Chapter 271: Chapter 259: Local Heterochromia
“Xun?”
Xiao Xunbao, upon hearing his Beast Tamer’s words, first showed a puzzled expression, then anxiously teleported in front of the full-length mirror in the living room to look at himself.
The next second, Xiao Xunbao’s screams echoed throughout the house.
“Xun!!!”
Two minutes later.
In the living room.
“Ya Ya…”
Yaobao patted the weeping Xiao Xunbao with his paw as a sign of comfort.
It’s just that you’ve shrunk a bit after evolving, no big deal…
“Xun Xun!”
Seeing Yaobao, who was now N times his size, Xiao Xunbao cried even harder.
Why is there such a big difference between our evolutions!
“Lulu.”
Shuilu Yana nodded in agreement beside them.
The difference is indeed quite significant.
“Xun!”
Qiao Sang watched from the sofa as her three Pet Beasts interacted, feeling reassured. With Yaobao and Shuilu Yana comforting Xiao Xunbao, things shouldn’t be too bad…
She picked up her phone and went online to look for answers.
Although Xiao Xunbao now looked much better than a regular Treasure-seeking Demon, this was still not a normal situation.
In the real world, it was basically very difficult to meet someone with a contracted Treasure-seeking Ghost, but online, as soon as you searched for issues related to “Treasure-seeking Ghost,” a bunch of Beast Tamers with contracted Treasure-seeking Ghosts would appear to discuss below.
Qiao Sang went to the forum.
She posted a thread titled “#Why did my Treasure-seeking Ghost evolve into a smaller version of Treasure-seeking Demon, and why is the color slightly different#”.
Shortly after, she received dozens of comments.
“Without understanding, are you just showing off?”
New n𝙤vel chapters are published on freeweɓnøvel.com.
“No picture, no truth—unless you show us a photo.”
“One look at the poster’s ID, and you know they’re a regular braggart.”
Showing off?
Qiao Sang was somewhat baffled for a moment. What does showing off have to do with this?
As she pondered, dozens more replies popped up in the thread.
“Could it be that the Treasure-seeking Ghost was malnourished, leading to the smaller size after evolution into a Treasure-seeking Demon?”
“The one above is an honest person, assessment complete.”
“Let’s disperse. Why gather here to listen to the poster boast?”
“How can you talk about the poster like that? Don’t you know online that everyone has at least one variant colored Pet Beast?”
Variant color?
Qiao Sang stared at these words for a moment, then instantly understood why the netizens mentioned showing off—they assumed she was boasting about the different color of her Treasure-seeking Demon.
She looked up at Xiao Xunbao, who was still engulfed in sorrow, and quickly shook her head to rid herself of the impractical thoughts.
Xiao Xunbao already belonged to the Psychic Series. If he also had a variant color, wouldn’t that be defying the heavens?!
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Qiao Sang typed a reply:
“I’m seriously here to ask a question. I can guarantee that my Treasure-seeking Demon is not a variant colored Pet Beast. Its body is the same grey as a normal Treasure-seeking Demon, only the tip of its tail is a slightly different color. Putting color aside for now, the main issue I don’t understand is its size.”
Immediately, netizens commented below:
“Don’t you know about partial variant coloring?”
“Damn, at first I thought the poster was just bragging, but with this explanation, it seems like it might be true.”
“If I’m not mistaken, your Treasure-seeking Demon might be a Pet Beast with partial variant coloring. Some part-variant colored creatures might have a certain chance of an energy anomaly, making it possible for their size to differ after evolution from other beasts of the same species, like Cui Tong’s Whirlwind Colt that has only a variant colored tail but is twice the size of other Whirlwind Colts.”
“The one above actually took it seriously…”
“The analysis in post 47 makes sense, but have you considered that the poster only noticed the different color after the Treasure-seeking Ghost evolved into a Treasure-seeking Demon? That means the color was normal when it was a Treasure-seeking Ghost. Variant colored beasts are usually determined at birth; it’s not likely that they become variant colored only after evolving.”
“Brother speaks the truth; I was wrong.”
“So it’s been said that the poster boasts without a draft. Saying the Treasure-seeking Ghost’s color is different would have been enough, but they had to claim the evolved Treasure-seeking Demon’s color is different too.”
The thread kept refreshing, but Qiao Sang didn’t scroll down, instead staring at the comment from post #47 and falling into a long, silent contemplation.
Partial albinism…
Previously, she hadn’t considered the albinism at all, partly because Xiao Xunbao, when it was still a Treasure-seeking Ghost, looked no different from the average one.
On the other hand, albino Pet Beasts were exceedingly rare and infrequent.
Xiao Xunbao already possessed Psychic Series attributes, and if you added albinism to the mix, these two elements combined in one Pet Beast were something even the developers of the Beast Taming game would not dare to conceive.
But now that she thought back, it struck her that Xiao Xunbao’s eyes were a different color compared to the regular Treasure-seeking Ghosts when it was still one.
Xiao Xunbao’s eyes were golden yellow, while a normal Treasure-seeking Ghost’s eyes were medium yellow.
If this wasn’t a hereditary issue, but rather Xiao Xunbao was naturally albino, then everything made sense…
Because it was an albino Pet Beast, and had very fortunately undergone an energy mutation, it managed to possess Spectral Series attributes and at the same time mutated to have Psychic Series attributes.
And because it was albino, after evolving into a Treasure-seeking Demon, its body was a size smaller than its kin.
The logic was clear…
At this moment, Qiao Sang felt as if she could hear her own heart beating intensely.
She looked at Xiao Xunbao, still immersed in sorrow, took a deep breath, and, taking two tissues from the coffee table, walked over and handed them to Xiao Xunbao.
“Xun…”
Xiao Xunbao looked up with its tearful eyes.
Qiao Sang said softly, “Stop crying, you won’t get any bigger from crying.”
Xiao Xunbao: “…!”
After Qiao Sang explained for nearly ten minutes, Xiao Xunbao’s puffed-up mouth finally returned to its usual appearance.
“Xun Xun!”
Xiao Xunbao floated in front of a full-length mirror, turned its body excitedly, and checked out its own tail.
So it was an albino Pet Beast!
No wonder it always felt so much more handsome than the same species it had seen online!
…
9:15 PM.
Hongying Beast Battle Club.
Wang Yiding stared at the greatly changed Xiao Xunbao and asked, “Qiao Sang, your Treasure-seeking Ghost… has it evolved?”
“Yes.” Qiao Sang smiled and said, “It evolved today.”
Wang Yiding was silent for a long time before uttering four words: “…Typical of you!”
True to form, Qiao Sang was amazing! Both of her Pet Beasts had evolved to the intermediate level! And the Treasure-seeking Demon in front of him looked different from the usual ones; its size was obviously smaller.
If this were anyone else’s Treasure-seeking Demon, he would have suspected it suffered from stunted growth, but this was Qiao Sang’s Pet Beast, and only one thought came to him—concentration is the essence.
“Let’s start the traini…” Qiao Sang was halfway through her sentence when-
“Xun~”
Just then, Xiao Xunbao deliberately spun around, flashing its golden tail end for all to see.
Wang Yiding’s attention was instantly drawn, and he exclaimed, “Qiao Sang, did you also dye your Treasure-seeking Demon’s hair?”
Xiao Xunbao: “…”
“It’s getting late; let’s start the training right away,” Qiao Sang swiftly changed the subject.
The fact that Xiao Xunbao’s albinism was partial and not as obvious as other albino Pet Beasts made it too troublesome to explain.
And albino Pet Beasts were indeed a rarity in reality.
Several Beast Tamers who owned albino Pet Beasts had complained online that whenever they asserted their Pet Beasts were naturally albino and not dyed, someone would propose letting the Pet Beast take a bath to prove it.
After the bath with no color washed out, others would ask which styling salon did the styling work without causing color loss.
In the end, even if you argued till you were blue in the face, there would still be those who doubted whether your Pet Beast was truly albino.
Rather than that, it was better not to bring up the topic in the first place.
Wang Yiding’s purpose in coming was to teach his Ke Guan Kitty Teleportation, so naturally, he had no objections.
This time, Qiao Sang didn’t sit on the sidelines but joined Xiao Xunbao and Ke Guan Kitty on the training field.
Once she was in position, she looked at Xiao Xunbao and said, “Hypnotism.”
“Xun~”
“Ke Guan?”
ps: The World Cup finals are at 11 PM tonight; I’ll post the additional chapter tomorrow morning!
