Chapter 247: Chapter 235 Why are you following me?
Calling the police was definitely not an option; should she go to the police station, surveillance footage would be pulled and others would learn of Shuilu Yana’s existence.
Even if the nearby surveillance happened to be broken or didn’t capture her, she hadn’t even lost a strand of hair—in general, this kind of tailing wouldn’t constitute a criminal offense.
Even if the police determined that the tailing was severe, at most she’d face a fine or a few days of detention and then would be released; afterwards, she would probably have to be on guard against this person causing more trouble every day.
After pondering for a while, Qiao Sang picked up her phone and sent Xu Jia her location, along with a message:
[Help me out]
Xu Jia replied instantly: [I’m in class right now!]
Qiao Sang typed rapidly: [You can actually bring cell phones to school]
Messages kept coming in.
Xu Jia: [Our school isn’t as strict as yours, there are loads of people sneaking phones in]
Xu Jia: [Eh? Isn’t it class time right now, and you’re playing with your phone!]
Xu Jia: [I get it! Are you looking for me because you need Huanhuan to attend class for you]
Xu Jia: [Not to be a nag, but ditching class on the third day of school, not cool]
Xu Jia: [Speaking from experience, listen to my advice, the last thing you want at school is for a teacher to remember you, once you catch their attention, they’ll think of you for everything, calling on you during class, that death glare, pop quizzes on recitation, you might have to go through all of it every day]
Qiao Sang felt a bit anxious seeing the last message, took a moment to gather her thoughts, and started typing:
[I’m not ditching class, I’m taking a leave of absence, and the favor I need isn’t Huanhuan attending class for me but something else, for which I can pay you extra]
Xu Jia replied quickly: [Talking money feels wrong, just wait, I’ll send Huanhuan over right now]
After contacting Xu Jia, Qiao Sang opened her contact list and dialed the vice principal’s mobile number.
“What is it,” came the vice principal’s voice from the speaker.
“Vice principal, I don’t have my homeroom teacher’s contact information; could you help me ask for a day off from them,” asked Qiao Sang.
“Sure, but what’s your reason for taking leave?” Liu Yao asked.
“I woke up feeling a bit unwell this morning, seems like I’m running a fever; I’d like to lie down at home,” Qiao Sang mentioned a reasonable and handy sick leave excuse.
A fever? What about your family? You should be going to the hospital right now,” Liu Yao frowned while saying.
“It’s alright, I’m going to rest at home first, and I’ll go to the hospital if I still feel unwell in the afternoon,” Qiao Sang pretended to be weak.
Just then, an uncle clutching a briefcase happened to pass by; he glanced at Li Songhai lying on the ground and the two pet beasts passed out beside him, approached kindly, and said, “Little sister, do you need help?”
Qiao Sang quickly covered the mouthpiece of her phone, shaking her head and mouthing a refusal.
After the passerby left, Qiao Sang put the phone to her ear and continued in a feeble voice: “Then, I’m counting on you for the leave.”
Liu Yao, who had improved hearing due to being fed back by pet beasts: “…”
However, Liu Yao didn’t blow her cover and replied as calmly as ever: “Then rest well, and by the way, if the principal looks for you wanting you to switch to the senior division of the National Campus Beast Taming Competitions, remember to refuse. We should focus on stability; with your ability, securing the first place in the freshmen division of the province is not a problem.”
Pausing, Liu Yao continued: “If you get a chance to enter the national finals through the district competitions, academic grades and such won’t matter anymore.”
Great minds think alike… Qiao Sang responded solemnly: “Understood.”
After hanging up, under the influence of Yaobao’s telekinesis, Li Songhai and his two pet beasts were moved to a nearby alley.
Half an hour later, Xu Jia sent a message: [Huanhuan has arrived at the location you sent]
Qiao Sang went outside and indeed saw a Spectral-type Huanhuan looking around the roadside in confusion with a mini navigator hanging around its neck.
“Over here!” Qiao Sang called out.
“Huanhuan!”
Upon hearing the voice, Huanhuan turned its head, its eyes lighting up as it clearly recognized Qiao Sang.
…
Li Songhai’s eyes snapped open, and there it was—a Spectral-type Pet Beast sticking its tongue out, right in front of his face.
“Ah!!”
Just as its tongue was about to lick his face, Li Songhai screamed and frantically tried to back away, only to realize his hands were tied.
With no other choice, he could only desperately shuffle backward with his buttocks.
The Treasure-seeking Ghost saw him wake and leisurely drifted back to its own Beast Tamer’s side.
That was when Li Songhai noticed he was in an alley, one he was familiar with; it was the same alley where he hid the night before, nearly drained of blood.
“You’re awake.”
“Ah!!” Startled by the voice, Li Songhai instinctively let out another shout.
He hadn’t slept well and was in a vulnerable state. Waking up to a Spectral-type Pet Beast up close and then discovering his hands were bound, all in the alley that had traumatized him, made any little noise set him off.
Following the voice, Li Songhai turned to see a delicately featured girl standing in the shadows, watching him with a benevolent smile.
Beside her stood the Psychic Series Pet Beast whose name he couldn’t recall and the very Spectral-type Pet Beast that had just startled him.
“What do you want?” Li Songhai asked, regaining his composure.
Once he recognized the person in front of him as the inhabitant of apartment 1075, he wasn’t panicked anymore—what could such a young girl do to him?
Qiao Sang smiled, ignoring his question. She stepped forward, crouched down, and began to untie the shoelaces that bound his hands. “First, recall your Pet Beasts.”

Recall his Pet Beasts?
Li Songhai was taken aback, his mind momentarily befuddled.
Had his Steel Armored Beast and Raining Swift Sparrow been discovered?
Right, his Steel Armored Beast and Raining Swift Sparrow were still out there. So why were his hands tied, and why had he been brought here?
“If you don’t recall them, don’t blame me,” Qiao Sang said.
“Yaobao!”
“Heeheeheehee…”
Yaobao and Xiao Xunbao, the Treasure-seeking Ghost, posed threateningly, like villains ready to strike.
“I’m on it!”
Li Songhai was quick to respond, though he made no move to act, sensing the locations of his Steel Armored Beast and Raining Swift Sparrow with his mind.
Then, as if sensing something else, he stiffly turned his head to look deep into the alley to his left, eyes wide open and frozen, like a clay statue.
“I’ll count to three.”
Before Qiao Sang could even start counting, Li Songhai panicked and gestured hastily to recall his Pet Beasts without delay.
“I’ve recalled them!” Li Songhai said with a trembling voice.
It was the last thing he expected—to wake up and find his Steel Armored Beast and Raining Swift Sparrow both had fainted.
Instantly, Qiao Sang’s image became terrifying and mysterious.
The smile on the young girl’s face no longer seemed kind—it was deadly kind!
Qiao Sang tied his hands back up.
Li Songhai didn’t struggle; with only a feeble Water Snot Worm awake in his Beast Taming Codex and the Steel Armored Beast down, he had no hope that the Water Snot Worm could save him.
“Why were you following me?” Qiao Sang began the interrogation.
