Little Treasure stuck out his tongue, looking bewildered.
“What’s wrong?” Qiao Sang asked, confused by the Crowned ow’s actions.
“Crown, Crown.”
Crowned ow pointed at Little Treasure’s tongue with its paw and then turned its head away in disgust.
Little Treasure was suddenly struck like a bolt from the blue, quietly retracting his tongue.
Although Qiao Sang couldn’t understand what Crowned ow was saying, it wasn’t hard to guess its aning from its actions and Little Treasure’s expression.
It was clearly disapproving of the "Lick" skill...
As a responsible sparring partner, Qiao Sang said, “If you can’t overco this, no one will care what you think during a real battle. You might even encounter skills like Stomach Acid, Sludge Wave, and others.”
“You don’t know what the Stomach Acid skill is, do you? It’s when-”
“Crown!”
Crown ow suddenly interrupted Qiao Sang before she could continue.
It raised its right front paw, signaling a pause, and then turned its head towards the bag on the spectator bench.
Its eyes glowed blue, and the bag opened, causing a stack of alliance coins to float out and land in front of Qiao Sang.
Qiao Sang’s pupils dilated as she stared at the stack of coins in shock for a few monts.
Could this be... bribery?!
“Is this for ?” Qiao Sang asked with a complex mix of emotions.
“Crown.”
Crowned ow nodded.
Qiao Sang hesitated, “Just so Little Treasure won’t use Lick?”
“Crown.”
Crowned ow nodded again.
Wow, this really is a bribe! My first ti being bribed, and it’s by a pet... Qiao Sang worked hard to look away from the coins, standing tall and righteous as she said:
“Take the money back. I’m your sparring partner, and you’ve already paid for this session. Your goal here should be self-improvent, not avoiding challenges.”
No sooner had she finished speaking than the bag opened again, and another stack of coins flew out in front of her.
Qiao Sang: !!!
What kind of divine pet is this... Qiao Sang said with difficulty, “Just take the money away. I’ll make sure Little Treasure doesn’t use Lick.”
She feared that if she didn’t agree soon, Crowned ow might throw even more money at her.
If this money had been given by Crowned ow’s beast master, she would have agreed without hesitation, people eager to hand over money aren’t common, after all.
But this money ca from Crowned ow, and it clearly belonged to its beast master. If the beast master found out, there would undoubtedly be a heated discussion.
It’d be like a mischievous child spending their parents’ money on a pile of ga cards at a corner shop.
Not only would the shopkeeper get scolded by the kid’s parents, but the incident might even make the news.
Besides, at least the corner shop gave the kid sothing, she had nothing to offer Crowned ow.
“Crown.”
Seeing Qiao Sang agree, Crowned ow nodded, used its psychic power to return the money to the bag, and signaled the battle to continue.
Qiao Sang let out a sigh of relief and turned to Little Treasure.
“Let’s skip using Lick for now.”
“Xun…”
Little Treasure pouted, still reeling from the blow.
Was his tongue really that disgusting?
If it wasn’t disgusting, why use it as a skill in the first place… Qiao Sang answered in her mind, but aloud she said, “I’ll let you play with the virtual helt when we get back.”
“Xun!”
Little Treasure's spirits lifted instantly, and he looked at Crowned ow with renewed determination.
Qiao Sang: ...
It seed her previous suspicion was right.
Not only was Little Treasure addicted, but he was still thinking about it...
Crowned ow, seeing Little Treasure’s gaze fixed on it, wasted no ti. Its eyes glowed blue.
Little Treasure, who also possessed psychic abilities, was all too familiar with this move.
He vanished from his spot.
“Crown.”
Crowned ow lost sight of its target and began scanning the surroundings cautiously.
In the next second, Little Treasure’s face appeared enlarged right in front of it.
“Crown!”
Crowned ow jumped in fright, its fur standing on end, elegance shattered.
“Xun.”
Little Treasure grinned, his eyes glowing purple.
Qiao Sang’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly shouted, “Don’t use Hypnosis!”
“Xun?”
Little Treasure's purple glow faded as he turned his head in confusion to look at his beast master.
Qiao Sang suppressed the urge to tell the truth.
She couldn’t very well say that Crowned ow was too weak and that his well-mastered Hypnosis skill would knock it out for the entire hour of sparring...
Just as Qiao Sang was thinking of how to respond, Crowned ow finally realized sothing.
It couldn’t beat Little Treasure...
“Crown.”
Crowned ow called for another pause.
It walked over to the phone recording the session, used its paw to delete the footage, then picked up its bag and walked gracefully over to Qiao Sang, placing the bag on the ground and pushing it forward with its paw.
“Crown.”
What is this supposed to an... Qiao Sang was dumbfounded. Before she could speak, Little Treasure floated over to provide a live translation.
“Xun, xun.”
“Crown, Crown.”
“Xun, xun xun.”
“Crown.”
“...”
After three minutes of Little Treasure’s translations, Qiao Sang finally understood.
“You want to shoot a video where you beat Little Treasure, even though he can use teleportation?”
“Crown.” Crown ow nodded.
“Why?” Qiao Sang didn’t get it.
“Crown, Crown.”
“Xun, xun.”
Little Treasure started translating.
Qiao Sang listened silently for a mont, then asked, “You’re saying your beast master wants you to learn teleportation and has devised so kind of cruel training regin?”
“Crown!”
Crowned ow nodded emphatically.
“So, you want to make a video proving you can defeat a teleporting pet without learning teleportation?” Qiao Sang continued.
“Crown!”
Qiao Sang couldn’t help but feel a bit sorry for Crowned ow.
So beast masters don’t consider their pets' wishes during training, and it seed Crowned ow’s master was one of them.
Crowned ow’s graceful appearance and the fact that it had co alone at night for training made Qiao Sang believe its story.
“Even if you show this video to your beast master, they’ll still make you learn teleportation.” Qiao Sang pointed out the harsh reality.
For psychic-type pets, teleportation was almost a must-have skill, very few beast masters would let it go.
Crowned ow’s expression stiffened briefly, and then it pushed the bag forward again with its paw.
“Crown.”
This ti, before Little Treasure Ghost could translate, Qiao Sang said, “I have a way to help you learn teleportation without it being exhausting. Want to give it a try?”
“Crown.”
Crowned ow hesitated for a couple of seconds before nodding.
“It’s like learning to teleport by thinking about passing gas.” Qiao Sang picked up Little Treasure and added, “That’s how he learned teleportation.”
“Not only that, but Little Treasure taught another one of my pets teleportation in less than an hour.”
“Treasure!”
Little Treasure Ghost raised his head proudly.
Just when Qiao Sang thought Crowned ow would be thrilled.
Without a word, Crowned ow used its psychic power to loop its bag around its neck, turned, and headed for the door.
Qiao Sang was stunned.
This plot didn’t make sense!
Shouldn’t Crowned ow be overjoyed to hear such an easy way to learn teleportation and imdiately offer tuition? Then she could righteously accept the bag of money.
Why was it leaving?!
Just as Crowned ow was about to exit, it suddenly stopped.
Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief. See? Her plot wasn’t wrong.
Crowned ow turned around, its eyes glowing blue. Its sun hat, sunglasses, and phone floated up from the spectator bench, returning to their rightful places on its body.
Then, without looking back, it left Training Field No. 2.
Qiao Sang: ...
