1156. Chapter 1151: Rumors of Zha Bingling (Two in One)
The police station was in chaos.
Thousands of pets practically filled the entire station.
Reporters, having heard the news, rushed in.
“Why are there so many pets suddenly here? Has something big happened?”
“I heard the pets here are all previously missing pets. Is that true?”
“Bingbing! Bingbing?”
“Can you tell us what happened? I just saw a prison bear. Is it the one that disappeared eight years ago?”
“Jingjing? Jingjing?”
The reporters were stopped outside the station by a swarm of police. They were so overwhelmed by the chaos that they had no energy to deal with the reporters.
Undeterred, the reporters pointed their microphones at the pets about to leave the station and questioned them.
Some of the pets answered with excitement or tears, and they actually got some information out of them.
Shock and bewilderment flashed across the reporters’ faces, then gradually transformed into excitement and excitement, realizing this was big news.
Many reporters even broadcast the news live.
That evening, the news of the reappearance of Wan Bingdao’s missing pets became a hot topic.
Inside the police station, each pet was questioned about its identity and contacted with its contracted beastmaster or its family.
Qiao Sang was seated in a soft chair, interacting with the pet families who squeezed in.
“Thank you so much! If it weren’t for you, I don’t think I would have ever seen Zhi Baohua again!” the gray-haired old man said with tears in his eyes.
“Zhi Zhi! Zhi Zhi!” Zhi Baohua, beside him, also shed tears.
“My benefactor!” A plump, middle-aged woman pushed the old man forward, excitedly grasping Qiao Sang’s hands. She said with gratitude,
“My little Huanxiang is truly indebted to you. You have no idea, but ever since I lost my Huanxiang, I’ve been unable to sleep or eat well. I’ve lost a lot of weight. If you need anything in the future, just come by…”
Before she could finish her words, a white bear-like pet, over two meters tall, squeezed her out and called out happily,
“Wenwen!”
“Wenwen!”
Then, it pulled out a bank card and handed it over.
Pets are truly trustworthy… Qiao Sang glanced at the bank card and instantly understood what the white bear-like pet meant.
Just as she was about to refuse, a police officer shoved his way over, separating the people and pets around her. He shouted,
“Those of you whose identities have been confirmed, please leave first. There are too many people and pets here. Don’t crowd in!”
With the police’s shooing, the number of people and pets around Qiao Sang dwindled significantly. However, a new group of people and pets would occasionally arrive from outside, quickly filling the police station.
“Xunxun~”
“Xunxun~”
Little Xunbao floated near the police station entrance, waving his paws as he bid farewell to the pets that had been chatting happily and were about to leave.
A police officer with white hair at his temples, who looked very experienced, approached Qiao Sang and said solemnly,
“Thanks to you! Otherwise, none of these missing pets would have been able to return safely.”
Ever since they learned that Qiao Sang had brought the pets from Zha Bingling’s place, the police had begun using respectful titles.
“Did you know it was Zha Bingling who did this?” Qiao Sang asked.
The policeman sighed and said, “I knew part of it, but I had no idea Zha Bingling had frozen so many pets.”
Qiao Sang remembered the B&B owner’s words and asked,
“Since you knew, why didn’t you send someone to rescue them?”
The policeman smiled bitterly and said,
“All the policemen in Wanbing Island combined are no match for Zha Bingling. Besides, requesting enough police force to deal with Emperor-level pets is not that easy. Unless that Emperor-level pet is truly vicious, the higher-ups will basically ignore it.”
Qiao Sang couldn’t help but wonder,
“Is Zha Bingling not considered extremely vicious?”
The policeman sighed and said,
“Zha Bingling is considered good. She basically doesn’t leave Wanbing Island. As long as she doesn’t see any pets she’s interested in, she won’t attack.”
He paused, then gestured to the various pets in the police station who were talking, and said,
“You can see that the pets frozen by Zha Bingling are actually still alive. For example, the urn urn jar disappeared 21 years ago, and now its vital signs are normal, and its appearance is completely unchanged from then.”
21 years ago… Qiao Sang’s eyes widened in astonishment. “Are all creatures frozen by the Zha Bing Ling immortal?”
The police officer replied,
“There’s no definitive proof, just speculation. A beastmaster was once frozen by the Zha Bing Ling and returned nearly 50 years later. He looked exactly the same as he did 50 years ago. He said he’d been frozen for too long, and the Zha Bing Ling had grown tired of him and was ready to replace him with a new batch of ice sculptures, so they threw him out.”
At least half of that was false… Qiao Sang muttered inwardly.
Having thawed so many pets, he knew they were completely unconscious when frozen. If Xiao Xunbao hadn’t explained it to them, they probably wouldn’t even know how they got out of the seabed.
The police officer continued,
“Later, some elderly or terminally ill pets and beastmasters heard the news and came specifically to ask Zha Bingling to freeze them, hoping to thaw them out after a few decades. Therefore, the number of tourists here increased dramatically during that period. However, Zha Bingling also has its own set of standards for freezing targets. It is not willing to freeze everyone. Later, the number of tourists here decreased, and as time passed, the news was forgotten.”
“During this period, only one piece of news circulated, saying that Zha Bingling froze a beastmaster who was nearly 200 years old. The beastmaster didn’t give birth until she was over 100 years old. Later, her health failed. Knowing that her time was running out, her only wish was to see her daughter get married.”
“But she didn’t want her daughter to find a partner just because she didn’t have time, so she found Zha Bingling and asked her to freeze her. I don’t know how they talked, but Zha Bingling met her request. Later, when her daughter got married, she appeared at the wedding. This news was quickly forgotten. We only found it when we were looking for Zha Bingling’s information some time ago.”
At this point, he sighed:
“If you hadn’t brought so many missing pets this time, I would have thought these two things were fake.”
The freezing effect of the emotional scumbag ice spirit can also make creatures enter a dormant state, and then revive after a few decades… Qiao Sang fell silent.
If that’s the case, it’s no wonder the higher-ups haven’t been sending humans or pets to deal with Zha Bingling. If Zha Bingling were willing to cooperate, it could potentially help many terminally ill people prolong their lives.
Just as he was thinking this, the police officer said with admiration,
“I didn’t expect that during my tenure, someone else would single-handedly break into Zha Bingling’s territory and rescue all the missing pets. I’m representing…”
Before he could finish, Qiao Sang interrupted,
“I wasn’t alone.”
The police officer paused. “Who else?”
Qiao Sang was also stunned, then remembered something he’d forgotten.
Holy shit! Teacher Mikala!
…
Meanwhile,
under the pitch-black night sky,
Mikala and Peng Jiamei hovered high in the sky, staring at the panting Zha Bingling below.
Suddenly, their phone vibrated.
Mikala pulled it out, saw the caller ID, and felt a sense of relief.
It looked like they had secured their prize…
“Let’s go,” Mikala said.
Peng Jiamei’s eyes immediately glowed blue, and she disappeared with her beastmaster.
Zha Bingling watched the people and pets disappear in the sky, heaved a sigh of relief, and turned to spread the cold air.
The ground in front of him was instantly covered with a layer of ice.
Zha Bingling moved his body and slid forward on the frozen ground.
…
above the sea.
Mikaela looked at the calmness below, then looked around, picked up the phone, and dialed back.
With just a “beep”, the call was connected.
“Hello, teacher, why did the phone suddenly lose signal just now?” Qiao Sang’s voice came from the speaker.
“I was teleporting just now.” Mikaela replied.
“I knew it,” Qiao Sang breathed a sigh of relief. “Why’s the signal gone?”
Mikaela asked,
“Where are you now?”
Qiao Sang apologized. “I forgot to tell you. I’m at the police station. When I messaged you, I thought I’d go straight back to the B&B. I didn’t expect the pets that had been transformed into ice sculptures were still alive after thawing, so I brought them to the police station first.”
Mikaela was silent for a few seconds, then asked,
“You messaged me?”
Huh? Qiao Sang was stunned. “Didn’t you see? I messaged you as soon as I got out of Bingnan Island.”
Mikaela asked, “When did you get out of Bingnan Island?”
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, “A few hours ago.”
Mikaela: “???”
The other end of the line went silent.
Qiao Sang called out “Hello,” several times, before Mikaela’s voice returned.
“Have you found all the Binghuan crystals?”
Qiao Sang said, “Hmm.” “I’ve got them all, but I don’t know if they have the grade we’re looking for.”
There were so many people and pets around, she didn’t want to go into too much detail.
Mikaela chuckled, “You guys are pretty quick.”
Qiao Sang sighed, “I didn’t expect the Little Treasure Hunt’s ring to expand to a diameter of about ten meters. Combined with telekinesis, it collected so much quickly.”
Her tone deepened with emotion.
“There are so many pets that have been transformed into ice sculptures. If the Little Treasure Hunt’s ring wasn’t so large, I don’t think they would fit. Lubao thawed the frozen pets, and it took a long time to heal them.”
Mikaela continued, “You retrieved the Ice Crystals and ice sculptures from the seabed, rescued the frozen pets, and even went to the police station. You’ve done a lot.”
There was a hint of sarcasm in her tone… Could it be that the teacher hadn’t seen the message and was still locked in a fight with Zha Bingling? Qiao Sang hesitated, thinking,
“You’re not fighting Zha Bingling until now?”
What do you think? Mikaela denied, “No.”
After a pause, she added, “I’ll meet you at the B&B.”
With that, she decisively hung up.
Mikaela picked up her phone, opened her chat app, and sure enough, saw the message from Qiao Sang.
It was three hours ago.
Three hours, three hours. She’d been fighting that scumbag Bingling for three hours straight… Mikaela let out a weary sigh and said,
“Let’s go back.”
“Pfft.”
…
The police station.
Why does Teacher Mikaela feel strange… Qiao Sang stood in a corner outside the police station, her phone down.
“Momo?”
Dragon King called out, asking where Mikaela was.
“Ya Ya,”
Ya Bao translated.
“She said she’d waited for us back at the B&B,” Qiao Sang said.
“Momo,”
Dragon King frowned and called out, indicating that she’d only just returned. Could she have been fighting that scumbag Bingling all this time?
Could it be that Mikaela had weakened in the decades since they’d been apart?
“Ya Ya,”
Ya Bao translated.
Just as Qiao Sang was about to say something, a young man with a Grim Frog scurried over.
In the light from inside the police station, she instantly recognized him as the owner of the B&B where she was currently staying.
The young man stopped in front of them and looked over, his pale face filled with excitement and awe. He said,
“Thank you so much! I didn’t expect you could actually rescue the Grim Frog.”
He glanced to the side and asked,
“Where’s the other senior?”
For someone who had rescued so many pets from Zha Bingling’s territory, calling him a senior was always right.
It seems Teacher Mikaela hasn’t returned to the B&B yet… Qiao Sang said, “She should be back by now.”
“That’s perfect, then let’s go back together,” the young man said immediately. “I’ll cook you our best dishes when I get back and Grim Frog and I.”
He seemed a little hungry… Qiao Sang nodded, “Okay.”
Then, looking at Little Xunbao, who was still saying goodbye to the pets at the door, he called out,
“Little Xunbao, let’s go back.”
“Xunxun…”
Little Xunbao waved his paw at the pet he was talking to and barked, letting it know that its beastmaster had sent it home and that they would see each other again someday. The
surrounding pets, with expressions of reluctance and a promise of “I’ll definitely see you again,” barked out one after another.
“Xunxun~”
Little Xunbao, sensing everyone’s reluctance to part with him, paused for a moment, his eyes curved, and he waved his paws.
Simultaneously, the golden rings on his body took on an even more metallic sheen.
…
B&B.
Suite.
Mikala and the Dragon King locked eyes.
The Dragon King suddenly snorted and turned away.
Mikala: “???”
Little Xunbao slipped into the magnifying ring and poured out the crystals one by one.
Soon, the floor of the room was almost completely covered.
Even though Mikala had been prepared, a hint of surprise remained. “So many?”
Qiao Sang smiled, “Little Xunbao cleared out the whole place.”
“Xunxun~”
Little Xunbao nodded proudly.
Mikala scanned the crystals and said, “Find all the Binghuan crystals. I’ll find a professional appraiser to examine them later.”
“Okay,” Qiao Sang said, and began sorting the crystals.
Mikala sat cross-legged on the floor, helping with the sorting.
Then she thought of something and said, “Although there are a lot of ice crystals here, don’t get your hopes up. SS-grade materials are rare and not easy to find.”
Qiao Sang was in a good mood and said, “It’s okay. Even if we don’t find it, we still have more than 20 days to keep looking.”
Even without the SS-grade Ice Crystal, with so many water and ice materials, it’s a win no matter how you look at it.
Thanks to the Fortune Gu boss for the reward! I wish him good health, all the best, and lots of money!
