As the airplane doors opened, Qiao Sang, wrapped in a down jacket, stepped out with dark circles under her eyes and an unsteady gait.
She took a deep breath of the fresh, chilly air, finally feeling a bit more awake.
Staying up all night really isn’t for humans… Qiao Sang thought to herself.
Liu Yao followed behind her, noticing her exhausted appearance. Rembering how she had spent the entire night studying, he softened a little and said gently:
"Go ho and get so rest. Don’t go to school today, I’ll help you request a leave of absence."
"Request leave? The college entrance exam is only a few months away. How can I take a day off?" Qiao Sang’s weak voice carried a serious tone.
"I’m not the type of person who needs a break just because I missed one night of sleep."
Liu Yao: ??
He was utterly stunned. So all those tis she had asked him to call in sick before… was that a ghost?
Under Liu Yao’s bewildered gaze, Qiao Sang walked down the stairs and stepped into a quiet, passenger-free area nearby. She ford a hand seal and summoned Lubao.
Before Qiao Sang could even say a word, Lubao imdiately understood the state she was in. Without hesitation, she cast Healing Light.
Nearby passengers turned their heads, watching in curiosity.
As the blue glow faded, Qiao Sang was instantly refreshed, her dark circles completely gone.
Using a super-tier skill like Healing Light just because you pulled an all-nighter… Liu Yao took a deep breath, trying to calm himself.
He quickly averted his gaze, worried that if he kept looking, his heart wouldn’t be able to take it.

Shengshui High School.
At this mont, a swarm of reporters and paparazzi had gathered at the school gates.
Several journalists were clustered outside the security office.
"Is Qiao Sang returning today? The cheerleading team and Teacher Sun already ca back yesterday afternoon, why didn’t she return with them?"
"Is her horoom teacher at school? Can we interview him?"
"The chairman of Tengcheng Group has expressed willingness to donate five million yuan to your school. Have you received any official notice?"
"Even during holidays, the school team continues their training. With winter break approaching, will Qiao Sang still be attending training sessions?"
"Rumors say Qiao Sang has secured a spot as an interstellar exchange student. Which planet and school will she be going to?"
What kind of questions are these? How would I know? The security guard in the booth wisely chose to remain silent.
The growing crowd of onlookers included office workers passing by and elderly residents on their way to buy groceries.
A confused passerby asked, "What’s going on? Why are there so many reporters?"
A helpful elderly woman explained, "I heard a student from Shengshui High School won a national championship."
"A championship?" The passerby blinked.
"What kind of championship is important enough to attract this many reporters?"
"The National Campus Beast Mastering League Championship." The elderly woman replied.
"Ohhh, beast-taming. That makes sense." The passerby nodded in understanding.
Of course. Other than a championship related to beast-taming, what other kind of title could warrant this level of dia attention?

Across the street, inside a taxi, Qiao Sang peeked out the window at the crowded school gate. Her heart trembled slightly
This kind of scene… if she walked in now, wouldn’t she be torn apart?
"Aren’t you two getting out?" The driver, who had already received his fare, asked.
"Hold on, just a mont." Liu Yao responded, then began forming a hand seal.
Qiao Sang imdiately understood his intent, he wanted to summon Teacher Xian.
This isn’t sothing a teacher should handle… Qiao Sang quickly stopped him.
"No need. I’ve got this."
She turned and called softly into the air, "Little Treasure."
"Xun~"
Liu Yao barely had ti to react before everything went dark.
Liu Yao: !!!
Taxi driver: !!!
Little Treasure was no longer the sa as before. After rigorous training, he had mastered precision teleportation.
When Qiao Sang's vision cleared, she found herself standing near the school’s main building, the closest location to the gate.
Around her were students in school uniforms, each holding what looked like party poppers. They were all focused on the gate, chatting excitedly.
"Is God Qiao really coming? She’s a day student, and she just got off a flight."
"Of course she’s coming! Would the school have let us skip morning self-study just to prepare this surprise otherwise?"
"Good point. But the reporters outside… do you think they’ll block her way?"
"That shouldn’t be a problem. Her Ghost Ring Phantom has spatial movent abilities. Besides, the vice principal is with her."
"Xun~"
Little Treasure nodded, confirming their guesses.
Suddenly, everything fell silent.
A voice rang out, "AH! It’s God Qiao! And her Ghost Ring Phantom!"
The next second, all eyes turned toward her.
Then, chaos erupted.
The students cheered as if they had spotted their biggest idol.
Qiao Sang barely had ti to react before she was lifted into the air.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Party poppers went off, showering colorful strears and confetti everywhere.
"GOD SHEN! GOD SHEN!"
"GOD QIAO! GOD QIAO!"
The entire campus of Shengshui High School was filled with electrifying excitent.
Qiao Sang looked up at the sky, then at the youthful, energetic faces surrounding her. Her heartbeat quickened, and a strange warmth surged in her chest.
This was a kind of youth she had never experienced in her past life.

anwhile, on the other side…
Liu Yao was barely keeping himself together, his large belly squished by the crowd.
"Stop pushing! Everyone, stop pushing!" He yelled.
"Where are the teachers? The principal? Soone needs to control this situation!"

An hour later, at the Principal’s Office.
"The Yuhua Daily, Yuhua TV, and Yuhua Beast-Taming News all want to interview you. Do you want to et with them?" Wang Weidou asked
Many dia outlets wanted interviews, but these three were the most authoritative in the Yuhua region.
"No." Qiao Sang declined without hesitation.
Before, she might have considered accepting interviews to promote her family’s beast-taming shop.
But after seeing the world beyond her ho, she understood just how expensive nurturing beast companions could be. Relying solely on the shop’s inco wasn’t a long-term solution.
Her priority now was the college entrance exam, getting into a top-tier school in Zhongkong District and establishing herself there was the real path forward.
"Got it. I’ll turn them down for you." Wang Weidou agreed imdiately.
What’s a few prestigious news stations compared to his school’s star player? There was no way he would force her to do sothing she didn’t want.
"By the way."
He continued, "The interstellar exchange program results are out. Your na is on the list."
Saying this, he handed her a form and a pen.
Qiao Sang took the pen, unscrewing the cap while scanning the form.
Then she froze.
"Chaosu Star?"
