“Creak-”

The door slowly opened, Xu Ran walked out of the grooming room with Sea Wave Flower cradled carefully in both hands.

“Boss, how did it go?” Liu Gu put down the snacks he’d been eating, quickly stood up and walked over to Xu Ran. He looked nervously at his own pet, Sea Wave Flower.

“Grooming is done.” Xu Ran casually handed Sea Wave Flower back to Liu Gu.

Liu Gu reflexively reached out to take her, but suddenly recalled that Sea Wave Flower had been resisting being touched by him, and he paused with his hand in mid-air.

“Gu-dong-”

Sea Wave Flower floated up gently, a tentacle-like appendage resisting the hand that Liu Gu had extended. At the same time, a telepathic message was sent to Liu Gu through the Beast Taming Contract.

“Your hands are so dirty! Go wash them first!”

“Huh?” Liu Gu’s eyes widened in surprise, his eyes filled with joy.

Ever since the contract, Sea Wave Flower had refused to communicate with him. This was the first clear expression of its intentions towards him. fre(e)webnov(l).com

And just as the Wind Lion Dog had predicted, Sea Wave Flower was not resisting physical contact with him anymore, it just wanted him to wash his hands first.

“Okay! I’ll go wash my hands right now!”

With excitement, Liu Gu went to the sink nearby, washed off the greasy snack residue and flavoring powders from his hands, and then excitedly hugged Sea Wave Flower.

This time, Sea Wave Flower didn’t dodge.

It really worked!

This was the first time Liu Gu had held his own pet. He felt like crying. God knows, how worried and saddened he was due to Sea Wave Flower’s aloofness the night before.

“Boss, you’re really amazing.” Liu Gu paid for the grooming service without hesitation, then looked at Xu Ran with admiration. “You actually managed to change Sea Wave Flower’s cold personality through grooming…”

Before he could finish, a somewhat displeased voice echoed in his mind, and Xu Ran also spoke with a strange expression.

“Who said I’m cold and distant?”

“Who said Sea Wave Flower is cold and distant?”

“…Huh?” Being confronted by both man and pet, Liu Gu was taken aback. “But after the contract, Sea Wave Flower was indifferent towards me yesterday…” “That’s because Sea Wave Flower was suppressing its own irritation.” Xu Ran explained with a resigned laugh, “Your Sea Wave Flower had a lot of grime accumulated in its body and couldn’t clean itself, which made it—a creature that loves cleanliness to a fault—irritable and grumpy.”

“It probably ignored you because if it opened its mouth, it wouldn’t be able to resist cursing you and making you even more upset, right?”

“Is that so…” Liu Gu’s eyes widened. After hearing Xu Ran’s explanation, he realized he might have misunderstood Sea Wave Flower.

“I’m sorry, I was not aware of your habits and that caused a misunderstanding,” Liu Gu apologized willingly to his pet, then scratched his head sheepishly, “But why didn’t you want me to touch you?”

On one side, Sea Wave Flower struggled to get away from Liu Gu, trying its best not to touch Liu Gu’s head-scratching hand, while it continued to verbalize its thoughts.

In Liu Gu’s mind, however, the words formed were quite different.

“When was the last time you washed your hair? It’s full of dandruff and grease!” “And you scratch your head with your hand, now there’s dandruff all over your hand!”

“I didn’t touch you yesterday because your hands were really dirty!”

“Go wash your hands right away!!!”

Liu Gu was stunned, looking at his own hands with a doubtful expression on his face.

It looked pretty clean, could it really be that dirty?

Seeing this, Xu Ran, standing nearby, could not hold back a laugh.

Even without understanding Sea Wave Flower’s complaints, he had already guessed what was happening.

It was probably avoiding Liu Gu because it felt that his hands were dirty, right?

After all, this race is extremely particular about cleanliness, and the tiniest of stains can’t escape their detection.

He suddenly found it amusing. Liu Gu didn’t seem like the type to care too much about personal hygiene. Now that he had formed a contract with a cleanliness-obsessed pet beast, there were sure to be some growing pains in their relationship.

While Liu Gu and Sea Wave Flower were engaging in their conversation, Xu Ran held Ziyun, and text appeared before his eyes.

[Host: Xu Ran

Contract Power: First Stage

Contract Pet Beast: Ziyun [View details]

System Skills:

[Plucking Fur (D-level)] (3/10)

Pet Beast Skills:

[★Self-healing Power] (Teachable)

Pleasure Value: 2874.

System Upgrade Experience: 50/1000]

Sea Wave Flower brought a significant increase to Xu Ran’s pleasure value. Now, he had enough pleasure points for two draws.

What’s more important was that Plucking Fur had yielded results again!

The one-star skill, Self-healing Power, is a skill that speeds up the recovery of wounds for Transcendent Beings, and it doesn’t conflict with Ziyun’s current abilities.

Speaking of which…

Xu Ran couldn’t help but glance at Liu Gu.

Since learning Plucking Fur, he had put it into use three times and obtained new abilities twice, both times when he was grooming Liu Gu’s pet beasts.

Could it be… Does Liu Gu have some special Lucky Fish attribute?

Considering this possibility, Xu Ran couldn’t help but stride forward and pat Liu Gu’s shoulder, “Uncle Liu.”

“Huh? What’s up?” Liu Gu looked up at Xu Ran, puzzled.

“Nothing.” Xu Ran nonchalantly let go, suppressing his inner delight.

While patting Liu Gu’s shoulder, he had sneakily done two single draws.

BOTH of them were green-rarity, worth between white and blue rares.

Moreover, both draws yielded the same reward—an energy potion named Energy Abundant Potion.

[Energy Abundant Potion: One dose can make a pet beast’s energy level remain high for three hours. The effects can be stacked, and can be used without limit.]

Two bottles of the Energy Abundant Potion can make Ziyun’s energy level remain high for six hours, like a perpetual motion machine.

If he allowed Ziyun to train, Ziyun could use its skills countless times without worrying about exhaustion. If Ziyun were into a fight, with an endless supply of energy, Ziyun could wear out any opponent…

“Boss, thank you so much for everything this time!” Liu Gu’s hearty laughter brought Xu Ran back to reality. “I’m heading out!”

He had already promised Sea Wave Flower that he would take a good shower when he got back and be more mindful of his personal hygiene in the future. He believed that once he understood more about his pet beast’s habits, their relationship would improve significantly.

“Alright.” Xu Ran nodded, watching Liu Gu go. Then, recalling something, he stopped Liu Gu, “Uncle Liu.”

“What’s up?”

“If you didn’t know about Sea Wave Flower’s habits, how did you think to bring it here for grooming?” Xu Ran asked curiously.

“Oh, that!” Liu Gu patted the head of the Wind Lion Dog, shared the dog’s suggestion with Xu Ran, and then left a bewildered Xu Ran by striding away. “Really… what a stroke of luck!”

Xu Ran couldn’t help but burst into a laugh, then he hurriedly closed the shop door, looking at Ziyun with excited eyes, “Let’s learn a skill. Once we’re done, we’ll go out!”

Having drawn the Energy Abundant Potion, the original plan needed some adjustments.

[Would you like to teach the pet beast skill [*Self-healing Power] to Ziyun?]

[Yes][No]

Is there even a need to ask? Of course, I’ll choose [Yes]!
