Chapter 418: Chapter 397: Memory Retrieval

Jiang Xiu pondered for a few seconds and said,

"I have a friend whose Pet Beast can read memories, but I don’t know how proficient it is in memory reading. I’ll give him a call and ask."

As he spoke, he took out his phone and began to scroll through his contacts list.

Qiao Sang immediately felt that the matter was settled.

Memory reading, a high-tier skill of the Psychic Series, allows the reading of another person’s memories.

Unlike psychometry, which can sense events that have happened upon touching any person or object,

it can only sense things that have just happened, lengthening with the level of proficiency.

Memory reading, however, can access any stage of memory that has existed in the mind of a biological entity.

When the mind happens to be recalling that particular memory, it is even more convenient to access.

Depending on the level of proficiency, it can even retrieve memories that have occurred but are not well remembered.

Most people can’t remember every single event that has happened to them in great detail from birth to present; the memories that are forgotten are not gone, just hidden in the subconscious.

Which is deep within the brain.

At such times, the value of a highly proficient memory reader becomes apparent.

Jiang Xiu quickly made the phone call.

Qiao Sang clearly heard two "beep" sounds before the call connected, and a man’s deep voice came through the speaker,

"Spit it out."

Jiang Xiu immediately asked, "What’s the proficiency level of your Tuoluola in memory reading?"

The man’s voice was slightly cold, "Well developed."

Jiang Xiu’s face lit up with joy and he said, "Can you come to the Deep Sea Mantis Hotel now? There’s a favor I need your help with."

"I’m busy." The man spoke dispassionately, "I haven’t met my training quota for today."

Jiang Xiu, unruffled, explained, "It’s about inspecting Binglu Qia’s memories. It wants to go somewhere, but the description is not detailed. You know of the Yuhua region’s contestant Qiao Sang, right? It’s her Binglu Qia."

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone.

Qiao Sang couldn’t help but slow her breathing.

After a long silence, the man said, "I’m on my way now."

...

Above the waterway, the Sea Salt Lizard changed direction.

"His name is Pei Shipan, a training maniac. If you spend some time in the Ancient Mist Region, you’ll definitely hear about him. That guy participates in the regional competition every year; he’s quite a celebrity," Jiang Xiu seemed to remember something, and with a pang of conscience added deceitfully,

"Don’t be misled by his training obsession; he’s actually very kind-hearted. See, I just mentioned a favor, and he’s on his way here."

If I hadn’t heard it myself, I might have believed you... Qiao Sang thought to herself.

Jiang Xiu laid the groundwork before revealing what he really wanted to say, "Actually, it’s not just him. The people from the Ancient Mist Region are all like this. If you ever decide to develop your career here, you’ll feel right at home."

To be honest, Qiao Sang was quite fond of certain aspects of the Ancient Mist Region. If she could buy a house here and come for visits occasionally, it would indeed be a treat...

Seeing Qiao Sang’s thoughtful expression, Jiang Xiu felt she was taking it in and perked up, once again praising the Ancient Mist Region.

Forty minutes later, the two returned to the Deep Sea Mantis Hotel.

On the way, Jiang Xiu deliberately had the Sea Salt Lizard slow down and chattered incessantly about the Ancient Mist Region’s local customs and some interesting places, casually introducing some wild Water-type Pet Beasts they passed by Qiao Sang.

"That purple glowing Pet Beast you just saw is actually cream-colored. Its name is Mian Mian, and its feathery tentacles on the head can..."

Before Jiang Xiu could finish, a tall man wearing a hat, mask, and sunglasses, obscuring his features thoroughly, leaned against a pillar of the hotel and called out,

"Jiang Xiu."

Turned to see the newcomer, Jiang Xiu was surprised; he hadn’t expected the man to arrive so quickly. It should take over an hour to reach here from his usual training grounds even if one were traveling by submarine.

The man took long strides over.

Suppressing his surprise, Jiang Xiu introduced him to Qiao Sang, "This is Pei Shipan, you can just call him Uncle Pei."

Another one whose appearance doesn’t match his age... Qiao Sang composed herself and greeted him politely, "Hello, Uncle Pei."

Pei Shipan nodded and said, "Hello."

Then something occurred to him, the corners of his mouth curling up into a stiff smile.

This guy actually smiled... Jiang Xiu was startled.

To know Pei Shipan was notorious for always having a cold face. In nearly ten years of acquaintance, Jiang Xiu had never seen him smile.

Recalling the smile from just now, Jiang Xiu concluded: this man was better off not smiling.

After exchanging pleasantries, the three rode the elevator to room number 2088.

Pei Shipan removed the equipment from his face, revealing a cold countenance.

Meanwhile, Qiao Sang formed hand seals and summoned Lubao.

Excitement instantly washed over that cold face.

"This is the Binglu Qia..." Pei Shipan’s face turned red with excitement as he took a deep breath, squatted down, and reached out to touch Binglu Qia.

Just as his hand was about to touch Lubao, Lubao opened its mouth, and a water jet larger in diameter than his face was mercilessly fired out.

The water jet hit him square in the face, drenching Pei Shipan completely.

Jiang Xiu touched his face.

"I’m sorry!" Qiao Sang hurriedly picked up Lubao and said with his head lowered, "Lubao, say sorry!"

Lubao made a conflicted face. It was just about to follow its Beast Tamer’s instruction to apologize when the drenched Pei Shipan wiped his face with his hand and loudly said,

"No need!"

Qiao Sang was taken aback for a moment, "But how can that be okay?"

Pei Shipan said earnestly, "It was my fault for trying to touch Binglu Qia without its permission. It’s natural for it to defend itself against me."

After speaking, he took out his phone, snapped a selfie of his drenched self, and then posted it on his social network with a caption:

[Water, sprayed by Binglu Qia]

Qiao Sang couldn’t see what he posted, but Jiang Xiu, who was about as tall as Pei Shipan, caught sight of it.

He was immensely envious but then thought about the issue of favorability and suppressed the urge to go up, touch it, and let Binglu Qia fire one at him too.

Why are you suddenly taking selfies and playing with your phone... Qiao Sang was bewildered by the man’s actions.

"Don’t waste time, let’s hurry up and have a look at Binglu Qia," Jiang Xiu said, cutting to the chase.

"Alright." Pei Shipan put down his phone, formed hand seals, and a red Star Array lit up in the room.

The next second, a Pet Beast that was about 110 centimeters in height, deer-like in shape, with a blue and white color pattern, appeared on the Star Array.

Qiao Sang, with sharp eyes, noticed that this Pet Beast was wearing the same model of lightweight Shrinking Bracelet on its left front hoof as Yaobao.

It seems this Pet Beast’s real size is not small... Qiao Sang thought to himself and then bent down to explain to Lubao:

"You have a place you want to go to, right? But there are too many places that fit the description, and I can’t find it, so I asked for help. This Pet Beast can read memories and clearly see the place in your memory."

"Just wait for what it does, and don’t resist."

"Lubao..."

Lubao looked up at its Beast Tamer, then at the Pet Beast in front of it and the human that it had just sprayed with water, and finally nodded.

So well-behaved... Jiang Xiu’s heart melted at the scene.

Pei Shipan’s fingers twitched slightly as he fought the impulse to move forward and stroke it. "Let’s begin," he said.

Tuoluola pressed its antlers against Lubao’s head.

Immediately after, ripples emanated around the antlers.

"Tuotuo," Tuoluola called out and closed its eyes.

"Lubao," Lubao also closed its eyes following suit.

"It’s asking Binglu Qia to recall the scene from that time," Pei Shipan interpreted.

Qiao Sang understood that recalling a certain memory allows memory reading to be faster and more accurate.

A minute later, Tuoluola opened its eyes.

"Did you see it?" Pei Shipan asked.

"Tuotuo," Tuoluola nodded.

"What did you see?" Pei Shipan continued to inquire.

"Tuotuo."

"Tuotuo, tuo."

"Tuotuo."

Tuoluola seriously described the scene it had witnessed.

When Tuoluola stopped talking, Qiao Sang asked with an expectant face, "What did it say?"

Pei Shipan hesitated a moment, then spoke, "It said there was a tree, a house, and a small-sized green Pet Beast."

Qiao Sang: "???"
