Meanwhile, everything is going smoothly in Tianning.
Taotie and Qiongqi took out their respective magic crystals, and the two ferocious beasts sat there like big shots, waiting to see just how capable that dead pig from the Tianning family really was.
If they're not capable enough, then they'll wait until Tianning isn't paying attention and then secretly steal the magic crystal from that pig!
The two ferocious beasts were busy calculating, while the Heavenly Dao watched them with a silly grin. As for Tian Ning, with so much free time, he naturally took out a storybook and enjoyed his carefree life!
However, before Tianning could choose which storybook to read, Qiuqiu suddenly pecked Tianning's head a few times.
Qiongqi's head was buzzing. He had experienced the power of the Phoenix Lord before. Don't underestimate this little sparrow. When it pecks, it feels like your head is going to split open!
"Chirp chirp?"
Tianning didn't react much and didn't seem to be in any pain. She was just wondering what Qiuqiu was trying to do.
Normally, Qiuqiu stays obediently on Tianning's head and doesn't move. It only pecks Tianning like that when something happens.
It chirped twice and then started pecking at Tianning again.
Tianning understood. Her gaze fell on the shop not far away, where the signboard read: Spirit Pet Hall.
It's a place that specializes in selling spirit pets.
Tianning didn't know what had happened inside, but there was definitely something Qiuqiu cared about there, so she simply told Taotie and the others that she would go check it out first and come back in a bit. Anyway, their team was incredibly strong and they weren't afraid of anyone.
Taotie and Qiongqi were eager for Tianning to leave.
With Tianning here, all they can do is wait helplessly. If Tianning leaves... with four huge sacks of magic crystals here, it's unlikely that even if a few are missing, it won't be noticed.
So, once Tianning left, Tiandao watched as the two ferocious beasts would occasionally reach into the sack to reach inside.
Heaven's Dao: "..."
Promising.
When Tianning approached the Spirit Pet Hall, there was no one inside, and the cages holding the spirit pets were all open. There was a bloody smell in the air, and the ground was covered with animal fur and bloodstains, but there were no corpses. He had no idea what had happened here.
Following Qiuqiu's instructions, Tianning continued walking into the inner hall. During this time, she saw the corpse of the waiter inside the shop. It seemed that he had been killed by a demonic beast. His cultivation level was at the Qi Chain stage. Tianning closed his eyes, which remained open in death.
Logically speaking, it would be perfectly normal for an ordinary shop to hire a waiter with this level of cultivation, but this is clearly a large shop. Tian Ning could tell from the fur left by the struggling animals on the ground that the shop actually had some precious spirit pets. Logically speaking, it shouldn't have only assigned a Qi Refining stage waiter to guard the shop.
I wonder whose property this is?
As Tianning walked further in, she heard a crying sound. She thought there was a living person, but when she got closer, she saw a green peacock with feathers drooping on its rear and an apron tied around its lower body.
"Waaah... My lord! Green deserves to die! Green has failed your trust and has not taken good care of the young master!"
The peacock cried its heart out, but Tianning didn't disturb it. He patiently squatted down and waited for the peacock to finish crying.
Tianning didn't even need to ask anything further; the peacock had already explained everything on its own.
It turns out that this creature's owner died, entrusting his child to this peacock before his death. The peacock, in order to ensure that its little owner could hatch successfully, came to this spirit pet shop to avoid trouble.
However, it would never have imagined that the peaceful pet shop would suffer a series of unexpected events tonight.
First, a magical beast suddenly broke in and cruelly killed the waiter, then began to eat the spirit pets that were locked in cages!
Spirit pets and spirit beasts are incomparable. Unlike spirit beasts, which possess combat abilities, spirit pets have their claws clipped from birth and are trained to be docile and obedient to their masters. Therefore, without protection, almost all spirit pets here will be cruelly killed by magical beasts!
But the peacock was different; it had deliberately brought its little master here to avoid trouble.
Just in case, it had secretly hidden the key long ago, and while the monster was eating other spirit pets, it quickly led its little master away.
But its luck was extremely bad today. It had just escaped one wolf's den only to fall into another, running into three cultivators: one man and two women.
The three of them initially treated it as an ordinary spirit pet and didn't pay much attention to it, but when they saw the egg in the peacock's hand, their eyes lit up immediately!
The peacock still doesn't understand how those three people could see its young master's extraordinary nature. Its master had clearly placed a spell on the egg, so ordinary cultivators couldn't see anything special about it!
So, the three of them naturally snatched the peacock's young owner.
