Chapter 635: Save me

The boy instinctively clutched his head and explained, “I saw her holding a Pet, so I thought she wasn’t a powerful Yu Beast Master.”

The man with the two-pronged mustache forcefully pulled him aside and warned, “I told you, even those F-rank Yu Beast Masters aren’t people you can just lay hands on!”

The boy lowered his head, making it impossible to see his expression: “I understand.”

“Lift your head.” The man with the two-pronged mustache said, looking at the approaching subway, “Keep working.”

Qiao Sang stepped into the train car with Steel Treasure.

“Next stop, Terry Station.”

The broadcast sounded, and the train doors closed.

Qiao Sang found a seat and sat down.

Steel Treasure stayed by her side, causing the passengers to subtly keep their distance from her.

Yu Beast Masters were not uncommon, but most of the passengers on this subway line were from the Left Pang District, and the vast majority were ordinary people who worked hard daily in Right Pang City. They were accustomed to maintaining a distance from Yu Beast Masters.

Suddenly, a thin figure sat down next to her.

Qiao Sang was looking down at her phone, scrolling, and didn’t pay attention.

She was currently looking at her Moments.

After she posted her Imperial Beast Academy admission letter on her Moments last time, besides relatives and some people she coincidentally added, there were no comments from her former classmates. She had thought that everyone had lost touch because it had been too long, but now seeing the dense replies, she realized that today was a weekend, and everyone had just gotten their phones.

Poor high school students… Qiao Sang felt sympathy for a second for her classmates who still had to attend classes and hand in their phones on time.

“Where did you find this picture? It looks quite convincing.”

“If I didn’t know you were a slacker, I would have almost believed it.”

“How are the Pets on Super Dormant Star? Are there any you want to contract?”

“Wow! You actually posted on Moments! But what the heck did you post?”

“Please give me the original picture, I also want to photoshop an admission letter with my name on it!”

“So this is what the Imperial Beast Academy admission letter looks like, I’ve learned something new, but what I’m concerned about now is something else, why can you play with your phone?!”

Qiao Sang looked at the replies below, a smile playing on her lips.

“Steel Guard!”

Just then, Steel Treasure suddenly extended its wing over Qiao Sang’s knee and firmly pressed it against the pocket on her other side.

Qiao Sang felt the movement and looked down, discovering that Steel Treasure had pinned down a hand that was currently reaching into her pocket.

No way… Qiao Sang turned her head and saw a face that wasn’t entirely unfamiliar.

Brown hair, a thin face, looking a bit malnourished—it was the boy who had stolen the Chan Chan Stone not long ago.

Well, well, it’s you again. You’re really just targeting her, aren’t you… Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched instinctively.

She hadn’t expected that even with Steel Treasure summoned beside her, besides Ya Bao, someone would still try to target her.

And it was the same person twice, which was simply too much.

Did she look like someone who was easy to steal from?

“Steel Treasure, don’t let him run.” Qiao Sang said, pulling out her phone to call the Police Station.

Originally, she thought he was young and didn’t want to waste time, but she didn’t expect him to steal from her twice in a row.

It was already absurd that she had changed her subway route and still encountered him. This guy was definitely a repeat offender and needed to be sent to the Police Station for a good education.

“Ya Ya!”

Before Steel Treasure could answer, Ya Bao placed its paw on the boy’s hand and let out a cry, indicating that it would handle it and absolutely wouldn’t let this guy escape!

“Steel Guard.”

Steel Treasure nodded and retracted its wing.

It was currently sitting on the other side of its Yu Beast Master, and holding him down like that was quite inconvenient.

Ya Bao was currently in its miniature state, and its paws were pitifully small, looking soft and cute, without any deterrent effect.

But the boy seemed to be frightened, his hand motionless.

Qiao Sang only thought that the boy still remembered Ya Bao’s enlarged form and knew he couldn’t escape.

“Please don’t call the Police Station!” A voice suddenly sounded from in front.

Qiao Sang looked up, narrowing her eyes, and saw a man in black, around thirty years old, with a two-pronged mustache.

“My child is still young, can you please let him go this once? I will discipline him well.” The man said sincerely.

After speaking, he forcefully slapped the boy’s head and sternly said:

“Hurry up and apologize to the Yu Beast Master!”

Yu Beast Master… Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment.

To be honest, it was her first time hearing someone address her like that…

The boy was silent for a moment, then whispered:

“I’m sorry.”

At the same time, Qiao Sang felt something, and her heart tightened, though her expression remained unchanged.

The surrounding passengers’ gazes gathered.

Seeing that Qiao Sang didn’t respond immediately, some passengers with overflowing compassion couldn’t help but say:

“Let it go, he’s still a child.”

“Let him go home and get a beating from his family. I believe that after this time, he won’t dare to do it again.”

“His dad is here, he definitely won’t have a next time.”

The vast majority of people present were ordinary people. They admired Yu Beast Masters, but also naturally empathized with ordinary people like themselves. Seeing that the Yu Beast Master was also just a young child, they all stood on the same side.

Others were uninterested and didn’t want to get involved in trouble.

The man with the two-pronged mustache saw so many people speaking up for him and felt that the matter should be settled. He then reached out to pull the boy back.

“Ya!”

As soon as he reached out, Ya Bao bared its teeth, revealing a fierce expression.

The man with the two-pronged mustache was startled and stiffly withdrew his hand.

He remembered what this Pet looked like when it grew larger.

It was about three meters tall, almost occupying half the train car, which was terrifying.

The people around also immediately fell silent. Their premise for standing together was that the Yu Beast Master remained quiet and didn’t express any anger. Once the Yu Beast Master or her Pet made any move, they didn’t dare to speak.

“Terry Station has arrived. Please take your belongings and prepare to exit the train.” The broadcast sounded at this moment.

Qiao Sang ignored everyone, reached out and grabbed the boy’s hand, and as she stood up and walked out of the train car, she said into her newly connected phone:

“Someone stole my belongings on the subway. I’m currently at Terry Station…”

The boy was silently pulled along, offering no resistance.

The man with the two-pronged mustache looked angrily at the boy’s retreating back, struggled for a moment, and chose not to follow.

The train doors closed.

His son was taken away, and he didn’t even follow… Everyone looked at the man with strange eyes.

The man with the two-pronged mustache ignored their gazes, instead pulling out his phone and dialing a number:

“Is Mr. Fane at Terry Station right now?”

…

Terry Station.

Qiao Sang released the boy’s hand and said:

“He didn’t follow.”

Just now, when the other party was saying sorry, she felt that the hand he had placed in her pocket wrote two words:

“Save me.”

The boy turned his head, repeatedly confirming that the man truly hadn’t followed, and said from the bottom of his heart: “Thank you!”

Then he thought of something and asked: “Did you really call the Police Station just now?”

Qiao Sang nodded: “Yes, I did.”

Previously, she had indeed wanted the boy to be educated by the police. Later, she thought that if the other party wasn’t lying to her, it would be good for the police to come so he could explain the whole situation to them.

“That’s good.” The boy breathed a slight sigh of relief.

It seemed like he actually hoped the police would come… Qiao Sang asked:

“Can you tell me what the situation is exactly?”

The boy was silent for a moment, then said: “I can tell you, but can you stay with me until the police arrive?”

Otherwise, what? I’m the one who called the Police Station… Qiao Sang hummed in agreement.

“Ya Ya!”

At this moment, Ya Bao bared its teeth and cried out.

Qiao Sang’s heart stirred, and she smiled: “Let’s change places first.”

What? The boy was startled.

“Xiao Xunbao.” Qiao Sang said, looking at the air beside her.

“Xun Xun~”

Xiao Xunbao appeared, its eyes glowing blue.

The boy was startled. Before he could react, he felt his vision go black.

The next second, a circle of soft, earthy yellow ripples spread out from where the boy had originally stood. Where the ripples swept, the hard ground rapidly turned to sand.

A middle-aged man wearing a black bowler hat walked out from behind a pillar not far away, frowning:

“Space Movement…”
