Chapter 86: Chapter 82 Sister oh
“This is for you to drink,” Qiao Sang said softly, stroking Xiao Xunbao’s head.
Xiao Xunbao hesitated at her words but still pushed the milk forward.
“Xun~”
“If you drink this, how are you going to grow?” Qiao Sang laughed.
Xiao Xunbao’s action of offering the milk paused.
It gazed at Qiao Sang, looking nothing like the clever creature it had been two days ago.
“I’m not saying we can’t buy it now, as long as you promise to be good. You must drink your milk on time, and if there’s something you want, tell me. Don’t hide it in the round hoop on your own; I will figure out a way to get it for you,” Qiao Sang took the opportunity to set conditions.
After all, she was going to buy it sooner or later; it was just a matter of timing.
It might be better to go along with Xiao Xunbao’s wishes now and set some requirements.
Trying to change the inherent habits of a species is too difficult.
Instead of allowing Xiao Xunbao to stash things behind her back, it’s better to let it know that the things it desires can be obtained openly, not just stealthily taken.
Xiao Xunbao stared blankly at Qiao Sang for a while, then suddenly threw itself into her arms, crying.
“Xun!”
“Xun!”
“Why are you crying?” Qiao Sang was stunned.
Xiao Xunbao just kept crying.
It didn’t know why, but it suddenly felt like crying.
The Fire-Toothed Dog was watching TV and drinking milk when Xiao Xunbao’s crying startled it.
It looked at Xiao Xunbao, then at the milk it was drinking, remembering what its Beast Tamer had said about everyone being family. After some hesitation, it walked over and offered the half-finished milk in its paw.
“Ya.”
“Ya Ya.”
The crying of Xiao Xunbao quieted down a little as it turned to look at the Fire-Toothed Dog’s gesture.
“Xun Xun.”
“Ya.”
“Xun.”
“Ya Ya.”
The two Pet Beasts conversed harmoniously.
Qiao Sang looked on with relief at this scene.
If it had been before, Yaobao would never have willingly let go of something by its mouth.
When Xiao Xunbao calmed down, Qiao Sang chose a Flame Tooth accessory, the same model as the Fire-Toothed Dog’s, according to its wishes.
The model was the same but the energy it concentrated was different.
Xiao Xunbao possessed two attributes.
After much consideration, Qiao Sang chose the Concentration Beads, which could accelerate the gathering of psychic energy.
With the Golden Finger enhancing levels, whether the energy concentrated was Spectral Series or Psychic Series, the effect was the same.
The difference was in which skill could shorten its release time.
It was well-known that Xiao Xunbao was a Spectral-type Pet Beast. If everybody was guarding against its Spectral Series skills and it suddenly pulled out a Psychic Series trump card, that would indeed catch them off guard.
Surprise attacks hinge on being swift, accurate, and brutal.
With that analysis, it was clear that the Concentration Beads were the more appropriate choice.
After purchasing the Concentration Beads, Qiao Sang quickly shut off her phone, fearing she might lose control and make more impulsive purchases.
Pet Beasts with rare attributes are expensive.
Similarly, items with rare attributes are also expensive.
Luckily, it was the same online store. The chat history from earlier was still there, and the customer representative, seeing that Qiao Sang had bought two items in a single day, offered a friendly price of 139,999 Alliance Currency.
After an online shopping spree, half her wealth was gone. Even Qiao Sang felt a sense of panic.
This money is just too easy to spend…
…
At 6 p.m., at the dinner table.
Ye Ranran’s aunt, a woman who loved to chatter about family matters, glanced at Ye Ranran who was earnestly eating and gossiped, “How did the blind date go today? Is the guy from a government agency or a public institution?”
Ye Ranran looked up at Qiao Sang, casting a pleading gaze.
Qiao Sang gnawed on a chicken leg, pretending not to notice.
She was quite interested in hearing some gossip though…
Ye Ranran glanced over at Ye Jing Wen who was holding a book in one hand and eating with the other.
“A public institution, he’s a teacher,” Ye Ranran answered honestly.
“Teachers are good, which school and what does he teach?” the third aunt-in-law asked.
Qiao Sang could sense something from this.
In this society, when it comes to starting a family, a Beast Tamer is definitely the top priority, followed only by profession.
The third aunt-in-law was asking such questions to gauge whether the man in question was a Beast Tamer or not.
Ye Ranran took a sip of soup and said, “It doesn’t matter what he teaches, we’re not suitable for each other.”
The third aunt-in-law frowned and said, “What’s not suitable? You’ve only met once and haven’t even tried to get along. If your mother finds out, she’ll get anxious again.”
Ye Ranran is the eldest daughter of the second uncle.
Although the third aunt-in-law is an ordinary person, she has a good nature and a deep understanding of the way between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, and she gets along well with her sisters-in-law.
“He has a Pet Beast called a Snow Browed Rabbit, which is a natural nemesis to my Wind Sculptor. It’s not suitable,” explained Ye Ranran.
The third aunt-in-law fell silent instantly.
In today’s society, when it comes to dating, especially if both parties are Beast Tamers, how well their Pet Beasts get along is very important.
Having a boyfriend or girlfriend is one thing, but marriage definitely requires caution.
Once they live together and their Pet Beasts have to see each other all the time, if they start fighting upon meeting, it can really affect the couple’s relationship.
After all, Beast Tamers are undoubtedly devoted to their own Pet Beasts.
Nowadays, girls don’t ask that soul-searching question, “Who’s more important, your mom or I?”
Instead, they frame it as “Am I more important, or is your Pet Beast more important?” to gauge a guy’s feelings for them.
…
After dinner, Qiao Sang went to Liu Gan Creek.
The Fire-Toothed Dog had fully recovered its energy.
Soon, after it created 10 Doppelgangers and Spark was released 80 times, it entered its languid state again.
The Treasure-seeking Ghost handed over the previously prepared milk.
This time, the Fire-Toothed Dog hesitated for a moment before taking it.
Qiao Sang bent down to take notes.
Although both Flame Tooth and Spark were at a minor mastery stage, there was still a significant difference in energy consumption between a mid-level Skill and a low-level Skill.
Just as Qiao Sang finished taking notes and thought about heading back, a serene voice arose from behind her, “Sis.”
Qiao Sang was so startled she nearly jumped.
Turning around, she saw a figure in a white dress with disheveled hair—a classic midnight ghostly appearance.
Thankfully, it was still summer, and it got dark late; so the sky was still a bit light. Although the girl in front of her had long hair and a white dress, she wore black-rimmed glasses.
It didn’t give off the fearsome beauty of a ghost, but rather made her seem like a bookworm.
“Sis, you scared me to death,” Qiao Sang said as she touched her little heart.
“You’ve bonded with both a Fire Element and a Spectral Series, and still you have such a small heart?” asked Ye Jing Wen.
Qiao Sang: “…”
Does she need to train her courage every day in the face of a Fire-Toothed Dog that demands milk and a Treasure-seeking Ghost that needs to be braver?
“What are you doing here?” Qiao Sang countered.
“I came specially to find you,” said Ye Jing Wen, pausing for a moment, “Sis, do me a favor.”
“Call me by my name,” Qiao Sang said.
She had just been startled; now that she had calmed down, she couldn’t bring herself to call out “Sis.”
The two were not much different in age and usually called each other by their names. Moreover, Qiao Sang felt mentally much older than Ye Jing Wen now.
“Sang, help a sister out,” Ye Jing Wen corrected herself.
“What is it?” Qiao Sang asked.
She was actually curious; if it was important, why didn’t Ye Jing Wen mention it at home instead of making a special trip out here to find her?
Qiao Sang thought of something and suddenly became wary.
She wasn’t asking to borrow money, was she?!
