The outdoor pet beast training ground was spacious, and there weren’t many people training, spread out quite widely.
But it’s in human nature to love a commotion—once the man shouted, the crowd’s gossip radar immediately activated, and they all gathered around.
Seeing that the girl in front of him didn’t speak for a moment, the man felt smug inside.
As a professional con artist, he had set his sights on the girl early in the morning.
The girl wasn’t old, but she had three pet beasts. Although he couldn’t identify what kind they were, he still had normal vision to realize that much.
The red and white pet beast as well as the blue one appeared luxurious, even in the Imperial Capital, a place teeming with rare pet beasts, he had never seen the likes—clearly, they weren’t cheap.
Especially that red and white pet beast, which even had a lightweight Shrinking Bracelet on its paw!
That thing wasn’t something one could just buy casually.
The girl, despite looking like a high school student, he guessed with his years of conning experience that she was a college student with a younger appearance—after all, what high schooler could contract three pet beasts.
And college students, with less social experience, are the most naive and easily duped; primary and secondary students might still call their parents when in trouble, but college students won’t.
Like this, a college student with rare pet beasts was sure to have a substantial allowance.
She must be really panicking right now.
Look, she can’t even speak.
What does it matter if her Beast Taming ability is high? She’s still going to be played like a fiddle by him.
Just as the man was feeling secretly pleased, he saw the girl before him smile slightly and say, "Yaobao, use Destroying Glare."
The man’s expression stiffened.
Destroying Glare?
She was going to use Destroying Glare on him?!
seconds passed, and Yaobao, who had already recovered, opened his mouth, and a powerful white energy immediately condensed inside it.
Damn! She’s actually serious! The man came to his senses, realizing he had met a tough opponent, and immediately shouted:
"Wait!"
Qiao Sang was only trying to scare him; she hadn’t really intended to do it, but seeing Lailaida with its eyes shut, acting faint even now, she found it amusing and wanted to see when it would "wake up," so she didn’t speak.
The man, seeing the red and white pet beast’s accumulating Destroying Glare growing bigger, broke out in a cold sweat; he grabbed Lailaida and hurriedly got up to run.
Seeing that the spectacle was over so quickly, the disappointed onlookers let out a collective "eh" and scattered.
"Yaobao, stop," Qiao Sang said.
At her command, Yaobao dissipated the energy he had gathered.
Watching the man run off into the distance, Lailaida still appearing to be faint in his arms, Qiao Sang couldn’t repress her curiosity and said:
"Make them stop."
"Yaobao!"
Yaobao’s eyes gleamed with a blue light.
An invisible force suddenly descended upon the man still in flight.
Good heavens, why can’t I run... The man’s face was the picture of despair.
Some of the crowd that had still been paying attention brightened up at the sight and gathered around once more.
Qiao Sang approached.
"I was wrong, miss! Please!" The man’s face was pale.
How could he have been so unlucky to have encountered such a tough nut to crack when there were so many naive college students around?
Still playing possum... Qiao Sang came up close to examine Lailaida, and the more she looked, the more surprised she became, because she realized this pet beast actually seemed to be in a faint.
"It..."
"It’s fine!" The man looked at the girl before him, feeling intimidated, and quickly explained: "It’s just used its Skill ’Deceive’!"
Qiao Sang looked towards the man: "Deceive?"
Still a college student, yet she knows nothing about Deceive... the man inwardly scoffed but was outwardly submissive: "Deceive is an Evil Attribute Skill, which can make oneself enter a state where even they themselves are deceived."
Qiao Sang thought to herself that it really was a shame not to be an actor with such a Skill.
She didn’t notice Xiao Xunbao showing an interested expression at her side.
