Chapter 232: Falling in Love

"Ya!"

Before Qiao Sang could keep thinking, Ya Bao suddenly cried out.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment. "You mean someone's following us?"

"Ya ya!" Ya Bao nodded.

"Before, there were always people following you because you're too handsome. Could it be them?" Qiao Sang asked.

"Ya…"

Although Ya Bao felt this possibility was extremely high, recalling the sounds it had just heard, it honestly shook its head.

Not them, huh… Qiao Sang thought for a moment, then lowered her voice and said, "Pretend you don't know. Don't turn around. Keep walking forward."

"Ya…"

Hearing her beast master's words, Ya Bao forcibly twisted back its head, which had only half-turned, and moved its four limbs forward stiffly, without any of its usual naturalness.

Clearly, Ya Bao had no talent for acting.

"Little Xunbao, time to practice your skills." Qiao Sang said softly.

"Xun~"

Little Xunbao Ghost instantly understood, showed an excited expression, and concealed its form.

Qiao Sang stayed alert to her surroundings while thinking calmly.

So she wasn't being targeted by a wild supernatural beast, but by a beast master.

It seemed the black cloud over her head that she couldn't shake off was most likely the Rain Prayer ultimate move of a water-type pet beast.

Rain Prayer was a high-level skill. The beast master's pet beast following her had at least one high-level water-type pet beast.

And that was just the bare minimum.

It wasn't impossible that the opponent's pet beast was above high-level.

Although she didn't know why this person was following her, tailing her while making it rain clearly meant they had some scheme in mind.

When one's strength was inferior to another's, a direct confrontation wasn't rational. The opponent's sneaky demeanor suggested they didn't want a direct confrontation either.

Right now, the person tailing her thought she hadn't noticed, so their guard should be at its lowest.

Let's just see what they do…

Qiao Sang didn't wait long. In about half a minute, a whistling sound of something tearing through the air rang out behind her.

"Ya Bao!" Qiao Sang shouted.

Ya Bao also sensed the movement behind it and instantly teleported to a spot about three meters to the front-left.

The next second, a wind blade whose power wasn't very strong appeared at the spot where Qiao Sang had just been.

This person's target is Milkcana… Qiao Sang saw the wind blade flash past in her peripheral vision and suddenly realized.

If she hadn't dodged just now, this wind blade should have sliced open her backpack.

Li Songhai, hiding in the shadows, watched the pet beast disappear from its original spot and reappear somewhere else for no reason, his pupils instantly dilating.

He'd guessed wrong again!

This was actually a psychic-type pet beast, not a fire-type!

Soon, Li Songhai became alert.

The pet beast that looked like a fire-type didn't use Teleport early, didn't use it late, but used it right when the wind blade was about to hit. What a coincidence that was.

It seemed this little girl had noticed someone was following her.

In that case, might as well just make a move and snatch it…

Just as Li Songhai was about to act, he heard the girl's slightly panicked voice:

"Ya Bao! Use Teleport to rush! We're going to be late!"

Li Songhai's face was blank. So the little girl had the fire-type-looking pet beast use Teleport not because she'd noticed someone tailing her, but because she was rushing to school?

Dodging the wind blade was just a coincidence?

"Hehehehe!"

At that moment, an abrupt, eerie laugh rang out in his ear.

It nearly scared the wits out of Li Songhai, who hadn't slept in two days and was already in poor nervous condition, causing him to reflexively turn his head to look.

Then, he saw the source of the terrifying, eerie laugh.

It was the ghost-type pet beast he had previously thought was psychic-type, except its eyes had turned purple…

Purple… Li Songhai suddenly felt drowsiness wash over him. His vision grew hazy, and he closed his eyes without much struggle at all.

"Slap!"

Li Songhai fell face-first to the ground, making his already not-very-handsome face even worse off.

Not far away, the Rain Swift Swallow that had been keeping constant watch on the backpack heard the commotion and turned its head, just in time to see its beast master collapse.

"Chichi!"

The Rain Swift Swallow glared angrily at the Little Xunbao Ghost beside its beast master, understanding it was the culprit. It flapped its wings forcefully, and the surrounding air instantly condensed into two sharp wind blades that attacked ruthlessly.

"Xun~"

Little Xunbao Ghost grinned, and with a Teleport, vanished from the spot.

"Bang!

"

The wind blades struck the ground, leaving two deep cracks.

"Chichi!"

The Rain Swift Swallow looked at the Little Xunbao Ghost that had appeared on the other side and let out a sharp cry, flapping its wings.

The next second, it dove down magnificently from the air, a cyan light enveloping its entire body.

Just as the Rain Swift Swallow was about to crash into Little Treasure Ghost, a figure wrapped in flames rushed over.

It was Tooth Treasure!

"Bang!

"

The two collided. Tooth Treasure only stepped back one pace, while the Rain Swift Swallow had its right wing scorched and slammed hard into a nearby utility pole.

"Chichi…"

The Rain Swift Swallow flapped its injured wing and shook its head.

"Chichi!"

The Rain Swift Swallow endured the pain, spread its wings, and was just about to continue the fight.

"Stop fighting. Your beast master is in my hands. If you don't want him hurt, behave yourself and don't move." Qiao Sang crouched down beside Li Songhai and very skillfully began untying his shoelaces.

This wasn't her first time doing this—she had experience. In a few quick motions, she tied Li Songhai's hands into a dead knot.

"Chichi!"

The Rain Swift Swallow's eyes went wide, its whole body trembling slightly with rage.

"Xun~"

Little Treasure Ghost teleported to its beast master's side and happily called out once.

"Nice work." Qiao Sang looked up and praised.

If it weren't for Little Treasure Ghost, this matter wouldn't have been resolved so quickly.

She remembered that the person lying on the ground also had a high-level pet beast, the Steel Armor Foot Monster. If that pet beast had been summoned, things probably wouldn't have been this easy.

Honestly, when she saw that the person tailing her was this guy, she wasn't surprised at all.

Besides him, it seemed no one else knew of Water Lulu Yana's existence.

However… Qiao Sang looked up at the bird-type pet beast not far away that looked like it wanted to fly over and peck her a few times, and her thoughts drifted for a moment: this bird-type pet beast of unknown species didn't look very large in size, and it didn't seem like a high-level pet beast capable of performing Rain Prayer.

Could it be another once-in-a-lifetime prodigy like Tooth Treasure and Little Treasure, able to learn high-level skills at the low to mid stages?

Suddenly, a tall figure stood behind Qiao Sang.

Qiao Sang felt the shadow looming over her head, and her body stiffened.

"Xun!

"

Little Treasure Ghost's eyes instantly turned purple, staring fixedly at this figure.

However, this figure didn't look at Little Treasure Ghost. Instead, it lowered its head to look at Water Lulu Yana, who had already poked half its head out to watch the excitement.

"Steel Armor."

The tall figure was precisely the Steel Armor Foot Monster that Qiao Sang had thought hadn't been summoned yet.

Qiao Sang had already sensed something was wrong. She got up and ran forward, but the Steel Armor Foot Monster was both fast and long-armed.

She hadn't run two steps before the Steel Armor Foot Monster reached out a hand and easily pulled Water Lulu Yana out of the backpack, then flung it toward where the Rain Swift Swallow was.

"Steel Armor."

"Chichi."

The Rain Swift Swallow received the Steel Armor Foot Monster's signal, its gaze shifted, and it flew toward Water Lulu Yana, preparing to snatch it away.

"Lulu!

"

Water Lulu Yana let out a terrified cry. Just when it thought it was about to be captured again, its vision suddenly blurred, and its body seemed to be lifted and moved through the air by some force.

Then it felt its body tossed upward, finally landing on something soft and comfortable.

"Lulu?"

Water Lulu Yana opened its eyes with a puzzled expression, and then saw a familiar head.

"Yaya!"

Tooth Treasure hovered in midair, baring its fangs, staring fiercely at the Steel Armor Foot Monster.

"Lulu…"

At this moment, Water Lulu Yana felt like it had fallen in love.
