Chapter 1045: First encounter with the totem of changing clothes (two in one)

Logically speaking, she shouldn’t remember such a small item from half a year ago so clearly, but her memory is exceptionally good now, and the lost hair accessory is linked to the potentially suspicious Change Clothes Totem. Even if her mind wasn’t thinking about it, seeing it made her feel eerily familiar.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao saw the hair accessory through empathy and immediately cried out excitedly.

The hair accessory it lost looked just like this!

Sure enough… Qiao Sang’s gaze fell on Xiao Nvhai’s face, and she fell into deep thought.

Since the Change Clothes Totem can transform into the appearance of an item’s original owner based on its aura, it can naturally transform into a person as well.

The异色 Ghost Ring King’s form is easily recognizable, and the Change Clothes Totem is a King-level Pet, so its own appearance is also easily noticed by others. Despite being wanted for half a year, it hasn’t been caught. Could it be that it occasionally transforms into a human or other Pets?

If that’s the case, then relying solely on the photos of the 异色 Ghost Ring King and the Change Clothes Totem on the wanted poster, even with Gui Naoke’s help, it might not be found…

“Xiao Xunbao!”

As she was thinking, Xiao Xunbao stared at Xiao Nvhai and cried out, asking if that guy had transformed into this human’s appearance!

Qiao Sang’s heart stirred, and she said, “It’s possible.”

“Xiao Xunbao!” Xiao Xunbao was uncontrollably excited and eagerly began to circulate the energy within its body.

The next second, it appeared in front of Xiao Nvhai with its Yu Beast Master.

Qiao Sang: “…”

There’s no need to be so hasty; you even forgot to bring Ya Bao and the others with you…

“Xiao Xunbao!”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao didn’t notice this and immediately started cursing at Xiao Nvhai.

The Pets around them, who hadn’t been paying attention, all turned their gaze towards them.

Xiao Nvhai stared blankly at Xiao Xunbao.

This doesn’t seem like the reaction a fake should have when seeing Xiao Xunbao… Qiao Sang scrutinized Xiao Nvhai in front of her, trying to find a flaw.

Suddenly, an enraged voice sounded from behind: “What are you doing to my daughter!”

Xiao Nvhai looked forward with a happy expression, spread her arms, and ran towards him: “Dad!”

Xiao Xunbao’s cursing stopped, and its body suddenly stiffened.

“Don’t panic, some transformed Pets can also speak human language,” Qiao Sang said in a low voice.

She still remembered the Imitation Doll that had transformed into her and shouted “Here!” when she was on Super Dormant Star.

“Xiao Xunbao…” Xiao Xunbao relaxed after hearing its Yu Beast Master’s words.

At this moment, the man’s voice rang out: “Honey, are you okay?”

Followed by the girl’s voice: “I’m fine, Dad, look quickly, that Pet looks like the one on TV that’s being wanted!”

A Pet that can transform would definitely not speak so much human language… Qiao Sang made a snap decision: “Let’s go!”

Xiao Xunbao’s eyes glowed blue.

Then, the two returned to the bedroom.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao wiped the non-existent sweat from its forehead.

“Ya Ya?”

Ya Bao looked over and let out a cry, asking if they had found it.

Lu Bao, Qing Bao, and Gui Naoke all looked over at the same time, waiting for the answer.

Only Steel Treasure’s eyes were full of smiles.

Qiao Sang honestly said, “No.”

Ya Bao and the others immediately showed disappointed expressions.

Gui Naoke, without a word, turned its head and extended its paw, preparing to continue helping with the search.

“But I have a new idea,” Qiao Sang continued.

Gui Naoke stopped its action and looked over.

“It’s like this, I actually suspect that a wild Change Clothes Totem stole Xiao Xunbao’s hair accessory and transformed into its appearance…” After Qiao Sang babbled her guess to Gui Naoke, she said, “So I hope you find a Pet or person carrying this hair accessory.”

After speaking, she took out her phone, preparing to search for a picture of the hair accessory to show Gui Naoke.

But the moment she took out her phone, Qiao Sang suddenly thought of something, her expression instantly stiffened, and she looked at Xiao Xunbao, asking word by word: “Where did you get that hair accessory originally?”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao thought for a moment, then let out a cry, indicating it was taken from the ring.

“No,” Qiao Sang said. “What I mean is, before the ring? Where did we buy this hair accessory?”

She didn’t remember buying any hair accessories in Eagle Country.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao tried hard to think, then let out a cry.

The hair accessory was already in the ring. It seemed it was bought along with other things when they were scouring for items on Super Dormant Star.

That’s right, she hadn’t bought any hair accessories in Eagle Country, but when the unlimited card was about to expire on Super Dormant Star, she bought a large number of things without even looking, not only Pet-related tools and materials, but also some luxury goods. Anyway, anything valuable that could be bought with the unlimited card, she bought.

This hair accessory was one of them.

It’s not impossible for items from other planets to appear on Blue Star, after all, with current technology, there is already interstellar logistics, but the cost is too high, and only Pet resources are transported.

Would they specially buy a mere luxury hair accessory from another planet?

Qiao Sang realized she had made a mistake.

Why was she so certain that a transforming Pet couldn’t speak too much human language?

Illusory Water Baby and the Imitation Doll couldn’t, but that doesn’t mean the Change Clothes Totem can’t.

Calm down, that Change Clothes Totem is a wild Pet that emerged from a secret realm crack. How could it learn so much human language in half a year… It’s not impossible, as long as the Pet is smart enough, like Xiao Xunbao, it quickly picks up electronic devices like phones and computers… Calm down, calm down, maybe it’s just a coincidence. There are so many fake luxury goods now. Real ones are hard to transport, but getting an identical fake is much easier… Qiao Sang reined in her thoughts, settled her emotions, looked at Gui Naoke, and said: “Help me check the previous location. Is the Xiao Nvhai wearing the purple grape hair accessory still there? If not, help me see where she is now.”

Better to be wrong than to miss out.

“Gui Gui.”

Gui Naoke nodded, turned around, and put its paw back into the computer.

It had seen the scene of this human and the Ghost Ring King teleporting over there, so even without the hair accessory, it knew what the human Xiao Nvhai she was talking about looked like.

“Xiao Xunbao?” Xiao Xunbao showed a puzzled expression.

Why are we still looking for her?

“That hair accessory of yours is from Super Dormant Star, but this is Blue Star,” Qiao Sang said. “I’m a bit suspicious that that Change Clothes Totem has learned quite a bit of human language.”

She paused, then added: “After all, its intelligence is very high.”

When the news reported on the Change Clothes Totem’s situation, one of the points mentioned was its extremely high intelligence. It only needed to glance at the miniature shrinking bracelet during a battle to understand its function and how to operate it.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao suddenly understood, then showed an angry expression of “I actually fell for that guy’s trick.”

Qiao Sang looked at it and calmly said, “This is still just my guess.”

After speaking, she added:

“If this girl really is the Change Clothes Totem, then when you Space Movement, don’t forget to bring Ya Bao and the others with you.”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao’s momentum immediately deflated, showing an expression of “I understand.”

“Gui Gui.”

At this moment, Gui Naoke turned its head and let out a cry.

“Steel Sword.”

Steel Treasure translated immediately.

Qiao Sang frowned and said:

“You said the Xiao Nvhai was found, but she doesn’t have that hair accessory on her head?”

“Gui Gui.” Gui Naoke nodded.

Qiao Sang asked, “Is there a man with her?”

“Gui Gui.” Gui Naoke shook its head.

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and decided to take a look: “Where’s the address?”

“Gui Gui.” Gui Naoke reported the address.

Xiao Xunbao, without a word, its eyes glowed blue.

After about five seconds, Qiao Sang’s vision went black. When it returned to light, she found herself at the entrance of a chocolate shop.

A blonde, blue-eyed Xiao Nvhai stood in front of the display window, looking at the chocolates inside, her face showing “I want it so badly, I want to eat it so badly.”

Indeed, there was no purple grape hair accessory… Qiao Sang’s gaze fell on the girl’s golden hair.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao remembered its Yu Beast Master’s words and restrained the urge to rush forward.

It hadn’t been confirmed yet. It wouldn’t be good if it cursed the wrong person, although even if it did, this human probably wouldn’t understand…

“Ya Ya?”

Ya Bao scanned the surroundings, then its gaze fell on Xiao Nvhai, letting out a cry, asking if she was the human they were looking for.

Just as Qiao Sang was about to answer, a rather excited shout rang out: “Look quickly, isn’t that the wanted Ghost Ring King!”

Xiao Xunbao: “…”

The people around them all looked over.

Xiao Nvhai did the same.

She looked at Xiao Xunbao, first stunned, then showing an anxious and worried expression.

She looked as if she not only recognized it but also had a lot to say.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang’s heart stirred, and she said, “Take her with us.”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao cried out, but before it could act, Xiao Nvhai quickly ran up.

Just as she ran two steps forward, a pair of thick, large hands pulled her back.

“Honey, I’ve been looking for you for ages,” said the man, who also had blonde hair and blue eyes, like the girl.

Pulled like this, Xiao Nvhai looked up and saw the person who had arrived, and immediately quieted down.

The man recognized who was in front of him, and his tone was displeased: “It’s you again. What exactly do you want to do to my daughter?”

As he spoke, his gaze fell on Xiao Xunbao: “You’re the wanted Ghost Ring King?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the onlookers all agreed:

“It’s it!”

“No mistake! It’s definitely it! Only its Ghost Ring King’s color is like this!”

“Brother, don’t let it run away! That’s 1 million alliance coins!”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao’s cheeks grew bigger and bigger, clearly looking furious.

Qiao Sang looked at the purple grape hair accessory on the man’s head, her mouth twitching violently. There was only silence.

More and more people gathered.

The man pulled Xiao Nvhai and quietly retreated into the crowd.

“Space Lockdown,” Qiao Sang said. “Only lock down the man.”

As soon as her voice fell, a red flash of fire streaked past.

As it passed the man, Xiao Nvhai disappeared.

The man looked at where Xiao Nvhai had been standing, his face changing.

At the same time, Xiao Xunbao’s eyes glowed blue.

A translucent Barrier immediately enveloped the man.

The people around realized something was wrong and quickly moved away, tacitly dodging to a distance, clearing a large area.

The fire light reflected back and stopped beside Qiao Sang.

Ya Bao put down the still-shaken Xiao Nvhai.

“What do you want to do?” The man looked at Xiao Nvhai, his face grim.

Qiao Sang slowly said, “Change Clothes Totem, how long are you going to keep pretending?”

“Xiao Xunbao?!”

Xiao Xunbao stared wide-eyed at the human not far away.

What?

Change Clothes Totem?!

It immediately thought of something, its gaze falling on the purple grape hair accessory on the man’s head, its eyes widening, showing an angry expression of “So it was you.”

Change Clothes Totem? The people around were bewildered, whispering as they looked at the man.

The man looked at the increasing crowd, his expression gradually calming down instead.

He stared at Qiao Sang, then looked at Xiao Xunbao twice, and finally glanced at Xiao Nvhai, then his eyes glowed blue.

An invisible force instantly shattered the transparent Barrier around him.

The man said calmly, “Do you think you can trap me?”

After speaking, he remained in place.

The man was stunned for a moment, then seemed to sense something and looked down.

He saw that his shadow had somehow connected to another shadow.

He followed the extended direction of the shadow and saw Xiao Xunbao.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao stared at it, snorted, its nostrils flaring, showing an expression of “You still want to run away.”

Suddenly, a Typhoon blew up.

The leaves on the street trees rustled, and fallen leaves and dust flew everywhere.

In the Typhoon, the man’s clothes, including the purple grape hair accessory on his head, all disappeared. Only a miniature shrinking bracelet remained on his hand.

The moment the purple grape hair accessory disappeared, his body suddenly twisted and changed.

Soon, a Pet about seven meters tall, entirely silver-white, with only one eye, appeared in everyone’s sight.

The Typhoon stopped.

Qing Bao appeared beside Qiao Sang, holding the purple grape hair accessory, having completed its task.

It really is the Change Clothes Totem… Everyone looked at the Pet not far away, their hearts filled with dread.

This is a good opportunity to clear Xiao Xunbao’s name… Qiao Sang raised her head, looked at the Change Clothes Totem, and gathered her breath at the tip of her tongue: “You stole my Ghost Ring King’s hair accessory and spent the past half year transforming into its appearance to commit evil everywhere, relying on it not being in Eagle Country! Now that I’ve brought it back, how can I let you ruin its reputation!”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao held its head high and puffed out its chest.

Exactly, exactly!

What? The wanted Ghost Ring King was transformed by this Change Clothes Totem? Everyone’s faces showed shock and astonishment.

The Change Clothes Totem’s expression remained unchanged, but its eyes glowed blue as it looked at Xiao Xunbao not far away.

The next second, Xiao Xunbao disappeared from its original spot and was held in its hand.

Xiao Xunbao: “!!!”

Just as it realized what had happened to it, a sharp pain suddenly shot through its brain.

Xiao Xunbao’s eyes glazed over before it could even let out a cry.

At the same time, the shadow connected to the Change Clothes Totem broke off and retracted.

Damn it, I can’t retrieve Xiao Xunbao… Qiao Sang’s face was grim. She put down her just-waved hand and said, “Domain.”

Lu Bao emitted a visible chill.

However, before the chill could spread, the Change Clothes Totem disappeared from its original spot.

Xiao Xunbao fell from mid-air, and a flash of fire quickly went to catch it.
