Chapter 84: It is release

“I want to ask you to help me steal something,” Ye Jingwen replied.

Oh, it’s not about borrowing money, then it’s fine.

But stealing something…

Qiao Sang looked at Ye Jingwen with a strange expression, thinking, ‘So you’re that kind of person…’

Ye Jingwen clearly understood what Qiao Sang’s facial expression was trying to convey.

“It’s not what you think. I just want you to help me steal a Magnetic Armored Rat out,” Ye Jingwen quickly explained.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, “Steal a Pet? You found a wild Magnetic Armored Rat’s den?”

In towns and villages, the control over wild extraordinary creatures is not as strict as in the cities.

Moreover, Qunbao Town is close to mountains and water, and some wild extraordinary creatures often appear.

Without resources and Yu Beast Masters, these wild extraordinary creatures are basically in their Beginner form, making it difficult for them to advance further.

The town government, seeing that they pose little danger, didn’t really manage them.

If there were public reports, they would dispatch personnel, but if not, they wouldn’t go out of their way to increase their workload by conducting special patrols.

This led some people to sniff out business opportunities.

The capture of wild Pets usually takes place in secret realms.

Yu Beast Masters capturing wild Pets are not necessarily doing so to form a contract, but possibly for profitable trade.

If Ye Jingwen found a Magnetic Armored Rat’s den and wanted Qiao Sang to get a few out to sell, it would be understandable.

Because the Alliance stipulates that only Yu Beast Masters are allowed to sell wild Pets.

Leaving aside whether ordinary people can capture wild Pets through other methods, even if they do capture one, it’s easy for it to break free if they’re not careful, offering no guarantee or safety.

However, Qiao Sang still had some things she couldn’t figure out.

How could finding a wild Pet’s den and capturing it be called stealing?

This matter made it understandable why Ye Jingwen didn’t ask Ye Ranran for help, because public officials cannot participate in such Pet trading incidents.

But doesn’t she also have a Yu Beast Master father?

There’s no reason not to think of her own father first for a money-making opportunity.

Before Qiao Sang could figure it out, Ye Jingwen had already explained, “What are you thinking? I’m not asking you to steal from the Magnetic Armored Rat’s den. My friend caught a Magnetic Armored Rat in the mountains, and I want you to steal it out and release it.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

Ye Jingwen continued, “A few days ago, I went up the mountain to look for some Bajiao Grass, and I ran into a Fluffy Entangling Spider. The Magnetic Armored Rat came out and saved me. If it weren’t for it, I’d probably be lying in the hospital right now.”

Qiao Sang raised an eyebrow, signaling her to continue.

“Then when I went back, I told my friend about it, and he said to buy some things that Magnetic Armored Rats like to eat and go up the mountain to thank it. But on the day we went, which was the day before yesterday, he actually brought his dad.”

At this point, Ye Jingwen was clearly a little angry: “He lied to me! He said it was to thank the Magnetic Armored Rat, but it was actually to catch it.”

Her words sounded less like a complaint against a normal friend and more like the hatred one would feel for a scumbag.

Ye Jingwen’s tone shifted, and she blamed herself: “If the Magnetic Armored Rat hadn’t still recognized me, it definitely wouldn’t have been so easily tricked out by some food.”

She still remembered the Magnetic Armored Rat’s gaze at her at that time.

Qiao Sang was silent for a moment, then asked, “This friend of yours wouldn’t happen to be your boyfriend, would he?”

Ye Jingwen: “!!!”

Seeing Ye Jingwen’s shocked expression, Qiao Sang understood everything. She said earnestly, “Early romance is not good.”

She had thought Ye Jingwen was fully dedicated to her studies, but it turned out she was balancing both studies and romance…

“He’s not my boyfriend anymore,” Ye Jingwen retorted.

This also indirectly confirmed their previous relationship.

The Little Treasure Hunting Ghost had been listening to their conversation, and just as Ye Jingwen finished speaking, it took out milk from its ring and handed it over.

“Xun~”

Ye Jingwen was startled.

She looked at the words “For Young Pets Only” on the milk bottle and politely declined, “Thank you, I’m not thirsty.”

After refusing the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost, Ye Jingwen said seriously, “Qiao Sang, can you help me steal the Magnetic Armored Rat out? Besides you, I can’t think of anyone else.”

After speaking, she silently glanced at the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost, who had put the milk back into its ring.

“Ya Ya!”

“Ya!”

The Fire Fang Dog held the milk in its left paw and patted its chest with its right, looking like it had everything under control.

Qiao Sang said sternly, “Steal what?”

Ye Jingwen immediately looked a little disappointed.

Actually, there were some things she hadn’t mentioned.

If Zhang Huai could have found a Yu Beast Master to contract the Magnetic Armored Rat through normal channels, that would have been fine.

But he told her that his dad had found a buyer and was going to sell the Magnetic Armored Rat to a gourmet.

The Magnetic Armored Rat falling into the hands of a gourmet, its fate was self-evident.

This was also the part she couldn’t accept.

She was already preparing to resign herself to fate, but then her cousin returned to Qiao Sang’s Old Home at that very moment.

If her cousin only had a Fire Fang Dog, she wouldn’t have brought this up, but unexpectedly, her cousin had also contracted a Treasure Hunting Ghost.

The existence of the Treasure Hunting Ghost made her think of the idea of stealing.

“This isn’t stealing, this is releasing it into the wild,” Qiao Sang continued.

Ye Jingwen’s eyes lit up, and she instantly became excited, nodding repeatedly in agreement: “Yes, it’s not stealing! It’s releasing it into the wild!”

Qiao Sang wasn’t someone who was overly sentimental, but since the matter involved her own family, her perspective on the problem would naturally lean towards her own family.

It sounded easy, but actually carrying it out wouldn’t be that simple.

First, relying on the Fire Fang Dog was impossible, because it only confronted things head-on.

The task of releasing it could only be done by the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost.

But the Little Treasure Hunting Ghost was only three days old, and hadn’t used any skills yet. Letting it act alone, away from her, always felt a bit unsettling…

…

11:20 PM.

Qiao Sang and Ye Jingwen arrived downstairs at a residential community in the town center on their bicycles.

The Fire Fang Dog had already fallen asleep and was put away by Qiao Sang into her yu beast codex.

The Little Treasure Hunting Ghost, being a Ghost-type Pet, was especially energetic at night and didn’t like to sleep.

“Is this the place?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Yes,” Ye Jingwen nodded.

“Xun~”

The Little Treasure Hunting Ghost called out, but its figure couldn’t be seen anywhere around.

Only Qiao Sang, who had a contract with it, accurately nodded in a certain direction.

On the other side.

In the dim room, gnawing sounds constantly emanated, occasionally interspersed with the sizzling of electricity.

The Magnetic Armored Rat looked at the unchanging cage, filled with despair.

It slumped, looking at the night outside the window, wondering if its beloved would fall for someone else if it knew it was gone…

The fruits on the mountain should be ripe in a few days. It wondered if it would ever have a chance to eat them again…

Humans, all humans!

It hadn’t even had a chance to taste the food that lured it out in the first place, such a loss!

The Magnetic Armored Rat grew hungrier the more it thought about it. It got up angrily and bit the iron cage, turning its grief and indignation into strength.

Suddenly, a bottle of milk appeared suspended in thin air before its eyes.

The Magnetic Armored Rat remained in its gnawing posture, momentarily frozen.

It suddenly realized something and sharply turned its head to look at its tail.

It saw that its tail had somehow turned into a lightning shape.

Oh my goodness!

It’s a Ghost-type creature!

Sorry for the delay…
