Luo Chen was stunned. He really didn't expect that the exquisite and beautiful [Colorful Sound Spirit Bird] in front of him would suddenly say such a thing.
Before he could say anything, Xiao Niao seemed to react and glanced at Luo Chen from head to toe. "Are you the owner of that shop? You look just average."
The tone was not polite at all. Luo Chen clenched his palms and ignored the sparrow in front of him. Instead, he silently called the system in his mind.
"Is this the rewarded spirit beast for protecting the store? I can see it, but is it really capable of protecting the store?"
A crackling sound of electricity flashed through my mind, as if the system had also fallen into some kind of stuck state.
"Although the beasts have some differences in personality, they will absolutely obey their master's orders 100%."
Caiyin Lingque waited for a long time, but the shop owner ignored her and she was a little upset. "Go get me some spirit beast meat! I'm hungry."
After hearing the system's assurance that the beast in front of it would absolutely obey its orders, Luo Chen raised a meaningful smile.
"Hold your head and squat down."
As soon as Luo Chen gave the order, the body reaction of [Colorful Sound Spirit Bird] was obviously much faster than its mouth. Its body was still flying in the air, and its wings with colorful glittering lights were neatly folded behind its head. Even its legs were slightly bent, and it did a standard squatting posture with its head in its hands in the air.
'Boom'
The dull sound of a heavy object falling to the ground was heard on the second floor. Luo Chen could even feel the floor shaking. He looked at the [Colorful Sound Spirit Bird] in surprise. He did not expect that its small half-meter body could have such a great weight.
"Fuck, sir, why are you giving orders when you have nothing to do? Can't you see I'm still flying?"
Judging from the powerful sound it made, it was obvious that falling from mid-air had not caused it any harm at all.
"Shut up." This was the second order Luo Chen gave it, and its ears instantly became much quieter.
Luo Chen rubbed his brows. "Next, I'll ask you a question and you answer it." Without waiting for it to respond, Luo Chen asked his first question, "Where are you from?"
The silenced [Colorful Sound Spirit Bird] finally realized that it could speak, but the words it spoke were not under its own control. "I don't know."
Although he had expected this result, Luo Chen couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. It seemed that the existence behind the system had already made preparations.
"How old are you?"
"Two thousand three hundred and forty-two years old."
"What level are you originally?"
“****”
I don’t know what it said, it turned into a vague tone, and Luo Chen couldn’t understand what it meant.
"Say that again."
“****”
It was still a vague noise, and it seemed that this was also information that was not allowed to be disclosed.
"Why did you become the store's guardian spirit beast?"
"To break through."
"What does the store-guarding spirit beast have to do with your breakthrough?"
"have no idea."
Luo Chen was furious, well, it was the same as not saying anything.
Luo Chen then asked some other questions, but basically did not get any useful information. Either they didn't know, or the answers were perfunctory.
"Move freely."
The [Colorful Sound Spirit Bird] then lowered its wings from its head, and the whole bird flew up from the ground.
It flew up and down in front of Luo Chen, looking as if it was eager to say something to Luo Chen.
"Speak." Luo Chen lifted the order to shut up.
"His grandmother..."
"No talking."
[Caiyin Lingque] had just said three words when she received the big gift package of silence from Luo Chen.
"As the shop's guardian spirit beast, I have three requirements for you: one, no swearing; two, disguise yourself as an ordinary spirit beast in front of customers; and three, do not leave the pet shop without my permission.
Otherwise, don’t even think about talking anymore. Just nod if you agree.”
[Caiyin Lingque] looked at Luo Chen for a long time before nodding reluctantly, its little eyes rolling around dishonestly, and no one knew what evil thoughts it was thinking.
Seeing that it agreed, Luo Chen lifted the order to silence it. "Cough cough." Two light coughs came from the mouth of [Colorful Sound Spirit Bird], confirming that it could make a sound.
It looked at Luo Chen and said, "I'm... hungry. Do you have any spirit beast meat to eat?"
Luo Chen was speechless. This guy came up and asked for spirit beast meat. He really didn't treat himself as an outsider. A pound of spirit beast meat cost thousands of spirit coins, and a better one might cost tens of thousands of spirit coins.
That's not something his small, newly established shop can afford. Or maybe the only people in the entire Qingyang City who can afford it are the few king-level beastmasters.
So Luo Chen rejected the request of [Caiyin Lingque] without hesitation, "No."
[Caiyin Lingque] sighed humanely, "Then the ferocious beast's meat will be okay, right?"
[Caiyin Lingque] was also crying in its heart, thinking that one day it would be reduced to eating such low-quality meat as the meat of ferocious beasts.
The price of ferocious beast meat ranges from a few hundred to a thousand spirit coins. Luo Chen did not refuse this time, but nodded as a sign of agreement.
He sent a message to Luoyang, asking him to buy some ferocious beast meat and bring it to the store, and then returned to the first floor to act as a ruthless store-guarding machine.
However, what was different from the morning was that there was an exquisite and beautiful bird beast [Caiyin Lingque] on the cashier's table.
Its colorful feathers always attracted customers who wanted to touch it. When it wanted to use its wings to swat away the customers' dirty hands, Luo Chen gave it a threatening look and it froze in place, allowing some brave customers to touch it back and forth.
Luo Chen's face was full of satisfaction. Judging from the appearance of [Colorful Sound Spirit Bird], it was indeed a good sign to attract customers.
[Caiyin Lingque] had a look of despair on its face, and it was no longer clean.
…
Zhang Heng was a junior high school student at Qingyang No. 1 Junior High School. Since it was the college entrance examination time for the senior high school students, their classroom was requisitioned and they naturally got a week's vacation.
In addition to his busy studies, he likes to visit some beast taming shops and get in touch with beast taming in real life.
He heard from his good friend that Chenyang Pet Shop had reopened after renovation, so he took advantage of his break to go into the store to see if there was anything new.
As soon as I walked into the store, I saw a group of people gathered next to the cashier. I don’t know what attracted so many people’s attention.
He tiptoed quietly and saw only densely packed heads, and had no idea what was surrounded by them.
It was indeed difficult for him to squeeze in with his height of 1.65 meters. Zhang Heng gave up the idea of joining in the fun and decided to observe more about the beasts in this store.
Zhang Heng was secretly looking forward to encountering species he had never seen before.
