Hearing a voice completely different from her Big Brother Yaobao, Xiao Xunbao turned her head in confusion, and then her expression revealed excessive fright.
Why had her Big Brother Yaobao changed so much?!
"It’s just evolved, that’s all," Qiao Sang explained.
Xiao Xunbao was first taken aback, then her expression dropped her jaw in shock.
It evolved in just that short period?!
Yaobao cracked a proud little smile.
Just as Yaobao pricked up its ears to hear how Xiao Xunbao would praise it next, Lubao pointed at the halo above Xiao Xunbao’s head with its paw and gave a bark.
Qiao Sang was stunned because Lubao said it saw Xiao Xunbao put Qi Yunla into the halo.
"Is this true?" Qiao Sang asked Xiao Xunbao excitedly.
"Xun Xun~" Hearing its Beast Tamer ask such a question, Xiao Xunbao immediately forgot about Yaobao’s evolution, took off the halo, and pulled out the transparent device, calling out in a show-off manner.
It just happened to fall in front of her, so she picked it up casually.
Qi Yunla was beside herself with excitement as she looked outside from within the device.
She felt she had been rescued!
Lubao’s vision was so damn good, wasn’t it! Considering Xiao Xunbao seemed like a mere black dot just now, and with all the flames obstructing the view—maybe the Lulan Crystal had taken effect... Qiao Sang thought it necessary to check Lubao’s vision after returning.
With this thought in mind, she immediately pushed the just-emerged Qi Yunla back into the halo and said sternly, "Yaobao, let’s get moving quickly!"
Yaobao responded listlessly, indicating it understood.
Was it because it had used too much energy and become weak?
While Qiao Sang was pondering, Xiao Xunbao was suddenly pulled upwards by a force, lifted dozens of meters into the air.
Xiao Xunbao struggled desperately, but couldn’t shake off the control.
When it finally stopped, its little heart trembling, it turned its head and then saw a huge, terrifying face.
Xiao Xunbao’s eyes shifted, followed by a loud cry, and it twisted its head, feigning unconsciousness.
Qiao Sang looked up to see in the sky above, Mu Mu holding Xiao Xunbao in one paw and dragging an uncle in another.
She squinted her eyes and was about to speak when the uncle’s voice came from afar:
"I’ve seen everything. Now, I’ll give you two choices: either your Treasure-seeking Demon opens the halo and hands over Qi Yunla, or I’ll just take the Treasure-seeking Demon away."
Zhang Rongtang actually didn’t want to make an enemy of a child who was bound to be extraordinary in the future, but there was no choice—the things placed inside the Treasure-seeking Demon’s halo can’t be taken out by anyone other than itself.
Since fate had given him the chance to encounter Qi Yunla, he couldn’t possibly give up!
Making an enemy was inconsequential. As long as he formed a contract with Qi Yunla, he feared no one!
Yaobao bared its teeth, flashing a fierce expression towards the sky, and the flames on its shoulders expanded slightly.
Just as it was preparing to fight, Qiao Sang touched its fur, signaling it to calm down.
Under its Beast Tamer’s soothing, Yaobao didn’t rush upwards but continued to snarl upwards.
Yaobao was now out of energy—if it went up, it would be giving itself away for nothing. She could recall Xiao Xunbao into the Beast Taming Codex from this distance, but once recalled, the opponent would attack, and they would still be at a disadvantage. It might be better to delay for a while... Qiao Sang looked up at the sky, pretending to hesitate.
Zhang Rongtang didn’t want to waste time, he said solemnly, "I’ll only count to three."
After finishing his sentence, he started counting directly.
"Give me one minute, just one minute to think, okay!"
"Thirty seconds! Thirty seconds should be okay, right?"
This time Qiao Sang didn’t speak, but her mouth gradually opened wide, and she stood dumbfounded, gaping at the sky.
To be precise, she was staring at the spot behind Mu Mu.
Yaobao mirrored the expression.
The pitch-black night sky suddenly split open a tiny crack, which then widened more and more, as if being slowly torn apart by an invisible pair of giant hands.
Darkness filled the gap, like an abyss.
Qiao Sang’s head buzzed with a cacophony of thoughts, which eventually coalesced into one:
Fuck! A Secret Realm rift!
Realizing what it was, Qiao Sang quickly pulled out her phone, opened the camera app, and took a picture of the rift in the sky.
A fresh Secret Realm rift! And her first sighting! Time to post it on her circle of friends!
