Chapter 988: Chapter 798: You Two Are Having Great Fun (Combined) – Part 3

“Where are you headed?” Qiao Sang took a sip of her coffee and asked casually.

“Zone One.” The young man glanced over. “And you?”

“Also Zone One.”

“What a coincidence. What time is your ticket?” The young man’s eyes lit up.

Qiao Sang did not answer but instead countered with a question:

“Where’s your luggage?”

The young man hesitated briefly and said, “I’m here for a mission. The person posting the task is covering meals and accommodations, so I didn’t bring anything.”

Qiao Sang shot him a look. “Not even clothes?”

The young man scratched his head, looking slightly embarrassed, and said:

“I can go a week without showering.”

Qiao Sang: “…”

Impressive.

Truth be told, she had been a bit suspicious of this person’s intentions in approaching her. After all, on Blue Star, she had once gained a significant following. She knew well the reaction of fans upon meeting their favorite Beast Tamer—the first thing they’d do was express excitement and ask for photos or signatures, not stay silent like this guy initially did.

But now, she wondered if she might be overthinking things.

At that moment, another blond-haired young man wearing a baseball cap walked over, discreetly glanced at Qiao Sang, then shook his head at the brown-haired youth:

“No contact yet.”

The young man turned to Qiao Sang and apologized:

“Excuse me, I need to make a call.”

Go make the call, no need to tell me… Qiao Sang inwardly complained but outwardly offered a polite smile and nod.

The young man stood up and walked toward the men’s restroom, accompanied by the blond-haired youth.

As the two left, Qiao Sang picked up her phone and dialed her mentor, Billet.

“Sorry, the number you’ve dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please call again later…” a soft female voice said through the speaker.

No connection… Qiao Sang’s expression darkened as she set down the phone.

By all reasoning, enough time had passed for Billet to leave that dense forest. How could his phone be unreachable?

Could something have gone wrong?

“Gangzhan.”

Her thoughts were interrupted as her pet beast, Gangbao, made a noise, indicating that the human from earlier seemed suspicious.

If Gangbao said something’s off, then something’s definitely off… Qiao Sang immediately perked up her ears, intending to eavesdrop on their conversation.

But she couldn’t hear a thing. Not even the sound of typical restroom activity.

Qiao Sang’s vigilance immediately heightened.

Something was definitely off.

Considering her current auditory sensitivity, she should easily pick up surrounding noise in the restroom—even the sound of someone pulling down their pants. Yet she heard nothing.

This was the clearest sign of something amiss.

“Yaobao, listen to the sounds coming from inside.” Qiao Sang gestured toward the restroom with Yaobao.

“Ya Ya.”

Yaobao, sipping on a drink, twitched its ears.

“Ya Ya…”

Three seconds later, it shook its head, indicating it hadn’t heard anything.

Even Yaobao couldn’t hear anything… Qiao Sang felt a chill in her heart.

She immediately thought of something and turned to Little Xunbao. “Little Xunbao, go invisible and… ”

Qiao Sang suddenly froze mid-sentence, her heart tightening.

Adinixi was currently inside Little Xunbao’s rings, and right now those rings were prioritized as key protected items. She couldn’t allow Little Xunbao to leave her sight casually…

“Xun Xun?”

Little Xunbao looked confused when its Beast Tamer didn’t finish the command.

Qiao Sang changed her tune: “Never mind, keep drinking.”

…

Inside the men’s restroom.

In the upper corner of the innermost stall, a box-shaped miniature pet beast covered its nose, blue light flickering in its eyes, wearing an expression of sheer misery.

An invisible barrier enveloped the stall, isolating all noise from within.

“How could we not get through?” the young man frowned.

“Something might have happened,” the blond-haired youth speculated.

After a pause, he asked, “What do we do now?”

The young man pondered for a moment before asking:

“Did you find out Qiao Sang’s flight time?”

The blond-haired youth nodded. “3:30 a.m.”

The young man glanced at his watch and said:

“A few hours left. Too many people at the airport—acting now wouldn’t be wise. It’s better to wait until we get through to Ogefu and have him come over.”

“And what if Qiao Sang gets on the plane before we can reach him?” the blond-haired youth asked.

“Then we’ll have to handle it ourselves,” the young man said grimly.

“Qiao Sang’s Ice Aipa has Super-level skills like Ice Heaven Domain and Healing Light, and Flame Kiru has Magma Purgatory and Mystique-level Mars Rain. I’m not sure we’re their match,” the blond-haired youth admitted bluntly.

The young man hesitated for a moment…

He had to admit, it was indeed a problem…

After a few seconds, he spoke again: “The focus is on the Ghost Ring King’s ring. As long as we acquire the Ghost Ring King or its ring, that’s all that matters.”

“If we can’t get the Ghost Ring King or its ring before she boards, and if we still can’t reach Ogefu…”

The young man’s eyes turned sharp. “Then we’ll have to sabotage that plane.”

Half a minute later, the two left the stall.

They were met by a middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses.

The man glanced at the two emerging from the same stall, then looked up at the miniature pet beast perched above the stall, which was still pinching its nose and using its skill. His expression turned into one that said, “You two sure play it weird.”

The young man: “…”

The blond-haired youth: “…”
