Chapter 199: Chapter 189: Good Luck by Association
However, human joys and sorrows do not always resonate with each other, and as Qiao Sang faced the girl with a sorrowful expression, the thought that ca to her mind was, “I wonder which clothing store the Illusion Water baby is working at, it’s almost the change of seasons, and I could buy a few pieces of autumn clothing to wear…”
The Illusion Water baby might not be a rare pet beast, but it’s not common to see one working in a clothing store.
At least, she had never encountered one when shopping in a physical store.
Just as Qiao Sang was about to ask, the girl suddenly spoke up, “Have you finished your sumr howork yet?”
Qiao Sang shook her head, “I haven’t.”
The girl’s face lit up with joy, “Then I can do it for you!”
Qiao Sang was taken aback for two seconds before responding, “I’m a recent graduate; I don’t have any sumr howork.”
The girl: “…”
She had calculated every possibility but had never considered that the other person might not have any sumr howork…
“Is there anything you don’t want to do but have to? I can help you with it,” the girl didn’t give up.
Unwarranted help is either mischief in the making or an ulterior motive, it looks like she’s not a social butterfly but soone with a clear purpose looking for her… Qiao Sang asked, “Why do you want to help ?”
“I’d like you to get in touch with your classmate for ,” the girl said hesitantly, “I’ve been unable to contact him recently, and waiting at the school gate hasn’t worked either.”
If Qiao Sang didn’t know the full story, she might imagine a ssy breakup between lovers with the guy going AWOL based on that single statent.
“He usually lives at school,” Qiao Sang replied, “It was only because he had sothing to do these past few days that he stayed off campus.”
“No wonder…” murmured the girl.
Just by hearing the girl ask about Shi Gaofeng, Qiao Sang knew that she hadn’t given up on fixing the bad review, but Qiao Sang understood that it was unlikely to happen.
Shi Gaofeng had been full of resentnt about cleaning the toilets these past few days; she could feel his aura of grievance even from dozens of ters away.
“Could you talk to him for ? If you can persuade him to change the bad review, for a whole sester, anyti you don’t want to go to school, I can have the Illusion Water baby take your place,” the girl said, looking at Qiao Sang with hopeful eyes.
Qiao Sang’s expression didn’t change one bit.
Ha, does she look like that kind of person?
What’s the most important thing for a student?
It’s studying!
She struggled hard to get into the best high school in the city; what for?
It was so she could study hard!
The idea of having the Illusion Water baby attend class for her had never even crossed her mind.
But just the thought of it made her feel… er, pretty aweso.
Eventually, Qiao Sang said expressionlessly, “Deal.”
…
After adding contact information, the two grew much more familiar with each other.
Qiao Sang also learned that the girl’s na was Xu Jia, a senior student at Hangkang’s Sixth Beast Taming High School, who was recently working hard to save money for the Illusion Water baby’s evolutionary materials.
While chatting idly, Qiao Sang picked up three cups of freshly made milk teas from the server, and the eager Treasure-seeking Ghost imdiately materialized, floating over to sniff the milk tea.
This appearance led to Qiao Sang’s surroundings instantly clearing of people.
“Xun~”
The Treasure-seeking Ghost pointed its short toes at the milk tea and looked up curiously at its Beast Tar.
“It’s delicious, try it,” Qiao Sang said as she inserted a straw into one of the cups and held it up to the Treasure-seeking Ghost.
“Xun…”
The Treasure-seeking Ghost hesitated for a mont before taking a sip.
“Search!”
Watching the treasure-seeking ghost revel in pleasure, Xu Jia finally gathered the courage to return to Qiao Sang’s side.
“Aweso, the students from Shengshui Middle School really are different. No one at our school has contracted with a spectral-type pet beast,” Xu Jia said admiringly.
“Spectral-type pet beasts are actually quite good,” Qiao Sang said, looking at Xiao Xunbao who was curving its eyes into crescent moons because of the milk tea.
“So did you co here today because of the green and red fruits?” Xu Jia suddenly asked.
Qiao Sang shook her head, “No, why would you think that?”
The green and red fruits, highly valued by spectral-type pet beasts with ghost fla skills, were far from cheap.
But this had nothing to do with Xiao Xunbao.
After all, even if it developed ghost flas later, it would use the ring as a dium, releasing energy absorbed from within. If the energy absorbed by the ring was depleted, naturally the ghost flas would disappear as well.
Since it didn’t rely on its own energy to release ghost flas, the green and red fruits didn’t attract Xiao Xunbao at all.
“I thought you ca after seeing the news,” Xu Jia explained. “There was a crack to a secret realm here recently, right outside the mall near the musical fountain. Several spectral-type pet beasts erged from it.”
“A passerby happened to go by, and I don’t know if he specialized in brainwashing pets for pyramid sches or sothing, but he traded a sausage for a green and red fruit with a Dreamless Doll that ca out and the next day, he went to pick up a new car.”
“Once the news spread, this place beca popular. Many people co here to check in, hoping to get lucky and stumble upon a naive wild pet beast, just like that passerby did.”
On hearing this, Qiao Sang was stunned for a while. The Dreamless Doll? It couldn’t be the sa one she encountered, could it…?
But then again, it wasn’t impossible.
The Dreamless Doll she saw really didn’t seem that smart; otherwise, it wouldn’t have believed such a ridiculous story about passing through a secret room to et a Black Ram and make a wish…
If it really was the sa, though, Qiao Sang felt unbalanced inside.
So others et a Dreamless Doll and earn enough for a car, and she ets one and almost ends up in the hospital?
To make herself feel better, Qiao Sang arrived at a conclusion.
These two Dreamless Dolls absolutely couldn’t be the sa one!
…
After saying goodbye to Xu Jia, Qiao Sang left the mall and went to the area near the musical fountain in the plaza.
She hadn’t paid much attention when she first arrived, but now she noticed that seven out of ten stalls here were selling sausages.
After wrestling with the thought for two seconds, Qiao Sang went to the sausage stall closest to her and said, “Boss, give
four sausages.”
“You got it, 12 yuan total,” the boss bagged up the four sausages and handed them to Qiao Sang with enthusiasm, “You’re here to check in too, right? Walk forward about ten ters, and you’re there. I was here myself, can’t miss it.”
Qiao Sang was silent for a mont, “Thank you.”
Carrying three sausages and two cups of milk tea, Qiao Sang arrived at the spot the boss ntioned.
Xiao Xunbao was beside her, holding a milk tea in its left claw and a sausage in its right, alternating bites of sausage with sips of milk tea, a face of pleasure.
Looking at the five Violinduck pulling at their violins and the crowd surrounding them to watch and take photos, Qiao Sang suddenly felt a bit foolish.
The crack to the secret realm was no longer there, how could she chance upon a wild pet beast with a few screws loose? She really had been infected with silliness from spending too much ti with Yaobao…
Just as Qiao Sang turned to leave, Yu Guang’s gaze suddenly caught sothing, and she froze on the spot.
A massive head, stubby limbs, a diagonal hook-like purple tail, and a purple crown on the forehead, wasn’t that the 100… Crown Cat?!
No, wait…
Qiao Sang quickly cald down. This Crown Cat wasn’t wearing a sun hat, sunglasses, and a bag.
And, there was soone beside it, seeming quite close.
That must be its Beast Tar.
