Qiao Sang felt inexplicably guilty for a moment, but then remembered something and turned to Shalala, saying: "Change your appearance first."

"Xia xia."

Shalala obediently nodded, then shrank its head into the flower buds and spread its arms, pretending to be an ordinary plant.

Qiao Sang: ...

"Xun xun?"

Little Treasure showed a puzzled expression and let out a call, asking if she wasn't going to use the Mutation-Resistant Flower to transform.

"Xia xia..."

Shalala's head popped out from the flower buds all at once. It rubbed its head shyly, then picked up the Mutation-Resistant Flower and attached energy to it.

The next second, it transformed into a pet with light green fur and leaf-like arms draped behind its neck like a cloak.

"Xun xun~"

Little Treasure raised its short toe and let out a call, indicating that the transformation was pretty good.

"Xia xia."

The mini Jieriluoka let out a timid smile.

It actually turned into Jieriluoka... The corner of Qiao Sang's mouth twitched slightly.

"Gang qiu..."

Gangbao called out hesitantly in her mind, asking if this Shalala wasn't very smart.

"Nonsense, how could a Phantom Beast not be smart?" After rebutting in her mind, Qiao Sang pulled out her phone, searched for a photo of a certain grass-type pet, held it in front of Shalala, and said: "Transform into this pet. Jieriluoka is still too conspicuous."

"Xia xia."

Shalala stared intently at the photo on the phone for a few moments and nodded.

Immediately after, its appearance shifted, and a pet about 50 cm tall appeared in front of them, it had the appearance of a small plant with its head directly connected to its legs, resembling a red fruit with round feet.

Little Dumb Fruit, the most common beginner grass-type pet on Flame Star. Its IQ isn't high, and whenever it finds fertile soil, it buries itself there... The information about the pet Shalala had transformed into flashed through Qiao Sang's mind, and she said with satisfaction: "It's much better transformed into Little Dumb Fruit. It definitely won't draw too much attention."

"Xia xia."

Understanding that the human in front of it was helping, Shalala showed a grateful expression and called out.

"Wait!" 

Hearing Shalala's call, Qiao Sang blurted out, "Your cry is wrong."

"Xia xia."

Shalala showed an expression asking for guidance.

"You should cry 'Daii daii', that's the cry of Little Dumb Fruit." Qiao Sang reminded. 

"Unless you stay completely silent in front of others, a different cry will easily make people notice something's wrong."

"Xia xia."

Shalala nodded and began trying to pronounce it: "Xia, xia, xia xia..."

After practicing like this for a minute, Shalala's entire head drooped: "Xia xia..."

It couldn't learn it, it was too hard...

"Xun xun~"

Little Treasure put on a 'how could it be hard' expression, cleared his throat, and opened his mouth: "Xun, xun, daii, daii daii!"

"Xia xia!"

Shalala was stunned, putting on an amazing expression.

"Daii daii~"

The corner of Little Treasure's mouth curled up as he called out, indicating it was a piece of cake.

Shalala looked at Little Treasure with a hint of admiration in its eyes.

Little Treasure's lips curled higher, enjoying it immensely.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang couldn't help falling silent, thinking to herself: During the gathering, when you saw the Tenth Seat make a black hole and drop so much food, I didn't see you look like this. Now that Little Treasure spoke another race's language, you're full of admiration?

"Qing qing."

Qingbao couldn't stand seeing the little fellow she liked look at Little Treasure like that. Putting on a "what's so great about that" expression on the side, she called out, indicating that she could do it too.

Then she cleared her throat and began to practice: "Qing, qing, qing, qing..."

Shalala watched from the side with expectant eyes.

After practicing for half a minute and still only producing "qing", beads of sweat started to form on Qingbao's forehead.

Under Shalala's expectant gaze, she bit the bullet and kept practicing: "Qing, qing, qing qing..."

"Yap yap."

Yabao waited for a long time. Seeing Qingbao still calling out "qing qing", he couldn't help calling out, suggesting that it was better to let Shalala practice instead, since Qingbao didn't need to learn it anyway.

Qingbao's practicing voice came to an abrupt halt. After two seconds of silence, she called out: "Qing qing."

You have a point.

After saying that, she looked at Shalala, gesturing with her eyes that it could practice now.

"Xia xia."

Shalala instantly forgot that Qingbao had failed after practicing for so long. Showing a serious expression, it nodded and opened its mouth.

"Qiao Sang!"

Just as it was preparing to practice its pronunciation, a voice suddenly sounded.

Shalala turned its head and saw unfamiliar humans. Remembering the previous advice, it shut its mouth and stopped practicing.

"Teacher!" Qiao Sang looked toward the sound and saw several figures appearing out of thin air, calling out in pleasant surprise.

She had originally planned to look for her teacher after Shalala learned the language of Little Dumb Fruit, but she hadn't expected her teacher to find her first.

"It's good that you're safe." 

Mikayla walked over quickly. Seeing that Qiao Sang was completely unharmed, she let out a sigh of relief, then said in a solemn tone while keeping a vigilant eye on the surroundings: "Let's leave here first."

"That's right." 

Beside her, Leon said with a serious face, "This fertile forest has an extremely powerful pet that can freeze time, freezing both Mikayla and me in place for an entire day."

Frozen in place for an entire day... Hearing this, Qiao Sang felt inexplicably guilty, so much so that she didn't answer right away.

Spengami's eyes glowed with blue light.

"Mo mo!"

However, right at that moment, Dragon King showed an anxious expression and let out a call.

Where is Moda Power Dragon!

The blue light in Spengami's eyes dissipated. Seeing that there was indeed no sign of Moda Power Dragon around, its expression turned grave.

Mikayla translated with a heavy heart: "Where is Moda Power Dragon?"

Qiao Sang looked at Teacher Mikayla, then at Dragon King, sighed, and said: "Moda Power Dragon is gone."

Dragon King took a step back, as if dealt an unprecedented blow. Then it showed an extremely furious expression, opening its mouth: "Mo..."

Before it could finish speaking, Qiao Sang pulled out her phone, opened the video, placed it in front of Dragon King, and said: "Take a look, this is what Moda Power Dragon said to you before leaving."

Dragon King froze for a moment, suppressing the anger inside. With eyes filled with grief and even a few tears, it looked at the phone.

Qiao Sang pressed play.

Mikayla and Spengami couldn't help leaning in as well.

"Mo mo."

What came into view was Moda Power Dragon looking happy toward the camera.

Dragon King was dumbfounded.

"Mo mo, mo mo." Moda Power Dragon narrated happily and seriously.

"Kui kui."

Then, Kuihuangling entered the frame, nodding to the camera.

"Mo mo."

Finally, Moda Power Dragon cheerfully waved its claw at the camera.

The video ended there.

Mikayla, Spengami, and Dragon King all fell silent.

"What's going on?" Leon, who hadn't watched the video, couldn't help asking.

"It's just as shown in the video, Moda Power Dragon left with Kuihuangling." 

Qiao Sang looked at Dragon King and said in a slightly heavy tone, "I know you hate to part with Moda Power Dragon, but that's Kuihuangling. Learning under it will definitely offer Moda Power Dragon a great future."

Pausing, she added: "Besides, this was arranged by the Tenth Seat. Kuihuangling works under the Tenth Seat, so since Moda Power Dragon can follow Kuihuangling, it might even be able to follow the Tenth Seat in the future."

All eyes abruptly turned to look over.

"Kuihuangling? The Tenth Seat?" Leon's pupils shrank suddenly, unable to understand how a small Moda Power Dragon could suddenly get involved with such beings.

"You said the Tenth Seat?" Mikayla looked at Qiao Sang in shock. 

"You saw the Tenth Seat?"

Qiao Sang nodded with an "Mm": "This fertile forest is actually the place where the Tenth Seat gathers rare pets."

At this point, she paused and gave a reasonable guess: "I think the place where you were looking for gathering rare pets recently should be right here."

"However, there are no natural treasures where they gather, it's just a pure gathering, probably just like the one Dragon King attended back then with the Tenth Seat."

The Tenth Seat had previously ruled that no humans were allowed to enter or know about this place, fearing the gathering would be disturbed. Now that the gathering was over, there were naturally no more concerns, so it wasn't something that strictly required secrecy.

Qiao Sang then thought of something, coughed, and continued: "If I guessed correctly, you two were probably placed under time freeze by the Tenth Seat."

She didn't say she had seen it with her own eyes.

Silence. A deathly silence.

Mikayla and Leon froze in place, their expressions completely blank.

The amount of information was too huge, they needed time to digest it.

Before hearing these words, they never imagined that this matter was connected to the legendary Tenth Seat.

Suddenly, Dragon King flapped its wings, flew high into the air, and shouted at the top of its lungs with full grief and indignation: "Mo mo!!!"

"Mo mo!!!"

"Mo mo!!!"

Moda Power Dragon! Moda Power Dragon!

I'm your leader.

If you're leaving, you should take me with you!

"Don't, don't yell anymore..." 

Mikayla snapped back to reality amidst Dragon King's calls and said, "Moda Power Dragon and the Tenth Seat are no longer here."

"Mo mo!!!" Dragon King ignored her and kept shouting.

Mikayla took a deep breath, calmed her emotions, looked at Qiao Sang, and asked as calmly as possible: "You... went in and attended the gathering?"

Qiao Sang nodded and answered embarrassedly: "I went in. I was scared to death at first, thinking something bad was going to happen, but later I found out it was a gathering hosted by the Tenth Seat."

Leon, having initially digested the news, muttered: "How did you get in?"

"It was all thanks to Qingbao." Qiao Sang said. 

"A few pets inside recognized Qingbao as a legendary pet and brought her in. As her Beast Tamer, I had the honor of following along."

"Qing qing."

Qingbao called out sweetly from the side.

Mikayla and Leon turned to look at Qingbao. While finding the news hard to process, they also felt it was reasonable.

After all, this was a legendary pet.

After a few seconds of silence, Mikayla spoke up: "Let's go back first."

Spengami's eyes glowed with blue light.

Qiao Sang acted quickly and picked up Shalala.

The next second, the group of people and pets appeared at the hotel entrance.

"Mo mo!!!"

Dragon King turned, preparing to fly back toward the fertile forest.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang couldn't help saying: "Moda Power Dragon has already left with Kuihuangling, as well as the Tenth Seat. They all left using spatial skills, I saw it with my own eyes."

Dragon King fell silent instantly, stopping its frantic shouting. It turned around and looked over with quite a resentful expression.

Why are you looking at me like that... Qiao Sang felt bewildered under its gaze and avoided Dragon King's eyes.

"Why did you bring a Little Dumb Fruit?" Only then did Mikayla notice the extra Little Dumb Fruit.

Shalala stayed obediently in her arms, remembering the previous instructions and keeping its mouth shut.

Since Teacher Leon was beside them, Qiao Sang said: "I felt quite a connection with it, so I brought it along."

Mikayla: ???

A connection with a Little Dumb Fruit? Mikayla sized up Little Dumb Fruit several times without noticing anything special. She stopped dwelling on it and turned to Leon instead, saying: "Since this matter has reached a conclusion, there is nothing left for us to cooperate on."

"You're right." 

After saying that, Leon gave Qiao Sang a complex look before returning to his usual expression and smiling: "I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."

Qiao Sang froze for a moment and subconsciously nodded.

Leon walked toward the hotel with his black humanoid pet.

Mikayla's expression showed a trace of tiredness as she said: "If I guessed correctly, however long I was frozen in time, that's how long the Tenth Seat's gathering lasted. As a human staying among a crowd of rare pets for so long, you must have been under a lot of pressure. Go back to your room and get a good rest first."

Ah? Pressure? I had none at all... Qiao Sang looked down at Shalala and spoke up: "Before resting, there are a few things I'd like to tell you."

---

Hotel.

Suite.

Dragon King stood by the window, looking at the scenery outside with a face full of melancholy.

"What did you want to say?" Mikayla sat down on the sofa and asked.

"There was a Jujiji at the Tenth Seat's gathering." Qiao Sang sat on the single sofa nearby and said seriously. 

"I asked it to take a look at the future for Yabao and the others. Their evolution paths all the way to the Emperor level are almost completely clear now."

Mikayla froze at first, then suddenly straightened her back. All the fatigue on her face vanished, and her eyes shone brightly as she stared at Qiao Sang and asked: "What are the evolution paths for Blazing Divine Lion and the others?"

"To reach the Imperial level, Yabao needs to get close to the sun, and to reach the Emperor level, three materials are needed, which are..." Qiao Sang went on and explained all of Yabao's and the others' evolution paths up to the Emperor level in detail.

Mikayla was silent for a dozen seconds before asking: "You mean Jujiji couldn't see what happens after Blazing Divine Lion and the others reach the Emperor level?"

Qiao Sang nodded with an "Mm".

With lingering excitement on her face, Mikayla said: "This is a great opportunity for you. Not being able to see past the Emperor level isn't a big problem. What matters most is that you now know their unknown evolution paths ahead of time, which saves us a lot of time and effort."

After speaking, she sighed with emotion: "The Fate Spirit's prediction was truly correct, your opportunity lies on Flame Star."

"There's one more thing." Qiao Sang said.

"What is it?" Mikayla asked casually.

She felt that nothing could be more exciting than the news about Jujiji.

"Actually, it's Shalala." Qiao Sang said, scooping the Little Dumb Fruit beside her into her arms.

"Xia xia."

Shalala understood that it was being introduced and gave a greeting.

Immediately after, its body transformed, reverting back to its true form.

Mikayla: !!!
