Unserious Beast Tamer

After the little interlude of issuing a challenge, Su Xiaoxiao handed Flame Fox to Xu Ran, “Boss, I’m leaving him to you!”

“Alright.” Xu Ran took the Flame Fox, which was full of anticipation, and walked into the Grooming Room.

“Xiaoxiao, did your Flame Fox spar with the boss’s pet beast?” Gu Ling curiously looked at Ziyun and then asked.

“Yeah, a few days ago…” She briefly explained the details of the last spar, then clapped her hands together, “So, Little Flame and the boss’s cat are destined to spar again, it’s a fated showdown!”

Gu Ling:

As she was about to say something, a rather pleasing sound suddenly came from the Grooming Room.

“Mew—”

Was this sound…

Gu Ling widened her eyes, her cheeks slightly warm, she looked at Su Xiaoxiao strangely, “Is your Flame Fox okay?”

“Haha~” Su Xiaoxiao shifted her gaze slightly, “No worries, this is the normal situation during grooming.”

Was it really a normal situation?

Listening to the strange sounds constantly coming from the Grooming Room, Gu Ling’s gaze became more doubtful as she watched Su Xiaoxiao’s increasingly evasive eyes.

As the atmosphere became increasingly awkward due to the strange sounds coming from the Flame Fox, Xu Ran walked out of the Grooming Room, holding a rejuvenated Flame Fox.

“All done, next!”

The Flame Fox’s eyes still appeared dazed. After it jumped down to the ground, it staggered due to weak legs, then gradually regained consciousness, and became steady on its feet.

It walked to Su Xiaoxiao with graceful steps, leapt into her arms and there was still a hint of reminiscence on its face.

Gu Ling’s gaze hadn’t left the Flame Fox’s body since it appeared, feeling the stark contrast before and after its grooming, she couldn’t help but look surprised.

Such grooming effects…

None of the other grooming services she had experienced before could compare!

“How about it, I told you it’s worth it, right?” Su Xiaoxiao nudged Gu Ling with her elbow, “It’s your Dark Scale Dragon’s turn now!”

“Hmm…” Gu Ling nodded, exchanged a look with her Dark Scale Dragon, then turned to Xu Ran, “Please take care of my pet beast!”

“No problem, follow me.” Xu Ran signaled for the Dark Scale Dragon to follow him, then walked back into the Grooming Room.

Feeling a bit nervous at the thought of providing service to a dragon, Xu Ran started the preparation.

[In order to improve the grooming experience, the system will impart the host with related knowledge in “Basic Care for Dragon Pet Beast” and “Basic Care for Dark Attribute Pet Beast”]

With a plethora of knowledge flooding his mind, Xu Ran picked up the showerhead, adjusted the bath dew containing special resources and the temperature, and sprinkled it over the Dark Scale Dragon.

“Roar?!”

The Dark Scale Dragon, which was quietly lying on the Care platform, widened its eyes.

Gu Ling came from a well-off family and was naturally generous to it.

When they were at Xieyun City, it often enjoyed the best grooming service in the city.

But none of those services ever gave it such a unique sensation.

The water carried just the right amount of warmth, caressing the body hidden beneath its hard scales through tiny gaps. As the resources in the water came into play, waves of warmth spread from the surface of its body into its core.

The peculiar comfort made its body uncontrollably tremble.

[Pleasure value from Dark Scale Dragon +5]

[Pleasure value from Dark Scale Dragon +5]

[From…]

Such a proud creature from the big city just acts like this, huh?

Xu Ran looked at the overwhelmed Dark Scale Dragon, a strange gaze in his eyes.

Without pausing, he proceeded with the next steps.

The comfort brought by the grooming enhanced as the treatment continued, the Dark Scale Dragon’s satisfaction eventually peaked.

The cold dragon eyes melted like ice hit with fire, leaving behind only a tumultuous daze.

A trembling and low voice was painstakingly squeezed out from the throat of the Dark Scale Dragon.

“Ao—”

[Pleasure value from the Dark Scale Dragon +20]

[Pleasure value from the Dark Scale Dragon +20]

[From…]

A touch of relief appeared in Xu Ran’s eyes.

He could feel the struggle within the Dark Scale Dragon.

But it still enjoyed the process, didn’t it?

“What…”

Hearing faint noises from the grooming room, Gu Lin’s eyes widened and her cheeks gradually grew hot.

Why would her Dark Scale Dragon make such strange noises?!

“See! I told you it was normal.” Su Xiaoxiao, who was holding the Flame Fox, gave Gu Ling a look that said “I told you so”.

“I…”

Gu Ling’s thoughts were somewhat chaotic, she was considering whether to go check on the situation in the grooming room, but was somewhat worried about witnessing something she shouldn’t.

While she was still hesitant, the door to the grooming room opened.

Emerging from the haze that spilled out, Xu Ran walked out with a completely renewed Dark Scale Dragon.

Looking at each scale shining like black crystal under the light, the piercingly sharp claws were so terrifying at a glance, the dark pupils were as horrifying as the abyss, the awe-inspiring Dark Scale Dragon left Gu Ling completely astounded.

This is her Dark Scale Dragon?!

Even though she had already witnessed the transformation of the Flame Fox before and after its grooming, it was still incredible to see a huge change in her familiar companion.

“Thank you for your patronage, the cost is 26,666 yuan.” Xu Ran smiled.

“Oh right!” Gu Ling came back to her senses, realizing she hadn’t paid yet, she quickly scanned a barcode for the transfer.

“Boss, boss, shall we go for a match now?” Su Xiaoxiao started with a playful smile, “My little Flame can’t wait anymore!”

“Meow-”

Ziyun took a light leap, jumping into Xu Ran’s arms, turning his head to look at the Flame Fox, as if the flames of battle were burning in his eyes.

“It seems that Ziyun can’t wait any longer.” Xu Ran glanced at the hanging clock on the wall, “It’s just about lunch time, let’s close up shop and go for the match now.”

“Oh? It’s you two again?”

In the Tianhong Stadium, the familiar beefy referee chuckled, recognizing the pair of Beast Masters and their Pet Beasts who had competed just a few days ago, “What a coincidence, I’m hosting for you guys again today.”

“May I know the referee’s name?” Xu Ran asked with a smile.

Meeting the same referee twice in a row was somewhat serendipitous.

“You can just call me Xu.” Referee Xu Long picked up his whistle, “If everyone is ready, shall we start now?”

“Great!” Xu Ran and Su Xiaoxiao exchanged glances, both without any issues.

In the audience stand, Gu Ling curiously propped her cheeks, looking at the two sides ready for battle in the field. Beside her, the completely renewed Dark Scale Dragon crossed its front claws on its chest, assuming a serious watching posture.

“The rules of the game are hereby reiterated.” After quickly reiterating the rules of the game, Xu Long announced loudly, “Both parties are in position, countdown three seconds, the game begins!”

“Three… two… one…”

Standing in the fixed circles on either side of the field, Ziyun and Flame Fox simultaneously raised their heads, looking at each other from a distance.

At the moment when their eyes full of battle intention intertwined in the air, the atmosphere in the field reached a standstill, which was then broken by a sharp whistle.

The rematch between Ziyun and the Flame Fox, has begun!
