Chapter 132: Did You Play with Water?
Chapter 132: Did You Play with Water?
If one mouth can't release both Flame Jet and Flame Vortex simultaneously, would two mouths do the trick?
Following this logic, if there were two Flame Listeners, could one use Psychic-type skills while the other uses Fire skills?
Qiao Sang looked at Fangy's original with hopeful anticipation.
The Flame Listener on the right opened its mouth, and a scorching flame began to condense in front of it. The crimson firelight was particularly dazzling in the night.
However, in the next second, the half-formed flame suddenly dissipated.
Qiao Sang was taken aback—it had failed...
But it wasn't a complete failure; at least the flame had appeared while the clone was using Psychic Power to control it.
But where did the problem lie?
Qiao Sang recalled the times Fangy used clones to release skills.
Back then, all the clones could release skills, but they all used the same skill.
After some thought, Qiao Sang understood.
Clones lack consciousness; all their actions are controlled by the original.
Controlling a single action was manageable, but handling multiple actions simultaneously was more challenging.
Both the original and the clones had energy to release skills, so it wasn't an energy issue; it must be a mental one.
Maintaining the continuous release of Psychic Power by the clone while the original tried to use a completely different skill was too much for Fangy to handle.
In simple terms, Fangy's brain couldn't keep up...
Qiao Sang looked at the still bewildered Fangy with a mix of emotions.
"Ya?"
Fangy stared in shock and confusion at the vanished Spark.
It had practiced Spark the most, but this time, it failed to release it!
Due to the shock, Fangy forgot to maintain the Shadow Clone, and the rock it had been controlling with Psychic Power fell into the pool, creating ripples.
At the same time, a pair of dark eyes opened unseen at the bottom of the pool.
The Treasure Seeker seemed to sense something and curiously looked in the direction of the pool.
The eyes at the bottom of the pool closed again.
"Xun?"
The Treasure Seeker tilted its head, staring at the pool for three seconds before losing interest and turning away.
"It's fine, this is normal for your first attempt. We can increase this kind of training over the next few days. It's very late now, let's go back to sleep", Qiao Sang said, patting Fangy's head.
"Ya."
Fangy shook its head, feeling wide awake and ready to train.
Qiao Sang felt a headache coming on. What could she do about her overly dedicated familiar...
"Staying up late will make you ugly", Qiao Sang warned.
Fangy's body stiffened, recalling its handsome appearance.
Ugly?
That wouldn't do!
"Ya!"
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy crouched down, signaling for its Beastmaster to climb on and hurry up.
Qiao Sang: "..."
So easy to manipulate...
After Qiao Sang left, the dark eyes at the bottom of the pool opened again.
...
The next day.
After training, Qiao Sang returned to her dorm to pack her things.
She opened the package that had just arrived, which contained a new rope for Fangy.
Jin Fanfei stood at the door, looking sad. "Are you really moving out?"
"Yes", Qiao Sang reassured her. "But I'll still be at school every day, so we can see each other often."
She was touched that her roommate had grown so attached to her in just a few days.
Jin Fanfei envied her. "I also applied to live off-campus, but the school didn't approve it."
Qiao Sang casually asked, "When did you apply?"
Jin Fanfei instinctively replied, "When you moved in..."
She suddenly stopped.
Qiao Sang paused, looking up to meet Jin Fanfei's panicked eyes.
Finish your sentence!
This could easily be misunderstood as if she applied after Qiao Sang moved in instead of before!
Jin Fanfei, seeing Qiao Sang's gaze, panicked. "It's not what you think. Although I wanted to change rooms when you first moved in, I haven't had that thought since!"
Qiao Sang: "……"
So, it wasn't a misunderstanding after all...
But thinking about it, it makes sense. When she first moved in, her roommate clearly seemed afraid of Fangy and Treasure Seeker.
She's probably still scared, which is why she's standing at the door and not coming in.
At this moment, Ballpuff poked its head out from behind Jin Fanfei.
It looked around at the luggage being packed, then cautiously glanced in Treasure Seeker's direction. After a few seconds of hesitation, it mustered the courage to walk in.
"Ball."
"Ballball."
Qiao Sang, Fangy, Treasure Seeker, and Jin Fanfei all looked at it in surprise.
Under everyone's gaze, Ballpuff's nearly invisible short legs started to tremble.
Its face turned red as it extended a paw to remove the Dandelion from its head and offered it forward.
"Ball!"
"Ballball!"
Qiao Sang was taken aback by Ballpuff's actions. "For me?"
Ballpuff's body froze.
Jin Fanfei, realizing what was happening, quickly translated for his familiar. "It's for Treasure Seeker."
Qiao Sang: "……"
Treasure Seeker stared at Ballpuff, confused as to why this little creature, which usually avoided it, would give it a Dandelion.
After all, it used to cry whenever Treasure Seeker tried to give it milk.
"Ball."
"Ballball."
Seeing that Treasure Seeker wasn't coming over, Ballpuff mustered more courage, looked up at Treasure Seeker, and called out again.
"Xun~"
Treasure Seeker snapped out of its daze, floated over to Ballpuff, and hesitated before accepting the Dandelion.
As it did, it couldn't help but wonder if Ballpuff was actually trying to get milk from it…
…
Changan Road.
Heavenly View Garden, 1705.
The house had two floors, and for convenience, Qiao Sang decided to stay on the first floor. She went to the bedroom on the first floor to start unpacking.
"Ya!"
"Ya!"
Fangy was running around the living room on the first floor.
It was looking for its mirror!
Treasure Seeker, perched on its Beastmaster's head, looked at the Dandelion in its hand, puzzled as to why Ballpuff hadn't asked for milk in the end.
Qiao Sang, hearing the commotion from the living room, felt a bit uneasy.
When she came out to check, she saw three Flame Listeners rummaging around, apparently looking for something.
"What are you doing?" Qiao Sang asked the Flame Listener that was peering under the sofa.
Because of their bond, she could easily tell which one was Fangy's original.
"Ya."
"Ya ya."
Fangy turned around and called out pitifully.
It was looking for its mirror!
Qiao Sang: "……"
She cleared her throat and said, "I bought a full-length mirror, but it won't arrive for a couple of days. If you really can't wait, you can use the mirror in the bathroom for now."
Fangy's expression turned conflicted. The mirror in the bathroom was too small, and every time it went in, it ended up being bathed without understanding why…
"Ya ya."
It quickly shook its head, remembering how it felt when water touched its body.
It's only two days, right?
It can wait!
Qiao Sang wasn't surprised by this reaction. She knew it would be like this…
"You can watch TV if you're bored." Qiao Sang turned on the TV and returned to the bedroom to continue unpacking.
After she finished unpacking all her luggage, she walked to the living room and saw Fangy, just like in Hometown, completely absorbed in watching a battle competition.
It had been a while since she had watched TV…
Qiao Sang decided to join Fangy on the couch.
Just as she took a few steps, she felt something odd under her feet.
Looking down, she was stunned.
She asked in disbelief, "Fangy, did you play with water?"
