Logically speaking, she shouldnât remember such a small item from more than half a year ago so clearly. However, her memory now is exceptionally good, and the lost hair ornament is connected to the possibly suspicious Disguise Totem. Even if she wasnât thinking about it, seeing it now feels eerily familiar.
"Xun Xun!"
Little Treasure Hunter, through their shared senses, saw the hair ornament and immediately shouted excitedly.
The hair ornament it lost looks just like this!
Indeed... Qiao Sangâs gaze fell on the little girlâs face, deep in thought.
Since the Disguise Totem can transform into the appearance of an itemâs original owner through the itemâs aura, it naturally can turn into a human as well.
The altered Ghost Ring Kingâs form is easily recognized, and as a King-level Pet Beast, the Disguise Totemâs appearance is also easily noticed by others. Despite being wanted for more than half a year, it hasnât been caught. Could it be that it occasionally transforms into a human or other Pet Beasts?
If thatâs the case, then relying solely on the wanted posters of the altered Ghost Ring King and the Disguise Totem, even with strategic arrangements, might not be enough to find it...
"Xun Xun!"
As she was thinking, Little Treasure Hunter stared at the little girl and shouted, indicating that perhaps that guy had turned into this humanâs appearance!
Qiao Sangâs heart skipped a beat, and she said:
"Itâs possible."
"Xun Xun!" Little Treasure Hunter, unable to contain its excitement, couldnât wait to circulate the energy within its body.
The next second, it appeared in front of the little girl with its Beast Tamer.
Qiao Sang: "..."
There was no need to be so hasty; you even forgot to bring Yaobao and the others along...
"Xun Xun!"
"Xun Xun!"
"Xun Xun!"
Little Treasure Hunter didnât notice this, directly hurling insults at the little girl.
The surrounding Pet Beasts, who hadnât been paying attention, all turned their gaze here.
The little girl stared blankly at Little Treasure Hunter.
This didnât seem like the reaction an impostor should have upon seeing Little Treasure Hunter... Qiao Sang scrutinized the little girl in front, trying to detect any flaws.
Suddenly, a furious voice sounded from behind:
"What are you doing to my daughter!"
The little girl looked ahead, her expression turning joyful as she spread her arms and ran towards the voice: "Daddy!"
Little Treasure Hunter stopped cursing, its body suddenly stiffening.
"Donât panic; some transforming Pet Beasts can also speak human language." Qiao Sang said in a low voice.
She still remembered the imitation doll on Chao Su Star that had transformed into her form and answered "present."
"Xun Xun..." Little Treasure Hunter relaxed after hearing its Beast Tamerâs words.
At this time, the manâs voice rang out:
"Sweetheart, are you okay?"
Followed by the girlâs voice: "Iâm fine, Dad, look, that Pet Beast looks like the one wanted on TV!"
A transforming Pet Beast definitely wouldnât say so much in human language... Qiao Sang decided immediately:
"Go!"
Little Treasure Hunterâs eyes glowed blue.
Then, the two of them returned to the bedroom.
"Xun Xun..."
Little Treasure Hunter wiped its forehead, sweating imaginary sweat.
"Ya Ya?"
Yaobao looked over, calling out, asking how it went, did they find anything?
Lubao, Qingbao, and strategic arrangements all looked over simultaneously, waiting for an answer.
Only Gangbaoâs eyes were full of delight.
Qiao Sang confessed: "No."
Yaobao and the others immediately showed disappointed expressions.
Without a word, strategic arrangements turned around, extending its paw to continue helping with the search.
"However, I have a new idea." Qiao Sang continued.
Strategic arrangements stopped, looking over.
"Itâs like this, I actually suspect that a wild Disguise Totem stole Little Treasure Hunterâs hair ornament and transformed into its form..." Qiao Sang explained her suspicions to strategic arrangements before continuing:
"So I hope you can find whichever Pet Beast, or person, is carrying this hair ornament."
After speaking, she took out her phone, preparing to search for a picture of the hair ornament to show strategic arrangements.
But just as she took out her phone, something suddenly occurred to Qiao Sang, her expression instantly becoming stiff as she looked at Little Treasure Hunter and asked word by word:
"Where did that hair ornament of yours originally come from?"
"Xun Xun..."
Little Treasure Hunter thought for a moment, then called out, indicating it was taken from the Ring.
"No," Qiao Sang said, "I mean, before it was in the Ring? Where did we buy this hair ornament?"
She didnât recall buying a hair ornament in Eagle Country.
"Xun Xun..."
Little Treasure Hunter thought hard, then called out.
The hair ornament was already in the Ring itself; it seemed to be something bought while scavenging on Chao Su Star.
Yes, she hadnât purchased a hair ornament in Eagle Country, but when her Unlimited Cardâs expiration was nearing on Chao Su Star, she had bought a vast amount of items without even lookingânot just Pet Beast-related tools and materials, but also some luxury items, and essentially anything valuable that could be bought with the Unlimited Card.
