"This... doesn’t seem very appropriate..." Yuan Jiewen was completely dumbfounded by the boss’s statement.
Peeing?
Here?
In front of two ladies?
"Can you tell us why?" Mikaela steadied herself and asked calmly.
She believed Qiao Sang wouldn’t propose such a request without a reason.
"Here’s the situation—I just had Yaobao use its Tactile Power to observe the scene from when you all were resting here..." Qiao Sang tried to keep it brief, explaining what was observed before concluding:
"I found that over the past week, everyone who came here to rest didn’t disappear without reason. At most, they faced attacks from wild Pet Beasts, which is normal—like what happened when we arrived. Everyone else was attacked, but only he was taken away by a wild Pet Beast. Meanwhile, that wild Pet Beast didn’t touch those who were asleep."
"I thought back on it, and the difference is that he peed under the fruit tree. It was at that moment that the wild Pet Beast in the Water Pond locked onto him."
Saying this, she looked at Yuan Jiewen: "So I want you to do the same and lure that wild Pet Beast to show itself."
Tactile Power, fruit tree, peeing... Yuan Jiewen tried his best to process this information. A thought couldn’t help but flash through his mind: Could Liu Bo really have been targeted by a wild Pet Beast for such an absurd reason? Just because of a pee?
At this moment, Mikaela spoke slowly:
"Most Water-type Pet Beasts prefer cleanliness, and fruit trees that bear Water Leap Fruit generally don’t require fertilization but instead need to be watered with water containing Water-type Energy to grow better. If the person you’re looking for was indeed targeted by a Water-type Pet Beast because he urinated near the fruit tree, it’s actually a plausible explanation."
Yuan Jiewen was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "I understand!"
With that, he walked to the fruit tree, preparing to unzip his pants.
It’s just peeing and then being targeted by an unknown wild Pet Beast!
Since the boss is here, and we’re already doing this—for the Healing Light and to make it out of this Secret Realm—he’d go for it!
Qiao Sang and Mikaela turned away in unison.
Soon after, the sound of trickling water followed.
"At what level is your Flame Kiru’s Tactile Power?" Mikaela glanced at Yaobao and asked.
Qiao Sang was slightly surprised:
"You know it’s a Flame Kiru?"
Few could identify Yaobao’s species without using a Pet Beast Identifier.
"Of course. When I recognized what kind of Pet Beast it was from afar, I felt assured teaming up with you," Mikaela replied nonchalantly.
No wonder... Back then, all her attention was on contacting Yuan Jiewen, so not hearing the sound of a Pet Beast Identifier from afar made sense... Qiao Sang thought nothing of it and replied:
"It’s already at Mystique Level."
Mikaela, hearing this, couldn’t help but sneak another look at Yaobao.
She had seen gifted Pet Beasts before, but they usually excelled in skills of a certain attribute, making progress particularly fast.
The main attribute of Flame Kiru was Fire Element. She remembered that several Fire Element Skills had been trained to Mystique Level and that it had even awakened Super-level Fire Element Skills.
She had assumed the Flame Kiru had exceptional talent in Fire Element-related skills. Yet unexpectedly, its secondary Psychic Series skills also exhibited extraordinary aptitude.
It should be noted that Tactile Power itself was a high-level skill in the Psychic Series...
"I’m done." Yuan Jiewen adjusted his pants and walked over.
"Did you see anything unusual in the Water Pond? Any wild Pet Beasts?" Qiao Sang asked Gangbao in her mind.
Most wild Pet Beasts instinctively target humans first, rarely being wary of the Pet Beasts around them.
Just as Yuan Jiewen was peeing, she had mentally instructed Gangbao to keep an eye on the Water Pond from above.
"Gangzhan." Gangbao responded in her mind, indicating that yes, there was something—a black shadow—but it hadn’t surfaced, so its specific appearance couldn’t be discerned.
That’s it... Qiao Sang continued asking: "Is it still there?"
"Gangzhan." Gangbao nodded.
Only then did Qiao Sang turn to Yuan Jiewen and said, "Let’s rest now. I’ll need you to stand watch."
Yuan Jiewen froze for a moment: "So soon? I haven’t even prepared myself..."
