Chapter 93: A Gift from a Friend
Chapter 93: A Gift from a Friend
Ye Ranran couldn't believe what she was seeing.
Who could tell her why Qiao Sang was on Yellow Bright Mountain?!
And what about the Fangflare that just knocked out Thunder Swift? It looked like it was definitely Qiao Sang's!
The scene before her was too much for Ye Ranran to process, and she stood there in a daze.
The middle-aged woman who had come with her jumped out of the Wind Carver and rushed to Qiao Sang, asking, "Child, did you call for help?"
Qiao Sang was still basking in the joy of Fangflare's successful kill and was startled by the sudden question.
She turned around to see a middle-aged, slightly plump policewoman in uniform.
"It's me!" Qiao Sang replied.
She hadn't expected anyone to respond so quickly to her incomplete call. In her previous life, such efficiency was unheard of.
The middle-aged woman breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the girl who had called for help was unharmed.
"Tooth!"
At that moment, Fangflare ran up to Qiao Sang, eyeing the newcomer warily.
"Where is Zhou Xian?" the middle-aged woman asked, glancing at Fangflare.
Drawing on her years of experience, she quickly assessed the situation.
Thunder Swift was unconscious, and there was another black familiar on the ground. Fangflare didn't belong in this level of battle.
There must be another Beastmaster on the mountain, one strong enough to fight Zhou Xian.
The blackened familiar must belong to that Beastmaster, who was probably still fighting Zhou Xian somewhere on the mountain.
They needed to hurry and help.
They might be able to capture Zhou Xian without waiting for backup.
Qiao Sang pointed to the grass behind her and said, "Over there."
Fangflare relaxed as it watched its Beastmaster interact with the newcomer.
The middle-aged woman was taken aback for a moment before quickly becoming alert and looking behind her.
When she saw the man lying on the ground with two lumps on his head and his hands tied with what looked like shoelaces, she was stunned.
This is Zhou Xian?!
The middle-aged woman took a deep breath and quickly approached, crouching down to examine him closely.
Despite the man's current disheveled state, his usually handsome face was unmistakable.
It was really Zhou Xian!
The middle-aged woman was shocked.
Why was he unconscious? What were those lumps on his head? And why did the bindings look so much like shoelaces?
She had imagined countless scenarios on the way here, but this was the last thing she expected!
At that moment, Ye Ranran walked over, her expression odd, and asked, "Qiao Sang, why are you on this mountain? Did you encounter anyone? And why was your Fangflare fighting Thunder Swift?"
Qiao Sang turned and was surprised to see Ye Ranran. "Sister Ran Ran, you're here too?"
There were too many questions, and Qiao Sang didn't know which to answer first. Right now, the most important thing wasn't answering questions.
"I'll explain later", Qiao Sang said, then turned to look at the Stone Helmet Spirit on the ground.
The most important thing was that there was still a kill to claim!
"Stone Helmet."
The Stone Helmet Spirit let out a weak cry.
It had deeply regretted its actions after seeing Thunder Swift fall.
How did things get to this point? What was the reason for their internal conflict?
That's right.
It was all because of the human in front of them.
It was all because of this hateful human!
The Stone Helmet Spirit glared at Qiao Sang and fainted from a heart attack.
In its fading consciousness, it vaguely heard someone calling its name in distress.
Master...
"Stone Helmet Spirit!" Qiao Sang cried out in anguish.
Her Points!
Ye Ranran, standing nearby, was stunned for a moment. The Stone Helmet Spirit? Zhou Xian’s familiar? That lump of coal?!
"Ah Sang, what’s going on here?" Ye Ranran asked, her face showing a mix of confusion and disbelief.
The middle-aged woman heard this and turned to look.
Although she was surprised that Ye Ranran knew this girl, it was clear that now was not the time to dwell on such trivial matters.
The middle-aged woman fixed her gaze on Qiao Sang, waiting for her answer.
Qiao Sang, having recovered from the shock of Stone Helmet Spirit fainting before she could pick up the head, began to recount the events. There was no reason to hide anything.
When the other police officers arrived, they saw the department’s flower and the old-timers standing there with their mouths agape, looking like fools.
The arrest of the Silver-tailed Seasnake was surprisingly easy. When they found it, it was snoring just like its owner.
...
"Ah Sang, you need to come to the Police Station to make a statement", Ye Ranran said with a smile. "Your luck is really something. When you get home, tell Third Aunt and the others. They’ll be scared to death."
Qiao Sang nodded; this wasn’t the first time she had to make a statement.
"I need to go home first. My bag is still there", Qiao Sang said.
"Why do you need your bag? It’s just a statement. I’ll drive you home after we’re done", Ye Ranran said, patting Qiao Sang’s shoulder with a smile.
Qiao Sang paused and then said seriously, "I didn’t remember the account number. My bank card is in my bag."
"What do you need your bank card for?" Ye Ranran asked curiously.
Qiao Sang didn’t speak, just met her gaze silently.
Sometimes, silence speaks louder than words.
A moment later.
Ye Ranran: "!!!"
She finally realized what Qiao Sang meant and stared at her in shock, speechless.
What the heck, her cousin, who just graduated from junior high, was about to become a millionaire?!
As they were about to leave Yellow Bright Mountain, Qiao Sang suddenly asked Ye Ranran, who was still in a daze, "Do you have any snacks?"
Ye Ranran, confused, replied, "What snacks? What to eat? What kind of snacks?"
Qiao Sang: "……"
"Do you have any snacks on you?" Qiao Sang asked again.
"I’m on a diet, so I don’t carry snacks", Ye Ranran replied, then paused. "Mainly because I’m poor."
Qiao Sang: "……"
She had wanted to give Magnetmouse something to eat as a farewell, but all the food she had was in the Treasure Seeker’s Ring. Given the Treasure Seeker’s current state, it probably wouldn’t hear her if she spoke. After they went down the mountain, she would need to take the Treasure Seeker to the Beastmaster Center for a check-up.
Qiao Sang looked around but didn’t see the Magnetmouse mother and son who had been there all along.
"Yah!" Fangflare suddenly barked at something.
Qiao Sang followed the direction of the bark and saw two yellow heads, one large and one small, peeking out from a patch of grass, looking at her.
When Qiao Sang looked over, the two Magnetmice smiled at her in a friendly manner, and the smaller one pushed a green fruit out of the grass with its tiny yellow paw.
It was a Powerberry.
Qiao Sang was taken aback, then walked over and picked up the Powerberry.
She parted the grass, but the two Magnetmice were gone.
Qiao Sang stood there, lost in thought, holding the Powerberry.
At that moment, Ye Ranran walked over and said in surprise, "Did you pick this up from the ground? I remember the Powerberry tree is quite far from here."
Qiao Sang snapped out of her reverie and smiled. "No, a friend gave it to me."
