Chapter 701: Chapter 631 Save Me

The boy instinctively covered his head and explained,

"I saw her holding a pet beast and thought she wasn’t some powerful beast tamer."

The man with the twin mustaches yanked him to one side and warned, "I’ve told you before, even those F-grade beast tamers are not someone you can mess with at will!"

The boy lowered his head, making his expression unclear, "I understand now."

"Lift your head up," the man with twin mustaches said, watching the approaching subway, "Get back to work."

Qiao Sang stepped into the carriage with Gangbao.

"Next stop, Terry Station."

The announcement sounded, and the doors of the carriage closed.

Qiao Sang found a seat and sat down.

Gangbao stayed by her side, causing the passengers to subtly keep their distance from her.

Beast Taming wasn’t a rare profession, but most of the passengers on this subway came from the direction of Zuo Pang District; the vast majority were ordinary people who had to work hard in You Pang City every day. They were used to keeping a distance from beast tamers.

Suddenly, a thin figure sat down beside her.

Qiao Sang was looking down at her phone and didn’t pay attention.

She was currently browsing her social media feed.

After posting her acceptance letter from the Imperial Beastmaster Academy in her feed last time, aside from relatives and some people added by chance, there weren’t any messages from her former classmates. She thought it was because they had lost touch over time, but now, seeing the numerous replies, she realized it was because today was the weekend and everyone had just gotten their smartphones.

Poor high school students... Qiao Sang felt a moment of sympathy for her classmates who still had to surrender their phones during classes on time.

[Where did you find this picture? It looks quite convincing.]

[If I didn’t know you were a slacker, I might have believed it.]

[How are the pet beasts on Chao Su Star? Have you thought about a contract with any?]

[Wow! You actually posted something! But what the heck is that?]

[Please send me the original picture; I also want to Photoshop an acceptance letter with my name on it!]

[So this is what an admission notice from the Imperial Beastmaster Academy looks like. Enlightening, but now I’m concerned about something else: why are you allowed to use a smartphone?!]

Qiao Sang read the replies below and a smile formed on her lips.

"Steel Guardian!"

At that moment, Gangbao suddenly spread its wings over Qiao Sang’s knees, firmly pressing down on the pocket on her other side.

Qiao Sang felt the movement, looked down, and saw that Gangbao was holding down a hand that was slipping into her pocket.

You’ve got to be kidding me... Qiao Sang turned her head and saw a face that was not entirely unfamiliar.

Brown hair, a gaunt face, looking somewhat malnourished, it was the same boy who had stolen the Chan Chan Stone not long ago.

Geez, you again... You really have it out for me, huh... Qiao Sang’s mouth twitched involuntarily.

She hadn’t expected that in addition to Yaobao, even after specifically summoning Gangbao to her side, someone would still target her.

And it was the same person twice, which was simply too much.

Could it be that she looked easy to steal from?

"Gangbao, don’t let him get away," Qiao Sang said as she took out her smartphone to call the police.

Initially, she didn’t want to waste time on the young thief and was inclined to let it go, but now that he had targeted her twice, she had to act.

The fact that she ran into him even after changing subway routes was outrageous. This guy was definitely a habitual offender, and he had to be sent to the police station for a good lesson.

"Ya Ya!"

Before Gangbao could reply, Yaobao placed its paw on the boy’s hand and gave a cry, indicating that it was on the case and wouldn’t let the guy escape!

"Steel Guardian."

Gangbao nodded and retracted its wings.

It was sitting on the other side of its own beast tamer, so pressing down like this was indeed quite inconvenient.

Yaobao was in its reduced size at the moment, with paws just as pitifully small, looking soft and cute, completely lacking any deterrent power.

Nevertheless, the boy looked terrified, not moving his hand an inch.

Qiao Sang assumed the boy remembered what Yaobao looked like when it got bigger and knew he couldn’t escape.

"Please don’t call the police!" a voice suddenly rang out.

Qiao Sang looked up and saw a man in his thirties wearing black clothes with a pair of mustaches.

"My child is still young. Could you please let him off this time? I will make sure to discipline him properly," the man said sincerely.

After speaking, he slapped the boy’s head hard and said sternly,

"Apologize to the Beast Tamer Master right now!"

Beast Tamer Master... Qiao Sang was taken aback for a moment.

Honestly, it was the first time she had heard someone address her like that...

The boy was silent for a moment, then murmured low,

"I’m sorry."

At the same time, Qiao Sang felt something, a chill in his heart, though his expression remained unchanged.

The surrounding passengers turned their attention toward them.

Seeing Qiao Sang unresponsive for the moment, some passengers with a bleeding heart couldn’t help but speak up:

"Let it go, the kid is still young."

"Let him go home and get a beating from his family. I believe after this one time, he won’t dare to do it again."

"His dad is here, there won’t be a next time."

Most of those present were ordinary people, who envied Beast Tamers, yet inherently empathized with those like themselves. Seeing that the Beast Tamer was also a young child, they all took his side.

Others were indifferent to the situation, not wanting to get involved in trouble.

The man with the tufted beard, seeing so many people speaking for him, felt the matter should be settled and reached out to pull the boy back.

"Yaobao!"

But as soon as he reached out, Yaobao bared its teeth and showed an aggressive expression.

The man with the tufted beard was startled, stiffly retracting his hand.

He remembered what this Pet Beast looked like when it grew larger.

With a size of around three meters, it nearly occupied half of the train carriage, a truly terrifying sight.

The surrounding people immediately fell silent; their unity was based on the premise the Beast Tamer didn’t react or show any angry emotions. Once the Beast Tamer or his Pet Beast made a move, they didn’t dare to speak.

"We have arrived at Terri Station, please take your belongings and prepare to disembark," announced the voice of the broadcast at this time.

Ignoring the crowd, Qiao Sang reached out to grab the boy, rising to walk out of the carriage while saying to the person on the newly connected call:

"Someone stole from me on the subway, I’m now at Terri Station..."

The boy was silently dragged along without any resistance.

The man with the tufted beard watched the boy’s withdrawing figure with anger, hesitated for a moment, but chose not to follow.

The train doors closed.

His son had been taken away, yet he didn’t follow... The crowd looked at the man with strange looks in their eyes.

The man with the tufted beard ignored the gazes of the people and took out his phone to dial a number:

"Mr. Fein, are you at Terri Station right now?"

...

Terri Station.

Qiao Sang let go of the boy, saying:

"He didn’t follow."

When the other party had been saying "I’m sorry," she felt him write two words in her pocket:

[Save me]

The boy turned his head, double-checking the man truly hadn’t followed, then said from the bottom of his heart, "Thank you!"

Suddenly thinking of something, he asked, "Did you really call the police just now?"

Qiao Sang nodded, "I did."

Initially, she indeed wanted the boy to get a lesson from the police, but then she thought if the other party wasn’t lying to her, it would be good to have the police come over so he could explain the situation to them.

"That’s good," the boy let out a small sigh of relief.

It seemed he was quite hoping for the police to come... Qiao Sang felt a stir in her heart and asked:

"Can you tell me what exactly is going on?"

The boy fell silent for a moment, then said, "I can tell you, but can you stay with me until the police arrive?"

Otherwise, who reported it... Qiao Sang hummed an affirmative.

"Ya Ya!"

At that moment, Yaobao bared its teeth and made a noise.

Qiao Sang’s heart stirred, smiling she said, "Let’s move to a different place first."

What? The boy was taken aback.

"Xiao Xunbao," Qiao Sang said, looking towards the empty space beside her.

"Xun Xun~"

Xiao Xunbao appeared, its eyes glowing blue.

The boy was startled. Before he could react, his vision went dark.

The next second, gentle ripples of soil-yellow spread across the ground where the boy had been standing, turning the hard surface to sand as they passed.

A middle-aged man wearing a black bowler hat stepped out from behind a nearby pillar, frowning and muttering:

"Spatial Movement..."
