Chapter 205: Steelfoot

“Brother, don’t make things difficult for us. If you continue like this, we’ll call the police,” one of the security guards with a chicken-nest-like hairstyle said cautiously.

The first thing he saw when he arrived was the Pet sleeping on the ground. He couldn’t identify its species, but just by its size, some would believe it was a High-level Pet.

For a moment, the chicken-nest-haired security guard suspected he hadn’t woken up yet.

Is it really that hard to find a job these days? Even a Yu Beast Master with a High-level Pet is working as a security guard…

Li Songhai’s expression grew increasingly grim.

He originally intended to act discreetly, not wanting to disturb Water Luyana, who was hiding in the community, which was why he applied to be a security guard. He didn’t expect not to find Water Luyana, and instead, this whole situation happened. It seemed he couldn’t continue being a security guard.

With such a big commotion, Water Luyana would likely detect his presence anyway. Finding Shui Di Chong was more important.

With that thought, Li Songhai decided not to be discreet anymore.

“You’re going too far! I already said I’m just here to find my Pet. Since you won’t let me in, I’ll just have to break through myself!” Li Songhai gritted his teeth and roared, “Steel Armor Foot Monster! Wake up!”

The two security guards were startled by this and quickly retreated a distance.

The one with the chicken-nest-like hair formed a hand seal and summoned his Pet.

…

Steel Armor Foot Monster… Qiao Sang, who was watching the surveillance footage in the house, felt a stir in her heart. She freed one hand, picked up her phone, and typed with one hand, looking down to enter the species name.

Soon, she found relevant information online.

[Steel Armor Foot Monster: Strange in appearance, a dual-attribute High-level Pet of the rock and Water-type from the Ancient Mist region, often inhabiting coastal areas.]

High-level Pet… Qiao Sang had guessed this when she saw the green star formation, so she wasn’t surprised.

She looked up and back at the surveillance footage.

The Sand Burrowing Rat summoned by the security guard outside would definitely not be an opponent.

If the situation escalated and alerted the police, they would trace back and discover the purpose of this Yu Beast Master from the Ancient Mist region working as a security guard.

Then, contracting Water Luyana would definitely be out of the question.

Thinking of this, Qiao Sang placed Water Luyana on the ground and said, “You stay in the house and don’t come out.”

“Lulu.”

Water Luyana saw that the human in front of her seemed to be going out and couldn’t help but show a worried expression.

Qiao Sang grinned and speculated, “You’re not worried about me, are you?”

“Lulu…”

Water Luyana’s body stiffened, and it turned its head away.

Seeing its awkward appearance, Qiao Sang said no more and turned to open the door to go out.

However, just as she reached out to open the door, she found Xiao Xunbao, holding Shui Di Chong, floating naturally beside her, looking at the doorway with an expression like a warrior going to battle.

Qiao Sang was startled and quickly let go of the doorknob, saying, “You don’t need to follow me. I’m just going out to reason with him, not to fight.”

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Xiao Xunbao tilted its head, its expression puzzled.

Reason? Would that work?

Qiao Sang assured it, “Don’t worry, that person just wants to get his Pet back. As long as Shui Di Chong is summoned back by him, this matter will be resolved.”

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao looked down at Shui Di Chong, whose eyes were closed, in its claws.

Was this guy really that important?

Qiao Sang followed its gaze downwards, suddenly remembered something, and said, “After I go out, you don’t need to control Shui Di Chong with Dark Shadow Control anymore.”

“Xiao Xunbao.”

Xiao Xunbao nodded.

Qiao Sang felt relieved and pushed the door open.

…

The moment she went out, Water Luyana looked at Xiao Xunbao and pointed at the monitor.

“Lulu… Lulu…”

It wanted to see what was happening outside and if Xiao Xunbao could pick it up.

Having spent this time with Water Luyana, Xiao Xunbao had developed some friendship. Remembering its Yu Beast Master saying there was no need to control Shui Di Chong anymore, it flicked its paw, casually throwing Shui Di Chong backward, and floated towards Water Luyana.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao spread its short arms, wanting to lift Water Luyana.

It tried, but couldn’t lift it.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao put in effort, lifted with all its might, but Water Luyana remained motionless.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao didn’t believe in bad luck and used all its strength, even its entire expression was straining.

But Water Luyana only lifted 0.01 centimeters off the ground before falling back down.

“Lulu.”

Water Luyana couldn’t help but show a look of disdain.

That human just now picked me up so easily, why is it so difficult for you?

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao was displeased, saying, “Isn’t it because you’re too heavy?”

“Lulu!”

Water Luyana looked devastated, then immediately argued back.

“Xiao Xunbao.” Xiao Xunbao extended its paw, making a stop gesture.

Don’t panic, it has another way.

“Lulu…” Water Luyana called out, expressing doubt.

“Xiao Xunbao.”

Xiao Xunbao extended a short toe, and the next second, the toe glowed blue.

Under the control of telekinesis, it very easily made Water Luyana float in front of the monitor.

…

When Qiao Sang went outside, she expected to see Steel Armor Foot Monster rampaging against Sand Burrowing Rat, but instead, she saw the Yu Beast Master from the Ancient Mist region with red eyes, looking incredibly wronged, facing the two security guards.

“I really just lost my Pet and can’t summon it back, why don’t you believe me?!” Li Songhai felt like he was going crazy.

Damn it, just when he finally made up his mind to cause a big scene and break in regardless of the consequences, at this critical moment, who would have thought that Steel Armor Foot Monster couldn’t be woken up!

Ah!

Heaven! Earth!

Why are you doing this to him?!

Just as Li Songhai was roaring inwardly, the door to apartment 1705, which he had been eagerly watching, opened.

He subconsciously turned his head and saw that it was precisely the young girl who had refused to open the door for him.

The girl showed a gentle smile: “It might all be a misunderstanding. I saw a stranger knocking on my door in the middle of the night and thought I had encountered some bad person, so I contacted you. Later, this uncle said he was a security guard here, so it should really just be that his Pet accidentally got lost.”

Li Songhai stood frozen in place, his expression stiff.

So, he had misunderstood her all along?

Qiao Sang glanced at the Steel Armor Foot Monster sleeping at the main entrance and said, “Uncle, can you please take this Pet back first?”

Watching the other party speak in such a soft, gentle voice, Li Songhai suddenly felt a surge of guilt welling up inside him.

Yes, she was still a child. Of course, she would be scared if someone she didn’t know knocked on her door late at night!

Let alone contacting the property management, calling the police would be perfectly normal.

But he had been so impatient and said such harsh words to her. If he had just calmed down to think and communicate, there wouldn’t have been so much trouble.

“Okay!”

Feeling in the wrong, Li Songhai quickly nodded, waved his hand, and recalled Steel Armor Foot Monster into his yu beast codex.

At this moment, the security guard with the chicken-nest-like hair spoke, “No matter what, him knocking on your door at this hour is wrong. Don’t worry, we will handle this matter properly.”

As he spoke, he signaled with his eyes to the Sand Burrowing Rat beside him to be ready to attack at any moment.

“Bop bop…”

The Sand Burrowing Rat’s eyelids were fighting, still struggling to open its eyes.

Li Songhai’s expression changed, and he was about to summon his Pet again.

“I can tell from this uncle’s face that he’s not a bad person.” Qiao Sang interjected at just the right moment, “Uncle, why don’t you try summoning your lost Pet back now? I’ve seen on TV dramas that some Yu Beast Masters’ Pet summons can be hit or miss.”

Everything in TV dramas is fake… Li Songhai saw how much the girl trusted him and felt too embarrassed to say it directly.

He waved his hand and said, “I’ve tried many times, and it’s… Holy crap!”
