Chapter 494: Supernest
Chapter 494: Supernest
As the plane's cabin door opened, Qiao Sang, wrapped in a down jacket and sporting dark circles under her eyes, stepped out with unsteady feet.
She inhaled the crisp, cold air, feeling her mind clear a bit.
Pulling an all-nighter is definitely not for humans... Qiao Sang thought to herself.
Liu Yao followed, and upon seeing Qiao Sang's appearance, he recalled her reading through the night. His heart softened, and he spoke in a gentle tone:
"Go back and get a good sleep. Don't go to school today; I'll call in sick for you."
Call in sick? The College Entrance Exam is only a few months away. How can she afford to take a day off? Qiao Sang's weak voice was tinged with determination: "No need to call in sick. I'm not the type who needs to take a day off after one night without sleep."
Liu Yao: "???"
Liu Yao was stunned. Was everyone who called him every few days to ask for a sick day just messing with him?
Under Liu Yao's bewildered gaze, Qiao Sang walked down the jet bridge to a secluded area away from the passengers. She formed the hand seals and summoned Lulu.
Before Qiao Sang could say anything, Lulu, seeing her Beastmaster's condition, immediately understood and cast a Healing Light without a word.
The scene drew curious glances from the passengers who had just disembarked.
When the blue light dissipated, Qiao Sang was revitalized, with no trace of dark circles under her eyes.
Just one all-nighter, and she uses an Advanced Skill like Healing Light... Liu Yao took a deep breath to calm himself.
He averted his gaze, afraid that his heart couldn't take any more.
...
Holy Water High School.
The school gates were already swarming with reporters and paparazzi.
Several reporters were gathered outside the security office.
"Is Qiao Sang returning today? The cheerleading team and Coach Sun came back yesterday afternoon, but why didn't Qiao Sang return with them?"
"Is Qiao Sang's class teacher in the school? Can I interview him?"
"The chairman of Tengcheng Group has offered to sponsor your school five million. Have you received the news?"
"Everyone knows that even during holidays, the school team members still have to train. Winter break is coming up. Will Qiao Sang still need to come to school for training?"
"Rumor has it that Qiao Sang has secured a spot as an interstellar exchange student. Which planet and school will she be attending?"
Look at what you're asking. How would a security guard know all that... The security guard in the office remained silent.
The crowd grew larger, with more and more people, including office workers and elderly residents on their way to buy groceries, gathering around.
Some passersby who were unaware of the situation asked, "What's going on here? Why are there so many reporters?"
A helpful elderly woman replied, "I heard Holy Water High School has a national champion."
"Champion?" The passerby was surprised. "What kind of champion? Is it worth so many reporters?"
"Apparently, it's the National School Beastmaster League champion", the woman explained.
"Ah, a Beastmaster. That makes sense", the passerby said, nodding in understanding.
Indeed, what other kind of champion would draw so much media attention?
From a taxi parked a street away, Qiao Sang watched the scene at Holy Water High School's entrance through the window, her heart trembling.
If she goes there now, she'll be torn to pieces...
"Aren't you getting out?" the driver, who had already been paid, asked.
"Just a moment", Liu Yao replied, then formed the hand seals.
Qiao Sang immediately understood the vice principal's intention. He was preparing to summon Professor Xian.
How could a teacher be expected to do this... Qiao Sang immediately stopped them. "No, I'll do it."
She then turned her head and called out to the air, "Treasure Seeker."
"Seek~"
Liu Yao froze, then everything went dark before his eyes.
Liu Yao: "!!"
Driver Big Brother: "!!"
Treasure Seeker was no longer the same Treasure Seeker. After all the hard training, it had now mastered the precise control of coordinates.
The moment the world reassembled before Qiao Sang's eyes, she found herself standing in front of the nearest teaching building to the school gate.
Around her, students in school uniforms were holding what looked like party poppers, chatting intermittently while keeping an eye on the school gate.
"Qiao Sang doesn't live on campus, and she just got off the plane. Will she really come?"
"Of course she will. Otherwise, would the school let us skip Morning Study to prepare this surprise?"
"That makes sense, but I see reporters outside the school gate. Could she be stuck outside?"
"Probably not. Her Ghost Ring has a Spatial Shift, and the Vice Principal is with her."
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker nodded, indicating that she was right.
Suddenly, the surroundings fell silent.
Someone shouted, "Ah! Qiao Sang! And the Ghost Ring!"
In the next second, everyone turned their heads.
Then, the students erupted into excitement, each one looking as if they had just seen their favorite idol.
Qiao Sang felt herself instantly surrounded by a sea of people, and then she was lifted and thrown into the air.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The students fired their party poppers, and ribbons and paper flowers floated in the air.
"Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!"
"Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!"
The enthusiastic atmosphere permeated the sky above Holy Water High School.
Qiao Sang looked at the sky, which seemed to be both far and near, and then turned to see the young, vibrant faces of the students. Her heart raced, and a warm, surging feeling welled up inside her.
This was a youth she had never experienced in her previous life.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Liu Yao, looking disheveled, felt his large belly being flattened. "Don't push! Don't push!"
"Where's the teacher! Where's the Principal! Who's in charge here!"
...
An hour later.
In the Principal's office.
"Reporters from Yuhua Daily, Yuhua TV, and Yuhua Beastmaster News want to interview you. Do you want to meet them?" Wang Weidou asked.
Actually, many media outlets wanted to interview Qiao Sang, but these three were the most authoritative TV media in the Yuhua Region.
"No." Qiao Sang shook her head.
In the past, she might have considered more interviews to promote her family's Familiar Breeding Shop. But now, having seen the outside world, she had a clearer understanding of the costs involved in breeding familiars. She realized that she couldn't rely solely on the shop for resources in the future.
Her focus was now on preparing for the College Entrance Exam and getting into the top academy in Hollow Plains as soon as possible, where she could develop further.
"Alright, I'll turn them down for you." Wang Weidou said without hesitation.
Authoritative TV media meant nothing; Qiao Sang was his precious gem, and he wouldn't let her do anything she didn't want to.
"By the way, I called you here mainly to have you fill out the Exchange Student Application Form." Wang Weidou placed a form in front of Qiao Sang and smiled. "The Interstellar Exchange Student slots have been announced, and your name is on the list."
He then handed her a pen.
Qiao Sang took the pen, unscrewed the cap, and examined the form.
She soon froze. "Supernest?"
