...Qiao Sang was silent for a few seconds before asking, "So, you’re saying the reason you imagine Yaobao stepping down from being the boss today is this?"
"Xun Xun~"
Little Xunbao nodded and then showed a "See? Aren’t I smart?" expression.
Qiao Sang let out a slow breath, rubbed his temples, and said earnestly, "Trust me, this kind of thing will absolutely never happen."
"Xun Xun?"
Hearing his Beast Tamer’s words, little Xunbao’s eyes instantly filled with tears, looking utterly crushed.
Qiao Sang said faintly, "Don’t tell me you never considered this possibility."
"Xun Xun..."
Little Xunbao instantly stopped crying and sighed heavily.
It had thought about it but felt it should focus on the positives.
Qiao Sang said, "If you want to practice exerting pressure, ultimately, your presence has to be strong. You have to feel powerful yourself first. If you’re always thinking that Yaobao and the others are stronger than you and relying on unrealistic fantasies to claim leadership, your momentum is already weaker by a mile. How can you practice pressure that way?"
"Xun Xun..."
Little Xunbao hung its head in discouragement.
Qiao Sang asked, "Do you dare to fight Yaobao and Lubao?"
"Xun Xun!"
Little Xunbao jumped in shock and shook its head repeatedly.
"Then you’ll have to muster the courage to challenge Yaobao and Lubao first," Qiao Sang commented. "To develop a strong presence, you absolutely can’t chicken out. Challenging Yaobao and Lubao doesn’t mean you have to win, but you need to have the courage to challenge them in the first place."
"Xun Xun..."
Little Xunbao paused for a moment before the realization hit it.
It suddenly felt filled with courage.
"Xun Xun!"
Little Xunbao clenched its fists, wore a determined expression, and shouted, declaring it was going right away!
"Wait..." Qiao Sang was about to say something but discovered that little Xunbao had already used Spatial Movement and disappeared before his eyes.
"..."
...
"Xun Xun!"
"Xun Xun!"
Ten minutes later, little Xunbao floated back into the room, completely scorched black and covered with bruises, crying its eyes out and blowing its nose in Qiao Sang’s arms.
Big bro Yaobao had beaten it too hard!
Why couldn’t he go easy just once!
And Lubao! Lubao wouldn’t even help heal it anymore!
Qiao Sang stopped his meditation, opened his eyes, saw little Xunbao’s state, and twitched the corner of his mouth. Then, a thought struck him. He closed his eyes again, entering the Beast Taming Codex, quickly flipping to the page about little Xunbao.
