"Teacher, I’ll send Little Treasure Spirit to the hotel to bring Dragon King and the others over first."

Dragon King and Tingbao can be stored back in the Beast Taming Codex, but since there’s also an Original Ice Jellyfish, I have to make a special trip.

Almost forgot about Dragon King... Mikaela tensed up slightly but quickly returned to normal, replying:

"Alright."

Qiao Sang looked at Little Treasure Spirit.

"Xun Xun~"

Even before he spoke, Little Treasure Spirit nodded and chirped, indicating it would go right away.

Its eyes glimmered with a blue light, and it disappeared from the spot.

Despite not having navigation or positioning, it remembered the way to the hotel.

Before long, Little Treasure Spirit returned with Dragon King, Tingbao, and the Original Ice Jellyfish.

At this time, Leouyas had only walked a few dozen meters ahead.

"Ya Ya!"

Yaobao ran a few steps forward, turned around, and called to its Beast Tamer, urging to hurry up.

"Coming." Qiao Sang said, quickening his pace and catching up.

"Sha..."

Shalala, in the form of Fresh Bulrush, called out once, then quickly covered its mouth and followed up.

Qiao Sang heard the sound, stopped, and bent down to pick it up.

Shalala’s gold-hued flower buds around its neck swayed slightly.

The colorful flower-budded Shalala seemed to sense something, turning its gaze to look at its same kind a century later, content to remain in human arms.

It paused, and its gaze fell on the girl.

"Rei Li?"

Re Loka called out beside them.

"Xiaxia."

The colorful flower-budded Shalala shook its head and called out, averting its gaze.

...

Five hours later.

The full moon hung high.

A cold, pale light fell over the tranquil valley.

Suddenly, a chaotic noise arose.

Many Pet Beasts started scattering in all directions.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh... a figure dashed wildly through the valley, faint red firelight visible within.

In the sky, Yaobao flapped its wings, closely following.

"Does Leouyas like to run that much? It’s been running for five hours without a break." Qiao Sang looked at the time on his phone and couldn’t help but speak.

Mikaela hovered nearby, explaining:

"Leouyas is naturally a Pet Beast that loves to run."

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have noticed anything wrong back then.

"Gurgle..."

Yaobao’s stomach rumbled.

"Want to eat something first?" Qiao Sang suggested.

"Ya Ya."

Yaobao chirped, expressing no desire to.

It was afraid of losing track of Leouyas.

"Xun Xun~"

Little Treasure Spirit, while stuffing snacks into its mouth, chirped, indicating that if they got lost, they could just make a phone call to contact later.

Yaobao gave no response, continuing to run.

The evolution materials were right below, and it didn’t want any mistakes.

"Gang Qiu."

Gangbao calmly chirped, indicating that if they didn’t mind its hard body, it could carry everyone to follow, letting Yaobao take a rest.

Complaining about its hard body wasn’t something that would pass easily, but oh no, Gangbao would hear... Qiao Sang’s body tensed slightly.

Gangbao gave a silent glance at its Beast Tamer.

"Ya Ya!"

Yaobao flapped its wings, chirping that it wasn’t necessary and everyone could sit on his back.

"Xiaxia."

The colorful flower-budded Shalala, listening to the conversation, suddenly chirped downwards.

The plants in the valley all swayed slightly.

The figure running came to an abrupt halt.

"Xiaxia."

The colorful flower-budded Shalala chirped that they should go down.

No matter if it’s the Shalala from a hundred years ago or the one from a hundred years later, both are so gentle... Qiao Sang felt a bit emotional.

At such a moment, Shalala suddenly spoke up; it naturally knew it was because it heard Yaobao’s stomach growl.

"Ya Ya!"

Yaobao called out, running downwards.

Mikaela, Pen Jiami, and Dragon King followed closely behind.

"Li Li?"

Leouyas looked at the dozen or so figures that appeared in front of it, calling out, wondering what was going on.

"Xiaxia." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

The colorful flower-budded Shalala left Yaobao’s back and chirped, suggesting they rest for a bit.

"Li Li."

Leouyas showed a dissatisfied expression, calling out.

How was it time to rest already?

"Xiaxia."

The colorful flower-budded Shalala calmly chirped that it was hungry.

Leouyas’s displeased expression faded, and it sighed, calling out:

"Li Li."

Fine, let’s rest.

Saying so, it tugged at the leaf cloak draped over it, revealing its original form, lying down on the ground.

"Gurgle..."

Yaobao’s form shrank as its stomach rumbled again.

"Xun Xun~"

Little Treasure Spirit removed a ring and quickly took out Yaobao’s special Energy Pills and some tree fruit from inside.

Qiao Sang sat cross-legged and asked:

"Where are we now?"

With the phone, navigation, and positioning all useless, she had no idea where she currently was.

"Zhengzhou." Mikaela said.
