Chapter 186: Inspiration for finding pets

Qiao Sang was quite bewildered by her first experience as a sparring partner.

Fortunately, she asked the Miss at the front desk, and even if the sparring time hadn’t ended, her wages wouldn’t be deducted.

From this perspective, although the Hongying Pet Battle Club is not large in scale, its system is quite humane.

…

Upon returning home, Qiao Sang immediately summoned Ya!

“Ya!”

As soon as Ya! came out, it happily rubbed its head against Qiao Sang.

By now, Ya! had grown accustomed to staying in the yu beast codex from time to time, but no matter how many times it emerged from the yu beast codex, it always had the same excitement as the first time.

Qiao Sang stroked Ya!’s furry head and suddenly said, “How about I take you to dye your fur?”

“Ya Ya!” Ya! instantly recoiled a step and shook its head frantically.

How could she lay hands on its handsome fur!

“But if you don’t change your look, it’ll be hard for you to accompany me out in public with your handsome appearance,” Qiao Sang said.

Just like when Ya! was a Fire Fang Dog, people would actively keep their distance when it rode the bus.

Now that it had evolved into a Yan Ling Dog, even though it was still a Fire-type Pet and its Superpower System attribute had not been widely publicized, people’s attitudes had not only undergone a complete reversal, but its popularity also lasted longer than other new evolutionary forms of Pets in the past.

Besides being the latest evolutionary form of the Fire Fang Dog, a major reason for this was its appearance.

When Withered Vine, another evolutionary form of Sprinkling Gold Vine, first appeared, the photos shared by netizens were almost all secretly taken from a distance, unlike the Yan Ling Dog, which people wanted to take close-up photos with.

The world of appearance-driven people is sometimes just that realistic.

“Ya…”

Ya!’s expression was helpless. Did it really have to dye its fur?

“Xun~”

Just then, Xiao Xunbao spread its paws, indicating that not dyeing its fur wasn’t a big deal.

“Ya.” Ya! turned its head and looked at Xiao Xunbao expectantly.

I can’t even figure it out, what could a little one-month-old like you possibly do… Qiao Sang raised an eyebrow and said, “What idea do you have?”

“Jie jie jie…”

Xiao Xunbao didn’t answer immediately. Instead, it seemed to think of something, covered its mouth, and let out a devilish laugh, quite like a villain.

Qiao Sang froze for a long while upon hearing that laugh.

She hadn’t expected Xiao Xunbao could make such a sound…

When Xiao Xunbao had laughed enough, it called out to its Yu Beast Master.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

It wouldn’t say now, but she would know tomorrow morning.

Goodness, it even knows how to keep people in suspense… Qiao Sang smiled and said, “But you can’t get up in the mornings these days.”

“Ya.”

Ya! nodded, indicating that was indeed the case.

Xiao Xunbao’s expression instantly froze.

“Xun…”

It struggled for a moment and then called out, promising that it would definitely get up tomorrow morning.

“Alright, then I’ll count on you tomorrow.” Although Qiao Sang didn’t think Xiao Xunbao could have any good ideas, she still gave it affirmation.

After speaking, she prepared to go to the bathroom to wash up and then go to sleep.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Having only walked a few steps, Xiao Xunbao teleported in front of Qiao Sang and called out.

Qiao Sang looked at it in confusion and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Xiao Xunbao~” Xiao Xunbao squirmed a bit and gestured towards its head.

Did she remember the gaming helmet she promised to let it play with?

Qiao Sang: “…”

…

The next morning, Qiao Sang woke up to find that Xiao Xunbao was indeed awake, and on its left cheek, there was a well-shaped scar drawn with a black pen.

Ya! was staring at it with an expression of complete novelty.

Qiao Sang initially thought Xiao Xunbao drew the scar on its face just for fun, until they left the house.

On the way to school.

Ya! walked proudly down the street, its four limbs striding, and Qiao Sang, riding on its back, almost cried with emotion.

She never expected happiness to come so suddenly!

Without needing to dye its fur or change its appearance, and without waiting for the Yan Ling Dog’s popularity to fade, Ya! could walk openly and unimpeded on the street.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao was not invisible today; instead, it appeared on Qiao Sang’s head, occasionally showing a fierce-looking expression to passersby who tried to get closer.

Passersby dared not meet its gaze and quickened their pace, pulling away.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang couldn’t help but sigh internally. How could she not have thought of this?

Although Xiao Xunbao’s current appearance was not at all scary, the reputation of Ghost-type Pets was well-known, and almost no one wanted to be targeted by a Ghost-type Pet.

In places where Ghost-type Pets were present, most people, except for Professional Beast Tamers, generally adopted an attitude of avoiding them.

Xiao Xunbao’s mind was truly sharp…

Qiao Sang enjoyed the surrounding scenery with a comfortable mood.

Soon, an advertising airship passing overhead caught her attention.

Qiao Sang leisurely looked up.

In the past, she had to watch the road and rush, so she had no time to pay attention to the TV screen on the airship, but now it was different; she had all the time in the world to watch.

“Breaking news: A lost Pet announcement. Last night at 8:12 PM, a Ke Guan Meow went missing from Gubei Mansion. It is female, 35 centimeters tall, wearing a wavy wide-brimmed straw hat and black cat-shaped framed sunglasses. The last surveillance footage shows it also carrying a cheese-colored square bag.”

“Its whereabouts are currently unknown. A reward of 200,000 will be given for accurate information. A reward of 1,000,000 will be given in person for escorting it home. Contact person: Wang Yiding, phone number…”

The airship gradually flew away.

Qiao Sang sat on Ya!’s back, lost in thought. She was silent for a long while before asking, “Xiao Xunbao, did you see that just now?”

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao nodded vigorously.

It saw it!

Someone was secretly taking pictures nearby just now!

Qiao Sang murmured, “So, I wasn’t mistaken. The Ke Guan Meow that came to us for sparring yesterday was the one shown on the airship screen just now…”

“Xun?”

Xiao Xunbao tilted its head.

What was its Yu Beast Master saying? Why couldn’t it understand?

“So, I brushed past 1,000,000 yesterday…” Qiao Sang mumbled to herself in a daze.

1,000,000… 1,000,000! Oh my goodness! What did she Miss yesterday?!

Qiao Sang roared internally.

She knew it! How could a Yu Beast Master be so careless! To let a Ke Guan Meow be out alone!

It turned out it ran away on its own!

Qiao Sang felt nothing but regret, her previously good mood completely gone.

No! A reward of 200,000 for accurate information!

Qiao Sang suddenly realized.

She still had 200,000!

Right, the contact person was Wang Yiding, what was the phone number again…

Qiao Sang’s brain worked at high speed, and her blood seemed to be boiling.

She didn’t know that at this moment, her brain cells were unusually active, and many specks of light were gathering into her yu beast codex.

The scene in her mind began to reverse.

“…The last surveillance footage shows it also carrying a cheese-colored square bag. Its whereabouts are currently unknown. A reward of 200,000 will be given for accurate information. A reward of 1,000,000 will be given in person for escorting it home. Contact person: Wang Yiding, phone number 1390000…”

Just then, the vibrating sound of her phone interrupted Qiao Sang’s recollection.

Damn it! Which jerk was calling at this time!

Qiao Sang angrily pressed the answer button.

“Who!”

“Hello, is this Miss Qiao Sang? I’m Wang Yiding. I received news that you helped a Ke Guan Meow with sparring at the Hongying Pet Battle Club last night.”

“That Ke Guan Meow is actually my Pet. It had a spat with me yesterday and ran away from home. Did it tell you anything during the sparring? Do you know where it went afterwards?”

“Can you tell me? I’m really anxious.”

“Hello, Miss Qiao Sang? Are you there?”

“Hello? Hello?”
