Chapter 79: Chapter 75 Touch Porcelain
Pet Beast eggs, barring a few extrely similar ones, are mostly easy to recognize.
The egg in the Treasure-Seeking Ghost’s hand was gray with a hint of yellow, and this yellow was ring-shaped, clearly indicating the Pet Beast inside belonged to the sa species.
Qiao Sang was startled.
Could it be thinking, like the earlier Yellow Bao Flower Child, that it wanted the Treasure-Seeking Ghost inside this Pet Beast Egg to beco its own Pet Beast?
But she had never considered including a Spectral-type Pet in her plans.
Let alone rookie Beast Tars, even so Professional Beast Tars were hesitant to form a contract with Spectral-type Pets.
...
They were different from the hot-tempered Fire Attribute Beasts.
When Fire Attribute Beasts got angry, it was obvious and straightforward, letting people see it at a glance.
When Spectral-type Pets got angry, it might not show on the surface.
But behind the scenes, they weren’t the least bit rciful when ssing with people.
Their thods of mischief largely depended on their abilities.
If it was a Treasure-Seeking Ghost, then stealing toilet paper when going to the bathroom and stealing clothes during a bath were definitely within its capabilities.
Qiao Sang pretended not to see and walked past it.
Seeing this, the grin on the Treasure-Seeking Ghost’s face grew wider as it nodded towards a shadow in the upper right.
The shadow received the ssage and signaled to two other shadows, after which the three shadows flew off in different directions.
Qiao Sang hadn’t walked two steps when the Treasure-Seeking Ghost appeared in front of her again.
Before Qiao Sang could bypass it again, the Treasure-Seeking Ghost moved the Pet Beast Egg to its left hand.
Its limbs were very short, with three short fingers on each hand.
With its left hand cradling the Pet Beast Egg, the Treasure-Seeking Ghost extended a short finger from its right hand and waggled it in front of Qiao Sang.
Qiao Sang was puzzled.
What’s this?
The price of this Pet Beast Egg?
100,000 or 1,000,000?
While Qiao Sang was trying to figure out what it ant, the Treasure-Seeking Ghost poked the Pet Beast Egg hard with that short finger.
Qiao Sang: “…!”
A hole appeared in the Pet Beast Egg, and a particularly short gray finger poked out from the inside, then the egg gradually cracked from that hole.
The Pet Beast Egg quickly split into two halves, and a mini version of the Treasure-Seeking Ghost about 20 centiters tall blinked at Qiao Sang.
Two seconds later.
“Xun~”
The little Treasure-Seeking Ghost spread its arms and called out coquettishly.
Qiao Sang stood there dumbfounded.
This couldn’t be it mistaking her for its mother, could it…
Seeing that Qiao Sang didn’t embrace it, the little Treasure-Seeking Ghost’s mouth pursed with a sense of grievance, and tears began to stream down.
The Treasure-Seeking Ghost laughed triumphantly, then also pursed its mouth, bursting into loud sobs.
“Xun!”
“Xun!”
The people around started to look over.
They saw a large and a small Treasure-Seeking Ghost crying their eyes out in front of a young woman.
It was hard not to make a connection between them.
Qiao Sang, caught between whether to stay or leave, watched the two crying Treasure-Seeking Ghosts.
The little Treasure-Seeking Ghost in front of her had just been born and hadn’t absorbed much nutrition; its crying was real, as if it had been greatly wronged.
After a short while, its voice grew significantly weaker, as if it lacked the strength to continue crying.
Qiao Sang, in a mont of impulsivity, set down the Fire-Toothed Dog and picked it up.
Fire-Toothed Dog: “…”
The little Treasure-Seeking Ghost imdiately stopped crying, though the tear drops still swirled in its eyes.
The Treasure-Seeking Ghost kept crying loudly.
Soon, a man with blonde hair who was a staff mber ca over and asked, “What’s going on here?”
The Treasure-Seeking Ghost floated up to the staff mber, showing off the broken shell while glancing in Qiao Sang’s direction and crying pitifully.
“Xun!”
“Xun Xun!”
“Xun Xun!”
Qiao Sang, “…”
What else was there to not understand.
This Treasure-seeking Ghost was ready to fake an accident!
For a mont, she felt that the little Xunbao Ghost in her hand was particularly hot.
The blonde staff mber quietly watched the Treasure-seeking Ghost’s performance.
Having worked here for three years, he knew the Pet Beasts well, if not like the back of his hand.
Especially the Pet Beasts that couldn’t be sold and always stayed at the base…
Spectral-type Pets were expensive and had eerie temperants; few Beast Tars were willing to spend a lot of money to contract them.
As the least popular Pets for sale, they always used various thods to force the Beast Tars they took a fancy to contract with them or their kind.
This Treasure-seeking Ghost was no stranger to this deed, accusing every ti of a soon-to-hatch Pet Beast Egg being broken by the Beast Tar.
Most Pet Beasts decided life and death with a single glance, forming an attachnt to the first creature they saw upon birth and a fondness in their hearts.
The Treasure-seeking Ghost was no exception.
This Xunbao Ghost specifically targeted female Beast Tars because most won tend to be softhearted, usually unable to stand seeing young pets crying at them.
If the female Beast Tar they encountered happened to have the ans to buy, its sches really could succeed.
The base was happy to see success, and every ti the Xunbao Ghost did this, they went with the flow, endeavoring to sell off the young creatures.
After all, if it worked out, it was a win-win situation.
“Miss, can we talk outside?” the blonde staff mber asked.
Seeing the crowd gathering more and more, Qiao Sang agreed.
The two ca to an office where a middle-aged man in his fifties wearing a work uniform was seated.
The middle-aged man understood everything when he saw the large and small Treasure-seeking Ghosts.
Although both employees understood what was going on, the blonde staff mber still went through the motions of reporting the situation.
The middle-aged man cleared his throat and said, “Miss, this Pet Beast Egg has already been reserved by one of our custors, and now, this is awkward for us to sell.”
Most Beast Tars who buy Pet Beast Eggs do so because they want the creature to see them as its first vision upon birth; now that it has seen soone else first, it’s indeed prone to being returned.
Qiao Sang was understanding, but that didn’t an she was going to take the bla.
“You can check the surveillance, I didn’t break the egg; it was this Treasure-seeking Ghost that deliberately punctured it in front of ,” Qiao Sang pointed at the Xunbao Ghost beside her.
“Xun!”
“Xun Xun!”
The Xunbao Ghost shook its head, explaining itself with a look of having been wronged.
The middle-aged man said, “Then let’s look at the surveillance.”
He knew, the Xunbao Ghost had prepared thoroughly.
Indeed, the three caras that could capture that area showed nothing but the ghostly faces of three Spectral-type Pets at the crucial ti.
Qiao Sang turned to look at the Xunbao Ghost pretending to be innocent at her side.
There were accomplices too?!
“Miss, did you co here intending to buy a Pet Beast?” the middle-aged man did not ntion the surveillance.
“I was planning to buy a Pet Beast Egg,” Qiao Sang replied.
A hint of joy appeared on the middle-aged man’s face before he could speak.
Qiao Sang continued, “I’m buying the Cherry Cotton one.”
The middle-aged man’s expression faltered, and he said earnestly, “Let
speak honestly with you, Spectral-type Pet Beasts are easier to sell when they are still in the egg. Once they are born, we find it very hard to sell them. The Treasure-seeking Ghost is stronger than the Cherry Cotton, and look how much the little Xunbao Ghost in your arms likes you; won’t you consider switching to buy one?”
His words were half true, half false. The second part was true, but the first part was false.
Spectral-type Pet Beasts were difficult to sell even as eggs…
Not only was their temperant a problem, but their price was another factor.
Spectral-type Pets were elusive and hard to co by.
Moreover, they were very powerful, only overpowered by their own Spectral Series and the Evil Series, thus naturally pricier than the average Pet Beast.
But in this hard-to-sell scenario, it was common to lower the price for a sale.
But even with a price drop, hardly any Beast Tars were actually willing to buy—that was also true…
Qiao Sang looked down.
There, the little Xunbao Ghost blinked its watery eyes steadily at her, as if terrified she would let go.
Qiao Sang’s heart trembled.
Illusion, all illusion, it was all an illusion…
