Unserious Beast Tamer

"I said, Lao Zhou, do you really not consider shielding the induction?"

Tang Mu looked helplessly at Zhou Yong, who had his hands clenched tightly against his thighs, his face flushed extremely red, and his expression full of forbearance.

As time went by, he already knew the reason why Zhou Yong behaved so abnormally.

"No…"

Zhou Yong gritted his teeth and squeezed out a trembling voice from between his teeth.

Feeling the experience of pet animal care is what he does every time he cares for it, and this time will be no exception!

Isn’t it just that the cleaning power is too comfortable?

come!

"You also said that I am stubborn, but I don't think you are much better than me." Tang Mu shook his head helplessly and turned his head to the other side, not looking at Zhou Yong's current predicament.

It hurts the eyes.

After a while, Zhou Yongqing, whose expression was extremely forbearing, breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense body quickly relaxed, "It's finally over."

"Is it over?" Tang Mu looked in the direction of the bathroom with curiosity.

He was originally quite curious about the effects of the high-priced care at Xinghuo Nursing Home. Seeing Zhou Yong's weird reaction, he became even more curious about the final result of the care.

Equally curious is Zhou Yong, who was wronged by his boss.

Sharing his senses with the Flame Refining Monkey, he could see the Flame Refining Monkey's perspective, but he did not have a God's perspective and could not see what the Flame Refining Monkey was like.

This was the first time that he was so embarrassed during the process of cleaning a pet animal. Now that the cleaning was over, he was naturally very curious about the results of the cleaning.

Under the curious and expectant gazes of the two people, the door of the bathroom slowly opened, and Xu Ran walked out quickly, followed by a ball of flames burning into the sky.

That was the Flame Refining Monkey who had just completed the cleaning process.

At this moment, the flames surrounding the Flame Monkey were extremely blazing, as if they could burn everything. The outline of the body that could be vaguely seen in the flames was smooth and powerful, and the ferocious and powerful aura was transmitted without reservation.

Compared with before the cleaning and protection, the Flame Refining Monkey at this moment seemed to have completed an evolution and had undergone completely different changes.

Such a strong front-to-back contrast and extreme visual impact made Zhou Yong and Tang Mu stand up immediately and rush out of the waiting area.

"Hahaha, okay!" Zhou Yong had ecstasy on his face. Seeing the appearance of the Flame Monkey at this moment, he had already realized how powerful Xu Ran's care was.

At this moment, he even had the idea that the punishment he just suffered was worth it.

Tang Mu also walked around the Flame Refining Monkey a few times, constantly looking at it and marveling at it.

He was a little moved by such a good cleaning service.

Unfortunately, his pet beast had just been cared for a few days ago, and there was no need for care at the moment.

You can only choose Xinghuo Nursing Store next time you need care.

"As long as Mr. Zhou is satisfied." Xu Ran smiled slightly, "Are there any pets that need to be cared for?"

"Uh, um..." Upon hearing Xu Ran's question, Zhou Yong's smile froze on his face, and he coughed awkwardly, "Tomorrow, come back tomorrow."

Today was so exciting that he was already a little exhausted.

If he were to care for a second pet right after, he would really lose his temper on the spot.

Let's take a breath before talking.

Tang Mu on the side looked strange and held his forehead helplessly.

Being an old friend of Zhou Yong, he immediately guessed the reason why Zhou Yong continued to care for other pet beasts.

This guy... is really stubborn.

Things that can obviously be solved by shielding the induction...

"Okay, no problem." Xu Ran, who was unaware of everything outside the bathroom, smiled slightly and didn't care.

"Then that's it for today." Zhou Yong paid for the care of the Flame Monkey without hesitation, glanced at Xu Ran, and then looked away as if he was electrocuted.

I don't know why, but when he saw this guy, he instantly recalled the feelings he had just had.

"Old Tang, let's retreat." He pulled Tang Mu and quickly left the Xinghuo Nursing Home.

"You two, go slowly." Xu Ran smiled and watched the first batch of customers leave the new store, and then stretched.

Hidden in the darkness, the twelve wings fluttered and landed on Xu Ran's shoulders, with sea-blue eyes full of smiles.

"Chirp~" (The beast master who made the Flame Monkey turned on the sharing of perception during the whole process of cleaning and care~)

"Huh?!" Xu Ran blinked, showing an unexpected look.

Because of his special washing and care methods, most of the pets that come to Xinghuo Nursing Home for care will make strange noises.

When guests who are beast masters above the general level arrive, they will basically block the sharing of senses during the cleaning process to avoid the embarrassing situation of losing their temper.

How could a beastmaster be so stubborn? Is the contract sensor on the whole time? !

"I remember there seems to be surveillance in the store..." Xu Ran patted his forehead, suddenly remembered something, and walked behind the counter to operate.

Soon, the scene after he entered the nursing room appeared in front of him.

Xu Ran's expression gradually became more exciting as he watched Zhou Yong's posture gradually become weird as he followed the rhythm of his washing.

This is really... tough.

Xuanxing City, Pingtian foster care shop.

Recognized as the number one foster care shop in Xuanxing City, this foster care shop has a large number of customers coming and going every day.

Every day, new foster residents are sent to the foster care area of ​​Pingtian Foster Care Store, and residents who have ended their foster care period leave here.

Because the business is so booming, Pingtian Nursing Home even needs to adopt an appointment system to stabilize the number of residents in the foster care area through reasonable appointment allocation.

Today, something happened in Pingtian Nursing Home that would not have happened in the past.

"Boss!" The employee in charge of foster care reservations approached Tan Shao, the owner of the Pingtian foster care shop, with a rather ugly expression. "A customer who made an appointment to foster a pet animal today has missed the appointment."

"Broken appointment?" Tan Shao frowned slightly and looked at the employee, "Have you called to confirm?"

"It's confirmed." The employee nodded, "And the reason for not keeping the appointment is that the other party chose to foster care in another foster care shop."

"This is a censorship..." Tan Shao's brows furrowed even more.

No-show after making an appointment, this happens occasionally.

The client may have changed his mind about foster care due to some other factors, which is also within reasonable limits.

However, it is extremely rare for Pingtian Nursing Home to miss an appointment because it chooses another nursing home.

After all, here is the best foster care service in the entire Xuanxing City.

What's even more commendable is that Pingtian Nursing Home has not raised its prices because of better service quality. Its prices are basically the same as those of other nursing homes.

Under such circumstances, one can imagine the competitiveness of Pingtian foster care stores.

It's not unusual to be able to snatch customers away from it.

"Did you ask the other party which foster care shop he chose?" He quickly turned his head and looked at the employee, "Was it Fengyun or Xingyu?"

They are the three most famous foster care shops in Xuanxing City.

Each of the three foster care shops has its own advantages and disadvantages. Pingtian is the best at foster care, Fengyun is the first in care, and Xingyu has the best sparring service.

In Tan Shao's view, these are the only two companies that can steal his own business.

Although they are not as good as their own Pingtian foster care shop in terms of foster care, if they are bundled with other services, it is entirely possible to intercept their customers.

"I asked." The employee nodded quickly, "It's a foster care shop called Xinghuo Foster Care Store. It is said that it has just opened."

"Ha!" Tan Shao laughed angrily, "What did you just say? A newly opened foster care shop?"

The newly opened foster care shop dares to steal its own customers?

A bit of anger rose in his eyes.

Except for Fengyun Nursing Shop and Xingyu Nursing Shop, he didn't pay attention to the other nursing shops in Xuanxing City at all, let alone this one was a new one.

In Tan Shao's view, this is tantamount to a powerful lion being provoked by a rabbit.

"Teach him a lesson and let him know the rules of opening a foster care shop." Tan Shao hummed and waved his hand.

"Understood!" The employee nodded quickly, turned and left.

He already knew what to do.

——

Xuanxing City Beast Masters Association.

Vice President Qin was sitting in his office, drinking tea and reading the day's newspaper in his hand.

When the tea was finished, the newspaper turned to the last page.

"Calculate the time, it should be almost there." He put down the newspaper, looked at the time, and murmured softly.

Then, Vice Chairman Qin took out his mobile phone and shared a video with a small group.

[Qin Huaiyu: I saw something interesting, which is the strength test record of the Starlight Badge yesterday. 【video】】

After sending the video, he put down the phone and his eyes flashed slightly.

There are only six people in this small group, but these six people are the six most powerful people in Xuanxing City.

The president and five vice-presidents of the association.

The president, Qi Yuan, coordinates the overall situation, and the five vice-presidents each perform their duties and manage the order of the entire Xuanxing City.

I believe that the president will have a corresponding reaction when he sees the video.

At that time, you can start subsequent operations.

Thinking of this, Qin Huaiyu looked at one of the group members, his eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but hum.

Among the five vice presidents, Zhou Changhe is the highest in terms of strength and authority.

When President Qi Yuan retires, he will be the most likely successor to the position of president.

Probably for this reason, Zhou Changhe seemed to be somewhat bossy towards the other four vice-presidents, and his relatives and cronies also pulled the tiger's skin and turned the association into a mess.

Qin Huaiyu had disliked Zhou Changhe for a long time, but he knew that he could not defeat him, so he could only act cautiously.

This was also the reason why he couldn't give Liu Fengyun a definite answer yesterday.

He couldn't have a direct conflict with Zhou Changhe because of this matter.

Even if help was needed, it could only be done without Zhou Changhe being aware of it.

In order to avoid suspicion, Qin Huaiyu deliberately postponed it for one day, and waited until today to pretend that he had just discovered it and shared the video with the group.

In this way, no matter how suspicious Zhou Changhe is, it is impossible to deduce anything from a video that seems to have nothing to do with Liu Fengyun.

And the situation was just as he expected.

Shortly after he shared the video, there was new news in the small group.

[Zhou Changhe: This newly promoted king-level beast master is very unfamiliar. He should be from out of town. There are not many beast masters who master martial arts. Guild Master, come and see @Qi Yuan. 】

Seeing this news, Qin Huaiyu had a strange smile on his lips.

Attracted by the commotion in the small group, the other three vice-presidents also expressed their opinions after watching the video.

Finally, Qi Yuan bubbled.

[Qi Yuan: It looks interesting. Can you contact this person? I want to communicate with him about martial arts. 】

Done!

Qin Huaiyu was secretly happy and quickly sent a message.

[Qin Huaiyu: I am responsible for the assessment of the Starlight Badge. I have the information about this beast master. Let me handle this matter. 】

The other four vice-presidents did not rush for work at this time.

After all, the awarding of Starlight Badges has always been Qin Huaiyu's responsibility.

It makes sense for Qin Huaiyu to do this.

The small group soon fell into silence again, Qin Huaiyu hummed a joke and walked out of the office quickly.

"The fish is about to take the bait~"

——

"Ha~"

Xu Ran yawned and held his chin up as he looked at the crowds of people coming and going outside the store.

As the time approaches noon, the street in front of the store becomes lively.

As a newly opened store, Xinghuo Nursing Store has welcomed many curious passers-by, but these passers-by have not been converted into customers.

After seeing the price, they turned around and left without hesitation.

A few hours after the opening, there was no business except for the first two customers.

"Chirp~" (Was it so difficult to open other branches before?)

Twelve pairs of claws grabbed the protruding branch decoration next to the counter and asked.

"Meow~" (It's not bad to have two guests in the morning.)

Ziyun lay lazily on the counter, without raising his head, and just shook his tail, which was larger than his body.

"Yes, everything is difficult at the beginning." Xu Ran smiled, "New stores with no reputation are all the same at the beginning."

“As the store’s popularity increases, there will be more and more customers.”

"Chirp~" (Is this so...)

Twelve nodded thoughtfully, and then noticed something. He looked outside the store door with a little more expectation in his eyes.

"Chirp!" (A new guest has arrived!)

As Twelve finished speaking, four figures quickly walked into the store.

Xu Ran raised his head and his eyes flashed slightly.

These four people are all strong and strong, with a somewhat fierce aura. They look quite difficult to provoke, and they should not be weak in strength.

more importantly…

Xu Ran felt a hint of hostility from these four people.

But even so, he still stood up and greeted with a smile, "Four guests, what service do you need?"

"What services does your store provide?" the man in charge asked in a deep voice.

"The price tag is behind you." Xu Ran raised a hand to signal.

The four of them turned to look at the price tag, and then looked at each other.

Immediately afterwards, the man standing on the left snorted, stepped forward with an unkind expression, and slapped the counter with his hand, "Your price is two or three times more expensive than outside. It is clearly blackmail!"

Looking at the other party, the smile on Xu Ran's face gradually faded.

It seems that the person who came here is really ill-intentioned.

"All the services in our store are worth the money." He said calmly, "If the four of you are here to cause trouble, please get out."

"Get out?" The other man chuckled, "I think you were exposed and became angry, right?"

He strode to the door of the store and shouted loudly as he walked, "Today, I want everyone to take a good look at you, the guy who runs a shady store!"

"Everyone, come and see, this store is a black store! Their prices are two or three times more expensive than other stores. It's a steal!"

This man had the loudest voice among the four, and his loud shout instantly caused a large number of pedestrians passing by to stop.

They looked at the Spark Nursing Home and couldn't help but whisper.

A trace of anger flashed in Xu Ran's eyes.

He has already seen that the four people in front of him did it on purpose.

After two days in Xuanxing City, he couldn't remember anyone he had offended.

In this case...then don't blame him for being rude.

Looking at Ziyun, whose strength was gradually becoming restless, Xu Ran nodded slightly.

With Xu Ran's permission, Ziyun's sharp claws popped out of its palms in an instant, and its strange-colored eyes stared at the four people indifferently, as if staring at a dead person.

Just when Ziyun was about to take action, a deep shout came.

"What are you doing?"

The crowd made a way, and Qin Huaiyu walked step by step to the door of Xinghuo Nursing Home, calmly staring at the man who had just shouted.

Seeing Qin Huaiyu, the man's eyes widened suddenly, as if being choked by an invisible force, and his voice stopped abruptly.

"Qin...Vice President Qin?!" The leading man looked at him in astonishment, with a look of confusion on his face.

They were just asked to come to this newly opened foster care shop to cause trouble, and it was best to ruin its reputation.

How could such a trivial matter attract such a giant Buddha? !

Inside the store, Xu Ran's eyes were also filled with astonishment.

Obviously, he did not expect Qin Huaiyu to appear at this time.

But thinking about what happened yesterday, he quickly guessed the other party's intention.

After giving Ziyun a wink, indicating that there was no need to take action, Xu Ran stood silently, preparing to watch a good show.

"Repeat what you just said." Qin Huaiyu stared at the man who shouted just now and spoke slowly.

The man struggled with his expression, but he broke out in cold sweat under the pressure of Qin Huaiyu's eyes, and finally stammered and repeated the words he had just shouted.

After listening patiently, Qin Huaiyu asked again, "Have you received service in this store?"

The man shook his head.

"Did you pay?"

The man shook his head again.

"Calling a store a black shop without any evidence is blackmail." Qin Huaiyu looked at the man and his tone became stern, "Your behavior has disrupted public order and is suspected of defamation."

"I, I am willing to apologize!" The man was startled and spoke quickly.

He immediately turned his head to look at Xu Ran and slapped himself hard, "Brother, you have a lot of trouble. It's all my fault. I'm talking nonsense."

Although the other three people did not shout loudly, they were breaking out in cold sweat under Qin Huaiyu's pressure and apologized quickly.

Xu Ran shook his head slightly, too lazy to argue with such a person, "Go away, you four have been banned from this store."

The four of them left in a hurry as if they had been granted amnesty.

Qin Huaiyu shook his head slightly, and then walked into the Xinghuo Nursing Store.

"Thank you Vice President Qin for helping me with what happened just now." Xu Ran said with a smile.

"Just don't blame me for being nosy." Qin Huaiyu was speechless.

He knew that Xu Ran was a king-level beast master, and it was easy to deal with four gangsters. The attack just now was said to be to help Xu Ran, but in fact it was to save the lives of the four guys.

According to the rules of Xuanxing City, these four people took the initiative to provoke the high-level beast masters. In this case, Xu Ran did not have to bear any responsibility for killing them.

"Of course not." Xu Ran shook his head and changed the subject, "Vice President Qin, come here. Has President Qi responded?"

"Yes." Qin Huaiyu nodded, his expression a little more serious, "President Qi wants to meet you and exchange martial arts with you."

"when are you free?"

"Just now." Xu Ran glanced at the time.

At this moment, it is very close to the lunch break.

There wasn’t much business on the first day anyway, so it wasn’t a problem to go to bed early.

After neatly tidying up the store, taking the five little ones with them, and carrying the remaining knives on their backs, Xu Ran and Qin Huaiyu set off quickly.

Not long after, the two arrived at the top of the Beast Masters Association.

As soon as he entered, Xu Ran had a look of astonishment on his face.

He saw the walls and floors made of high-strength alloy, and saw various cold weapons placed on rows of weapon racks.

Walking along the weapon rack, Xu Ran saw a muscular figure sitting cross-legged on the ground, seemingly meditating.

"President Qi, people have brought it."

Qin Huaiyu spoke slowly, then gave Xu Ran a look, reminding Xu Ran not to forget what he wanted to say after meeting President Qi, and then turned and left.

As Qin Huaiyu closed the door of the practice room, only Xu Ran and Qi Yuan were left in the room.

"Are you good with a knife?"

Qi Yuan slowly stood up and turned his head to look at Xu Ran.

It was a middle-aged man with starry eyebrows and sharp eyes, and there was a fierce aura in his angular face.

"Yes." Xu Ran nodded.

Qi Yuan's eyes fell on the long sword Xu Ran carried on his back, "This sword is a bit unusual. It has the residual power of a strong man."

Then, Qi Yuan's eyes moved away from the long knife and fell on Ziyun.

"Emperor race?" The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, with a strange smile on his face. "This is the first time I have seen a talented young man like you."

"Thank you for the compliment, senior." Xu Ran smiled.

"Enough chatting." Qi Yuan quickly got to the point. He slowly pulled out a long knife from the weapon rack, "I will use the same strength as you. How about we compete with me?"

"Okay." Xu Ran nodded slightly, confidently.

He met very few beast masters who were good at martial arts, and it was difficult to communicate with them.

This is also an opportunity for him.

As the power of the contract increased, Xu Ran's own strength gradually caught up with the pet beast, and he became more and more aware of the effect of mastering a martial arts on improving his strength.

Although he has mastered a very powerful sword, Xu Ran only has that one sword, which is obviously not enough.

If he could learn something else, such as a complete set of knife skills, it would be of great help to him.

Taking off the long knife from his back, Xu Ran slowly unwrapped the cloth, revealing the rusty blade.

As if feeling the atmosphere in the field, the long knife trembled on its own, making a slight sound of knife, and a hint of knife intent was revealed.

Qi Yuan's pupils shrank slightly as he held the long knife tightly.

It seemed that the original owner of this sword was more powerful than he imagined.

"Be careful." Putting away his thoughts, Qi Yuan shouted and took the lead.

His sword was powerful and heavy, and in an instant it had arrived in front of Xu Ran, slashing straight from top to bottom, as if to split Xu Ran in two.

Xu Ran's expression instantly became solemn, and his reaction was also not slow. The long knife carrying the force of the knife was immediately placed across his chest, blocking the blow.

"clang--"

As the two knives collided together, a clear sound of gold and iron interlaced echoed in the practice room.

The next moment, Xu Ran and Qi Yuan were shaken at the same time and took a few steps back.

However, the status of the two is obviously different.

The long knife in Xu Ran's hand trembled, and all the remaining forces of the previous confrontation were resolved without any damage.

Qi Yuan's arm was left with a faint trace of blood.

This was injured by Xu Ran's sword.

"Okay!" Although he was slightly at a disadvantage, Qi Yuan's interest increased, "What a powerful sword, come again!"

He drew his sword again, this time the shadow of the sword became light and erratic, and in an instant, several swords fell down, as fast as thunder.

Xu Ran's eyes narrowed, and he tried his best to fight with the knife, but his speed was still half a beat slower. He barely managed to block the vital part with the knife, and his whole body was slashed more than ten meters away.

"Deng Deng Deng~"

After continuously pushing back to relieve his strength, Xu Ran stood firm, his eyes also showing a strange light.

This time, we came to the right place!

Although not as powerful as his own sword, Qi Yuan also masters the sword's power, and there is more than one.

The two attacks just now were obviously completely different styles.

And these are things you can learn!

"Come again!"

This time, it was Xu Ran's turn to become more motivated to fight.

"Good boy, come on!" Qi Yuan laughed and took action again.

In the practice room, the sound of gold and iron continued to echo, and after a long time, it stopped completely.

Xu Ran and Qi Yuan sat slumped on the ground, with happy expressions on their faces.

"Your sword is very powerful." Qi Yuan chuckled, "But with only this sword, it will be powerless to deal with different battle situations during battle."

"Yes." Xu Ran nodded in agreement with a helpless expression, "I only learned this one sword."

"It's for you." Qi Yuan raised his hand and took out a book from the bookshelf beside him, and threw it to Xu Ran.

Xu Ran took it and took a look. On the cover were written the words "Ben Lei Knife Technique".

He opened it casually and his eyes widened when he saw the content, "Senior, this is too precious, I can't accept it."

"Keep it." Qi Yuan waved his hand nonchalantly, "I spent a lot of effort to collect these. I originally wanted everyone to learn from them."

"It's just that there are too few beast masters who are interested in martial arts, so in the end they can only be left here to eat dust."

"These are the treasures left by our ancestors before extraordinary creatures appeared."

Speaking of this, Qi Yuan's face became a little more desolate.

"Only with level five contract power and above can martial arts be effective in actual combat. This alone restricts too many people."

"In Duanyuan City, because the overall strength is stronger, there are more people who pay attention to martial arts. In a place like ours... haha." Qi Yuan shook his head helplessly, "If I guessed correctly, your sword should be Duanyuan It was left behind by a strong man in the city.”

"Eh?" Xu Ran blinked.

He himself didn't know the origin of this knife.

But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that Qi Yuan's guess was very reasonable.

Looking at the rusty long knife in his hand, Xu Ran's heart moved.

The first time he touched this sword, he saw the owner of the long sword killing the creatures under the Thunder Mountain with one strike.

Now he already knows that the strength of that creature has reached the level of Beast Emperor.

Such beings were all killed with one sword. The owner of the long sword had obviously reached the level of the Holy Spirit, and at worst was an epic beast master.

If I go to Duanyuan City in the future, will I have a chance to see him?
