Chapter 150: Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost, It Still Has to Be You!

~8 min read 1,564 words

1:02 AM.

The moon is dark and the wind is high.

Qiao Sang turned over and changed to a lying position.

Although the wind was strong at night, lying on a fire-type pet beast really didn't feel cold at all.

Since she didn't have to get up early to go to school in the morning, Qiao Sang became more and more spirited the more she played with her phone.

Not just her, no one in the Invincible Holy Water group was asleep.

【Wang Yao: My mission poster this time is a soft and cute young lady. She speaks softly and draws well. Don't be envious】

【Shi Gaofeng: You've praised her so much, just say she'll give you a five-star review】

【Wang Yao: You're jealous】

【Shi Gaofeng: Heh, my mission poster is a handsome guy who is 1.9 meters tall with eight-pack abs. He speaks gently too. Don't be envious】

【Qiao Sang: I remember you accepted a mission to absorb fat, right? How could it be a handsome guy with eight-pack abs】

【Wang Yao: Hahaha, Qiao Sang, don't expose him】

【Shi Gaofeng: I didn't lie. The photos he posted on Moments are like this】

【Wang Yao: You haven't even seen the person in real life?】

【Xu Xu Yajie: You still believe in photos these days?】

【Shi Gaofeng:...】

【Shi Gaofeng: Wait until I see him tomorrow and take a photo to show you. Faces can be photoshopped, but abs can't be, right】

【Qiao Sang: Be careful, maybe his abs were absorbed from fat. He's only looking for you to maintain them. If you accidentally turn them into seven-pack abs, he might give you a bad review】

【Shi Gaofeng:...】

【Wang Yao: Hahahahaha, there really is such a possibility. The shape of absorbed abs is much harder than just absorbing fat】

【Xu Xu Yajie: Brother Shi, I have already foreseen your fate】

【Shi Gaofeng:... I'm escaping, goodbye】

Qiao Sang felt happy looking at the group messages until the latest message appeared.

【Wang Yao: By the way Qiao Sang, did you go to see the mission poster today? How is her personality】

Qiao Sang pursed her lips and typed a line.

【She's an old lady. She feels quite good to her granddaughter and pet beast. Her personality should be quite good】

After sending this, Qiao Sang put down her phone and thought of this mission again.

If the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp didn't show up tonight, she would still have to call Mr. Jiang tomorrow morning to chat with the old lady's granddaughter.

No matter how she thought about it, it felt wrong for her to take the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp out to play during that time period.

And didn't the old lady suspect that the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp's disappearance had something to do with her granddaughter?

Qiao Sang didn't quite believe it. Even she, an outsider, felt that going out to play during that time period was a bit wrong. She didn't believe the old lady hadn't discovered the problem.

"Xun."

The Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost, which was playing with coins using telekinesis, suddenly put its claws down.

The coins rolled down, making a "dang dang" sound.

In the quiet night, there was no one around, and the sound was exceptionally loud.

"What's wrong?" Qiao Sang was startled and half-supported herself up from Like Ya Bao's body.

"Ya ya."

Like Ya Bao was talking in its sleep with its eyes closed, not affected at all.

"Xun..."

The Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost tilted its head toward the courtyard light in the residential district.

It was late at night, and the sky was dim, but the courtyard lights in the residential district hadn't gone out and were still emitting light.

But just at this moment, the courtyard light furthest away suddenly flickered.

And then, from far to near, every courtyard light flickered.

Such a weird scene appeared abruptly and disappeared very quickly. Soon, after every courtyard light finished flickering, everything returned to normal.

Qiao Sang got goosebumps all over looking at this weird scene, and just happened to have a cold wind blow by.

Originally lying in the soft fur, she didn't feel cold at all, but now she felt a chill all over her body.

"Like Ya Bao, Like Ya Bao." Qiao Sang shook Like Ya Bao with her hand.

Wake up quickly. If it doesn't wake up, she feels very insecure...

"Ya ya..."

Like Ya Bao drooled, its head moved, and it changed to a comfortable position.

Qiao Sang: "..."

"Xun!"

The Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost blocked in front of Qiao Sang at this time, looking at the surroundings vigilantly.

Qiao Sang looked at the small figure in front of her with eyes full of emotion.

Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost, it still has to be you!

Qiao Sang got up and got off Like Ya Bao's body, looking at the empty courtyard in front of her.

Because Xiying Residential District is an old residential district, the greenery is sparse, the property management doesn't manage it often, and the security guard is also a person who is just muddling along, which makes the whole residential district look a bit dilapidated and desolate.

Qiao Sang looked around with a bit of vigilance.

The chill just now, the weird flickering of the lights, and the Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost's actions all revealed that there was something weird going on right now.

Qiao Sang became suspicious. Could it be that the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp has returned?

If so, she might be able to relax a bit. After all, a pet beast with an owner basically won't attack humans casually.

But what if this weird atmosphere was caused by a wild pet beast?

The Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost was tense all over, its golden eyes looking at every courtyard light one by one.

Its nose moved unconsciously. Such strong death energy...

Soon it locked onto a direction, the second courtyard light on the left in front.

The Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost turned its head, wanting to tell its own Beast Tamer, but it hesitated.

Speaking so quietly will definitely be heard by this guy. What if it gets prepared...

"Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost, did you notice anything?" Qiao Sang asked, seeing the Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost staring at one direction.

The Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost turned its head and blinked. Qiao Sang understood immediately.

The next instant, the Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost disappeared on the spot and appeared under the second courtyard light on the upper left, stuck out its tongue, and licked fiercely at a place about 10 centimeters outside the lampshade.

Qiao Sang paused. She didn't expect the Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost's actions to be so clean and neat.

Finding the target, instant movement, tongue licking, all in one go. How is it like a baby who has just been full-month old?

Only to see a glass lampshade-shaped pet beast appear out of thin air in the place where the Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost licked in the air.

It had yellow eyes, two long swaying arms, a section of the lamp stand on the right was broken, and the symmetrical lamp stand on the left had already broken most of it, looking even shorter than the right side.

The blue flame that should have been vigorous in the middle of the lampshade now seemed to disappear if there was any slight movement.

Holy crap! It's the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp!

Qiao Sang's expression was excited. She actually waited for it on the first day!

Although the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp's left lamp stand didn't quite match the old lady's description, the right lamp stand was indeed missing a section.

There are few ghost-type pet beasts in the city, and appearing here at this time and also being a Ghost-Absorbing Lamp, it can basically be determined to be the one the old lady lost.

As for the red nail-sized mark on its head, it couldn't be seen at all due to the height difference.

But the next second, Qiao Sang was 100% sure that this Ghost-Absorbing Lamp was the one she was looking for.

Because the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp had already fallen from the air, and the mark on its head was exactly facing her.

Qiao Sang paused, not daring to believe that the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp had fallen just like that.

Even if the Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost's tongue-licking paralysis effect took effect, it shouldn't be like this. The Ghost-Absorbing Lamp is a mid-level pet beast...

Looking at the sparks in the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp's lampshade that seemed about to disappear, Qiao Sang suddenly understood.

It's the lamp wick...

A crystal emitting a dim light fell out of the Ghost-Absorbing Lamp's body.

The Ghost-Absorbing Lamp's weak body stiffened. It had no mood to pay attention to the Little Treasure-Hunting Ghost that had just attacked it, nor did it pay attention to the human not far away.

Its body moved, wanting to float up again, but there seemed to be thousands of giant stones pressing down in its body, not letting it move.

The Ghost-Absorbing Lamp stared fixedly at the crystal on the ground in front. Its arms supported the ground and it slowly crawled forward.

Almost there, almost there...

However, the next second, a hand picked up the crystal.

It's that human!

The Ghost-Absorbing Lamp's body shook violently, and the flames in its body swayed violently. It raised its head.

A hand was spread out in front of it, and in the palm of the hand was the dim crystal.
