Chapter 859: Chapter 740: Withering (Two in One)_3 Chapter 859: Chapter 740: Withering (Two in One)_3 “Thank you,” Qiao Sang said as she picked up the book from the tray and approached the checkout counter. “I would like to borrow this book.”

The staff member looked up, glanced at the cover of the book, and said, “One point per day.”

I still have over 400 points… Qiao Sang casually pulled out her student card. “Okay.”

After leaving the library, Qiao Sang checked the time on her phone and then turned to Xiao Xunbao.

“Xun Xun~”
Before she could speak, Xiao Xunbao understood and its eyes lit up with a blue glow.

Qiao Sang’s vision went dark.

The next second, she found herself in the living room of the villa.

The rich aroma of food hit her nostrils.

Qiao Sang looked toward the dining table to find steaming dishes and several plates of Energy Pills.

Vice principal… I already ate dinner… Qiao Sang was silent for a moment before she approached the dining table and picked up the chopsticks.

“Ya Ya!”

“Xun Xun~”
Yaobao and Xiao Xunbao rushed to the side of the Energy Pills and happily began to eat.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang put down her chopsticks and made a Seal Gesture, summoning Gangbao.

“Bing’ai.”

At that moment, Lubao called out, wondering if going for Healing Light would interfere with its training time.

“Not at all,” Qiao Sang placed Gangbao’s share of Energy Pills in front of it and said, “Your Healing Light has already reached Mystique. Healing is just a moment’s effort, very quick.”

“Bing’ai?”

Lubao hesitated, wearing a puzzled expression.

Is money really that important?

“Of course,” Qiao Sang patiently answered. “With money, you guys can have better resources to grow quickly.”

“Bing’ai.”

Lubao nodded, understanding at last, then went to the Energy Pills and started eating.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

“Gangzhan.”

Gangbao habitually moved to open the door.

Qiao Sang stopped it, “You guys eat, I’ll get it.”

Saying so, she went to open the door.

Standing at the door was Principal Virginia of the School of Journalism.

“Good evening,” Principal Virginia walked in with a smile.

“Good evening,” Qiao Sang said, glancing outside. “Isn’t senior Ivena coming?”

“I sent her to attend to her own tasks,” Principal Virginia explained as she stepped inside. “She just became a graduate student and has a lot on her plate, handling Ghost Ring King and…”

She fell silent suddenly.

Principal Virginia looked at the Ghost Ring King, which was covered in mysterious white Spirit Marks, and raised her eyebrows slightly. “It seems like Dean Li from the Spirit Rune Academy has been here.”

What’s special about the Spirit Marks Dean Li did that she could tell at a glance… Qiao Sang murmured an acknowledgment.

“I attended a Spirit Mark club activity after school this afternoon; he was there.”

Principal Virginia didn’t clarify Dean Li’s intentions but instead asked,
“Did Principal Gilbert from your academy come looking for you?”

Qiao Sang shook her head. “No.”

A flash of confusion crossed Principal Virginia’s eyes.

That’s odd. It should be Principal Gilbert who most wants to keep Qiao Sang at his academy, so why hasn’t he made a move…

…

Late at night.

Xiao Xunbao’s eyes shone with a blue light, intensely fixed on the black flower on the coffee table.

In the dim living room, the Spirit Marks on its body emitted a faint white glow.

“Chan Chan?”

Suddenly, a Chan Chan Stone next to it moved Xiao Xunbao’s arm, curious, wanting to know what the white markings all over its body were.

“Xun Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao was startled, its eyes returning to their original golden color, and it gave the Chan Chan Stone a “don’t touch me” look.

This thing increases its comprehension, letting it learn Spatial Lockdown faster. If it wore off, it would be a disaster!

“Chan Chan?”

The Chan Chan Stone looked confused.

What is comprehension?

“Xun Xun.”

Xiao Xunbao pointed a paw at its head.

It’s what makes the mind sharper.

“Chan Chan.”

Chan Chan Stone looked skeptical.

“Xun Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao argued with it.

It’s true, it could feel itself almost mastering it!

“Chan Chan…”

Seeing Xiao Xunbao’s serious expression, the Chan Chan Stone slightly believed it.

Its eyes flickered, and it suddenly thought of something. It tiptoed into Qiao Sang’s bedroom and jumped onto the desk, picking up a pen and drawing several lines on itself.

In the water tank.

Lubao half-opened one eye, noticed the Chan Chan Stone’s movements, and then closed it again.

…

In the living room.

Xiao Xunbao’s eyes once again shone with a blue light, focusing intently on the black flower.

Confirm the surrounding coordinates… then connect them…

Xiao Xunbao recalled the human’s words and the demonstration by the Pet Beast earlier that night, the blue light in its eyes growing more intense.

At the same time, an invisible Barrier started to enclose above from around the black flower…

Just as the Barrier was about to close at the highest point, Xiao Xunbao showed a hesitant expression.

The invisible Barrier suddenly disappeared.

“Xun Xun…”

Xiao Xunbao didn’t give up, its expression becoming serious again.

The invisible Barrier once again began to close upward from around the black flower.

“Xun Xun…”

Xiao Xunbao was careful.

Seconds ticked by.

Suddenly, the black flower on the coffee table withered instantly.

“Xun Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao was initially stunned, then its eyes returned to their golden color, excitedly floating up towards the ceiling and spinning around several times.

A breeze came in from outside, causing the curtains to sway slightly.

The withered petals on the coffee table scattered around.
