Chapter 152: A little treasure hunt, it has to be you!

It was 1:02 AM.

The moon was dark and the wind was high.

Qiao Sang turned over and lay in a different position.

Although the wind was strong at night, lying on a Fire-type Pet made her not feel cold at all.

Since she didn’t have to get up early for school in the morning, Qiao Sang became more and more energetic the more she played on her phone.

Not only her, but everyone in the Invincible Holy Water group was still awake.

Wang Yao: My task publisher this time is a soft and cute Miss, who speaks softly and draws beautifully. Don’t envy me.

Shi Gaofeng: After all that praise, you might as well just say she’ll give you a five-star review.

Wang Yao: You’re jealous.

Shi Gaofeng: Heh, my task publisher is a handsome guy who is 1.9 meters tall and has eight-pack abs, and he speaks very politely. Don’t envy me.

Qiao Sang: I remember you took a fat absorption task, didn’t you? How could he be a handsome guy with eight-pack abs?

Wang Yao: Hahahaha, Qiao Sang, don’t expose him.

Shi Gaofeng: I’m not lying, that’s what his WeChat Moments photos look like.

Wang Yao: So you haven’t even met him in person yet?

Xu Yajie: Do you still believe photos these days?

Shi Gaofeng: …

Shi Gaofeng: When I see him tomorrow, I’ll take a picture for you guys. You can photoshop a face, but you can’t photoshop abs, can you?

Qiao Sang: Be careful, maybe his abs were created by fat absorption, and he’s only looking for you to maintain them. If something goes wrong and he ends up with seven-pack abs, he might give you a bad review.

Shi Gaofeng: …

Wang Yao: Hahahahaha, that’s actually possible. Shaping abs through absorption is much harder than just absorbing fat.

Xu Yajie: Brother Shi, I can already foresee your fate.

Shi Gaofeng: …I’m out. Goodbye.

Qiao Sang felt relieved watching the group messages until the latest one appeared.

Wang Yao: By the way, Qiao Sang, did you meet the task publisher today? What was her personality like?

Qiao Sang pursed her lips and typed a line.

She’s an Old Lady. She seems very good to her granddaughter and her Pet. Her personality should be good.

After sending this message, Qiao Sang put down her phone and thought about the task again.

If the Ghost Absorption Lamp didn’t return tonight, she would still have to call Mr. Jiang tomorrow morning to talk to the Old Lady’s granddaughter.

No matter how she thought about it, it seemed wrong for her to take the Ghost Absorption Lamp out to play at that time.

And didn’t the Old Lady suspect that the Ghost Absorption Lamp’s disappearance was related to her granddaughter?

Qiao Sang was a little disbelieving. Even she, an outsider, felt that going out to play at that time was a bit off. She didn’t believe the Old Lady hadn’t noticed the problem.

“Xun.”

The Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s paw, which was playing with a coin using psychic power, suddenly dropped.

The coin rolled away, making a “clink-clink” sound.

In the quiet night, with no one around, the sound was exceptionally loud.

“What’s wrong?” Qiao Sang was startled and propped herself up from Ya Bao.

“Ya Ya.”

Ya Bao was talking in her sleep with her eyes closed, completely unaffected.

“Xun…”

The Little Treasure Hunting Ghost tilted her head towards the courtyard lights in the community.

It was late at night, and the sky was dim, but the community’s courtyard lights were not extinguished, still emitting light.

But just then, the farthest courtyard light suddenly flickered.

Then, from far to near, every courtyard light began to flicker.

This strange scene appeared abruptly and disappeared quickly. Soon, after every courtyard light had finished flickering, everything returned to normal.

Qiao Sang got goosebumps watching this eerie scene, and a cold wind happened to blow by.

She hadn’t felt any coldness while lying in the soft fur, but now she felt a chill all over her body.

“Ya Bao, Ya Bao.” Qiao Sang shook Ya Bao with her hand.

Wake up quickly, if you don’t, she feels very insecure…

“Ya Ya…”

Ya Bao drooled, moved her head, and changed to a more comfortable position.

Qiao Sang: “…”

“Xun!”

The Little Treasure Hunting Ghost now stood in front of Qiao Sang, vigilantly looking around.

Qiao Sang looked at the small figure in front of her with eyes full of emotion.

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost, it’s still you!

Qiao Sang got up from Ya Bao and looked at the empty courtyard in front of her.

Because Xi Ying Community was an old community, with sparse greenery, infrequent property management, and a security guard who was just there to slack off, the community as a whole looked a bit dilapidated and desolate.

Qiao Sang looked around with a hint of vigilance.

The chill, the eerie flickering lights, and the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s actions all indicated that something was amiss.

Qiao Sang felt suspicious. Could it be that the Ghost Absorption Lamp had returned?

If so, she might be able to relax a bit, after all, owned Pets generally don’t attack humans casually.

But what if this eerie atmosphere was caused by a wild Pet?

The Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s entire body was tense, and her golden eyes looked at each courtyard light one by one.

Her nose twitched involuntarily. Such a strong aura of death…

Soon, she locked onto a direction: the second courtyard light to the front left.

The Little Treasure Hunting Ghost turned her head, wanting to tell her Yu Beast Master, but she hesitated.

Speaking so quietly, that guy would definitely hear it. What if it was prepared…

“Little Treasure Hunting Ghost, did you notice anything?” Qiao Sang asked, seeing the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost staring intently in one direction.

The Little Treasure Hunting Ghost turned her head and blinked. Qiao Sang immediately understood.

The next instant, the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost disappeared from where she was and reappeared under the second courtyard light to the upper left, sticking out her tongue and giving a fierce Tongue Lick about 10 centimeters outside the lampshade.

Qiao Sang was stunned. She hadn’t expected the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost to act so swiftly and decisively.

Finding the target, teleporting, Tongue Lick—all in one smooth motion. She didn’t look like a baby who had just turned a month old.

Only to see that where the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost had licked in mid-air, a glass lampshade-shaped Pet appeared out of thin air.

It had yellow eyes, two long, swaying arms, and the right lamp stand was broken off a section. The left symmetrical lamp stand was already mostly broken, looking even shorter than the right one.

The blue flame that should have been vigorous in the middle of the lampshade now seemed as if it would disappear with the slightest movement.

Holy crap! It’s the Ghost Absorption Lamp!

Qiao Sang’s expression was excited. She actually found it on the first day!

Although the left lamp stand of this Ghost Absorption Lamp didn’t quite match the Old Lady’s description, the right lamp stand was indeed missing a section.

Ghost-type Pets are rare in the city, and for one to appear here at this time and also be a Ghost Absorption Lamp, it could basically be concluded that it was the one the Old Lady lost.

As for the red, fingernail-sized mark on its head, it couldn’t be seen due to the height difference.

But the next second, Qiao Sang was 100% certain that this Ghost Absorption Lamp was the one she was looking for.

Because the Ghost Absorption Lamp had already fallen from the air, and the mark on its head was directly facing her.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, unable to believe that the Ghost Absorption Lamp had just fallen like that.

Even if the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s Tongue Lick paralysis effect had taken hold, it shouldn’t have happened. The Ghost Absorption Lamp was an intermediate Pet…

Looking at the almost disappearing spark in the Ghost Absorption Lamp’s lampshade, Qiao Sang instantly understood.

It’s the wick…

A crystal emitting a dim light fell out of the Ghost Absorption Lamp’s body.

The Ghost Absorption Lamp’s weak body stiffened. It had no mind to bother with the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost that had just attacked it, nor did it pay attention to the human not far away.

Its body moved, trying to float up again, but it felt as if thousands of huge rocks were pressing down inside it, preventing it from moving.

The Ghost Absorption Lamp stared fixedly at the crystal on the ground in front of it. It propped itself up with its arms and slowly crawled forward.

Almost there, almost there…

However, the next second, a hand picked up the crystal.

It was that human!

The Ghost Absorption Lamp’s body suddenly trembled, and the flame inside it shook violently. It lifted its head.

A hand was spread open in front of it, and in its palm was that dim crystal.

“Here.”

Three chapters a day is so tiring…
