Chapter 1125: Familiar Spa
Chapter 1125: Familiar Spa
At 11:30 AM, the dining table.
Xialala chewed slowly, eating the grand meal in front of her with a graceful demeanor.
"Do you like it?" Migala asked, her gaze gentle as she watched her.
"Xia Xia."
Xialala’s eyes curved into a smile as she nodded while eating.
"Momo?"
Dragon King called out to Qiao Sang with a concerned tone.
"Steel Chief."
Steel Treasure spoke in her mind.
It's asking if you like the food.
Qiao Sang paused for a moment before replying, "It's delicious."
"Momo."
Dragon King’s expression relaxed, and he began to eat his own meal.
"Have you noticed that Dragon King seems a bit strange lately?" Qiao Sang asked in her mind.
"Steel Chief." Steel Treasure responded, indicating that it had noticed. The timing seemed to coincide with when you announced that Xia Xia was Xia Xia and when you received the promise for the tenth seat. It might be because of Xia Xia, making him respect you more, or because of the promise for the tenth seat, which he wants to secure.
Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and said in her mind:
"It's probably the former."
She then reflected, "I thought Dragon King already looked up to me when he wanted his descendants to bond with me, but it seems this is the real deal."
"Steel Chief."
Steel Treasure paused in eating its energy pills and recounted Dragon King’s words from Wulin in her mind.
Qiao Sang: "???"
What? I thought he was just reluctant to part with the power dragons, but now you're telling me he was asking the power dragons to take him with them?
Qiao Sang couldn’t help but glance at Dragon King.
Dragon King noticed her gaze and looked back with a deep, affectionate expression.
Qiao Sang quietly averted her eyes.
Thunder Dragon saw this and, recalling how Dragon King used to bring a group of young dragons to try to bond with Qiao Sang, assumed he hadn’t given up and glared at him.
Dragon King smiled warmly at Thunder Dragon.
Thunder Dragon: "???"
Migala couldn’t stand it anymore, took a sip of soup, and said:
"Later, we’re going to a place."
"Where?" Qiao Sang asked.
"The Familiar Spa", Migala replied.
Qiao Sang was taken aback. "Why are we going there?"
Migala continued eating while explaining, "The informant is there."
I see... Qiao Sang recalled her promise to Treasure Seeker and said, "I want to finish eating and go shopping with Treasure Seeker before we head there."
Treasure Seeker immediately looked over.
"Of course, it doesn’t matter if we go a bit later", Migala smiled.
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker’s face lit up, and she started eating her energy pills faster.
Migala added:
"Speaking of which, the Familiar Spa is a great place for familiars. It’s cooler and more humid in Flame Sky Star, so both people and familiars enjoy going there."
She glanced at Xialala and softened her tone, "Especially Grass-type Companion Beasts."
Xialala was focused on her energy meal and didn’t realize the comment was directed at her.
Qiao Sang: "..."
If it weren’t for the informant being at the Familiar Spa, she would have suspected that Teacher Migala was going there just for Xialala.
After finishing their meal and helping Treasure Seeker buy back the lost treasures, Qiao Sang followed Teacher Migala to the Familiar Spa.
With Pengamei’s teleportation, the two of them and their familiars appeared at the entrance of the Familiar Spa.
Upon entering, the temperature dropped, and the surroundings were almost entirely blue. Various Water-type Companion Beasts and Ice-type familiars, dressed in work uniforms, were moving about the spa.
"Xia Xia..."
Xialala looked around with curiosity.
"Tingting!"
Thunder Dragon’s expression brightened, and he jumped off Qiao Sang’s neck in excitement.
Lulu poked her head out of the backpack, rarely showing interest as she observed the surroundings.
"Xunxun~"
"Qingqing..."
Treasure Seeker and Qingbao had already floated over to the service project board, discussing what they wanted to do.
Fangy stayed by Qiao Sang, simply looking around without showing particular interest or dislike, appearing quite composed.
Suddenly, a small jet of water shot out.
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy, losing his composure, jumped up to avoid the water and glared at the familiar that had sprayed it.
"Yuyu..."
A small fish familiar nearby froze, then looked hurt and turned away.
It seems Fangy isn’t as averse to water as before, but he still doesn’t like it... Qiao Sang thought.
Migala, seeing this, explained:
"At the Familiar Spa in Flame Sky Star, Water-type Companion Beasts spray water at people or familiars to show friendliness. Because water is scarce in Flame Sky Star, everyone values it. Water-type Companion Beasts only spray water at those they like when they’re not battling or working."
Qiao Sang was surprised. "That Yuyu Fish was showing friendliness to Fangy?"
Migala nodded.
"Fangy..."
Fangy looked confused, finding it hard to connect the water spray with friendliness.
"Senior Migala!"
Suddenly, a voice called out.
Qiao Sang turned to see a young man with yellow hair, wearing a floral shirt and shorts, and sporting silver earrings. He had a somewhat sleazy demeanor.
The young man approached quickly, his tone respectful and excited.
"I said I would come to you, but you came here yourself."
Qiao Sang glanced at Teacher Migala.
Migala, unperturbed, said:
"I heard your Familiar Spa has great reviews, so I brought my familiars to rest."
"You’ve come to the right place", the young man said, then noticed Qiao Sang and changed the subject. "Is this your student?"
Migala nodded.
"He looks so young", the young man reflected, extending his hand and introducing himself. "I’m Kangyang, a former student of the Imperial Beastmaster Academy."
Qiao Sang politely shook his hand. "Senior, I’m Qiao Sang."
Kangyang’s face lit up with a warm smile.
"It’s been 56 years since I graduated, and I haven’t heard the term 'Senior' in a long time."
Qiao Sang, now used to the mismatch between appearance and age, smiled. "That’s probably because you rarely run into fellow alumni after graduation."
Kangyang was taken aback, his smile widening uncontrollably.
What do you mean, rarely run into fellow alumni? The real reason is that he’s too old. This kid, he speaks so well, not at all like someone from the Imperial Class.
Just as he was about to say more, Migala cleared her throat and said:
"Let’s find a place to sit. We have some business to discuss."
