Chapter 295: Nursery
Chapter 295: Nursery
After Qiao Sang stepped back to a safe position, the combat training began immediately.
"Boom!"
A massive fireball shot out and exploded mid-air, the intense flames instantly illuminating the dim courtyard.
"Xun!"
The Treasure Seeker teleported to the other side, extending its Short-toed Treasure Hook and taunting with a provocative wag of its tail.
Come on, what are you going to do now?
Qiao Sang: "……"
This little guy, the Treasure Seeker has become increasingly skilled at taunting. I wonder who it practices with...
At that moment, a dozen black ant heads emerged from the cracks in the ground at the corner of the courtyard, looking at the Treasure Seeker with a mix of fear and anger.
Taunting easily draws hate and provokes the opponent's anger. Besides helping teammates attract attention in group battles, it can also make the target act irrationally.
Fangy is naturally hot-tempered, and although it has calmed down a bit since bonding with Qiao Sang, it’s still easily riled up.
The Treasure Seeker’s taunt sent Fangy into a rage.
"Fang!"
Fangy bared its fangs.
Looks like I need to teach this little brother a lesson, or it’ll forget who’s the big brother!
Fangy summoned clones, and dozens of identical Flame Listeners opened their mouths, releasing fiery orbs that shot toward the Treasure Seeker in the air.
The courtyard was bathed in a brilliant light.
"Bang, bang, bang!!!"
The fireballs rained down, leaving terrifying craters on the ground.
"Xun!"
The Treasure Seeker, terrified by the onslaught, kept teleporting.
It had just dodged a fireball larger than its entire body, only to find another one hurtling toward it from the front.
The Treasure Seeker shuddered and disappeared again.
"Xunxun!"
When the Treasure Seeker reappeared, it looked on the verge of tears.
Isn’t this supposed to be combat training? Why is Big Brother Yabao attacking so fiercely!
"Ding-dong~"
Amidst the continuous explosions, Qiao Sang didn’t notice that the doorbell had been ringing for nearly a minute.
"What’s wrong with this child, not even answering the phone", Ye Xiangting said, frowning as she put down her mobile phone.
"Pigeon..."
The Plump Homing Dove continued pressing the doorbell with its wing.
"Stop it", Ye Xiangting said, looking up. "I remember there’s a courtyard at the back of the house. Fly in from there and see if anyone’s home."
"Pigeon."
The Plump Homing Dove nodded and flapped its wings toward the back.
Before it reached the courtyard, it heard a deafening boom.
"Pigeon..."
The Plump Homing Dove flew higher, cautiously approaching.
When it reached above the courtyard, it lowered its head and saw the Treasure Seeker’s back suddenly appear less than a meter away.
"Pigeon~"
The Plump Homing Dove flapped its wings and greeted it warmly.
The next second, the Treasure Seeker disappeared, and a searing flame rushed toward it.
"Pigeon!"
...
Five minutes later.
In the living room.
"Mom, I was just helping Fangy and the Treasure Seeker train. It was too noisy, and I didn’t hear the doorbell", Qiao Sang explained.
Ye Xiangting’s gaze shifted from the Treasure Seeker to Qiao Sang and asked, "Why didn’t you tell me about the Treasure Seeker’s evolution?"
Qiao Sang: "……"
Of course, it never even thought about it, but could she say that?
No!
"The evolution is a recent thing", Qiao Sang replied nonchalantly. "I’ve been really busy lately. I was recently assigned to the Junior Year School Team by the Vice Principal, and I come back from training around 7 or 8 PM every day. I have to finish my homework, so I hardly have time to call."
Ye Xiangting let out a cold snort and said, "A phone call takes about five seconds to connect, and you can finish telling me what’s going on in less than a minute. Now, you don’t even have a minute to spare."
Why are you still hung up on this! You should be surprised that I made it into the Senior High School Team! Qiao Sang inwardly cursed, realizing he had failed to divert his mother's attention.
Ye Xiangting continued, "How did you get into the Senior High School Team without telling me?"
Qiao Sang: "……"
At that moment, Lulu finished casting Healing Light, and Plump Homing Dove slowly opened her eyes.
"Pigeon……"
Plump Homing Dove looked around, then seemed to remember something. She pouted and ran toward Ye Xiangting.
"Pigeon!"
Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief; his mother's attention was finally about to shift.
Ye Xiangting caught Plump Homing Dove and carefully examined her from head to toe. She then turned to Lulu with curiosity. "What’s this familiar called? Which of your friends’ is it? The healing skill is really impressive."
Qiao Sang scratched his head and said apologetically, "Her name is Glacialia, and she’s yours."
Ye Xiangting was taken aback. "Mine?"
Qiao Sang explained, "This is the third familiar I’ve bonded with."
"Lulu."
Lulu let out a cool greeting.
Ye Xiangting fell silent for a long moment.
Just when Qiao Sang thought his mother would continue to be silent, Ye Xiangting asked expressionlessly, "When did you break through to the Brain Domain, and why didn’t you tell me?"
"And why didn’t you tell me about bonding with a new familiar?"
Qiao Sang: "……"
"Fangy" looked on with a helpless expression. There was no way out; he had simply kept too many things from her.
Qiao Sang didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he turned to Lulu and said seriously, "It’s an emergency, Healing Waves, hurry!"
Lulu, seeing her Beastmaster’s serious face, didn’t hesitate and began to sing.
"Lulu~ Lulululu~ Lulu~ Lulu~ Lulu~"
After the song ended, Qiao Sang finally answered his mother's questions. "It happened a while ago. I’ve been really busy. Vice Principal recently assigned me to the Junior Year School Team. I get back from training around 7 or 8 PM every day and have to rush through my homework. I haven’t had much time to call you."
Ye Xiangting worriedly said, "Although the Vice Principal values you, you’re only a sophomore. Isn’t it too much to join the Senior High School Team so quickly? It might be too tiring."
Healing Waves! Incredible! Qiao Sang was inwardly overjoyed but acted nonchalant. "It’s fine. It’s just a bit more tiring, and I have less free time. I can handle it."
"Now that you’re in high school, you have to work hard to get into a good university."
Ye Xiangting felt a mix of concern and pride. She looked at Qiao Sang with gentle eyes and said, "I came today to tell you something."
"What is it?" Qiao Sang asked. "Why didn’t you just call me?"
Ye Xiangting softly replied, "You’ve been so busy, you don’t even have a minute to spare for a call."
Qiao Sang: "……"
Was this really not a passive-aggressive comment?
For a moment, Qiao Sang seriously doubted if the effects of Healing Waves had worn off.
Ye Xiangting continued, "The nursery you mentioned last time is now open."
