1206. Chapter 1201: Lifting the Curse
“Where are you now?” Qiao Sang asked.
“No. 186 Xindao Street, second floor. Right, right here, at the location listed in the mission details…” the person on the other end of the speaker said weakly.
“Okay, I’ll be there right now,” Qiao Sang said, hanging up.
Navigation, positioning. Little Xunbao’s eyes glowed blue.
Soon, the group of figures vanished from their original location.
No. 186 Xindao Street.
Qiao Sang, Yabao, and the others appeared out of thin air.
People and pets walking around looked over.
“Qingqing…”
Qingbao cried out with a look of loss. Its clone, unable to be controlled, vanished.
“That’s normal. It’s the first time you control it from a distance,” Qiao Sang consoled. “Besides, Little Xunbao just teleported, and we were suddenly quite far away. Once you get used to it, it won’t be like this again.”
“Ya Ya,”
Yabao nodded in agreement.
Indeed, it had often been unable to control its clone from a distance before.
“Qingqing,”
Qingbao felt relieved.
In its view, Yabao was the strongest in the team, and since it hadn’t been able to control him before, its inability to control its clones was normal, not due to a lack of talent.
“You can frequently activate your clones, allowing them to act separately from your original body, even without training,” Qiao Sang said. “Like now, your original body is accompanying us on missions, while your clones can wander freely outside.”
Activating clones to act separately from your original body—isn’t that training?… Gangbao silently glanced at his beastmaster.
Qiao Sang remained expressionless, pretending not to hear Gangbao’s thoughts.
“Qingqing.”
Qingbao’s eyes lit up, and he immediately activated two clones again.
Wandering around—that sounded much easier than training the clones.
Under Qingbao’s control, the two identical Qingyun Nanais quickly took action, floating toward the intersection.
“Xunxun~”
Little Xunbao saw this, sidling up to his beastmaster and calling out as the two Qingyun Nanais vanished.
It felt like its doubles weren’t capable of long-distance movement, and it felt it needed more training in that area.
After saying this, he pricked up his ears, awaiting his Beastmaster’s response.
Qiao Sang instantly saw through his thoughts and said calmly,
“Then, from now on, when you go out, have your double stay behind to train. If you feel the distance isn’t enough for long-distance training, have your double find a farther location to train.”
Little Xunbao: “!!!”
That wasn’t the answer he wanted!
Qingbao was struggling to control his clone, rarely not gloating beside him.
Qiao Sang didn’t linger, carrying Xia Lala and Ya Bao up to the second floor.
“Knock knock!”
Reaching the hallway, she knocked on the door.
A few seconds later, it opened, and there was no one on the other side.
Where was that person? Qiao Sang stared inside, stunned.
Then, a hand reached up from below:
“Help, help me…”
Qiao Sang looked down and saw a man with dark circles under his eyes, his hand outstretched, lying weakly on the ground.
She was startled and subconsciously took a step back, quickly shouting,
“Yabao!”
“Yabao!”
Yabao screamed, then opened his mouth impatiently and sprayed a golden flame at the human lying on the ground.
The man’s pupils shrank slightly, but he didn’t dodge.
He no longer had the strength to dodge, and could only watch helplessly as the flames erupted upon him.
Ah, so warm… The man lay weak, his mind hazy.
Slowly, his eyes closed.
When the golden flames faded, Qiao Sang saw the man smiling, his face peacefully asleep.
“Xunxun!”
Little Xunbao’s eyes lit up at the sight, and he cried out excitedly, signaling the curse was lifted!
Then, he looked at his elder brother, Yabao, with admiration.
He remembered how, when he first arrived on Yantian Star, he had fought a difficult battle with the curse-bringer to lift a similar curse. It was nothing like this, where all it took was a single fire move from Yabao.
“Ya Ya?”
Yabao cried out, his expression puzzled. Was the curse lifted?
“Can’t you feel it?” Qiao Sang asked.
“Ya Ya,”
Yabao shook his head.
“This man is cursed and can’t sleep. The fact that he can sleep now means the curse is lifted,” Qiao Sang said.
Yabao gave a look of “I see!”, now realizing what kind of curse it had lifted.
Qiao Sang didn’t leave immediately. Instead, she pondered for a moment and said,
“Logically, you should be able to sense the power of the curse within the opponent, then control your Sacred Fire to lift it. During the lifting process, you can sense whether the curse within the opponent has weakened or disappeared.”
Although she didn’t have detailed information on the Sacred Fire, the primary effect was the same as purification, so the curse lifting process should also follow the purification process.
“When you do the next mission, when you cast Sacred Fire, sense the power of the curse within the opponent,” Qiao Sang continued.
“Yabao!”
Yabao nodded.
…
Two minutes later, under a bridge by a river.
A man, disheveled and with clothes that looked like they hadn’t been washed in ages, wept bitterly outside his sleeping bag.
“Six days ago, I was cursed by a ghost-type pet. The morning of the curse, I was nearly hit to death by a running pet. I returned home for lunch to find a thief had broken into my house and stolen something. I finally finished a statement at the police station, but then went back to work that afternoon to be told I was fired.”
“The next day, I was trying to relax and go skateboarding, but I ended up crashing into a railing. Half my face is swollen, I knocked out half a tooth, I have a mouth ulcer, and my leg is lame.”
“On the third day, I was scammed out of all my savings.”
“On the fourth day, my pet was challenged to a battle on the way home and was seriously injured. It’s still lying at the Beast Taming Center.” “
On the fifth day…”
the man tearfully recounted his recent misery.
Isn’t this a bad luck curse? Qiao Sang and Gang Bao both silently glanced at Xiao Xunbao.
Xiao Xunbao blinked.
After the man finished telling his story, he said with a pleading look:
“Boss! Save me!”
Although the boss in front of him looked like a girl, he knew from the information sent by the Beast Taming Center that the other party was a B-level Beast Tamer, a real boss-level figure.
“I know.” Qiao Sang said, and nodded to Yabao.
“Ya Ya!”
Yabao shouted, opened his mouth, and sprayed a golden flame at the man.
Seeing that it was a fire-type pet attacking him with flames, the man’s pupils shrank suddenly, and he wanted to run away, but he couldn’t dodge at all.
“Ah…”
The golden flames attacked the man’s body, and he screamed subconsciously, but the next second, the scream stopped abruptly.
Huh? Why isn’t it hot?
