"Woof." A familiar voice came from the door. He Mo's old customer, Dahuang, came.
Dahuang ran in first and went straight to He Mo, barking and circling around He Mo. After several times of care, Dahuang's overall physical condition has improved greatly, and his shiny fur is shining with a healthy and crystal luster.
"How is it? It doesn't hurt anymore, right?" He Mo smiled with curved eyebrows and received a warm hug from Da Huang.
"Ouch." Old Master Qin, who was chasing after him breathlessly, finally caught up. "This guy, when he heard he was coming to you, ran away so fast that I couldn't catch up with him."
After drinking two glasses of warm water in the store, Mr. Qin finally recovered. He felt strange in his heart. Every time he came to Xiao Mo's place, he always felt that his mood had improved and he had the energy to do anything. He was not like being sick at home.
Thinking of He Mo's miraculous skills, even curing Da Huang's illnesses that even the hospital couldn't cure for many years, Grandpa Qin felt it was natural. However, Xiao Mo was too low-key. For so long, only two or three kittens came to his door, and business was really bad.
Although the store here is not far away, its location is not very good and the flow of people is not large. Most exotic animal care stores are located in the city center, and few people bring exotic animals here. Thinking of the purpose of coming here today, Grandpa Qin thought for a moment. If Xiao Mo continues like this, how can he make money? He still has to use this method.
While He Mo was taking care of Da Huang, Old Man Qin was already sitting on the sofa, drowsy. As he got older, he had a light sleep habit. Whenever he came to Xiao Mo's place, he couldn't help wanting to sleep. Last time, he accidentally fell asleep at Xiao Mo's place. He felt so comfortable after waking up. From then on, every time he came to Xiao Mo's place, he would spontaneously find a place to take a nap.
When He Mo finished taking care of Da Huang and walked out, he saw Old Man Qin taking a nap on the sofa with a very comfortable look on his face. He Mo did not wake him up and went to do other things quietly.
Finally, Grandpa Qin was awakened by a slap from his own pet beast. After taking care of Dahuang, he took a nap. After waking up, he looked very proud and couldn't help showing off his shinier fur to Grandpa Qin. He swung his tail, waiting for praise from his owner.
When Old Master Qin woke up in a daze, he noticed that his dog, Big Yellow, was happily wagging its tail. He knew at a glance that his big dog was showing off, so he immediately praised Big Yellow. Big Yellow wagged its tail even more happily, and the man and the dog were more affectionate than a young couple.
After spending time with his beloved exotic beast, Grandpa Qin went to find He Mo. He felt so relaxed after a good sleep, and some of his previous minor ailments were no longer so painful.
"Xiao Mo," Old Man Qin said to He Mo. Da Huang was circling around He Mo's feet, barking, "You've had this shop for a while now. How's business going?"
He Mo recalled the incident yesterday when the leopard's owner came over and, after giving him care, forced him to pay almost fifty times the fee. He refused to pay, and the big man even started crying. Although there weren't many people coming for care, he still made a small profit yesterday. Thinking about it this way, this shop is doing okay. He Mo replied, "Not bad."
Old Master Qin's heart softened even more. This silly boy still wanted to hide it from him: "Xiao Mo, look, this is the advertising space of the recently opened Exotic Beast Fighting Hall. I have found a spot for you." As he said that, Old Master Qin transferred the information to He Mo's computer.
This exotic beast fighting gym was founded by one of Old Master Qin's younger brothers. He and a few old friends also invested in it. They realized He Mo's shop had a vacant advertising space. This fighting gym is currently the largest on Mulan Star, with comprehensive facilities. Once it opens, business is sure to boom. With He Mo's ad right there, everyone will see it, which will undoubtedly boost its profile. How could they not give a good recommendation to an exotic beast care shop recommended by the Qin family?!
What Grandpa Qin could think of, He Mo could naturally think of as well. He was just an ordinary civilian without any power on Mulan Star. He currently had no combat power, except for his extremely strong mental power. However, he still had to rely on exotic beasts to fight against the Zerg. There were many exotic beast care stores on Mulan Star, and many of them were interstellar chains with high visibility. Ordinary people would go to these chain stores for security. Other care stores were also old stores that had been in business for many years and had fixed old customers. It was really difficult for him to develop a new store. For so long, there was only Da Huang and the leopard that he stumbled upon by mistake, and there was really no other business. It was indeed a big problem.
Can. . . . . .
The world of cultivation is a place that emphasizes cause and effect. He Mo subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when he met Old Man Qin's caring gaze, He Mo paused for a moment and then pulled the corner of his mouth with some self-mockery. He was no longer in the world of cultivation, so why should he care about cause and effect?
Ultimately, he was lost.
After so many years of journeying in the world of cultivation, his impression of Mulanxing is actually more or less vague. Grandpa is an unforgettable pain for him. He just wants to fulfill his grandfather's wish and protect him and his grandfather's home. Other people are more like passers-by to him. He subconsciously controls the distance and intersection. It is the appearance and care of Grandpa Qin that makes He Mo truly realize how solid the ground he is standing on and how flesh and blood the people around him are. They are caring for him and loving him in their own unique way, just like Grandpa Qin and Xiao Mou.
He is now in the place where he grew up, not in the world of cultivation.
This is his hometown, his body. This is the place he has been thinking about for hundreds of years. It is a place worth protecting and cherishing, not the illusory world of cultivation.
The past of the cultivation world is already in the past. Perhaps, he should have let it go long ago.
Wasn't it him who was deceiving himself all along?
Without dodging Grandpa Qin's unreserved concern, He Mo looked directly into his caring eyes and thanked him sincerely: "Grandpa Qin, thank you."
In an instant, something in his heart collapsed, and an indescribable sense of fulfillment swept through his mind. Letting go of his obsession, He Mo instantly fell into a mysterious state.
He Mo's eyes flashed with bits and pieces of his years in the world of cultivation. From the uneasiness when he first entered the sect to the heroic spirit when he achieved great success in cultivation, everything quickly faded away. The last scene that emerged was when he returned to Mulan Star again. Bang, something in his mind exploded like fireworks, and in an instant everything returned to calm, as if thousands of years had passed, but in fact only a moment had passed. A dim light lit up somewhere in his dantian, flickering like a lighthouse in the darkness, and then fell into darkness again.
What is this? Even though He Mo had seen many ups and downs over the years, he couldn't help but feel a little dizzy at this moment. It turned out that what he broke was not only his obsession, but also the shackles that had bound his entire soul to this world.
Hiding the surprise on his face, He Mo put the matter aside. The vague aura of a high-ranking person on his body turned into real warmth and gentleness. After discussing the contract with Mr. Qin, He Mo's heart became calm again. After seeing Mr. Qin leave the door, he slowly went back inside and carefully investigated.
Old Master Qin stroked his beard. He hadn't seen the little guy He Mo for a year. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but his aura was becoming more and more intimidating. He always kept a distance from him, and instead looked like someone who had been in a high position for a long time. Just now, his aura suddenly disappeared without a trace. Oh, he might be old. How could Xiao Mo have such a strong aura? Shaking his head and humming a little tune, Old Master Qin slowly took Da Huang out of the nursing store.
