"Ju ju."

Jujiji called out, indicating that the next stage would be evolved under the sun.

Qiao Sang couldn't understand and looked at Little Treasure with eyes full of anticipation.

"Xun xun~"

Little Treasure called out, helping to translate.

Evolves under the sun? That's it? Unwilling to give up, Qiao Sang asked, "Is there anything more specific?"

"Ju ju?"

Jujiji frowned and called out.

"Xun xun?"

Little Treasure mimicked its mannerism, frowning as he helped translate.

Needing the sun to evolve, is that not specific enough?

"Ju ju."

Just after translating, Jujiji over there seemed to think of something and called out again.

"Xun xun~"

Little Treasure helped translate.

It says if it absolutely has to say a bit more, it would be extremely close to the sun.

"Yap yap..."

Yabao listened to the conversation from the side, a thoughtful expression appearing on his face.

Does it simply require sunlight...? Qiao Sang pondered for a moment, then asked: "Did you see a specific location, or a time?"

"Ju ju."

Jujiji looked over and called out.

"Xun xun~"

Little Treasure helped translate. It says while we are still on Flame Star.

Evolving on Flame Star? Could it be that I'll stay on Flame Star for a very long time... Regardless of how long Teacher Mikayla arranges for us to stay on Flame Star, for the sake of Yabao's evolution, I must stay until he evolves... Qiao Sang thought to herself.

"Ju ju."

Just as she was reflecting, Jujiji called out again.

Yabao's eyes suddenly brightened by another notch.

"Xun xun~"

Little Treasure helped translate.

It says Big Brother Yabao's evolution pathway after the next one relies on True Fire Crystal, Li Fire Crystal, and Sun Crystal.

Qiao Sang: !!!

Qiao Sang was stunned at first, followed by an intense wave of wild joy surging in her heart.

A thought screamed wildly in her mind: Jujiji actually saw Yabao's evolution pathway after the next one too!

This is far more detailed than the next stage of evolution!

Then, a second thought immediately surfaced: What are True Fire Crystal and Sun Crystal?

She had heard of Li Fire Crystal, it was said to be a crystal formed from the eye sleep of the legendary pet beast Lioyas, but she had genuinely never heard of the other two.

However, that wasn't a big problem, she could just ask Teacher Mikayla once they went outside.

Even though these two items were listed alongside Li Fire Crystal and sounded extremely difficult to obtain, knowing the evolution pathway was better than not knowing. At least she had a goal to strive for.

Gathering her thoughts, Qiao Sang looked at Jujiji with glowing eyes and inquired: "Then how does he evolve in the stage after that one?"

Yabao likewise looked over with glowing eyes.

"Ju ju."

Jujiji called out.

"Xun xun~"

Little Treasure helped translate. It says the stage after that one can't be seen.

"Yap yap..."

Yabao showed a disappointed expression.

Qiao Sang was inevitably a bit disappointed, but she quickly adjusted her mindset, her brain working rapidly.

Being unable to see Yabao evolving into a Sovereign-level form most likely means Yabao didn't evolve into a Sovereign-level form at all, however, the possibility that Jujiji can't see Yabao's entire life up to death makes this far less likely. 

After all, I have a cheat system, grinding points every day until old age, I should be able to reach Sovereign level no matter what...

It's too early to think about this now. In any case, Yabao already knows how he evolves for the next two stages, especially the Emperor-level evolution pathway. Knowing this much is already an unexpected surprise.

Qiao Sang immediately thought of something and turned to look at Gangbao.

"Gang qiu."

Before she could speak, Gangbao flew forward and called out to Jujiji.

"Could you help look at Gangbao too?" Qiao Sang asked with eyes full of anticipation.

Jujiji grew somewhat impatient. However, it glanced at Qingbao nearby, and remembering that this human was her Beast Tamer, it ultimately held back its impatience. Blue light glowed in its eyes as it looked at Gangbao.

As time passed, Jujiji's expression changed little by little from calm to astonishment, and toward the end, even turned into a trace of admiration.

Through Jujiji's expressions, Qiao Sang knew that it had seen Gangbao's past.

"Ju ju."

Before long, the blue light in Jujiji's eyes faded, and it called out with a serious expression.

After speaking, its demeanor turned complex.

"Xun xun."

Little Treasure mimicked Jujiji's serious expression as it translated.

It says Fourth Child's subsequent evolutions are all sudden evolutions without item consumption, and afterward, she'll revert back to her original form. They should all be Bond Evolutions just like before, but...

"Xun xun~"

Translating up to this point, Little Treasure returned to his usual self, calling out to indicate that it stopped there.

Hearing this, Qiao Sang couldn't help asking: "But what?"

"Ju ju."

Jujiji glanced at Yabao, calling out with a complex expression.

Just like this little fellow, it can't see her ultimate future either.

Just as I guessed, Gangbao's subsequent evolution pathways all rely on the power of bonds... Regarding this result, Qiao Sang felt both surprised and un-surprised.

She had long speculated that Gangbao's subsequent evolution pathways were all Bond Evolutions, but this time she received firm confirmation. What she hadn't expected, however, was that Jujiji similarly couldn't see Gangbao's future outcome.

Unable to see Yabao, and unable to see Gangbao either, could the issue lie with me...? Qiao Sang grumbled internally.

Then she thought of something and asked: "Is it also like Yabao, where you only saw the evolution process for Imperial-level and Emperor-level?"

"Ju ju."

Jujiji nodded.

Gangbao fell into deep thought.

"Ju ju."

Jujiji called out comfortingly, indicating that she shouldn't think about Sovereign-level stuff so early, how could Sovereign-level be that easy to evolve into? It's possible you won't even reach Sovereign-level.

"Gang qiu."

Gangbao put on a polite smile and called out.

Thank you for your comfort.

"Ju ju."

Jujiji accepted it quite candidly.

It genuinely felt like it was offering comfort.

Should I ask Jujiji to look at my own life too...? No, if my secrets get seen, that wouldn't be good... What a pity, otherwise it would be nice to have Jujiji see when I break through to 60% brain region capacity... Qiao Sang's thoughts swirled beside them.

"Xun xun~"

At this moment, Little Treasure called out to Jujiji impatiently, indicating to check its future too.

Hearing this, Qiao Sang's heart moved. She suddenly recalled that Little Treasure's racial cap was Imperial-level, and its evolution pathways beyond Imperial-level were completely unknown. She couldn't help looking at Jujiji once more with eyes full of expectation.

Once Little Treasure is checked, maybe I can also ask Jujiji to check Lubao.

After all, Lubao's racial cap is also at Imperial-level.

"Ju ju."

Jujiji looked at Little Treasure, putting on an exhausted expression as it called out, indicating that it needed to rest.

"Xun xun?"

Little Treasure called out, asking: How long do you need to rest?

Without needing to understand what Jujiji said, upon hearing Little Treasure's words, Qiao Sang knew Jujiji currently needed rest.

"Ju ju."

Jujiji thought about it and called out.

One day, probably.

"Xun xun~"

Hearing this, Little Treasure removed his ring, pulled out bottles of energy recovery fluid and milk from inside, placed them in front of Jujiji, and called out, indicating that drinking these would help it recover faster.

"Ju ju..."

Seeing the items on the ground, Jujiji froze for a moment, an amused expression appearing as it shook its head, indicating it didn't need them.

"Xun xun~"

Little Treasure didn't give up, pushing the energy recovery fluid and milk forward as he called out, indicating that whenever he was tired, he drank these to recover.

"Ju ju."

Jujiji looked down at the energy recovery fluid and milk once more, then looked at Little Treasure, putting on a "can't do anything with you" expression as blue light glowed in its eyes.

Little Treasure instantly understood, standing tall with its head held high and posture straightened.

Little Treasure's social skills are pretty incredible... Qiao Sang turned her head to look at Little Treasure, unable to refrain from praising him in her mind.

First the Tenth Seat, now Jujiji, if this gathering lasted a bit longer, Little Treasure could probably get familiar with all these rare pet beasts.

"Gang qiu." Gangbao called out in her mind in an admiring tone.

Indeed.

Hearing Gangbao's voice, Qiao Sang's heart stirred, and she said in her mind: "Do you think if we achieve Bond Evolution next time, we'll be able to block off our inner thoughts?"

"Gang qiu."

Gangbao's heart moved as well, calling out to indicate it was possible.

At this moment, her desire for evolution surged significantly.

While Qiao Sang and Gangbao communicated via bond power, the eyes of Jujiji restored to normal, and it called out: "Ju ju."

"Ju ju."

"Xun xun!"

Little Treasure's eyes lit up, calling out twice to ask: Really?

"Ju ju."

Jujiji nodded.

"What did it say?" Qiao Sang asked.

"Xun xun~"

Little Treasure called out happily.

It says my next stage relies on items to evolve, though it doesn't know what those items are called.

Speaking up to here, Little Treasure suddenly puffed out its chest, calling out proudly: "Xun xun~"

It also says my stage after the next evolves during a competition, under everyone's cheers.

Evolving in a competition? Without relying on any items? Qiao Sang froze, suddenly recalling what Dr. Zhang Taidong had said back in the Zidia region.

Could Little Treasure's evolution after that really follow the possibility Dr. Zhang Taidong mentioned?

Does Little Treasure care most about winning competitions?

That seems somewhat unlikely...

Could it be that it likes the feeling of being popular after winning a competition?

In an instant, all sorts of thoughts surfaced in her mind.

"Ju ju."

Jujiji sat on the ground, showing a tired expression as it called out, indicating that it now needed to rest.

"Xun xun~"

Little Treasure pushed the energy recovery fluid and milk forward.

This time, Jujiji didn't refuse, though it didn't pick them up to consume either. Offering a kindly smile to Little Treasure, it closed its eyes.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang said "Thank you" and stopped disturbing it, leading Yabao and the others to a spot on the side to sit cross-legged.

To be honest, just based on this conversation with Jujiji, this trip to Flame Star wasn't in vain, it was far more valuable than obtaining a Pure Blood Fruit from the Tenth Seat...

Qiao Sang calmed her excited heart, settling her emotions as she recalled what Jujiji had just said.

Yabao's next stage needs to be close to the sun... The stage after the next requires True Fire Crystal, Li Fire Crystal, and Sun Crystal...

Gangbao's next two forms are both Bond Evolutions... Although the Sovereign-level form's evolution method is unknown, it's very likely to rely on the power of bonds as well...

Little Treasure's next stage should be identical to the officially published evolution pathway.

Jujiji didn't know what the items were, probably because those evolution materials are from Blue Star, which it normally doesn't come into contact with.

Speaking of which, Lioyas is a legendary pet beast of Flame Star. I wonder if it will attend this gathering. If it does, I might be able to get a Li Fire Crystal directly...

What Little Treasure's evolution pathway after the next one is specifically remains unknown, but one thing for sure is that it needs a competition, and it needs to win...

After reviewing all of Yabao and the others' evolution pathways in her mind, Qiao Sang's thoughts drifted for a moment, feeling as though she had forgotten something...

After brief consideration for two seconds, she withdrew her thoughts.

Oh well, since I can't remember, it means it probably isn't important.

At the same time

Wolin.

The white mist was hazy.

Mikayla, Leon, Spengami, Dragon King, and the black humanoid pet beast were frozen in place, still as though paused, not moving at all.

Suddenly, the mist surged, and a figure walked slowly from afar to near, revealing a face covered in wrinkles.

If Qiao Sang were here, she would discover that this person was the mysterious old man she had met at the restaurant.

Igor arrived beside Mikayla and her group, letting out a soft "Huh?", then thought of something, revealing a trace of excitement as he turned to the air beside him and said: "It should be right here. Take a look."

"Kong kong."

A cat-like pet beast roughly 1.6 meters tall with a curled long tail appeared out of thin air, blue light glowing in its eyes.

In the next second, the entire space suddenly trembled.

Immediately after, a rift tore open in space, slowly opening up.

Igor wore a look of surprise and delight, then straightened his clothes, smoothed his hair, and morphed his face, restoring it to his original appearance as he stepped into the spatial rift through the air with a solemn demeanor.

The cat-like pet beast with the curled long tail floated in behind him.

The spatial rift slowly closed, appearing as though it had never been there.

---

On the other side.

Gaodun Cat seemed to have sensed something, putting on a sneering expression.

Minutes and seconds passed by.

Clouds in the sky drifted, and daylight remained unchanged, even though it should have been the time for the sun and moon to alternate, the sky underwent no change whatsoever.

During this time, three more pet beasts that Qiao Sang had never seen before entered.

Pet beasts gathered in groups of two or three, some curled up resting, some conversing in low voices, and some rather introverted ones staying by themselves.

Little Treasure was full of energy, managing to chat for a few sentences in front of every single pet beast.

Yabao, Lubao, Gangbao, Qingbao, Tingbao, and Moda Power Dragon had long since fallen asleep.

Looking at the pet beasts around her, each one belonging to a species she might never see in her lifetime out in the wild, Qiao Sang felt no sleepiness at all.

I probably only have this one chance in my life... Qiao Sang quietly pulled out her mobile phone, taking a photo of the scene before her as a keepsake.

"Xia xia?"

Suddenly, a head popped over, looking at the frozen photo on the phone screen.

Qiao Sang turned her head, and seeing that it was Shalala, asked: "Are you still not sleeping?"

"Xia xia."

Shalala shook its head.

"You're not sleepy?" Qiao Sang asked again.

"Xia xia..."

Without mentioning it, it was fine, but once mentioned, Shalala felt sleepiness wash over it and let out a yawn.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang smiled and said: "Go to sleep. I'll call you when the Tenth Seat starts the gathering."

Saying that, she patted the lawn beside her.

Shalala froze for a second, then obediently lay down at the spot she patted, glanced at the human who had told it to sleep, and closed its eyes.
