Chapter 1191: Reunion with Tenth Seat (Two-in-One)
Chapter 1191: Reunion with Tenth Seat (Two-in-One)
"Xunxun?"
The Treasure Seeker glanced left and right anxiously.
Already back?
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy glanced around, his expression turning anxious. He called out, asking if they could return. He hadn’t learned what happened to Li Ou Yasi and Xialala afterward.
"Xunxun..."
The Treasure Seeker floated to Xialala’s side, pointed at her, and chirped, indicating Xialala had ended up like this.
Xialala blinked.
"Xunxun..."
The Treasure Seeker waved its claws and chirped again.
As for Li Ou Yasi, he had become a spiritual form and remained in the cave. Big Brother Yabao, you shouldn’t have forgotten that.
"Fangy."
Fangy suddenly recalled, his tail drooping. He let out a mournful cry, struggling to accept the situation.
Migala, standing nearby, pressed her forehead, looking pained.
"Teacher, are you okay?" Qiao Sang noticed and asked.
Migala didn’t answer.
At that moment, her temple throbbed. A memory that wasn’t originally hers surfaced vividly.
"Who are you?"
"It seems you’ve recognized me."
"Want a photo or an autograph?"
"Then take one."
"Of course, I’ll win."
"Since we’re fated to meet, I’ll sign another for you."
"No worries, I brought one. How about on your backpack?"
"What’s the problem? Just tell her."
...
Migala’s mind erupted with a thunderclap, memories crashing like the Five Thunder Crashes.
What had she done?!
Earlier, Qiao Sang had mentioned obtaining an autograph from her century-old self, but hearing about it was completely different from experiencing it vividly in her mind!
And there was more!
When Qiao Sang asked Pengamei about the Stealthy Shield’s language, did she realize Pengamei had once impersonated the Stealthy Shield?
No, impossible! Absolutely not!
At this moment, Migala stiffened, feeling the agony of social death.
Meanwhile, Pengamei nearby was equally rigid.
"Teacher, are you okay?" Qiao Sang asked, her tone concerned.
"N-No, I’m fine..." Migala’s expression was strained as she deflected:
"This might already be the best outcome."
Qiao Sang understood what Teacher Mikara meant. She stayed silent, a silent agreement.
No sun explosion, no casualties in Mingzhou, and Li Ou Yasi becoming a spiritual form—this was, in a way, the best outcome.
Then, she glanced around, noticing Shi Pan Te’s absence.
As she was about to speak, Tingbao wore a puzzled expression and chirped:
"Tingting?"
Where was the Yuan Bing jellyfish?
"Yuan Bing jellyfish?" Qiao Sang hesitated, looking left and right again, then exclaimed in shock:
"Where’s Yuan Bing jellyfish?"
Migala, still reeling from her social death, raised her head in alarm:
"Did Yuan Bing jellyfish not return with us?"
"Tingting?"
Tingbao chirped, shocked.
What? He didn’t return?
That was the only possibility. If true, Shi Pan Te was too unreliable... Qiao Sang frowned, then shouted:
"Shi Pan Te! Shi Pan Te!"
No response or appearance from Shi Pan Te.
"Tingting."
Tingbao chirped, suggesting they go back to fetch him.
Qiao Sang sighed: "It’s not that simple."
"Tingting?"
Tingbao wore a "What now?" look.
Lulu glanced at him, suddenly radiating a visible chill aura.
The surrounding air dropped sharply.
"Tingting..."
Tingbao’s worry melted into comfort.
"Why don’t you contact Tenth Seat?" Migala suggested.
Qiao Sang had the same idea. She pulled out her mobile phone and dialed Tenth Seat’s number.
The Dragon King perked up, leaning closer.
After several rings, the call connected.
"Tenth Seat, it’s me, the human entrusted to show Xialala around", Qiao Sang reported her identity.
"What is it?" Tenth Seat spoke human language.
"It’s like this", Qiao Sang explained. "We just returned from a century ago, but one of our companions didn’t come back. Could you help contact Shi Pan Te to bring him over?"
Tenth Seat paused, then said:
"I understand."
The line cut off immediately.
"Momo..."
The Dragon King felt the abrupt hang-up, disappointed.
He hadn’t even exchanged a word with Tenth Seat...
"Ya Ya?"
Fangy couldn’t wait, chirping eagerly if they were returning.
"No need", Qiao Sang replied. "Shi Pan Te can bring Yuan Bing jellyfish himself."
"Fangy."
Fangy’s expression fell.
About ten minutes later, a gust of wind blew. Qiao Sang sensed something and turned to the window.
There stood Shi Pan Te, resentment etched on his face.
"Steel Chief."
Steel Treasure translated in his mind.
"Impossible", Qiao Sang’s first reaction was disbelief.
Yuan Bing jellyfish had work here and had even asked about this month’s salary. Why wouldn’t he return?
"Steel Chief."
Shi Pan Te snorted again, indicating he could’ve forced him back, but Xialala stopped him. He couldn’t offend her.
"Steel Chief."
Steel Treasure translated again.
Qiao Sang paused, then asked: "Did Yuan Bing jellyfish say why he refused?"
"Steel Chief."
Shi Pan Te scoffed.
He was already working for the Beastmaster League. Of course, he didn’t want to return.
He vanished.
A moment later, Shi Pan Te reappeared, warning with a cry:
"Steel Chief."
Don’t contact me via Tenth Seat again.
He vanished once more.
"Steel Chief."
Steel Treasure translated again.
Working for the Beastmaster League? Qiao Sang was stunned.
"Momo!"
The Dragon King stared at the spot Shi Pan Te vanished from, crying out, "Don’t go!"
Bring him back! He can stay and work for the Beastmaster League!
Migala glanced at the Dragon King, then asked Qiao Sang:
"What’s going on? What did Shi Pan Te say?"
"He said Yuan Bing jellyfish refused to come back and is already working for the Beastmaster League..." Qiao Sang muttered, dazed.
Migala paused, suddenly understanding the Dragon King’s outburst.
They had just returned, so how could Yuan Bing jellyfish already be working for the Beastmaster League?
Unless... Shi Pan Te’s timeline was off.
Qiao Sang immediately picked up her phone, searching for news about the century-old Fire Meteor.
Qiao Sang scanned the results for a long while but found no useful information. She then typed in "Beastmaster League Yuan Bing jellyfish" in bold.
The relevant page quickly loaded.
When she saw a dedicated Description page, Qiao Sang hesitated for a moment before clicking in:
【Yuan Bing jellyfish, originally named Yuan Sanhao. During the drought following the Fire Meteor event, it led a group of Ice-Type familiars and Grass-Type Companion Beasts in anti-drought efforts, actively rescuing people across various regions. It irrigated vast tracts of land during the drought years and provided the populace with abundant ice cubes and water sources. After three years of disaster relief, it joined the Beastmaster League...】
Yuan Sanhao... Sanhao... It really was him... Qiao Sang stared at the ID photo at the top of the file, silent for over ten seconds before fully absorbing this information.
Though the Yuan Bing jellyfish in the photo looked much more mature, she recognized it instantly after spending so much time together.
That Yuan Bing jellyfish had joined the Beastmaster League a century ago was something she’d never anticipated—like an ordinary staff member traveling abroad and never returning.
When she finally learned the truth, the person had already become a historical figure with a documented name, reputation, and achievements.
It was utterly absurd...
"Didn’t expect Yuan Bing jellyfish to have done so much..." Migala leaned over to read the file and murmured thoughtfully,
"Now I understand why it refused to return."
"Tingting..."
Tingbao stayed by Lulu’s side, its expression gloomy as it chirped. If Yuan Bing jellyfish didn’t return, what would happen to the room’s temperature?
"Since we’ve finished what we needed here, we should Prepare to leave", Qiao Sang said.
"But before leaving, I want to visit one more place."
Migala looked at her:
"Fire Meteor Crater?"
Qiao Sang nodded:
"Right. I want to see Li Ou Yasi again."
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy immediately perked up.
...
Five minutes later.
Fire Meteor Crater Underground.
The barrier was gone. Qiao Sang’s expression turned complex as she gazed at the cave entrance, stepping inside with Teacher Mikara and Fangy.
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy charged in impatiently.
Yet the inside was already devoid of Li Ou Yasi’s shadow.
"Fangy!"
Fangy halted, scanning the surroundings in an attempt to locate Li Ou Yasi.
"It seems Li Ou Yasi isn’t here anymore", Migala said gravely.
"When we left, its spirit form seemed reluctant to move. How could it just vanish...?" Qiao Sang frowned. "And why is the temperature still so high?"
If the crater’s heat originated from Li Ou Yasi’s spirit, the temperature should’ve dropped once it left.
Migala fell into thought, equally puzzled.
Suddenly, Fangy seemed to sense something and darted in a specific direction.
It stopped and pawed at the ground.
Soon, a crimson Beast Egg, streaked with faint black lines, emerged.
"Xia Xia..."
Xialala stared at the Beast Egg, feeling an odd sense of familiarity.
This... Qiao Sang stepped forward, observing the Beast Egg’s scorching heat. Her expression grew uncertain, a wild thought taking shape in her mind.
Migala, standing beside the Egg, clearly had the same realization, her eyes widening in shock.
"Ya Ya?"
Fangy curiously raised its claws, about to touch the Egg when Qiao Sang shouted:
"Don’t move!"
"Fangy!"
Startled, Fangy obediently lowered its claws.
Qiao Sang took a deep breath and turned to the Treasure Seeker: "Identify what this Beast Egg belongs to."
She remembered that the Beast Identifier she’d purchased could recognize not only familiars but also Beast Eggs.
"Xunxun~"
The Treasure Seeker chirped, removing its ring and pulling out the Beast Identifier. It aimed the device at the Egg.
Soon, a voice matching the Treasure Seeker’s tone rang out:
"Ah, master, who do you want me to check this time... Identification failed, identification failed! I can’t identify the Beast Egg in front of me~ Master, I think it might be a posture issue. Try changing angles~"
The Treasure Seeker shifted positions and tried again.
"Identification failed, identification failed..." The Beast Identifier sounded astonished. "There’s actually a Beast Egg I can’t recognize! Unbelievable..."
"Xunxun..."
The Treasure Seeker lowered the device, shaking its head.
It couldn’t identify the Egg.
That’s just as well... Qiao Sang faintly heard her own racing heartbeat.
If she wasn’t mistaken, this was likely Li Ou Yasi’s Beast Egg...
Qiao Sang and Migala exchanged glances.
"What do you plan to do?" Migala asked.
Qiao Sang inhaled deeply, her tone resolute: "I want to contact the Tenth Seat."
Frankly, she was tempted, but reason told her she already had Fangy as a fire-type. Plus, her brain domain had only recently awakened to 60%. Reaching 70% during the Flame Sky Star period was nearly impossible. Taking an unbound legendary familiar’s offspring off Flame Sky Star? Virtually unthinkable.
Teacher Mikara, being an S-Rank Beastmaster, faced an even steeper challenge. Advancing her brain domain from this point would be exponentially harder—perhaps never happening in her lifetime on Flame Sky Star.
With bonding ruled out, her only option was the Tenth Seat.
Migala remained silent for a long while before exhaling slowly: "Contact them then."
Qiao Sang pulled out her mobile phone.
The Dragon King sat upright.
After two "Dudu" tones, the call connected.
"What?" The Tenth Seat answered bluntly.
"I’ve found Li Ou Yasi’s Beast Egg in the Fire Meteor Crater Underground. Would you be able to come take it?" Qiao Sang asked directly.
The Tenth Seat didn’t respond—the call cut off immediately.
"Ya Ya?!"
Fangy’s shock finally surfaced.
What? This was Li Ou Yasi’s Beast Egg? It turned into an egg?
Qiao Sang: "...Wait, you dug it up the moment you arrived. I thought you knew..."
Before she could finish, a sudden black hole tore through space, materializing without warning.
From the abyssal void stepped a familiar figure—two meters tall, mostly black with vivid red pupils. A lightning-shaped black horn adorned its head, four jet-black shoulder guards on its shoulders connected to fan-like wings at the back. The Miniaturization Band around its wrist glinted gray.
The Tenth Seat had arrived.
Qiao Sang had seen the Tenth Seat before and was mentally prepared for its grand entrance. Her expression barely shifted.
Migala and the Dragon King, however, stiffened instantly, staring in awe at the imposing figure before them.
