Chapter 1101: Qingbao's Emotional Regulation
Chapter 1101: Qingbao's Emotional Regulation (Combined)
Almost as soon as Qiao Sang learned that the tenth seat was the highest manager of the Beastmaster League, she gave up on the idea of getting a bloodpurifier fruit from him.
Such a powerful figure was far beyond her reach at the moment.
After all, the seats from one to ten represented the highest authority, holding absolute status. Each State's Beastmaster Center had a shadow presence of the Beastmaster League, and the immensely popular Interstellar Cup was also supported by the Beastmaster League behind the scenes. The development of habitable planets was carried out by the Beastmaster League, so it wasn't an exaggeration to say that the Beastmaster League held the fate of the entire Beastmaster world in its hands.
Suddenly, she thought of something and looked at the Dragon King, curious.
"How did you know that the tenth seat's territory has a bloodpurifier fruit tree?"
Migala also looked over, as she didn't know about this either.
"Momo."
The Dragon King wore a nostalgic expression and called out.
Decades ago, when it first became the leader of the young dragons, it had the honor of visiting once.
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker finished and helped translate.
Qiao Sang was deeply impressed.
She hadn't expected the Dragon King to have such a high standing.
"Momo."
The Dragon King called out again, indicating that the tenth seat was from their Flame Sky Star, so it would gather the leaders of various races periodically to help improve issues between the races.
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker translated.
Qiao Sang processed this information and asked, "If it's periodic, why did it take you decades to visit once?"
The Dragon King's body stiffened, and then it called out in a deep voice:
"Momo."
To the tenth seat, decades weren't a long time.
Migala glanced at the Dragon King, thinking that it was probably only invited once in those decades.
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker helped translate.
Qiao Sang, after hearing this, didn't fully believe it.
After a few days of interaction, she knew that the Dragon King had a prideful personality. It was likely that the tenth seat did gather the leaders of various races periodically, but with so many familiar races, it wouldn't invite all the leaders every time. The Dragon King was probably only invited once decades ago.
Despite her thoughts, she maintained a look of understanding.
After explaining everything, the Dragon King looked at Migala with a faint expression, as if waiting for her to speak.
Migala was silent for a moment and then said, "I didn't expect you to have contact with the tenth seat."
"Momo."
The Dragon King's mood improved upon hearing this, and it called out calmly, indicating that when she returned to Blue Star, she naturally wouldn't know about these things.
Migala: "…"
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker translated.
Qiao Sang, after hearing this, looked at the Dragon King and Teacher Mikara with a somewhat gossipy expression, imagining a scene where the Dragon King and Teacher Mikara parted ways on Flame Sky Star, but the Dragon King didn't want Teacher Mikara to leave, while Teacher Mikara left resolutely.
"Xunxun~"
As these thoughts flashed through her mind, Treasure Seeker looked at the Dragon King with hopeful eyes and called out, indicating that since you know the tenth seat, can you ask it to give up a bloodpurifier fruit? My Beastmaster is willing to exchange anything for it.
"Hey, I didn't say that…" Qiao Sang quickly interjected.
"Don’t make things difficult for the Dragon King. Just forget about the Bloodpurifier Fruit for now."
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker’s face showed disappointment.
"Momo."
But at that moment, Dragon King called out in a deep voice, indicating that if you were willing to leave one of our young dragons or power dragons in your next Bond Slot, he would try to get you a Bloodpurifier Fruit.
Migala: "..."
Suddenly, she lost her appetite...
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker, upon hearing this, instinctively translated with excitement before realizing what was happening and stiffened, looking at Thunder Dragon.
"Tingting!"
Thunder Dragon glared at Dragon King in anger, finally losing her patience. Yellow lightning arcs crackled around her body, instantly converging to strike at him.
Treasure Seeker’s face turned serious, and it clenched its claws by its mouth.
Liu is so brave!
If its memory served correctly, Dragon King was even more powerful than Big Brother Yabao!
"Momo!"
"Momo!"
"Momo!"
The young dragons immediately put down their fruits, their faces showing anger as they prepared to battle Thunder Dragon.
"Tingting!"
Thunder Dragon remained fearless, with more yellow lightning arcs appearing around her, her expression daring them to attack.
"Momo."
The lightning power around Dragon King dissipated, revealing his unharmed body. He raised his claws, signaling for silence.
The young dragons immediately quieted down.
Qiao Sang quickly stood up, blocking Thunder Dragon, and said, "Sorry, she must have gotten too excited when she heard your words."
Dragon King looked at Qiao Sang, then at Thunder Dragon, but he wasn’t angry.
To him, Thunder Dragon was just too small, no different from the newly hatched young dragons in the flock. The lightning striking him was like a gentle tickle.
In other words, he didn’t take Thunder Dragon seriously.
"Momo?"
Dragon King looked at Qiao Sang and called out, asking for his decision.
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker quickly translated.
If this had been a few months ago, Qiao Sang would have been ecstatic and readily agreed.
After all, bonding with Dragon Companions and getting a Bloodpurifier Fruit would have been like getting both the meal and the dessert.
But now...
Qiao Sang glanced at Thunder Dragon and firmly refused, "Sorry, I’ve already said many times. I only want to bond with Thunder Dragon next."
"Tingting..."
Thunder Dragon’s heart swelled with emotion, and she looked at the human with gratitude.
From their conversation, she knew that the Bloodpurifier Fruit must be very precious, yet her Beastmaster didn’t hesitate and still chose her.
At that moment, Thunder Dragon felt both moved and incredibly safe.
The power dragons looked disappointed.
Indeed, it wasn’t going to be that easy... Dragon King sighed inwardly but also felt a strange sense of relief.
To be honest, he wasn’t sure if he could get the Bloodpurifier Fruit.
"Let’s stop standing around and start eating." Migala cleared her throat and said.
"Momo."
Dragon King took the hint and acted as if nothing had happened, picking up a fruit and starting to eat.
Qiao Sang sat back down.
"Tingting..."
Thunder Dragon nudged the dish of Energy Pills with her head, bringing it to her Beastmaster’s side before she started eating.
After finishing their meal, the young dragons, at the Dragon King's gesture, started clearing the table.
Treasure Seeker sat on the sofa, patting his round, bulging belly while using his mobile phone to contact the Interstellar Courier to send off the Libatuan's fur.
Fangy and the others headed to the Open Training Ground for training.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
Qingbao, who had not yet gone to the Open Training Ground, stiffened.
Qiao Sang opened the door.
"Meimei."
Sweetflower stood at the door, greeting them.
"Come in, Qingbao is waiting for you", Qiao Sang smiled and stepped aside to let her in.
"Meimei."
Sweetflower entered the living room and smiled at Qingbao.
"Qingqing..."
Qingbao's body tensed, the wind swirling around him suddenly intensified, and he turned to float toward the Open Training Ground.
Sweetflower followed him.
Seeing this, Qiao Sang went to her room, sat on the bed, and crossed her legs to meditate.
She could clearly feel the difficulty of developing her brain domain past 59%, no matter how many times she meditated, she sensed no progress at all.
I wonder when I can bond with the Thunder Dragon... Qiao Sang gathered her thoughts and focused on her meditation.
Time slowly passed.
After an unknown duration, she opened her eyes, picked up her mobile phone, and checked the time.
It was 8:32 PM.
Time flies... Qiao Sang put down her mobile phone, got up, and headed to the Open Training Ground.
Fangy and the others were still training.
Qiao Sang's gaze fell on the area almost entirely covered by green gas and called out,
"Qingbao, Sweetflower! That's enough practice for today!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the green gas slowly dispersed, revealing Sweetflower and Qingbao's shadows.
"Qingqing..."
Qingbao's claws were still dug into the ground, his face showing utter despair, the gale around him continuously surging, causing nearby trees to sway wildly.
"Meimei?"
Sweetflower walked over, looking puzzled, wondering if it was that early.
Qiao Sang understood from her expression and smiled, saying,
"It's not early, and Qingbao is still new to this training, so I think a balance between work and rest is best."
"Meimei."
Sweetflower nodded, waved her claws, and called out, indicating she would come back tomorrow.
She then walked toward the door.
After seeing Sweetflower off, Qiao Sang went to the Open Training Ground and found Qingbao still in the same position, clearly not having recovered his strength. She called out,
"Qingbao."
"Qingqing..."
Qingbao turned his head, and the Wind Transformation disappeared, appearing beside his Beastmaster, calling out listlessly, asking if it was time to rest.
"I think Treasure Seeker should take you somewhere", Qiao Sang said.
"Qingqing..." Qingbao called out, looking exhausted.
Where are we going?
Qiao Sang felt the turbulent wind around her but did not answer. Instead, she called out,
"Treasure Seeker."
"Xunxun~"
In the next moment, a black hole appeared out of nowhere, and Treasure Seeker emerged from it.
"Take Qingbao for a walk tonight. It will be a good rest", Qiao Sang said, taking out her mobile phone, setting the location, and showing it to Treasure Seeker.
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker nodded, indicating he had memorized it.
Just as it was about to cast Shadow Penetration.
Qiao Sang reminded them:
"Don’t use Shadow Penetration when you come back. Just use Spatial Shift. Also, remember to use Invisibility so no one sees you."
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker called out, indicating that it was simple, then its eyes glowed with a Blue Light as it performed the positioning, and it disappeared from the spot, pulling Qingbao's claws along with it.
Qingbao's personality was different from Fangy and the others, probably due to the influence of its memory inheritance. It had very little patience. When Fangy first encountered its nemesis skill, Wave of Peace, it didn’t show much improvement no matter how many times the Fairy Butterfly used it. However, Fangy persisted with the training. Qingbao's situation was somewhat similar to Fangy's, but Qingbao's patience was clearly not as strong as Fangy's. It was even affected the next day, making it impossible to train it the same way as Fangy. Qiao Sang hoped that what Qingbao would see would help ease its psychological distress. With that thought, she moved to a nearby recliner and began to Meditate.
...
Meanwhile.
In a mediation room eight kilometers away.
Under the white lights, a person and a familiar sat on either side of a long table, with a man in a uniform at the head of the table.
Suddenly, an unusual breeze swept through the room.
The people inside paid no attention, still red-faced and heatedly arguing:
"Your Yarn Beast molested my Little Electric Bean. Don’t you think you should take responsibility for that!"
"What responsibility! My Yarn Beast was just greeting your Little Electric Bean! Your Little Electric Bean electrocuted my Yarn Beast! You should be the one taking responsibility!"
"Is that how you greet someone! Wrapping Little Electric Bean up with all its yarn! Do you know the damage this has done to Little Electric Bean’s reputation and mental state! People are even posting photos of it online!"
"Bean... Bean..."
Little Electric Bean sobbed, wiping its tears with a tissue.
At this moment, the man in uniform coughed and said:
"The Yarn Beast species greets others by wrapping them with its yarn."
"Yarn." The Yarn Beast nodded, looking aggrieved.
"Did you hear that! It’s a natural behavior of the Yarn Beast species. You illiterate, read a book for once!"
"You’re the illiterate! Little Electric Bean’s tail is very sensitive. If it’s touched, it can trigger its heat cycle. Your Yarn Beast touched its tail with its yarn, causing it to enter heat early, do you know that!"
The two continued to argue heatedly.
No one noticed that the unusual breeze that had appeared earlier was slowly dissipating as they argued.
In the corner, Invisible Qingbao's expression changed from "What's the point of this?" to "This is so interesting."
It perked up its Ears, eyes shining, and listened intently to the gossip.
Treasure Seeker felt the same way.
It enjoyed the mission its Beastmaster had given it.
...
That night.
11:10 PM.
Villa.
Treasure Seeker and Qingbao reappeared in the living room.
"You’re back." Qiao Sang said, sitting on the sofa.
"Xunxun~" Treasure Seeker called out.
"Qingqing."
Qingbao finally showed a sweet smile.
Gossip really does a good job of distracting Qingbao... Qiao Sang noticed that the Gale around Qingbao had subsided and silently breathed a sigh of relief.
Earlier, when the match ended, she had seen that Qingbao’s surrounding wind had decreased when it watched the lively interaction between the Dragon King and Teacher Mikara. She thought that letting it see more gossip might help regulate its emotions.
It turned out to be quite effective.
"Go to bed early. You have a match tomorrow." Qiao Sang said.
Not to Qingbao, of course... Treasure Seeker was very aware.
"Qingqing."
Qingbao floated over to its Beastmaster, first rubbing its head against her cheek, then floated toward the room.
Inside the room.
Qingbao lay on the bed, closed its eyes, and soon felt drowsy.
Moonlight filtered through the window, casting a gentle glow on Qingbao.
Its lips curved slightly, and its breathing was steady, clearly indicating that it was fast asleep. (End of Chapter)
