Chapter 231: Watching the Evolution
Chapter 231: Watching the Evolution
On the way home, Qiao Sang sat on Fangy, took a big sip of her iced milk tea, and let out a contented sigh.
School wasn't physically tiring, but it was mentally draining.
Especially when she was surrounded by a bunch of academic gods, and every teacher paid extra attention to her. It felt like she wasn't in a class with one teacher and a group of students, but rather one student and a group of teachers.
Fortunately, the Energy Level measured by Fangy and Treasure Seeker provided her with a great deal of comfort.
Qiao Sang sipped her milk tea, feeling quite pleased.
Given the current situation, winning the Provincial Championship and advancing to the Regional Tournament, and securing a spot in the Finals, wasn't a sure thing, but it was at least highly likely.
At that moment, her mobile phone vibrated in her pocket.
It was a call from Song Yuan.
Qiao Sang swiped to answer and called out, "Sister Song."
Song Yuan's tone was light and cheerful, "The photos from Fangy's last photoshoot are all ready, and we've also written the topics. I'll send them to you shortly, and remember to post them on Superblog."
"Sure", Qiao Sang replied.
"By the way, are you staying at school now?" Song Yuan asked.
Qiao Sang was taken aback, "No, why do you ask?"
"The new sunglasses you didn't take the other day, I'll send them to you", Song Yuan said with a laugh.
"Alright, but I don't stay at school. I'll send you my address later", Qiao Sang answered.
During the collaboration, the brand usually gifts the products endorsed by the familiar. Besides the partnership, part of the reason is to have the familiar use the products regularly so more people can see them.
Just as the call ended, before Qiao Sang could take another sip of her milk tea, her mobile phone vibrated again.
She picked it up and glanced at the screen, feeling a bit surprised.
It was Bai Yunmiao.
"Why are you suddenly calling me?" Qiao Sang asked after answering.
They usually chatted online, but this was the first time Bai Yunmiao had called her.
Bai Yunmiao's voice came through the phone, almost breaking with excitement:
"Genius Qiao! Are you free right now! My Gold-Sprinkled Vine is about to Evolve! Do you want to come and watch!"
Qiao Sang instinctively pulled the phone away from her ear.
Once Bai Yunmiao finished speaking, Qiao Sang brought the phone back to her ear and said, "Of course I'll come! Give me your address, and I'll head over right away."
Familiar Evolution is a significant event for a Beastmaster. If a familiar evolves unexpectedly, it's one thing, but if the evolution is known to occur at a specific time, most Beastmasters will prepare in advance.
They would notify their friends and family, record the entire evolution process, and some might even bathe and burn incense beforehand to show their respect for the familiar's evolution.
Even if it's not their own familiar, no Beastmaster would be uninterested in a familiar's Evolution.
Familiar Evolution is always a hot topic of discussion throughout the Alliance.
If not for Fangy's special circumstances last time, Qiao Sang would have recorded the entire process as well.
"I've already sent you the location! Hurry over!"
"Got it."
After hanging up, Qiao Sang opened her chat app and clicked on the location Bai Yunmiao had sent.
[341 Nanhe Street, Nanli Park]
...
Meanwhile.
"That little fraudster hasn't shown up yet..."
On a necessary route from Holy Water High School to Heavenly View Garden, Li Songhai was hiding in a small alley on the left side, constantly looking out.
This area was in the suburbs, with few people around and no entertainment facilities nearby.
It was already more than an hour past the normal end of the workday. Those who should have gone home had already done so, and those who should have gone out had already left. There was hardly anyone passing by.
Li Songhai had been squatting here for three full hours, all to catch sight of Qiao Sang.
He never imagined that he, a proud D-Rank Beastmaster, would be outwitted by a little girl who hadn't even fully developed yet.
Every time he thought about how he had even kindly warned her about the Ghost-type familiar in the house, Li Songhai felt like slapping himself.
Stupid!
So stupid!
Believing everything others said!
That little cheat was probably laughing at him behind his back!
No wonder she wasn't afraid when she heard about the Ghost-type familiar—it was hers all along!
They say the prettier the woman, the better she can deceive, and he never thought this would apply to girls too!
Li Songhai had initially planned to rush in and teach that little brat a lesson, but ultimately, the allure of Aquariana won out.
Though he managed to control his impulse, he was so angry that he couldn't sleep last night. He had Mucosnail go over early in the morning to monitor when the little girl would leave and to find Aquariana's location.
To his surprise, Mucosnail returned and told him that Aquariana was in the little girl's backpack and had gone out with her.
This made Li Songhai even more cautious.
That Aquariana actually willing to be so close to a human...
He wasn't worried that the little girl had bonded with Aquariana. She already had two familiars, and given her age, it was impossible for her to have a third page in her Beastmaster Codex.
However, Aquariana going out presented an opportunity. After all, Heavenly View Garden was a residential area, and any fight would make too much noise and attract attention.
Li Songhai had checked, and the only nearby school was Holy Water High School. She would definitely pass through here on her way back.
So, he had been waiting here before school ended, and now he had been waiting for hours.
"How late is it? She still hasn't come back."
As Li Songhai muttered, he slapped himself on the face.
Looking at the Nth mosquito he had killed, which was now bleeding in his hand, Li Songhai cursed softly, "If she doesn't come soon, I'm going to be anemic from all this blood loss!"
...
Nanli Park.
Bai Yunmiao set up the camera and gave Gold-Sprinkled Vine a solemn nod.
After a moment of eye contact with its Beastmaster, Gold-Sprinkled Vine placed the Evolution Stone on its forehead.
The Evolution Stone glowed green, and in the next second, a strong white light enveloped Gold-Sprinkled Vine's body.
When the white light dissipated, a familiar with a green flower on its head, green eyes, and a body covered in pink leaves like a grass skirt appeared in the park.
Qiao Sang's eyes lit up. Although she had seen Fangy evolve once before, watching a familiar evolve was always a marvel!
Fangy had the same expression, but it was thinking about something else.
"Yah!"
Fangy turned to its Beastmaster and called excitedly.
It wanted to battle that guy!
Good grief, after such a long fight yesterday, it still wanted to fight today... Qiao Sang smiled. "Wait, let me ask."
"Xun..."
Treasure Seeker looked on enviously.
It wanted to evolve too...
Bai Yunmiao ran over, hugging Sweet Knot Vine affectionately.
"I thought your Gold-Sprinkled Vine had evolved a month ago. I didn't expect you to use the Evolution Stone now", Qiao Sang said with a smile as she approached.
Gold-Sprinkled Vine had tendrils on its head, and generally, when the tendrils grew to 6 centimeters, it could use a Grass-Type Evolution Stone to evolve into a Sweet Knot Vine.
She remembered that the last time she saw Gold-Sprinkled Vine at the Newcomer Competition, the tendrils on its head were already over 5 centimeters long.
