Chapter 307: Chapter 294: Pet Store

After Qiao Sang retreated to a safe spot on the side, the combat training began immediately.

"Boom!"

A huge fireball shot out and burst open in mid-air, the intense flames instantly lighting up the somewhat dim courtyard.

"Xun!"

Xiao Xunbao teleported to the other side, sticking out its short toe to hook at Yaobao, then, with a mischievous look, it turned around and shook its rump antagonistically.

You little rascal, keep it up!

Qiao Sang: "..."

Good grief, Xiao Xunbao’s skill at provoking has gotten increasingly proficient, but I wonder who it’s been practicing with...

At this moment, dozens of black ant heads peeked out from the crevices in the ground at the corner of the courtyard wall, both fearful and irritatingly itchy to take on Xiao Xunbao’s direction.

Provoking easily draws hatred, stirring up the target’s rage, which not only draws the enemy’s focus in a group battle but also easily drives the target into an irrational state.

Yaobao was inherently hot-tempered, and although it had improved quite a bit since contracting with Qiao Sang, that was only because it hadn’t encountered many things to anger it.

Xiao Xunbao’s action had directly made its fur bristle.

"Ya!"

Yaobao bared its sharp teeth.

It seemed that without a lesson, this little one might forget who the boss was!

Then Yaobao’s doppelgangers began to appear in droves, dozens of identical Flame Listening Dogs opened their mouths towards Xiao Xunbao in mid-air, hurling dazzling and destructive fireballs with a whoosh.

The courtyard was lit as bright as day.

"Bang Bang Bang!!!"

The fireballs kept missing their target and smashing to the ground, leaving behind terrifyingly large craters.

"Xun!"

Xiao Xunbao, frightened by this display, teleported non-stop.

It had just dodged a fireball bigger than its whole body when, right in front of where it teleported to, another fireball rapidly shot towards it.

Xiao Xunbao shivered and vanished from the spot once more.

"Xun Xun!"

When Xiao Xunbao reappeared, it wore a face almost crying without tears.

Isn’t this supposed to be combat training? Why is Brother Yaobao hitting so fiercely!

"Ding dong~"

Amidst the successive blasts, Qiao Sang didn’t notice that the doorbell had already been ringing for nearly a minute.

"What’s wrong with this child, not answering the phone either," Ye Xiangting put down her phone and frowned.

"Jiubi..."

The chubby Jiubi continued to press the doorbell quietly with its wing.

"Stop pressing it," Ye Xiangting looked up and said, "I remember there’s a courtyard at the back of this house, fly in from there and see if he’s around."

"Jiubi."

The chubby Jiubi nodded its head and flapped its wings flying towards the back.

It hadn’t even reached the courtyard when it heard a deafening explosion.

"Jiubi..."

Scared, the chubby Jiubi flew a little higher, cautiously moving closer.

When it reached above the courtyard, it looked down only to see Xiao Xunbao’s figure suddenly appearing less than a meter away.

"Jiubi~"

The chubby Jiubi fluttered its wings, greeting it warmly.

The next second, Xiao Xunbao disappeared, and a searing flame came straight at it.

"Jiubi!"

...

Five minutes later.

In the living room.

"Mom, I was just helping Yaobao and Xiao Xunbao with their training; the commotion was so loud I didn’t hear you," Qiao Sang explained.

Ye Xiangting’s gaze shifted from Xiao Xunbao to Qiao Sang and she asked, "Why didn’t you tell me about Xiao Xunbao’s evolution?"

Qiao Sang: "..."

Of course, he hadn’t thought about that at all, but could he say that?

No!

"The evolution happened only recently," Qiao Sang answered nonchalantly. "I’ve been too busy lately. Not long ago, the vice-principal transferred me to the senior high school team, and I’ve been getting home every day around 7 or 8 p.m., then I still have to rush to do my homework. I really haven’t had a moment to call."

Ye Xiangting snorted coldly and said, "A phone call takes about five seconds to pick up, and less than a minute to explain everything. Are you saying you don’t even have a minute now?"

Why is she still dwelling on this! Shouldn’t she be surprised that I made it into the senior high school team! Qiao Sang inwardly cursed his luck, realizing he hadn’t successfully diverted his mother’s attention.

Ye Xiangting continued to ask, "And you didn’t even mention a word about you making it onto the senior high school team?"

Qiao Sang: "..."

Just then, Lubao had finished casting Healing Light, and the plump Jiubi slowly opened its eyes.

"Jiubi..."

The plump Jiubi looked around in confusion at first, then seemed to remember something, showing a pitiful expression as it ran towards Ye Xiangting.

"Jiubi!"

Qiao Sang let out a sigh of relief, as his mother’s attention was finally being diverted.

Ye Xiangting caught the plump Jiubi and scrutinized it carefully from head to toe several times before she curiously looked at Lubao and asked, "What is this Pet Beast called? Whose friend is it? Its healing ability is so impressive."

Qiao Sang scratched his head and sheepishly said, "It’s called Binglu Qia, and it’s your family’s."

Ye Xiangting was stunned for a moment, "Mine?"

Qiao Sang said, "This is the third Pet Beast I’ve contracted."

"Lubao."

Lubao called out aloofly, as if to greet her.

Ye Xiangting fell silent for quite a while.

Just when Qiao Sang thought his mother would continue to be silent, Ye Xiangting, expressionless, asked, "When did you have your brain domain breakthrough? How come I didn’t know about it?"

"Also, why didn’t you say a word about contracting a new Pet Beast?"

Qiao Sang: "..."

"Yaobao..."

Yaobao made a "can’t help you" face on the side.

There was no way out—there were simply too many things he hadn’t mentioned.

Qiao Sang didn’t immediately answer, but turned to Lubao with a serious expression and said, "This is an emergency, Healing Sound Wave, quick!"

Lubao, seeing its own Beast Tamer looking so serious, didn’t delay and immediately started to sing.

"Lubao~ Luuuuubao~ Luubao~ Luu~ Luubao~"

Only when the singing ended did Qiao Sang finally begin to answer his mother’s earlier questions: "It was just something that happened recently. I’ve been too busy lately, not long ago the vice-principal transferred me to the senior high school team, and I’ve been getting home every day around 7 or 8 p.m., then I still have to rush to do my homework. I really haven’t had a moment to call and tell you."

Ye Xiangting expressed concern, "The vice-principal values you, but you’re only in freshman year. Won’t it be too demanding for you to join the senior high school team so quickly?"

Healing Sound Wave! Awesome! Qiao Sang was inwardly ecstatic, but he feigned nonchalance and said, "It’s fine, it’s just a bit more tiring, and I have a little less time for myself, but I can handle it."

"You’re in high school now, after all. If you don’t work hard, how will you get into a good university?"

Ye Xiangting felt a mix of heartache and pride as she looked at Qiao Sang with tender eyes and said, "I came today because I have something to tell you."

"What is it?" Qiao Sang asked. "Why didn’t you just call?"

Ye Xiangting softly said, "Aren’t you too busy, without even a minute to spare for a phone call?"

Qiao Sang: "..."

This really isn’t sarcasm... right?

For a moment, Qiao Sang seriously doubted whether the effects of the Healing Sound Wave had already worn off.

Ye Xiangting went on to say, "I’ve opened the pet store you mentioned last time."

ps: I’m back! Updates will resume, and you can figure out how many Chapters I owe. I’ll strive to make them up within two months!
