Chapter 746: Chapter 668 If This Is a Wish... (Suggested to be read together with tomorrow’s Chapter)

Qiao Sang’s expression froze.

A speech-capable creature?

At that moment, a somewhat familiar voice came from the side:

"Spectral-type Pet Beasts can only speak human language when they possess someone. Whatever they say is exactly what the deceased person wanted to say."

Qiao Sang followed the voice and saw Number 98.

"You haven’t left?" Qiao Sang asked in surprise.

"I was about to leave," the woman said. "But it seemed like the Spectral-type creature was only targeting this man, so I stayed."

Qiao Sang: "..."

The true nature of people really is to love watching the excitement.

The man didn’t answer the "little girl’s" question but instead refocused his attention on "her."

Seeing this, Qiao Sang didn’t dare to let Xiao Xunbao withdraw the psychic control for the time being.

This man, dressed up so properly, surely must be a Beast Tamer to mix well in the first district. Although Qiao Sang didn’t know whether he was a Professional Beast Tamer or his level, the fact that his first reaction after being attacked by the Spectral-type creature wasn’t fear or seeking help, but to make a summoning seal, it’s not hard to deduce that he must have at least one General-level Pet Beast with decent combat power.

With so many onlookers still around, a fight would definitely result in many casualties.

He must not let the man summon his Pet Beast...

But Xiao Xunbao can’t absorb everyone’s negative Emotional Energy while exerting Telekinesis... Thinking up to here, Qiao Sang glanced subtly at Number 98, hoping she was too engrossed in watching the excitement to remember they were in a competition.

"Why, did, you?"

The "little girl" asked again.

The man’s eyes were ferocious as he shouted, "Get off my daughter!"

Seeing this scene, the judgmental look in the eyes of the crowd toward the man lessened considerably.

"This Spectral-type Pet Beast must be wild. How can we doubt a father who has just lost two children because of a wild creature?" someone in the crowd mused.

Immediately, another person agreed:

"Yes, it’s said that Spectrum-type creatures only possess those who died tragically. The girl, I remember, died from falling off a building, which is certainly a tragic death. It might not be her father’s fault."

"Whatever the Spectral-type creature does after possession is to fulfill the deceased’s last wishes. Remember the old lady in the news who was possessed? She was stabbed to death by her grandson. However, after being possessed, she didn’t look for the grandson but instead found her daughter and told her not to be sad. Maybe this little girl is just asking her dad why he didn’t save her."

"That makes sense."

Even with the Pet Beasts’ characteristics and nature out in the open, people of Chao Su Star subconsciously choose to believe in other humans over creatures.

The "little girl" moved stiffly toward the man.

The man wanted to step back but found as if his feet were controlled and he couldn’t move. His expression instantly became panic-stricken.

The "little girl" stretched out a pale, bloodless hand, seemingly about to clasp it onto the man’s neck, when a green thorny vine swiftly entwined itself around "her" wrist.

The "little girl" looked up and saw a male human and a green Pet Beast about three meters in size.

"Quickly summon your Pet Beasts to help!" a young person who thought he was being heroically just shouted loudly.

People are strange. Although they would be deathly scared facing a General-level Pet Beast alone, when surrounded by a group and seeing someone take the lead, everyone seemed to gain courage.

Many responded to the call, forming seals with their hands.

Various Star Arrays lit up around them.

The man was first taken aback, then his mouth involuntarily curled up into a smile, but he quickly realized it was inappropriate to smile under the circumstances and subdued his expression.

Qiao Sang looked at the "little girl" with a complex expression.

In truth, with the prior incident of Xiao Xunbao sensing Emotional Energy, she truly believed there was something wrong with the man, but now she didn’t know what she could do under these circumstances.

It wasn’t like she could join the "little girl" in fighting a group of Beast Tamers.

Actually, letting them fight it out was not a problem. The best course of action would be to wait for the police to arrive, and then explain the situation... Qiao Sang thought calmly.

But then a flood of other thoughts surged through her mind.

What would happen after the police took the man away?

Even if the truth was uncovered, would he receive the death penalty?

No.

Beast Tamers on Chao Su Star were always treated favorably. He would get a suspended sentence, or even be released on bail.

Maybe it was better to let the "little girl" settle the score here, avenge a grudge...

At this moment, a heated battle was raging around the man as the center, Skills of various colors lighting up. Most of the summoned Pet Beasts were General-level or below, but their numbers momentarily restricted the "little girl’s" movements, preventing "her" from getting close to the man.

Qiao Sang silently exhaled and looked toward Xiao Xunbao, lowering his voice as he said:

"Get the man in front of Qian Yuan’s multiple facets."

"Xun Xun~"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xunbao revealed a slightly excited expression.

The next second, the man who had been surrounded and protected suddenly slid uncontrollably through various pet beasts, heading in the direction of the "little girl."

At that moment, the man’s face changed tremendously and he finally exclaimed:

"Save me!"

Regrettably, the noise of the fighting was too loud at that moment, and everyone’s attention was focused on the "little girl," completely unaware that their charge was crying out for help.

So when the man appeared before the "little girl" with a face full of despair, everybody was stunned.

"Qian Yuan?"

The "little girl" tilted her head, seemingly puzzled as well.

Immediately afterward, "she" seemed to remember something, raising her hand as a black energy sphere swiftly condensed.

Qiao Sang looked on with a calm expression at this scene.

Suddenly, a sigh from number 98 could be heard nearby:

"If this is the little girl’s wish, once this shadow ball goes down, I’m afraid her soul will be completely gone."

Qiao Sang was startled and instinctively shouted:

"Xiao Xunbao!"

"Xun Xun~"

Without needing explicit instructions, Xiao Xunbao knew what its Beast Tamer meant, and its eyes shone with a blue gleam as it glanced to the left.

The man then uncontrollably flew to the left and crashed heavily against a tree.

At the same time, with a "boom," the shadow ball hit nothing but air, landing where the man had just been and creating a large crater.

Qiao Sang’s recent call for Xiao Xunbao had been so loud that many people took notice of her.

Observing the blue glow in Xiao Xunbao’s eyes, the crowd quickly came to their own conclusions and started praising:

"Well done!"

"Kid, good job!"

"If it weren’t for you, this guy would probably be gone."

Qiao Sang just smiled and said nothing.

...

The Augustus Tournament Arena.

The audience watching the live broadcast of contestant number 113 fell silent for a moment, then started to discuss hesitantly:

"If I’m not mistaken, that man was just sent to Qian Yuan by number 113, right..."

"I saw it too..."

"That guy was about to make hand seals when he was controlled by that Spectral-type Pet Beast with telekinesis."

"Why did she then control the man to dodge the attack at the end?"

"It seems like something number 98 said."

Those who had heard what number 98 said fell silent once again.

...

Fredbite Comprehensive Hospital.

The man struggled to open his eyes and, following the direction of the voices, saw that everyone was praising the girl who had just controlled his movements. He was so furious that he nearly spat out blood.

At that moment, a dark shadow rapidly arrived, entangling him and tightening around his arms, fingers, and legs.

Then, with a movement, his body instantly emitted the sound of breaking bones.

"Ahh!!!"

The man’s agonizing scream sent a chill down everyone’s spine, instilling fear and retreat, and for a moment, no one dared to attack the "little girl" again.

The "little girl" used Shadow Control to approach the man.

This time, no one stopped her.
