Chapter 97: Blissful Scene

"Did you feel it?" Qiao Sang asked.

Fire Fang Dog was taken aback, looking down at the water that had spilled on the ground and the droplets still clinging to its paws.

After staring for a while, its eyes widened.

It turned out that the water ball breaking wasn't an accident; it was Qiao Sang's intention to let it feel the energy inside!

"Fang!"

Fire Fang Dog nodded seriously.

It felt it!

Qiao Sang felt a bit guilty. She had only intended for Fang Bao to take a look at the water ball, but the increase in points had made its claws much sharper.

She would have to trim them later, as Fang Bao didn't have any skills related to its claws.

"It's good that you felt it. The energy ball is like this: it's fine if you don't touch it, but once you do, the energy inside will explode." Qiao Sang took the opportunity to explain, "What we need to do now is form this energy ball."

Fire Fang Dog, after hearing this, was eager to try. It started to sense the energy within its body and was about to begin the experiment.

"Don't practice in the room! Have you forgotten about the TV?" Qiao Sang shouted in alarm.

After spending so much time with Fang Bao, she could tell from its expression and the restrained claws what it was about to do.

"Fang."

Fire Fang Dog stopped its actions, looking embarrassed.

It had really forgotten.

"This is different from the fire you produce by circulating energy within your body. You need to directly condense fire energy, and the most important thing is to make it solid and stable internally."

"Otherwise, the energy ball might explode on its own before it reaches the sky, and the uncontrolled explosion won't just create sparks." Qiao Sang continued.

In simple terms, the energy ball is a ball of condensed energy.

It doesn't seem hard to form.

However, to prevent the energy from leaking out and to lift it to a certain height, it must have a very stable internal structure, which is quite difficult.

"Fang!"

Fire Fang Dog listened carefully and nodded vigorously.

Qiao Sang was very satisfied with this.

Regardless of other things, its attitude towards learning felt like half the battle was won.

"There's one more thing to do before training," Qiao Sang said.

"Fang?"

Fire Fang Dog looked puzzled. What else could there be?

"Come over and get your nails trimmed."

"..."

...

After dinner, Qiao Sang was about to take Fire Fang Dog to Liu Gan Creek.

Just as they stepped out of the door, a Sky Pig with a green backpack and grayish-white wings flew to the doorstep, panting.

It turned out that the F-grade energy recovery liquid and E-grade Fire Condensation Pearl and Focus Pearl she had bought had arrived.

Watching the Sky Pig put down the package and leave, Qiao Sang couldn't help but marvel.

It seems that pet beasts have an advantage in employment; who would have thought that pigs could deliver packages...

At Liu Gan Creek, Fire Fang Dog, wearing the Fire Condensation Pearl, began to try to condense an energy ball.

Qiao Sang found a spot and sat down cross-legged.

She reached up and took down the little Treasure Seeker, which was still clutching two tufts of hair, causing a bit of pain.

Qiao Sang put the Focus Pearl on it and, seeing the little Treasure Seeker still closed its eyes, began to worry.

Wasn't it supposed to be better after a good sleep? Has it slept too long?

It had almost been two days.

Qiao Sang poked the little Treasure Seeker's cheek, but there was no response.

She sighed and put the little Treasure Seeker back on her head.

In a place Qiao Sang couldn't see, the little Treasure Seeker instinctively clutched two more tufts of hair.

Fire Fang Dog was still trying to condense the energy, but each time it opened its mouth, flames came out.

Qiao Sang didn't play with her phone but watched quietly.

Watching her pet beast train was also a kind of enjoyment.

After the thirteenth failure, the fourteenth attempt produced not a flame but a small energy ball the size of a fingernail in front of it.

Qiao Sang's eyes lit up.

Regardless of the size of the energy ball, successfully condensing it was the first step.

The next step was to stabilize the internal structure.

As long as the internal structure was stable, the more energy it contained, the larger the energy ball would become.

"Fang!"

Fire Fang Dog was very excited looking at the energy ball in front of it.

It lifted its head and excitedly called out to Qiao Sang.

At the same time, the energy ball lost control and headed straight for Qiao Sang.

"Fang!!"

Fire Fang Dog was startled.

It immediately tried to use a skill to save the situation.

But as soon as it opened its mouth, it realized that using the skill would hurt Qiao Sang...

"Damn!"

Qiao Sang, seeing the energy ball coming, blurted out a curse.

Fortunately, the energy ball was only the size of a fingernail, and Qiao Sang tilted her head back 75 degrees to avoid it.

She avoided the energy ball's damage but suffered another kind of pain.

Feeling the pain from her scalp, Qiao Sang suddenly realized something was wrong.

When did the little Treasure Seeker start clutching her hair again?

And could it be so steady while sleeping?

But soon, Fire Fang Dog's call interrupted her thoughts.

"Fang!"

"Fang Fang!"

Fire Fang Dog ran up, looking worried at Qiao Sang.

"I'm fine," Qiao Sang reassured it.

"Fang."

Fire Fang Dog relaxed.

"But if you do it again, I might not be fine."

Fire Fang Dog: "..."

In the following training, Fire Fang Dog's focus on controlling the energy ball improved significantly.

Qiao Sang quietly changed her position and continued to sit cross-legged.

This time, she divided her attention equally between Fire Fang Dog and the little Treasure Seeker.

When she focused on her head, she quickly noticed something was wrong.

Her head would vibrate from time to time.

If she hadn't specifically paid attention, she wouldn't have noticed the slight vibration.

Qiao Sang quickly made a judgment.

The little Treasure Seeker's stomach was growling...

This little guy must be awake...

It was just pretending to sleep.

Qiao Sang picked up the little Treasure Seeker and opened its eyelids.

No reaction.

She tickled its armpits.

Still no reaction.

Good, it was a good act.

"Little Treasure, if you don't wake up, I'll have to take you to the hospital," Qiao Sang said.

The little Treasure Seeker didn't move.

"I'll come to get you when you wake up in the hospital," Qiao Sang continued.

This time, the little Treasure Seeker's eyelids twitched.

"Seek~"

In the next second, it opened its eyes, rubbed them with its paws, and looked like it had just woken up.

Qiao Sang: "..."

The little Treasure Seeker, seeing that Qiao Sang wasn't speaking, tried to please her by rubbing its head against her.

"Tell me, why were you pretending to sleep?" Qiao Sang asked.

Fire Fang Dog, hearing the commotion, stopped training and turned to look.

"Fang!"

Fire Fang Dog ran up excitedly.

The little brother was finally awake!

"Seek~"

The little Treasure Seeker, seeing Qiao Sang's questioning look, became nervous and blurted out everything it was thinking.

"Seek!"

"Seek Seek, Seek, Seek."

"Seek Seek."

It turned out that the little Treasure Seeker felt it had messed up.

It was supposed to lead the opponent away, but because it was greedy for food, it didn't know what happened afterward.

It was afraid of being disliked, so it didn't dare to wake up.

Qiao Sang sighed and said, "You're so young, why do you have so many thoughts? To me, as long as you're fine, that's enough. Besides, you did a great job. If you hadn't led the Stone Helmet Spirit away, I wouldn't have been able to do what I did later."

The little Treasure Seeker's eyes instantly moistened.

"These past two days, Fang Bao and I have been very worried about you," Qiao Sang continued.

"Fang!"

Fire Fang Dog nodded.

"Seek~"

The little Treasure Seeker's voice was tinged with tears.

"Are you hungry? Quickly drink the milk; I can hear your stomach growling," Qiao Sang said with a smile.

As if to confirm her words, the little Treasure Seeker's stomach growled on cue.

"Seek~"

The little Treasure Seeker blushed, forgetting to cry, and buried its head in Qiao Sang's chest.

Qiao Sang and Fire Fang Dog couldn't help but laugh.

In the sunset, by the stream, a scene of blissful harmony unfolded.
