Qiao Sang tried to stop Fire Fang Dog from delaying its evolution by terminating its endorsement contract, but Song Yuan offered to film the evolution instead. Fire Fang Dog finally evolved, revealing a form that was not a Blazing Fire Dog and leaving everyone stunned.

• Fire Fang Dog interrupted its evolution because it wanted to wait another half month, fearing it would miss an endorsement shoot, while Qiao Sang realized she could end the contract.
• Qiao Sang called Song Yuan to terminate the contract, but Song Yuan offered to film the evolution and waive the penalty if Fire Fang Dog evolved at the company.

• Little Treasure Hunting Ghost circled the evolved Ya Bao and told Qiao Sang it wanted to evolve too.
• Qiao Sang checked the Pet Beast Codex and saw Ya Bao's new name, Flame Listening Dog, along with its attributes, traits, skills, and stats.

Qiao Sang examined Ya Bao’s evolved form and discovered that it had gained the Psychic Type and several new skills, including the unfamiliar Tactile Power. She then found that Ya Bao could use Psychic Power to float around the cramped dorm room, giving it extra room to move and practice.

• Qiao Sang reviewed Ya Bao’s new form and learned that it had gained the Psychic Type, Phantom Flame, and Tactile Power.
• Qiao Sang returned to reality and was startled when Little Treasure Hunting Ghost appeared inches from her face.
• Qiao Sang worried that Ya Bao had outgrown the cramped dorm room, then asked whether it could float using Psychic Power.
• Ya Bao overused its Psychic Power and hit the ceiling, then quickly learned to control its flight while Qiao Sang and Little Treasure Hunting Ghost watched.
