Chapter 414: What the Heck?!
Chapter 414: What the Heck?!
Knock knock!
At that moment, a knock sounded at the door.
Qiao Sang was about to get out of bed, but Lulu couldn't wait and hurriedly walked over, extending a paw to open the door.
"Feifei!"
The moment the door opened, Jade Python eagerly pounced over.
Lulu instinctively sidestepped.
"Feifei!"
Jade Python missed and stumbled, then turned, grinning, and lightly flicked its tail against Lulu. It chirped, indicating that it was great, everything was the same, and nothing had changed.
"Icechill!"
Lulu immediately became annoyed. It puffed out its chest and chirped, as if to say, "Didn't you see how strong I've become?"
"Fangy"
Fangy stared at Jade Python for a moment, but found no desire to fight and lost interest, turning away.
"Seeker..."
Treasure Seeker, in the corner of the room, continued to wallow in its emo state.
Lulu seems to have a lot more expressions after its Evolution... Qiao Sang mused, then looked toward the door, noticing that Uncle Pei hadn't entered but was instead taking a photo of the door with his mobile phone.
What is he doing?
Qiao Sang's expression showed a moment of surprise.
Pei Shipan uploaded the photo to his social media feed, adding the caption:
[Door, opened by Icechill for me]
"Uncle Pei", Qiao Sang called out as she got out of bed.
Pei Shipan put down his mobile phone and took a step to the side, revealing a woman in a beige mid-length coat standing behind him.
"She is Jade Python's Beastmaster", Pei Shipan introduced.
"Hello, I'm Wei Ying", Wei Ying said.
"Hello, Sister", Qiao Sang smiled.
Sister... Wei Ying was initially slightly taken aback, then couldn't help but smile. Although she was considerably older than Pei Shipan, she looked a few years older than him. Being called "Sister" by someone who called Pei Shipan "Uncle" made her inexplicably happy.
The two of them sat down on the sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window.
Wei Ying looked at Qiao Sang and said earnestly, "Thank you for getting Jade Python out of the Familiar Transformation Facility early."
Her tone was very sincere.
A 15-year-old with three familiars, two of which were High-Class Beast Companions, and all the buffs combined made it impossible for her to treat Qiao Sang as just a lucky kid who bonded with Aquariana.
"I don't have that kind of ability", Qiao Sang quickly said. "It was all arranged by Uncle Pei."
Pei Shipan interjected, "You had the idea, otherwise I wouldn't have done it."
It seems like all the credit is being given to me... Qiao Sang placed the prepared potions and artifacts on the glass coffee table, changing the subject:
"This is a Grass Stone and an Energy Vitality Enhancer. Using them should help Jade Python complete its Evolution in a short time."
On her way back to the hotel, Qiao Sang had looked up the green snake familiar and found out it was a Jade Python. She then searched through the items in Treasure Seeker's Ring, selecting the most suitable ones she had bought from the Artifact Store and Potion Shop for Jade Python.
Qiao Sang didn't mention that the Grass Stone was A-Class and the Energy Vitality Enhancer was S-Class.
Pei Shipan glanced at the Grass Stone and Energy Vitality Enhancer on the table, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Although he wasn't an expert in artifacts or potions, he had used many high-quality items before and could tell that these two items were of exceptional quality, though he couldn't determine their exact levels.
"I can't accept these", Wei Ying pushed the items back, refusing. "I believe that whoever from the Ancient Fog Region encountered Aquariana would have helped it. You don't need to give me these."
"If that were true, Lulu wouldn't have wanted to run to another region", Qiao Sang said.
When a group of people encounters an endangered familiar, they treat it like a treasure. But when only one person encounters a nearly extinct familiar, it's hard not to have ulterior motives.
"I still can't accept them." Wei Ying furrowed her brow slightly, once again refusing with a sense of righteousness.
Her initial help to Aquariana was pure and voluntary. Accepting these items would change the nature of everything.
Qiao Sang sighed in helplessness, "That's really a pity. I truly believe that the A-Class Grass Stone and S-Class Energy Vitality Enhancer would be perfect for Jade Python."
Wei Ying: "!!!"
Pei Shipan: "!!!"
"I haven't finished what I wanted to say!" Wei Ying suddenly placed her hand on the Grass Stone and Energy Vitality Enhancer.
Qiao Sang was taken aback, "Go on, say it."
Wei Ying said earnestly, "But since you chose these specifically for Jade Python, I can't let your kindness go to waste."
This sudden change of heart seemed so familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before... Qiao Sang smiled.
"That's great. I really appreciate your and Jade Python's help. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have met Lulu."
"Icechill."
Lulu, hearing this, came over and nudged her Beastmaster with her head.
I wish I could be Qiao Sang... Pei Shipan couldn't help but feel envious.
"Can I pet Icechill?" Wei Ying asked nervously.
"Lulu?" Qiao Sang looked at Lulu.
"Icechill."
Lulu glanced at the slightly familiar human, recognizing her as Jade Python's Beastmaster. After a moment, she moved her head closer.
Pei Shipan: "!!!"
Wei Ying's eyes welled up with tears.
To be honest, she wasn't this excited even when she heard about the Grass Stone and Energy Vitality Enhancer.
Trembling, Wei Ying placed her hand on Lulu's body.
It's worth it, this life is worth it...
After Wei Ying finished petting Lulu, Pei Shipan couldn't help but ask, "Can I pet her too?"
Lulu glanced at him, then wagged her tail and turned to walk towards Jade Python, clearly indicating her stance.
Qiao Sang gave him a sympathetic look.
Pei Shipan: "…"
…
It wasn't until evening that the two of them left.
Before they went, Qiao Sang added Wei Ying as a friend and took a photo of Lulu and Jade Python together.
"Ya Ya!"
"Icechill!"
The moment the door closed, Fangy and Lulu faced each other, both filled with a fighting spirit.
"It's very late. If you fight now, you won't get enough rest for tomorrow's match." Qiao Sang advised.
"Fangy"
"Icechill…"
Fangy and Lulu found his reasoning sound. They called out to each other and agreed to battle the next day.
Qiao Sang: "…"
What time is my match tomorrow…? Qiao Sang prepared to check the match schedule for the next day.
The Regional Tournament was divided into morning, afternoon, and evening sessions. Each person's specific match time would be announced at 6 PM the day before.
As Qiao Sang reached for his mobile phone to check the match time, his fingers paused as he touched the screen.
There were 99+ messages on the screen.
So many messages… Qiao Sang opened his messaging app.
Nearly half of the hundred or so messages were from Xu Yixuan.
Opening the chat, he saw:
【Have you seen it yet?】
【Quick, check it out!】
【Don't bother searching, I'll send you a screenshot!】
【Image】
【Did you see it?】
Qiao Sang opened the image and saw a screenshot of the trending topics in the Ancient Fog Region. At a glance, almost all of them were about Lulu:
【Glacialia is a Masochist?!】
【Icechill!】
【Glacialia's Evolution!】
【Icechill and the Frostflower Seal!】
【Icechill, Beautiful!】
【Glacialia's Evolution Conditions】
【Why Did Glacialia Evolve?】
【Icechill's Beastmaster, Qiao Sang】
Qiao Sang's expression froze as he saw the top trending topic.
Masochist?!
What the hell?!
This top trending topic that defamed Lulu's reputation was simply intolerable!
Qiao Sang ignored the other messages and immediately opened the trending topics to see what was going on.
