Chapter 1167
“…The Fire Pet Beast of Flame Sky Star Legend is said to summon meteor showers every time it roars. Its flames are rumored to cause the fiery meteors of Flame Sky Star, and this Flame possesses healing properties capable of eradicating all plagues. That’s why people feel both love and fear toward it… Oh my gosh, Master, what did you make me scan?! That’s terrifying…”
“Xunxun…”
Treasure Seeker jumped in shock, eyes widening comically as it covered its mouth with its claws. Glancing at the still-sleeping Li Ou Yasi, it wore an expression mixing fear and sudden realization.
No wonder that face looked so familiar!
It had glimpsed this creature’s records while its Beastmaster researched long ago!
Fangy first froze, then his eyes lit with excitement.
Li Huo Jing! It remembered its Beastmaster mentioning that the Li Huo Jing required for its evolution crystallized from a Li Ou Yasi’s familiar!
“Fangy!”
Before Fangy could shout again, Treasure Seeker’s eyes glowed blue, and both vanished instantly.
The cave returned to silence.
Li Ou Yasi slowly opened its eyes, gazing at the spot where the two noisy creatures vanished. Sighing, it lifted its left forepaw, brushing it lightly across the ground.
Instantly, a crimson barrier spread across the entire cave, sealing even its entrance.
After completing this, Li Ou Yasi closed its eyes once more.
…
Above ground.
Beside the flaming crater.
Fangy and Treasure Seeker materialized.
“Ya Ya!”
Fangy glanced around anxiously, “Why did we come out?!”
“Xunxun…”
Treasure Seeker raised a claw to wipe nonexistent sweat from its brow, sighing dramatically. That creature’s too strong! Strategic retreat time! Let’s have our Beastmaster and her Teacher handle it.
That’s a legendary familiar! Big Brother Yabao couldn’t even defeat an Imperial-Rank True Generation Bird. How could he possibly fight a Divine-Rank Li Ou Yasi, let alone me!
“Fight who?” Qiao Sang asked casually, licking her ice cream.
“Ya Ya!”
Fangy turned to its Beastmaster, chirping urgently. Our Evolution material Li Huo Jing is right below!
“Xunxun~”
Before Qiao Sang could react, Treasure Seeker added, correcting: Not Li Huo Jing—Li Ou Yasi itself!
“You mean Li Ou Yasi is down there?!” Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up, though she lowered her voice hastily upon remembering the nearby tourists. “Confirming this!”
“Ya Ya!”
“Xunxun…”
Both nodded vigorously.
Migala blinked, stunned. “Li Ou Yasi’s beneath the crater? Are we certain?”
She pulled out her mobile phone, searching for Li Ou Yasi’s photo and showing it to the pair. “Like this?”
“Ya Ya!”
Fangy leaned close, nodding vigorously.
“Xunxun~”
Treasure Seeker chirped, stating it had already used the Beast Identifier. No mistakes!
Migala’s eyes flickered with dazed disbelief.
Honestly, she never expected the familiar below the flaming crater to be Li Ou Yasi.
A legendary familiar… just found like this?
She had already planned to ask the Tenth Seat for Li Huo Jing directly.
Now they’re saying the Li Ou Yasi that produces it was encountered so easily?
Compared to Migala’s shock, Qiao Sang accepted it faster.
After attending the Tenth Seat’s gathering recently and meeting many rare familiars, encountering a Divine-Rank familiar was shocking, yes—but mostly thrilling.
Only Treasure Seeker would dare scan a legendary familiar face-to-face… Qiao Sang suddenly realized something, asking:
“You scanned it while it was sleeping? Did it react at all to your presence?”
“Xunxun~”
Treasure Seeker recalled, chirping: It was napping. Didn’t bother with us.
Li Ou Yasi had already achieved its ultimate Divine-Rank form. Whether sleeping or awake, it could easily hear sounds even from the surface… Qiao Sang pressed:
“Did it know you were there?”
“Ya Ya.”
Fangy nodded, explaining: It challenged Li Ou Yasi to a fight initially (before recognizing it), but the creature refused. Said we could stay as long as we didn’t disturb it.
So this Li Ou Yasi seems surprisingly reasonable… Qiao Sang’s heart leapt. The chances of obtaining Li Huo Jing just rose sharply.
A legendary familiar—in its ultimate Divine Form. Even Master Mikara wouldn’t stand a chance. That eye secretion clinging to its face could only be obtained if Li Ou Yasi willingly gave it.
Deciding, Qiao Sang turned to Treasure Seeker: “Go back down with Fangy. Ask it directly for its eye secretion. Wait—call it ‘ocular secretions.’”
“Ya Ya.”
Fangy chirped, looking at Treasure Seeker. It had wanted to ask earlier! See? Back we go!
“Xunxun?!”
Treasure Seeker gawked at its Beastmaster and Big Brother Yabao, retreating a step and pointing at itself in disbelief.
Me and Big Brother Yabao alone?! That’s a legendary familiar!
I’m also legendary, yet you don’t fear me that much… Qingbao glanced sideways at Treasure Seeker.
“It said not to disturb it,” Qiao Sang explained. “Going together would definitely bother it. You two already interacted. Asking directly might make it agree.”
Treasure Seeker started protesting, but Migala’s firm voice cut through:
“Against a Divine-Rank familiar, more people or familiars won’t matter.”
Meaning she agreed with Qiao Sang.
Treasure Seeker: “….”
“Ya Ya.”
Fangy chirped. See? We shouldn’t have come up!
“Xunxun…”
Treasure Seeker looked between its Beastmaster, Big Brother Yabao, and her Teacher, then silently stepped back when all three stared at it.
“Qingqing?”
Qingbao feigned uncertainty. Leader, you’re not afraid, are you?
“Steel Chief.”
Steel Treasure chimed in, declaring Leader could never be afraid.
“Tingting?”
Tingbao tilted its head. Leader being scared seems normal?
“Xunxun!”
Treasure Seeker floated forward indignantly, chest puffed. Fourth One’s right! I’m never afraid! Big Brother Yabao—let’s go!
“Ya Ya!”
Fangy chirped excitedly, ready.
“Come on!” Qiao Sang encouraged.
“Xunxun~”
Under the expectant gaze of their Beastmaster and the watchful eyes of their Little Brothers, Treasure Seeker took a deep breath, panicking internally while forcing a determined expression. Their eyes glowed with Blue Light.
“Xunxun……”
After roughly two or three seconds, the Blue Light in Treasure Seeker’s eyes faded. They blinked in confusion and chirped. The target’s location had vanished.
Privately, they exhaled in relief.
“Ya Ya?”
Fangy cried anxiously.
How could it be untraceable?
“How could it be untraceable?” Qiao Sang frowned, her brow furrowing.
“Xunxun……”
Treasure Seeker shook their head.
They had no idea either.
Could it be Li Ou Yasi no longer wanted Fangy and Treasure Seeker to return? At this thought, Qiao Sang’s earlier excitement instantly cooled.
Obtaining the Li Huo Jing required Li Ou Yasi’s consent. If it refused to let Fangy and Treasure Seeker return, how could they ever acquire it…
Migala fell silent for a moment before turning to Pengamei.
“You try.”
“Pengpeng.”
Pengamei nodded, her eyes immediately glowing Blue Light.
“Pengpeng.”
Quickly, the Blue Light dissipated. She shook her head and chirped.
Migala’s voice deepened. “It seems Li Ou Yasi has set up a barrier.”
Just as she suspected… Qiao Sang fell into silence at her words.
Treasure Seeker’s Shadow Penetration should have pierced the barrier, but Li Ou Yasi had deliberately erected it after Fangy and Treasure Seeker left. It clearly didn’t want them returning. Even if Treasure Seeker managed to slip through, the chances of obtaining the Li Huo Jing were slim.
Worse, it might provoke Li Ou Yasi’s anger.
Migala fell silent too, understanding the barrier’s purpose.
Amid the tense silence, Steel Treasure suddenly called out:
“Steel Chief.”
They suggested Qingbao and Xialala try. During the tenth seat’s gathering, it was Qingbao and Xialala who had been recognized and allowed entry.
Steel Treasure turned to Xialala and chirped again:
“Steel Chief.”
The familiars at Flame Sky Star who’d lived a few hundred years should recognize her.
“Xiàxià.”
Before Qiao Sang could speak, Xialala chirped eagerly, volunteering to go.
Xialala… Qiao Sang felt a surge of gratitude.
“Qīngqīng~”
Qingbao chimed in, signaling willingness too.
“If Qingbao and Freshbloom go, would they be in danger?” Qiao Sang asked Teacher Mikara.
Though she saw the wisdom in the idea, she hesitated. Their safety hinged on Li Ou Yasi recognizing Xialala—a mere guess. If anything went wrong, Xialala could be hurt.
Pengamei had already relayed Steel Treasure’s suggestion, and Migala had considered it. She glanced at Xialala, then asked Qiao Sang:
“Didn’t the tenth seat tell you to contact them when leaving? Did they give you a way to reach them?”
Qiao Sang paused, then nodded, realization dawning.
“Yes, they gave me their phone number.”
“???!”
Migala and Dragon King both stiffened.
The tenth seat gave a phone number? A phone number!
“Momo!”
Dragon King perked up, sidling beside Qiao Sang with a “we’re buddies” vibe. They nudged her with their wings, chirping playfully to imply, Since we’re such good friends, can I have the tenth seat’s number too?
Migala didn’t translate. Instead, her expression turned grave.
“We’ll go together. If Freshbloom’s authority isn’t enough, contact the tenth seat directly in front of Li Ou Yasi.”
“Understood.” Qiao Sang nodded solemnly.
“Qīngqīng……”
Qingbao pouted.
They’d been mentioned at first, but later left out. If Li Ou Yasi recognized them, surely they’d comply!
“Xunxun~”
Treasure Seeker nodded enthusiastically.
Going together sounded great!
“Yāyā!”
Fangy didn’t grasp why the situation felt so serious. To them, Li Ou Yasi had seemed approachable—it hadn’t even minded their lingering in its territory. But seeing everyone set off, Fangy chirped excitedly.
“We’ll move first,” Qiao Sang said.
Though the crater was the main attraction, the area had observation decks and geological exhibits for tourists. Finding an empty spot was easy.
Treasure Seeker had already scanned the crater’s terrain. Without checking maps, they led the way.
Soon, Qiao Sang and her familiars reached a shaded building.
Qiao Sang inhaled. “Let’s go. Use Shadow Penetration.”
“Xunxun~”
Treasure Seeker nodded, channeling their energy.
A moment later, a two-meter-wide black hole materialized.
Qiao Sang, Migala, and their familiars stepped through.
The black hole vanished behind them.
…
Deep within the crater’s underground.
“Lili……”
Li Ou Yasi opened its eyes, staring at the shadows appearing in its lair with an unimpressed expression.
So this was Li Ou Yasi… Qiao Sang’s body tensed, her heartbeat quickening.
Truthfully, she’d seen many rare, endangered, phantom, ancient, and legendary familiars. She’d even bonded a legendary one, though she’d only seen the tenth seat’s full form. Li Ou Yasi was the second Divine Rank familiar she’d encountered.
Though Li Ou Yasi emitted no Divine Rank aura, the nerves of standing face-to-face with one were entirely different.
Migala inhaled sharply, her heart pounding.
After nearly two centuries, this was only her second encounter with a Divine Rank familiar…
“Lili.”
Li Ou Yasi didn’t rise, remaining sprawled. It called out with clear impatience.
“Yāyā!”
Before Qiao Sang could speak, Fangy stepped forward, chirping bluntly.
Can I have your eye secretions? They’re my Evolution Materials. Thanks!
So direct… Qiao Sang blinked, then steadied herself, bowing earnestly.
“We beg you!”
Li Ou Yasi’s irritation faded. It studied Fangy, then Qingbao beside them.
“Qīngqīng.”
Noticing the gaze, Qingbao floated forward, stroking their Cloud Steps with a sweet smile.
Li Ou Yasi averted its eyes.
Qingbao: “???”
“Xunxun……”
Treasure Seeker stealthily extended a short toe to poke Xialala.
“Xiàxià.”
Xialala reacted, turning to Li Ou Yasi with a chirp. They raised their claws and removed the durable flower atop their head.
