Chapter 1173
This is the voice of the Tenth Seat... Migala stiffened, instinctively tensing up.
It really is the Tenth Seat's voice! Dragon King's heartbeat spiked as he tensed just as tightly beside her.
Though it was amplified, its head still leaned closer without thinking.
"I'm Qiao Sang." Qiao Sang tried to stir the Tenth Seat's memory. "The one who attended the gathering last time - you entrusted me to take Xialala on a trip."
"I remember you." The Tenth Seat spoke in human language.
The Tenth Seat actually speaks human tongue! Dragon King's eyes widened in shock before quickly accepting this as reasonable.
The Tenth Seat speaks human language? Great! Now I can understand directly without translation... Migala first startled, then felt a surge of hope.
"What do you need?" The Tenth Seat asked.
"I'd like to ask if you have a Li Huo Crystal, or know who might have one", Qiao Sang spoke directly. "One of my Yan Jiao's future Evolution Materials is the Li Huo Crystal. Yesterday I met Li Ou Yasi..."
Her voice involuntarily softened as she continued: "Unfortunately, it's only a spirit form. They told us Flame Sky Star only has this single Li Ou Yasi left - it can't produce any more Li Huo Crystals. That's why I thought to call you."
She paused, then added:
"That's the condition I set when caring for Xialala."
"Xiaxia..."
Though she'd already known this, Xialala still felt inexplicably sad hearing it again.
The Tenth Seat showed no surprise at Li Ou Yasi's spirit form and replied calmly:
"I don't have a Li Huo Crystal, nor do I know where to find one."
Even the Tenth Seat... Qiao Sang couldn't hide her disappointment.
She'd thought the Tenth Seat had a high chance of having or knowing about Li Huo Crystals. Now her hopes had vanished in an instant.
If even the Tenth Seat doesn't know where to find it... she wondered, where could she possibly search...
"Fangy."
Fangy's previously eager eyes dimmed as her tail drooped.
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker approached, sighing while patting Fangy's shoulder.
Qiao Sang said: "Sorry for disturbing you. I'll just..."
"The only way you might obtain a Li Huo Crystal is through time-space traversal", the Tenth Seat interrupted.
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy's eyes lit up with excitement as she cried out.
Treasure Seeker silently lowered their claws.
"What method?" Qiao Sang's eyes shone as she eagerly asked.
"Return to when Li Ou Yasi was still alive", the Tenth Seat replied.
Migala and Fangy froze.
"Return to when Li Ou Yasi was alive?" Qiao Sang blinked in confusion.
"Correct", the Tenth Seat said calmly. "I can have Shi Pan Te take you back to that era. Whether you obtain the Li Huo Crystal depends entirely on your own efforts."
Shi Pan Te - Flame Sky Star's Psychic Type Phantom Beast, legendary for its time-space traversal ability.
Qiao Sang's mind flashed with Shi Pan Te's records as joy surged through her:
"Excellent! When will Shi Pan Te arrive?"
This truly was their only viable chance to obtain the Li Huo Crystal. Without the Tenth Seat's help, she might never have achieved this.
After all, Shi Pan Te was an extremely rare Phantom Beast.
How to find it? How to convince it to travel back centuries? These were once-insurmountable questions.
"I'll have it come immediately", the Tenth Seat said.
After a pause, it asked: "How is Xialala doing?"
"Xiaxia!" Xialala called from the side.
"Chuan Wei." Transvides resumed speaking their language, calling out gently.
The call disconnected.
"Momo..."
Dragon King finally reacted, mentally berating their own incompetence.
How unambitious I am! Missing such a golden opportunity to speak with the Tenth Seat...
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy's face lit with excitement as she cried out.
Though she didn't know Shi Pan Te, she understood she now had a chance to get the Li Huo Crystal.
Qiao Sang smiled at her: "Yes, this is great news."
So we'll get to meet Shi Pan Te and travel through time... Migala's heart raced as she processed this information.
Suddenly realizing something, she abruptly stood and hurried toward the room.
"Teacher, where are you going?" Qiao Sang asked.
"Packing. We need to be ready when Shi Pan Te arrives!" Migala's voice trembled with excitement.
"We'll pack too." Qiao Sang turned to Treasure Seeker.
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker chirped, approaching the suitcase. Their eyes glowed blue as they skillfully levitated various supplies into the luggage.
Suddenly sensing something, Qiao Sang turned toward the window.
There stood an 80-centimeter-tall familiar wearing a Miniaturization Band. Mostly white-furred with messy silver-white hair covering its head and body, two long white antennae draped from either side of its head.
The familiar's disheveled appearance gave it a carelessly unkempt vibe.
Shi Pan Te! Qiao Sang recognized the familiar instantly, calling out joyfully:
"Shi Pan Te!"
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy cried out excitedly.
"Shi Pan Te is here already? So fast!" Migala rushed out of the room, her eyes lighting up when she saw the familiar by the window. She inhaled deeply, trying to calm her exhilaration.
Since arriving on Flame Sky Star, her encounters with rare familiars had skyrocketed.
"Shi Pan?"
Shi Pan Te glanced at Xialala, then the young-looking girl before calling out.
Are you Qiao Sang?
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy translated before Steel Treasure could.
"That's me." Qiao Sang nodded eagerly.
"Shi Pan." The familiar called again.
Time to go.
"Ya Ya!" Fangy's tail wagged as she excitedly translated.
Qiao Sang was about to agree when she suddenly remembered:
"Please wait a moment - we haven't finished packing yet."
"Right, I'll hurry!" Migala, realizing she'd only packed half her luggage, turned to the room.
"Xunxun..." Treasure Seeker silently accelerated their packing speed.
"Shi Pan." Shi Pan Te showed impatience, calling again as its eyes glowed blue.
The next instant, brilliant white light engulfed the suite.
When the light faded, all humans and familiars had vanished from the room.
