Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, "Actually, Keguan-miao has only taken the first step. There is another very important step that requires a bit of hypnosis."
Wang Yiding immediately stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation.
"Keguan!"
Keguan-miao nodded with a determined gaze.
It wasn't hard to see that its attitude had changed significantly after learning teleportation.
"Little Treasure." Qiao Sang nodded to Little Treasure.
"Xun~"
Little Treasure understood instantly; with a blink of its eyes, they turned purple.
Keguan-miao closed its eyes uncontrollably. When it opened them again, it found that its voice had changed.
"Xun..."
At that moment, a somewhat familiar voice came from the front.
"That's not teleporting. If you clench your fist and hold your breath every time before moving, someone faster would have reached you long ago."
"Xun..."
Keguan-miao turned its head and stared blankly at the person speaking.
Five minutes later.
Keguan-miao slowly opened its eyes.
"Guan-guan, how do you feel about your learning?" Wang Yiding stepped forward to ask.
"Keguan!" Keguan-miao pointed with a serious expression to the crossbody bag behind Wang Yiding.
Wang Yiding paused for a moment and handed the bag over.
"Keguan."
Keguan-miao carried the bag in its mouth and came before Qiao Sang.
At this moment, Qiao Sang inexplicably recalled the scene when she first met Keguan-miao.
Back then, it had also placed a bag in front of her like this.
And inside the bag, there was money...
Thinking of this, Qiao Sang told herself to remain calm. She cleared her throat and asked, "Is this for me?"
"Keguan!" Keguan-miao nodded vigorously.
Qiao Sang looked at Wang Yiding.
Wang Yiding said very generously, "Keguan-miao wants to give it to you, so just take it."
"Keguan!"
"Then I'd feel bad." While Qiao Sang said she felt bad, her hands were very honest as she took the bag and opened it, smiling as she did so: "What do you have in this bag?"
As she spoke, Qiao Sang grinned and looked down.
She saw a bag full of... snacks.
The corners of Qiao Sang's mouth instantly returned to their usual curve.
At this time, Wang Yiding scratched his head and said sheepishly, "Big Shot Qiao, it's no problem that the food is yours, but could you give the bag back to me?"
Qiao Sang: "..."
...
Although Keguan-miao had successfully performed teleportation, it didn't have a "cheat code"; it was impossible for it to achieve a 100% success rate immediately after learning it.
Until the success rate improved, Qiao Sang still had to teach it—after all, she hadn't received the tuition fee yet.
11:12 PM.
After washing up, Qiao Sang returned to her bedroom, lay flat on the bed, closed her eyes, and entered the Beast Codex with her consciousness.
Although she had already checked it once during Little Treasure's evolution during the day, checking the Beast Codex before sleeping every night had become a habit.

【Points: 2221】
Just like when Ya-bao evolved, Little Treasure had gained three additional skills.
They were Shadow Ball, Illusion Beam, and Light Screen.
Since there was already a teaching disc for Shadow Ball, Qiao Sang didn't feel particularly surprised.
However, as Psychic-type skills, Illusion Beam and Light Screen—one for attack and one for defense—compensated for Little Treasure's lack of long-range attacks and insufficient defensive power.
Although Little Treasure knew Dark Shadow Control and Barrier, Dark Shadow Control could basically only be used for crowd control before its proficiency reached Mastery.
Furthermore, Barrier primarily defended against physical attacks, while Light Screen primarily defended against special attacks, perfectly filling the defensive gap. It felt very practical.
Qiao Sang flipped to the next page, looked at Shui Lu-yana's data for a while, and then her consciousness returned to reality.
Now that Little Treasure had evolved into a Treasure Hunter, the most important thing next should be considering Shui Lu-yana's heartbreak.
To be honest, having been single since birth in her previous life, she really didn't have much experience in this area.
People tend to overthink things at night, and Qiao Sang couldn't help but ponder.
If Shui Lu-yana liked Ya-bao more and more as she imagined, and Ya-bao rejected Shui Lu-yana, but Shui Lu-yana didn't give up, would that count as heartbreak?
For a moment, Qiao Sang fell into deep thought.
"Ya..."
At this time, Ya-bao's voice pulled Qiao Sang back from her thoughts.
She turned to look and saw Ya-bao with eyes closed and mouth open, smiling foolishly and drooling; it was clearly having a beautiful dream.
Shui Lu-yana's heartbreak should be easier than she thought... After a bit of reflection, Qiao Sang reached this conclusion.
...
Monday.
As soon as school let out in the afternoon, Qiao Sang asked Zheng Guoping for leave and headed straight for the Beast Center.
She first went to the first-floor lobby to update Little Treasure's information, then went to the third-floor mission hall.
"Hello, how can I help you?" the staff member asked with a smile.
"I'm looking for a pet beast that can call for rain and can stay with me 24 hours a day, preferably one that can stay by my side for ten consecutive days," Qiao Sang said.
"No problem." After entering the mission requirements, the staff member asked, "What is the reward you are offering?"
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, "One free treatment. As long as they aren't dead, any injury or illness can be cured."
The staff member's typing hand paused. She looked up and reminded her, "If the information you provided is false, your credit rating will be affected. It will likely be very difficult for anyone to accept your missions in the future."
Qiao Sang said seriously, "Everything I said is true."
*As long as they aren't dead, any injury or illness can be cured? Do you think your pet beast knows a Super-tier healing skill...* the staff member complained silently in her heart, but said nothing more and entered the information into the reward column.
She was just a heartless worker; having given the warning, she considered her conscience clear...
...
7:05 PM.
Tianjing Garden, Room 1705.
"Crack!"
Little Treasure struck down with a palm, and thirteen bricks of Brick Break split in half simultaneously.
"Lu lu."
Beside it, Shui Lu-yana used Healing Light on Little Treasure's paws, which weren't injured at all.
If a beastmaster who recognized Healing Light saw this scene, they would probably beat their chest in frustration and point at Qiao Sang, cursing her for wasting such a divine skill.
Although Healing Light was not a God-tier skill, in the eyes of some, there was no difference between it and a God-tier skill.
Qiao Sang gave Ya-bao a look from the side.
Her gaze was saying: "There are only a few days left, hurry up and use your charm to increase the affection."
Having been contracted for so long, Qiao Sang was quite confident in the tacit understanding between her and Ya-bao.
No words were needed; Ya-bao could definitely understand her meaning with just one look.
And that was exactly the case.
"Ya."
After receiving its beastmaster's gaze, Ya-bao's body stiffened. After struggling for a while, it walked toward Shui Lu-yana.
Qiao Sang looked with satisfaction at Ya-bao's back as it approached Shui Lu-yana, and she was just about to follow to see.
At that moment, her phone rang.
