"Yaa..." Ya Bao's mouth was forced wide open.
Qiao Sang leaned in for a look and breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, she had reacted quickly and moved fast enough—the tens of thousands of Alliance Coins were still on its tongue and hadn't been swallowed.
"Spit it out and give it back." Qiao Sang held Ya Bao's mouth open with one hand while pulling the Great Flame Sparrow's wing closer with the other.
"Yaa..."
Ya Bao patted Qiao Sang's arm with its paw, indicating that it could keep its mouth open by itself.
Understanding what Ya Bao meant, Qiao Sang let go with a relieved expression.
Obediently, Ya Bao held its mouth open and stuck out its tongue.
My Beast Master is really too poor...
"Flame!"
The Great Flame Sparrow indignantly pulled its wing back.
It was just some Original Fire Paste. Since when did it ever take back something it had given away?
"Um..." Watching Qiao Sang's series of actions, Wang Yao felt nothing but admiration.
Though it was already a contracted Fire-type pet beast, Qiao Sang had actually made it voluntarily spit out something that had already entered its mouth. If it had been her Great Flame Sparrow, it probably would have smacked her with a wing.
"What is it?" Qiao Sang turned to ask.
"Original Fire Paste takes effect when applied to the tongue. It doesn't need to be swallowed," Wang Yao explained.
Qiao Sang: "...!"
"Yaa..." Ya Bao maintained its tongue-out pose, looking utterly innocent.
Wang Yao smiled wearily. "It's fine. I'm used to it by now. Just treat this mouthful of Original Fire Paste as a gift from me to—"
"Flame!"
The Great Flame Sparrow immediately became anxious at those words.
"—from Little Flame to the Flame Listening Dog!" Wang Yao promptly corrected herself.
"Flame."
