Chapter 1039: Another Ghost Ring King

“Name?”

“Qiao Sang.”

“Age?”

“17.”

“Where were you on the 30th of last month and the 3rd of this month?”

“Both days I was in a competition.”

“What competition?”

“Central Hollow Regional Competition.”

“Central Hollow Regional Competition?”

The inquiring police officer raised an eyebrow, about to say something more, when another officer quickly walked in and whispered a few words to him.

The inquiring officer was stunned, looked at Qiao Sang in surprise, and then got up and walked out of the interrogation room.

After about a few tens of seconds, the previous inquiring officer walked back in, a fawning smile plastered on his face, and said:

“My apologies, why didn’t you tell us you were a student of Imperial Beast Academy? This whole thing was a misunderstanding.

We’ve already confirmed you were competing in Dragon Country recently.

You’re free to go.”

Saying that, he stepped aside: “We’ve also brought your Ghost Ring King over.”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao floated in from outside the door, diving into her Yu Beast Master’s arms, crying and sniffling.

The police officer’s scalp tingled as he quickly explained:

“We didn’t do anything, just asked a few questions.”

Qiao Sang didn’t get up, stroking Xiao Xunbao’s head as she calmly said:

“I cooperated and came here because I just wanted to understand the situation with the Ghost Ring King you’re offering a reward for, to see if it really looks like my Ghost Ring King.”

After getting off the plane, almost 80% of the people on the way recognized it incorrectly, and the other 20% were tourists who didn’t know about the wanted notice.

This matter was clearly much more serious than she had imagined.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao immediately lifted her head from her Yu Beast Master’s arms, looking over with a serious expression.

The police officer glanced at Xiao Xunbao, then raised his hand and operated the watch on his wrist, and a virtual screen instantly appeared out of thin air.

Displayed on it was a wanted poster for a Ghost Ring King.

A body much smaller than a regular Ghost Ring King, gray-black skin, and golden-yellow hair, eyes, and rings—it looked exactly like Xiao Xunbao.

There really was a Ghost Ring King in this world that looked so much like Xiao Xunbao… Qiao Sang stared at the wanted poster on the virtual screen, momentarily dazed, finally understanding why, even though Xiao Xunbao was an exotic Pet, so many people still mistook it.

The police officer said ingratiatingly:

“Ghost Ring King is not a Pet from Eagle Country, it’s relatively rare here, and it’s also an exotic color, so everyone who saw your Ghost Ring King mistakenly thought it was the wanted Ghost Ring King.”

Saying that, he glanced at Xiao Xunbao and chuckled:

“Actually, if you compare them closely, there are still some differences.

Your Ghost Ring King is quite a bit fatter than the one on the wanted poster.”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao showed an expression of dissatisfaction, correcting him.

That’s not fat, that’s big!

Qiao Sang got up, preparing to leave the interrogation room, then she remembered something and turned back to confirm:

“Is the bounty for that wanted Ghost Ring King 1 million alliance coins?”

The police officer was momentarily stunned, then nodded:

“Yes, 1 million alliance coins if you catch it and bring it to the Police Station, 50,000 alliance coins for providing information.”

“I understand.” Qiao Sang said, then led Xiao Xunbao out of the Police Station under everyone’s watchful eyes.

At the entrance, she saw Teacher Mi Jiala.

“How was it, all questions answered?” Mi Jiala heard the commotion and turned to ask.

Qiao Sang hummed in affirmation.

“What do you think about this matter?” Mi Jiala asked.

Qiao Sang retorted:

“Did you ask me to come to the Police Station with them because you wanted to find out about that Ghost Ring King?”

If Teacher Mi Jiala hadn’t suggested coming to the Police Station, she would have a million ways to smoothly leave the airport.

Mi Jiala didn’t refute, chuckling:

“That’s right.

Your Ghost Ring King is an exotic Pet.

It’s hard to find two ordinary Pets that are exactly alike, let alone an exotic one.

And this is Eagle Country, not Dragon Country, so I’m very curious about that Ghost Ring King.”

Saying that, she looked over: “Aren’t you curious?”

Curious, extremely curious… Qiao Sang looked at Teacher Mi Jiala, not speaking, which was an implicit agreement.

Mi Jiala smiled and handed over a stack of documents, saying:

“Here’s some information about that Ghost Ring King.

Take a look.”

Qiao Sang took it, saying with surprise:

“Given by the Police Station?”

Mi Jiala hummed in affirmation.

An S-Class Beast Master really has influence.

To get such detailed information in such a short time… Qiao Sang quickly browsed, and when she saw some of the things the Ghost Ring King had done, her mouth couldn’t help but twitch.

[March 20th, stole a certain lady’s clothes]

[March 26th, stole a certain Pet’s props.]

[April 11th, faked capture and released 17 wild Pets.]

[May 17th, faked a contract with a certain gentleman, infiltrated his home, and swept away all valuables in the house, including food.]

[June 24th, shattered all the glass in a certain school.]

[… ]

[July 2nd, stripped a certain gentleman’s clothes and left him naked at the Police Station entrance.]

[August 10th, stole a certain student’s homework.]

[September 1st, abducted a Pet that a certain Yu Beast Master had just contracted.]

[… ]

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao leaned over, looking intently.

Mi Jiala slowly said:

“I’ll give you an assignment: find this Ghost Ring King within a week.”

Qiao Sang looked up and asked:

“Does completing this assignment earn points?”

Mi Jiala was silent for a moment: “Yes.”

Qiao Sang’s eyes immediately lit up: “How many?”

“It depends on your completion level.” Mi Jiala said.

…

9:30 PM.

Bo Sai Manor, No. 101.

Bedroom.

How could there be a Ghost Ring King that looks so much like Xiao Xunbao… Qiao Sang leaned back on the bed, looking at the Ghost Ring King wanted poster searched on her laptop screen, feeling amazed for the nth time.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao stood beside her, indignantly accusing.

This guy is too detestable!

It must be caught!

To actually do so many bad things while looking almost exactly like it!

“Qingbao.”

Qingbao glanced at the photo on the screen, called out, indicating that it wasn’t just similar, it was practically identical.

“Yabao…”

Yabao nodded in agreement.

It really is very similar…

“Xiao Xunbao!”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao grew even angrier.

If everyone mistook it for that guy in the future, how would it ever hold its head up outside!

Qiao Sang comforted her:

“It’s okay, just put some odorless powder on when we go out recently.

That guy will be caught sooner or later.”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao’s mood dropped.

How should we find it…

What if we can’t find it…

“How could we not find it?” Qiao Sang said softly: “We found the Lele Seed in such a huge secret realm rift back then.”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao immediately brightened up, feeling hope.

“Steel Treasure.”

At this moment, Steel Treasure, who had been deep in thought, called out, suggesting whether it was possible that the other party had transformed into the appearance of Xiao Xunbao’s elder brother.

Qiao Sang: “!!!”

Xiao Xunbao: “!!!”

Yabao: “!!!”

Thanks to “Fa Cai Gu” for the generous Alliance Leader reward! I will never stay up late again.

I originally said I would post one chapter at dawn and another during the day, but I ended up completely exhausted.

I had no motivation to write in the morning.

It really is better to have a regular schedule.

Everyone, don’t stay up late like me!
