On the stage, a gray star array lit up.
With Tear Bud offering no resistance, the contract was completed swiftly.
Madam Mara watched from the stage and led the applause.
Clap, clap, clap...
Immediately, the entire banquet hall was filled with enthusiastic applause, and everyone was smiling brightly.
This is way too exaggerated, if someone didn’t know better, they’d think this was an award ceremony... Qiao Sang thought to herself before saying, “Since it’s over, I’ll be heading back now.”
“You didn’t find a pet beast you liked?” Yuna asked, a bit surprised.
Aside from the Frost Sense Fox at the beginning, did I even see anything else... Qiao Sang’s expression remained calm.“No.”
Yuna’s expression shifted instantly.
As expected of an unprecedented prodigy, so many gifted pet beasts right in front of her, and none of them even caught her interest... Yuna set down her wine glass and said, “I’ll have someone escort you.”
“No need.” Qiao Sang refused.
“I can go back on my own.”
Tang Yi looked at Qiao Sang.
“I’ll go back with you.”
Yuna was shocked.
“You didn’t find a pet beast you liked either?”
“They’re all great.” Tang Yi sighed.
“But I haven’t decided if I want to contract a pet beast from the Chaosu Star.”
Just as Yuna was about to say more...
A beam of light suddenly shone on Qiao Sang.
“Miss, would you be willing to have a match with me?” Felice asked from the stage.
She held a microphone, and her voice rang clearly throughout the banquet hall.
All eyes followed the beam of light.
Qiao Sang blinked in surprise and pointed at herself.
“Me?”
“Yes, you.” Felice nodded.
Tang Yi was both shocked and impressed, today’s star of the banquet really had an eye for people. She went and picked the absolute worst opponent for herself.
Yuna nearly laughed out loud.
She had invited Qiao Sang not only to build connections but also to slap Felice in the face.
Originally, she thought Felice would come over first, pretending to be friendly while actually showing off. Yuna had even prepared how to introduce Qiao Sang.
But unexpectedly, Felice never approached her.
If she took Qiao Sang over to her directly, it would seem too deliberate, and she didn’t want Qiao Sang to see through her intentions.
Between humiliating Felice and getting on Qiao Sang’s good side, she chose the latter.
She had already given up, yet now Felice had handed her such a delightful surprise.
“This doesn’t seem appropriate. She’s my friend, why don’t you choose someone else?” Yuna stepped forward, fanning the flames.
If it weren’t for how hard it was to suppress her smirk, I might have actually believed you… Qiao Sang glanced at Yuna.
“Sis, this is my celebration banquet. According to the rules, after contracting a pet beast, I can challenge anyone to a match.” Felice smiled.
Yuna put on a troubled expression and turned to Qiao Sang.
“She’s right. In our family, after contracting a pet beast, we typically have a match to showcase their strength, it’s part of the banquet. My sister probably chose you because you’re about the same age as her.”
Meanwhile, the guests murmured amongst themselves.
“Whose family is this child from? I’ve never seen her before.”
“What’s the name of the pet beast she’s holding?”
“I noticed her from the moment she arrived, she’s been holding that pet beast the whole time. Maybe she’s just keeping it as a pet.”
“She’s Yuna’s friend, does that mean she’s also a student at Sainan High School?”
“But she looks much younger than Yuna.”
“She seems to be about the same age as Felice.”
Hearing the whispers, Qiao Sang looked up and hesitated.
“This doesn’t seem fair.”
She genuinely thought so. Since the rule existed, Felice obviously intended to showcase her newly contracted pet beast.
But any of Qiao Sang’s pet beasts were at an advanced level.
Fighting a beginner-level pet beast in front of all these people, it just felt like bullying.
“There’s nothing unfair about it.” Phyllis said with a smile.
“We’re the same age, it’s a good opportunity to spar.”
Same age, but not the same strength, girl… Tang Yi, after his initial admiration, now looked at Felice with sympathy.
Say yes! She’s practically begging you! Yuna whispered, “Qiao Sang, maybe you should just-”
Before she could finish, Qiao Sang cut her off.
“I’ll go up, but if the wild pet beast hasn’t hurt anyone, just chase it away.”
With that, she carried Yabao onto the stage.
Even now, she’s still thinking about this… Yuna blinked in surprise, watching Qiao Sang’s back with a complex expression.
On stage.
Felice formed seals with her hands and summoned her newly contracted Tear Bud.
Yabao jumped down from Qiao Sang’s arms.
The guests below whispered.
“That pet beast looks unusual.”
“Who do you think will win?”
“Probably Miss Felice, this banquet is for her, after all. Even if this girl could win, she should know her place.”
“What are you thinking? Of course Miss Felice will win! That girl treats her pet beast like a pet, carrying it around all the time.”
“Good point.”
As the guests chatted, Yabao's body began to grow until it was over three meters tall.
The hall fell silent.
Everyone’s expressions turned to sheer disbelief.
This wasn’t some weak beginner pet beast treated like a pet!
With a physique like that, it was clearly an advanced pet beast! And the aura, it was overwhelming even for an advanced level!
But the black-haired girl looked no older than Felice!
“Yabao” Qiao Sang called.
“Yap…”
Yabao gave a short cry, signaling he understood.
He looked at the tiny opponent in front of him, then opened his mouth.
A controlled burst of scorching flames surged forward, completely engulfing Tear Bud.
“Gong… Gong…”
When the flames faded, Tear Bud lay on the ground, unconscious, black smoke rising from its mouth.
Yabao shrank back to his Fire Fang Dog form and leaped onto his beast master.
Qiao Sang caught him in her arms and walked off the stage.
The entire battle had lasted less than thirty seconds.
Felice had stood there in shock the entire time, unable to say a word.
Sigh… I should’ve just stayed in my dorm and read my book.
Qiao Sang walked towards the banquet hall’s exit.
“Qiao Sang, wait for me!” Tang Yi hurried after her.
After a few seconds of silence, the guests swarmed around Yuna.
“Miss Yuna, which family is your friend from?”
“Miss Yuna, is she the same age as you?”
“Miss Yuna…”
“Yuna, come here.”
Not far away, Madam Mara smiled.
Mother… Yuna’s eyes welled up with emotion as she quickly walked towards her.
The banquet continued but for now, the spotlight had shifted from Felice to Yuna.

Qiao Sang left the Sfevo Manor.
Before she could speak, Yabao understood her intent, jumping down and shrinking back to his normal size.
Tang Yi summoned his Paralulu.
Qiao Sang climbed onto Yabao's back.
“We finally got out. Want to go for a stroll?” Tang Yi, sitting on Paralulu’s shoulder, asked.
“No, I still need to read.” Qiao Sang declined.
Read… Tang Yi’s mouth twitched slightly.
“Then I’ll head off first. I want to check out the pet beast arena.”
“Alright.” Qiao Sang nodded.
Paralulu carried Tang Yi away.
Qiao Sang finished setting up her navigation and was about to give directions when...
“Gang, gang!”
A voice came from the side.
Qiao Sang turned her head.
Oh? Isn’t this the pet beast from the bathroom?
“Are you talking to me?” She looked around, confirming no one else was there.
“Gang, gang.”
The little Steel Falcon nodded.
“What do you want?” Qiao Sang asked curiously.
“Gang.”
The Steel Falcon chirped.
Qiao Sang was silent for two seconds.
“Yabao, translate.”
“Yap, yap.”
Yabao translated.
Qiao Sang blinked, momentarily doubting her ears.
“You’re saying I’m a good person?” She asked, skeptical.
“Gang.”
The Steel Falcon nodded.
What the hell? Did I just get handed a good person card by a pet beast?
Qiao Sang’s expression turned bewildered.
