The Astral Pet Store
Chapter 157's
Astral Pet Store – Chapter 157
Xu Yingxue's offensive words shocked all the visiting students nearby. They wondered if this woman was there to cause trouble. Ye Hao raised an eyebrow and gave Xu Kuang a mocking smile.
“Draud, you say?” Su Ping glanced at Xu Kuang. “I don't remember you spending a penny in my store. Did you bring him here to humiliate me? ”
Xu Kuang almost jumped up. “No no! Sir. My brother must have misjudged something. I'll explain to him soon, please. ”
Xu Yingxue was not happy to see her younger brother so “brainwashed” by the owner of this store, to the point that he openly disobeyed him.
Meanwhile, a few more customers are also trying to smooth things out. “Hey, miss, Professor Su is not a liar. Maybe you misheard.” “Yes. We all know he's a pet fighter given the title. ” “She may look young, but you should not judge her easily, miss. See me! I am a man who cares about my family despite my mediocre looks. ” Xu Yingxue's expression became colder as more people denied her words.
You all know?? Know what? As I thought, he was smart enough to put a lot of people under his plan!
Without caring about the others, he looked at Su Ping eyes. “Do you know what kind of social impact you would cause if you cheated money by pretending to be a titled fighter? Let's see ... If you are truly a warrior as everyone believes, would you dare to challenge me to a fight? Oh don't worry, I'm just a seventh rank fighting pet fighter. You can handle that much, right? ”
“Seventh rank?” a customer shouted in shock, “But he looks so young!”
Ye Hao was ready to enjoy the fun when his rival was beaten up, but he no longer felt good when he heard Xu Yingxue's words. As someone who had always been proud of himself, he had quite a lot of trouble in dealing with Luo Fengtian and Su Ping. A woman had just appeared out of nowhere and was even better than Luo Fengtian; she looked only a few years older than him!
Ye Hao clenched his fists as he thought how unfair the world was.
Su Ping looked at the woman impatiently as he had no intention of accepting the challenge at all. It would be a waste of time while not getting anything in return for him.
“No time. Exit.”
Xu Yingxue pouted as she thought this man would at least say no politely.
Did he not want to do something when he was questioned in front of all these customers??
“Ha! You saw it?” Xu Yingxue spoke to everyone, “He can't even deal with rank seven warriors. Titled? Don't make me laugh.”
However, those present did not react as he expected.
“Oi, baby, something wrong in your head?”
“Which class are you from? I don't think any student from our academy has reached the seventh rank. ”
“You may be an important person to us, Miss, but I suggest you be nice to Professor Su. Or his Inferno Dragon will swipe your ass to the next street.”
“Yes! You are only at seventh rank. It's not even worth the professor's time! ”
Xu Yingxue widened her eyes in disbelief.
Are you all blind?? This man is clearly a fraud, and you still help him?
Dragon Hell?? Even warriors with real titles did not say such nonsense! Xu Yingxue had spent many years dealing with all sorts of people in the settler base. He thought he had seen quite a lot of strange things. But what had just happened in front of him still managed to anger him. He could not remember when he had felt this angry before.
“You— STUPID!”
In his view, mentioning the existence of the Hell Dragon had eliminated the last bit of credit Su Ping could have. How could anyone be stupid enough to tell such a blatant lie?
He took a few careful breaths and looked at Su Ping again. “I don't care what kind of trick you use to fool them. But there will be no more dirty jokes on my watch! We'll finish this with a fight. I'm not going to waste any more breath talking to
You!”
“Kak!” Xu Kuang tugged at his clothes, worried.
“Solence! Move aside and watch!”
Xu Kuang had always respected his younger brother since childhood. He could no longer find the courage to oppose her when he saw her acting so seriously.
Su Ping sighed. “I told you I don't have time for this shit. Are you going to scram or not?”
“Fear me, right?!”
“Yes yes, I'm afraid. I'm so scared. Can you go now?”
“You
“
Xu Yingxue thought it was the worst thing she could expect from Su Ping. He's wrong! He is really shameless!
Worse, no one thanked him for “facing a liar for justice.” Instead, people gave him strange looks, as if he was a bully.
“You won't get away with this, no matter what you say!” Xu Yingxue had decided to use force, as she did not see anyone around the store who could stop her. “I will only reveal your forgery once I get you under my feet!”
Su Ping glanced at the incoming attack and looked at his account book again as if it was nothing to worry about.
Seeing this, Xu Yingxue tried to soften her attack slightly so that Su Ping would not blame her for ambushing someone while helpless. It would be best if he could force Su Ping to fight back.
Clangs!
His hand hit something unseen before it reached Su Ping and was reflected back, along with all the power he gave it to attack. Recoil dropped him a few meters back and caused his entire arm to numb.
What was that??
Su Ping put down his book and spoke to a nearby customer. “Wait here, I'll get
stroking.”
He went to the pet room at the back of the shop without even glancing at her.
Xu Yingxue looked between Su Ping and her hands with widened eyes. He did not see Su Ping move or use astral force to counter his attacks.
“Is—are you okay, sister?” Xu Kuang was afraid that his sister would get hurt.
Xu Yingxue tried to move her aching arm with a frustrated expression, while the waiting customer stared in admiration. None of them saw how Su Ping did it, although they were rather happy to see that “tough” visitor was confused by the offer.
“A piece of advice, miss. Apologize to Professor Su when you still have a chance. Do you think we're all joking when we say he's a titled soldier? You should feel lucky that he is a good man, because that is reason enough for him to kill you.”
“I'm the second.”
“You're ranked seventh, huh? Heh. Even better advanced fighting fighters than you should have to behave in this shop. Who do you think you are?”
Xu Yingxue's cheeks turned red in embarrassment and anger. He still did not know if Su Ping was a titled warrior, but that move or whatever he used back then meant that he was much stronger than her.
“Trust me, brother! You made a mistake! ” Xu Kuang try.
Xu Yingxue had never been a person who easily made mistakes. But this time, he knew he might have to admit it.
More customers sneered when they saw how the woman's ego was bruising.
Immediately, Su Ping returned to the counter and handed the pet to the waiting customers.
“... Are you really?” Xu Yingxue asked him with a strange look.
Su Ping ignored him and proceeded to the next customer in line; again, he had no time for this.
Xu Yingxue looked at Su Ping carefully again and decided not to offend any would-be geniuses who might come from extremely wealthy families or influential teachers.
“Sorry. I'm being careless.”
“Stop if you don't have things worth saying. I have a business to run.”
Xu Yingxue felt both annoyed and delighted that Su Ping had never looked at her directly. This had told him that he was not someone who would hold a grudge from time to time.
He bowed to Su Ping politely and took Xu Kuang away, whereas Xu Kuang had not wanted to leave so quickly. He went there that day to leave a good impression, but instead he caused the opposite result thanks to his sister.
“Pro-professor Su, may I visit you again?” he asked as he was dragged along by Xu Yingxue. Su Ping glanced at him. “Nothing's stopping you. Note that I will not tolerate such nonsense anymore. ”
“Of course! Thank you!”
Everyone watched as the two headed to their vehicles and saw the license plate of the car from the downtown area, where the rich and the ruler had gathered.
“Any. I think I've seen that guy somewhere before. Is he perhaps a student of Ares Academy?”
“Academy Ares ??” The name evoked yet another chatter among the students.
Ares Academy was generally believed to be the best school in Longjiang City for a long time, and the idea persisted for more than a century. Most of the “” top scorers attending Phoenix Peak Academy tried to go there but had to choose the second option because the Ares Academy entry value was higher.
The customers had just realized that Su Ping had even been recognized by someone from Ares Academy. With that, they had more reason to treat him with respect.
Nonetheless, their passionate appearance would not affect the way Su Ping handled his work. As usual, he spoke to every customer who was there for pick-up, while explaining what kind of new property the pet had acquired. At this point, no one felt the need to test the results in the store. At least they would not show any disbelief in front of Su Ping anymore.
There were still new customers who had come to this store the day before, who did not believe that the training was done overnight just by looking at their pets. As planned, Su Ping only needed to tell the pet to show what they had learned to convince the owner.
