Chapter 332: Is He a Beastmaster?
Chapter 332: Is He a Beastmaster?
"We're here." Wu Chang suddenly looked down and said.
Fangy was still happily walking in the air.
Ever since its Energy Level increased, and it realized it wouldn't run out of energy and fall from the high altitude, it had grown fond of the feeling of walking in the sky.
"Stop, stop, stop! We're here already!" Qiao Sang had to pat Fangy's back and say.
"Ya!" Fangy came to an abrupt halt.
"Is this a graveyard?" Qiao Sang turned and looked down, hesitating.
"Uh-huh." Wu Chang said sheepishly, "It's always stayed here, never left. No matter how I tried to convince it, it wouldn't go anywhere else. I couldn't do anything about it."
"I understand, it's just shy." Qiao Sang said.
As they spoke, the two of them had already landed on the ground.
It had to be said, the feeling of being in a graveyard was quite different from looking at it from the sky.
By now, it was already dark, and xenon lamps on both sides cast a yellowish-white glow.
It was unclear what the graveyard management was thinking, but graveyards already felt eerie, and they chose to use low-color-temperature, yellowish lights that only added to the atmosphere.
A cold wind blew by, and Qiao Sang instinctively wrapped her arms around her school uniform.
"Fangy",
Fangy's body tensed up, and it looked around warily.
"Don't worry, there are no ghosts here." Sensing Fangy's state, Qiao Sang stroked its fur to calm it down.
Although Fangy had gone through the terrifying Chamber and had become braver in eerie environments, it was still only relatively braver compared to before. It certainly wasn't to the point where it could grin in such an atmosphere.
"Fangy",
Under its Beastmaster's caress, Fangy's body gradually relaxed.
"Xunxun!" At that moment, the Treasure Seeker suddenly appeared, hanging upside down in front of Fangy and making a ghostly face with its paws.
"Ya!"
Fangy was startled and instinctively swatted down with its paw.
"Xun!"
The Treasure Seeker yelped as it was hit and rolled several times on the ground.
Qiao Sang: "..."
That's a naughty kid... Feeling exhausted, Qiao Sang walked over and picked up the Treasure Seeker.
"Xun!"
"Xunxun!"
The Treasure Seeker, with tears in its eyes, wailed loudly and pointed at Fangy, accusingly.
It was just playing around! How could such a big paw just come down like that!
"Ya!"
Fangy lifted its head, snorted, and showed a disgruntled expression.
That's what happens when you scare it!
"Xunxun!"
The Treasure Seeker buried its head in Qiao Sang's arms and cried even louder.
Wu Chang watched the scene for a moment and said, "Your Flame Listener and Treasure Hunter Demon are quite spirited..."
There was no need to force compliments... Qiao Sang was about to respond when the lights around them flickered, seemingly due to an unstable circuit.
The Treasure Seeker stopped crying.
"Fangy",
Fangy, which had relaxed due to the Treasure Seeker's antics, immediately tensed up again.
In the alternating light and darkness, a middle-aged man with glasses and slightly curly hair appeared beside a tombstone. His scholarly appearance seemed somewhat eerie under the lighting.
"Damn!"
"Ya Ya!"
Qiao Sang and Fangy both jumped back a step in unison.
"Xun..."
The Treasure Seeker looked embarrassed.
Its Beastmaster and Big Brother Yabao were both so timid...
"Uncle Zhang!" Wu Chang exclaimed in surprise at the middle-aged man.
As he spoke, the xenon lamps returned to their normal brightness.
"Fangy",
Fangy relaxed.
Suddenly, it made eye contact with the Treasure Seeker.
Fangy's body stiffened for a moment, then it puffed out its chest and tried to maintain its usual tough-guy demeanor.
Scared the life out of me... After confirming that the person was indeed alive, Qiao Sang let out a sigh of relief and walked up, pretending nothing had happened. "Is this your uncle?" she asked curiously.
"He's Uncle Zhang, the one I told you about who's been really nice to me and I wanted to introduce to you", Wu Chang explained.
Qiao Sang glanced at the approaching middle-aged man and whispered, "Why would your uncle come here so late at night?"
Normally, people visit their relatives' graves in the morning or afternoon when the sun is still up, not in the middle of the night.
Wu Chang was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head. "I have no idea."
By then, the middle-aged man had reached them.
"Wu Chang, I knew you'd be here", Zhang Rongtang said with a smile. "I made some dishes and waited for you, but you never came home. I thought you might be here, so I came to check."
After speaking, he turned to look at the girl beside Wu Chang.
When he saw the ghost-type companion beast in her arms, Zhang Rongtang's eyes flickered. "Who is this?"
"This is Qiao Sang, she's here for the competition", Wu Chang introduced her.
Zhang Rongtang knew that many students from other Beastmaster High Schools had come to town for the competition over the past couple of days.
He just hadn't expected Wu Chang to make friends with one of them so quickly and bring her here...
"Hello, Uncle", Qiao Sang greeted politely.
"Hello", Zhang Rongtang smiled. "You're a very pretty girl. Uncle made some food, would you like to join us?"
"No, thank you, I've already eaten", Qiao Sang declined.
"Fangy?"
Fangy walked up from behind, looking puzzled at its Beastmaster.
Eaten?
How did it not know?
Zhang Rongtang's pupils constricted as he saw the red and white familiar appear. He had something to say but then noticed the ghost-type companion beast. He paused, maintaining his smile. "I won't disturb you then. Wu Chang, come home early, or the food will go bad."
"Okay, Uncle Zhang", Wu Chang nodded.
Once Zhang Rongtang had walked away, Qiao Sang watched his small figure in the distance and remarked, "Your uncle seems to be really good to you."
From what Wu Chang had said, it was clear that this man wasn't actually his relative.
For someone who wasn't related to come over and cook, and then search for him in a graveyard just because he was late coming home... Wait a minute... Qiao Sang suddenly had a thought. "You didn't bring your mobile phone?"
"I did", Wu Chang said, pulling out his phone from his pocket.
"Didn't he call you?" Qiao Sang asked.
Wu Chang paused, looked at his phone, and shook his head. "No, he didn't."
Qiao Sang raised an eyebrow.
In a normal situation, wouldn't he have called first?
"Maybe Uncle Zhang didn't have his phone with him", Wu Chang explained, understanding Qiao Sang's implication. "He usually doesn't carry his phone, so I sometimes can't reach him."
Qiao Sang didn't say anything more.
Initially, this man had just been a minor detour. Her real purpose for coming here was to see the familiar that could boost one's luck.
If what Wu Chang had said earlier was just a guess, then his words had confirmed her suspicions.
The two of them approached a gravestone.
Wu Chang called out softly to the air around them, "Yunyun! Yunyun!"
Silence filled the area, and nothing happened.
Qiao Sang stood in front of the gravestone, looking at the spot where she had frozen in fear. She suddenly realized that this was the exact spot where Uncle Zhang had been standing earlier.
She then asked an unrelated question, "Is Uncle Zhang a Beastmaster?"
