Chapter 1113: Phantom Beast, Flame Steed
Chapter 1113: Phantom Beast, Flame Steed (Combined)
Migala turned and looked at him.
"Are you asking me to go with you?"
Liaoweng's expression was slightly awkward as he said, "We've had our disagreements, but let's not mix business with pleasure. I believe you wouldn't want to miss an opportunity like this."
The later a Beastmaster progressed, the more they needed destiny, whether it was the Beastmaster themselves or their familiars. Liaoweng was certain that Migala wouldn't pass up this chance.
Sure enough, Migala asked, "Apart from the gathering of rare familiars, do you have any other news?"
Liaoweng knew he had him. His spirits lifted, and he lowered his voice, "Among these rare familiars, one is said to be the Flame Steed."
The Flame Steed, Flame Sky Star's Phantom Beast, is rumored to have the ability to extend one's lifespan. There are also tales that it is a legendary familiar, capable of turning barren lands into lush greenery, transforming deserts into oases, and creating ecological miracles.
Flame Sky Star once suffered from scorching sunlight that left the land barren. It was the Flame Steed that brought back all the greenery.
Therefore, among all the Phantom Beasts and legendary familiars of Flame Sky Star, the Flame Steed holds a unique place in everyone's heart.
It might not be the strongest in combat power among all Phantom Beasts and legendary familiars, but it is undoubtedly the most beloved by the people of Flame Sky Star.
Qiao Sang had read books about Flame Sky Star's Phantom Beasts on the spaceship coming here. The first page she opened was about the Flame Steed, showing the editor's high regard for it.
To think there's a Flame Steed... Qiao Sang's mind raced with information about the Flame Steed, but her expression remained calm.
After all, she had seen Phantom Beasts with her own eyes twice and even lived with one for a while.
Migala, on the other hand, showed a range of emotions: shock, surprise, and elation.
A Flame Steed! There's actually a Flame Steed!
"How about it? Do you want to go together?" Liaoweng asked.
This time, he was much calmer.
Migala's expression changed several times before he regained his composure and asked, "How will we split the findings?"
Liaoweng had already prepared his answer, "Seventy to thirty, considering I provided the information."
Migala took a sip of milk and calmly replied, "Fine, you thirty, I seventy."
Liaoweng's face turned red with anger, and he slammed his fist on the table, "Migala, don't push it too far!"
People around the restaurant looked over.
Migala continued to drink his milk calmly.
"Momo!"
Dragon King showed a displeased expression, calling out to remind Liaoweng to be more respectful, considering he was the one seeking Migala's help.
Liaoweng glanced at Dragon King and the silent Migala, then coldly snorted, "It looks like we have nothing more to discuss, Oceane, let's go!"
With that, he turned and left, his entire posture radiating anger.
Oceane stood up and said, "Teacher, Junior, we'll be going then."
She followed Liaoweng's footsteps.
They're leaving already? Qiao Sang was a bit surprised.
Shouldn't negotiations be like a business deal, with several rounds of haggling before reaching a mutually acceptable agreement?
Isn't this just the first round?
Qiao Sang gathered her thoughts and asked, "Teacher, are you really not going?"
Migala smiled, "Don't worry, he'll be back."
As if on cue, Liaoweng returned with Oceane, his face grim as he pulled out a chair and sat down, glaring at Migala with clenched teeth, "Sixty to forty, I get sixty, you get forty."
Migala smiled slightly, "Liaoweng, that's not the attitude of someone asking for help."
Liaoweng's face darkened even more.
It seems Teacher Migara and this Teacher don't get along well... Qiao Sang watched the interaction with interest.
At that moment, Oceane came over and said,
"Junior, let's go out for a bit. Don't disturb the teachers' conversation."
Ah, but I haven't heard enough... Qiao Sang was reluctant inside but obediently replied, "Okay", and picked up Fangy, getting up to follow behind Oceane.
Lulu, Steel Treasure, Thunder Dragon, and the power dragons followed them.
Treasure Seeker and Qingbao exchanged a glance. One used Invisibility, and the other used Wind Transformation, staying put without leaving.
On the terrace outside the restaurant, Qiao Sang pretended to admire the lush scenery while actually straining her ears to listen to the conversation inside.
"If it weren't for me, would you even know this news?"
"You could have chosen not to work with me."
"If it weren't for your Pengamei, do you think I would have approached you?"
"I've already said, you could have chosen not to work with me."
"Migala, don't push it too far!"
"I'm pushing it too far? Do I need to remind you of what happened in the past?"
"Momo! Momo!"
Just as Qiao Sang was about to continue listening, Oceane spoke up,
"Apparently, Teacher Liaoweng and Teacher Mikara both competed for a spot in the Interstellar Cup. Teacher Liaoweng didn't get selected, but Teacher Mikara did, so their relationship has always been strained."
Qiao Sang's mind was reeling with one thought:
What? Teacher Mikara participated in the Interstellar Cup?
Shocked, Qiao Sang couldn't help but voice her thoughts aloud.
Oceane was surprised,
"You didn't know this?"
Qiao Sang admitted, "Teacher Mikara never mentioned it."
Then she thought of something and said, "But isn't participation in the Interstellar Cup based on strength? It should be the strongest who gets the spot, right?"
"The issue is that Teacher Liaoweng believes his strength is on par with Teacher Mikara's, yet he didn't get the spot for the Interstellar Cup", Oceane explained.
Qiao Sang waved her hand and said,
"That's easy to resolve. Just have them battle it out."
"Ya ya."
Fangy nodded, agreeing with its Beastmaster.
Oceane continued,
"Back then, they were competitors. The outcome of their battles was always close. However, during the global Alliance Beastmaster tournament, Teacher Liaoweng was matched against a strong opponent and lost, so he didn't get the spot for the Interstellar Cup."
She paused and added,
"Teacher Mikara also lost to that person, but it was in the later rounds, and Teacher Mikara had already made it to the top six, so he secured the spot."
That's just fate... Qiao Sang reflected inwardly.
Oceane went on,
"Later, Teacher Mikara participated in the Interstellar Cup..."
But then, she felt a strong oppressive aura descending, and her voice trailed off.
She sensed something and looked toward the direction connecting to the restaurant.
Two seconds later, Migala, Pengamei, and Dragon King appeared at the door.
"Let's go. We're done talking", Migala said, looking at Qiao Sang.
At the same time, the oppressive aura around Oceane disappeared.
"Senior, I'll be going now", Qiao Sang said, then followed Teacher Mikara out of the restaurant.
Once their figures vanished, Liaoweng approached Oceane and asked,
"How did your conversation go?"
"Nothing much", Oceane replied, then asked, "How about you? How did your conversation with Teacher Mikara go?"
Liaoweng's expression was not pleasant, "We're done."
...
"We've already discussed it." Migala said, "I'll go out with him over the next couple of days to find the places where these rare familiars might be. If we confirm it's safe, I'll have Pengamei bring you over."
Qiao Sang was taken aback for a moment.
"Do I not need to go along?"
"No need." Migala said while sipping the drink he brought from the restaurant, "You just finished a match, so now it's your rest time. Besides, we don't even know the exact location yet. With Pengamei's mental power, it can cover the entire Azure Light Island. If those rare familiars are really here, we'll find them quickly. If they're not, there's no point in you coming out and wasting your time."
Qiao Sang responded with an "Oh", then seemed to think of something and asked, "Teacher, have you ever participated in the Interstellar Cup?"
Migala's thoughts drifted, as if he was lost in memories. "That was a long time ago..."
After a pause, his expression returned to normal, and he asked, "Was it Oceane who told you?"
Qiao Sang nodded, "She also said that Teacher Liaoweng competed with you for a spot in the Interstellar Cup, but he wasn't selected, while you were."
After finishing, she added a compliment, "You're really amazing, Teacher."
Amazing? It was just a one-round trip... The Dragon King restrained the urge to comment.
Migala smiled and changed the subject, "Didn't you say we were going to the beach? Let's go."
...
At the beach.
The sunlight was scorching.
Most of the creatures there were heat-resistant Fire Pet Beasts and Earth-type Beast Companions.
Qiao Sang didn't feel particularly hot walking on the sand, but her shoes felt a bit warm.
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy, seeing the beach and the unfamiliar Fire Pet Beasts, showed signs of excitement, wagging its tail.
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker stuck out its tongue and quietly moved closer to Lulu.
"Qingqing..."
Qingbao pressed its entire body against Lulu.
"Tingting..."
Thunder Dragon tried to wrap around Lulu, making sure not to be pushed out.
Lulu stood there expressionless, as if it had three attachments hanging from its body.
Steel Treasure glanced at Lulu and couldn't help but laugh, but quickly composed itself.
"Momo..."
Power Dragons wiped the sweat from its brow and couldn't resist looking at the Dragon King.
The Dragon King responded with a glare: Don't look at me. If you're so capable, go and attach yourself to that Lulu.
Power Dragons glanced at Lulu, feeling it wasn't familiar enough to do so, and resisted the urge to join.
At that moment, Lulu noticed the commotion and emitted a visible chill aura that spread around, covering the area where Power Dragons was.
The chill was just right, not bone-chilling, but it significantly lowered the temperature, making it feel like a cool autumn day instead of a scorching summer.
"Momo..."
Power Dragons looked comfortable.
Migala, seeing this, laughed, "It looks like the Ice Emperor Ram won't be going into the sea."
Qiao Sang's eyes sparkled with amusement, "I think Lulu probably prefers staying with everyone rather than going into the sea."
Even though Lulu didn't speak much, Qiao Sang knew it was always paying attention to everyone and listening quietly. It would always notice if Fangy and the others were injured during training and immediately release healing light.
Qiao Sang lay down on the sand.
Fangy mimicked its Beastmaster and lay down beside her.
Seeing this, Qiao Sang smiled and then had an idea. She looked at Steel Treasure.
Steel Treasure hesitated for a couple of seconds before lying down.
That's more like it... Qiao Sang raised her hand and called a few Sticky Crabs over to massage her, Teacher Migala, and Fangy.
"Moisture!"
"Moisture!"
The Moisture Crabs were quite skilled, and their enthusiasm was evident. Each time their claws pressed onto the back, they hit the right acupoints precisely.
"Fangy"
"Steel Chief..."
"Momo..."
Fangy, Steel Treasure, and Dragon King were enjoying the massage, their expressions relaxed and content.
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker, seeing this scene, brightened up and floated over. Mimicking the Beastmaster, Fangy, and Steel Treasure, it lay down and beckoned a Moisture Crab over.
"Xunxun!"
In the next second, Treasure Seeker seemed to catch fire, floating up into the air with a scream.
"Qingqing!"
"Qingqing!"
Qingbao, seeing Treasure Seeker's state, held Lulu and burst into laughter.
Lulu turned, her eyes twinkling with amusement.
"Tingting!"
Thunder Dragon, influenced by Qingbao's laughter, also let out a hearty laugh.
Under the azure sky, the golden sun, and the gentle breeze, Qiao Sang felt the professional massage on her back and closed her eyes, feeling her heart calm down.
At the same time, an unseen area in the brain domain subtly stirred.
...
Time passed quietly and steadily.
Under the midday sunlight, Treasure Seeker took two eggs and cracked them on a freshly cleaned outdoor surface. The whites and yolks flowed out and sizzled, quickly turning into fried eggs.
"Qingqing." Qingbao called, holding an empty plate and chopsticks.
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker called out, its eyes glowing with blue light. One of the fried eggs was then controlled and placed on Qingbao's plate.
"Qingqing."
Qingbao took a bite and showed a satisfied expression.
Inside the house, Qiao Sang was on the phone:
"Did you find it?"
Migala's voice came through the speaker:
"No, but there's a strange spot where Pengamei's Mental Power can't penetrate. I'm preparing to go and check it out with Liaoweng."
"Where is it?" Qiao Sang asked.
"It's in the southern part of Azure Light Island, surrounded by White Mist." Migala said.
Qiao Sang, remembering the mysterious old man's story, asked:
"What about the northern part of Azure Light Island? I heard there's a place called Worin that is also surrounded by White Mist year-round."
"That area has already been investigated." Migala said: "There's nothing special there."
Nothing at all... Qiao Sang didn't doubt it.
After all, Teacher Mikara and Teacher Liaoweng were both S-Rank Beastmasters; it was impossible for them to make a mistake in such a simple investigation.
She then remembered that the time the mysterious old man mentioned was only a day away and said:
"Teacher, I'm preparing to go to Worin."
Migala cautioned:
"That place is easy to get lost in. If you can't find your way, just fly to a high altitude or have Night Ring King use Spatial Shift to bring you out."
"I understand." Qiao Sang said.
After chatting a bit more with Teacher Mikara, she hung up the phone.
Azure Light Island wasn't particularly large or small. In the past few days, she had almost explored every corner. With Pengamei's Mental Power, covering the entire island and finding places where rare familiars gathered should have been a matter of minutes. The fact that it took so long and Teacher was still searching showed how much she trusted Teacher Liaoweng. If it were her, she would definitely doubt the accuracy of the information... Qiao Sang reflected, put away her phone, and stood up:
"Prepare yourself, we're going out." (End of Chapter)
