Chapter 1040

~14 min read 2,613 words

Logically, she shouldn't remember a small item from more than half a year ago so clearly, but her current memory is really good, and the lost hair accessory is linked to the Clothes-Changing Totem that might be a suspect, so even if her brain wasn't thinking about this thing, she felt it was terrifyingly familiar when she saw it.

"Xunxun!"

Little Xunbao saw the hair accessory through empathy and called out excitedly.

The hair accessory it lost looks just like that!

Sure enough... Qiao Sang's gaze landed on the little girl's face, and she fell into deep thought.

Since the Clothes-Changing Totem can turn into the form of the original owner of an item through the item's aura, it is naturally possible for it to turn into a human.

The form of the different-colored Ghost Ring King is easy to recognize, and the Clothes-Changing Totem is also an Emperor-tier pet beast, so its own image is also easy to attract others' attention. It hasn't been caught after being wanted for more than half a year. Could it be that it occasionally turns into a human or the form of other pet beasts?

If this is the case, then relying solely on the photos of the different-colored Ghost Ring King and the Clothes-Changing Totem on the wanted poster, even with the Brain-Regulating Shell, it might not be possible to find it...

"Xunxun!"

Just as she was thinking, Little Xunbao stared at the little girl and shouted, indicating whether that guy turned into the form of this human!

Qiao Sang's heart stirred and she said:

"It's possible."

"Xunxun!" Little Xunbao was impatient and couldn't wait to circulate the energy in its body.

The next second, it appeared in front of the little girl with its Beast Tamer.

Qiao Sang: "..."

There's no need to be in such a hurry; you even forgot to move Like Ya Bao and the others along with you...

"Xunxun!"

"Xunxun!"

"Xunxun!"

Little Xunbao didn't notice this and directly started cursing at the little girl.

The pet beasts around that weren't paying attention to this place gathered their gazes.

The little girl stared blankly at Little Xunbao.

This doesn't seem to be the reaction a fake should have when seeing Little Xunbao... Qiao Sang examined the little girl in front of her, trying to find a flaw.

Suddenly, a furious voice sounded from behind:

"What are you doing to my daughter!"

The little girl looked forward, showing a happy expression, opened her arms, and ran over: "Daddy!"

Little Xunbao stopped cursing, and its body stiffened abruptly.

"Don't panic, some transforming pet beasts can also speak human language," Qiao Sang said in a low voice.

She still remembers the Imitation Doll that turned into her form and shouted "Here" when she was at Super Su Xing.

"Xunxun..." Little Xunbao relaxed after hearing its Beast Tamer's words.

At this time, the man's voice sounded:

"Baby, are you okay?"

Immediately after, the girl's voice: "I'm fine, Daddy, look quickly, that pet beast looks like the one wanted on TV!"

A transforming pet beast would definitely not speak so much human language... Qiao Sang decided decisively:

"Go!"

Little Xunbao's eyes glowed blue.

And then, the two returned to the bedroom.

"Xunxun..."

Little Xunbao wiped the sweat that didn't exist on its forehead.

"Yaya?"

Like Ya Bao looked over and called out, indicating how it went, did it find it?

Lubao, Qingbao, and the Brain-Regulating Shell looked over at the same time, waiting for the answer.

Only Gangbao's eyes were full of smiles.

Qiao Sang said honestly: "No."

Like Ya Bao and the others immediately showed expressions of disappointment.

The Brain-Regulating Shell didn't say a word, turned its head, extended its claws, and prepared to continue helping.

"But I have a new line of thought," Qiao Sang continued.

The Brain-Regulating Shell stopped its movement and looked over.

"It's like this: I actually suspect that a wild Clothes-Changing Totem stole Little Xunbao's hair accessory and turned into its form..." After Qiao Sang explained her guess to the Brain-Regulating Shell, she said:

"So I hope you can find the pet beast or person carrying this hair accessory."

After speaking, she took out her phone, preparing to search for a picture of the hair accessory to show the Brain-Regulating Shell.

But the moment she took out her phone, Qiao Sang suddenly thought of something, her expression instantly became stiff, she looked at Little Xunbao, and asked word by word:

"Where did you get that hair accessory from in the first place?"

"Xunxun..."

Little Xunbao thought for a moment and called out, indicating that it was taken out from the ring.

"No," Qiao Sang said. "I mean, before the ring? Where did we buy this hair accessory?"

She didn't remember buying a hair accessory in Eagle Country.

"Xunxun..."

Little Xunbao tried hard to think and called out.

The hair accessory was already in the ring; it seems it was bought together when they were scavenging for things at Super Su Xing.

That's right, she hadn't bought a hair accessory in Eagle Country, but at Super Su Xing, when the unlimited card was about to expire, she bought a large amount of things without even looking—not just props and materials related to pet beasts, but also some luxury goods. Anyway, she bought everything valuable that could be bought with the unlimited card.

This hair accessory was one of them.

It's not impossible for items from other planets to appear in the Dragon Kingdom; after all, with current technology, there is already interstellar logistics, but the cost is too high, and what is transported are all things related to pet beast resources.

Would one buy a hair accessory that is merely a luxury item from another planet?

Qiao Sang realized she had made a mistake.

Why was she so sure that a transforming pet beast wouldn't speak too much human language?

Just because the Water Baby and the Imitation Doll couldn't, it didn't mean the Clothes-Changing Totem couldn't.

Calm down, that Clothes-Changing Totem is a wild pet beast that drilled out of a secret realm crack; how could it have learned so many human words in half a year... It doesn't seem impossible either, as long as the pet beast is smart enough. Like Little Xunbao, it also got the hang of electronic devices like phones and computers very quickly... Calm down, calm down, maybe it's just a coincidence. There are so many imitations of luxury goods; authentic ones are hard to send, but it's much easier to get an identical imitation... Qiao Sang reined in her thoughts, settled her emotions, looked at the Brain-Regulating Shell, and said:

"Help me see if the little girl with the purple grape hair accessory is still at that location just now. If she's not, help me see where she is now."

Better to mistake than to miss.

"Guigui."

The Brain-Regulating Shell nodded and turned to extend its claws back into the computer.

It also saw the scene of the human and the Ghost Ring King teleporting there just now, so even without the hair accessory, it knew what the human little girl looked like.

"Xunxun?" Little Xunbao showed a puzzled expression.

Why look for her again?

"Your hair accessory is from Super Su Xing, but this is Blue Star," Qiao Sang said. "I suspect that the Clothes-Changing Totem has learned quite a few human words."

She paused and added: "After all, its intelligence is very high."

When the news reported the situation of the Clothes-Changing Totem, one of the points mentioned was that its intelligence was extremely high. It only took one look during a battle to know the function of the miniature shrinking bracelet and how to operate it.

"Xunxun!"

Little Xunbao suddenly realized, and then showed an angry expression of "I actually fell for this guy's trick."

Qiao Sang looked at it and said calmly: "This is just my guess."

After speaking, she added:

"If that girl really is the Clothes-Changing Totem, don't forget to take Like Ya Bao and the others with you when you teleport."

"Xunxun..."

Little Xunbao's momentum suddenly deflated, showing an expression of "I know."

"Guigui."

At this time, the Brain-Regulating Shell turned its head and called out.

"Steel Sword."

Gangbao translated immediately.

Qiao Sang frowned:

"You said that little girl was found, but she doesn't have that hair accessory on her head?"

"Guigui." The Brain-Regulating Shell nodded.

Qiao Sang asked: "Then is there a man following her?"

"Guigui." The Brain-Regulating Shell shook its head.

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and decided to take a look: "Where is the address?"

"Guigui." The Brain-Regulating Shell reported the address.

Little Xunbao didn't say a word, and its eyes glowed blue.

After about five seconds, Qiao Sang's vision went dark, and when it returned to brightness, she found herself at the entrance of a chocolate shop.

A little girl with blonde hair and blue eyes stood in front of the display window, looking at the chocolate inside, with "I want it so much, I want to eat it so much" written all over her face.

Sure enough, there is no purple grape hair accessory... Qiao Sang's gaze landed on the girl's golden hair.

"Xunxun..."

Little Xunbao remembered its Beast Tamer's words and restrained the urge to rush up.

It wasn't sure yet; it would be bad if it scolded the wrong person, although even if it did, this human probably wouldn't understand...

"Yaya?"

Like Ya Bao scanned the area, finally landed its gaze on the little girl, and called out, indicating if that was the human they were looking for?

Qiao Sang was about to answer when a rather excited shout sounded:

"Look quickly, is that the wanted Ghost Ring King!"

Little Xunbao: "..."

People around looked over one after another.

The little girl did the same.

She looked at Little Xunbao, was stunned for a moment, and then showed an anxious and worried expression.

She looked like she not only knew it but also had a lot to say.

Qiao Sang saw this, her heart stirred, and she said: "Take her with us."

"Xunxun~"

Little Xunbao called out, but before it could take action, the little girl ran over quickly.

Just as she ran two steps forward, a pair of thick hands grabbed her.

"Baby, I've been looking for you for a long time," said the man who had the same blonde hair and blue eyes as the girl.

Being grabbed like that, the little girl looked up, saw who it was, and immediately quieted down.

The man recognized who was in front of him and said with an unsatisfied tone:

"It's you guys again. What exactly are you trying to do to my daughter?"

As he spoke, his gaze landed on Little Xunbao: "Are you that wanted Ghost Ring King?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the onlookers around echoed:

"It's it!"

"That's right! It's definitely it! Only one Ghost Ring King has this color!"

"Brother, don't let it run! This is 1 million Alliance coins!"

"Xunxun..."

Little Xunbao's cheeks puffed up larger and larger, clearly looking like it was furious.

Qiao Sang looked at the purple grape hair accessory on the man's head, the corners of her mouth twitched fiercely, and she remained silent.

More and more people gathered around.

The man pulled the little girl and retreated silently into the crowd.

"Space blockade," Qiao Sang said: "Only block the man."

As soon as she finished speaking, a flash of red firelight passed by.

As it passed the man, the little girl disappeared without a trace.

The man looked at the position where the little girl had been, and his expression changed.

At the same time, Little Xunbao's eyes glowed blue.

A translucent barrier immediately enveloped the man's surroundings.

The people around realized something was wrong, moved away one after another, dodged to a distance tacitly, and cleared a large area.

The firelight refracted and returned, stopping beside Qiao Sang.

Like Ya Bao put down the little girl who was still in shock.

"What are you trying to do?" The man looked at the little girl, his expression ugly.

Qiao Sang said slowly: "Clothes-Changing Totem, how much longer are you going to pretend?"

"Xunxun?!"

Little Xunbao stared wide-eyed at the human not far away.

What?

Clothes-Changing Totem?!

It then thought of something, its gaze landed on the purple grape hair accessory on the man's head, its eyes widened, and it showed an angry expression of "So it was you."

Clothes-Changing Totem? The people around were confused, whispering to each other while looking at the man.

The man looked at the increasing number of people around, but his expression gradually calmed down.

He stared at Qiao Sang, looked at Little Xunbao twice, and finally, after looking at the little girl, his eyes glowed blue.

An invisible force instantly shattered the transparent barrier around him into pieces.

The man said in a calm tone:

"Do you think you can trap me?"

After speaking, he remained where he was.

The man was stunned, and then, seemingly sensing something, he looked down.

He saw that his own shadow had been connected by another shadow at some point.

He looked in the direction where the shadow extended and saw Little Xunbao.

"Xunxun!"

Little Xunbao stared at it, hummed, its nostrils expanded, and it showed an expression of "You still want to run away."

Suddenly, a violent wind blew up.

The leaves on the side of the street rustled down, and fallen leaves and dust flew everywhere.

In the violent wind, the clothes on the man, including the purple grape hair accessory on his head, all disappeared, and only a miniature shrinking bracelet remained on his hand.

The moment the purple grape hair accessory disappeared, his body shape distorted and changed abruptly.

Soon, a pet beast about seven meters tall, silver-white all over, with only one eye, appeared in everyone's sight.

The violent wind stopped.

Qingbao appeared beside Qiao Sang, holding the purple grape hair accessory, having successfully completed its task.

It really is the Clothes-Changing Totem... Everyone looked at the pet beast not far away, terrified in their hearts.

This is a good opportunity to clear Little Xunbao's name... Qiao Sang raised her head, looked at the Clothes-Changing Totem, and gathered her energy on the tip of her tongue:

"You stole my Ghost Ring King's hair accessory and spent the last half year turning into its form to do evil everywhere, just because it wasn't in Eagle Country! Now that I've brought it back, how can I let you ruin its reputation!"

"Xunxun!"

"Xunxun!"

Little Xunbao held its head high and chest out.

That's right, that's right!

What? That wanted Ghost Ring King was turned into by this Clothes-Changing Totem? Shock and astonishment appeared on everyone's faces.

The Clothes-Changing Totem's expression didn't change, but its eyes glowed blue as it looked at Little Xunbao not far away.

The next second, Little Xunbao disappeared from where it was and was held in its hand.

Little Xunbao: "!!!"

Just as it realized what had happened to it, a sharp pain suddenly occurred in its brain.

Little Xunbao didn't even let out a scream before its eyes became unfocused.

At the same time, the shadow connected to the Clothes-Changing Totem disconnected and retracted.

Damn it, it actually can't be retrieved... Qiao Sang's expression was ugly, she put down the hand she had just waved, and said:

"Domain."

A visible cold air radiated from Lubao's body.

However, before the cold air could spread, the Clothes-Changing Totem disappeared from where it was.

Little Xunbao fell from mid-air, and a flash of fire went rapidly to catch it.
