It chewed a few times and quickly swallowed it.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Qingbao blinked, with no change in its expression or state.

"Does the Demon Principle Fruit take effect immediately after being eaten?" Qiao Sang couldn’t help but ask.

Mikaela paused for a moment and said, "It depends on what skill the pet beast uses as a basis for advancing its awakening. If it’s a basic-level skill, you’ll immediately feel changes within and discover that the skill has awakened."

"What if it’s a mid-level or high-level one?" Qiao Sang asked again.

Mikaela did not immediately respond.

"Momo."

Beside them, the Dragon King called out, indicating that their own Beast Tamer might not know, as she lacked experience in this area.

This... Qiao Sang pretended not to understand.

Dragon King... Mikaela’s mouth twitched, "The ability absorbed by each pet beast varies. If the basic skill level is higher, the awakening will be slower; it mainly depends on the pet beast’s own sensations. If a skill is awakening inside, the pet beast will perceive it."

"A pet beast that once awakened a super-level skill reported in an interview that it felt changes within its body within an hour."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang looked at Qingbao and asked:

"Do you feel anything inside now?"

"Qingqing..."

Qingbao sensed for a moment and called out, indicating it felt warm inside.

It seems the Demon Principle Fruit is working, but it should still take some time before the skill fully awakens... Qiao Sang thought.

"Grumble~"

Suddenly, the sound of a stomach growling came from nearby.

Qiao Sang turned to look.

"Yaya?"

Yaobao showed no embarrassment, staring at its Beast Tamer and calling out, indicating it was hungry, asking when dinner would be ready.

"Right now." Qiao Sang said, "But Qingbao still can’t eat, otherwise it might affect the Demon Principle Fruit’s effect."

"Qingqing."

Qingbao nodded, indicating understanding.

Qiao Sang looked at Teacher Mikaela and said, "Teacher, could you please take Yaobao and these spectral-type pet beasts to eat first?"

"You’re not coming?" Mikaela asked.

"I want to accompany Qingbao for a while." Qiao Sang said.

"Qingqing."

Qingbao showed a touched expression beside them.

Meanwhile, a gentle breeze blew through the room.

"I understand." Mikaela didn’t say much more and nodded towards Pen Jiami.

"Pengpeng."

Pen Jiami’s eyes glowed blue, then took its Beast Tamer and a group of pet beasts and vanished from the room.

Qiao Sang came and sat on the sofa.

"Xun Xun..."

At this time, the voice of Little Treasure Spirit sounded in her mind.

It was also hungry...

When a Beast Tamer’s level reaches a certain point, pet beasts can communicate directly with the Beast Tamer through the Beast Taming Codex.

Almost forgot Little Treasure Spirit... Qiao Sang glanced at Qingbao, stood up, and instructed, "Don’t follow me, I’ll first bring Little Treasure Spirit out."

"Qingqing."

Qingbao obediently nodded.

Qiao Sang went to the next room, closed the door, and formed a seal gesture with her hands.

A mysterious and deep purple Star Array instantly appeared.

Soon, Little Treasure Spirit appeared within the Star Array.

"Xun Xun..."

Little Treasure Spirit made a pitiful expression, calling out.

Qiao Sang coughed lightly and explained:

"The Curse Power on you is currently uncontrollable, which might affect the Demon Principle Fruit’s effect, so I had you enter the Beast Taming Codex."

"Xun Xun..."

Little Treasure Spirit sighed, calling out, indicating it understood.

"Go eat first." Qiao Sang said.

"Xun Xun?"

Little Treasure Spirit’s eyes glowed blue, but immediately thought of something, the blue light in its eyes faded, and it called out, asking what to do after eating.

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said:

"You can call me directly, and I’ll recall you to the Beast Taming Codex. If you don’t want to enter the Beast Taming Codex, you can head out with Yaobao and find Hidden Ghost Grass after eating. Once Qingbao has fully absorbed the Demon Principle Fruit, I’ll come find you all."

"Xun Xun~"

Little Treasure Spirit nodded, its eyes glowing blue, and disappeared from sight.

Qiao Sang opened the door and stepped out, only to see Qingbao enveloped in a very gentle pink light.

And within the pink glow, Qingbao seemed to sense something, looking down at its body with a curious expression.

Is it awakening already? Qiao Sang stared blankly at this scene, then realized, her eyes suddenly brightened.

She didn’t make a sound to disturb it.

After about thirty seconds, the pink light vanished.

"Qingqing!"

Qingbao looked at its Beast Tamer, showing a happy expression and called out.

It felt that some sort of power had awakened within it!

Sure enough! Qiao Sang was delighted, quickly saying, "Try out what kind of power it is!"
