Chapter 233: A Pervert Nearby
Chapter 233: A Pervert Nearby
The next morning, Qiao Sang got up and went to the bathroom to freshen up.
Just as she picked up her toothbrush, Treasure Seeker suddenly appeared beside the mirror.
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker excitedly shook the yellow Ring on its short paws.
Qiao Sang froze for a moment, instinctively looking at Treasure Seeker's head.
It was gone...
Qiao Sang took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.
"Did you use Ghost Flame to split the Ring into two?" Qiao Sang asked, her voice trembling.
Though the evidence was right in front of her, she still wanted to confirm it.
It was like a child holding a Tsinghua University acceptance letter, and the parents, after reading it multiple times, still ask, "You got into Tsinghua?!"
Qiao Sang felt the same way now.
She couldn't believe that Treasure Seeker, who had only practiced Ghost Flame for less than a week, had managed to split the Ring into two. Was this even possible?!
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker happily nodded, shaking the Ring.
With each nod, Qiao Sang's heart rate accelerated.
Genius!
This was a true genius!
She had never heard of any Treasure Seeker managing to split its Ring into two so quickly!
If talent could be measured in levels, this one would definitely hit the cap!
Qiao Sang suddenly thought of something and asked, "Now that your Ring is so small, won't it be unable to hold anything?"
Judging by the size, it probably couldn't even hold a bottle of milk.
"Xun~"
Treasure Seeker grinned, took off the Ring from its paw, and tossed it up.
The Ring quickly grew larger in mid-air, soon returning to its original size, which could fit on its head.
"Amazing." Qiao Sang gave a thumbs-up.
Good, good. She was almost worried that they would have to carry things themselves from now on...
"Xun~"
Just as Qiao Sang was about to continue brushing her teeth, Treasure Seeker called out.
"What's wrong?" Qiao Sang turned to ask.
"Xunxun~" Treasure Seeker spun around and then stopped, looking at its Beastmaster with an expectant gaze.
Qiao Sang was taken aback. "Do you want to Evolve?"
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker nodded happily.
Qiao Sang thought seriously. Now that Treasure Seeker's Ring had split into two and its Energy Level had surpassed the Maximum Energy Level, it was indeed time to consider Evolution.
With this in mind, Qiao Sang said, "Try to master Hypnosis. I think once you do, you'll be ready to Evolve."
Because Treasure Seeker couldn't Clone, its proficiency in skill usage was much slower than Fangy's, even though it practiced regularly.
However, its proficiency still steadily increased every day.
At the current rate, Hypnosis would definitely reach Mastery within a month.
Qiao Sang felt that having Treasure Seeker achieve Mastery in a skill before Evolving would better unlock its potential.
When Hypnosis reaches Mastery, Treasure Seeker's sense of achievement will also be significantly boosted.
Otherwise, if Treasure Seeker knew she could use the Golden Finger to add points for Evolution, it might slack off in training from then on, given its personality.
"Xun!"
Our own Beastmaster said it could Evolve, so it definitely can! Treasure Seeker didn’t doubt it for a second and excitedly called out.
Then, she teleported to the Courtyard to find the ants and immediately started practicing Hypnosis.
...
After breakfast, Qiao Sang, carrying a backpack with Aquariana inside, climbed onto Fangy and set off for school.
As soon as they stepped out of the Residential Complex, she saw a slender figure waving at her from a distance.
"Little sister."
When the figure approached, Qiao Sang recognized her as a white-collar worker who lived nearby. She had been part of the crowd that gathered to take pictures of Fangy almost every day recently.
Things only calmed down a bit after Treasure Seeker appeared.
"Xun!"
Treasure Seeker clearly recognized the woman and quickly took out a mirror and a pen from the Ring to touch up the cross-shaped scar on her face.
This time, the woman didn’t choose to take a different path. Instead, she hesitated for a moment, then approached Qiao Sang to warn her:
"Try to get home early after school lately, and don’t wander around randomly. There’s a pervert in the area."
Qiao Sang was taken aback. "A pervert?"
"Yes, a pervert. He’s a man, a bit chubby, with a face full of pimples. He hides in alleys and targets lone women." The woman shuddered as she spoke. "I encountered him yesterday, but he got away too quickly. If I had caught him, I would have taken him straight to the police station!"
"Thank you, I’ll be careful." Qiao Sang thanked her.
The woman chuckled. "If you really want to thank me, let me pet Flame Listener."
Qiao Sang: "..."
"Fangy."
Fangy looked exasperated.
Another human with designs on him.
Qiao Sang continued on her way to school, but after passing two streets, the sky suddenly darkened, and it started raining.
The passersby around her hurriedly covered their heads and ran.
However, they didn’t get far before they stopped in surprise, lowering their hands.
Qiao Sang looked ahead, puzzled. The rain only covered a range of about 6 meters, and she could see the end of it.
"Fangy."
Fangy, drenched by the rain, pouted and started running fast.
But despite the rain’s limited range, he couldn’t run out of it.
Qiao Sang looked up, even more confused. The black cloud above her seemed to have a mind of its own, following her wherever she went, which was quite eerie.
Li Songhai, hiding in the shadows, watched Qiao Sang’s movements intently. His eyes were bloodshot, clearly from lack of sleep.
"Chi chi~"
A familiar with a mostly blue body, a blue-gray belly, and black and blue wings called out beside him.
"Just a bit longer", Li Songhai said hoarsely.
He hadn’t slept for two days, and his nerves were on edge. He should have rested before making his move, but the anger from being deceived and the failure of yesterday’s stakeout made him want to get Aquariana and leave this place as soon as possible.
If the little girl took an umbrella out of her backpack or used it to shield herself from the rain, he would have Rain Swift dart out and snatch the bag.
With Rain Swift’s speed, the little girl would never catch up.
In the end, he was still a bit soft-hearted, only letting the little girl get wet for a while... Li Songhai watched Qiao Sang with bloodshot eyes.
The next second, his eyes widened dramatically.
He saw the Psychic-type Ghost-type Companion Beast, which he had mistakenly thought it was, take off the Ring on its claw and toss it into the air. The Ring quickly grew larger.
Then, the Ghost-type Companion Beast reached into it and pulled out an... umbrella.
Li Songhai was dumbfounded. "What the heck?!"
At that moment, Fangy’s ears twitched.
Qiao Sang opened the umbrella and looked up at the black cloud following her, feeling that something was off.
It seemed like the rain was following her...
Qiao Sang couldn’t help but recall the phrase: all Unnatural Phenomena are caused by Supernatural Creatures. Could it be that a Supernatural Creature was targeting her?
