Chapter 155: Give a five-star review

Everything that was happening before her eyes was too fantastical.

The Little Treasure Hunting Ghost had been put under Hypnosis by the Ghost Absorption Lamp, and after waking up, it suddenly burst into tears, then reconciled and gave the Ghost Absorption Lamp milk, and finally, after a bunch of incomprehensible words, the Ghost Absorption Lamp compromised?

Leaving aside the previous events, the Ghost Absorption Lamp’s willingness to return with her to see the Old Lady was simply outrageous.

Could a Pet that was willing to sacrifice its evolution, or even its life, to save its Yu Beast Master, compromise so easily?

Qiao Sang’s expression subtly changed.

Could it be that she had unknowingly fallen into the Ghost Absorption Lamp’s trap?

Was everything happening now a dream or an illusion?

“Xiao Xunbao~”

The Little Treasure Hunting Ghost, seeing that its Yu Beast Master wasn’t reacting, floated in front of her.

Looking at the familiar face, its mouth drooped, and its eyes reddened again.

However, before its tears could fall, Qiao Sang reached out and tapped its head.

“Does it hurt?”

Little Treasure Hunting Ghost: “???”

…

After a long, long night, Qiao Sang finally confirmed that this was not an illusion.

In the latter half of the night, the Ghost Absorption Lamp recovered but did not leave; it simply continued to communicate with the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost.

Although she didn’t know what they were discussing, Qiao Sang was profoundly impressed.

She knew the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost was socially adept, but she didn’t realize it could be this adept.

Qiao Sang turned to look at Ya Bao, who was still sound asleep, and for a moment, her mood was complicated.

There’s no harm without comparison…

In the morning, the sky was faintly lit.

Qiao Sang put Ya Bao, who was still fast asleep, back into the yu beast codex, and with dark circles under her eyes, knocked on the door of room 702.

The one who opened the door was still that auntie.

She was stunned: “Why are you here?”

Qiao Sang, suppressing the urge to doze off, said, “I’m here to hand in the mission.”

Hand in the mission? The auntie suddenly realized: “You’re here to resign from the mission, right? Actually, you don’t need to come all the way here; you can just do it on your phone.”

Qiao Sang, half-closing her eyes, said, “No, I found the Ghost Absorption Lamp.”

After saying that, she finally couldn’t help but yawn; staying up all night was truly too difficult, especially since her phone ran out of battery later…

The auntie stood dumbfounded. The Ghost Absorption Lamp? Found?

Seeing that the auntie wasn’t reacting, Qiao Sang reached up and poked her head. The next second, the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost appeared and called out to the side.

Then, a familiar figure appeared before the auntie.

The auntie’s expression instantly became blank.

The Ghost Absorption Lamp, which the Patrol Department had been searching for for a long time without success, was found by an underage child in less than a day?!

“Ghost Absorption Lamp?” The auntie asked, somewhat disbelievingly, to confirm with the Ghost Absorption Lamp.

What if this wasn’t the one the Old Lady lost, but another one that just looked similar?

The Ghost Absorption Lamp gave her a faint glance and walked straight inside.

Auntie: “…!”.

It was it!

Qiao Sang followed the Ghost Absorption Lamp inside.

The Ghost Absorption Lamp stopped outside the room, seeming a bit hesitant.

“Qunbao.” The Little Treasure Hunting Ghost floated next to it and nodded at it.

The Ghost Absorption Lamp looked at it, then floated through the door, and the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost followed closely behind.

Qiao Sang knocked on the door twice, no response, knocked again, still no response.

This time, she learned her lesson and didn’t knock a third time, but instead pushed the door open and went in directly.

The Old Lady was lying in bed, not yet awake, and the two Pets were gathered around her, staring in a daze.

Qiao Sang could understand the Ghost Absorption Lamp being in a daze, but she couldn’t quite understand why the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost was also in a daze.

Shouldn’t it be drooling?

Could this be a side effect of Hypnosis?

The Little Treasure Hunting Ghost slowly overlapped the wrinkled face before its eyes with the one in its dream, and it couldn’t help but start to panic again.

It turned its head to look at Qiao Sang, disappearing from its spot and reappearing on her head, grabbing two strands of her hair before its panic subsided.

Qiao Sang felt relieved at the sight. She looked at the Old Lady sleeping soundly on the bed, hesitating whether to wake her up.

Just then, the flames inside the Ghost Absorption Lamp flickered, and the nether yang crystal passed through the lampshade, slowly moving above the Old Lady.

Qiao Sang was stunned. Seeing the nether yang crystal about to enter the Old Lady’s body, her actions were faster than her thoughts, and she rushed forward, snatching the nether yang crystal away.

“Are you trying to die!” Qiao Sang turned to the Ghost Absorption Lamp and said sharply.

One must know that without the nether yang crystal, the current Ghost Absorption Lamp probably wouldn’t last much longer. The Old Lady still had the lamp wick inside her, so Qiao Sang couldn’t understand why it would still move the nether yang crystal into the Old Lady’s body.

Besides, the Old Lady was human and simply couldn’t bear it… No…

Lamp wick, the Old Lady still had the lamp wick inside her!

Qiao Sang suddenly remembered her call with the Vice Principal; the lamp wick could stay in a human body for a maximum of three days, but it had clearly been more than half a month now…

If there was a nether yang crystal for the lamp wick to absorb every once in a while, it should be able to barely maintain the lamp wick’s operation.

But if that were the case, the Ghost Absorption Lamp itself…

“Ghost Absorption!”

The Ghost Absorption Lamp, with a fierce expression, took back the nether yang crystal from Qiao Sang’s hand.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

The Little Treasure Hunting Ghost spread its arms and blocked Qiao Sang.

The Ghost Absorption Lamp was stunned, its fierce expression receding. It turned around and moved the nether yang crystal back onto the Old Lady’s body.

Qiao Sang suddenly realized a problem.

The Ghost Absorption Lamp’s state without the nether yang crystal was clearly not right. Had it not been absorbing people’s vital essence?

Just then, the Old Lady on the bed slowly opened her eyes.

The Ghost Absorption Lamp was startled, instinctively putting away the nether yang crystal and becoming invisible.

“You’re here.” The Old Lady, seeing the sudden addition of a person in the room, was not surprised. She propped herself up, leaning against the bed, and spoke calmly.

Her attitude was completely different from yesterday…

Qiao Sang paused, just about to speak, when the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost suddenly floated in front of the Old Lady and gestured.

“Qunbao.”

“Xiao Xunbao.”

The Old Lady watched it quietly, a smile appearing on her face: “Yes, it seems that child used Hypnosis on you.”

“Dreams are subconscious activities. When in a dream, conscious activity stops, and the subconscious becomes active on its own. Logically, it shouldn’t be able to control your dreams, but its Hypnosis proficiency is very high, so it probably unconsciously permeated its own subconscious into your dream.”

“So everything you saw was what it experienced.” The Old Lady said this while turning to look at the empty space to her front left, a hint of tears in her cloudy eyes.

“I did say that at the very end, but perhaps that child was in too much pain at the time and didn’t hear it, which is why it didn’t stop.”

Qiao Sang only understood why the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost’s behavior was so strange after it woke up.

She followed the Old Lady’s gaze. The invisible Ghost Absorption Lamp was probably in that direction, and the Old Lady must have noticed…

Indeed, the Old Lady turned to Qiao Sang and said, “Thank you for helping me find this child. You never asked about the reward, so I never mentioned it.”

She opened the bedside table, took out a pet tamer badge from inside, and tossed it over: “Take this to the Yu Beast Center, and they will give you the item there.”

Qiao Sang was stunned: “Then I’ll return the badge to you later.”

The Old Lady said kindly, “No need. I won’t be using this badge anymore.”

Qiao Sang fell silent. For a Yu Beast Master, a pet tamer badge was a symbol of identity. How could it be that she wouldn’t use it, unless there was no possibility of ever using it again…

“Alright, you can go. I want to be alone with God Lamp for a while.” The Old Lady looked at the empty space to her front left with a gentle expression.

Qiao Sang stood still.

Ten-odd seconds later, the Old Lady couldn’t help but turn her head and say impatiently, “Why haven’t you left yet?”

This is much more pleasing to the eye… Qiao Sang thought.

“Um, please give a five-star review then.”

Old Lady: “…”
