The drowsy Yabao was suddenly jolted awake by a burst of bright white light.

In the next moment, his eyes widened abruptly.

"Yap!"

My little brother is evolving!

Bathed in the white glow, Little Treasure’s body gradually grew larger.

At the same time, Qiao Sang felt a refreshing coolness sweep through her mind, like a gentle breeze brushing past. It was incredibly soothing.

"Hah..."

This sensation wasn’t unfamiliar to her. She had experienced it before when Yabao and Lubao had evolved.

However, back then, one evolution had occurred in the midst of a crisis, and the other during an intense competition. Her attention hadn't been on herself, so she hadn't realized the changes in her own state as clearly as she did now.

The feeling of being nourished in return was truly amazing... Qiao Sang couldn't help but marvel at it.

Just then, the white light faded.

A small creature emerged, his body predominantly gray. His golden hair was tied into a single braid that fluttered behind his head.

Each of his ears sported a golden hoop earring, radiating a visible black ghostly aura. Around his neck, a golden ring-like pattern was embedded in his fur. A golden band encircled the connection between his hands and wrists.

Evolution successful... Qiao Sang’s lips curled into a bright smile.

"Yap Yap!"

Yabao excitedly ran up to Little Treasure.

My little brother really evolved!

"Gui!"

Little Treasure placed his tiny paws on his hips and let out a triumphant, head-tilted laugh.

But just as he started laughing, he suddenly sensed something was off.

"Gui?" He hesitantly called out again.

"Gui?!"

Little Treasure's expression turned into one of utter disbelief. Why had his voice changed?!

Seeing this, Qiao Sang explained, "It's normal for your voice to change after evolving. Didn’t Lubao’s voice change too?"

"Gui..."

Little Treasure, struck by the realization, suddenly looked dejected. His floating braid drooped along with his spirits.

But then, as if recalling something, his eyes lit up, and his braid once again fluttered in the air.

Little Treasure took a deep breath and opened its mouth.

"Gui... Gui... Xun..."

Qiao Sang blinked.

Little Treasure also blinked, then carefully called out again, "Xun?"

"Xun xun!"

Little Treasure's eyes sparkled with excitement as he put his paws on his hips and resumed hiss triumphant laughter.

Qiao Sang: !!!

Wait... a pet beast can control its evolved voice?!

"Yap yap..."

Yabao, standing beside them, tilted his head in confusion. Why is little brother so excited? It’s just a different voice…

"Xun xun~"

After laughing joyfully for a while, Little Treasure floated toward the bathroom, eager to see his new form in the mirror.

"Xun xun!"

Soon, a sharp cry echoed from the bathroom.

Qiao Sang frowned. Now what?

Before she could get up to check, Little Treasure had already floated out, teary-eyed.

"Xun xun!"

"Xun xun!"

He threw himself into Qiao Sang’s arms, wailing.

He was still so small!

"Yap?"

Yabao tilted his head, looking at him seriously before blurting out a sincere question: Oh? You evolved, but you're still tiny?

"Xun xun!!"

Little Treasure wailed even louder.

Qiao Sang: ...

Well, technically, Little Treasure had grown about ten centimeters taller after evolving. But compared to Yabao and Lubao, the size difference was still noticeable.

Actually, wasn’t the normal size of a Ghost Ring Phantom supposed to be twice as big as this?

Yeah... it's indeed too small... Qiao Sang silently agreed but said instead, "You're much bigger than before. If you don’t believe me, try sitting on my head."

"Xun xun..."

Hearing his beast master's words, Little Treasure stopped crying and floated onto her head.

Since he rarely looked in the mirror, he always gauged his size compared to Yabao and Lubao. But the moment he sat on Qiao Sang’s head, he immediately noticed a difference.

Before, he could wiggle around and still see Qiao Sang’s ears when he lowered his head. But now, he couldn't.

"Xun..."

Little Treasure blinked. He really had grown a little.

"Xun xun..."

But in the next second, he pursed its lips, looking aggrieved. Only a little…

Qiao Sang comforted it, "This size is just right. You like sitting on my head, don’t you? If you got any bigger, you wouldn't fit."

"Xun xun..."

Little Treasure fell into deep thought. But… he already felt like he didn’t fit…

You're not wrong. Qiao Sang sighed internally.

Little Treasure’s size now completely covered her head. If it had been a beret before, it was now a full-on sun hat.

But could she say that?

Nope.

Qiao Sang smiled.

"You fit just fine."

"Xun..." Little Treasure sighed.

Well, at least being small had this one advantage.

"Yap..."

Yabao, watching from the side, saw how half of Qiao Sang’s face was now covered in shadow and grew even more confused.

Does that really count as 'fitting'...?

11:30 PM

After washing up, Qiao Sang lay in bed and entered the Beast Codex in her consciousness.

She quickly flipped to Xiaoxunbao’s page.

Qiao Sang read through the list line by line.

When she saw Cursed Body, she froze.

Wait… how is this different from Accursed Body?

Her gaze flicked between the two descriptions.

The only difference is… one extra character?!

But then, what exactly was the difference between 'paralyzed' and 'immobilized'...?

Qiao Sang knew she wasn’t the best at academics.

Time to look it up.

She returned to reality, grabbed her phone, and typed 'immobilization status.'

Soon, she found the relevant explanation.
