Chapter 1057: I Only Want to Bond with Thunder Dragon
Chapter 1057: I Only Want to Bond with Thunder Dragon
"Qingqing!"
Qingbao's face changed drastically, his breathing paused, and a sudden gust of wind slammed the door shut.
He then quickly floated to the farthest corner from the door, taking deep breaths of fresh air, as if he had just endured an unbearable smell.
Qingbao's requirements for air quality were getting higher and higher... Qiao Sang saw this and silently rubbed her forehead.
"Ding Dong~"
At that moment, the doorbell rang again.
Qiao Sang got up and walked to the door.
Qingbao's face changed, and the Wind Transformation vanished.
Qiao Sang opened the door, and an unpleasant, rotten-flower-like smell immediately hit her.
She had once experienced the most foul stench in the Mystic Realm 88, where Lulu purified wastewater, so her tolerance for bad smells was very high.
Though the smell from Meichouni wasn't pleasant, to Qiao Sang, who had endured the most horrendous stench, it was merely somewhat unpleasant.
Qiao Sang maintained a calm expression and apologized, "Sorry, a gust of wind just slammed the door. Is there something you need?"
"Meimei..."
Meichouni stared at the human in front of her, taken aback.
Her expression was calm, without the usual signs of disgust that others couldn't hide, even if they smiled on the surface.
"Meimei."
Meichouni steadied herself, smiled, and handed over the bouquet of flowers.
"Are these for me?" Qiao Sang pointed to herself, surprised.
"Meimei."
Meichouni nodded.
Qiao Sang took the flowers with a smile and said, "Thank you."
"Meimei." Meichouni called out with a smile, then turned to leave.
"Wait a moment", Qiao Sang called out.
Meichouni's body stiffened, and the two leaves on her head instinctively straightened.
Could this human have discovered something...
Qiao Sang turned and walked into the kitchen, then brought out a few fruits, handing them to Meichouni with a gentle voice, "These are Energy Fruits. Eating them can increase your energy. You can take them back and try them."
"Meimei..."
Meichouni stared at the human holding the fruits, stunned.
Qiao Sang noticed she didn't take them and asked, "Don't you like them?"
"Meimei!"
Meichouni shook her head quickly, took the fruits, bowed, and ran away.
Back at the villa, Meichouni found a clean plate to place the fruits on, then went to the room filled with photos.
She turned on the light and stared at one particular photo.
Black hair and black eyes, with a high ponytail and slightly upturned eyes—it was Qiao Sang.
"Meimei..."
Meichouni stared at the photo for a few seconds, as if making a decision. The two leaves on her head suddenly transformed into Vine Whips, which she used to tear down all the other photos on the wall.
Soon, only Qiao Sang's photo remained on the wall.
...
At the villa, Qiao Sang casually stuck the flowers into a vase.
A slightly irritable gust of wind blew through, lifting the bouquet and tossing it out the window, scattering it across the Hollow Plains.
"Tingting..."
Thunder Dragon channeled energy, and yellow lightning arcs appeared on its body.
Suddenly, it caught a whiff of an unpleasant smell.
Thunder Dragon frowned, stopped training, and sniffed the air, following the scent to the bouquet of flowers.
It lowered its head and sniffed closer.
Confirming that the smell came from the bouquet, Thunder Dragon raised its tail, condensed a silver-white light, and swung it forcefully.
The flowers were instantly flung into the sky, disappearing into a point of starlight.
"Qingqing~"
Qingbao appeared beside Thunder Dragon, gave a thumbs up, and called out.
Well done.
The Thunder Dragon glanced at it, not responding, and turned to crawl to the other side, continuing to release Lightning Power.
Qingbao: “……”
……
Living room.
Migala, sitting on the sofa, suddenly said:
“This meichouni probably has a crush on you.”
Qiao Sang: “???”
Migala continued, “It’s wearing a black Miniaturization Band, living in this villa, and has come over to give you flowers for two consecutive days. It must want you to be its Beastmaster.”
“No way,” Qiao Sang disagreed. “It might just be trying to be friendly with the neighbors.”
“Do you know why familiars can get loans to buy houses?” Migala asked.
The topic shifted too quickly… Qiao Sang shook her head.
“No.”
“The bank assesses familiars based on their race and talent,” Migala explained. “As long as a familiar has talent and can evolve, it can easily live longer than a regular human. Familiars with talent don’t have to worry about finding a bond, so many of them take out loans to buy houses.”
“Does every familiar who buys a house end up looking for a bond?” Qiao Sang asked.
Migala pondered for a moment and said, “Most wild beast companions do. After buying a house, they either earn money to pay off the loan or apply to the bank to work it off monthly. Over time, the tasks the bank assigns can become too difficult, and the companions start looking for a Beastmaster.”
“Meichouni bought a house in this area, so the mortgage must be high. It’s probably very eager to find a Beastmaster.”
She paused and smiled, “Meichouni would naturally consider the people in this villa district first. It’s given you flowers for two days in a row; its intentions are pretty clear.”
Not clear at all, I can’t see it at all. This just seems like friendly neighborliness… Qiao Sang thought Migala was overthinking it but didn’t say so. Instead, she said:
“It’s not a big deal. Once it realizes I don’t have a bond slot available, it’ll give up.”
Then she thought of something and speculated:
“You said the bank assesses familiars based on their race and talent. Does that mean meichouni has a high talent if it could get a loan for a house here?”
Migala glanced at her, “So, are you interested?”
“Not a chance,” Qiao Sang quickly replied. “I already have the Thunder Dragon; there’s no way I’d choose another familiar.”
“Don’t be too hasty,” Migala looked out the floor-to-ceiling window at the Thunder Dragon training and said seriously, “You’re participating in the Interstellar Cup. Every bond slot is crucial. The Thunder Dragon is good, but it’s not pureblood. You might encounter a better familiar, especially in a place like Flame Sky Star.”
“Familiars here have a lot of autonomy. Those with high racial limits have higher status and more choices. If they knew you became a B-Class Beastmaster at 17, I’m sure many wild beast companions would be eager to bond with you.”
Qiao Sang remained firm, “I only want to bond with the Thunder Dragon.”
She watched the Thunder Dragon hatch from its egg and grow. If she had any doubts about bonding with it, she wouldn’t have brought it to Flame Sky Star.
The way wild beast companions seek Beastmasters on Flame Sky Star feels too much like a transaction or a partnership. She didn’t like it. (End of Chapter)
