Chapter 1016: Leave

Chapter 1011: You City (Two-in-One)

Mi Jiala opened the navigation, started locating, and then put her phone in front of Qiao Sang, saying, “Practice co-perception positioning with Ghost Ring King.”

Without missions or competitions, sometimes daily chores could still train a Yu Beast Master and Pet’s abilities at any time.

Qiao Sang and Xiao Xunbao simultaneously leaned towards the phone, remembered the route, and then closed their eyes.

Bystanders frequently turned their heads.

“Look, isn’t that Qiao Sang?”

“It seems so…”

“What do you mean ‘seems so’? It is! Look at that Ghost Ring King’s hair and rings, they’re golden. Only Qiao Sang’s Ghost Ring King is that color!”

“Holy crap! It really is! Why is she in our Zhiya District? Didn’t she just win the championship in the Zhongkong District yesterday?”

“Should we go up and ask for a photo?”

“Alright!”

The people around were eager to try.

Mi Jiala glanced at Qiao Sang, who was fully armed with a hat and sunglasses, then looked at Ghost Ring King’s hair and rings, falling into contemplation.

Suddenly, her vision went black.

When she opened her eyes again, she was already in another, more secluded location.

You City was quite far, and with Xiao Xunbao’s current ability, it couldn’t instantly move there.

Qiao Sang and Xiao Xunbao once again leaned towards the phone, preparing to confirm their current location.

At this moment, Mi Jiala said, “Wait.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Qiao Sang and Xiao Xunbao simultaneously looked up at her.

Mi Jiala slowly said, “This is Zhiya District. Ghost-type Pets receive a lot of attention here. Ghost Ring King is too conspicuous for the people here; with it around, people will almost certainly recognize you, so it needs a disguise.”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao’s mouth curved up as it listened, pretending to sigh.

It was all its fault for being too conspicuous.

Qiao Sang pondered, “Then just let Xiao Xunbao turn invisible?”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao stepped back, hugging the Pet egg, its face full of resistance.

It had finally come to a place where it was popular; it didn’t want to turn invisible at all…

“No need,” Mi Jiala said. “People recognize you through Ghost Ring King mainly because it’s an异色 Pet. Just change its color.”

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao quickly nodded, expressing agreement.

“Alright, then let’s change the color of the rings and hair,” Qiao Sang said.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Just as she was about to look for a nearby Pet styling shop, Xiao Xunbao handed the Pet egg to the left.

“Qingqing.”

Qingbao appeared on the right, floated to the left, and took the Pet egg.

Qiao Sang instantly understood Xiao Xunbao’s plan and gave up on the idea of finding a Pet styling shop.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao took off its rings, pulled out a pink afro wig from inside, put it on, then took out several pieces of cloth, wrapped them around the rings, and put them back on.

“Xiao Xunbao?”

After doing all this, Xiao Xunbao floated in a circle, asking if the disguise was perfect.

Mi Jiala: “…”

“Yaya.”

Yabao admired it for a moment, then nodded, indicating it was good.

“Ice Emperor…”

Lubao poked its head out of the backpack, glanced at it, and silently pulled its head back in, somewhat unable to bear looking.

“Qingqing…”

Qingbao used the power of Wind Transformation to support the Pet egg, freeing a claw to curiously poke Xiao Xunbao’s afro wig.

“Steel Sword?”

Steel Treasure looked a few times, then called out, offering a suggestion.

Should it also change the color of its body?

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao’s eyes lit up, thinking it was a good idea.

“No need,” Qiao Sang said. “This is good enough. As long as others don’t recognize you, it’s fine.”

Ever since she saw Xiao Xunbao’s styling for the Gorgeous Contest on Super Dormant Star, she had developed a certain tolerance for Xiao Xunbao’s image changes. This time’s styling, in her opinion, was much better than the one for the Gorgeous Contest.

Mi Jiala looked startled, turned her head, and showed a “Are you serious?” expression.

Qiao Sang didn’t notice Teacher Mi Jiala’s expression and instead said:

“Should Yabao and the others also change their outfits?”

Both Yabao and Steel Treasure should be easily recognized.

Lubao and Qingbao were fine, anyway, one stayed in the backpack, and the other basically used Wind Transformation.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Hearing its Yu Beast Master’s plan, Xiao Xunbao quickly took off its rings, ready to find some suitable disguise equipment for Big Brother Yabao and the others.

Mi Jiala quickly flashed through the scene of Yan Jiaoou and the others wearing various colored afro wigs like Ghost Ring King in her mind, her mouth twitching. She immediately said, “No need for such trouble. I brought some sense-dulling powder, which I can use for Yan Jiaoou and the others.”

Sense-dulling powder could reduce the presence of people and Pets. Even at close range, it would make people subconsciously forget their appearance. Qiao Sang had used this item when she was on Super Dormant Star, so she naturally knew what it was.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao also remembered the powder’s effect, showing a rather disappointed expression. It put its rings back on and took the Pet egg back from Qingbao’s hand.

Soon, Pen Jiami appeared out of thin air, extended its hand, glowed blue, and swiped forward.

The next second, the air in the swiped area rippled like wrinkles, and a visible, one-meter-long tear appeared in the void.

It was a black hole inside, with no bottom in sight.

Pen Jiami reached its hand in and rummaged around, then took out a bottle containing white powder and handed it to Mi Jiala.

The moment its hand came out, the tear automatically closed and disappeared, and the air returned to calm, as if the tear had never appeared.

Mustard Seed Space, a high-level Superpower System skill, could create a special space that could be carried around to store various items. The more proficient one became with Mustard Seed Space, the larger the space created would be.

In the past, Pen Jiami had performed it in front of her when Teacher Mi Jiala was handling luggage, so Qiao Sang wasn’t too surprised.

“Yes, this is it,” Mi Jiala said after a glance.

Pen Jiami disappeared, its mission accomplished.

Qingbao seemed to understand what was coming next and vanished with Wind Transformation.

Mi Jiala opened the bottle and sprinkled a little on Yabao, Steel Treasure, and Qiao Sang.

Then, she looked at Xiao Xunbao, who was wearing a pink afro wig.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao silently took a step back, hugging the Pet egg.

Mi Jiala moved closer to Xiao Xunbao.

“Forget it,” Qiao Sang, seeing that Xiao Xunbao didn’t want to use the sense-dulling powder, helped say, “It has already disguised itself. With its current appearance, others should already not recognize it.”

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao quickly floated to its Yu Beast Master’s side, nodding repeatedly.

That’s right, that’s right!

The purpose of the disguise was to be low-key, but this way, it couldn’t be low-key at all… Mi Jiala inwardly complained, but ultimately said nothing more and put away the bottle.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Seeing this, Xiao Xunbao breathed a sigh of relief.

…

Five minutes later.

The group appeared out of thin air in a bustling market.

Neon lights in red and dark purple were the main colors, with ancient and elegant Chinese-style buildings on both sides. Various small stalls lined the streets, and in front of each stall, besides a vendor, there was also a Ghost-type Pet serving customers.

The signboard at the entrance of the market read “You City.”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao looked at the Ghost-type Pets coming and going around, looking as if it had never seen the world.

So many Ghost-type Pets… Qiao Sang looked at the many Ghost-type Pets she had never seen before and couldn’t help but exclaim inwardly.

Zhiya District truly lived up to its reputation as the most popular and numerous Ghost-type Pet region in Dragon Kingdom. In other regions, unless there was a competition or convention related to Ghost-type Pets, it would be absolutely impossible to have so many Ghost-type Pets gathered in one place.

As far as the eye could see, the Ghost-type Pets had peculiar appearances, and many were styled. Xiao Xunbao, wearing a pink afro wig, was not particularly conspicuous among them.

Mi Jiala’s gaze swept over the surrounding shops and stalls, concluding: “It’s really possible to find Ghost Ring King’s evolution materials here.”

Saying that, she stepped inside.

Qiao Sang quickly followed.

Xiao Xunbao, hugging the Pet egg, followed beside its Yu Beast Master, looking left and right, feeling that everything in every shop and stall was very attractive to it.

Qiao Sang and Yabao looked at everything around them with great novelty.

They saw many people and Ghost-type Pets soliciting customers outside.

“Pet massage! Do you want to experience a Ghost-type Pet massage? Mo Mo Ling is your best choice. It can accurately see your acupoints and your physical condition, providing you with the most suitable massage method!” At the storefront with the “Mo Mo Massage” signboard, someone was holding a flyer and promoting.

“Mo Mo.”

“Mo Mo.”

Next to it, a Ghost-type Pet about forty centimeters tall, mostly dark gray, with seven short toes on each paw, also held a flyer.

However, no one and no Pet showed interest, indicating that this shop’s business was mediocre.

Next to it, the shop with the “Hundred Ghosts Night Parade” signboard had a long queue, with someone maintaining order:

“Line up, line up! All line up, one by one. Everyone will get their turn, no cutting in line!”

Even with such good business, he didn’t forget to solicit more customers: “The most terrifying escape room in the entire You City is right here. Our shop has a hundred Ghost-type Pets of different species, and we are number one on Youzhou’s escape room review board.”

Unexpectedly, such a small storefront actually had a hundred Ghost-type Pets of different species… Qiao Sang felt eager to try, but ultimately, she still thought about the main business and didn’t go in.

After walking a few steps, another storefront caught her attention.

A Ghost-type Pet about two meters tall, mostly light purple, wearing a black top hat, and quite handsome, stood elegantly at the shop entrance. A group of smaller Ghost-type Pets surrounded it, making various Ghost-type sounds.

Qiao Sang looked up at the shop name—Perfect Ghost.

Goodness, it seems this place not only sells Ghost-type Pet items and materials, but also many other things related to Ghost-type…

Qiao Sang thought as she continued to walk forward.

After walking a few steps, she suddenly felt something was wrong. She turned her head and saw Xiao Xunbao squeezed among a group of Ghost-type Pets at the entrance of the “Perfect Ghost” shop, listening to the Pet wearing the black top hat explain something.

Qiao Sang: “…”

“Xiao Xunbao,” Qiao Sang called out.

“Xun!” Xiao Xunbao turned its head, called out, and floated over.

“Is there anything you want to buy?” Qiao Sang asked thoughtfully.

“Xun! Xun! Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao’s eyes lit up. It hugged the Pet egg with one claw, freed the other, and pointed to almost all the nearby shops and stalls.

Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched, and she changed the subject:

“Let’s find the mingzhu flower first.”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao nodded. Compared to these things, evolution items were, of course, the most important.

For the rest of the time, Qiao Sang and Mi Jiala went to several shops selling Ghost-type Pet items and materials to inquire, but none of them had mingzhu flower.

They finally found a shop that had mingzhu flower, but it was only A-grade.

Although A-grade evolution items were rare, Qiao Sang now somewhat looked down on them, as the evolution materials she had collected for Xiao Xunbao before were at least S-grade.

“Juejue.”

Just as the two were about to delve deeper into You City, a Ghost-type Pet about fifty centimeters tall, with dark red hair-like objects on its head, tiny beady eyes, and a saw-like mouth, appeared beside Mi Jiala. It handed over a business card and called out.

Mi Jiala took it and saw: “Guide?”

“Juejue.” The Pet with dark red hair-like objects on its head nodded.

Jueying Doll, likes to guide lost people, but usually leads them to dead ends… Qiao Sang’s mind flashed with the information of the Pet in front of her. Before Teacher Mi Jiala could speak, she quickly refused: “Thank you, we don’t need one.”

“Juejue.” The Jueying Doll looked over in surprise, seemingly a bit surprised that there was another person next to them.

“Sorry,” Mi Jiala handed the business card back.

“Juejue…” The Jueying Doll took back the business card, showed a dejected expression, and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang felt a faint regret.

This was You City, not some secret realm valley. Even if the Jueying Doll led them astray, it wouldn’t lead them to a dead end.

Moreover, this Jueying Doll clearly looked like it had been a long-term guide here, even having a business card, so it should be very familiar with the situation here.

“Ren Gui.”

Just as she was thinking, another Ghost-type Pet, entirely wrapped in white cloth, with only a pair of green eyes showing, came to Mi Jiala’s side, called out, and handed her a business card.

Ren Gui, an intermediate Ghost-type Pet, likes to be bullied, endure, and absorb the grievances of those who are bullied to evolve… Qiao Sang’s mind flashed with the information of the Pet in front of her.

“Are you a guide?” Mi Jiala glanced at the business card and asked.

“Ren Gui.” Ren Gui nodded.

Mi Jiala asked, “Do you know where they sell mingzhu flower?”

So Teacher Mi Jiala was like me, afraid that the previous Jueying Doll wouldn’t lead the way well… Qiao Sang silently glanced at Teacher Mi Jiala.

“Ren Gui.”

Ren Gui smiled and nodded, then directly led the way.

“Xiao Xunbao?” Xiao Xunbao floated forward to strike up a conversation.

How much does it cost to lead the way like this?

“Ren Gui.”

Ren Gui looked at the pink afro on Xiao Xunbao’s head with quite a disdainful look, then quickly managed its expression, smiled, and called out, indicating that they could give as much as they liked.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao showed an expression of “You’re so nice.”

No one noticed that Ren Gui’s expression twisted for a moment.

It didn’t like compliments…
