Chapter 248: Chapter 236 Love’s Power
Li Songhai’s gaze shifted evasively as he said, “I think you might have so misunderstanding about , I wasn’t following you. I was already there, just standing around, and for so reason, your spectral-type pet beast used hypnotism and knocked
out.”
“Is that so?” Qiao Sang said, “By your logic, was it also a misunderstanding when your flight-type pet beast sneak attacked
from behind?”
Hearing this, Li Songhai nodded desperately, “It’s all a misunderstanding, really. I haven’t been bonded with Yu Chi Yan for very long, and haven’t trained it well, so it randomly used its skills on the road.”
Qiao Sang stared at Li Songhai, her dark eyes akin to watching a performing clown, and after a while, she spoke, “Then what about later, when your Steelclad Step Beast tried to snatch the pet beast from my backpack?”
Li Songhai braced himself and t her gaze, instantly feeling the pressure multiply.
He hadn’t expected a high school student to be so imposing.
Even less expected was that the Steelclad Step Beast, after he had fainted, didn’t forget to grab Shuilu Yana.
How was he supposed to co up with an excuse now…
“Do you know about mory reading?” Qiao Sang asked at this mont.
Li Songhai was startled for a mont, “I do.”
mory reading, a high-level skill of spectral-type pet beasts, allows it to float into the target’s brain and directly access the mories deep within the target’s consciousness.
Although this skill is incredibly powerful in interrogating criminals, the Alliance has rules forbidding its use on humans until the proficiency in mory reading reaches a certain level of mastery.
On one hand, it concerns privacy and other human rights issues.
On the other hand, mory reading that’s not proficient enough could cause cerebral palsy, and in severe cases, lead to symptoms of dentia.
Li Songhai didn’t understand why the girl in front of him was suddenly talking about this—it was frightening.
Qiao Sang put on a pleasant smile again, “If you don’t tell the truth, I’ll have Xiao Xunbao use mory reading on you.”
“Xun.”
Xiao Xunbao grinned just in ti.
Li Songhai looked up at Xiao Xunbao in astonishnt.
“Your pet beast knows mory reading?!” Li Songhai asked in disbelief.
This pet beast clearly looked like a low-level one, how could it possibly know a high-level skill!
Wait… Li Songhai suddenly realized sothing, and his nerves tensed up.
If this spectral-type pet beast was as simple as it appeared, how could his Steelclad Step Beast and Yu Chi Yan have been knocked down…
While Li Songhai was half doubtful, Qiao Sang delivered the final blow.
“Xiao Xunbao, mory reading,” Qiao Sang said.
“Xun~”
Xiao Xunbao cooperated very well, pretending to float toward the direction of Li Songhai’s head.
“I’ll talk! I’ll talk!” Li Songhai shouted desperately, fearing that if he was too late, the spectral-type pet beast would really float into his brain.
Having cerebral palsy was a minor issue, but having his mories accessed and privacies known was a major one!
Although he still didn’t quite believe that this apparently low-level spectral-type pet beast could perform a high-level skill, he couldn’t afford to take the risk.
One could die, but absolutely could not face social death!
Who knows how many secrets he had from his childhood that he didn’t want others to know.
“Xiao Xunbao,” Qiao Sang called out in ti.
Xiao Xunbao halted.
Li Songhai took a deep breath, cald his emotions slightly, and began, “It’s for the pet beast in your backpack.”
Qiao Sang didn’t speak, just stared at him.
Li Songhai’s scalp tingled as he said, “I ca to the Yuhua Region from the Ancient Mist Region for it.”
Qiao Sang looked at him, still silent.
Swallowing, Li Songhai continued, “The pet beast in your bag, Shuilu Yana, is nearly extinct in our Ancient Mist Region. Logically, an endangered pet beast would be protected by the Alliance and beyond the reach of ordinary people, but this one is an exception.”
“It escaped from a rift in a secret realm a few months ago.” Here, Li Songhai’s expression changed slightly, and after hesitating, he continued, “I also received this mission on the dark web.”
Qiao Sang: “!!!”
Qiao Sang’s facade was stoic, but inside, a storm was raging, filled with “What the fuck”.
It wasn’t him who wanted to contract with Shuilu Yana!
Doesn’t that an others knew about Shuilu Yana’s existence?
Li Songhai, fearing that the girl in front of him didn’t know what the dark web was, explained:
“The dark web is an encrypted network built on top of the existing internet. Anything can be traded there. A few months ago, soone posted a mission to find Shuilu Yana, providing the last known specific location of Shuilu Yana. Besides , several other people took on this task.”
Qiao Sang tried to maintain the expression she already had on her face.
Well, damn, there were actually several other people.
Seeing that the girl in front of him remained silent, Li Songhai felt tingles of numbness on his scalp.
He had said so much already, why wasn’t she reacting at all?
Li Songhai, nerves fraying, continued, “I was just lucky at the ti, happened to discover the whereabouts of Shuilu Yana, and followed it all the way here.”
“Don’t worry, no one else knows Shuilu Yana is here, and I won’t tell anyone else.”
Qiao Sang breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this and decided to stick to her original plan.
“Is the Shuilu Yana you’re talking about this one?” Qiao Sang turned around, opened her backpack, and took “Shuilu Yana” out.
“Shuilu Yana,” with its round eyes, looked at Li Songhai, sporting an expression of pure innocence.
Why had she taken out Shuilu Yana? Wasn’t she afraid he would just snatch it? Well, he couldn’t snatch it now… Li Songhai said with a sowhat disheartened expression, “That’s it.”
No sooner had he spoken than Li Songhai’s eyes suddenly widened.
Before him, the “Shuilu Yana” began to lt, and then slowly reford into a pet beast with a large head, shiny black eyes, light blue horns on either side of its head, a short tail, and slimy blue skin all over its body.
Li Songhai was completely dumbfounded.
This, this wasn’t Shuilu Yana at all!
Qiao Sang spoke up, “This is a Huanhuan baby; it can transform into the appearance of other pet beasts. It’s not the Shuilu Yana you’re looking for.”
“Huanhuan.”
The Huanhuan baby called out, then its body lted and reford into a Treasure-seeking Ghost. Then it lted again and morphed into a mini Fla Listening Dog.
Li Songhai, watching the spectacle in front of him with his mouth agape as if petrified, muttered after a few seconds, “Why did it transform into the appearance of Shuilu Yana?”
Qiao Sang calmly said, “I saw soone discussing Shuilu Yana on the forum a while ago, so I searched online. I thought it was quite cute, so I had Huanhuan baby transform.”
“By the way,” Qiao Sang ntioned offhandedly, “I rember that person said they spotted it at Gongcheng’s Shu Wujie.”
Gongcheng? Shu Wujie? The Ancient Mist Region?!
Li Songhai: “!!!”
…
Qiao Sang returned ho and imdiately sat down on her bed to begin her ditation.
Unexpectedly, she was not the only one who knew about the existence of Shuilu Yana, which made her feel a sense of crisis.
The most important thing now was to quickly develop her ntal domain, add another page to the Beast Taming Codex, and contract with Shuilu Yana as soon as possible to avoid any accidents.
In the courtyard.
Yaobao was demonstrating Blazing Charge for Shuilu Yana to see.
Flas enveloped Yaobao’s entire body, and then it charged toward a stone block about 50 centiters in size.
“Bang!”
The stone block shattered instantly with a loud noise.
“Ya.”
Yaobao stopped and turned to nod at Shuilu Yana.
“Lulu!”
Shuilu Yana, feeling a surge of power when Yaobao nodded at it, began to channel the energy within its body, as water erged from its tail.
The next second, the water sprang up and enveloped Shuilu Yana completely.
