenth Seat she had in mind...
Although she had known about the giant entity known as the Beast Taming Alliance since childhood, perhaps because it was too distant from her daily life, people around her rarely discussed it.
Back when she studied at Imperial Beast University, it was her first time learning that the highest administrators of the Beast Taming Alliance were referred to by their Seat rank.
And learning that the Tenth Seat was a Chuanweidaisi was something she had only just found out right now.
