After buying the diamonds, Qiao Sang browsed the other stalls, with Little Steel Falcon flying at the front.

Although minerals were most effective when eaten in their hardest form, Pet Beasts had their own tastes. As for what it liked, she had to let Little Steel Falcon choose for itself.

After wandering around for nearly an hour, Qiao Sang had bought quite a few minerals, all of which Little Treasure stored in its Ring.

Judging by the amount, it should be enough for Little Steel Falcon to eat for a month.

Of course, that was assuming it did not evolve.

Qiao Sang still did not know how much an evolved Little Steel Falcon would eat.

"Gang Gang."

Once they had browsed enough, Little Steel Falcon called out, indicating that it was enough.

"Alright, then let's head back." Qiao Sang headed toward the elevator.

At that moment, the Black shop owner who had been standing outside one of the stores for quite a while finally could not help shouting, "Miss, come take a look at my shop! I've got every kind of mineral here!"

He had been watching for a long time. The girl before him had made a full round of the market and bought minerals from nearly every store. Though she was not buying in bulk, all the minerals she bought were rare, and she spent generously.

She had finally reached his shop, only to leave. How could he stand for that?

Qiao Sang glanced at him and continued toward the elevator.

The owner panicked. "I have Violet Pool Crystal!"

Violet Pool Crystal? What even is that...? Qiao Sang's expression did not change. Aside from the few minerals she was familiar with, she barely recognized any of the rest. She was practically a complete novice in this field.

"Gang Gang..."

Little Steel Falcon looked thoughtful and flapped its wings toward the shop.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang did not think much of it and followed directly behind.

The owner's face lit up. He immediately went inside, took out a square black box, and opened it.

"Take a look. This piece of Violet Pool Crystal barely has any impurities. Wearing it allows you to absorb toxins very effectively, so even if you run into a Poison Type Pet Beast, there's no need to panic."

As he spoke, he handed over the Violet Pool Crystal.

"Look at its shape and color. It's gorgeous. Whether you make it into a necklace or earrings, it'll definitely look great."

So it absorbs toxins... Qiao Sang took it and passed it to Little Steel Falcon. "Do you like it?"

Little Steel Falcon glanced at the Violet Pool Crystal before subtly sweeping its gaze over the surrounding minerals. At last, its eyes settled on an inconspicuous green mineral on a wooden shelf in the corner by the wall.

"Gang Gang."

Little Steel Falcon withdrew its gaze and nodded, indicating that it liked it.

"How much?" Qiao Sang asked.

"Eighty thousand." The owner's eyes brightened. After naming the price, he worried that the girl might not buy it and hurriedly added, "This stuff is rare and hard to find. If you don't believe me, go ask around. There probably aren't more than a few shops in the entire market that have Violet Pool Crystal."

Whether it's hard to find or not, it'll end up being food anyway... Qiao Sang asked, "Can I pay by credit card?"

Five minutes later, Qiao Sang walked out of the shop carrying the packaged Violet Pool Crystal.

"Come again next time!" the shop owner called out warmly, waving.

He did not notice that the inconspicuous green mineral on the wooden shelf in the corner suddenly opened a pair of black eyes. It stood upright, grew two short legs, and jumped down from the shelf. Then its entire body turned translucent white as it tiptoed out of the shop along the wall.

In the elevator, Qiao Sang looked at Little Steel Falcon. "What were you looking at just now?"

"Gang Gang."

Little Steel Falcon looked surprised. It had not expected her to notice.

Qiao Sang smiled. "I'm your Beast Tamer now. How could I not know what you're doing?"

"Gang Gang."

"Gang Gang."

Little Steel Falcon did not hide anything. It pointed at the bag holding the Violet Pool Crystal with its wing and began explaining.

After listening, Qiao Sang froze for a moment. "You're saying a Pet Beast called Chan Chan Stone will follow us later?"

"Gang Gang."

Little Steel Falcon nodded.

"It's after the Violet Pool Crystal?" Qiao Sang asked.

"Gang Gang."

Little Steel Falcon nodded.

"You bought the Violet Pool Crystal for Chan Chan Stone?" Qiao Sang looked utterly confused.

"Gang Gang."

Little Steel Falcon nodded again.

"Why?" Qiao Sang asked doubtfully.

"Gang Gang."

Little Steel Falcon waved its wings. Because it could eat it.

Qiao Sang: "!!!"

Ya Bao: "!!!"

Little Treasure: "!!!"

Three faces filled with shock!

"You eat Pet Beasts too?!" Qiao Sang's pupils shrank, and her voice nearly cracked.

"Gang Gang..."

Little Steel Falcon looked speechless. It pointed toward Qiao Sang's pocket, indicating that she could take out her phone and look up Chan Chan Stone.

The elevator doors opened just then.

As Qiao Sang walked out, she took out her phone and searched for "Chan Chan Stone."

Little Treasure curiously leaned its head over.

The search results quickly appeared:

Chan Chan Stone, a Rock Type low-level Pet Beast. Uncommon. It makes its nest in caves on cliffs and precipices, and usually disguises itself as a mineral to hide. It grows by eating rocks. The rocks it eats form crystals, which it then excretes in special forms, such as tears, sweat, and feces.

So it didn't eat Chan Chan Stone itself, but the crystals it excreted... Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief. Turning her head, she happened to see Little Treasure staring intently at the phone.

"You can read now?" Qiao Sang asked.

"Xun Xun..." Little Treasure shook its head.

Then why are you staring so seriously...? Qiao Sang could not help complaining inwardly. Then she thought of something and looked at Little Steel Falcon. "Did you see Chan Chan Stone there just now?"

"Gang Gang."

Little Steel Falcon nodded.

Qiao Sang asked again, "How did you know it would definitely follow us for the Violet Pool Crystal?"

"Gang Gang."

"Gang Gang."

Little Steel Falcon patiently explained that it had known several Chan Chan Stones before, and they had all liked staying beside Violet Pool Crystal.

I see... Qiao Sang felt that she had learned something new again.

Humans and Wild Pet Beasts lived together on Superstar Planet. Some people secretly kept Wild Pet Beasts for certain purposes. If Little Steel Falcon liked the crystals produced by Chan Chan Stone, she could try to make an agreement with it and see what it needed... As Qiao Sang thought this, she could not help slowing down.

When they reached the street and it was time to call a car, Qiao Sang could not help looking around. Why hasn't it caught up yet?

Seeing its Beast Tamer's actions, Ya Bao looked around as well.

Five minutes later.

"Fang Fang?"

Ya Bao looked confused. Were they not leaving?

"I'm waiting for a Pet Beast," Qiao Sang said.

"Fang Fang?" Hearing that, Ya Bao pointed at an inconspicuous black stone beneath the grass two meters away, indicating that it was that one.

Qiao Sang looked in that direction.

No way, this thing is a Pet Beast?

She walked over, crouched down, and stared at the inconspicuous black stone for several seconds.

"Is this a Pet Beast?"

"Fang Fang!"

Ya Bao nodded with certainty. This guy had been following them for a long time!

The moment it finished speaking, numerous translucent crystals suddenly emerged from the surface of the inconspicuous black stone, as though it were sweating.

Qiao Sang: "."

It really was a Pet Beast.
