Chapter 2187: Chapter 283: Searching for Hidden Ghost Grass (Double-length) (Part 2)
The three Nannan Spirits blinked their innocent eyes.
You’ve finally realized what it feels like to have your privacy invaded. She used to go through this all the time... Qiao Sang shielded her thoughts and subtly glanced in the direction of Gangbao.
Gangbao was staring right at her.
Qiao Sang quickly averted her gaze, coughed, and said:
"First, let go of the left mouth of the Nannan Spirit."
Nannan Spirits have two mouths. The left mouth is for speaking their own language, while the right mouth is for voicing everyone’s thoughts.
"Xun Xun..."
"Qing Qing..."
Little Treasure Spirit and Qingbao exchanged a glance, displaying a hesitant expression.
"It only uses the right mouth to speak everyone’s thoughts," Qiao Sang explained.
"Xun Xun..."
"Qing Qing..."
Little Treasure Spirit and Qingbao both sighed in relief and loosened the Nannan Spirit’s left mouth.
"You have the choice to leave or stay. If you choose to stay, I might need to seal your right mouth," Qiao Sang said.
Although Nannan Spirits are gentle by nature, people tend to keep their distance since they voice deep-seated thoughts; even with a Beast Tamer Contract, the right mouth is usually sealed when taking them out.
There are even special tools on the market for sealing their mouth.
The three Nannan Spirits exchanged glances and quickly nodded, all calling out in unison.
They knew they couldn’t control their mouths and weren’t opposed to having them sealed, since they could still talk and eat with the left mouth.
"Xun Xun~"
Little Treasure Spirit quickly released its paw, took out some tape from the ring, and stuck it on the Nannan Spirits’ mouths.
Then it peeked around the room and, seeing no fourth Nannan Spirit, put the tape back into the ring.
After a simple wash-up and breakfast, Qiao Sang notified Teacher Mikaela. After arranging for the training of Lubao and others, she set out with Little Treasure Spirit and the Spectral-type Pet Beasts to begin their search.
She first went to a shop to purchase maps of Jia Country and the current city. Then she rode the wind to the sky, opened the map, and said:
"Let’s split up to search. We are currently in Dunte City, so let’s start by searching nearby areas and gradually expand our search. Hidden Ghost Grass cannot be cultivated by humans; it usually grows in heavily shadowed woods, near creeks, or hillside grass patches, so there’s no point looking in the city center..."
Qiao Sang allocated the search areas.
The Spectral-type Pet Beasts listened attentively, nodding occasionally.
After about five minutes of explanations, Qiao Sang finished and said:
"That’s about it. Alright, everyone, spread out to search. If you find anything, bring it back, and I’ll grant you any one request as a reward."
The Spectral-type Pet Beasts immediately showed happy expressions and all called out.
"Steel Authority."
Gangbao suddenly chimed in, indicating that they might get lost.
Indeed, these Spectral-type Pet Beasts were left behind by Gangbao because they got lost... Qiao Sang looked at Little Treasure Spirit and said:
"Get a pen out."
"Xun Xun~"
Little Treasure Spirit took a pen from the ring.
Qiao Sang took the pen and wrote her number on the Spectral-type Pet Beasts.
Once she had written it on all of them, she put away the pen and added, "If you do find Hidden Ghost Grass but can’t find our hotel, call this number to contact me."
The Spectral-type Pet Beasts all called out and scattered.
"Xun Xun?"
Little Treasure Spirit called out, suggesting maybe they shouldn’t each search separate locations?
"We should split up," Qiao Sang replied. "It’ll be more efficient that way."
"Xun Xun~"
Little Treasure Spirit cheerfully called out, then realizing it might be too excited, quickly restrained its expression and put on a reluctant face, calling out:
"Xun Xun~"
Okay, off I go then.
With that, it turned and floated toward the direction previously assigned by its Beast Tamer.
"Wait a moment," Qiao Sang called.
"Xun Xun?" Little Treasure Spirit stopped and turned back.
"Let Gangbao accompany you," Qiao Sang suggested.
She remembered what Nannan Spirit had said earlier, knowing Little Treasure Spirit might be tempted to play if it searched alone. Although it would still search, a lot of time could end up wasted.
"Xun Xun..."
Little Treasure Spirit froze, trying to refuse.
But Old Four couldn’t see Hidden Ghost Grass...
Before Qiao Sang could respond, Gangbao called out:
"Steel Authority."
Boss, please let me accompany you.
"Xun Xun~"
Little Treasure Spirit was stunned, but then couldn’t help but smile and call out, indicating that it agreed.
