Chapter 1133: A New Bonding Page
Chapter 1133: A New Bonding Page (Combined)
The Oddbranch Flower strolled leisurely, not moving particularly fast, but due to its massive size, it didn't take long to cover the entire Giant Reward Garden.
"Oddbranch."
The Oddbranch Flower called out.
"Xunxun..."
The Treasure Seeker looked wistfully unsatisfied.
Xialala felt the same way.
Migala glanced at Xialala, then at the still-sleeping Qiao Sang, and said, "Let's go around one more time."
"Oddbranch~"
The Oddbranch Flower smiled and called out.
With Pengamei and the Dragon King not around, Migala turned to the Treasure Seeker and said, "Can you translate for me?"
In her mind, the Treasure Seeker was the most perceptive.
"Xunxun~"
The Treasure Seeker didn't disappoint. It pointed to the QR code on the Oddbranch Flower and then held up two of its short toes, rubbing them together.
Migala immediately understood, took out her phone, scanned the QR code, and asked, "How much?"
"Oddbranch." The Oddbranch Flower quoted a price.
The Treasure Seeker floated over, tapped a few numbers, and confirmed the transaction.
Migala glanced at the Treasure Seeker, entered her password, and the payment was successful.
The Oddbranch Flower set off again.
"Xia Xia!"
Xialala perked up again.
Seeing this, Migala couldn't help but smile.
The Oddbranch Flower followed the same route.
The Thunder Dragon gradually grew drowsy and fell asleep beside Qiao Sang.
Fangy and the others' expressions shifted from initial excitement to contentment, and then to wondering why their Beastmaster hadn't woken up yet.
When Xialala finally joined Qiao Sang's side, Migala finally called out, "Wake up, wake up..."
Qiao Sang didn't stir.
"Tingting..."
The Thunder Dragon slowly opened its eyes, glanced at its sleeping Beastmaster, and then closed them again.
Migala frowned, sensing something was off.
Qiao Sang was a B-Class Beastmaster with highly sensitive senses. She should have woken up at the slightest disturbance. Why wasn't she responding?
Thinking about it, it was a bit strange for her to fall asleep at this time and place...
"Xunxun~"
The Treasure Seeker called out, indicating it had an idea. It then extended its tongue and gave its Beastmaster a heavy lick on the face.
"Qingqing..."
Qingbao, nearby, showed a look of disgust.
Qiao Sang still didn't wake up.
The Treasure Seeker reached out its tongue again and gave another heavy lick.
Qiao Sang remained asleep, unmoving.
"Ya Ya."
Fangy called out, suggesting they let their Beastmaster sleep if she wanted to.
Steel Treasure wore a thoughtful expression.
It was unusual for its Beastmaster to still be asleep after two licks from the Treasure Seeker. Yet, it didn't sense any physical discomfort.
After all, the bond between them was strong enough to detect any issues.
If it didn't sense anything wrong, then there was nothing wrong.
With that thought, Steel Treasure's expression calmed, and it resumed admiring the scenery around them.
"Xia Xia?"
Xialala looked worried and called out, asking if she was okay.
"Ya Ya."
Fangy called out, reassuring her that everything was fine. Their Beastmaster was just asleep, and it had been difficult to wake her up before. Qiao Sang had mentioned this several times.
"Xia Xia."
Xialala breathed a sigh of relief, understanding the situation.
"Xunxun~"
The Treasure Seeker was also convinced, reflecting that it was the first time it had seen its Beastmaster sleep so soundly.
At this moment, Migala looked at Lulu and said, "Use Healing Light."
Lulu, realizing the seriousness of the situation, didn't hesitate. A cobalt blue light shone over their Beastmaster.
As the blue light dissipated, Qiao Sang didn’t wake up.
Migala heaved a sigh of relief. The fact that the Healing Light had no effect meant that there was no physical issue.
“Do you want to keep playing?” she asked.
“Xunxun~”
Treasure Seeker nodded.
“Ya Ya?”
Fangy called out, wondering what to do if the Beastmaster couldn’t be woken up.
“Xunxun~”
Treasure Seeker called out, indicating that it would send the Beastmaster and Liu back to sleep and then return.
With that, its eyes glowed with blue light.
“Ya Ya.”
Fangy quickly called out, signaling that it should be sent back as well.
“Xunxun?”
Treasure Seeker paused, confused.
Aren’t you playing anymore?
“Ya Ya.”
Fangy shook its head, determined to stay with its Beastmaster.
“Ice Emperor,” Lulu called out, indicating it also wanted to go back.
“Steel Chief,” Steel Treasure called out next.
“Xunxun…”
Treasure Seeker’s blue light faded, and it hesitated.
You’re all leaving, huh…
“Qingqing.”
Qingbao coughed, indicating it would stay.
“Xunxun?”
Treasure Seeker looked at Xialala and called out.
What about you?
“Xia Xia…”
Xialala thought for a moment and called out.
It wasn’t going to play anymore either. The Tenth Seat had instructed it to follow this human named Qiao Sang, and now that Qiao Sang was going back, it would follow.
“Xunxun…”
Treasure Seeker’s expression showed disappointment.
Migala, observing the expressions on Xialala’s and Treasure Seeker’s faces, guessed:
“Are you going back, Xialala?”
“Xia Xia.”
Xialala, still in the form of Xianxianpu, nodded.
Migala immediately said:
“It’s getting late. Let’s go back.”
Treasure Seeker: “???”
Qingbao: “???”
“Xunxun…” Treasure Seeker tried to resist.
Migala, who didn’t understand, continued to communicate mentally with the Beast Page, which was connected to Pengamei and the Dragon King.
Soon, Pengamei appeared, accompanied by the Dragon King.
“Let’s go,” Migala said.
Pengamei’s eyes glowed with blue light, and the next second, Qiao Sang, Migala, and the others, including Fangy, vanished from the spot.
…
Villa, room.
Qiao Sang lay quietly in bed.
Suddenly, her skin turned bright red, like a boiled shrimp. Her body began to struggle involuntarily.
“Ya Ya!”
Fangy, noticing this, was startled and called out.
Treasure Seeker and the others instantly gathered around.
Just as Lulu was about to use Healing Light, Qiao Sang’s features relaxed, and her body stopped struggling. Her complexion returned to normal, and her skin looked noticeably smoother and whiter, as if she had just undergone a high-end skin treatment.
“Ya Ya, Fangy.”
In a daze, Qiao Sang felt claws nudging her. She opened her eyes, feeling unusually clear-headed and her body brimming with boundless energy and strength. She even had the illusion that she could battle a high-level familiar.
“Ya Ya!”
Fangy called out excitedly.
“Fangy…” Qiao Sang looked at Fangy, puzzled.
Fangy looked different from usual—its fur was more distinct, and even the color distribution in its pupils was clearer.
Qiao Sang glanced out the window. The sky had grown dark.
Normally, she wouldn’t have noticed such details, but now she could clearly see some clouds stationary in the dark sky while others drifted slowly.
How has my vision improved so much…? Qiao Sang realized that her body must have undergone some kind of change. She then remembered something and asked:
"How long have I been sleeping?"
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy called out.
"Xunxun..."
The Treasure Seeker wore a rather aggrieved expression and called out.
I actually slept this long... Qiao Sang keenly sensed something was off. Then she remembered the time she had broken through her Brain Domain while sleeping, which had felt similar.
But the changes hadn't been as significant, nor had she slept as long.
Could I have broken through my Brain Domain?... Qiao Sang's heart rate inevitably sped up at the thought.
Calm down, this is just a guess. A 60% Brain Domain is the standard for an A-Class Beastmaster; it's not that easy to break through... Despite her thoughts, she still focused her consciousness into the Beastmaster Codex.
Almost instantly, Qiao Sang felt the changes in the Beastmaster Codex.
Her heart raced uncontrollably, and she took a deep breath, quickly flipping to the last page of the Codex.
A blank Beast Page greeted her eyes.
Qiao Sang's mind went blank for a moment, then her expression turned excited:
60%! Her Brain Domain had broken through to 60%!
She was both excited and shocked, finding it hard to believe.
She had never imagined that the leap from 59% to 60% would be so easy.
Wasn't it supposed to get harder to break through the Brain Domain the further you progressed?
Why did it feel easier than breaking through to 50%?
The Tenth Seat had said that just resting more could help break through the Brain Domain, and it turned out to be true.
If she had known that going out to play could help her break through, she would have visited every place she wanted to.
A myriad of thoughts flashed through her mind, and then Qiao Sang remembered something. She opened her eyes, looked around, and her gaze fell on the Thunder Dragon beside Lulu. She smiled and said:
"Come over, let's bond."
"Tingting?"
The Thunder Dragon was initially taken aback, then showed a delighted expression and quickly moved over, calling out.
"Xunxun?"
The Treasure Seeker's aggrieved expression vanished, and it called out, translating to ask if her Brain Domain had broken through.
"That's right", Qiao Sang smiled.
"Xunxun~"
The Treasure Seeker covered its mouth, showing an expression of admiration.
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy called out proudly, indicating that its Beastmaster was always this capable.
"Xia Xia."
Xialala smiled and called out, indicating that the Tenth Seat had said she would break through quickly, and it turned out to be true.
"Ice Emperor."
Lulu rarely showed a happy expression.
She was genuinely pleased for her Beastmaster.
No wonder I slept so long and couldn't be woken up; it was because I broke through my Brain Domain... Humans can actually break through their Brain Domain by sleeping... Speaking of which, isn't my Beastmaster as a human a bit too talented... Steel Treasure's mind raced with various thoughts, but on the surface, it remained calm as it looked at its Beastmaster.
"I'm obviously more talented than most humans; you just figured that out now?" Qiao Sang laughed in her mind.
Steel Treasure's expression didn't change, and its mind instantly cleared, trying not to think about anything.
"Qingqing!"
Apart from the Thunder Dragon, Qingbao was the happiest. It created a joyful breeze around itself, its eyes sparkling as it called out, indicating that breaking through was great and they could bond now. Hurry up and bond with the Thunder Dragon!
That way, it wouldn't be the weakest in the queue anymore!
Qingbao didn't say the last part out loud.
"Tingting!"
The Thunder Dragon wore a solemn expression, called out, and indicated that it was ready.
Qiao Sang got out of bed, her expression serious as she made a hand seal.
Suddenly, a magnificent and mysterious Purple Star Array lit up beneath the Thunder Dragon.
At the same time, the last blank page of the Beastmaster Codex filled with information about the Thunder Dragon.
Qiao Sang quickly felt the connection with the Thunder Dragon.
After about ten seconds, the purple star array disappeared.
"Tingting!"
The Thunder Dragon called out happily.
We finally bonded! I've been waiting for you for so long!
This time, Qiao Sang understood what it was saying without any translation and couldn't help but smile.
"Yeah, we finally bonded."
From now on, the Thunder Dragon wouldn't silently urge her to meditate anymore. Just thinking about it made her feel much better.
"Qingqing!"
Qingbao called out to the Thunder Dragon happily.
Liu!
"Tingting!"
The Thunder Dragon also called out to Qingbao happily.
Fifth One!
Qingbao instantly fell silent.
"Xunxun~"
"Xunxun~"
The Treasure Seeker eagerly floated beside the Thunder Dragon and called out.
Call me, call me.
"Tingting!"
The Thunder Dragon obediently called out.
Leader!
"Xunxun~"
The Treasure Seeker was pleased and patted the Thunder Dragon's head, calling out to show that the Leader would protect it.
"Tingting!"
The Thunder Dragon nodded.
"Qingqing..."
Qingbao watched the scene before her, and the wind around her shifted from playful to violent.
Why is the Treasure Seeker the Leader, and I'm just the Fifth One...
"Xiaxia!"
The little plant-like Xialala was immediately blown up by the wind.
Seeing that it was about to be blown out the window, Qiao Sang quickly grabbed it and held it in her arms.
"Xiaxia..."
Xialala was taken aback, then looked up at the human holding her, feeling a sense of security.
"Qingbao, what's wrong?" Qiao Sang asked.
"Qingqing..."
Qingbao calmed herself down, shook her head, and indicated that nothing was wrong.
The wind around her also subsided.
The wind was so strong just now; it couldn't be nothing... But seeing that Qingbao didn't want to talk about it, Qiao Sang didn't press further. Instead, she remembered something and carried Xialala to the living room.
The Thunder Dragon, having just bonded, was eager to be close and wriggled its body to follow quickly.
The Dragon King was lying on the sofa, picking its nose while watching TV. Hearing the commotion, it looked up and, upon seeing Qiao Sang, quickly put down its claws and sat up straight.
"Momo."
You're finally awake.
Qiao Sang looked around and asked,
"Where's Teacher Mikara?"
"Momo."
The Dragon King called out.
She went out to find someone to check on you.
As it spoke, it picked up a nearby phone and called out,
"Momo."
Since you're awake, I'll call her back.
With that, the Dragon King dialed the number.
A few seconds later, it called out "Momo, Momo" twice and hung up.
Shortly after, Migala and Pengamei appeared in the living room.
"You're finally awake", Migala said as she quickly approached Qiao Sang, examining her. Seeing that everything was normal, she sighed in relief. Then, she noticed something and hesitated,
"Why do I feel like something about you is different?"
Qiao Sang stood up straight and said,
"I broke through."
"What?" Migala didn't understand at first.
Qiao Sang added,
"My Brain Domain has broken through to 60%."
Migala: "???"
Dragon King: "???"
