Chapter 221: Chapter 209: Starting School
Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment before she remembered that Yaobao’s second photoshoot had not yet been completed.
She had originally thought it would start in mid-August, but it wasn’t until now that she was contacted. If Song Yuan hadn’t called, she would have likely forgotten all about it…
Qiao Sang quickly picked up her phone and chose to answer: “Hello?”
“Qiao Sang, how’s the special training going?” Song Yuan’s voice came from the loudspeaker.
“It’s going well,” Qiao Sang replied.
“That’s good to hear. Oh, by the way, when do you have time recently? Our new autumn sunglasses have arrived, and I’m wondering when you’re free so I can arrange a photoshoot,” Song Yuan said, getting to the real reason for her call after the pleasantries.
“Is 6:30 p.m. tonight okay?” Qiao Sang asked.
“Of course, I’ll make the arrangements,” Song Yuan replied promptly.
…
6:42 p.m.
On the 18th floor of the Jinyu Building.
Inside the photography studio, under the spotlight.
“Perfect, just perfect!” the photographer praised wildly, aiming the camera at Yaobao wearing rectangular red sunglasses.
“Yaobao.” Yaobao raised his head, switching to another pose.
“Very good, stay like that!” the photographer exclaimed excitedly.
“This cyberpunk-style, high-tech pair of sunglasses has been custom made for the image of the Flame Listening Dog. What do you think?” Song Yuan asked with a smile, looking at the Flame Listening Dog wearing the futuristic sunglasses.
The shop’s designers nearly went gray trying to finalize the design of these sunglasses, all in order to capture the popularity brought by the Flame Listening Dog.
She had absolute confidence that these sunglasses would become a hit!
“They look great,” Qiao Sang sincerely praised.
Compared to the last pair of pink heart-shaped sunglasses, these sunglasses were a perfect match for Yaobao.
At the moment, everyone’s eyes were on the Flame Listening Dog under the spotlight, no one noticed the blue head peeking out from the backpack on Qiao Sang’s back, staring intently at Yaobao as well.
The reflection of Yaobao’s silhouette danced in the deep blue pupils of Shuilu Yana.
“Lulu…”
Who knew this little guy could look so handsome…
After the photoshoot was over.
“To celebrate the smooth photoshoot, how about we go out for dinner tonight?” Song Yuan suggested.
Qiao Sang was silent for two seconds before replying, “I already ate before I came over.”
Song Yuan: “…”
“Alright then.” Song Yuan paused, not insisting further, then she asked nonchalantly, “Are you short on cash?”
How could she possibly be short on money with a seven-figure balance in her bank account… Qiao Sang mumbled to herself, but she honestly replied, “Yes.”
Truth be told, that seven-figure sum was practically fiction; she was genuinely short on cash…
Though the balance seemed substantial, two-thirds of it were for the food expenses of Yaobao and Xiao Xunbao, the Treasure-seeking Ghost, and now there was Shuilu Yana to consider too. After subtracting various other expenses, there was hardly anything left.
Fortunately, she had a Golden Finger that allowed her Pet Beasts to evolve directly by adding points, without the need to buy evolutionary materials; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to afford keeping three Pet Beasts at all.
“What do you think about continuing to collaborate with us?” Song Yuan asked with a gleam in her eye.
“Sure,” Qiao Sang nodded in agreement.
Her collaboration with Song Yuan had been quite pleasant. When Yaobao evolved ahead of schedule, breaching the contract, Song Yuan didn’t take advantage of the situation. Qiao Sang had a very good impression of her.
Song Yuan took a deep breath, not expecting Qiao Sang to agree so readily.
Many Beast Tamers who gained a little fame and achieved some success would start looking down on others and increasing their prices on spot, but Qiao Sang remained the same as before, unchanged.
For a moment, Song Yuan couldn’t help but feel moved. A child who had just become a Beast Tamer was indeed different from an adult who had stepped into society.
While Song Yuan was pondering, Qiao Sang spoke up, “However, I have two conditions.”
“Go ahead,” Song Yuan said, her expression serious.
“First, even if the Flame Listening Dog evolves during the contract period, I hope it won’t matter,” Qiao Sang stated.
“Of course,” Song Yuan’s mouth curved into a smile as she promised, “You don’t have to worry about that. Frankly, I’d love it if you evolved during the contract period.”
As the latest evolutionary form of the Fire-Toothed Dog, the Flame Listening Dog’s evolution was also the center of widespread attention.
If the Flame Listening Dog could evolve during the contract period, then her online store would definitely make a sure profit.
“Second,” Qiao Sang said seriously, “I want more money.”
Song Yuan: “…Of course.”
Forty minutes later, Qiao Sang left the building with a contract worth a million a year, feeling completely satisfied.
…
The next two days went by as usual.
Yaobao’s resistance to dizziness had improved significantly; after spinning for half a day and stopping, it no longer felt wobbly, but it still found it somewhat straining to use Telekinesis to spin while simultaneously emitting a Flame Vortex, often running out of fire in the middle.
However, this was just because the Flame Vortex’s proficiency wasn’t high enough. As long as she raised the proficiency to Completion, the Counter-Protective Barrier would no longer have any issues.
Xiao Xunbao, on the other hand, spent three hours playing with the Virtual Helmet every day and mostly trained hurdles the rest of the time, getting onto the right track.
But Qiao Sang was quite troubled by Shuilu Yana’s situation.

She had nearly exhausted the online collections of celebrity Pet Beast videos from centuries past, yet it hadn’t taken an interest in any of them.
That Shuilu Yana had high standards was now confirmed for Qiao Sang.
…
September 1st, the day when all high schoolers started school.
Qiao Sang got up early, took a shower, ate a slice of bread, then headed to school with a backpack carrying Shuilu Yana.
School opening days were bustling with people, so to keep a low profile, Qiao Sang put Yaobao into her Beast Taming Codex.
Having spent the entire month of August in Shengshui Middle School, she knew the layout inside out.
She made her way through the crowd and arrived directly in front of the new student class distribution board.
She remembered Wang Yao had said that special admissions students were all assigned to Class Nine.
Class Nine…
Qiao Sang scanned the list for Class Nine, and after looking from top to bottom, she paused in confusion.
Why wasn’t it there?
Qiao Sang pondered for a moment, then a dead memory suddenly came back to her.
Right, her mother had mentioned when she called her for training that she’d been put in the prestigious class…
Qiao Sang looked towards the prestigious class list, and sure enough, she found her own name at number 39.
First Year, Class 1.
The prestigious class, meaning the key class.
All the students selected for this class had gone through rigorous screening: either direct admissions, top-ranked students from middle school exams, or the exceptional among special admissions.
In short, all those chosen were prodigies.
Qiao Sang had assumed that the brilliant students who made it into Shengshui Middle School’s key class would undoubtedly be sitting quietly at their desks, reading books they brought from home, waiting for the teacher to arrive.
But when she walked in, the classroom was in total chaos, buzzing with noise as everyone chased after their Pet Beasts, a complete disarray.
“White Sand Fox, stop running!”
“Damn, who owns this sand burrower! Why is it biting my little sand creature?”
“Green Meowmeow, hurry up and give back the glasses to whoever you took them from!”
“Mommy! A Dual-Headed Black Crow! Why do we have an evil-type Pet Beast in our class!”
“Can someone please take this chubby pigeon off my head!”
“Who’s Short-Tail Snake is this? It’s crawling on me!”
“Damn! Why did my hat suddenly fly off?”
Sensing something, Qiao Sang looked over, and touching her head, she realized it was the work of Xiao Xunbao…
