Chapter 270: Chapter 258: Treasure-Seeking Demon
Two days ahead of her expectations, it seems that Xiao Xunbao caught quite a few ants today… Qiao Sang silently mused before adding the points directly to [Junior (992/1000)+].
Now that the Treasure-seeking Ghost’s hypnotism had also reached Mystique level, it was time to prepare for evolution.
“Xun…”
At the same time, Xiao Xunbao, who was searching for ants all over the yard, suddenly felt a surge of energy within its body.
Before Xiao Xunbao could give it much thought, it spotted an ant slowly passing by on the ground not far off.
“Xun!”
Xiao Xunbao cried out excitedly at once.
Found you!
…
The next day.
In the yard.
Qiao Sang held her phone, filming Xiao Xunbao.
“Xun…”
In the video, Xiao Xunbao’s head suddenly filled the entire screen.
“Don’t get so close, just keep doing what you’re doing,” Qiao Sang said, moving Xiao Xunbao’s head, which was pressing against the camera, to one side.
“Xun?”
Xiao Xunbao tilted its head.
What’s this filming about?
“My hunch tells me you’re going to evolve today, so I wanted to record your current looks, so we can look back on it when we have nothing better to do,” Qiao Sang explained.
Evolve?! Today?!
“Xun Xun!”
Xiao Xunbao was initially stunned, then showed an excited expression and happily did a spin in mid-air.
The next second, it teleported in front of Yaobao, who was preparing to perform Mars Rain.
“Xun Xun!”
“Ya!”
Yaobao was startled, and the energy that was just gathering inside dispersed because of the scare.
“Ya Ya!”
Yaobao looked at Xiao Xunbao and was about to assume a big brother’s posture to properly scold it when it suddenly remembered what Xiao Xunbao had just said.
“Ya?”
Yaobao’s eyes widened, showing a “really?” expression.
“Xun!”
Xiao Xunbao nodded solemnly.
It’s absolutely true!
What their own Beast Tamer said could never be wrong!
“Ya Ya!”
Yaobao used Psychic Control to bring Xiao Xunbao in front of it and patted its head with its paw, mimicking how Qiao Sang would pat it.
Not bad, kiddo, you’re actually about to evolve!
“Xun…”
Xiao Xunbao, after being patted a couple of times, teleported to the side and curled its lip.
Big bro, do you have any idea your paws are all dirty with soil…
Before Yaobao could react, Xiao Xunbao teleported again, this time to boast in front of Shuilu Yana, who was backstroking in the pond.
“Xun Xun!”
Shuilu Yana opened its eyes, took a glance at Xiao Xunbao, and uninterestedly closed them again.
“Xun Xun!”
Xiao Xunbao, not willing to give up, repeated what it had just said.
“Lulu.”
Shuilu Yana didn’t even open its eyes and called out indifferently, a perfunctory congratulations.
“Xun…”
Xiao Xunbao’s previously excited mood largely dissipated.
This guy having no reaction to its evolution…..
Isn’t it still morning?!
Based on the progress in the points system, it should evolve at night!
Qiao Sang was a bit stunned by Xiao Xunbao’s sudden evolution, but thankfully, she quickly regained her composure, stepped back to find the perfect angle, and started recording.
Yaobao hurried over to watch, while Shuilu Yana swam to the edge of the pool, its eyes gleaming, focused intently on Xiao Xunbao.
Seeing Shuilu Yana’s reaction, Qiao Sang didn’t forget the promise she made to Xiao Xunbao.
She silently switched to panorama mode and zoomed in on Shuilu Yana, giving it a close-up shot of its face.
As the white light faded, Qiao Sang quickly redirected the camera back to Xiao Xunbao.
The white light disappeared.
There appeared on the phone screen a Pet Beast not very large in size, mostly grey in color, with golden pupils, its hair styled like ghostly flames flickering in the wind, with the tips matching the color of the pupils and golden hoop earrings on each ear.
Perhaps the golden earrings and remarkable hairstyle added a touch of noble aura to the transformed Xiao Xunbao.
But soon, that noble temper was no more.
“Xun Xun!”
Xiao Xunbao, excited, drifted over to Qiao Sang and began rubbing its face against hers.
“Hold on a sec!”
After finishing the recording and pocketing her phone, Qiao Sang grabbed Xiao Xunbao and held it up close for inspection.
“Xun?”
Xiao Xunbao blinked in confusion.
“Why do I feel like you’re even smaller than before your evolution?” Qiao Sang hesitated.
Normally, a Treasure-seeking Ghost turning into a Treasure-seeking Demon would double in size, but Xiao Xunbao now seemed even smaller than when it was a Treasure-seeking Ghost.
And there’s more…
“Your hair color is off too,” Qiao Sang said, somewhat bewildered.
She had naturally done her homework on the evolved form of Treasure-seeking Ghosts, the Treasure-seeking Demons.
Xiao Xunbao’s overall shape and hairstyle were correct, just like what she had seen online for Treasure-seeking Demons, but the tips of its hair were not the right color.
A typical Treasure-seeking Demon should have copper-colored hair tips, but Xiao Xunbao’s shimmered a stunning golden color in the sunlight.
That change is just, too cool!
