Chapter Summaries

• Qiao Sang suggested Little Stone Man might be searching for water, so Yin Panling asked Rain Prayer Phoenix to bring rain to Flying Bird Island.

Qiao Sang and her pet beasts arrived in Jia Country, where she learned that Ghost Type pet beasts were common because the country had made its nights longer to accommodate them. After Qingbao’s energy reached the upper limit of the general level, it began evolving, leaving Little Treasure anxious about their changing strength and its future sparring with Qingbao.

• Little Treasure pretended to suffer after eating the Crystal of Curse, then provoked Qingbao into chasing it with a gale until it apologized half an hour later.

Qiao Sang discovered Qingbao’s new traits and skills, including Moon Glow, Infatuation, and Star Beam, then set Little Treasure to recruit Ghost Type pet beasts to help search for Hidden Ghost Grass. The next morning, she found thirty-nine reliable Ghost Type pet beasts in her room, gathered overnight by Gang Bao.

• Qiao Sang paired Gang Bao with Little Treasure, but Little Treasure’s leaking Curse Power made a nearby Bug-type Pet Beast flee in terror.
• Gang Bao brought Little Treasure back to Qiao Sang, who sent Ya Bao with him because Ya Bao’s Holy Fire could purify the Curse Power if Little Treasure cursed him.

Qiao Sang struggled to manage Little Seeker’s overflowing Curse Power while preparing to search for Hidden Ghost Grass, then arranged for Dance Luck Dodo to boost Qing Bao’s luck. After paying for a second dance to improve Little Seeker’s luck, Qiao Sang gave the Demon Rule Fruit to Qing Bao.

• Little Seeker’s uncontrolled Bad Luck Curse caused Jisidan to wake in fright, and Mikala explained that its Perfect-level curse could endanger nearby creatures.

• Qiao Sang explained that Fang Bao had quickly mastered the combination skill, then gave thirsty Shalala water while the arena was repaired.

Qiao Sang passed the A-Class Professional Beastmaster battle assessment after Little Seeker and Qing Bao defeated Lei De’s Pet Beasts, then collected her purple badge.
