"Di di."

As soon as Adinix emerged, its eyes were fixed on the food on the table.

"Would you like to eat?" Qiao Sang smiled warmly.

Adinix glanced at the human in front of it, then at the food on the table. Unable to resist the temptation, it nodded.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang felt a surge of joy and seized the opportunity to say, "I hope you can help predict the next Evolution location for Fangy and the others. Is that possible?"

"Xun xun!"

Before Adinix could respond, the Treasure Seeker grew anxious and quickly floated forward, calling out to remind Adinix that it had already promised to consider it.

Convincing Adinix through its Beastmaster was a completely different matter from convincing it directly.

If Adinix was persuaded by its Beastmaster, its own efforts would be overlooked. Fangy and the others wouldn't think of its hard work when they heard the flute melody, and how could it maintain its leadership then?

It would never allow such a thing to happen!

"Xun xun!"

The Treasure Seeker looked at Adinix with an expression that said, "Say something."

"Di di..."

Adinix looked at the Treasure Seeker, recalling how it had finished all the food in its Ring. It felt a twinge of guilt and nodded, confirming that it had indeed agreed to consider it.

The Treasure Seeker sighed in relief.

Fortunately, Adinix was reliable, and its efforts had not been in vain.

Qiao Sang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled. "That's great. What do you think about it?"

Adinix seemed quite approachable and had voluntarily entered the Treasure Seeker's Ring twice, even helping to drive away a wave of wild beast companions. It appeared to have no hostility toward her and had a good relationship with the Treasure Seeker. Asking it to play the flute to help predict should not be a problem.

The thought of Adinix agreeing made Qiao Sang's heart race.

Apart from the Treasure Seeker, Fangy, Lulu, and Steel Treasure desperately needed this prediction.

"Di di."

Upon hearing this, Adinix's gaze shifted to the food on the table. It swallowed, its eyes flashing with a glint of intelligence. It sighed and shook its head, indicating that it wanted to help but couldn't.

Qiao Sang didn't understand its language, but the shaking head was clear to anyone.

Her heart sank, but she still looked at the Treasure Seeker with a glimmer of hope. "Translate it."

"Xun xun."

The Treasure Seeker hesitated for a moment before starting to translate.

"Xun xun?"

After the translation, it growled at Adinix, asking why.

This was exactly what Qiao Sang wanted to know.

She looked at Adinix, asking with her eyes.

"Di di."

Adinix wore an expression of helplessness.

It's not that it didn't want to predict; it had already done so once before and needed some time before it could do it again.

"Xun xun."

The Treasure Seeker sighed in relief and translated the message.

Although it couldn't predict immediately, it wasn't a big problem. As long as it was willing to predict, the Treasure Seeker would be the greatest contributor, and Fangy would still step down from the leadership.

Qiao Sang thought for a few seconds and asked, "When can you predict? How long do we need to wait before you can predict again?"

After a pause, she asked more cautiously:

"Would you be willing to stay here until you can predict again?"

This was exactly what Adinix had been waiting for. It "di di"ed twice, answering the first two questions.

When it came to the last question, it looked hesitant, sighed, and then nodded as if in reluctant agreement.

"Di di."

It was possible, but it required full catering during the stay.

This time, the Treasure Seeker did not translate immediately but looked at Adinix with a puzzled expression.

"Xun xun?"

What? It had helped with the prediction the last time?

"Di di."

Adinix nodded.

"Xun xun..."

The Treasure Seeker fell into a moment of reflection.

It seemed that, indeed, it had seen a different scene when it heard Adinix's flute last time...

So, that was the location for its next Evolution?

"Adinix has already helped you predict?" Qiao Sang understood Treasure Seeker's question and, seeing Adinix nod, her eyes lit up with a reasonable guess.

"Xunxun..."

Treasure Seeker looked at its Beastmaster and nodded.

Qiao Sang's face lit up with joy, and she immediately asked, "Did you see the place for your next Evolution?"

"Xunxun..."

Treasure Seeker hesitated for a moment before nodding.

It turned out that Adinix had already helped Treasure Seeker with the prediction. This was good, even though Treasure Seeker's Evolution form and path weren't as unknown as Fangy's or Steel Treasure's, and its Evolution wasn't as challenging as Lulu's. Knowing the location for Evolution was better than not knowing at all... Asking Treasure Seeker to describe the place for its Evolution would be impossible, so she needed to find a familiar that could materialize mental images as soon as possible, to avoid the risk of Treasure Seeker forgetting the location...

Various thoughts swirled in Qiao Sang's mind, making her fall silent for a moment.

"Di di."

Seeing the human not speaking, Adinix couldn't help but poke Treasure Seeker with its Flute, calling out softly to remind it to translate the next two sentences.

"Xunxun."

"Xunxun."

Treasure Seeker translated instinctively, remembering that the creature beside it was crucial for its leadership.

"Of course, all meals are included during this time!" Qiao Sang perked up after hearing the translation, immediately agreeing without a second thought.

A Phantom Beast!

This was a Phantom Beast!

If it was willing to stay and help predict the Evolution locations, covering its meals for a while was no big deal!

Even if it meant covering its meals for a lifetime... well, her Unlimited Credit Card was almost expired, so that might not be possible...

Qiao Sang quickly sobered up.

"Di di."

Hearing this, Adinix instantly teleported to the table, its eyes curving into crescents as it happily started eating.

Qiao Sang watched Adinix eat, remembering the other sentence Treasure Seeker had translated—about needing a few days to a few months to predict again—and fell into deep thought.

She hoped Adinix could finish predicting the locations for Fangy and the others before she returned to Blue Star...

"Xunxun..."

Treasure Seeker watched Adinix stuff its mouth with food, hesitating to speak. It felt that predicting with the Flute was effortless for Adinix, but it had no proof...

After instructing Treasure Seeker to take care of Adinix, Qiao Sang returned to her room, sat at her desk, and turned on her computer. She logged into Yulinton University's website to search for a familiar that could materialize mental images.

She had just entered her requirements when her mobile phone started vibrating repeatedly.

Qiao Sang picked it up and saw that Maral had sent her several messages.

[#Midnight Horror! Zone Thirty Airport Suffers Destruction!]

[#Airport Barrier Shattered, Wild Beast Companions Rampage!]

[#Shocking! Zone Thirty Airport Faces Crisis, Mysterious Flute Melody Resolves the Situation!]

[#Zone Thirty Airport Witnessed a King-Level Familiar: Grass Candle Specter!]

[#Beastmaster Star Tournament Champion Qiao Sang Suspected to Appear at Zone Thirty Airport!]

[#Zone Thirty Airport: 11 Injured, No Fatalities!]

[#Zone Thirty Airport: King-Level Familiar Grass Candle Specter Sings the Curse Song!]

Qiao Sang, are you okay? Did you come back? I was scared to death when I saw those news reports!

The news really spreads fast... Qiao Sang resisted the urge to click on the news and typed her reply:

I'm back, I'm fine.

Maral replied instantly:

That's good. Were you at the airport then? I saw in the news that the Grass Candle Specter's Curse affected everyone present. Did you hear its song?

Curse? After the Barrier broke again, it must have been the effect of the Curse... Recalling the scene, Qiao Sang's heart sank. Suddenly, she wasn't so sure anymore.

While on the plane before takeoff, she had looked it up online, but there was no specific information about the Grass Candle Specter's Curse.

Later, she thought that the Barrier breaking right after the Grass Candle Specter's Curse couldn't have been a coincidence, so she assumed it was the result of the Curse.

Now, she wondered if she had been too hasty in her conclusion...

Qiao Sang typed to confirm:

What are the effects of the Grass Candle Specter's Curse?

If it can't be found online, a high-achieving student from the Beastmaster Alliance should know...

This time, Maral didn't reply instantly.

After nearly a minute, the message came through:

I asked around. The Grass Candle Specter's Curse usually causes disabilities, but it's not fatal. It might cause blindness, deafness, or damage to the limbs or organs at some unknown point.

That's terrifying... Qiao Sang felt a chill down her spine and quickly typed:

How long does it take to take effect? Is there a specific timeframe or number of occurrences?

Maral replied quickly:

It seems you were indeed there. The specific timeframe and number of occurrences are unclear. It probably depends on the level of the Curse. Our school has several teachers who can Purify Curses. You can find them.

Qiao Sang's eyes lit up at this.

Indeed, finding a Beastmaster who can Purify Curses elsewhere would be difficult, but at Yulinton University, there would definitely be one.

Sending a message and waiting for a response would take too long. Qiao Sang quickly thought of someone.

She quickly scrolled through her contacts, found Dean Liz's number, and sent a message:

Dean Liz, can you introduce me to a teacher who can Purify Curses?

Dean Liz didn't reply immediately.

Qiao Sang resisted the urge to call. As the Dean of the Medical College, it was normal to be busy and not always available.

Her phone vibrated.

Maral had sent another message:

The Coordination Contest is only four days away. Don't forget our agreement!

Qiao Sang replied: Don't worry, I haven't forgotten.

Maral sent a string of "love you" emojis.

Qiao Sang put down her phone and continued editing her requirements for renting a familiar.

At that moment, her phone vibrated again.

Qiao Sang looked down to see a message from Dean Liz:

I can Purify Curses. What's up? Are you cursed?

Qiao Sang quickly sent a "crying" emoji and typed:

Yes, I was cursed by the Grass Candle Specter. Please help me!

Send me your location. Dean Liz replied instantly.

Qiao Sang immediately sent her location.

Wait for me. Dean Liz replied.

Qiao Sang stared at these two words, feeling a sudden sense of relief.

If the Dean of Yulandon Medical College was coming to remove the Curse, what did she have to be afraid of?

But in the next second, she thought of something and quickly stood up, rushing to the living room. She looked at Adinix, who was still eating, and said urgently:

"Get back into the Treasure Seeker's Ring. Someone is coming soon."

She couldn't risk the Phantom Beast's allure to a Beastmaster, even if it was the Dean of Yulandon Medical College.

"Di, ge~"

Upon hearing this, Adinix didn’t even look up, continuing to shovel food into his mouth.

"Xunxun~"

Treasure Seeker was eating alongside him, with Synchronization translating.

It didn’t matter if someone came; it had ways to make itself invisible.

Qiao Sang paused for a moment. "You mean the Skills that were Revealed right away in the cave?"

Adinix: “……”

Suddenly, the food in Adinix’s mouth didn’t taste as good.

"Di di……"

He swallowed the food in his mouth, pointed to the remaining food on the table, and then pointed to Treasure Seeker’s Ring.

"Xunxun……"

Treasure Seeker took a deep breath, a look of endurance on its face, and then placed the food on the table into the Ring one by one.

When Adinix was about to go in, the Ring slowly enlarged.

Treasure Seeker pushed it inside with some effort.

"Xunxun……"

After doing all this, Treasure Seeker looked exhausted.

Qiao Sang, seeing this, comforted, "You’ve worked hard."

"Xunxun……"

Treasure Seeker sighed. It was indeed quite tiring.

It had thought that upon returning, it would become the boss, but now it seemed that this flute-playing guy was going to stay for a while longer. Who knew how much more reserve food it would have to provide him with…

Qiao Sang, seeing Treasure Seeker’s expression, was about to say a few more words.

At that moment, the doorbell rang.

Qiao Sang went to the door and found Dean Liz standing outside.

She wasn’t particularly surprised. People at the Dean level were usually either transported in Beast Cars with great fanfare or teleported by their Psionic Familiars.

Dean Liz was wearing a white lab coat, and beside him stood a cat-like familiar, about two meters tall, also in a white lab coat, with fur that was nearly green.

Qiao Sang began, "You came just in time…"

Dean Liz interrupted, "Purify."

The cat-like familiar, without a word, swung its tail forward, placing it on Qiao Sang’s hand.

Instantly, a gentle white light shone.

Qiao Sang felt a warm strength flow from her hand into her body, as if cleansing everything within.

All negative states seemed to vanish.

She had a feeling that something inside her had been cleared away.

When the white light dissipated, Qiao Sang, full of gratitude, began, "Thank you so much…"

Dean Liz interrupted again, "We can go now."

The cat-like familiar’s eyes glowed blue.

In the next second, it disappeared with Dean Liz.

"Thank you…" Qiao Sang looked at the empty doorway, her lips twitching slightly.

Her mobile phone vibrated.

Qiao Sang picked it up and saw a message from Dean Liz:

【The Curse should be lifted. I have some urgent matters to attend to, so I need to go back. Since you’re back, I’ll send you the list of Terminal Patients I reserved for you later.】

To think he was so busy but still took the time to help me Purify… Qiao Sang felt a surge of gratitude and replied:

【Okay.】

At that moment, a voice tinged with surprise sounded from ahead:

"When did you get back?"

Qiao Sang looked up to see Vice Principal Liu Yao, and she immediately smiled.

"Just now."

Liu Yao stepped in and asked casually, "How was your trip? Did you find the Phantom Beast you were looking for?"

Qiao Sang closed the door and said, "I found it."

Liu Yao: “???”

"You found it?" Liu Yao stopped taking off her shoes and turned to stare at Qiao Sang, her eyes filled with disbelief.

It was supposed to be a Phantom Beast, right?

She had only been gone for a few days.

And she found it?

Qiao Sang nodded and turned to Treasure Seeker, saying, "Adinix can come out now."

What did that mean… Liu Yao was taken aback, her mind struggling to process the information.
