Chapter 646: Nest Bar

Underground trading market… Qiao Sang was stunned; she had only seen underground trading markets in TV dramas.

“Can you send me the exact address?” Qiao Sang asked.

“No problem,” Love Me In Vain readily agreed.

Soon, Qiao Sang’s phone received a private message from the official website of the Yu Beast Center.

Qiao Sang hung up the phone and opened the message:

【39 Kaoxie Street】

Qiao Sang opened her navigation to check the distance: 11.2 kilometers.

Not too far…

She pondered for a moment, then went to a nearby clothing store and bought a black hooded jacket, and a pack of white medical masks from the pharmacy next door.

TV dramas always showed protagonists being targeted in underground trading markets for various reasons, and even getting robbed after finding good items.

Although she didn’t truly understand the situation of an underground trading market, it was better to be cautious.

Qiao Sang changed into the black jacket, using the shadow of the hood to obscure her general appearance, and then put on the mask.

“Tooth Treasure, Steel Treasure, you two are too conspicuous.

Go into the yu beast codex first; I need to keep a low profile where I’m going next,” Qiao Sang said.

Pets are the identification of a Yu Beast Master, especially rare Pets.

Some people might not remember a Yu Beast Master’s name and face, but as long as they see the Pet, they will remember the Yu Beast Master who owns that Pet.

Tooth Treasure is a Pet from Blue Star, and currently, it’s the only one in its Liao Xing Hound form.

Even if she disguised herself, if others had seen Tooth Treasure, they would remember her.

Steel Treasure is the brand new form of Little Steel Falcon; it’s too unique and easily remembered.

Taking them with her would make obscuring her appearance in the underground trading market meaningless.

“Ya Ya…”

Tooth Treasure showed a helpless expression.

It understood; it was too handsome, and with it around, there was no way to be low-key.

Qiao Sang: “…”

“Steel Guard.”

Steel Treasure nodded calmly.

Qiao Sang waved her hand, recalling them into the yu beast codex.

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Xiao Xunbao couldn’t help but appear and let out a cry.

Was it not conspicuous?

Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched: “You can turn invisible.”

“Xiao Xunbao?”

Xiao Xunbao showed a thoughtful expression.

Does that mean it shouldn’t appear in front of others later?

“Not necessarily,” Qiao Sang said.

“If I encounter danger, just act.”

The main reason for letting Xiao Xunbao stay outside, besides its invisibility, was to provide timely protection.

After all, this was the Middle Ten Districts where wild Pets could suddenly appear, so at least one Pet needed to be nearby to ensure safety.

“Xun!”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xunbao immediately perked up, nodding with a serious expression.

Her Yu Beast Master didn’t tell Ice Ke to act, but told it to act.

What did this mean?

It meant that in her Yu Beast Master’s heart, it was definitely stronger than Ice Ke!

Indeed, the position of second-in-command was still its!

Just as Xiao Xunbao was emotionally stirred, Qiao Sang spoke:

“Ice Ke, same for you, don’t show yourself casually.

If you encounter danger and Xiao Xunbao can’t handle it, then you come out.”

“Ice Ke.”

Ice Ke cried out from the backpack, indicating understanding.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao’s body instantly stiffened.

Can’t handle it…

Then you come out…

Does that mean…

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao gritted its teeth, its gaze firm.

There was nothing it couldn’t handle!

Qiao Sang was completely unaware of Xiao Xunbao’s determination.

She casually hailed a taxi and headed to the Ghost Nest Bar.

Ten-odd minutes later, Qiao Sang, wearing a hood and mask, walked into the Ghost Nest Bar.

The lighting was soft, with no noisy clamor or figures wildly dancing together.

The music was soothing, creating a strong atmosphere of a music bar.

A Pet, whose species Qiao Sang couldn’t name, was singing “woo woo” on stage.

Although she couldn’t understand what it was singing, the melody was undeniably good.

The booths were almost full of people.

At the entrance, a Staff member welcoming guests blocked Qiao Sang’s path:

“Hello, please show your ID card.”

“Why?” Qiao Sang asked.

“We need to check your age; minors are not allowed inside,” the Staff said.

Goodness, she almost forgot she was a minor… Qiao Sang paused, then said without changing her expression: “I forgot my ID card.

Can I use my pet tamer badge?”

Upon hearing this, the Staff’s smile immediately became much more respectful: “Of course.”

Qiao Sang took out her pet tamer badge, held it open in front of the Staff for a glance, and asked: “Is that enough?”

Although it was just a quick flash, the Staff clearly saw that it was a D-level Beastmaster’s pet tamer badge.

“Please come in.” The Staff stepped aside.

Actually, according to procedure, the pet tamer badge must display information, but since the other party was a D-level Beastmaster, the Staff subconsciously ruled out the possibility of her being a minor.

That was close, good thing she wore a mask… Qiao Sang quickly walked in and went to the bar.

She remembered that in TV dramas, information exchange and such always happened here.

“What would you like to drink?” The handsome bartender, wearing silver ear studs, asked with a smile.

Qiao Sang pushed her pet tamer badge forward, getting straight to the point: “I want to trade.”

The bartender’s smile remained unchanged:

“Won’t you have a drink before you go?”

“No,” Qiao Sang refused.

The bartender smiled and asked: “Is this your first time here?”

Qiao Sang hummed: “Someone introduced me here.”

“No wonder.” The bartender fiddled around, then pushed a glass of blue-green liquor towards her and said: “Have a sip.

Only after drinking it can you find the place you want to go.”

Qiao Sang hesitated for a moment, picked up the glass, pulled down her mask, and took a sip.

The moment she drank it, she smelled something similar to mint.

And even after she put the glass down, the smell still lingered.

Qiao Sang quickly put her mask back on, afraid the other party would see her face full of collagen and doubt her age.

“How much?” Qiao Sang asked.

“This drink is free,” the bartender said.

“Are you smelling a scent now?”

Was he talking about this minty smell?

Qiao Sang hummed.

The bartender smiled: “Follow this scent, and you can find the place you want to go.”

So magical… Qiao Sang was inwardly surprised, but her expression remained calm: “I understand.”

With that, she got up and walked in the direction of the minty scent.

She didn’t know why, but even though there were still various other smells like smoke in the air, the minty scent was exceptionally clear.

This underground trading market was quite mysterious; it would be so much better to just have someone lead the way, but they had to make you drink a glass of wine and follow a scent… Qiao Sang complained inwardly as she followed the minty scent in the air.

It seems she really is a Yu Beast Master… The bartender watched the young girl’s departing back for a while, then silently withdrew his gaze.

Qiao Sang followed the scent, turning and winding through many corridors, until she reached the door of a private room.

Laughter and chatter continuously came from the private room, clearly indicating people were inside.

But the minty scent was clearly inside… Qiao Sang was silent for a moment, then raised her hand and knocked on the door.

Soon, the door opened.

A Pet, almost entirely green with hair like a patch of grass on its head, appeared before Qiao Sang.

Almost the moment it appeared, Qiao Sang confirmed that the minty scent was coming from it.

“Bo Bo.”

The mint-scented Pet stepped aside and called out.

Qiao Sang roughly guessed its meaning and stepped inside.

The people inside instantly fell silent for a few seconds.

However, they quickly acted as if they hadn’t seen Qiao Sang and continued chatting and laughing.

“Bo Bo.”

The mint-scented Pet led Qiao Sang to the wall and knocked twice on a certain spot.

A secret door slowly opened.

Qiao Sang glanced inside; it was a staircase leading downwards.

PS: I might be back late tonight, but I don’t want to take a day off after you’ve given me so many monthly votes.

If tonight’s chapter isn’t posted, this chapter is for today. (End of chapter)
