Chaopter 835: Return to Blue Star
One month later.
Blue Star.
Yuhua Region.
Starport.
Wearing a pure black down jacket and a scarf, Qiao Sang carried Yabao in her arms as she walked down the starship ramp with Liu Yao.
The mont she stepped outside, a fierce, icy wind howled past.
This weather… really takes getting used to. Qiao Sang couldn’t help but hold Yabao a little tighter.
Liu Yao, one hand pulling his suitcase and the other holding his phone, glanced at the ssages and said: “I won’t send you ho. Since I’ve been away from the institute for a while, a lot of things have piled up that I need to deal with.”
“Do you need to co over?” Qiao Sang asked.
She rembered that the vice principal’s main research at the mont was Yabao’s brand-new evolution chain.
“No need.” Liu Yao smiled.
“I already recorded all the necessary data while we were on Chaosu Star.”
Most of the instrunts were still at the Blue Star research institute.
Originally, the plan was to take Yabao to the institute for a full check-up after returning to Blue Star.
But Qiao Sang’s unexpected fa on Chaosu Star ant many people, once they learned of his connection to her, offered equipnt and help, allowing him to finish the examinations there smoothly.
Liu Yao paused, then said: “Also, I’m planning to visit the place Adinishi predicted for . I want to see what exactly will happen there.”
Qiao Sang hesitated.
“That place might indeed be a turning point, but I’ve heard the predictions don’t always co true imdiately. So people have waited over ten years at their predicted location before their pet beasts actually evolved.”
“It’s fine. I just want to take a look.” Liu Yao’s tone carried a trace of wistfulness.
“Only after seeing it for myself will I feel truly connected to Adinishi.”
Indeed, if it weren’t for everyone having that prophetic dream at the end, the days spent with Adinishi would’ve felt like a dream… Qiao Sang thought to herself.
“Enough about that.” Liu Yao rembered sothing, glanced at Yabao, and said seriously: “When Fire Qilu evolves again, you must inform right away.”
Yabao evolving? That’s still a long way off… Qiao Sang nodded.
“Don’t worry, I’ll tell you imdiately.”
“Yabao and the others have enough energy pills for a month. If they run out, you can make more using the recipe. Their progress is way too fast, ideally, energy pills for the early, middle, and late stages of each phase should all be reconfigured.”
“When you get to the Imperial Beast University, there will be many breeders more skilled than . Find one to check Yabao’s condition and make even more suitable pills.”
Why does his confidence drop whenever the Imperial Beast University is ntioned… Qiao Sang said seriously: “The pills you made are already their favorite.”
“Yap!”
Yabao barked in agreent.
Liu Yao froze for a mont, then chuckled.
“No, what I an is, right now, the pills are for their current stage. But in a few months, they might already be in the mid-stage. At that point, they’ll need a new formula.”
For a General-level beast to go from early to mid-stage usually takes years.
If he hadn’t personally seen Qiao Sang’s outrageous progress, Liu Yao wouldn’t have thought to remind her.
Oops… I misunderstood. Qiao Sang kept her face straight. “Got it.”
After a pause, she said: “Vice Principal, you should still co to my house for a al before leaving. My mom said she prepared a lot of food and told to bring you.”
“Thank your mom for .” Liu Yao glanced again at a newly arrived ssage and declined.
“But I really do have things to handle. Another ti, for sure.”
Then he looked at her gently.
“I’ll go ahead. Contact anyti.”
Seeing this, Qiao Sang didn’t insist.
“Alright. Goodbye, Vice Principal.”
“Goodbye.” With that, Liu Yao pulled his suitcase toward the underground parking lot.
Qiao Sang carried Yabao toward the exit.
Along the way, she thought of sothing and turned to Gangbao, who was quietly observing everything nearby.
“Do you find this weather comfortable?”
“Gang slice.”
Gangbao nodded.
She felt relieved.
Up ahead, a pink rabbit-type pet beast was hopping forward with a large black backpack.
“Wait for ! You’re too fast!” A girl followed behind, panting and carrying several bags
“Hop-hop!”
The rabbit turned back, looking displeased, and called out, yet didn’t slow down.
The girl seed to understand and imdiately stopped complaining, silently keeping up.
“Gang slice…”
Gangbao tilted her head, intrigued by the scene.
anwhile, so passersby had noticed her.
A boy, about seven or eight, ran over politely.
“Big sister, is this your pet beast?
“Yes.” Qiao Sang nodded.
“Can I take a photo with it? It looks so cool!” The boy asked brightly.
“Of course.”
Just as Gangbao thought the boy ant Yabao, he instead approached her, shyly glancing over before looking away again.
“Gang slice…”
Gangbao looked confused.
So this human was calling handso?
Click! The mont was captured. Qiao Sang returned the boy’s phone.
“Done.”
“Thank you, big sister!” The boy happily ran back to a nearby woman.
Gangbao fell into deep thought.
It seed her appearance was popular on this Blue Star.
Leaving the starport, Qiao Sang saw a variety of pet beasts, so walking, so flying, so cradled in people’s arms.
“Gang slice…”
Watching all the ones being held, Gangbao was amazed.
What a strange world…
Suddenly, a familiar voice called out:
“Faithful!”
Following the sound, Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up. Hugging Yabao, she ran over happily.
“Mom! Faithful Owl!”
“You’ve gotten thinner! Was the starship food that bad?” Ye Xiangting carefully examined her daughter, trying to contain her excitent.
“Thinner?” Qiao Sang was surprised. She’d eaten well and slept enough during the trip, unlike the sleepless nights before.
“Not just thinner, taller too.” Ye Xiangting smiled.
Hearing this, Qiao Sang couldn’t help but grin. It really had been a long ti since she’d seen her mother.
“Yabao’s evolved form looks even more handso in person.” Ye Xiangting praised.
During her ti on Chaosu Star, Qiao Sang had kept in touch, updating her on Yabao’s evolution and even sending photos.
“Yap!”
Proudly, Yabao puffed out his chest.
“Xun~”
Little Treasure popped out to make his presence known.
Ye Xiangting glanced at its paws and gasped softly.
“It evolved, but it’s still so small? I thought the size difference didn’t show in the photos.”
“Xun…”
The cheerful Little Treasure imdiately shrank into himself.
Qiao Sang quickly coughed to change the subject.
“Mom, this is Gangbao, I ntioned her before.”
Before Gangbao could greet her, Ye Xiangting’s eyes lit up, her tone oddly proud.
“Of course I know. There’s nothing like her in Yuhua, no, in all of Blue Star! My first ti seeing a Chaosu Star pet beast.”
She pulled out her phone, switched on the cara, and took a photo with Gangbao.
Instinctively, Gangbao posed.
Ye Xiangting admired the picture, barely resisting posting it online. She smiled.
“Let’s go ho. I bought lots of treats for pet beasts. I know what Yabao likes, but for Gangbao, I bought snacks for steel-types and flying-types, hopefully there’s sothing you’ll enjoy.”
She hopped onto Faithful Owl’s back.
As Qiao Sang was about to climb on too, Ye Xiangting suddenly rembered.
“Where’s Vice Principal Liu? Didn’t he return with you?”
“He had business and left first.” Qiao Sang replied as she mounted the owl.
“You should’ve invited him over after all his help.”
“I did. He really was busy.”
“Fine, next ti then.”
As they spoke, Faithful Owl spread its wings.
Gangbao did the sa, but Faithful Owl turned and called out, inviting her to ride along, it was bigger and faster.
After a mont’s hesitation, Gangbao accepted.
High in the sky, she realized… this was a completely different world.
Qinglu Courtyard.
Building 17.
In the living room, Yabao and the others happily munched on their energy snacks.
“I heard from Qiao Sang you like minerals.” Ye Xiangting set down a plate of black crystals in front of Gangbao.
“Try these.”
Gangbao took a bite and froze. Two seconds later, she swallowed with effort, then nodded.
“You don’t like it, do you? Why nod?” She swapped it for a plate of brown crystals.
“Try this instead.”
Gangbao chewed and her eyes lit up.
“Looks like you prefer this one.” Ye Xiangting, having learned her taste, sat at the dining table.
“Been busy lately?” Qiao Sang asked casually.
“Not too bad.” Ye Xiangting replied.
“When Fire Fang Dog’s evolution path was revealed, it was the busiest. Now things are steady. I can even take ti off to send you to the Imperial Beast University.”
Her mood brightened.
“I never imagined I’d set foot there, let alone as a parent.”
“Since you’re finally back, I’m thinking of hosting another banquet to invite all our relatives. They keep saying they want to see our family’s pride and joy.”
At those words, her smile grew.
Two years ago, the Imperial Beast University, or even a top-tier school, was beyond imagining.
“Better not.” Qiao Sang quickly refused.
“I’m leaving for Eagle Nation in a few days.”
The Imperial Beast University’s ho country.
“So soon?” Ye Xiangting was taken aback.
“I want to get there early and get familiar with the place.” Qiao Sang said.
Her mother sighed.
“You just got back, and you even spent New Year on the starship. You should rest.”
“I just want to improve faster.” Qiao Sang replied between bites of roast duck.
“Everyone there will be older and stronger than .”
Ye Xiangting stared at her, emotions complex. She’d really grown up.
“Fine. I’ll go with you then.” She decided.
“Alright.” Qiao Sang didn’t object.
“Then tomorrow we’ll have the banquet.” Ye Xiangting said eagerly, picking up her phone.
Qiao Sang stopped her.
“Wait, one thing first.”
She turned to Little Treasure.
“Get the Veil Serum.”
After reluctantly finishing a fruit, Little Treasure pulled a small bottle from his storage ring.
“What’s this?”
“The Veil Serum.” Qiao Sang explained.
“I exchanged for it at Yulianton University. It boosts ntal capacity without side effects.”
Ye Xiangting froze.
“It works best in the morning. Take it, then ditate all day.” Qiao Sang instructed.
Her mother quickly pushed it back.
“Sothing this valuable, you keep it.”
Qiao Sang’s heart ward.
“It can only be used once in a lifeti. I’ve already taken mine. I brought this just for you.”
Her mother’s eyes reddened slightly, but she masked it with a casual tone.
“I have Faithful Owl, that’s enough.”
“I wanted to.” Qiao Sang said firmly.
“This must’ve been hard to get, right?”
“No, it was easy, just used so points I earned at the start of school.”
Ye Xiangting didn’t believe it for a second, but accepted it anyway.
“Since you brought it just for , I’ll use it.” She said.
“So… about tomorrow’s banquet…”
“What banquet? I need to stay ho and ditate tomorrow.”
Perfect. Qiao Sang thought.
