Chapter 1466 Lucky Valley
Pear Country, hotel room.
Qiao Sang opened her eyes, quickly washed up, and came to the living room. The first thing she saw was Xia Lala watering the flowers, while Xiao Xunbao was on the sofa, wearing a colorful wig, constantly looking at her phone and saying "Xun Xun, Xun Xun," as if she was live-streaming.
"Xia Xia."
Hearing the noise, Xia Lala looked over, gave a sweet smile, and called out as a greeting.
"Looking around~"
Little Treasure Hunter looked up and saw his Beastmaster. After greeting the viewers, he quickly ended the live stream, floated over, and eagerly called out, asking where he was going to play today.
Qiao Sang stepped forward, took the watering can from Xia Lala's hand, and while helping to water the plants, said, "They should be going to Lucky Valley."
Yesterday, when we were soaking in the hot springs, Teacher Michaela mentioned today's arrangements. I remember the location was called Lucky Valley.
"Looking around~"
After hearing this, Xiao Xunbao picked up his phone and eagerly typed in the three big characters "Lucky Valley".
Soon, the relevant content appeared:
Lucky Valley in Pear Kingdom is one of the most distinctive attractions in the kingdom, and has won the "Most Popular Scenic Spot of the Year" award for thirty consecutive years. Lucky Pupas live in Lucky Valley. At 5 pm, the Lucky Pupas will scatter seeds. It is said that if you can catch a seed from a Lucky Pupa, one of your heartfelt wishes may be granted.
"Search!"
Little Treasure put down its phone and barked excitedly, indicating that it wanted to go!
Qiao Sang smiled and said, "We'll go over after everyone wakes up and has breakfast."
"Looking around~"
Little Treasure Hunter grinned, then his eyes glowed blue, and he disappeared from the spot, reappearing in the room.
Qiao Sang had amazing hearing and could clearly hear the sounds of tongues licking cheeks coming from inside the room.
"Clear!"
Immediately afterwards, Qingbao's irritable voice rang out, along with the sound of a strong wind.
Qiao Sang put down the kettle and quickly went to the room. Sure enough, Qing Bao was glaring angrily at Xiao Xunbao. Various items were swept into the air by the strong wind, and the curtains were being blown wildly by the wind.
Xia Lala floated in, but was blown away by a gust of wind the instant she entered the room.
Qiao Sang reacted quickly and pulled Xia Lala into his arms.
"Search!"
When Little Treasure Seeker saw his Beastmaster, it was like seeing a savior, and he quickly teleported behind his Beastmaster.
Qiao Sang coughed and said, "Qingbao."
"Qingqing."
When the wind stopped, Qingbao looked aggrieved and cried out.
All sorts of items fell down at once.
A flash of white light, and Gangbao quickly caught and put the items away.
"Search."
Little Treasure Hunter barked once, indicating that it hadn't done anything, it had just woken you up.
"Clear!"
Qingbao looked angry and called out.
The wind blew the curtains.
Seeing that another strong wind was about to appear, Qiao Sang quickly changed the subject, saying, "Since everyone is awake, let's go have breakfast first."
The wind stopped.
Qingbao glared at Xiaoxunbao, then snorted coldly and drifted towards the living room.
"Search."
Seeing this, Little Treasure Hunter silently breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't wake Qingbao up with your tongue anymore," Qiao Sang said in a low voice.
"Search."
Little Treasure looked aggrieved and cried out, indicating that it was trying to wake everyone up quickly. Besides, when it used its tongue to lick and wake up Big Brother Tooth Treasure and the fourth and sixth brothers, their reactions were not as strong as the fifth brother's.
It automatically ignored the third brother, Lu Bao.
"You even know you can't lick Lu Bao." Qiao Sang raised an eyebrow, glanced at Xiao Xunbao with amusement, and then looked at Lu Bao, who had just jumped out of the water tank.
Lu Bao noticed the gaze and looked over.
"Search!"
Little Treasure Hunter was startled, waved its paws, and barked, indicating that it hadn't licked the other child.
Lu Bao gave it a "you tell me" look, glanced at it, and walked towards the living room with what could be described as elegant steps.
“Qingbao is a bit of a germaphobe, just like Lubao. Don’t lick it anymore.” Qiao Sang lowered her voice and continued the previous topic.
"Search."
Little Treasure pursed his lips and nodded.
"Teeth?"
At this moment, Toothpick finally came to its senses. It looked at the sullen-mouthed Little Treasure Hunter and barked, indicating what had happened.
Just as Xiao Xunbao was about to speak, Qiao Sang said:
"It's about Little Treasure Hunt waking you up with his tongue. Are you awake? Now that you're awake, let's go eat."
She paused for a moment, then added, "After we eat, we'll go to Lucky Valley."
Just then, Ya Bao's stomach rumbled.
"Teeth!"
Ya Bao instantly woke up, all sleepiness gone, jumped out of bed, and ran towards the door.
"Looking around~"
Little Treasure Hunter happily followed them out.
Qiao Sang smiled, picked up Xia Lala, said "Let's go" to Gang Bao, and walked outside.
Steel Treasure flapped its wings and followed.
"Tingting."
Tingbao, who had been quiet all along, watched his beast tamer's disappearing figure and remained silent for a moment.
Has their own beast tamer forgotten about them?
As the thought flashed through her mind, Qiao Sang poked her head back into the doorway and said, "Tingbao, aren't we leaving yet?"
"Tingting".
Tingbao's eyes lit up involuntarily, and with a cry, it twisted its body and flew away.
Lucky Valley.
A steady stream of tourists walked toward the entrance. Everyone was dressed differently, but whether they were humans or pets, almost all of them wore hair clips decorated with green leaves.
"Why is everyone buying this?" Qiao Sang, wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses, observed the tourists around her and asked.
“These are leaves from the herb-attracting sedum,” Michaela explained. “It is said that the lucky pudding likes the fragrance of the herb-attracting sedum. If someone carries leaves from the herb-attracting sedum, they will have a higher chance of encountering the lucky pudding and receiving the seeds it scatters.”
"So that's how it is." Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang walked to a nearby stall and bought several leaf hair clips. He then pinned them to the heads of Ya Bao and the others, as well as to his own head, and handed two hair clips to Teacher Michaela and Penjami.
Penjami paused for a moment, then took it and pinned it to her head.
Michaela smiled and took the hairpin, saying, "Why did you buy so many? We're all working together anyway, so one would have been enough. As long as Lucky Pupu is attracted, we all have a chance to receive its seed."
"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Qiao Sang laughed. "Isn't this increasing the probability of Lucky Pupu being attracted?"
After saying that, she asked curiously, "Can the seeds of the Lucky Pudding really randomly grant everyone's heartfelt wish?"
“It’s not that magical,” Michaela said. “The seeds of Lucky Pudding mainly increase the luck of people and their pets. Everyone who comes here has some wish that they want to fulfill. With a large number of people and pets, if one or two of them actually fulfill their wishes, they will post it online and then market it, and it will become more and more exaggerated.”
I knew it! If catching the seed really granted a random wish, you'd definitely need to book tickets in advance. Unlike now, even though there are a lot of people, you can still buy tickets if you show up. Qiao Sang thought to herself, "..."
"It would be nice to increase my luck a little."
She meant it sincerely, since there aren't many pets that can increase luck, and those with this ability are usually extremely rare and rarely seen.
After saying that, Qiao Sang seemed to remember something and asked, "Teacher, have you been here before?"
She remembered that Teacher Michaela had spent a long time on Tianyuan Star.
“I’ve been here before,” Michaela said, “but I didn’t see Lucky Pupu then.” The two, along with a group of pets, entered Lucky Valley amidst casual conversation.
Following the crowd, the further we went, the more plants there were. After about ten minutes, we stopped in an area called "Distinguish the Real from the Fake".
Many people and their pets lingered here, sniffing and touching the flowers and plants, seemingly trying to identify something.
The sign that reads "Identify my authenticity" also states "Use of pet identification devices is prohibited."
"Search?"
Little Treasure Hunter looked curious and called out.
"What are they doing?" Qiao Sang asked, equally curious.
"Some of the flowers and plants here are actually grass-type pets in disguise. If you can successfully identify them, you can collect a prize at a designated location," Michaela replied.
"Looking around~"
Upon hearing this, Little Treasure Hunter's eyes lit up, and it quickly floated inside, sniffing at all the flowers and plants.
Besides Lu Bao, Ya Bao and the others also entered the area with great interest and began to identify things.
“If it were a high-level beast tamer or pet, it should be easy to identify,” Qiao Sang said.
Unless one learns a skill like "Concealing Breath," at her level, she can still quickly recognize the energy and aura of a pet if she senses it carefully.
“It’s no big deal if they recognize us. They just give us small gifts, mainly to make things more fun,” Michaela said. “Some grass-type pets will even make noise when they see cubs or children to make it easier for them to be recognized.”
"Search!"
"Teeth!"
"Steel Power".
"Clear!"
As soon as they finished speaking, Ya Bao and the others each pulled out a blade of grass from the ground. The moment the grass was pulled out, eyes appeared at the base of the grass and blinked twice.
A grass-type pet hopped over and led them to claim their prizes.
"Tingting."
Only Tingbao was still diligently identifying the flowers and plants.
"Aren't you going to play?" Qiao Sang asked, glancing at Xia Lala beside her.
"Xia Xia."
Sharara shook her head and called out, indicating that recognizing whether it was a grass-type pet was too easy and that she didn't want to disturb everyone's work.
"That's true. Xia Lala can communicate with flowers and plants, so playing this kind of game is practically like having a cheat code," Qiao Sang thought to herself.
She led Xia Lala through the "Distinguish the Real from the Fake" area, unaware that whenever Xia Lala passed by, some of the surrounding flowers and plants swayed in the wind, eager to attract attention.
Nearby tourists noticed the swaying flowers and plants, approached and pulled them up. The moment they were pulled up, the flowers and plants revealed eyes and transformed into the appearance of pets.
Josan, Michaela, and Tooth continued to move forward.
Lucky Valley is vast, and tourists generally only visit the more bustling areas. The further in you go, the fewer tourists there are. It's not that people don't want to explore every area, but ordinary people and low-level beast tamers have limited stamina. If they were to explore every area, it would be no different from climbing a mountain ten times.
Josan and Michaela had no such worries. They arrived at an area full of tree fruits, where there were only a few people around, but there were still quite a few pets, most of whom were queuing to pay.
This area is called "Qian Guo" (meaning "money fruit"), where you can eat as much as you want for free as long as you pay.
"Teeth!"
Ya Bao pointed in the direction of the tree fruit and shouted excitedly.
Without saying a word, Qiao Sang handed over all the money for Ya Bao and the others, including Penjami.
The teeth and other creatures happily either teleported or flew up into the trees to eat the fruit.
Qiao Sang looked at Penjami, who hadn't moved, and asked, "Aren't you going?"
Penjami was about to answer.
Qiao Sang continued, "I've already paid."
Penjami paused for a moment, then teleported to the top of one of the trees.
Seeing this, Michael laughed:
"It's been a long time since I've seen Meimei not sleeping while visiting tourist attractions."
“We’re all out having fun, how can we sleep?” Qiao Sang said.
Michaela sighed, "You have no idea, ever since Mimi stopped training for the Star Cup, she can sleep almost anywhere."
Just as Josan and Michaela were talking, Sharara, who was picking fruit from a tree, twitched her ears, as if sensing something, and drifted off in a certain direction.
Along the way, many grass-type pets' eyes lit up when they saw it, and they extended invitations to play.
Xia Lala shook her head, refusing them one by one.
Before long, it stopped in a place where there were flowers of all colors everywhere.
Xia Lala's ears twitched, and then she looked at a spot of white flowers and moved closer.
"Xia Xia?"
Xia Lala called out.
The flowers and plants stirred, and a spherical pet, about thirty centimeters in size, mostly white, with grape-like eyes, suddenly poked its head out from among the white flowers.
"Xingxing?" The spherical pet looked curious and called out.
"Xiaxia," Xia Lala called out, her eyes crinkling.
For no apparent reason, the spherical pet felt an inexplicable fondness for the unfamiliar pet it had never seen before. Its eyes crinkled into a smile, and it let out a cry:
"Fortunately~"
"Xia Bao! Xia Bao!"
Little Treasure Hunter, with his eyes closed, was conducting a comprehensive search using a spatial teleportation-based positioning perspective.
"Teeth! Teeth!"
"Qingqing! Qing...Qingqing!"
Qingbao looked surprised and called out.
Not far away, Sharara floated over.
"Where did you go? You scared me to death!" Qiao Sang ran over and said anxiously.
Little Treasure Hunter opened his eyes.
Ya Bao and the others all surrounded them.
Michaela looked at Sharara and, seeing that she was unharmed, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiaxia."
Seeing everyone's eager expressions, Xia Lala looked embarrassed and called out.
"I'm glad you're alright." Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help saying, "You'd better tell me where you're going in the future, so I can go with you. Otherwise, since we don't have a contract yet, it'll be troublesome to find you if you get lost."
"Xia Xia."
Sharara nodded obediently and barked, indicating that it understood and wouldn't do it again next time.
Just as Qiao Sang was about to say something more, someone exclaimed:
"It's Lucky Pupu!"
Qiao Sang paused for a moment, then looked up in the direction of the person who had shouted. She saw a group of mostly white ball-shaped pets floating in the sky.
Wherever it passed, fluffy white, feather-like objects drifted down, like snowflakes falling.
"There are so many lucky people here." Michaela was pleasantly surprised.
You know, last time she came here, she searched for a long time, but didn't find a single lucky charm.
This is Lucky Pupu. Qiao Sang raised his hand and caught the feather-like object that was floating downwards.
"Xia Xia?"
Xia Lala looked up, revealing a sweet smile, and called out, "Your luck has increased. Is there anything you wish to achieve?"
A wish? Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment. Her first thought was that she wanted to participate in the Star Cup.
She then looked at Xia Lala, and something occurred to her. A second thought popped into her head: if it could really happen, she wanted to break through her brain domain as soon as possible and form a contract with Xia Lala.
At the same time, Shara stretched out her claws, caught one of the feather-like objects, closed her eyes, and made a wish in her heart: Xia Xia
It wanted to form a contract with Josang as soon as possible. (End of Chapter)
