Chapter 1120: The Familiars' Requests
Chapter 1120: The Familiars' Requests (Combined)
Time slowly passed.
"Qianwei."
After an indeterminate amount of time, Transvides opened his deep eyes, stood up, and called out calmly.
No aura was released, yet Qiao Sang inexplicably felt a dominant presence, stirring a sense of awe within her.
The familiars either stopped conversing or woke up, all adopting a serious demeanor as they looked toward the tenth seat.
Qiao Sang suddenly remembered something and shook the still-sleeping Qingbao and Xielala.
"Qingqing, wake up. The gathering seems to be starting."
"Xiaxia."
Qingbao and Xielala opened their sleepy eyes.
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker floated back, took off the Ring, and skillfully pulled out some Energy Pills and fruit for Fangy and the others, placing them on the ground.
Steel Treasure and Lulu, who had already awakened, began eating their share.
The scent of Energy Pills and fruit wafted through the air.
Fangy and Thunder Dragon sniffed the air, opened their eyes, and, upon seeing the food, their eyes lit up, all drowsiness vanishing. One ran over, the other slowly moved over, and they happily began to eat.
In the more solemn atmosphere, their actions of eating stood out.
Many familiars looked over.
"Xunxun?"
Treasure Seeker noticed the gazes, blinked, and while eating, picked up a piece of fruit and offered it to the familiars who were looking, asking if they wanted some.
The familiars fell silent.
Some were tempted but, constrained by the atmosphere, remained quiet.
Transvides, seeing this, smiled and suddenly waved a claw.
A ten-meter-long tear appeared in the sky, a black hole gradually opening to form a giant circular portal.
The next moment, countless pieces of fruit and various foods for the familiars fell from the black hole, as if raining down from the heavens.
Qiao Sang looked up at the scene, wide-eyed, her mind filled with "Damn."
Fangy, Treasure Seeker, Lulu, Steel Treasure, Qingbao, Thunder Dragon, and the Power Dragons looked up, their mouths gradually opening wider, eyes filled with amazement.
After the initial shock, the Power Dragons looked at Transvides with worshipful eyes.
"Qianwei."
Transvides called out.
"Nengneng."
"Gaogao."
"Kuiku."
"Wuwu."
"Juju."
The familiars' eyes lit up at the sight of the falling fruit, but most remained composed, staying in place and using their skills to catch the fruit that fell in front of them, placing it on the ground.
Only a few familiars were particularly excited, rushing into the falling fruit to catch as much as they could, fearing they might miss out on their favorites.
Fangy, Treasure Seeker, Qingbao, and Thunder Dragon were among the latter.
They rushed into the falling fruit, gathering a pile and bringing it back, quickly forming a small mountain of fruit.
Thunder Dragon, the weakest, moved slowly and failed to catch any fruit, instead being hit and dazed by the falling pieces.
Qiao Sang quickly ran over and carried it out.
"Tingting!"
Thunder Dragon shook its head, regaining its senses, and with a determined look, hopped to the ground and moved back toward the falling fruit.
Qiao Sang: "..."
A hint of helplessness crossed her face. She then turned to the Power Dragons and asked, "Aren't you going?"
"Momo..."
The Power Dragons shook their heads, picked up a piece of fruit that rolled over, and smiled, calling out.
Then, they looked at Transvides, their eyes filled with admiration and longing.
Qiao Sang didn't notice this and turned to Steel Treasure, hoping it would translate.
However, Steel Treasure was happily picking up fruit and ignored her.
Qiao Sang inwardly sighed. Even Steel Treasure couldn't resist the allure of food...
Suddenly, Steel Treasure paused its fruit-gathering.
Qiao Sang quickly refocused her thoughts.
"Ice Emperor."
Lulu's voice sounded beside her.
It said there was plenty of fruit, so they should just pick it up and eat it.
Lulu noticed her, which was touching... Qiao Sang looked at Lulu beside her, feeling a bit moved.
Then, she saw Steel Treasure stop picking fruit and fly back with a blank expression.
Qiao Sang: "..."
Damn, the bond strength...
Qiao Sang's face turned slightly awkward as she avoided Steel Treasure's gaze, picked up a piece of fruit, and handed it to Xielala, pretending to be busy.
Xielala, munching on the fruit, looked over with a puzzled expression.
"Try this. I heard it can boost the energy of Grass-Type Companion Beasts", Qiao Sang said.
"Xiaxia..."
Xielala hesitated, put down the fruit she was eating, took the new one, and started eating it.
"Xiaxia~"
With the first bite, its eyes curved, showing a "delicious" expression.
Qiao Sang smiled. "Looks like you're still young."
"Xiaxia?"
Xielala, still munching, looked curious.
"Steel Chief."
Steel Treasure called out, translating.
It asked how she knew.
Qiao Sang, hearing Steel Treasure's voice, stiffened but then relaxed, saying, "If you were older, you'd know about Qingqing fruit."
"Xiaxia..."
Xielala looked embarrassed.
Qiao Sang then thought of something. "But your memory inheritance is quite unique. You recognized Qingbao but didn't know Qingqing fruit. And Qingbao, due to memory inheritance, has a different personality."
"Xiaxia?"
Xielala looked at Qingbao, calling out.
"Steel Chief."
Steel Treasure translated.
It asked if Qingbao was the name of the Clear Hidden Sprite.
"Right", Qiao Sang nodded.
"Xiaxia..."
Xielala looked worried.
Can memory inheritance change personality? It didn't know...
"Steel Chief."
Steel Treasure translated.
Qiao Sang reassured it, "You don't need to worry too much. It only changes a bit, not completely."
"Xiaxia..."
Xielala sighed in relief.
The familiars continued eating fruit, and Qiao Sang chatted with Xielala. In the joyful atmosphere, Transvides called out:
"Qianwei."
The black hole in the sky disappeared, and the fruit stopped falling. The familiars quieted down and looked at the tenth seat.
Fangy, Treasure Seeker, and Qingbao returned to their Beastmaster with piles of fruit.
Thunder Dragon, with a bump on its head, slowly moved back, carrying a piece of fruit in its mouth.
Qiao Sang looked at Thunder Dragon's head, unable to bear to look further.
Lulu's gem on its forehead glowed cobalt blue, illuminating Thunder Dragon.
After a moment, the light dissipated, and the bumps on Thunder Dragon's head vanished.
"Qianwei."
Transvides scanned the familiars and called out.
"Kuiku."
The Helmet Spirit held a roster and began reporting.
"Qianwei."
Transvides nodded slightly and called out.
Then, the familiars began to speak, sharing their situations.
Qiao Sang listened intently to Steel Treasure's translations in her mind.
Wuxi Ka said it wanted to visit Tianyuan Planet but couldn't get a space visa because the staff said it was too dangerous.
Gaodun Mao said it wanted to join the Beastmaster League but didn't want to compete with a bunch of beginners, hoping for a backdoor entry.
Nengzhi Pegasus felt it was too hot and wanted more Water-Type or Ice-Type familiars to be assigned to it.
Jujiji asked when the tenth seat would explore space again to find habitable planets, hoping to join and contribute.
Kuiku said it was too tired and wanted a ten-year vacation.
Qiao Sang couldn't help but look at Kuiku, inwardly sighing. Asking for a ten-year vacation was a bit much...
Just when she thought the tenth seat wouldn't agree, Transvides nodded.
"Qianwei."
"Kuiku!"
Kuiku called out happily.
Despite its appearance like a black hole, it seemed to have rejuvenated by ten years.
To agree so easily... Such a leader is rare... Qiao Sang found it hard to believe.
Could it be that the tenth seat lived for a long time, so a ten-year vacation didn't seem too long?
As she pondered, the other familiars began sharing their situations.
Qiao Sang refocused her thoughts and listened attentively.
"Xiaxia."
After a Turtle Beast finished speaking, Xielala raised its claw and called out seriously.
All the familiars looked over instantly.
"What did it say?" Qiao Sang asked in her mind.
"Steel Chief."
Steel Treasure responded in her mind.
It said it wanted to go out and explore.
Go out and explore? Does it need approval? Qiao Sang was puzzled but then remembered Xielala's background and understood.
Given Xielala's abilities and status on Flame Sky Star, appearing in public would likely cause a traffic jam.
"Kuiku."
"Nengneng."
"Juju."
The familiars around it tried to dissuade it.
"Xiaxia..."
Xielala's expression grew more and more dejected, even its bud drooping.
Qiao Sang, seeing Xielala's expression, felt a pang of sympathy, coughed, and raised her hand.
"Actually, there are many ways to hide one's presence, like Invisibility Powder or finding a Transformation Familiar."
All the familiars, including Transvides, looked at her.
Xielala, forgetting its dejection, looked up at the human.
The oppressive aura from the rare familiars was too strong, and Qiao Sang silently lowered her hand, giving an awkward smile.
In the silence, Transvides spoke.
"Qianwei."
"Steel Chief."
Steel Treasure translated.
It said to discuss this later and let other familiars speak first.
Poor Xielala... Qiao Sang sympathized for a second and handed it a piece of fruit as a consolation.
"Xiaxia."
Xielala adjusted its mood, called out, and politely took the fruit.
Time passed, and when all the familiars had spoken, Transvides's gaze fell on Qingbao.
Qiao Sang's heart raced, her face excited, and she gave Qingbao a "speak up, speak up" look.
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker looked at Qingbao with an envious expression.
It had to trade valuable items to get bloodpurifier fruit from the tenth seat, but Qingbao didn't need to...
Qingbao was tempted to ask for something to make it stronger than Treasure Seeker but, with its Beastmaster watching, it suppressed the urge and obediently called out:
"Qingqing."
It didn't need anything because its Beastmaster would give it everything.
After speaking, it looked at its Beastmaster with deep affection and dependence.
No!!! You need to! This is a rare opportunity, say what you want! Qiao Sang shouted in her mind, desperately giving Qingbao the eye.
Transvides looked at the human with a smile.
"Qingqing."
Qingbao, sensing its Beastmaster's gaze, changed its tone, calling out, indicating it remembered something it needed.
"Qianwei?"
Transvides called out in response.
What do you want?
"Qingqing."
Qingbao called out, expressing its desire for its Beastmaster's brain domain breakthrough to bond with Thunder Dragon.
Once bonded with Thunder Dragon, it wouldn't be the weakest in the queue... Qingbao didn't say this aloud.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang and Thunder Dragon stared in surprise.
Qingbao thought of me at this crucial moment... Qiao Sang felt a surge of warmth and deep emotion.
Transvides looked at Qingbao with amusement and then at the human, its eyes glowing blue.
After about three seconds, the blue light dissipated, and it looked at Qiao Sang with a surprised expression.
What, what is it... Qiao Sang felt nervous under the gaze.
"Qianwei?"
Transvides called out.
"Steel Chief."
Steel Treasure translated in her mind.
It asked how old she was.
"17, almost 18", Qiao Sang answered honestly.
The familiars, wearing white ID Bracelets, were naturally assumed to be her bonded familiars.
But 17 years old, bonding so many familiars?
Transvides, confirming the age, looked at the human with a complex expression and called out:
"Qianwei."
"Steel Chief."
Steel Treasure translated.
It said her current brain domain couldn't be forcibly broken through but was somewhat flexible. The best way to advance was to rest well, and it would naturally break through.
Rest well... What a waste of Qingbao's opportunity... Qiao Sang inwardly lamented, but she said, "I understand."
Transvides's lips twitched slightly, then it thought of something and looked at Xielala.
"Qianwei."
The familiars looked surprised again.
"Xiaxia?"
Xielala's eyes lit up, showing a "really?" expression.
"Qianwei."
Transvides nodded.
Xielala looked at the human with expectation.
Huh? Why are you looking at me? Qiao Sang was puzzled.
"Steel Chief."
Steel Treasure translated in her mind.
The tenth seat wants Xielala to go out and explore with you.
Qiao Sang: "???"
Ah! Thank you, 20250408105243865, for the generous support! Wishing you good health and prosperity!
