After a pause, she added, "The Bao Bao Servants are quite popular, but correspondingly, their price might be a bit steep."
Ye Xiangting replied, "Let’s take a look first."
While the two were chatting, Qiao Sang caught sight of a familiar area she had visited before.
When she spotted a certain familiar figure, she stopped in her tracks and said, "Mom, you go ahead and check it out first. I’ll come find you shortly."
"Alright." Ye Xiangting assumed her daughter needed to use the restroom and didn’t ask further. She followed the staff towards the Bao Bao Servants’ base.
Qiao Sang entered the Pet Beast Activity Hall.
She remembered that it was here she had encountered Little Treasure Hunter... no, to be precise, it was Little Treasure Hunter’s egg...
While reminiscing, an agitated voice rang out, "Don’t try to pin this on me! I didn’t even touch this egg just now!"
Qiao Sang followed the voice.
"Xun Xun!"
"Xun Xun!"
She saw the Treasure-seeking Ghost clutching a gray egg with yellow rings, crying its eyes out as it protested.
Beside it stood a young man, looking entirely baffled at the tearful display of the Treasure-seeking Ghost.
"Xun~"
At that moment, a small Treasure Hunter poked its head out of the Pet Beast Egg, glanced at the man, then up at the crying Treasure-seeking Ghost holding it, and its emotions were instantly infected—it burst into tears as well.
"Xun Xun!"
"Xun Xun!"
A big and a small Treasure-seeking Ghost bawled loudly together.
Onlookers nearby, witnessing the scene, cast disapproving looks at the man.
The man felt the pointed gazes around him and his face flushed scarlet. "I seriously didn’t do anything just now!"
"Gangzhan..."
Gangbao wore a puzzled expression.
Why, when the Pet Beasts cried, did humans blame other humans? Shouldn’t they be annoyed and scold the Pet Beasts to stop crying?
The whole scene struck Gangbao with a sense of déjà vu... Qiao Sang walked over and cleared her throat. "Treasure-seeking Ghost, long time no see."
The Treasure-seeking Ghost glanced at her briefly but kept crying.
Qiao Sang sighed and called out,
"Little Treasure Hunter."
"Xun Xun~"
Little Treasure Hunter emerged.
"Xun Xun..."
The Treasure-seeking Ghost momentarily forgot to keep acting, its tears still hanging, dumbfounded as it stared at her.
"Xun Xun..."
Seeing the Treasure-seeking Ghost stop crying, the small Treasure Hunter also ceased its weeping.
Seizing the chance, the man hastily made his exit.
"Do you still remember me?" Qiao Sang said with a smile. "It was here where you helped me find Little Treasure Hunter."
"Xun Xun?"
Little Treasure Hunter was stunned for a moment, showing an expression of "Really?"
It didn’t remember at all.
The little one carefully sized up the dazed Treasure-seeking Ghost before it, then suddenly imagined some scenario—its eyes abruptly filled with tears.
"Xun Xun?!"
