Astral Pet Store (WN)

While the Ryan family was seething with anger—far away in the distance in the universe…

Inside a splendid academy on an enormous planet.

“Sir, it’s been detected that a new student’s astral thought was destroyed.”

“Where did the student die?”

“Her expenses record showed that the last known place she visited was a tier-3 planet in Zeruprun, named Rhea.”

“Got it. Ask the investigators to find out why, immediately.”

…

At the same time, in a certain dangerous place within the Demigod Burial.

Su Ping was fighting and training with a lot of pets.

They had entered the deepest parts of that place. Su Ping had even encountered beasts beyond the Star State during their outing. The Federation would consider them to be on par with Star Lords!

He was attacked the moment the beast took action.

The laws didn’t work on the Star Lord, at all. Su Ping couldn’t even understand the way the enemy attacked.

He had to look for other Star State beasts to spar.

As for the pets to be trained, Fate State beasts were enough for them; the weaker ones among them could activate their potential in the presence of Void State beasts. The ones at the Fate State would not benefit from it; they might even kill the beasts before they could react.

If so, they wouldn’t make too much progress even if they died a thousand times more.

I think my Fist of Exorcist is about to rise to the third level.

Su Ping’s own combat ability was also soaring during the training. Apart from his improved sword technique, he felt that his fist technique was about to break through.

The Fist of Exorcist’s third level contained the power of laws and was quite brutal even among Star State fist techniques.

I’ll probably grasp another law if I can make a breakthrough to the third level… Su Ping thought.

However, it seems that I must grasp the law on the third level first for the breakthrough to happen. It seems to be quite a domineering law…

Su Ping’s repetitive punches helped him deepen his understanding of the fist technique. He vaguely realized that, even though it was just a simple punch, it contained a mysterious and unstoppable law.

Su Ping knew he wasn’t exactly talented, but his experiences were unparalleled, while he absorb nutrition during the training sessions.

…

In the outside world—

Someone was already waiting in line outside of the shop when Su Ping went outside.

Filius had just walked out of the Stars Pet Shop; he was dumbfounded after seeing that.

Didn’t the boss say that business hours were over?

Why was someone standing outside of his shop in the afternoon?

Had they started queuing already?

Filius was stunned for a moment, then remembered his Green Alligator. His expression changed as he joined the line.

His Green Alligator had been found to be Class A. The unbelievable improvement in a single day could have only been carried out by a master trainer in Su Ping’s shop.

Rather, master trainers may not even have such ability. Perhaps only the three-starred grandmaster trainers did.

Standing for a day outside was just a minor price to ask Su Ping to train his pets again.

Filius chose to stand in line as he thought about that.

However, standing just like that was rather boring. He looked at the passersby; all of them were surprised, obviously not expecting that anyone would queue in front of a closed shop.

The young man ahead of him turned around and asked with a smile, “Bro, do you plan to buy a pet tomorrow?”

Filius raised his eyebrows and said casually, “More or less.”

He wouldn’t hesitate if he could buy a pet, but he preferred to spend his money on training after having experienced Su Ping’s pet services.

Besides, he had only paid a hundred million to improve his pet to Class A. It was definitely a bargain!

He didn’t doubt that a few more training sessions would help his pet surpass Class A!

At this moment, a voice came from behind them.

“Lily, this way.”

Filius turned his head, only to find that two women were walking close; one of them was the shop owner from the Ryan family he had seen earlier.

“People showed up this early? It’s a good thing we’re close; we can’t let other people take advantage.” Cleo was rather unhappy as she looked at the men in the line. They were already queuing before the day was over. It wasn’t hard to imagine how busy Su Ping’s shop would be.

What infuriated her the most was the shop’s uncanny rules.

She had to queue up by herself!

Being a member of the Ryan family, she was treated as a VIP in every shop and entertainment venue on that planet!

Still, she was no different from an ordinary person at the moment, without any privileges.

“Sister, didn’t you say that he’s a mean guy? Can we get more pets? I don’t have room for more,” said the purple-haired girl next to her.

She had been dragged over, although she didn’t want to be there.

She was in quite the rush to fly back to her academy and see her family to show her pair of Class A Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons. However, her cousin dragged her to wait in the queue.

Cleo snorted and said, “You can train the pets. Just terminate the contracts of your weaker pets if we find high-spec goods. I’ll cover you while you’re in a weakened state after the termination.

“But if you want to buy a pet… you don’t have any free room for pets either, and you’ll also become weak if you terminate the contracts with your old pets.” Lily was confused.

“Humph. I don’t have to do anything by myself. Who would dare to touch me with my identity?”

“That’s true. You’re the best, Cousin Cleo.”

Cleo raised her head and looked at the shop’s closed door. She angrily remembered Su Ping’s face again, which remained impassive, even considering her looks or identity.

The guys she usually met had always behaved like sycophants, or gentlemen, in order to impress her, because of her appearance and background.

Some fools chose the opposite approach and purposefully ignored her to win her attention.

However, she saw through their schemes right away and got even sicker of them.

This time, she found that Su Ping really ignored her.

She was so charming, and had such a powerful background, yet the guy ignored him. That was unacceptable!

You have successfully infuriated me!

Cleo was angry, and even angrier to see people queuing up outside of the guy’s shop so early; she wasn’t happy about his flourishing business.

However, there was no way that she would leave her spot in the line, either.

How could she let other people take advantage?

“Cousin, are we going to stand here until tomorrow?” asked Lily in a low voice.

Cleo began to seethe the moment she heard that. “The boss of this shop is so horrible. He asks customers to queue in person and forbids line cutting or spot swapping. That’s outrageous!”

“Well, I was just asking.”

“I’m not mad at you; I’m mad at this hop!”

Filius, who stood in front of the two women, felt awkward once he heard what they said; even the members of the Ryan family had to wait obediently. He felt lucky he didn’t go home earlier, or he wouldn’t have gotten a place, no matter how early he arrived the next morning.

A girl with beautiful, silver long hair approached them at that moment.

Cleo sensed something and looked back. Her expression reflected a slight change as she recognized that she belonged to the Laiyefa family.

“Hello, may I ask if you’re a lady from the Laiyefa family?” Cleo, being a shop owner, quickly extended her hand and greeted the stranger. She was quite surprised to see anyone from the Laiyefa family, the rulers of Zeruprun, the solar system which Rhea was part of.

Naturally, the Ryan family was subordinate to the Laiyefa family.

“Yes.”

Mia offered a modest nod. She was reminded of Layne—whom she had seen earlier when she saw Cleo’s hair color and emblem—then casually said, “Hello.”

Cleo instantly sensed that the girl seemed to have some sort of problem with her, but they had never met before; so, the only conclusion was that she had a problem with her family.

Cleo asked awkwardly, “Nice to meet you. You’re here to…?”

“Wait in line,” replied Mia briefly.

She had intended to return to her hotel, but she abandoned her plan of resting in her hotel when she saw several customers outside of Su Ping’s shop.

The place would probably be crowded by the time she returned the next day if she did make the trip back.

“Well…” Cleo was somewhat unable to follow up with a proper reply.

Someone from the Laiyefa family is waiting in line here?

She was rendered speechless in the end, not expecting Su Ping to have the gall to refuse someone from the Laiyefa family; no wonder he didn’t care about the Ryan family backing her.

That guy was a real piece of work, unbelievably cocky!

Filius heard Cleo’s greeting and the name “Laiyefa”; he was just as shocked. He didn’t expect to meet someone from such a powerful family, led by a Star Lord; they controlled an entire solar system!

He peeped back, not daring to stare at her.

He didn’t know what to say. He had complained about the queuing earlier, but then people from the Ryan family and the Laiyefa family had joined him. It was definitely an astonishing scene!

The other customers in line also fell silent after witnessing the interactions. They felt lucky that they didn’t go home, or they might not have found a great spot if they showed up the next day.

As time went by, more and more people joined the queue.

It was the first time going to that street for some passersby; they didn’t know what had happened previously, but they asked around, seeing that many people gathered in front of Su Ping’s shop.

Everyone was immediately dumbfounded by the news; all of them went and joined the queue, too.

Even more customers joined the queue when the news was further publicized.

The news was reported by various news outlets. The unexpected appearance of ten Class A Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons shocked all the residents in Woffett.

Some media disseminated the news throughout the Kamp Continent via their channels.
