Chapter 147: old lady

Shi Gaofeng, Wang Yao, and Xu Yajie simultaneously and tacitly retreated two steps.

Qiao Sang’s expression stiffened as she turned her head. In the past, it was always Shi Gaofeng who got caught, but now it was her turn. The feeling was truly inexpressible…

Just as Shi Gaofeng and the others were internally lighting candles for Qiao Sang, Zheng Guoping, with a dark face, spoke, “Shi Gaofeng, if I ever hear the words ‘Zheng Baolong’ again, you can go clean all the toilets in the school.”

Shi Gaofeng’s expression froze, and he was instantly bewildered, “Teacher, those three words just now weren’t said by me.”

Zheng Guoping snorted coldly, “If you hadn’t constantly talked nonsense in front of Qiao Sang, how would she have learned to say that?”

Shi Gaofeng looked confused. Is that how it works???

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up. Zheng Baolong is mighty! What he said made perfect sense! If Shi Gaofeng hadn’t constantly mentioned it in front of her, how would she have known that nickname?

“Teacher is brilliant,” Qiao Sang said from the bottom of her heart.

Zheng Guoping turned his head to Qiao Sang and said in a calm tone, “You’ve accepted the task, right? Send it to the group so I can see it.”

Tasks accepted at the Yu Beast Center can be viewed by logging in with the Yu Beast Master’s information on the Yu Beast Center’s official website.

As long as the Yu Beast Master personally agrees, they can also copy the link to others to view their ongoing task progress simultaneously.

Qiao Sang quickly took out her phone and sent the task information to the Invincible Holy Water Group.

This chuunibyou group name belonged to the second-year School Team, which she joined on her first day of School Team training.

Zheng Guoping looked down for a while, and when he looked up again to speak, his tone was still as calm as before: “If this task isn’t completed by the next time we gather, you can go clean the women’s restroom.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

Actually, Zheng Baolong must have been holding a grudge about her mentioning his nickname just now…

This was definitely revenge…

…

Liaocheng Pet Breeding Institution.

As soon as Qiao Sang entered, she saw a familiar scene: a man in a white short-sleeved shirt sitting on a low stool, excitedly throwing cards.

Only this time, on either side of him were not Sand Burrowing Rats, but a Little Scorpion and a White Sand Fox.

Misleading Pets, indeed…

The man heard footsteps and turned his head. Seeing who it was, his eyes instantly lit up. He tossed his cards, lunged forward, and rushed to Qiao Sang’s front, his face flushed with excitement, “You’re here!”

If someone had seen this scene, they would have thought it was a touching reunion after a long separation.

Qiao Sang was a little bewildered by the man’s attitude. Their last meeting wasn’t like this; because she had bargained too hard at the end, the man couldn’t even smile afterward.

“Hello, are my Energy Pills ready?” Qiao Sang asked politely.

“Ready, ready! They were ready two days ago. I’ve been waiting for you to come,” the man said enthusiastically. “Where’s Yan Ling Dog? Why don’t you summon him out?”

Qiao Sang suddenly understood when she heard this. No wonder his attitude changed so quickly.

She hadn’t mentioned the words ‘Yan Ling Dog’ when she was here last time. He probably saw her interview at the police station in the news and recognized Ya Bao as Yan Ling Dog.

“He’s too handsome; I’m afraid he’ll get stolen,” Qiao Sang joked.

The man paused, then nodded seriously, “You have a point.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

The man quickly brought out two large jars of Energy Pills.

Both jars had the same packaging, but they were labeled Yan Ling Dog and Treasure Hunting Ghost, respectively.

After confirming, Qiao Sang took out her bank card, ready to pay the remaining balance.

The man reached out to stop her, “Meeting is fate. Among so many Pet breeding institutions, you choosing ours is also a destined connection, so…”

Qiao Sang’s heart quickened. She had always known the value of Ya Bao’s new form. As long as the research institute hadn’t figured out how Fire Fang Dog evolved into Yan Ling Dog, then Ya Bao would be a Pet even rarer than rare Pets in everyone’s eyes.

Could it be that this store was willing to give her a half-price discount or even waive the fee to win her over?!

The goal was nothing more than to have her help promote their institution.

Since this institution had such business acumen, it wasn’t entirely impossible…

“So, you don’t have to pay the odd amount. The total is 181,000. You’ve already paid a 20,000 deposit, so you only need to pay 160,000,” the man said with a sincere face.

Qiao Sang: “…Thank you.”

…

Leaving Liaocheng Pet Breeding Institution, Qiao Sang went to a nearby alley and summoned Ya Bao.

“Ya.”

Ya Bao looked at his Yu Beast Master with resentment.

“It’ll be fine in a few more days. Have you forgotten the time we were surrounded for nearly an hour?” Qiao Sang comforted him.

“Xun~”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost appeared and echoed her words.

“Ya…”

Ya Bao pouted.

“There’s nothing we can do; it’s your fault for evolving so handsomely,” Qiao Sang sighed.

“Ya!”

Ya Bao’s ears perked up, his tail wagged, and he instantly became spirited.

Yes, there was nothing he could do. It was his fault for being so handsome!

Qiao Sang discreetly observed Ya Bao’s reaction. He was so easy to coax…

After a few more words, Ya Bao’s eyes curved, and he happily wagged his tail as he returned to the yu beast codex.

“Amazing,” Qiao Sang praised the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost beside her.

If it weren’t for the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost echoing her words, Ya Bao wouldn’t have been willing to return to the yu beast codex so quickly.

“Xun~”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost became embarrassed and shyly concealed his body.

Soon, Qiao Sang felt two forces gently tugging at her hair.

She curled her lips and walked out of the alley, heading in the opposite direction from her home.

…

Xi Ying Community.

Unit 5, No. 702.

Finding a lost Ghost-type Pet in a large city is an extremely difficult task in itself.

The next task report meeting was in 5 days, and Qiao Sang didn’t want to waste time, so she went directly to the task location without returning home.

Unlike the style of most high-rise buildings in the city, this community exuded a nostalgic atmosphere.

Quiet, harmonious, no elevator…

Fortunately, after the running exercises at school during this period, Qiao Sang climbed to the seventh floor in one breath without gasping for air.

The door was opened by an aunt who looked to be in her 50s and was dressed simply.

“You are?”

“Hello, my surname is Qiao. I’m here for the task from the Yu Beast Center,” Qiao Sang replied.

The aunt was startled for a moment and looked at Qiao Sang in surprise, “Wait a moment, I’ll go ask.”

After speaking, she turned and walked into the inner room. Soon, she came out again.

“Come in. You don’t need to take off your shoes,” the aunt said from the doorway.

Qiao Sang looked at the furnishings inside the house. Although the decoration was a bit simple, it was very clean, and the floor was very bright with no dust.

She paused, then still chose to take off her shoes and enter.

The aunt was startled at the sight, then her lips curved, and she smiled, revealing crow’s feet.

She looked at the inner room, then turned her head, hesitated, and lowered her voice, “The one who posted the task is our Old Lady. She has a strange and reclusive personality, and her temper has become even stranger since the Ghost Absorption Lamp went missing recently.”

“Two Yu Beast Masters came before and accepted this task, but the Old Lady had me give them bad reviews. You’re still young, so I advise you to decline this task.”

Qiao Sang was stunned for a long time. It wasn’t that she felt like backing out after hearing that the person who posted the task was an Old Lady with a strange personality, but rather, she never expected the task poster to be an Old Lady!

She had always thought Ghost Absorption Lamp was a new Yu Beast Master…

Since it was an elderly person, the contract with Ghost Absorption Lamp certainly wouldn’t have been short. Logically speaking, after a long period of companionship, Ghost Absorption Lamp should have known its way back. How could it have gotten lost…?
