Chapter 502: Ganggang
Chapter 502: Ganggang
Fangy: “......”
So weak...
Tang Yi turned his head away silently, unable to bear the sight.
He was certain that Sage had never watched Blazing Star Hound’s matches; otherwise, how could it dare to challenge it?
Yang Jiayi felt utterly exhausted.
Sage had been causing trouble for Blazing Star Hound for the past month, and she knew why—it was jealousy.
After all, this had happened before.
But knowing the reason didn’t mean she could find a solution immediately.
At first, it wasn’t too bad. Whenever Sage found Blazing Star Hound, it either got hit by Icechill’s Healing Waves or was hypnotized by Ghost Ring Specter, like now.
Admittedly, these two moves could resolve the immediate conflict, but every time Sage woke up, it felt humiliated and even angrier, leading to the current situation, which left her at a loss.
"Once we reach District Three, we should find a Familiar Trainer", Officer Chen suggested, having already been briefed on the situation on the starship.
High-level Familiar Trainers not only provide correct guidance for a familiar’s future development but can also smooth out a familiar’s psychological issues, helping to resolve problems between the Beastmaster and their familiar, or between the familiars themselves.
"Alright", Yang Jiayi nodded.
That was the only solution.
"It doesn’t have to be so complicated", Qiao Sang said.
The three of them immediately turned their attention to him.
Yang Jiayi asked eagerly, "You have a solution?"
Qiao Sang nodded slightly and said, "Arrange a battle for them. At the end of the day, Sage just wants to fight Fangy. Let it have its way."
Officer Chen thought about it and agreed, "That’s a good idea."
Battles between familiars of different Beastmasters are quite common. Sometimes, they just run into each other and decide to have a quick fight on a whim.
Yang Jiayi: “???”
Can you really call it a battle when it’s against Blazing Star Hound? It’s more like a thrashing!
She was the champion of the Senior Division, but that was in the Coordination Competition. How could it compare to the combat power of the national Senior Division Individual Combat Team champion?
Yang Jiayi declined politely, "I think I’ll still find a Familiar Trainer. Sage is quite stubborn. Even if it loses, it will probably keep bothering Blazing Star Hound."
That’s fine, it just means more Points for me... Qiao Sang said seriously, "Finding a Familiar Trainer will cost a lot of money. Sage is only acting this way because of Fangy. It hasn’t done anything wrong; it just wants to fight. A daily battle is fine. My Fangy can handle it."
"Fangy"
Fangy, hearing its Beastmaster’s words, looked thoughtful.
Although that guy looks weak, if it really wants to fight, I can give it a chance.
Tang Yi looked envious.
If he could spar with someone of Qiao Sang’s caliber every day, that would be amazing...
Daily battles?! That sounds terrifying, absolutely terrifying... Yang Jiayi turned to Tang Yi, hoping he would say something.
But as their eyes met, she froze.
What kind of look is that?
...
About ten minutes later, the train arrived at Baidun Station.
Under Officer Chen’s lead, the four of them headed to the Yuanxin Hotel.
The front desk staff handed them their room keys and reminded them:
"If anything strange happens in your room, call the front desk immediately, and we’ll send someone up right away."
Strange things? What strange things? Qiao Sang conveyed her confusion with a look.
At this moment, Tang Yi spoke for her, "What strange things?"
Yang Jiayi looked at the front desk, her eyes equally curious.
The staff member was taken aback, seemingly not expecting such a question.
But she quickly regained her composure, her smile returning to the standard curve. "Things like the TV turning on by itself, channels changing mysteriously, or food disappearing halfway through."
How much like something a Treasure Seeker would do... Qiao Sang turned to look at the Treasure Seeker.
"Seek~"
The Treasure Seeker innocently blinked her eyes.
The staff member continued, "This happens because some wild familiars get lost and wander into this area. However, you don't need to worry; the wild familiars in this jurisdiction are generally friendly and won't harm anyone."
At that moment, two guests grumbled as they entered the hotel:
"The wild familiars on this street are really over the top. They even tried to steal my ID Bracelet. If it weren't for my Qiqi Bird's quick reaction, it would have been gone by now."
"Tell me about it. I wonder who's in charge of security in Sector 13. Familiars like these should be sent to the lower sectors."
"Yesterday, I was taking a shower in this hotel when a wild Mud Bug emerged from the toilet. It didn't just appear; it rolled around on my towel right in front of me. If it weren't for the airport being nearby, who would stay here?"
"Exactly, exactly..."
The two guests continued their conversation as they walked toward the elevator, their voices gradually fading away.
The front desk area fell into a brief silence.
The staff member cleared her throat and corrected herself, "Most of the wild familiars in this jurisdiction are generally friendly."
Everyone: "..."
...
Yuanxin Hotel, Room 302.
Qiao Sang sat at the table, reading a book.
Suddenly, her head began to ache.
Qiao Sang rubbed her temples, trying to alleviate the pain.
After rubbing for a while, she turned to look at the sleeping Yang Jiayi, then at the night sky outside the window, feeling a wave of fatigue wash over her.
Qiao Sang closed the book, turned off the light, and then lay down on the bed.
On the Supernest, things were different from a starship. On a starship, before encountering a star, the cabin outside was mostly pitch black. If the lights were turned off, it would be completely dark, almost like being blind, making it impossible to tell the time or even find a mobile phone. Therefore, even while sleeping, the Living Quarters would usually have a warm, soft light left on.
Now, on the Supernest, Qiao Sang and Yang Jiayi shared a double room, and it wasn't appropriate to keep a light on all night for reading, as it might disturb the other's sleep.
Yang Jiayi had such a good temper that even if she was affected, she probably wouldn't say anything.
In a daze, Qiao Sang drifted off to sleep.
In the night, a small bird familiar with red eyes and purple feathers, resembling a suit of armor except for the fluffy feathers on its chest, perched outside the window of Room 302.
Its sharp eyes stared at Fangy, who was sleeping on the bed, then focused on the ID Bracelet on her right wrist.
The purple bird familiar cautiously surveyed the room, ensuring that the only two humans were sound asleep. It then gently pushed open the window with its wings, its movements so delicate that it made no sound, as if it had done this countless times before.
Inside the room, Qiao Sang slept deeply.
Anyone who hadn't slept for over a month would be in the same state.
Even an earthquake wouldn't rouse her immediately.
The purple bird familiar flew to Fangy's side and extended its wing toward the ID Bracelet.
Just as it was about to touch it, it felt two pokes on its back.
The purple bird familiar's body trembled, and it stiffly turned its head to see a pair of purple eyes.
"Ganggang..."
