Chapter 803: I want to file a complaint

Adinihi... Qiao Sang immediately thought of something, her expression changing abruptly as she said urgently:

"Quick, check how everything else in the ring is doing!"

"Xun xun!"

Upon hearing her Beast Tamer say this, the little treasure-hunting ghost's body stiffened, and then it enlarged the ring, hurriedly sticking its entire head inside.

The commotion inside the ring couldn't be heard from the outside, but with most of its body exposed, the little treasure-hunting ghost was twisting and turning violently, clearly in a state of extreme agitation.

At this moment, Qiao Sang had an ominous premonition.

After about a minute, the little treasure-hunting ghost pulled its head out of the ring, looking at its Beast Tamer with tears and snot streaming down its face. Qiao Sang's heart sank as she asked, "How is it?"

"Xun xun!"

The little treasure-hunting ghost finally couldn't hold it in anymore and burst into tears.

Almost all the food was gone!

"Ya ya?!"

Upon hearing this, Like Ya Bao's fur stood on end, and it looked ready to rush in immediately and fight the guy who had eaten everything.

"Bing ai..."

Lubao's eyes turned deep and dark, and two water bubbles emerged directly from its nostrils.

"Steel slash..."

Gangbao's face turned completely black.

Qiao Sang had already prepared herself mentally, so she remained relatively calm and asked, "Besides the food?"

"Xun, xun..."

The little treasure-hunting ghost shook its head while using telekinesis to bring over a tissue from the coffee table to wipe its tears, indicating that nothing else had been harmed.

The situation was better than she had imagined. It seemed Adinihi had only touched the food. Since her unlimited card hadn't expired yet, she could return to the First District and take the time to restock on various energy-rich foods. It was just a pity about the special energy pills the vice principal had made specifically for Like Ya Bao and the others... but it wasn't a huge problem. As long as Adinihi was willing to play the flute when the time came, the sacrifice of the food would be worth it... While comforting herself internally, Qiao Sang didn't forget to soothe Like Ya Bao and the others:

"I heard Adinihi only wakes up once every hundred years. It hadn't eaten in a hundred years, so it's understandable that it was this hungry upon waking. When we go back, we'll just buy all this food again."

"Xun, xun..."

The little treasure-hunting ghost continued to wipe its tears.

"Ya ya..."

Like Ya Bao pouted, still feeling indignant, but since its Beast Tamer had said so, there was nothing else to be done.

"Bing ai..."

Lubao paused for a moment, then the two bubbles in its nostrils, which were still fluctuating in size, "pop" burst, and it calmed down.

It had slept for a hundred years without eating, and then was chased like that upon waking; it was actually quite pitiful...

"Steel slash."

Gangbao called out with a face that remained dark, indicating that even so, it shouldn't have eaten everyone else's emergency rations.

Qiao Sang looked at Gangbao and conveyed through telepathy:

【We can't beat it.】

"Steel slash..."

Gangbao had been outside earlier and naturally saw the battle between Adinihi and the other Emperor-tier pets; it calmed down instantly.

【But once we are safe, we can have it predict the location for your next stage of evolution to make amends.】 Qiao Sang continued in her mind.

【Steel slash.】 Gangbao replied telepathically.

That was the only way.

After soothing Gangbao, Qiao Sang went to the coffee table, pulled out a tissue, handed it over, and said softly:

"You've worked hard this time. Stop crying; we might have another tough battle ahead of us."

"Xun... xun!"

When the little treasure-hunting ghost heard the first half of the sentence, it took the tissue and wiped its tears. Once the second half of its Beast Tamer's words reached its ears, it immediately perked up.

The food had all been eaten; if that flute-playing guy was also snatched away, it would truly be left with nothing!

If it could protect this guy and become the boss later, the sacrifice of this food would be worth it!

In an instant, the little treasure-hunting ghost's fighting spirit was reignited.

Seeing the little treasure-hunting ghost recover, Qiao Sang felt relieved and clicked the service button on the virtual screen nearby.

"Hello, how may I help you?" A pleasant voice rang out.

Qiao Sang stated her request: "Please bring me a few bottles of energy recovery liquid."

For VIP service, they were well-prepared regarding food and drink, and energy recovery liquid was naturally included.

"Understood, please wait a moment."

About four or five minutes later, a knock on the door sounded.

"Come in," Qiao Sang said.

A female staff member in uniform pushed the door open and walked in.

As she entered, a fresh scent seemed to permeate the air.

The staff member placed four bottles of energy recovery liquid on the coffee table and said respectfully in a slightly low voice:

"Here is the energy recovery liquid you requested."

Qiao Sang looked up at her.

Fair skin, a few freckles on her nose and cheeks, a mole on the lower left lip, chestnut hair pinned up meticulously at the back—she looked exactly like the photo of one of the people she had seen not long ago.

!!!

Fretin Tate... Qiao Sang almost blurted out a "Holy crap."

How did she know she was here?

Where were the other staff members?

Did she just replace them that easily?

Qiao Sang's heart was in turmoil, but she remained calm on the surface, withdrew her gaze, and said to Gangbao in her mind:

【Use Air Absorption on this person.】

Gangbao stood where it was, not moving.

"Is there anything else you need?" Fretin asked in a respectful tone.

Qiao Sang: "???"

What was going on?

Could Gangbao not hear what she was saying in her mind?

Could it be that her bond with Gangbao had weakened?

Qiao Sang was full of questions, but she maintained a calm appearance, just about to answer.

"Ah..."

At this moment, she suddenly heard an extremely painful sound, as if it were coming from far away, yet also right beside her.

Qiao Sang was all too familiar with this kind of painful sound.

It was the sound made by someone who couldn't breathe.

Qiao Sang was silent for a long moment, then said to Gangbao in her mind:

【Stab me with a feather.】

The Gangbao in front of her didn't move.

But a sharp pain suddenly came from the back of Qiao Sang's hand, as if it had been pricked by something.

In an instant, the scene before her shattered quietly.

Fretin, who had been standing respectfully, was lying on the ground, gasping for air.

Gangbao was beside her, looking confused, raising its wing as if preparing to stab again.

Like Ya Bao and Lubao were still standing nearby as before, but their eyes were vacant, as if their souls weren't there.

The little treasure-hunting ghost's eyes were equally vacant. Beside it was a pet about 80 centimeters tall, wearing a micro-shrinking bracelet, purple-red all over, with a diamond-shaped nose, two large yellow agate-like objects on the sides of its head, and several translucent tentacles on the lower part of its body. It was using its tentacles to hold a transparent device and was about to cover the little treasure-hunting ghost with it.

Qiao Sang's adrenaline spiked, and reflexively, she waved her hand, recalling the little treasure-hunting ghost into the Beast Taming Codex.

Phew...

Seeing the little treasure-hunting ghost safely back, she let out a sigh of relief.

"Agate."

The purple-red pet missed its target and turned its head to look over.

Fretin had recovered by now.

She climbed up from the ground, looked at Qiao Sang, and asked with an ugly expression:

"How did you wake up?"

Qiao Sang looked at her, her own expression also not very pleasant.

Fretin Tate; her General-tier pet, Agate Li, was a Water and Poison type that could emit toxins that made its targets fall into hallucinations.

That fresh scent when she entered earlier must have been the toxin Agate Li had deployed.

If she hadn't seen her photo beforehand and become alert instantly, communicating with Gangbao through telepathy, the little treasure-hunting ghost would likely have been successfully taken away.

Fortunately, this hallucination didn't seem to block telepathic communication, allowing Gangbao to successfully hear her command, perform Space Absorption, and prick her awake.

It was just that the world in Gangbao's eyes didn't seem real either.

Qiao Sang stood up, dodged the feather Gangbao was preparing to stab her with again, and with a grave expression, asked a question she already knew the answer to:

"Who are you?"

At the same time, she shouted in her mind: 【Wake up quickly, you are in a hallucination! Stab yourself with a feather!】

Gangbao paused, then without hesitation, raised its feather and dealt a harsh blow to itself.

"Steel slash."

Gangbao's eyes became clear, and then it sensed something, turning its head to look vigilantly at Agate Li, who hadn't appeared in the room just moments ago.

Seeing the Steel-Slash Giant Falcon's actions, Fretin's heart sank.

The Steel-Slash Giant Falcon had actually woken up too; what on earth was going on...

She couldn't delay any longer. If Yanqilu and Bingai Palu also woke up, the opportunity she had worked so hard to create would be wasted in vain.

Thinking of this, Fretin stopped talking nonsense and said immediately:

"Venom Impact!"

"Agate!"

Agate Li opened its mouth and sprayed a massive amount of cyan corrosive liquid like a tidal wave.

The entire room was instantly filled with a foul stench.

The direction the venom was sprayed wasn't at Gangbao, but at Qiao Sang.

"Steel slash!"

Gangbao's body slowly grew larger, subconsciously wanting to block in front of its Beast Tamer.

At this moment, its Beast Tamer's voice appeared in its mind:

【Don't worry about me, go wake up Like Ya Bao and the others.】

Gangbao's heart trembled; it really wanted to refuse, but it spread its wings, turned into a beam of white light, and rushed toward the direction of Like Ya Bao.

Caught in an illusion, real damage from external forces could generally wake one up. She had received Lubao's feedback, and coach Elma had once said that her immunity had reached an inhuman level. Even if she were poisoned by a General-tier pet's potent toxin, she wouldn't die immediately. As long as Gangbao successfully woke Like Ya Bao and the others, she should be able to hold on until Lubao woke up... Qiao Sang thought while quickly lifting the coffee table, standing it on its side to block in front of her.

With her current strength, lifting the coffee table was incredibly easy, requiring no effort at all.

Although she wouldn't die immediately from a General-tier pet's potent toxin, she couldn't just stand there foolishly and let the poison spray onto her.

"Pshhh..."

The cyan liquid impacted the coffee table, instantly causing it to emit corrosive green smoke, penetrating through and reaching Qiao Sang's hand.

The pain hit her immediately.

The venom penetrated and landed on her hand, instantly creating a dark red wound.

Hiss, so painful... Qiao Sang endured the pain without crying out.

She understood that if she cried out, it would definitely distract Gangbao.

Fretin formed seals with both hands.

An orange-yellow star array lit up.

At the same time, Gangbao used Quick Attack, hitting Like Ya Bao and Lubao consecutively.

"Ya ya!"

"Bing ai!"

The pain instantly made Like Ya Bao and Lubao's eyes clear up.

When they saw the scene before them, they all showed expressions of anger.

Stay calm; as long as she controlled Qiao Sang first, her pets would naturally have nothing to fear. At this distance, she would definitely be the one to succeed first... Fretin looked at the black-haired girl only about two meters away and was just about to open her mouth to order the summoned Radio Toad to attack.

Suddenly, she was hit hard by a massive force and slammed onto the ground.

Fretin felt the pain in the skin and flesh of her back, and her face twisted.

She tried to struggle to get up, but found she couldn't move at all.

Fretin looked up and saw Yanqilu stepping on her, fire seemingly in its eyes. Her heart stopped for a moment, and panic surged uncontrollably as she roared:

"One Hundred Thousand Volts!"

She had received feedback from the Radio Toad and had a certain resistance to lightning, so she wasn't afraid of the Radio Toad's One Hundred Thousand Volts harming her.

The most important thing now was to get this Yanqilu off her body!

"Radio."

The Radio Toad called out, and countless yellow electric arcs suddenly surged from its body.

Like Ya Bao stared fixedly at the human below and opened its mouth.

A Yanqilu head formed from flames, several times larger, instantly appeared before it.

At this time, Like Ya Bao was still in its shrunken state, so the condensed Yanqilu head wasn't particularly large.

However, the scorching heat of its flames seemed capable of burning everything.

Fretin felt the heat wave rushing toward her, her face turned pale, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down her forehead.

The violently raging yellow electric light slammed down toward Like Ya Bao's position.

Like Ya Bao seemed not to feel the lightning about to strike it at all, baring its fangs engulfed in flames, and bit down fiercely.

Just as the lightning was about to strike Like Ya Bao, the ground under the Radio Toad's feet turned to ice, sliding forward, its body leaning back, and the lightning traced a graceful arc upward, striking the ceiling above.

The ceiling above exploded with a "boom," shattering into pieces, and stones splashed down like a rainstorm.

"Agate!"

Seeing this, Agate Li rushed over, wanting to rescue its Beast Tamer.

But just as it took its first step, it suddenly couldn't catch its breath, feeling suffocated, and couldn't help but stop, showing a painful expression.

Gangbao was on the side, opening its mouth with a calm expression, performing Air Absorption.

Fretin felt the scorching heat rushing toward her, and only one thought flashed through her mind:

It's over.

However, the pain of being roasted by flames that she had imagined didn't come.

Fretin opened her eyes and found that Yanqilu had disappeared from her body.

Before she could even be happy, countless stones crashed down, burying her completely underneath.

On the other side, Lubao had already grown larger, protecting its Beast Tamer underneath it.

Stones "bang bang bang" crashed down, and dust drifted down.

"Agate!"

"Radio!"

Agate Li recovered its breath, and the Radio Toad also stabilized its posture. When they saw their Beast Tamer buried by stones, they couldn't help but run over together, showing anxious expressions.

At this moment, the door was slammed open with a "bang."

Several staff members appeared at the doorway.

"Oh! My god! What happened here!" one of the ladies, whose uniform looked different from the others and who appeared to be a leader, exclaimed.

No, they didn't come early or late, but chose to come when the scene was already like this; they wouldn't make me pay for the damages, would they... Qiao Sang had experienced Like Ya Bao's destruction incident before and still had lingering fears.

She crawled out from under Lubao, looked at the messy scene in the room, and decided to strike first:

"I want to file a complaint." ===== CHAPTER 804 =====
