Chapter 661: Happy cooperation (adding a second update to the leader Yanxinhua!

Three minutes later, the reply came back:

“I’m already on my way. It will take another ten-plus minutes. I’ll contact you when I arrive.”

Qiao Sang sent an “OK” gesture and put down her phone.

…

At the same time.

Yu Beast Center.

Third Floor Detection Hall.

Fei Lao Er looked at his phone, lost in thought.

“What’s wrong?” McCarthy asked when he saw this.

Fei Lao Er put down his phone and asked, “If the person with the ghost fire paste is really the kid who used Space Movement to take the Lava Beast away last night, do you think you could beat her?”

“What are you talking about? She’s just a kid. How could I…” McCarthy’s words trailed off suddenly because he thought of the terrifying Pet that rushed out of the volcano last night.

“Is she really just a kid?” Fei Lao Er continued to ask.

McCarthy chuckled, “Otherwise? She looks like a minor.”

“But her Pet is not a Pet a minor should possess,” Fei Lao Er mused.

McCarthy was stunned for a moment: “You mean…”

“Aren’t there some Pet skills that can change a person’s appearance?” Fei Lao Er said in a deep voice, “The way she looks to us might not be her true appearance.”

Upon hearing this, McCarthy’s expression became serious.

Indeed, he still remembered a piece of news from a year ago about a man who fell in love at first sight with a girl while traveling. He pursued her relentlessly and finally won her over on the last day of their trip before they parted ways. The two began a long-distance relationship, during which the man transferred about 1 million yuan. However, he was broken up with without ever seeing her again.

The man, unable to bear it, reported it to the police as fraud, though his real intention was to see the girl again.

The police investigation revealed that the ‘girl’ was actually male, 48 years old, and had been cursed by a Ghost-type Pet, temporarily transforming into the appearance of his own daughter.

This 48-year-old uncle chose to travel because he was ashamed for acquaintances to see his transformed appearance.

The deceived man was initially angry when he learned the truth, but upon hearing that the transformed appearance was the other party’s daughter, he immediately expressed forgiveness.

The uncle was very moved and introduced his daughter to him.

The two got married six months later, which was quite a marvel.

Fei Lao Er continued, speaking to himself:

“Cooperating or trading with someone whose true appearance is unknown is too dangerous. We should try to avoid direct contact as much as possible.”

McCarthy nodded, deeply agreeing.

“I’m going to the restroom first,” Fei Lao Er said, getting up and leaving.

He came to the first-floor lobby and handed a square box to the guide at the service center:

“Please, if someone asks for this later and hands you something else, give this to her.”

“Okay, sir,” the guide replied, taking the box and nodding.

Fei Lao Er turned and walked to a wall a dozen meters away, speaking into the air:

“When she gets close, if you don’t feel anything from the item she takes out, immediately take back the yin chao beads and leave.”

“Gui Gui,” a voice replied from the air.

Fei Lao Er glanced towards the service center, then picked up his phone and waited a few minutes before sending a message:

“Is your ghost fire paste enough for half a catty?”

…

Qiao Sang looked at the newly sent message and typed a reply:

“Enough.”

Fei Lao Er quickly replied: “I’ve already placed the item you want at the service center in the first-floor lobby. Hand the ghost fire paste to the Staff there and say someone left a box for you, and she’ll give you what you want.”

Why isn’t it a face-to-face transaction anymore? Qiao Sang pondered for a moment, then typed a question:

“How can I be sure your ss-grade yin chao pearl is authentic?”

The other party replied instantly:

“You know my appearance, so you can definitely find me. Besides, ss-grade yin chao pearl has a fatal attraction to Ghost-type Pets. You can let your Ghost-type Pet sense it. If you still don’t believe it, you can find an appraiser to appraise it before using it.”

This guy doesn’t seem to be afraid that the ghost fire paste I’m giving him is fake… Is he that trusting of me? No, for such an important transaction, how could he be at ease without seeing it with his own eyes? Qiao Sang recalled TV dramas she had watched and couldn’t help but start speculating about a conspiracy.

However, she immediately thought of Ya Bao’s current combat power and Xiao Xunbao’s Space Movement, and felt no fear.

At worst, she would meet force with force.

As one’s own strength grows, so does confidence.

Qiao Sang did not reply again and went to the service center on the first floor as the other party instructed.

She handed over the bottle, which already contained half a catty of ghost fire paste, and asked:

“Did someone leave a box just now?”

“Yes,” the Staff nodded, then handed over a square box: “A gentleman left it.”

Qiao Sang took the box, handed the bottle containing the ghost fire paste to the other party, and thanked her.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

At this moment, the invisible Xiao Xunbao called out.

Qiao Sang’s expression remained calm as she glanced towards the bottle.

Then she turned and headed to the women’s restroom.

Five minutes later, Qiao Sang emerged from the restroom, walked out of the Yu Beast Center, hailed a taxi, opened the door, and got in:

“Driver, to the airport.”

At the entrance of the Yu Beast Center, Fei Lao Er held the bottle of ghost fire paste, his gaze fixed on the direction the taxi departed.

…

In the taxi.

Xiao Xunbao materialized.

In the Middle Ten Districts, Pets suddenly appearing is a common occurrence, so the driver uncle remained calm, not even swerving the steering wheel.

“Take this,” Qiao Sang handed the box to Xiao Xunbao.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao took off its ring and placed the box inside.

Qiao Sang took out her phone, found the chat interface for “ss-grade yin chao pearl,” and typed a few words:

“Pleasure working with you.”

“Pleasure working with you,” the other party replied.

Qiao Sang put away her phone, happily enjoying the scenery outside.

The ss-grade yin chao pearl was real. She had specifically checked online, and besides having a special attraction to Ghost-type Pets, ss-grade yin chao pearl contains visible purple crystals with a diameter of 1cm or more, and under the influence of Ghost-type energy, thin, cicada-wing-like purple threads appear.

The yin chao beads in the box indeed met all the requirements.

…

At 2 PM the next day, Qiao Sang arrived in the First District by airship.

As soon as she disembarked, she formed hand seals and summoned Lu Bao and Steel Treasure.

Qiao Sang put on the backpack containing Lu Bao and navigated according to the location she had checked before coming.

Nearly an hour later, she arrived at a housing agency.

A black woman in professional attire hurried over: “Excuse me, how may I help you?”

“I’d like to rent a house,” Qiao Sang said.

Houses on Super Dormant Star are only allowed to be purchased by people from Super Dormant Star, unless the Yu Beast Master wishing to purchase a house is an A-grade talent, in which case they can exceptionally qualify for purchase. She had looked into this.

The female agent asked, “Do you have any requirements for the house?”

She had no intention of asking about the budget.

Just by looking at the unfamiliar bird-type Pet beside her, she had no doubt about the wealth of the young girl in front of her.
