Qiao Sang didn't go straight to the Beast Taming Center to collect her reward; instead, she headed home.
Once back in her familiar room, she collapsed into bed and fell asleep. Having stayed up all night, her eyelids could no longer stay open.
Within less than a minute of dozing off, Qiao Sang felt like she had forgotten to do something. After a while, she struggled to get up and charge her phone.
Now she could finally sleep peacefully...
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
When Qiao Sang woke up, she didn't feel the slightest bit drowsy, just refreshed and invigorated, as if even the air had become much fresher. She didn't entertain the thought of staying in bed any longer.
She got up and washed up.
After freshening up, Qiao Sang suddenly realized that Xiao Xunbao, the Treasure-seeking Ghost that spent 23 hours of the day by her side, was not beside her.
That was odd...
Qiao Sang closed her eyes and tried to sense its presence.
