"Did you sense it?" Qiao Sang asked hurriedly, delight showing on her face. "Really?"
"Xun Xun!"
Little Seeker nodded happily.
It had really sensed it!
"Yang Yang!"
"Yang Yang!"
Just as the words left her mouth, the Sky-Gazing Bird teleported down with the Doll, wearing an excited, worshipful expression. It cried twice, as if saying, I knew you could do it! You're so strong! You just learned this skill and you can already sense it!
"Xun Xun~"
Little Seeker basked in the praise, lifting its head and puffing out its chest with a proud expression.
It seemed the main reason Little Seeker had failed to sense the emotions from the Doll's other end wasn't that its proficiency was too low, but that the Sky-Gazing Bird hadn't directed its affectionate emotions toward the Doll... That made sense. Judging from when the Sky-Gazing Bird had come out, it had probably excitedly rushed out to look for Little Seeker after opening the delivery... Qiao Sang analyzed rapidly.
It seemed that even if someone or a pet who liked Little Seeker stayed beside the Doll, that might not necessarily let Little Seeker sense their affectionate emotional energy. They had to express their affection toward the Doll directly.
It was just like absorbing the Power of Faith. One had to pray and make wishes toward the statue before it could be sensed... It would still be better to verify this... Qiao Sang looked toward the Sky-Gazing Bird, which was frantically expressing its admiration for Little Seeker, and asked:
"I want to ask, does the Power of Faith you sense have to come from prayers directed at a statue? If people and pets who believe in you pray on the street or at home, without a statue nearby, can you still sense the Power of Faith?"
