Chapter 837: Return to Blue Star
Chapter 837: Return to Blue Star (Combined)
One month later.
Blue Star.
Yuhua Region.
Starport.
Qiao Sang put on a pure black down jacket, wrapped a scarf around her neck, and carried Fangy and Liu Yao as she walked down the starship.
As soon as she stepped outside, she felt a strong cold wind howling towards her.
This weather is so unfamiliar... Qiao Sang couldn't help but hold Fangy a bit tighter.
Liu Yao dragged a suitcase with one hand and held a mobile phone in the other, glancing at the information on the screen, he said:
"I won't be able to see you home. There are a lot of things I need to catch up on at the research institute during this period."
"Do you need me to come over?" Qiao Sang asked.
She remembered that the Vice Principal's primary research focus was now on Fangy's new Evolution Chain.
"No need", Liu Yao smiled. "I've already recorded all the necessary data while we were at the Supernest."
A lot of the equipment was at the research institute on Blue Star.
According to the original plan, they were supposed to return to Blue Star and have Fangy undergo a comprehensive examination at the research institute.
However, during their time at the Supernest, Qiao Sang's reputation was unexpectedly significant. Many people, upon learning of his relationship with Qiao Sang, offered various equipment and assistance, allowing him to complete the examination smoothly at the Supernest.
Liu Yao paused and continued:
"Besides, I'm planning to visit the place where Adinixprediction occurs. I want to see what might happen there."
Qiao Sang hesitated and said:
"The place of Adinixprediction is indeed a significant change point, but I've heard that it doesn't always manifest immediately. Some people have waited for years at the Prediction site before their familiars truly evolved."
"It's fine. I just want to take a look first", Liu Yao said with a slightly wistful tone. "Only by seeing that place will I feel a real connection to Adinix."
Indeed, if it weren't for the collective Prediction dream, those days spent with Adinix would have felt like a dream... Qiao Sang mused internally.
"Let's not talk about this anymore", Liu Yao seemed to remember something and glanced at Fangy, then said seriously: "When Flame Kiru evolves again, make sure to notify me immediately."
Fangy's evolution? It's still a long way off... Qiao Sang nodded. "Don't worry, I'll let you know right away."
"Fangy has enough Energy Pills to last for a month. If they run out, you can follow the recipe to make more", Liu Yao reminded her. "Fangy's progress is too fast. It's best to reconfigure the Energy Pills for the initial, middle, and final stages of each phase."
"Once you get to the Imperial Beastmaster Academy, there are many Familiar Trainers there who are more skilled than me. Find one and have them re-examine Fangy's condition. They should be able to create more suitable Energy Pills for Fangy."
Why does the Vice Principal's confidence waver when it comes to the Imperial Beastmaster Academy... Qiao Sang said earnestly, "The Energy Pills you made are already very popular with Fangy."
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy chirped in agreement.
Liu Yao was taken aback and laughed. "No, what I meant is that Fangy's progress is too fast. The Energy Pills I configured are suitable for their current stage, but in a few months, they might be in the middle stage. At that point, the Energy Pills' formula will need to be changed."
For a Champion-level familiar, the transition from the initial to the middle stage usually takes years.
If he hadn't witnessed Qiao Sang's extraordinary abilities, Liu Yao wouldn't have thought to remind her of this.
Misunderstood... Qiao Sang maintained her composure. "I understand."
She paused and then said:
"Vice Principal, why don't you come home with me for a meal first? My mother has prepared a lot of food and insisted that I bring you along."
"Thank your mother for her kindness", Liu Yao glanced at the new message on his mobile phone and declined. "But I really have something to do. Maybe another time, I'll definitely come."
After saying that, he looked at Qiao Sang and said warmly, "I'm leaving now. Contact me if anything comes up."
Seeing this, Qiao Sang didn't try to hold him back. She nodded and said, "Alright, Vice Principal, see you later."
"See you later." Liu Yao bid farewell and dragged his suitcase toward the underground parking lot.
Qiao Sang carried Fangy toward the exit.
On the way, she suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Steel Treasure, who was observing everything around him. She asked, "Are you used to the weather here?"
"Steel Slash."
Steel Treasure nodded.
Qiao Sang felt relieved.
At that moment, a mostly pink rabbit-like familiar, carrying a large black backpack, hopped forward.
"Wait for me! You're too fast!" A girl, carrying several bags, panted as she chased after the familiar.
"Jump jump!"
The rabbit-like familiar turned back with an unhappy expression, but didn't slow down.
The girl seemed to hear something and fell silent, continuing to chase in silence.
"Steel Slash..."
Steel Treasure watched this scene, feeling rather amazed.
While Steel Treasure was observing others, many people began to look at him.
A seven or eight-year-old boy ran over and politely asked, "Sister, is this your familiar?"
Qiao Sang nodded. "Yes."
"Can I take a photo with it? It looks so cool!" the boy said brightly.
Qiao Sang smiled. "Of course."
Just as Steel Treasure thought this human wanted to take a photo with Fangy, the boy came to his side, cautiously approached, and then shyly glanced at him before quickly turning away.
"Steel Slash..."
Steel Treasure looked puzzled.
So, this human was complimenting him?
"Click." The photo was taken, and Qiao Sang returned the mobile phone to the boy. "All done."
"Thank you, Sister!" The boy took back his mobile phone and happily ran to a nearby woman.
Steel Treasure fell into deep thought.
It seemed his appearance was quite popular in this place called Blue Star...
Exiting the Starport, Qiao Sang saw a variety of familiars she had never seen before, walking, flying, or being carried by humans.
"Steel Slash..."
Seeing the familiars being held by humans, Steel Treasure was once again amazed.
What a magical world...
Suddenly, an excited voice rang out nearby:
"Unified Slide!"
Qiao Sang followed the sound and, upon seeing the two familiar figures, her eyes lit up. She hugged Fangy and ran over, calling out happily:
"Mom! Unified Owl!"
"How did you get so thin? Was the food on the starship not good?" Ye Xiangting carefully examined her daughter, trying to hide her excitement but feeling quite concerned.
"Am I thin?" Qiao Sang asked, surprised.
During the month on the starship, she had eaten well and hadn't stayed up all night like she did when she first left. How could she be thin?
"Not only thin, but taller too", Ye Xiangting said with a smile.
Hearing this, Qiao Sang couldn't help but laugh.
She and her mother hadn't seen each other in a long time...
"Fangy's Evolution looks even cooler in real life", Ye Xiangting said, looking at Fangy with admiration.
During her time in Supernest, Qiao Sang had kept in touch with her mother regularly, updating her on her life and the Evolutions of Fangy and the others, even sending photos.
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy wagged his tail and proudly puffed out his chest.
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker couldn't resist emerging, showing its presence.
Ye Xiangting's attention was drawn to it.
She glanced at its claws and softly exclaimed, "Treasure Seeker, you're still so small even after Evolving. I thought it was just the photo that made it hard to see your size."
"Xunxun..."
A simple word made the normally lively Treasure Seeker instantly feel disheartened.
Qiao Sang coughed, changing the subject:
"Mom, this is Steel Treasure, the one I told you about."
Before Steel Treasure could greet her, Ye Xiangting's eyes lit up, and her tone was oddly proud:
"Of course I know. Yuhua Region, no, the entire Blue Star doesn't have a familiar like this. This is the first time I've seen a Supernest familiar."
She pulled out her mobile phone, opened the camera, and came over to take a photo with Steel Treasure.
Qiao Sang's mother, a Beastmaster, instinctively cooperated.
Ye Xiangting admired the photo, resisting the urge to post it on social media, and smiled:
"Let's go home. I bought a lot of food that familiars love. I know Fangy's preferences, but I'm not quite sure about Steel Treasure, so I got some food that Steel Familiars and Flying Beasts like. I'm sure there's something you'll enjoy."
As she spoke, she climbed onto the Unified Owl.
Just as Qiao Sang was about to climb onto the Unified Owl, Ye Xiangting remembered something:
"Where's Vice Principal Liu? Didn't he come back with you?"
Qiao Sang climbed onto the Unified Owl and replied:
"He had something to do and left early."
"You should have invited him over. He took care of you for so long in the Supernest."
"I did, but he really had something to do."
"Alright, next time then."
As they spoke, the Unified Owl flapped its wings.
Steel Treasure also flapped its wings, preparing to follow.
"Unified Slide."
The Unified Owl noticed Steel Treasure's movements, turned its head, and called out, indicating that it should come over. It was larger and faster.
"Steel Slash..."
Steel Treasure hesitated for a moment, then flew to the Unified Owl's back.
"Unified Slide!"
The Unified Owl flapped its wings forcefully, soaring into the sky.
"Steel Slash..."
Looking around at the unfamiliar surroundings, Steel Treasure realized it was now in a completely different place.
...
Qinglu Manor.
Building 17.
Living room.
Fangy and the others were happily eating energy food.
"I heard from Qiao Sang that you like Ore", Ye Xiangting said, bringing over a plate of black crystals and placing it in front of Steel Treasure. "Try this and see if you like it."
"Steel Slash..."
Steel Treasure picked up a piece and took a bite, then its body suddenly stiffened.
After a couple of seconds, it struggled to swallow and nodded.
It liked it.
"If you don't like it, just say so. Why nod?" Ye Xiangting took away the black crystal and brought over a plate of brown crystals. "Try this one and see if you like it."
"Steel Slash..."
Steel Treasure struggled to pick up a piece and put it in its mouth.
This time, its eyes lit up.
"I see, you like this one." Understanding Steel Treasure's preferences, Ye Xiangting got up and sat at the dining table.
"Mom, have you been busy lately?" Qiao Sang asked, taking a bite of food.
"Not too bad", Ye Xiangting replied. "The busiest time was when the Flame Listener's Evolution Path was announced. Things have calmed down a bit now, but everything is stable."
"The shop has enough staff, so I can take some time off to see you off to school."
As she spoke, she seemed to think of something, and her mood improved: "I never imagined I'd be going to the Imperial Beastmaster Academy, and as a parent, no less."
"By the way, since you're back, I plan to host a formal dinner and invite all the relatives. They've been talking about wanting to see you, the family's pride."
When she said "family's pride", Ye Xiangting couldn't help but smile.
Two years ago, let alone the Imperial Beastmaster Academy, she didn’t even dare to dream of a Top Academy.
No, to be more precise, she never even considered a Top Academy.
"Still, no thanks", Qiao Sang quickly declined. "I plan to leave for Eagaria in two days."
Eagaria, the country where the Imperial Beastmaster Academy is located.
Ye Xiangting was taken aback. "So soon?"
Qiao Sang nodded. "I want to get there early and familiarize myself with the environment."
Ye Xiangting took a bite of her meal, her previously high spirits suddenly dampened. "It doesn’t have to be this soon. You just got back, and you spent New Year’s on the starship. You haven’t had much time to rest."
Qiao Sang, chewing on some roasted duck, replied, "I finally managed to get into the Imperial Beastmaster Academy. Everyone around me will be older and more skilled. I want to improve as quickly as possible."
At this, Ye Xiangting immediately looked up, her expression complex as she gazed at her daughter.
She really has grown up...
"Alright! When the time comes, I’ll go with you!" Ye Xiangting gathered her emotions and decided firmly.
"Okay", Qiao Sang didn’t refuse.
"Since we have one more day, let’s have a family gathering tomorrow." Ye Xiangting said, eagerly pulling out her mobile phone to start contacting friends and family.
Why a gathering? Qiao Sang interrupted, "Wait! There’s one more thing."
Ye Xiangting paused, looking at her in confusion.
Qiao Sang turned to Treasure Seeker. "Treasure Seeker, bring out the Vilis Serum."
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker stuffed the remaining fruit into her mouth, took off her Ring, and quickly retrieved the Vilis Serum.
"What’s this?" Ye Xiangting asked.
"Vilis Serum", Qiao Sang explained, taking the vial from Treasure Seeker and placing it in front of her mother. "I exchanged it from Yulinton University. Drinking this can enhance your brain domain without any side effects."
Enhance the brain domain without any side effects? Ye Xiangting stared at the vial, stunned.
"This works best when taken in the morning. Mom, use it tomorrow morning and then meditate." Qiao Sang added, her expression unchanged. "After using it, it’s best to stay home and meditate all day, relax, and rest. Don’t go out."
She didn’t want to spend her only day here meeting aunts and cousins...
Ye Xiangting, coming to her senses, quickly pushed the vial back, frowning. "How can you give me something so important? Keep it for yourself."
Qiao Sang felt a warm feeling in her heart and pushed the vial back, explaining, "Vilis Serum can only be used once in a lifetime. I’ve already used mine. This one is specifically for you."
Specifically for me... Ye Xiangting was taken aback again, her eyes welling up. She tried to maintain her usual tone. "Why bring this for me? I have Unified Owl and the others."
Qiao Sang responded confidently, "I just decided to bring it."
"Surely it was hard to get, right?" Ye Xiangting asked.
No, it was quite easy... Qiao Sang replied honestly, "It’s pretty easy. I exchanged it with credits. I got a lot of credits at the start of school and never had a chance to use them."
Ye Xiangting didn’t believe her for a second.
Enhancing the brain domain without any side effects—such a miraculous thing, something she had never even heard of—how could it be so easy to obtain?
Her daughter didn’t want her to think too much about it...
Ye Xiangting slowly exhaled, trying to look relaxed. "Since you brought it specifically for me, I’ll use it."
Qiao Sang probed, "Mom, about tomorrow’s gathering..."
Ye Xiangting lowered her head and took a sip of soup. "No need to gather. I need to focus on absorbing this tomorrow."
Great... Qiao Sang thought to herself.
