Chapter 42: Being Sentimentally Bound

Su Yanying was happy to see the signboard "Pixie Pet Store." He was excited and looking forward to coming to this mysterious shop again. He missed that place.

He had been separated from his pet for three days. He could not wait to hug the little lover.

Although…

Those guys are not few. They were so big that he had to raise his head up high just to see them.

But to him, the pet was his baby. She bought some pets when they were little and raised them. Some pets grow quickly. They reached adulthood in three to five years and grew from a size where he could easily take it to a size he could ride.

"I wonder if the owner has taken good care of your pet."

Lan Lele came with Su Yanying as her bodyguard again and to keep an eye on her. After all, they had spent a lot of money the last time they visited. They cannot be fooled by the owner.

Su Ping stopped cultivating when the two stepped into the shop. "Wait here" he said with a poker face.

With that said, Su Ping went to the pet room in the back to wake up the Lightning Rat and the other three pets.

“Come out.”

Su Ping told the pet to get out of the grooming cage.

The pets lingered out of the treatment cage reluctantly as they felt Su Ping's determination.

As soon as they moved away from the grooming cage, the pet connected back to Su Yanying's astral force contract. They can feel each other's presence.

“That's them.” Su Yanying's eyes shone. He was happy that he could tell that his pet was behind, far away from him.

He stood on his tiptoes, looking with anticipation.

After a few minutes, he finally saw his pet slowly coming out of the pet room; they would stop occasionally to look back as if there was something behind them that was interesting and they were unwilling to move away from it.

Su Yanying was surprised.

From the contract of astral strength, he could clearly sense how reluctant his pet was. They have not met for a long time. How could his pet be interested in something else and not be excited to see it?

Are they becoming attached to this place?

"Continue. Go." Su Ping waved his hand impatiently.

Pets are smart. They looked at him with watery eyes, begging.

Su Ping was not looking into their eyes. He accelerated them.

The pets are sad. They returned to Su Yanying, in the landfill. When they saw their own master, they rubbed it as a welcome sign and then lay on their stomach on the floor, feeling blue.

Su Yanying was surprised because she could feel frustration at her pet.

This was not the meeting he had imagined.

Shouldn't they run towards him, wild with joy?

Shouldn't they be dancing and jumping around in happiness?

Why did they become depressed when they saw their master?

Su Yanying glanced at the Lightning Rat near his feet. The last time he visited, the Lightning Rat was very happy to see him. It was also in a bad mood at the moment.

"Why…?" For a moment, Su Yanying did not know what to say. She felt that the situation was unfair and the urge to cry came up.

Su Ping was surprised to feel how annoyed and reluctant the pet was, but he could understand.

The basic nursing pen is built with spirit stones. Pets are cared for by anima at all times. What pets feel in a grooming cage is similar to what people feel when soaking in a hot spring during winter. It's good that pets don't get angry after being dragged all of a sudden.

Su Ping pulled a long face. “Why should I know?”

“You take care of them. Why don't you know?” Lan Lele's face was shrouded in anger.

Su Ping smiled sinisterly. "So, if I take care of you for a few days, I should also know all your emotions?"

"You!" Lan Lele stomped her feet furiously.

Su Yanying regained consciousness. He placed himself between the two people who were arguing and apologized to Su Ping. “Master, I'm sorry. My friend has a short temper. ”

"Yingying, something is wrong here," Lan Lele warned him.

Su Yanying shook his head. “I just feel like they don't want to part from here. That means they like the place. That is, instead of treating them unfairly, their owners take good care of them. I have to thank the owner. ”

"What?" Lan Lele did not understand. “Do not want to go? They don't want to leave here?”

It's almost inconceivable. How can a pet become emotionally attached to the place after a few days of riding?

Su Ping did not sign a contract with the pet. Even if they had an emotional bond built up with the contract of astral strength, at first, their pets and masters would not be close. Pets will only follow orders. Once the contract is removed, the pet and its master will be completely unrelated.

"That's right."

Su Yanying forced a smile. He also cannot understand it. Only if Su Ping treated the pet very well would the pet become bonded, which implied that this was a reputable pet shop!

Lan Lele stood there, stunned. She believed that Su Yanying would not lie to her and would not defend her owner. Lan Lele knew that she must have misunderstood the owner.

Lan Lele glanced at Su Ping whose face was still grim. The apology stopped at the end of his tongue. He pretended that nothing had happened and turned his gaze towards the pet.

“Their injuries seem to have healed.”

Lan Lele was convinced that Su Yanying did not lie to her after a closer inspection. Except for the fact that pets are in a bad mood, their wounds have recovered, and they appear healthier than ever. Their feathers were brighter in color and the flames on the Fallen Phoenix feather lit up with a higher intensity. He knows that pets are well cared for.

Su Yanying nodded. He had noticed this before. The doctor told him that his pet would recover after three days. But he knew that the pet had not just recovered. Cured pets in the store. They are not just fed.

As for what Su Ping mentioned about increasing their comprehension power and refining their constitution, for the time being, Su Yanying was unable to figure it out. He was satisfied with the fact that they had recovered.

"I wonder how his training is."

Su Yanying directed his gaze to the Lightning Rat near his feet. She crouched down to caress his head to comfort him.

As he patted the Lightning Rat, he noticed that the color of its fur was deeper, having turned into the blackish color of that deep purple.

Moreover, perhaps this was only in his mind, but he felt that his other pet was unwilling to approach the Lightning Rat closest to him. The other three pets were two to three meters away from him, unwilling to approach. They weren't like this in the past.

"Sir, is this so different from before?" Su Yanying raised her eyes towards him.

Su Ping replied coldly, "His strength has increased by several folds, at least."

While the rank for combat power was only doubled, it was only a single digit, not the true power of the Lightning Rat!

Raising from third rank to seventh rank represented an increase in strength over a dozen times. There were not even a hundred third rank pets or so that could beat a rank seven pet!

That was why he thought the search for the system made no sense …

"A few times stronger?" Su Yanying did not believe this.

Lan Lele opened her eyes wide, wondering if Su Ping had chosen the wrong word.

The Lightning Rat was much stronger than before after only three days of training?

Does Su Ping consider himself the main trainer?

Even expert trainers could not boast of such a thing, except for a few secret ways applied to the Lightning Rat. But who would make such a big fuss with the Lightning Rat? What they paid was not worth the increase.
