• Fire Fang Dog began emitting a dazzling white light.

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.
