Chapter 390: Stylish Looks
Qiao Sang looked at the message on her phone, muttering to herself, "We actually have to go so far away..."
The Dragon Nation consists of 13 regions.
These are the Yuhua Region, Lianbo Region, Lianke Region, Liaoxi Region, Ancient Fog Region, Xilu Region, Beilun Region, Central Hollow Region, Heavy Island Region, Tugui Region, Dongjia Region, Guri Region, and Zhitiya Region.
The vast territory means that most people in the Dragon Nation will never visit all the regions in their lifetime.
The distances between regions vary.
To reach the Ancient Fog Region from Yuhua Region, one must pass through Lianke Region, Lianbo Region, and the Heavy Island Region.
Even a direct flight to the Ancient Fog Region would take over ten hours.
"What's wrong?" Ye Xiangting asked, noticing her daughter staring at her phone for a long time.
Qiao Sang put away her phone and replied, "Teacher said the Regional Tournament is being held in the Ancient Fog Region, and we leave in three days."
Ye Xiangting stopped what she was doing and turned to look at her daughter, surprised. "That far?"
Qiao Sang said, "I can't help it. I made it to the Regional Tournament."
The Regional Tournament, as the name suggests, is a competition held by region.
Although the nation has 13 regions, the strength of these regions varies. Regions with more developed economies and advanced technology tend to have stronger contestants.
In some strong regions, even the tenth-place contestant might be stronger than the top contestant in a weaker region.
To avoid strong regions' lower-ranked contestants from being excluded from the national competition, the Regional Tournament uses a mixed regional format.
The 13 regions are divided into four major zones.
One zone will have four regions' contestants competing together.
Consequently, the number of qualifying spots in this zone will be increased accordingly.
Qiao Sang didn't know which regions Yuhua Region would be competing with, but she was certain that one of them would be the Ancient Fog Region.
After all, the Regional Tournament venues are only set in the participating regions.
Although Ye Xiangting thought it was far, she didn't say anything more.
Her daughter had never left Zhehai Province, let alone visited other regions. She was naturally worried, but Qiao Sang making it to the Regional Tournament was an achievement to be proud of for a lifetime. She couldn't stop her.
...
In the middle of the night, a gentle breeze blew in, causing the curtains to sway slightly. Qiao Sang lay in bed, scrolling through her phone and reading travel guides for the Ancient Fog Region.
Since she had a rare opportunity to visit another region, she wanted to make sure to see the local attractions.
Who knew when she might have another chance to visit the Ancient Fog Region?
Qiao Sang suddenly remembered something and got up, putting on her slippers and heading to the courtyard.
Snowflakes were falling, and the courtyard was already covered in a light layer of snow.
Lulu was still training, while Treasure Seeker was excitedly building a snowman by the fence.
The level of intensity here is terrifying... Qiao Sang thought to herself and then said, "Don't you want to take a break?"
"Lulu."
Lulu turned her head at the sound of Qiao Sang's voice and called out, indicating that she didn't need a break.
Qiao Sang continued, "We'll be heading to the Ancient Fog Region in a few days. You're from there. Is there anywhere you want to visit?"
"Lulu..."
Lulu stopped her training and turned to look, her expression blank.
Qiao Sang found Lulu's expression amusing. Lulu had always been aloof, even before her Heartbreak, and she had never seen such a "dazed" look on her face.
"Is there anywhere you want to go?" Qiao Sang asked again.
"Lulu."
Lulu came back to her senses, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded seriously.
Of course there is... Qiao Sang smiled and asked, "Where?"
"Lulu."
"Lulu."
Lulu gestured, indicating a place with a tree and a house.
Qiao Sang nodded. "Then what?"
"Lulu."
"Lulu."
Lulu continued to gesture, indicating there was a familiar with a long, slender body.
Qiao Sang nodded, gesturing for Lulu to continue.
"Lu..."
"Lulu!"
Lulu seemed to be lost in thought for a moment, then called out excitedly.
The familiar was green!
Qiao Sang looked at Lulu.
Lulu's usually deep eyes blinked at Qiao Sang.
After a few seconds of mutual gaze, Qiao Sang couldn't help but say, "Go on."
"Lu?"
Lulu looked puzzled.
Go on with what?
Qiao Sang was momentarily confused, staring at Lulu in bewilderment. After a few seconds, she tentatively asked, "You want to go to a place with a tree, a house, and a green, long-bodied familiar, and that's it?"
"Lu."
Lulu nodded.
Qiao Sang: "..."
With just these few descriptions, it would be a miracle to find the place in any region!
...
The next morning, after finishing her breakfast, Qiao Sang was about to put her books in her backpack when she suddenly remembered it was Saturday.
Good grief, she was so focused on the competition that she forgot what day it was...
At that moment, her mobile phone rang. The caller ID showed: Mom.
Qiao Sang answered the call.
"Have you had breakfast?" her mother's voice came through the phone.
"Yes", Qiao Sang replied.
Ye Xiangting said gently, "The shop has been busy these past few days, so I haven't had much time. I mentioned a house yesterday. Go check it out. If you like it, just buy it and put your name on it."
Yesterday, during dinner, her mother had told her about the location and the name of the residential complex she had her eye on.
"I understand."
Qiao Sang hung up, opened the map, and searched for "Qinglu Manor."
It was about 27 kilometers from her current rental place.
Qiao Sang wondered if the Spatial Shift skill, once mastered, could transport her 27 kilometers in one go. She glanced at Treasure Seeker.
"Seek~"
Treasure Seeker blinked.
Qiao Sang turned away, took off her school uniform, and changed into casual clothes, then put on a cap.
Treasure Seeker, realizing they were going out, floated up to Qiao Sang's head on its own.
"Seek..."
Treasure Seeker wriggled around on the cap for a while before finding a comfortable spot.
Qiao Sang finished getting ready and bent down to pick up Fangy.
"Ya!"
But Fangy took a step back, barking excitedly to indicate a moment.
"Ya Ya!"
Then he barked at Treasure Seeker.
"Xunxun~"
Hearing his big brother's command, Treasure Seeker immediately took off the ring and skillfully pulled out all the sunglasses from it.
Using psychic power, Treasure Seeker levitated all the sunglasses in front of Fangy.
"Ya!"
Fangy looked at each pair, then his gaze settled on the red triangular sunglasses he used to wear most often.
A force gently placed the sunglasses on Fangy's face.
Fangy then ran to the full-length mirror to check himself out.
"Ya Ya!"
After examining himself from all angles, Fangy ran to Qiao Sang, wagging his tail and barking to indicate they could go.
Qiao Sang: "..."
...
Qiao Sang called a taxi to Qinglu Manor.
On the way, the driver kept glancing at her through the rearview mirror.
Being on the trending list twice made a difference; even with a cap, she was still recognized... Qiao Sang thought to herself.
At that moment, the driver spoke up, "Hey, little beauty, are you planning to become a coordinator? Two familiars, one with such cool sunglasses, and the other with those flashy gloves. You've got a pretty stylish look."
Qiao Sang: "..."
