Chapter 249: Chapter 237: The Imaginary Emperor
Shuilu Yana shot up like a column of water, drawing a beautiful arc in mid-air.
However, this was Shuilu Yana’s first time experiencing such a thing, and failing to control the momentum properly, the direction of the Water Jet Thrust sharply turned downwards, and with a “swoosh,” it plummeted straight down from mid-air.
The head of Shuilu Yana buried itself into the ground, leaving most of its body and tail exposed.
“Lulu!”
Shuilu Yana struggled desperately.
“Ya Ya!”
Yaobao ran over with an anxious expression.
You’re not hurt, are you?
Yaobao was somewhat worried. This fellow was an elderly Pet Beast, and after such a fall, there was a risk of injury!
Upon hearing Yaobao’s voice, Shuilu Yan’s body stiffened, its tail stopped wagging, and its limbs ceased struggling; its head buried in the ground turned ashen.
It felt more inclined to stay buried than to face its beloved Pet Beast after such an embarrassing display.
However, before Shuilu Yana could continue to wallow in its misery, Yaobao reached out a paw and plucked it from the ground like one would a radish.
“Ya Ya!”
Yaobao leaned in close, peering at Shuilu Yana with a concerned gaze, its head covered in dirt.
“Lulu…”
Seeing Yaobao up close, Shuilu Yana’s face flared red with embarrassment, forgetting to continue contemplating the fall, it turned and leaped headfirst into the pool.
“Ya?”
Yaobao tilted its head, its face full of question marks.
…
Inside the room.
Qiao Sang finished her meditation, slowly opening her eyes.
As soon as she did, she noticed Yaobao nearby with a worried expression, half-crouching at the edge of the bed.
“Ya Ya!”
Seeing its Beast Tamer awake, Yaobao’s eyes lit up, and it quickly approached Qiao Sang to relay what had just happened.
Qiao Sang was taken aback, “Shuilu Yana won’t come out from the water?”
“Ya!”
Yaobao nodded.
“Did something happen?” asked Qiao Sang.
“Ya Ya…”
Yaobao explained with a helpless expression.
Qiao Sang was confused, “You mean Shuilu Yana successfully learned Water Jet Thrust, but then fell and might have damaged its head?”
“Ya!”
Yaobao nodded earnestly.
It seriously considered that a possibility.
How could that be allowed to happen!
Shuilu Yana was already quite old, and to fall from the sky and hit its head would only hasten its demise!
Qiao Sang, anxious, got out of bed, slipped on her slippers, and headed toward the courtyard.
“Xun Xun~”
At that moment, Xiao Xunbao the Treasure-seeking Ghost suddenly appeared, blocking Qiao Sang’s way.
The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.
Qiao Sang moved left, and Xiao Xunbao moved left.
Qiao Sang moved right, and Xiao Xunbao moved right.
“What’s the matter?” Qiao Sang could only stop and ask.
“Xun Xun!”
Xiao Xunbao lifted its head, patted its chest, assuming an air of confidence that it couldn’t possibly be wrong.
“You know what the problem is with Shuilu Yana?” Qiao Sang was startled.
“Ya?” Yaobao was also taken aback.
“Xun~” Xiao Xunbao nodded proudly.
It had been watching the entire time and was sure it couldn’t have misjudged the situation!
Qiao Sang: “…”
It’s just a hit to the head, what else could be wrong besides a potential head injury?
Before Qiao Sang could speak, Xiao Xunbao, out of nowhere, swiftly pulled out a phone and expertly began navigating through it.
Soon, it found a video in the history records and played it in front of Qiao Sang.
Qiao Sang was impressed by the skillful maneuver.
The creature was a whiz with the phone, even knowing the lock screen password and how to search through the history records…
It was absolutely brilliant.
Qiao Sang looked down at her phone, while Yaobao curiously brought his head closer to have a look as well.
The video on the phone was a preview of a newly released TV drama that she had checked out online out of boredom before school had started.
At the time, Xiao Xunbao had been hanging around beside her while she was scrolling through her phone.
Qiao Sang watched the video play on her phone in silence for a while; she remembered that this TV drama’s genre was a mix of romance and inspiration.
Since it was adapted from a novel, the plot had pretty much been spoiled by netizens in the comments section.
It was about two Beast Tamers who had disliked each other since childhood, but one of them had a Green Kitty that fell in love with the other’s Cherrywood Cotton pet.
To make their own Beast Tamers happy, Green Kitty tried to avoid Cherrywood Cotton and eventually became depressed.
Later on, its Beast Tamer learned about this and took the initiative to ease relations with their rival for the sake of their Pet Beast’s happiness.
After all sorts of chaotic events, the two became good friends and even teamed up to compete in the Beast Taming doubles competition, making their way from a small county to the regional Beast Taming doubles championship. In the end, the two Pet Beasts also got together, marking a classic perfect ending.
For a moment, Qiao Sang couldn’t relate the plot of the drama to Shuilu Yana’s situation.
The preview had moved on to shots of the Pet Beasts.
In the trailer, the two protagonists were still in a hostile phase, facing off in a Beast Taming battle each time they met.
Cherrywood Cotton showed no mercy as it unleashed Leaf Blade, while Green Kitty deliberately angled its skill slightly off, allowing the Leaf Blade to hit it.
After Green Kitty fell, Cherrywood Cotton approached to help it up, but Green Kitty, its face turning red, shook off Cherrywood Cotton’s paw and ran away.
Before the trailer could continue, Xiao Xunbao hit pause.
Qiao Sang looked up with a bewildered expression.
Yaobao lifted his head, wearing an equally perplexed look.
What did this have to do with Shuilu Yana’s situation? Qiao Sang felt her brain struggling to keep up.
“Xun Xun!”
“Xun Xun.”
“Xun Xun…”
Possibly seeing too much confusion in its Beast Tamer’s eyes, Xiao Xunbao immediately began to act out two roles, switching between playing Yaobao and Shuilu Yana, reenacting the events that had just taken place in the yard in front of Qiao Sang.
Qiao Sang was silent for a moment before speaking, “You’re saying Shuilu Yana likes Yaobao.”
“Xun!”
Xiao Xunbao nodded resolutely.
Qiao Sang turned to look at Yaobao, who still appeared bewildered, not understanding what was happening.
Shuilu Yana liking Yaobao, how could that be possible?!
These two had just been fighting at the drop of a hat not long ago.
And Yaobao was how old? Barely half a year old if that, while Shuilu Yana was already considered an elderly Pet Beast. Could it be Shuilu Yana had a thing for the younger ones?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Even with the countless dramas she had seen, Qiao Sang couldn’t make such a leap of imagination… She got up and headed towards the door, opting to escape, “I better go check on Shuilu Yana’s condition first…”
“Xun!”
Xiao Xunbao Teleported in front of her, making a sincere call, urging Qiao Sang to trust it.
Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched slightly, reluctantly saying, “Then let Yaobao give it a try.”
“Ya?”
Yaobao tilted his head, puzzled.
Try what?
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, “You go and ask Shuilu Yana if it wants to stay. If it stays, you can be together all the time, but the condition is that it has to make a contract with me. After all, this would make it easier for us to go to other places in the future.”
Having said that, Qiao Sang turned to Xiao Xunbao, “Xiao Xunbao, Yaobao just said Shuilu Yana wouldn’t come out, you go help out too.”
“Xun!” Xiao Xunbao appeared excited.
“Ya…” Yaobao, however, looked completely baffled.
…
After Yaobao and Xiao Xunbao left, Qiao Sang sat on the bed and started to read a book.
She didn’t want to crowd the scene; better to avoid having Shuilu Yana spray her face with a Water Jet Thrust again.
Yaobao’s failure was inevitable, but this was a good opportunity to let Shuilu Yana know she was considering a contract and to see Shuilu Yana’s current attitude.
That being said, since Shuilu Yana had managed to successfully perform Water Jet Thrust, she’d still have to go out to the courtyard to see Shuilu Yana’s condition afterward and get it to perform Water Jet Thrust once more…
“Lulu…”
As Qiao Sang’s thoughts fluttered about, a voice brought her back to reality.
Qiao Sang turned towards the source of the sound.
There was Shuilu Yana, appearing by her bed with a red face and a bashful expression.
Next to it was Yaobao, still wearing a confused look, and Xiao Xunbao, whose face practically read “please praise me.”
“Lulu~”
Qiao Sang: “???”
