Next day, early morning.
The first ray of sunlight passed through the glass window.
Qiao Sang, holding Shalala wrapped in a cotton coat and Yaobao, walked out of the room.
Just as they reached downstairs, the young owner came up and asked:
"Are you leaving now?"
Qiao Sang responded with a "hmm."
Hearing this, the young man yelled in the direction of the kitchen, "Heartless!"
"Lengleng."
Before long, Cold Hearted Frog hurriedly came over holding a lunch box.
The young man took the lunch box and handed it over, saying, "This is the food I’ve prepared for you."
After speaking, his expression became solemn, "Make sure you come back safely."
Originally, there was no feeling, but once said, it felt like they were going to a very dangerous place... Qiao Sang, holding Shalala, without extra hands, signaled Little Treasure Spirit to take the lunch box with her eyes, and said:
"Thank you."
At this moment, Mikaela came down from upstairs and said:
"Let’s go."
Watching the two guests leave, the young man’s eyes were filled with hidden worry, asking, "Heartless, do you think they can find Cold Blood?"
"Lengleng."
Cold Hearted Frog waved its paw and croaked, indicating it didn’t know, and then turned back to the kitchen to continue working.
Sometimes being naturally heartless can be considered a good thing... The young man watched Cold Hearted Frog’s back, his eyes filled with sadness and loneliness.
...
The two, along with the pet beasts, teleported to Ice Island.
The surrounding cold qi surged, covered with white frost. Compared to the previous Ice Island, apart from fewer people and pet beasts, there was no noticeable difference.
Qiao Sang looked around and asked:
"How do we find the Ice Dissolving Crystal?"
"Search around the sea surface." Mikaela said leisurely, "The formation of the Ice Dissolving Crystal meets three conditions: first, extremely low temperatures; second, the high pressure of the deep ocean; third, during its formation, it requires continuous Ice Energy emanating from surrounding Ice-type pet beasts. Under such conditions, it will only appear deep in the sea."
"Either we dive to the seabed to search, or we look along the sea surface. Sometimes the Ice Dissolving Crystal deep in the sea might appear on the sea surface due to upwelling or some pet beast, carried to the shore by water currents."
"For the former, only your Ice Emperor Ram can do it here. This sea is different from ordinary seas; the temperature below is extremely low. Even some lower-level Ice-type pet beasts may not endure the cold qi inside, let alone dive to the seabed, so it’s best to search around the sea surface."
Although Teacher Mikaela didn’t say it, Qiao Sang still inexplicably felt she was worried Shalala could not withstand the underwater temperature, hence suggesting the second plan.
She glanced at Shalala, fully armed and seeking warmth by retracting her head into the down jacket, and agreed:
"Then let’s search around the sea surface."
"Ice Emperor."
As soon as the words were spoken, Lubao, who was usually quiet, proactively called out once, indicating it could search the seabed by itself.
"No." Qiao Sang refused without thinking:
"Have you forgotten what the inn owner said yesterday? Some pet beasts have been disappearing frequently here lately, possibly because of the Emperor-level Ice Spirit. What if you encounter the Ice Spirit at the seabed? You must act with us."
"Ice Emperor."
Lubao felt a warmth in its heart and nodded.
Qiao Sang searched for a photo of the Ice Dissolving Crystal and showed it to Yaobao and the others, and they headed to the beach, starting to search around.
"Ting Ting!"
After searching for only a short while, Little Tingbao shouted excitedly on Yaobao’s back, indicating it found something!
"Where?" Qiao Sang’s eyes lit up, hurrying over.
"Ting Ting."
Little Ting Dragon pointed with its tail at a crystal on the ground, indicating it was here.
Following its direction, Qiao Sang saw a piece of ice with a mirror-like smooth surface and fell silent.
"Qingqing..."
Qingbao floated over, interested at first and then leaving speechlessly.
"Xun Xun?"
