Chapter 889: Fairy Heart
Chapter 889: Fairy Heart (Combined)
The bond was successful.
Qiao Sang felt the connection with Qingqing Ni, a mix of excitement and disbelief.
A Legendary Familiar, and the bond was successful just like that?
The Crimson Star Array vanished.
"Qingqing~"
Qingqing Ni gave her Beastmaster a sweet smile.
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker happily circled around Qingqing Ni.
So obedient, so cute... Qiao Sang was instantly charmed.
Honestly, setting aside its rarity, a familiar with such a personality was truly the dream companion.
After all, when a Beastmaster bonds with a familiar, factors such as attributes, Racial Limit, talent, and personality are all crucial. That's why the recommended familiars online for first-time bonding were always those with good personalities.
"Qingfeng."
Qingyun Re called out sternly, indicating they needed to go somewhere before leaving the Hidden Realm.
"Steel Blade."
Steel Treasure translated promptly.
Qiao Sang immediately replied, "No problem!"
She had just bonded with their child, so even if they were asked to go to the Icebird or Ancient Wing Bird to taunt them with a "I'll be back in thirty years" kind of threat, she would be willing to go.
As long as they didn’t spend extra time pinpointing a safe coordinate, with Treasure Seeker's current energy and proficiency in Spatial Shift, they should be able to escape from the Imperial Familiars who aren't particularly adept at countering this skill.
Worst-case scenario, they might look a bit disheveled while fleeing...
"Qingfeng."
Qingyun Re called again, then led the way with Wind Transformation.
"Qingqing."
Qingqing Ni followed suit, transforming into wind and disappearing from sight.
Due to the bond, Qiao Sang could clearly sense Qingqing Ni's exact location.
She quickly climbed onto Fangy's back and began giving directions.
After about an hour of flying, Qingyun Re finally descended.
Qiao Sang followed closely behind.
Qingyun Re and Qingqing Ni landed in a serene valley, reappearing one after the other.
"Qingfeng."
Qingyun Re called out, and a heavy "thud" echoed.
The tangled trees slowly parted, revealing a sizable cave entrance.
Qiao Sang dismounted Fangy and looked up at the trees, only to find that they were staring at her with open eyes.
They were the Tightvine Tree Beasts she had seen in Hidden Realm 88...
"Qingfeng."
Just as Qiao Sang recognized them, Qingyun Re called out again and floated into the cave.
"Qingqing~"
Seeing her Beastmaster staring at the Tightvine Tree Beasts, Qingqing Ni thought she was frightened and floated over, giving a sweet smile. She reached out with her claws, gently grasping Qiao Sang's finger and leading her into the cave.
Damn, Qingqing Ni's claws are so small and soft... Qiao Sang looked down at her held finger, momentarily stunned, and let herself be led inside, her body stiff.
Once Steel Treasure flew into the cave last, the Wisteria Tree Monster slowly moved to completely cover the entrance.
Following the winding path of the cave, they sometimes went down, sometimes to the left, twisting and turning. Along the way, they encountered a few wild familiars. Seeing Qingyun Re and Qingqing Ni leading the way, they merely glanced curiously but didn't attack.
After about ten minutes of walking, the path opened up into a vast space.
Inside, there were piles of various fruits and other familiar food, along with the resources she had originally given to Qingyun Re.
Qingqing Ni released her claws.
Why did they bring me here? Could it be to return these resources... Qiao Sang's eyes fell on the pile of artifact materials, her heart racing as she looked at Qingyun Re, tentatively asking:
"What did you bring me here for?"
Qingyun Re didn’t say anything but floated directly to the pile of Artifact materials.
Seeing this, Qiao Sang coughed and said seriously:
"I understand what you mean. However, I’ve already said that these resources are yours, Qingqing Ni. You don’t need to worry. Once we get out, I’ll find the most suitable resources for it."
Qingyun Re looked over, showing an exasperated expression, then his gaze fell back on the pile of Artifact materials.
In the next second, the wind started to blow on its own.
The Artifacts and materials were gently blown to the sides, revealing the bottom.
Then, the wind lifted a crystal the size of a pomegranate, completely free of impurities and radiating a brilliant light, like a pink diamond, and brought it to Qiao Sang’s face.
This is... Qiao Sang was startled for a moment before taking the pink crystal in front of her.
She was certain that when she had stockpiled supplies, she had never bought this.
"Xunxun..."
Treasure Seeker floated over, completely drawn to the pink crystal in its Beastmaster’s hand, and couldn’t resist poking it with its Short Toe.
So beautiful...
"Qingfeng."
Qingyun Re looked over and called out sternly.
"Steel Blade."
Steel Treasure translated.
It said this thing is called a Fairy Heart, a crucial Artifact for Qingqing Ni’s perfect Evolution. When Qingqing Ni needs to Evolve to the next stage, it must use it.
What? A Fairy Heart? Qiao Sang looked shocked and confused.
She had attended Yulinton University for a semester, even though she hadn’t bonded with a Fairy Familiar, she had still learned a lot about them.
A Fairy Heart, an Artifact that allows Fairy Companions to Evolve, is usually only the size of a cherry. So when she first saw this pink crystal, she hadn’t associated it with a Fairy Heart at all.
This Fairy Heart is excessively large...
On the other hand, it turns out that Qingqing Ni needs a Fairy Heart to Evolve to the next stage...
Qiao Sang gathered her thoughts and said with a complex expression:
"I understand."
She didn’t refuse. This Fairy Heart was clearly extremely valuable and couldn’t be bought with money alone. To help Qingqing Ni Evolve better, she had no reason not to accept it.
Qiao Sang handed the Fairy Heart to Treasure Seeker and said solemnly:
"Make sure to keep it safe."
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker, seeing its Beastmaster’s serious expression, showed a determined look and nodded.
It took the Fairy Heart, removed its Ring, enlarged it, and carefully placed the Fairy Heart inside after finding a perfect spot.
After doing all this, Treasure Seeker pulled its head out of the Ring and gave its Beastmaster a look that said, "I’ve got it, you can rest assured."
"Qingfeng."
Qingyun Re, seeing this, called out without any expression.
"Steel Blade."
Steel Treasure translated.
It said we can leave now.
Qiao Sang was taken aback: "Aren’t you coming with us?"
There were still a few days before the Hidden Realm ended.
"Qingfeng."
Qingyun Re shook his head.
"Qingqing..."
Qingqing Ni seemed to understand that they were about to part ways and became dejected.
"Qingfeng!"
Qingyun Re, sensing Qingqing Ni’s mood, patted its shoulder and called out with a resolute voice.
"Qingqing!"
Qingqing Ni mustered its spirit and called out with a determined gaze.
I will!
Qiao Sang only understood the part where Qingqing Ni spoke. As for what Qingyun Re said, she daydreamed: Work hard out there, and when you come back in thirty years, give Ancient Wing Bird and Icebird a good beating!
Qingyun Re and Qingqing Ni chatted for about five minutes before Qingqing Ni floated over to her Beastmaster.
Qiao Sang understood that they had finished their farewell. She looked at Qingyun Re and said solemnly, "I will take good care of Qingqing Ni. Thirty years from now, I will return here."
"Qingfeng."
Qingyun Re nodded.
It naturally trusted her, which is why it was willing to let Qingqing Ni bond with this human.
...
With Qingqing Ni leading the way, Qiao Sang and Fangy made their way out of the cave.
"Xunxun?"
Treasure Seeker called out, asking where they should go now.
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, "Let's leave the Hidden Realm directly."
Her main purpose for entering the 16th Hidden Realm was to avoid wasting the Hidden Realm Key and the Gentle Breeze Compass, and to see if she could meet the legendary Qingqing Ni.
Now that Qingqing Ni had bonded with her, the Hidden Realm Key and Gentle Breeze Compass were not wasted. The mission assigned by the Examiners was also completed.
Although the 16th Hidden Realm opens once every thirty years and there were still many resources to gather, waiting until the last few days to leave would mean everyone would be rushing toward the exit. Encountering someone with a Gentle Breeze Compass along the way or at the exit could be problematic.
Especially those two B-Class Beastmasters from earlier.
Even though Qingqing Ni didn't show herself at the time, her reaction should have been enough to make anyone with a brain guess that Qingqing Ni was with her.
Outside, people wouldn't covet a bonded familiar, at most feeling envious or jealous, but since she was still inside the Hidden Realm and had bonded with the legendary Qingqing Ni, anything could happen.
To avoid those risks, it was best to leave the Hidden Realm as soon as possible.
Qiao Sang climbed onto Fangy's back. Then she remembered something and looked at Qingqing Ni, speaking softly, "Can you enter the Beastmaster Codex for now? I'll let you out once I leave the Hidden Realm."
The Gentle Breeze Compass could sense Qingqing Ni's location, but it shouldn't be able to detect her inside the Beastmaster Codex.
If she wanted to stay safe for a few more days in the Hidden Realm, she could keep Qingqing Ni in the Codex, but she felt a bit reluctant. After all, most of Qingqing Ni's abilities were related to wind, and wind is the essence of freedom.
"Qingqing?"
Qingqing Ni looked puzzled.
What is the Beastmaster Codex?
Qiao Sang: "..."
"It's the medium through which we bonded", Qiao Sang explained, pointing to her head. "The Beastmaster Codex is in my mind. Once you enter, you can recover your energy and see the outside world through my eyes."
This wouldn't work with a low-level Beastmaster, but with her Brain Domain Development at 50%, it was possible.
"Qingqing."
Qingqing Ni understood and nodded.
Qiao Sang waved her hand, and Qingqing Ni entered the Beastmaster Codex.
"Let's go! We're leaving!"
"Ya!"
...
Time passed, and during the journey, Fangy took a nap and dealt with three waves of Wild Familiars. They finally reached the exit of the Hidden Realm.
The smaller Wild Familiars below heard the commotion, looked up, and didn't attack.
It seemed everyone was indeed waiting for the last prodigy to leave... Qiao Sang observed the surroundings, saw no one, and patted Fangy's back.
“Fang!”
Fangy let out a cry and walked toward the passage.
At that moment, a strange gust of wind blew by.
Qiao Sang, sensing something, turned to look back.
Meanwhile, in the Beastmaster Codex, Qingqing Ni gazed at the empty sky, hesitated for a moment, then showed a reluctant expression before waving its claws.
The Hidden Realm Key emitted a glow.
At the entrance of the passage, a pale white ripple spread out and then returned to calm.
In the air, the wind changed direction and drifted deeper into the Hidden Realm.
...
Spirit Pattern Center.
1,630 meters above the ground.
Qiao Sang emerged from the passage.
Daylight suddenly turned into night.
The Guards on either side were still there.
Outside, there were no more Reporters or people with cameras, but there were still a few people taking photos and checking in.
Seeing someone come out, the Guards looked surprised, and the people taking photos began to whisper among themselves:
"They said the Hidden Realm would be open for a month, but it’s only been 25 days. How can someone already be coming out?"
"Maybe their familiar got injured and couldn’t stay in the Hidden Realm anymore."
"What a waste of a spot. There are still five days left. With that much time, they could have collected enough resources to become rich. If it were me, I wouldn’t come out until the last day."
"Anyone who can enter this Hidden Realm is definitely not as poor as we are. They wouldn’t risk their life for a little bit of resources."
"What’s the name of that red familiar? It looks so cool."
"Didn’t you notice how small it is…?"
Qiao Sang ignored the gazes of the crowd and rode Fangy away.
Her mobile phone was dead, so she had to rely on her memory to retrace her steps and head to the Beastmaster Center.
The evening breeze was gentle.
Finding a place in the air where there weren’t many people flying, Qiao Sang formed a seal with her hands and summoned Qingqing Ni.
"Qingqing…"
Qingqing Ni curiously observed everything around it.
There was no night in the 16th Hidden Realm, so everything here was new and exciting for it.
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker, seeing Qingqing Ni come out, quickly took off its Ring and pulled out a bottle of milk, offering it to Qingqing Ni to build a good relationship from the start.
"Qingqing~"
Qingqing Ni took the milk and smiled sweetly.
It had already had milk in the Hidden Realm and was not unfamiliar with it.
Although Treasure Seeker could be unreliable at times, it was definitely a master at socializing… Qiao Sang watched the scene before her with satisfaction and then thought of something. She entered her Beastmaster Codex with her mind.
Inside the Hidden Realm, danger could arise at any moment, so she couldn’t afford to spend time reading the Beastmaster Codex. Outside, however, she felt safe and secure.
The pages flipped, and she quickly found the page about Qingqing Ni.
