Chapter 1356 Pet Shop (It’s so hot that the cat is dried out in the sun)

Following the owner's instructions, Duanmu Huai found this pet shop in Chinatown.

“This place doesn’t look like much.”

Duanmu Huai frowned as he looked at the pet shop in front of him. Unlike other pet shops, this one was located underground in Chinatown, and the door was closed, making it look like an underground warehouse.

  What kind of pets can there be in a place like this?

Could it be some shady shop?

Forget it, let’s go in and take a look first.

Duanmu Huai was not afraid of any gangs or black shops, so he pushed the door open and walked in. Sha Jiuye also followed Duanmu Huai curiously and walked into the pet shop.

It has to be said that Duanmu Huai regretted his decision the moment he walked into this shabby shop.

  This doesn't look like a pet shop at all!

The whole store was pitch black, and there was some incense burning from nowhere. Although there were a few bird cages, and you could hear the squeaking of animals coming from inside, this place didn't look like a pet store at all! Where were all the animals?

“I don’t think this place is that good.”

Duanmu Huai looked around and frowned.

"Forget it, let's go."

Just when Duanmu Huai was about to take Sha Jiuye away, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Welcome, two guests."

Along with the voice, the curtain beside was lifted, and then Duanmu Huai and Sha Jiuye saw a man walking out. He was wearing a cheongsam, and looked neither male nor female, but he looked like a human being. When he saw Duanmu Huai and Sha Jiuye, he was not startled like the pet shop owners before, but smiled.

"Welcome to Count D's pet shop. What can I do for you?"

"Are you a count?"

After hearing the other party's self-introduction, Duanmu Huai looked him up and down unhappily. Although there were many screens and paper doors and other ethnic furniture here before, Duanmu Huai still subconsciously thought that the other party should be a blond and blue-eyed foreigner. After all, it is not surprising that Westerners like this mysterious oriental style, but a person with black hair and yellow skin is different.

  How many years has it been since the Qing Dynasty fell? How come there is still a count? Where did he come from? The Zhenghuang Banner?

"Actually, I'm just the acting store manager. The title of earl only applies to my grandfather."

The man didn't seem to care and gave an explanation with a smile.

"Oh, that's okay. We came here just to buy a pet... This is a pet store, right?"

"Of course, we have all kinds of pets from all over the world here. No matter how rare the species is, we can provide it for you as long as you are willing. What kind of pet do you need?"

"What kind of pet do I need?"

It must be said that Duanmu Huai was really stunned when he heard the man's question. He had been thinking about buying a cat or a dog at first, but later he was irritated by those damn pet shop owners, so Duanmu Huai also got into trouble and insisted on buying a pet.

  But what to buy?

Buy a cat? Buy a dog?

Although it was a common operation, at this point, Duanmu Huai felt it was a bit too ordinary.

But if you suggest buying reptiles like snakes or lizards, Sha Jiuye will definitely object, and Duanmu Huai himself doesn't like them very much either.

What about parrots? Duanmu Huai felt that he had no interest in raising such animals.

  So what else?

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai found that he really couldn't think of what kind of pet to buy for the time being.

So I made this trip in vain?

Just when Duanmu Huai was feeling messy in the wind, Sha Jiuye came to his rescue.

"Excuse me, store manager, do you have any pet recommendations?"

"Recommended?"

Hearing Sha Jiuye's question, this guy who couldn't tell whether he was a man or a woman thought for a moment, then revealed a weird smile.

"Ah, in that case, there is a pet that would be perfect for you two. Please follow me."

As he spoke, the store manager turned and walked inside, and Duanmu Huai and Sha Jiuye followed the store manager into the corridor deep inside the pet shop.

The corridor was deep and long, with countless doors on the side, which made people feel a little uneasy. Duanmu Huai and Sha Jiuye were experienced people, so they were not very nervous. The store manager led them to a big door and pushed it open.

"Please come in."

"So what pet did you recommend?"

Duanmu Huai stuck his head in and looked around, while the store manager walked forward and lit a candle.

"Please look."

Under the candlelight, Duanmu Huai and Sha Jiuye saw a majestic bird of prey like an eagle standing on a shelf, staring at them without blinking. That huge body and sharp claws - well, it can be used to shoot The Return of the Condor Heroes.

"This is a bird of prey from the plateau. It is ferocious and intelligent by nature. I think it is very suitable for this guest."

"Um……………"

A bird of prey, that’s not impossible.

"That's it? Will it recognize its master?"

"of course."

The store manager nodded slightly, then took out a piece of paper and handed it over. Duanmu Huai took the paper and glanced at it. "What is this?"

"This is the contract, which contains three points of attention. First, it must be fed fresh meat every day. Second, it must not be restrained. Third, its sleep time must not be disturbed. If the above agreement is violated and anything happens, our store will not bear any responsibility..."

"Aha?"

After listening to the manager, Duanmu Huai threw the paper and pen in his hand aside.

"So troublesome? Then I don't want it."

Although this bird of prey does look cool, Duanmu Huai doesn't have the patience to keep it as a pet. Moreover, there are so many conditions. He has to feed it fresh meat every day, and he can't restrain it or even disturb its rest. Is he keeping a pet? Or is he keeping a master?

  To Duanmu Huai, pets are just like the cats and dogs in the village. I'll leave you a portion of my food, and it's good enough if I leave you a bone after I finish eating the meat. Even so, those dogs eat deliciously and have no problem guarding the house. Unlike this bird, it has such high requirements and must eat fresh meat every day? What's the matter? You don't want to eat frozen meat, right?

I only eat frozen chicken legs, why do I buy you fresh meat? You eat better than me?

So am I raising a pet or a master?

No! You can't spoil me!

So Duanmu Huai threw it away decisively.

"Well……………"

Seeing Duanmu Huai rudely reject the deal, Sha Jiuye was a little embarrassed. She knew her brother's impatient temper and guessed why he didn't want to keep this majestic bird. But rejecting it directly in front of the store manager was a bit too much.

However, the store manager was able to keep his composure and did not get angry. Instead, he continued to stare at Duanmu Huai with a smile on his face.

"So, what do you want, sir?"

"Um……………"

Duanmu Huai thought about it, then his eyes lit up and he looked at the store manager again.

"You just said that you can get any kind of animal in your store?"

"of course."

"Well...I want a red panda. Can you get it for me?"

That’s right, Duanmu Huai has made a decision now. He plans to buy a little panda!

  Oh, it’s not the giant panda cub, but the red panda with the furry tail that is always confused for a raccoon by humans!

Although Duanmu Huai looks big and strong, he has a pink girlish heart inside. Red pandas are such cute animals, so Duanmu Huai naturally loves them the most!

Of course, giant pandas are also very cute, but they grow up after all, and they eat bamboo, so Duanmu Huai can't find bamboo for them. On the other hand, red pandas are much easier to raise. Duanmu Huai remembers that when he saw them in the zoo, they ate fruit and were very gentle. Anyone could touch them. Their furry bodies and furry tails were so cute no matter how you looked at them!

But in our own world, they are protected animals after all. People can just touch them in the zoo, but it is impossible to take them home.

But in this world... since you said you have all kinds of animals here, then it's no problem for you to give me a red panda.

"Red panda?"

"That's right. Not the fat black and white kid. The furry little one with a big tail."

Duanmu Huai gestured, he believed that the other party should understand what he meant.

  As for whether he could tame the red panda after it came—Hey, what was this [Animal Taming] point for? Just for show?

"Do you have any solution? I want all the formalities, nothing troublesome."

"of course can."

In response to Duanmu Huai's question, the store manager was silent for a moment, then smiled again and nodded at Duanmu Huai.

"Please give me a few days, I will definitely satisfy you, my guest. Of course, you need to pay a deposit before that..."

"No problem, but you'd better not play tricks, otherwise I will definitely smash your crappy store."

Duanmu Huai has plenty of money now, so he doesn't care about spending, but he doesn't like being taken advantage of. Not to mention this guy who can't tell whether he is a man or a woman. He doesn't know how troublesome it is to get a panda in this world, but Duanmu Huai doesn't like getting himself into trouble. If he had a pet, he would definitely not hide it at home like some rich people do, but take it out.

To be honest, if large cats like tigers and lions weren't too troublesome, Duanmu Huai wouldn't have much interest in them. He would just follow the example of the princes in the Middle East and walk on the street with a lion.

But the red panda... hehehe, it's small and soft... hehehe...

Duanmu Huai almost laughed like a pervert.

Since the conditions had been reached, Duanmu Huai was too lazy to stay any longer. He paid the deposit and then left the pet shop with Sha Jiuye. After leaving, Sha Jiuye looked at Duanmu Huai curiously and asked.

"Brother, is that little panda really that good?"

Sha Jiuye also thought it was a panda at first, but when Duanmu Huai said that the tail was furry, she was a little surprised. After all, a panda's tail—those who know will know.

  So what exactly is this red panda?

Moreover, Sha Jiuye saw Duanmu Huai drooling, this expression is rare.

"Hey hey hey."

Hearing Sha Jiuye's question, Duanmu Huai just chuckled.

"You'll know then."
