Su Yanying felt a sense of familiarity when she saw the signboard of the "Pixie Pet Store." She was excited to see this mysterious store again. At the same time, she missed it.
After being away for three days, she couldn't wait to hug her little ones.
Even though …
Some of them were so huge that she could only look up at them.
But as far as she was concerned, those pets were her children. Some of the pets had been bought when they were young and she had raised them. Some of the pets grew up quickly. In three to five years, they would reach the prime of their lives. They would grow from a size where she could easily pick them up to a size where she could ride them.
"I wonder if the shop owner is taking good care of your pets."
Lan Lele was with Su Yanying. She was there to protect her and supervise her. After all, she had spent a lot of money last time. She couldn't be fooled by the shop owner.
Su Ping stopped cultivating after the two entered the store. "Wait here," he said with a straight face.
With that said, he went to the pet store in the back and woke up the three pets and the Lightning Rat.
"Come on out."
Su Ping told them to leave the nursing seal.
The pets felt Su Ping's unyielding will. They were reluctant to leave so they slowly came out from the nursing seal.
As soon as they left the nursing seal, they were connected to Su Yanying through the astral power contract. They could sense each other's presence.
"It's them." Su Yanying's eyes glowed with joy. She could tell that her pets were at the back of the store, only one wall away.
She stood on tiptoe, full of hope.
But after a few minutes, she saw the pets slowly walking out from the pet room. They were moving very slowly. Every now and then, they would stop and look back, as if there was something very attractive behind them and they were reluctant to leave.
Su Yanying was surprised.
Through the astral power contract, she could clearly feel the pets' strong reluctance to leave. They hadn't seen her for a few days but they weren't excited to see her. Instead, they were reluctant to leave.
Were they reluctant to leave?
"Let's go." Su Ping waved his hand impatiently.
The pets were intelligent. They looked at him with their big, watery eyes, imploring.
However, Su Ping was too lazy to look at them and urged them to walk faster.
The pets were sad. They returned to Su Yanying dejectedly. When they saw their master, they rubbed against her body symbolically and then lay on the ground unhappily.
Su Yanying could feel the frustration of her pets. She was surprised.
This was completely different from the meeting she had imagined.
Shouldn't he be running over in joy?
Shouldn't it be jumping around beside him?
Why was it so gloomy when it saw its master?
Su Yanying looked at the Lightning Rat by her feet. Last time, the Lightning Rat was thrilled to see her. But at the moment, the Lightning Rat was crestfallen and emotionless.
"Well …" Su Yanying didn't know what to say. She felt wronged and wanted to cry.
Su Ping sensed the frustration and reluctance of the pets. He was surprised but not surprised.
Elementary nursing pens were built with spirit stones and would be nurtured by spirit energy all the time. Pets in them would feel as if they were soaking in a hot spring in winter. It was already good enough that the pet didn't fly into a rage when it was pulled out.
"Sir, why are they so down?"
Lan Lele could tell that the pets were behaving strangely. She questioned Su Ping at once.
Su Ping pulled a long face. "How should I know?"
"You're the one taking care of them. Don't you know?" Lan Lele was angry.
Su Ping sneered. "How about I take care of you for a couple of days? Should I know your emotions?"
"You!" Lan Lele stomped her feet in anger.
Su Yanying came back to her senses. She stopped the two arguing and said to Su Ping, "Sir, I'm sorry. My friend is impatient."
"Yingying, something is wrong," Lan Lele said at once.
Su Yanying shook her head. "I can only feel their nostalgia. They are like this because they miss this place very much. It means that the boss didn't mistreat them. On the contrary, he took good care of them. I should thank the boss."
"What?" Lan Lele was stunned. "Nostalgia? They miss this place? "
She found it hard to believe. They had only been here for a few days and the pets were already feeling nostalgic?
Su Ping hadn't signed a contract with the pets. Even if there was an Astral Power Contract, there would be no emotional connection between the master and the pets at the beginning. The pets would just follow orders. Once the contract was broken, there would be no relationship between the master and the pets.
"It's true."
Su Yanying produced a bitter smile. She found it hard to understand as well. Su Ping must have treated the pets very well for them to miss this place. That would mean that this was a very conscientious pet store!
Lan Lele was surprised. She believed that Su Yanying wouldn't lie to her. She shouldn't be helping the boss instead of helping her. She must have misunderstood.
She darted a look at Su Ping. He was still wearing a cold face. Lan Lele stopped apologizing and pretended that nothing had happened. She turned around and sized up the pets.
"Their wounds seem to have healed."
After a closer look, Lan Lele realized that Su Yanying wasn't lying to her. Apart from being in a bad mood, the pets had recovered from their wounds. They seemed to be healthier than before. The color of their fur was brighter and the flames on the Fallen Phoenix's feathers were more intense. Clearly, they had been well taken care of.
Su Yanying nodded. She had noticed this before. The therapist said that the pets would recover in three days. However, it was obvious that the three pets hadn't just recovered today. They must have been treated here, not just fed.
As for the improvement of their power of understanding and constitution that Su Ping had mentioned, she couldn't find out for the moment. She was satisfied that the pets could heal.
"I wonder how the training is going."
Su Yanying shifted her gaze to the Lightning Rat by her feet. She squatted down and patted its little head to comfort it.
While patting, she noticed that the color of the Lightning Rat's fur was darker. It wasn't dark purple anymore, but black.
Also, she didn't know if it was an illusion, but she noticed that her other pets didn't seem to want to get close to the Lightning Rat. The one closest to her was the Lightning Rat. The other three were two meters away from her, unwilling to get close. They didn't seem to be close to her, but that wasn't the case in the past.
Su Yanying looked up and asked, "Sir, has the Lightning Rat changed a lot?"
Su Ping answered indifferently, "It's at least several times stronger than before."
The combat strength had only doubled, but that was just the numbers, not the actual combat strength!
The difference between the third rank and the seventh rank was at least a dozen times greater than before, or even more. Over a hundred third-rank pets would not be able to withstand a single blow from a seventh-rank pet!
That was why the system's quests were tricky …
"Several times stronger?" Su Yanying was stunned.
Lan Lele's eyes were wide open as well. She wondered if Su Ping had said something wrong.
How could the Lightning Rat improve several times after three days of training?
Did he think he was a top master trainer?
