After solving the mystery of why he was wet, Yabao resud his skill release as usual.
If it weren't for the training, Qiao Sang wouldn't have gone through the trouble of moving out of the school in the first place.
However, now that she knew there was a Water Luriana in the pool, Qiao Sang was in a bit of a dilemma.
If she wanted to build a good relationship with Water Luriana, she couldn't go around damaging its ho.
While water could be replenished, their relationship with Water Luriana wasn't exactly good at the mont.
After thinking for a long ti, Qiao Sang could only tell Yabao to release his skills on an empty plot of land far from the pool.
After all, most of the courtyard had already been ruined by the fire rain.
When they moved out, they'd eventually need to hire soone to fix it, so a few more damages wouldn't make much of a difference.
In the courtyard, the explosive sounds of flas hitting the ground echoed non-stop.
Dust rose, and debris scattered everywhere, inevitably landing in the pool.
Underneath the water, Water Luriana opened its eyes, staring at the now murky pond, and bubbles instantly rose from its nostrils.
That night, a puddle of water seeped through the crack under the bedroom door...

The next morning, Qiao Sang was once again awakened by a piercing scream.
Startled, she sat up in bed and saw the exact sa scene as the previous day.
Leaning against the headboard, Qiao Sang rubbed her forehead and said, "Your fla body."
Yabao's wails abruptly stopped, and the air seed to freeze for a mont.
Little Treasure silently sipped his milk nearby.
After using his flaming body to evaporate the water on himself, Yabao imdiately perked up.
He spun around, ready to dash toward the courtyard.
"Yap!"
It must have been that guy again! He was going to fight it for three hundred rounds!
"Wait, there's not enough ti. We need to head to school first." Qiao Sang quickly made up an excuse to stop him.
She was feeling a headache coming on. Fire-type and water-type pet beasts naturally didn't get along.
After all these incidents, would she really be able to get along with Water Luriana?
"Yap..."
Reluctantly, Yabao stopped in his tracks.
To keep up the lie, Qiao Sang had no choice but to leave 40 minutes early.
Only those who had experienced this kind of ordeal could understand the struggle.
Once it was certain the house was empty, Water Luriana finally closed its eyes in peace.
Last night, it had nearly exhausted itself trying to replace the dirty water with clean water...
Humans were truly cruel, dumping fire into the pond, forcing it to replenish half its water, and even polluting it so badly that it had to change all the water again from top to bottom.
So cruel...
If it weren't for the ghostly pet that never slept following her around, it would have definitely made him taste the power of water.
Drowsily, Water Luriana fell asleep.
A red-and-white figure appeared by the pond...

On the way to school.
Sitting on Yabao’s back, Qiao Sang was surprised to notice that when they reached the spot from the previous day, about 290 ters away, Yabao didn’t pause but continued moving forward.
"Is your clone still at ho?" Qiao Sang asked.
Since she wasn’t walking herself today, she couldn’t count her steps. Qiao Sang had to estimate the distance by comparing it to the previous day.
They must have already covered 300 ters.
"Yap."
As Yabao walked, he nodded.
Qiao Sang found it unbelievable.
What had happened? How did the range for controlling the clone increase overnight?
Yabao walked on, his brain working at full speed, attention divided, ntal energy draining, his expression more focused than during any of his usual training sessions.
His master was rushing to school, so while he didn’t have ti to give that culprit a beating, his clone could!
With this thought in mind, Yabao focused even more on controlling his clone.
After advancing another 50 ters, Yabao finally stopped, looking a bit disappointed.
Qiao Sang smiled brightly, patting Yabao on the head and praising, "Your progress is as fast as lightning."
"Yap..."
Yabao squinted his eyes in comfort.
If Qiao Sang knew that Yabao had improved his focus and control just to fight Water Luriana, she probably wouldn’t be smiling anymore.
As they were about to arrive at school, her phone buzzed. It was an unfamiliar number.
"Hello?"
Normally, Qiao Sang wouldn’t answer unfamiliar calls, but this was a special ti, and she hadn’t heard back about the 5 million reward yet.
She’d been carrying her phone 24/7, eagerly waiting for it to ring. She’d answer any call that ca through, no matter the number.
"Hello, is this Miss Qiao Sang?"
"Yes, it’s ."
"This is the Public Security Bureau of Hanggang City. Your bounty has been approved. Would you be able to co collect it today?"
"I can!"
Heaven knows how many sleepless nights she had spent, tossing and turning, waiting for this call!
After hanging up, Qiao Sang imdiately called the vice-principal to request leave.
She didn’t explain the exact reason, just said she had sothing to take care of.
Liu Yao, the vice-principal, was left speechless.
Who asks for leave from the vice-principal?
"Don’t you have your horoom teacher’s contact information?" Liu Yao asked tactfully.
Still in her state of excitent, Qiao Sang completely missed the subtle hint: "Vice-principal, you’re so clever! How did you know I didn’t?"
Liu Yao: ...
Just as Qiao Sang thought the call had ended, Liu Yao spoke again: "If you finish your business today and have ti, co to my office. I’ve been so busy I forgot to help you plan your pet’s training direction."
"I’ll have ti!"
Qiao Sang hung up happily.
What a good person... She was starting to think the vice-principal was very reliable.

The call had co from the Public Security Bureau of Hanggang City.
Qitang Town was under the jurisdiction of Hanggang City, so for such a large bounty, she needed to go to the higher-level bureau to collect it.
Knowing she could collect it today, Qiao Sang wasn’t in a rush anymore. After all, it was still early.
She opened the navigation app and set off for the Public Security Bureau while sitting on Yabao’s back.
If one looked closely, they’d notice Yabao was hovering a centiter above the ground.
Qiao Sang never forgot to train Yabao, even in monts like this...
Forty minutes later, they arrived at the Public Security Bureau.
As soon as Qiao Sang entered, a long-haired beauty holding a microphone approached, followed by a chubby bird with a cara around its neck.
"Hello, I’m a reporter from the Hanggang Focus Channel. May I interview you?"
Qiao Sang was taken aback. The last ti she was interviewed by a reporter was during the Bai Xin Competition. Could that still be generating buzz?
"Sorry, I’m busy right now." Qiao Sang declined.
This was no ti for jokes, this was the Public Security Bureau, and she was about to collect 5 million yuan.
If the interview went public, and people found out she’d collected a 5-million-yuan bounty, what if everyone started asking to borrow money from her?
"I just thought your pet looked like the recently rumored new evolution of the Fire Fang Dog. I wanted to know its na." The reporter explained.
So it wasn’t about the Bai Xin Competition...
"Sorry, not convenient right now." Qiao Sang still refused.
Five minutes later, Qiao Sang, accompanied by an officer from the registration desk, entered a designated reception room.
Inside, she saw a familiar face.
"Hello, are you Miss Qiao Sang, the one who subdued the Class-A wanted criminal Zhou Xian? I’m a reporter from Hanggang Focus Channel, here specifically to interview you. We just t earlier." The reporter smiled, microphone in hand.
Qiao Sang: ...
