Astral Pet Store – Chapter 493
All the ferocious beasts paused for a moment; they saw the intimidating beast king arrive.
The beast king who was grappling with the Fierce Fire Ape was alerted by the roar; it turned to look, no longer caring about the Fierce Fire Ape.
“King of the Beast!”
Su Ping also noticed the beast king as he stood on the head of the Swamp War Crocodile. He became furious when he saw that the beast king was hunting the Fierce Fire Ape that he had just sold.
Til death!!
Behind him, three swirls appeared!
Roars!!
The Hell Dragon was the first to come out. It landed and flames swept across the entire area!
The dragon had sensed Su Ping anger. With red eyes, the Hell Dragon threw itself into the beast crowd. It clawed left and right, burning all the beasts with a powerful flame.
Meanwhile, the Dark Dragon Hound and Purple Python had come out as well. They roared and ran towards the ferocious beasts. They are like wolves that are raiding sheep!
Su Ping drove the Swamp War Crocodile towards the beast king!
The king of the beasts also felt the ferocity of the Swamp War Crocodile. The beast king tried to roar at the Swamp War Crocodile but the latter was not intimidated at all. If anything, the Swamp War Crocodile is getting angrier. The Swamp War Crocodile was pounding the ground and many sharp stone spikes that were over a hundred meters tall were growing from the ground. It was as if the earth was showing its fangs!
The king of the ferocious beasts shouted and destroyed the ground. One piece of land lifted!
The wall collapsed onto huge nails. Both the walls and the nails were instantly smashed into pieces. Huge, broken stones rolled around, posing great danger to the herd of beasts.
A battle between beast kings could shake the world!
Roars!!
The Swamp War Crocodile felt his dignity had been challenged. Blood flowed into his eyes. The Swamp War Crocodile was speeding up. The ground trembled due to its rapid speed; many deep holes appeared as the Swamp War Crocodile moved.
The crocodile reached the strange beast king in an instant.
The beast king against the beast king!
The strange, large and fierce-looking beast king's mouth was wide open. Its impact extends towards the Swamp War Crocodile. At the same time, the beast king directed some of his limbs to smash the eyes of the Swamp War Crocodile.
However, as if in a frenzy, the Swamp War Crocodile did not heed and threw himself at the king of beasts.
Bang out!!
The beast king rolled. While the rare beast king tried to tear apart the Swamp War Crocodile with its claws, it was completely unharmed due to its hard skin. There were only a few light marks left on his skin.
“Come go!”
As the beast kings collided with each other, Su Ping carried Qin Shuhai in one hand and flew away.
The two beast kings were in a melee fight while Su Ping floated in the air. The Swamp War Crocodile reacted quickly. It bit the head of the other beast king; its sharp teeth tore apart the skin and scales of the beast king. Blood gushed out.
Tangle Crocodile!
Pffs!
The big crocodile rolled around with speed and agility, then twisted its neck and managed to rip off half of the beast king's head!
“Room!!!”
The beast king's tribulation cry spread throughout the entire herd of beasts!
The Crocodile War of the Swamp did not stop. It turned around and waved its thick tail.
tail hammer!
Bang out!
That thick tail whipped the beast king, making him roll back due to the strong impact!
The beast king lost a lot of blood on the road due to a head injury, fouling the red ground!
Roars!!
The Swamp War Crocodile snarled!
Energy surged and the ground broke. Many sharp stone spikes grew. With a few muffled sounds, the stone spikes pierced through the king of beasts who breathed his last!
Blood was dirtying the stone nails.
The cry of misery is over. The king of beasts is dead!
Hurrah!
The Swamp War Crocodile raised its muzzle to shout into the sky, announcing its victory!
Everyone standing on the outer wall of the base city was stunned by the battle.
The battle ended quickly. The beast king, who had become a deadly threat to them, was killed by Su Ping's mount!
The beast won a landslide!
The sight of the beast king being pierced and lifted off the ground by the nails shocked everyone defending the wall.
It was a strong and savage battle. Finally, they saw what it meant to have invincible strength!
Xie Jinshui and Qin Duhuang still had a hard time believing this.
Both of them were beast kings but they were separated from the world!
It's scary!
No one could make a sound as they stared at the huge crocodile that was outside, without any ferocious beasts daring to approach.
“Clean this!”
Standing in midair, Su Ping gave orders to the Swamp War Crocodile that still showed authority.
The Swamp War Crocodile glared at Su Ping, unhappy that he had stopped his fun. It shook its head, then turned around and glanced at the group of ferocious beasts around it.
The ferocious beast immediately fled after sensing the overwhelming energy of the beast king!
Bang out! Bang out! Bang out!
The Swamp War Crocodile attacked and stomped many advanced beasts to death in an instant!
The Swamp War Crocodile and the Hell Dragon were left to have fun with the remaining wild beasts. Su Ping flew into the outer wall; he noticed Xie Jinshui, Qin Duhuang and other familiar faces. After all, they were all fighting pet fighters and they would always stand out in the crowd.
“The beast does not attack the city, right?” Su Ping asked as soon as he landed on the wall.
“Mr Su, you are back at the right time!” Xie Jinshui said excitedly.
That was the benefit of having a legendary level power in the base city.
They could have waited for reinforcements, but the distant water could not quench the thirst at this time!
Longjiang Base City will be penetrated before reinforcements arrive, and his career as mayor will be over!
Qin Duhuang — who is usually not good at showing his mood — can barely hide his excitement this time around. If Su Ping did not return in time, his Fierce Fire Ape would be in fatal danger!
Another pet of the ninth rank would be killed before putting up a fight!
“Master Su, on behalf of my pet, thank you!” Qin Duhuang said, sincerely.
He's really grateful.
He'll never forget this.
“Mr Su,” says Zhou Tianlin. He no longer felt any hatred as he looked at the young man who had once attacked the Zhou family alone. Instead, he was quite happy to see it.
Su Ping nodded at him.
“This is where most of the beats are collected. As long as we can keep him safe here, the other three parties can arrange it themselves. Mr. Su, if you don't return, Longjiang will be in serious trouble. None of us can stop that beast king.” Xie Jinshui wanted to shake Su Ping's hand, but was a little afraid of doing so at the same time. He just rubbed his hands together. He doesn't look like the mayor at the moment.
“Good.”
Su Ping was relieved. As long as the ferocious beasts have not entered into the base city.
He came back in a hurry for a reason.
Her mother was protected by the system but there were many others she knew in Longjiang Base City, especially her customers. Some repeat customers will often go to his store and he will chat with them. They are more than just acquaintances at this point. Although they were not close friends, he could not bear to think that they would die in a savage beast attack.
“There is nothing to fear now because Mr Su is here!” Zhou Tianlin smiled. The dark clouds above their heads were finally gone. He just spoke his mind.
Qin Duhuang nodded in agreement. He had felt a sense of frustration that he had not felt for many years when Fierce Fire Ape was almost killed.
Su Ping smiled and turned around. While staring at the remaining beasts, Su Ping said, “We can catch up later. Since the beast king is dead, how do you think we get rid of all those beasts?”
“Come do!” Qin Duhuang said at once.
“Ya!”
Zhou Tianlin nodded.
Without the beast king, they no longer had to hold back; they could join the battle itself!
“Kill them!”
Su Ping flew to the beast group at once.
“I'm right behind you!” Qin Duhuang laughed. In a daze, he felt he had become young again. He summoned the other battle pets and flew towards the ferocious beasts.
“Yang is coming!”
Zhou Tianlin followed Qin Duhuang and stormed into the beast crowd as well.
Xie Jinshui smiled. He felt that a heavy burden had been lifted from his mind, as he watched Su Ping come and kill the beast king with his mount.
But he did not fight directly. He summoned his two battle pets while he called out to the people on the other side of the wall, telling them to chase away all the ferocious beasts!
With the help of Su Ping and his battle pets, the horde of beasts immediately collapsed. The table has changed.
Half an hour later, all the beasts on the eastern side had been expelled, leaving behind many corpses and blood that the ground could not absorb for some time!
After less than 10 minutes, the news came from the west side. They also managed to drive away the beasts!
Soon after, good news came from the north and south sides.
When everyone heard that Su Ping had returned and the beast king was put away, the people guarding the other side of the base city entered the fray and fought to their fullest. The animals were immediately in chaos.
…
After the battle, Xie Jinshui said to Su Ping as he left, “Master Su, you have saved Longjiang. You are our hero. We will have a celebration party tonight and you should be there too!”
Su Ping shook his head. “I'm not a hero. I just did what I could do. I have to cultivate so that I don't go to the banquet. You, as well as the generals and warriors, are a true hero!”
Xie Jinshui was disappointed.
Qin Duhuang tried to persuade Su Ping, “Master Su, you can relax for one night. It would be a pity if you weren't there.”
“True,” Zhou Tianlin jumped in, “Master Su, you have a store to run, right? We know that everything is good and you have more than enough customers every day, but you can never be too popular. You will have even more customers in the future if people find out about your contribution!”
A fair point. Su Ping raised his eyebrows.
“Good.” Su Ping finally gave up.
The others smiled.
Su Ping said goodbye to them. He asked the Hell Dragon and two other pets to return and drive the Swamp War Crocodile back to his shop.
Once again, he felt the Slave Contract had flaws. The Swamp War Crocodile would be too big to be left outside the shop as it would block the entire street.
After they entered the slum area, Su Ping told the Swamp War Crocodile to climb a hill along the isolated road and stay there for a while.
The hill was only a few blocks away from his shop. It was a good thing about the slums: remote and spacious. The beast king would destroy many buildings if he were in the downtown area.
Su Ping reminded the Swamp War Crocodile not to hurt anyone without his orders and then returned to the shop.
Of course, no one would approach the Swamp War Crocodile for no reason, so Su Ping was not worried.
He flew back into his path.
There are not many people outside. But Su Ping was not surprised.
Door's open. Tang Ruyan and Zhong Lingtong were sitting in the waiting room, chatting.
Su Ping remembered she had met Tang Ruyu—the female brother of Tang Ruyan— in the stadium.
He remembered what he said.
“Kill him if he bothers you too much.”
Su Ping came in.
Su Ping noticed how delighted Tang Ruyan was. He smiled a faint smile towards her.
“Pak!”
Like a cute rabbit, Zhong Lingtong bounced.
Su Ping rubbed his head. “Are you arguing with your Sister Tang?”
Zhong Lingtong shook his head. “Of course not. She's very good.”
Tang Ruyan glared at Su Ping. “Do I look like a person who wants to argue?”
“You're arguing with me now.”
“You—hmph!”
Tang Ruyan frothed in her mouth. Not even Buddha could remain calm after talking to this person!
“Have you heard about the wild beast attack?” Su Ping asked
Tang Ruyan was surprised because Su Ping did not ask about the income first. “Of course. The entire Longjiang Base City was on standby. Even a three-year-old would know. Many kindergartens are stopping schools, and many parents and children live in shelters.”
Su Ping was amazed by Xie Jinshui's quick reaction. He had even made a protective arrangement.
“Didn't you just come back? Hows it? I heard there's a beast king!” Tang Ruyan felt worried when she thought of this. Of course, a beast king was nothing to this person.
“Taken care. They're having a celebratory dinner tonight. Come with me,” said Su Ping.
Tang Ruyan was speechless.
Just like he thought…
This guy is a real monster.
“Taken care? Sir, are you the one taking care of the beast king?” curious, Zhong Lingtong asked.
Su Ping left while riding on the king of ferocious beasts. He would not be afraid even if he met the beast king on his way back.
“On one side. I work with others,” replied Su Ping.
Zhong Lingtong could not help but admire his teacher. The ferocious beasts attacked and the entire Longjiang Base City became panicked. But the beast's attack was stopped the moment Su Ping returned. It was clear that Su Ping contribution would not go unnoticed.
“By the way, I thought you were going to the Supremacy League. Why did you come back so soon? Are you here just to save the city?” Tang Ruyan did not think Su Ping could lose. After all, there are very few people in the world who are as weird as this person.
“I won the championship. Wh why? You think I should have stayed there during the New Year?” Su Ping replied with another question.
Tang Ruyan was still dumbfounded.
“Vehicle?” He glared at her. “Didn't you just go there to compete?”
“Since when was the championship measured by the length of time?”
“…”
I will call you Su the Disser from now on!
Can't you talk like a normal person!
Tang Ruyan was furious.
Su Ping looked at him. “Stay in the store. I can give you some special awards if you work well. For example, you will have a priority if I sell a rank nine beast again. Or, I can sell my king of the world to you when you become a pet warrior of the ultimate battle.”
Tang Ruyan was still dumbfounded.
He opened his eyes wide in disbelief. He wasn't sure if he was serious or just joking.
Sell the king of beasts to him …
“Are you ... making fun of me?” Tang Ruyan asked.
Su Ping replied, “The condition is that you should do your job well here.”
Tang Ruyan looked at him. He has lived there for a long time. He knew that this man was not kidding.
“Why ..” He lowered his head.
“Employee benefits. Don't read too much about it.” He patted his head. “OK, I have to go home and tell mom that I'm back.”
Tang Ruyan watched as she left. He bit his lips and clenched his fingers.
He is not stupid; he is rather clever and perceptive.
Su Ping's offer was sudden. He had gone to the League of Supremacy, where the Tang family would also participate. Su Ping must have met them.
But he could not guess what happened when they met each other.
He only had the feeling that Su Ping kindness had something to do with the Supremacy League.
tang Family…
Tang Ruyan felt her heart twitch.
There was a time when he felt very proud after saying or hearing those two words.
But then, those two words were like two swords. Every time he heard and thought of them, they would pierce his heart.
The Tang Family was one of the ancient families, a large family.
However, there was no room for him.
Zhong Lingtong was confused, wondering why Tang Ruyan had suddenly become desperate.
…
Su Ping went home. He told his mother about his safe return as well as the fact that the beasts had been taken care of.
But her mother knew about it. He had seen on TV, when the Swamp War Crocodile brought Su Ping back to the city; the government had sent the news to the media, who reported it throughout Longjiang Base City!
Everyone in the city was excited.
They are celebrating!
Su Ping felt that his joy had been snatched from him. She told her mother about dinner and asked if she wanted to leave, but she refused.
The reason is, he doesn't want to appear on TV.
Su Ping had not expected that he would give such a good chance to put himself in the spotlight. He would always brag about his son and daughter to the neighbors. But when he finally had a good chance to become famous in Longjiang, he didn't want to.
Su Ping tried to persuade her to leave but Li Qingru refused. “You and your sister have good prospects. I was quite happy to look around the neighborhood. That dinner was a big event; it would have a bad impact on you and your sister if I went and said something wrong.”
Su Ping did not say anything for a moment.
“You wouldn't do something like that. You raised me. Nothing you do will be bad for me!” Su Ping looked into his eyes. “No rumors can hurt me. Your son is in the title level. Rumors will only hurt ordinary people, not me!”
Su Ping insisted and finally, Li Qingru gave up.
That night.
Dinner was held at the town hall.
All the famous media were there, and the heads of the five families were also present. The generals who had done exemplary work during the battle were also there, wearing military uniforms and medals of honor.
Dinner will be broadcast live.
“I Xie Jinshui, your mayor!”
Xie Jinshui stood on the podium, looking solemn. “This ferocious beast attack was led by the king of ferocious beasts with 57 rank nine ferocious beasts as the core strength, and over two hundred thousand advanced beasts. It was an attack strong enough to topple many base cities, but we did not fall!
“We have successfully repelled all the beasts!
“The king of beasts was killed on the spot and 34 of the rank nine ferocious beasts were eliminated. Other savage beasts fled in panic!”
The reporters remained silent.
Currently, residents—old or young, male or female, who is sitting in front of TV— remain silent.
Those words, without a mixture of glamour, had filled them with fear!
A king of animals!
Fifty-seven rank nine beasts!
Two hundred thousand advanced ferocious beasts!
How intimidating is that!
But they didn't fail!
In one day, that calamity was averted!
The king of beasts was killed!
“Many of our fighters are fighting, bleeding and some heroic souls will never return to us, to their families. They are all our heroes!
“Because of their contribution we can enjoy peace!
“From all the heroes, there's someone I have to accept. He killed the king of beasts for us!
“Without him, more of us will perish, and more will never see their families again!
“He is Mr Su Ping, owner of Pixie Pet Store!”
Xie Jinshui's fiery voice echoed everywhere. As planned, the spotlight turned to Su Ping. Right now, Longjiang's focus was Su Ping.
He's not nervous.
Xie Jinshui invited him to the podium.
“I just do my part. Others helped stop the beasts. They are the ones you should thank,” said Su Ping.
He finished his short speech. Xie Jinshui reacted quickly. “Mr Su, you are too humble. You return in time and kill the king of beasts. That's how we chase away other beasts. You got the compliments!”
Su Ping did not say anything.
All cameras are on Su Ping.
Some people didn’t know Su Ping. Some had learned the name from the store and the Elite League. Basically, most people witnessing this were stunned. Apart from a very few people, not even his customers had been aware that the store owner that they talked to almost every day was able to kill a beast king.
Xie Jinshui said more words of gratitude. He thanked Su Ping, as well as the five major families and warriors who had perished in battle.
He also mentioned how he would make it up to the families of the fallen.
The news conference came to an end. The dinner party began.
Alcohol and delicacies!
Eating and drinking!
The city hall, a place always quiet and solemn, became filled with excitement that evening.
The family heads went to make toasts in Su Ping’s favorite, and they also got acquired with Tang Ruyan, Zhong Lingtong, and Su Ping’s mother.
Su Ping’s mother was the main focus; Qin Duhuang and the other family heads smiled at her warmly. It was hard to befriend Su Ping, but it would be much easier to start with his family.
Su Ping was not worried about his mom showing up in public. After all, the ones that indeed wanted to harm him could find out about his family relations easily, including his mom and Su Lingyue’s birthdays.
That was a moment of honor. He had to share it with his family.
It was too bad that he had not heard from his father yet. He had to wait for him to return home.
There who were attending that gala, apart from the higher-ups and elites of the five families, were the ones who had done exceptional work during the battle and some VIPs.
Because of Xie Jinshui’s speech, everyone remembered the name, Su Ping. At dinner time, someone would always drop by to talk to Su Ping when he was eating; he had to stop now and then to talk.
The dinner continued to the small hours of the night. Suddenly, Xie Jinshui felt his phone ring.
He was surprised that someone would call him at that time. He apologized to the people he was with, set up a sound-proof seal, and answered the call. “Yes?”
“Sir, this is not good. Beasts were detected in the C-12 district and we have just heard that beasts are coming in from the spatial crack in district B-04. The beasts are gathering.” The person sounded in a panic.
Xie Jinshui turned pale.
The beasts were still coming?
But the beast king was dead.
He looked up and saw that Su Ping was still eating and drinking. Seeing him instantly relieved Xie Jinshui a bit. “Go and investigate. I want the most accurate and detailed information!”
“Yes, sir!”
Xie Jinshui was no longer in the mood to enjoy dinner. He walked over to where Su Ping was.
