Thank you for your patronage. Welcome to visit us again.
After smilingly seeing off yet another guest, Lu Yuan sighed wearily.
Since the news of the Divine Beast Auction House spread, the reputation of the Divine Beast Pavilion has also increased significantly, with a large number of customers entering the store every day.
It's only just past noon, and Lu Yuan has already lost count of how many guests he's served.
Most of these people came for the legendary cultivation techniques and magical artifacts; very few actually came to buy pet cubs.
Despite this, five pet cubs were sold in just one morning, a far cry from the previous dismal business situation.
Looking at the long string of numbers in his account, Lu Yuan felt both tired and happy.
"Manager, please help this customer complete the contract."
Not long after they sat down, Zheng Meng brought in another customer who had just paid.
"No problem, come with me."
Lu Yuan smiled slightly and led the guests into a private reception room.
A few minutes later, the contract was successfully completed, and Lu Yuan took the opportunity to promote pet food to him.
Just then, a commotion came from outside the door.
"This pet shop is a scam! Everyone, please don't fall for it and don't buy their pet cubs!"
Lu Yuan frowned subconsciously.
Immediately afterwards, Zheng Meng's urgent voice rang out.
"Please don't make a fuss, sir. If there's any problem, please let me know and I'll do my best to help you!"
"Solve it? You can't solve anything!"
Hearing this, Lu Yuan worried that Zheng Meng might be in danger again, so he quickly left the reception room.
After taking a look at the situation inside the store, Lu Yuan frowned.
A man with a fierce expression stood in the center of the hall, pointing and gesturing at Zheng Meng, while the other customers who came to buy things stood on the periphery, whispering among themselves, their faces showing either worry or amusement.
"What happened?"
"Manager!"
Upon seeing Lu Yuan, Zheng Meng's eyes lit up, as if she had found her pillar of support.
"Don't be afraid, what exactly happened?" Lu Yuan asked in a deep voice.
Zheng Meng glanced at the man in front of her and repeated what had just happened.
"This customer suddenly rushed in, saying that there was a problem with the pet cub he bought from us. He insisted that he had been cheated and not only prevented other customers from making purchases, but also demanded that we compensate him for his losses. However, when I asked him what the specific problem was, he refused to say."
After listening to Zheng Meng's words, Lu Yuan turned to look at the man in the middle.
"Sir, what's wrong with your pet cub?"
Du Chao looked at him coldly, "You're the manager of this store?"
Lu Yuan nodded, "We can sit down and talk about any problems. How about we go to the waiting room inside? It'll be quieter there."
But Du Chao just snorted coldly.
"Talk? What do I have to talk to you about?! I'm going to say it right here and now, so everyone can see how your pet shop scams people!"
Lu Yuan frowned.
"You keep saying our pet shop is a scam, but what exactly have you scammed us out of?"
"What did you lie about? Humph! Don't play dumb with me. I'll show everyone the evidence right now, so no one will say I'm slandering you!"
After saying that.
A kitten, pure white with three wide brown stripes on its forehead, looks very cute.
But at this moment.
The kitten lay in Du Chao's hand, its head drooping limply, its limbs dangling in mid-air, clearly looking like it was about to die.
"Oh! What an adorable kitten! How did it turn out like this?"
"This kitten looks like a clouded leopard, but it doesn't quite look like one..."
"It looks like it's about to die. Is it sick? Or is it due to improper care?"
"Didn't you listen to what he said? He should have bought this cloud cat from the Divine Beast Pavilion, but he got scammed!"
The other customers in the store were talking amongst themselves, while Lu Yuan frowned.
He did sell a cloud cat a couple of days ago, but he remembered that the customer who bought the cloud cat was not the man in front of him.
Zheng Meng obviously remembered too, and secretly tugged at Lu Yuan's sleeve.
Lu Yuan gave her a look, signaling her not to panic.
"Sir, are you sure you purchased this cloud cat from our Divine Beast Pavilion?"
"Of course! If I hadn't been listening to those rumors, would I, a Beast Tamer with an A-level talent, have contracted a stinky cat?" Du Chao said indignantly, his gaze towards the cloud cat filled with disdain.
Upon hearing this, the other guests immediately began to discuss it.
“Indeed! If I hadn’t heard that the Divine Beast Auction House and the Divine Beast Pavilion were from the same family, I wouldn’t have come here to buy a pet cub.”
"This pet shop sells only the most common low- or mid-level cubs. Just by looking at their appearance, you can't tell that they are anything special."
"I just bought a pet cub contract too, and the data shows that it's in perfect health. The monitoring device is connected to the Sky Eye system, so the data it displays can't be wrong, right?"
"Yes! Then what's the deal with his cloud cat?"
Faced with everyone's doubts, Du Chao simply threw the cloud cat on the ground.
"What happened? I want to know too! The contract started vomiting and having diarrhea just two days after it came home. Apart from feeding it the so-called special food that the kid concocted, the cloud cat hasn't eaten anything! And now it's dehydrated from diarrhea. I went to the Beast Taming Hospital for a checkup and found out that this is a side effect of forcibly altering its bloodline power!"
"ah?!"
"Forcibly altering bloodline power?!"
A gasp of surprise erupted from the crowd.
Everyone knows that the Divine Beast Pavilion's main selling point is pet cubs with divine beast bloodlines. Most people come for this extraordinary miracle that defies convention, but now it's been revealed that they were obtained through forced alteration?!
"You all don't believe me, right? Well, I'll show you whether I'm lying or not!"
Fearing that others wouldn't believe him, Du Chao grabbed the dying Yunmao from the ground and threw it into the testing device.
A moment later.
A string of data appeared on the screen.
[Race: Cloud Cat]
[Attribute: Wind]
[Level: Tier 1]
[Potential: Fifth Rank of Profound Truth]
[Bloodline: Profound True Seventh Rank (Divine Beast Celestial Dog, Bloodline Concentration 1/10,000)]
[Talent: Nebula Mist Wilderness]
[Skills: Charge, Cloud Leap, Heavenly Meteor Strike]
[Status: Infancy, near death]
When the test results came out, everyone present was astonished and immediately began to believe Du Chao's words to some extent.
After all, only the pet cubs of the Divine Beast Pavilion will have the names of divine beasts they have never heard of displayed in their bloodline power data.
"So? Now you know I was telling the truth!"
Du Chao raised his chin, a smug expression on his face, and then looked at Lu Yuan with a provocative look in his eyes.
"Manager Lu, it's now confirmed that the Cloud Cat was indeed purchased from your Divine Beast Pavilion. Can you give me a satisfactory explanation?"
"Why has Yunmao become like this?!"
