"Dad! I'm just going out for a bit, why are you following me?"
Bai Luoning, sitting in the back seat, looked at Bai Qing beside her with a hint of disapproval.
“It’s been a long time since my daughter and I have chatted together. I have nothing to do today and I’m just sitting at home doing nothing, so I might as well come out for a walk with you.”
Bai Qing rubbed his hands together and said with a smile.
"..."
Bai Luoning was speechless.
She clearly saw a stack of unprocessed documents in the study at home. How could Bai Qing have nothing to do?
never mind.
Anyway, she's just a pet beast cub from the Divine Beast Pavilion; if she wants to follow, let her follow.
...
Upon arriving at the entrance of the Divine Beast Pavilion, Bai Luoning was the first to push open the door and get out.
Bai Qing stood in front of the Divine Beast Pavilion and carefully examined it for a moment, his expression inscrutable.
"Here I am!"
As soon as the two entered the store, they were greeted by a polite and warm smiling face.
Bai Luoning had just raised the corners of her mouth to greet him when Bai Qing rushed up ahead of her.
"Who are you, kid? You're the one who seduced my precious daughter?!"
"What?……"
Wu Mingxu was stumped by Bai Qing's series of questions.
He was just greeting guests at the door, so how did he get accused of seducing someone's daughter?
He's not taking the blame for this!
"Dad! What nonsense are you talking about?"
Bai Luoning couldn't stand it any longer and finally spoke up.
"What kind of nonsense are you thinking? This is an employee of the pet store!"
Now it was Bai Qing's turn to be stunned.
"Oh? That's even more unacceptable! I'm not asking you to have a business marriage, but at the very least, you should find someone who is a good match in terms of social standing!"
Bai Luoning: "..."
Wu Mingxu: "..."
Just then, Lu Yuan walked back from the backyard, saw Bai Luoning, and greeted her with a smile.
"Oh? Miss Bai, you're here so fast! Don't block the doorway, come in!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Qing suddenly looked up at Lu Yuan, then looked at Bai Luo Ning with a shocked expression.
"Girl, you actually booked two dates in one go?!"
Bai Luoning: ? ? ?
"Dad! I'm here to pick up the pet cub I ordered a few days ago, not for a date! What on earth are you thinking?"
Hearing this, Bai Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh, I see! I thought some brat had run off with you!"
Bai Luoning couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Listen to that! Listen to that!
Is this something a father would say?
Wu Mingxu stood to the side, not daring to say a word. He didn't want to be accused of trafficking young girls at such a young age.
Lu Yuan looked left and right in confusion, not understanding what novel program these three people were performing.
In the end, Bai Luoning gave up on dwelling on the matter and skipped over to Lu Yuan's side.
"Is my custom-made pet cub really ready?"
Lu Yuan smiled and nodded, "You'll see when you come and see for yourself, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"
Bai Luoning's eyes lit up upon hearing this, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go take a look!"
Bai Luoning pulled Bai Qing along, and the two followed Lu Yuan into a private reception room.
"Sit here and wait a moment, I'll go and bring the cub over."
Ignoring Bai Qing's probing gaze, Lu Yuan smiled and nodded at Bai Luoning, then turned and left the reception room.
After he left, Bai Luoning stood up restlessly, glancing towards the door every now and then, which made Bai Qing's face grow increasingly gloomy.
"Ningning, tell Daddy the truth, did you really come here just to be a pet cub?"
Bai Qing felt very uneasy.
The guys at this pet shop are all incredibly handsome.
He thought the kid he met at the door was already good-looking, but he didn't expect the brat who brought them in later to be even more handsome!
What if Ningning is using the excuse of buying a cub to come see the handsome young man?
"Dad! Why are you still bringing this up? I've already said it's not what you think!"
Bai Luoning was speechless.
Can someone tell her what her dad is thinking about?
But Bai Qing clearly still had some doubts.
Ningning has just come of age and doesn't understand the wickedness of people's hearts, making her easily deceived.
no!
He needs to ask carefully!
Just as Bai Qing was about to press for more details, Lu Yuan fortunately returned in time.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Bai Luoning had been waiting impatiently, and when she saw Lu Yuan finally return, she couldn't wait to go and greet him.
"This is... a Azure Shell?"
Bai Luoning looked at the blue seashell opening and closing in Lu Yuan's arms and spoke uncertainly.
“That’s right!” Lu Yuan nodded with a smile. “This is the pet cub that was customized according to your requirements.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Luoning frowned immediately.
She requested a pet cub with potential and bloodline level of Earth Spirit or higher. If she remembered correctly, Azure Shell was only a mid-level cub, with a maximum strength of only Xuanzhen level, which could not meet her requirements at all.
Bai Luoning simply couldn't believe it.
She made such a clear request, and Lu Yuan actually prepared a blue shell for her?
Most importantly.
Azure Shell is a water-type cub, not a mist-type talent!
Thinking of this, Bai Luoning's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
Could I have been tricked?
Just then, Bai Qing, who was completely unaware of what was going on, suddenly spoke up.
"Ningning, if you want to keep Blue Shells as pets, just tell me! Why bother coming all the way to the pet store? I'll give you a call and have a dozen or so delivered!"
"..."
For a moment, the air in the reception room was quiet.
Bai Qing's words dealt a devastating blow to Bai Luoning's heart.
She's not here to buy a pet!
She's here to buy a beast taming animal!
Bai Luoning roared silently in her heart, her face as black as the bottom of a pot, and immediately prepared to turn around and leave.
But Lu Yuan called out to stop him.
"Miss Bai, don't be in such a hurry to leave! This Azure Shell is different from what you know. It has the bloodline of the divine beast Mirage flowing through its veins and can definitely meet all your requirements. If you don't believe me, come and take a closer look."
"Mirage?"
Bai Luoning frowned slightly, her eyes filled with doubt.
She had long heard that all the pet cubs sold in the Divine Beast Pavilion came from the inheritance of divine beasts she had never heard of before, and she had indeed never heard of any divine beast named Shen.
Could it be that this Azure Shell really has something special about it?
Bai Luoning hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to stay and observe further.
"Words are not enough. I need to see the data from Azure Shell first before I decide whether to believe you."
"no problem!"
Lu Yuan smiled slightly, turned around and put the Azure Shell in his arms into the detector.
In just a few breaths, Azure Shell's data was displayed on the screen.
[Race: Azure Shell]
[Attribute: Mist]
[Level: Tier 1]
[Potential: Earth Spirit Tier 3]
[Bloodline: Earth Spirit Tier 5 (Divine Beast Mirage, one-thousandth of its bloodline)]
[Talent: Illusionary Realm]
[Skills: Mist, Hallucination, Mirage]
[Status: Childhood, very healthy]
"It's really true?!"
Bai Luoning covered her mouth, unable to help but gasp in surprise.
Even Bai Qing, who was next to her, had an expression of disbelief on her face, her eyes wide open as she stared intently at the screen.
