Bark glanced at Ashley and said, "I simply can’t stand the way you used to become what they call a faux Beast Tamer. I’m now very doubtful whether the danger Mr. Krell found himself in was also your arrangement."
Ashley’s smile faded slightly.
"You think too highly of me. I’m just an ordinary person. Mr. Krell is a noble Beast Tamer, what could I possibly do to him?"
Just then, the door opened, and the black maid who had left earlier appeared at the door:
"Ashley, Mr. Krell is looking for you."
...
Inside the opulent room.
"Miss Qiao, this is Ashley that you were looking for," the butler Krell said respectfully.
Qiao Sang sized up the chestnut-haired woman in front of her and turned her head, saying:
"You can go out first. I have something to discuss with her alone."
Krell stepped back and gently closed the door.
"Miss, did you need something from me?" Ashley asked respectfully.
"It’s not me who’s looking for you," Qiao Sang replied as she looked towards the direction of the curtains. "Aren’t you coming out?"
A purple head slowly peered out from behind the curtains, its expression a mix of expectancy and unease.
Ashley followed the direction and was taken aback for a moment, then her face broke into a radiant smile, "How did you get here?"
"Steel Steel!"
"Steel Steel!"
Little Steel Falcon, recognizing her, immediately flew towards her excitedly, tears falling in large drops.
She had plucked so many feathers without crying, but now she was crying... An unusual emotion flickered through Qiao Sang’s heart.
As Ashley held Little Steel Falcon, she asked tentatively:
"Miss, what is your relationship with Little Steel Falcon?"
So it was Little Steel Falcon... Qiao Sang smiled and said, "Nothing much, just happened to bump into it and gave a little help, what can I say, I’m just a good person."
"Steel Steel!"
Little Steel Falcon stopped crying upon hearing these words, turned its head, and made a thumbs-up gesture with its wing to signify the good person certification.
Seeing this, Qiao Sang almost laughed out loud.
Ashley’s gaze flickered, and she said, "Miss, thank you for bringing Little Steel Falcon here."
Qiao Sang waved her hand dismissively. "No need to thank me, it made its own way here from Area 27. I was merely responsible for bringing it over from the entrance."
Qiao Sang walked towards the outside of Feswo Manor with Yaobao in her arms. freewёbnoνel.com
She remembered Little Steel Falcon mentioning that its feathers could be sold for money but didn’t know how much each was worth...
Qiao Sang walked while looking down at her phone.
The search result came up quickly:
[One for 500 Alliance Currency]
Alliance Currency, doesn’t seem like much... Qiao Sang looked at the feathers in her hand and counted—seven in total.
She certainly hadn’t plucked seven feathers in front of herself...
As this thought arose, she considered Little Steel Falcon’s circumstances.
Its Beast Tamer was just an ordinary person with limited ways to earn money, and now that she had to provide for Little Steel Falcon, she probably needed this money even more... With this thought, Qiao Sang turned around and walked back.
She navigated through the garden by memory, entered the corridor, and as she turned a corner, spotted the shadowy figure she had just seen.
Qiao Sang was about to greet the figure when she suddenly heard their conversation:
"The Little Steel Falcon you’re looking for is with me."
"I’m absolutely sure it’s the one."
"This is Feswo Manor."
"Oh yes, I would like to reconfirm, the reward for Little Steel Falcon is 200,000, right?"
