Unorthodox Beast Control

Chapter 267 Cashing in on the bet! (2-in-1)

Time turned and it was the next morning.

Yesterday, the time came for Xu Ran to make a bet with Liu Yu, the owner of the Huanyu foster care shop.

Early in the morning, Zhou Hong took the plump-looking Liondramon to the front of the Star Fire Pet Store along the address given by Xu Ran yesterday.

For Xu Ran and Liu Yu, this is a big bet, and for him, this is the only chance for his pet to recover.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The door of Star Fire Pet Store has not yet opened, but more and more people are already standing outside. These are people who witnessed the argument between Xu Ran and Liu Yu yesterday, or heard others talking about it, so they came here to take a look. Lively people.

Although it is not as powerful as Xueyun City to protect the stability of the city, the biggest feature of Yaomu City is that it is peaceful and stable enough, so there are also many idle people.

While they were waiting, the door of Star Fire Pet Store slowly opened.

"Welcome to Star Fire Pet Store."

Xu Ran walked out of the store and looked at Zhou Hong with a smile.

Behind him stood the three little ones who had followed him.

"Good morning, Boss Xu." Zhou Hong curiously looked through the store door at the natural furnishings inside the store, "Shall we start now?"

Before Xu Ran could answer, someone among the melon-eating crowd couldn't help but speak out.

"Wait a minute! The other rightful owner hasn't come yet!"

"That's right! Let's wait until Boss Liu comes!"

“…”

"Then just wait for Boss Liu, lest he be unconvinced." Xu Ran spread his hands.

"That's okay." Zhou Hong lost his temper and nodded slightly.

Everyone was not kept waiting for too long. Soon, a figure walked quickly from a distance.

The crowd automatically made way for him, and Liu Yu walked up to Xu Ran and Zhou Hong expressionlessly, "Let's get started."

"Please come in." Xu Ran stretched out his hand and gestured towards the store, then turned and entered the store.

Everyone, including the melon-eating crowd, couldn’t wait to follow.

They had never seen this foster care shop called Star Fire. In addition to witnessing the bet with their own eyes, they also came here to see what was different about the foster care shop from Jieyun City.

Entering the store, Zhou Hong glanced around immediately, and then quickly landed on the price tag.

The price of cleaning and care came into view, making his eyebrows slightly raised.

The lion dragon beast is considered a large pet beast. Such a pet beast requires more than 100,000 yuan in the foster care shops in Yaomu City that have launched care services.

The cleaning and care at the Huanyu Nursing Store only cost 10,000 yuan.

This was one of the reasons why he chose Huanyu Nursing Home without hesitation.

And the results are obvious.

Cheap but no good goods, overturned.

Therefore, when he saw that the prices at Star Fire Pet Store were also cheaper than other stores, his original confidence in Star Fire Pet Store suddenly disappeared.

"Haha." Liu Yu on the side laughed out loud when he saw the price list, "Your washing and care prices are cheaper than other stores, who knows how good your skills are."

Seeing the changes in the expressions of the two people and the expressions of other people eating melons, Xu Ran already understood.

For a moment, he felt a little helpless.

He never thought that one day he would be suspected because his charges were too cheap.

"If you look at the prices of foster care and sparring, you should know that our store's charges are not cheap." Xu Ran spread his hands helplessly, "In fact, the price of care in other cities is cheaper than that in Yaomu City."

"Star Fire Pet Store now has three branches in different cities, and all prices are the same."

Three branches in three different cities?

Just hearing these words, everyone couldn't help but feel a little more surprised.

What kind of confidence can you do this?

After Xu Ran's explanation, they turned their attention to the prices of foster care and sparring, and indeed discovered that the prices of these two services were much more expensive than the most expensive foster care shop in Yaomu City.

So...they just have unified pricing for chain stores?

For a moment, everyone couldn't help but look at Liu Yu with a somewhat unkind look.

I was misled by this guy again!

Liu Yu opened his mouth, then closed it silently.

He suddenly felt that it was better not to speak.

No matter what, it still depends on the results of washing and care.

No matter how fanciful this young boy's words are, if he can't restore the bald lion dragon beast in the end, he will definitely lose!

Thinking of this, Liu Yu glared at Xu Ran and said nothing.

As for Zhou Hong, after hearing Xu Ran’s explanation, his confidence in Star Fire Pet Store has been rekindled in his heart.

"Boss Xu, I will leave my lion dragon to you next." He gently pushed the lion dragon and motioned for it to follow Boss Xu. Zhou Hong had a look of entrustment on his face.

"Don't worry, I will do my best." Xu Ran smiled, stretched out his hand and touched the lion dragon's huge head, "Do you want to accompany the nurse, or wait in the lounge outside?"

"Can you accompany me?" Zhou Hong was stunned for a moment, then nodded without hesitation, "Then I choose to accompany you!"

Although he already has a lot of confidence in Star Fire Pet Store, he would feel more at ease if he could wash and care for the pet in front of his eyes and watch the whole process of washing and care with his own eyes.

Thinking of this, Zhou Hong couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Liu Yu.

The big reason why Liondramon was cared for like this by the Huanyu Nursing Store is that the Huanyu Nursing Store does not allow animal masters to accompany him when he is being cared for.

By the time the liondramon was delivered to him after the cleaning, it was already too late to regret it.

Liu Yu's eyes also flickered slightly at this moment.

Can I accompany you for cleaning and care?

He wanted to see what was different about this guy's care.

"Since I can accompany you, boss Xu wouldn't mind if I went in to take a look, right?" Liu Yu sneered and spoke slowly.

"This is not decided by me." Xu Ran shook his head, and then looked at Zhou Hong, "The lion dragon beast is Mr. Zhou Hong's pet beast. He has the final say on how to care for it and who is allowed to accompany him."

After hearing Xu Ran's words, Liu Yu turned around and forced out a smile.

"Mr. Zhou, look..."

Zhou Hong hesitated.

Instinctively, he didn't want this guy who had shaved off his pet animal to follow him into the bathroom.

But thinking of the bet between Liu Yu and Xu Ran, Zhou Hong knew that doing so was indeed a good choice for both of them.

"In that case, Boss Liu, please follow me." Zhou Hong said in a deep voice, and then looked at the melon-eating crowd who were also eager to try, "Everyone, please stop talking. So many people will also affect Boss Xu."

With one sentence, Zhou Hong instantly quelled the crowd's desire to follow suit, and Zhou Hong nodded towards Xu Ran, indicating that it was ok.

"Please follow me." Xu Ran turned around and led the lion and dragon beast towards the nursing room, followed closely by Zhou Hong and Liu Yu.

Soon, the door to the bathroom was closed, leaving only the people outside the door staring with big eyes.

"Just wait." In the crowd, a middle-aged man with half-rimmed glasses and a gentle temperament pushed up his glasses and spoke slowly, "With a body like Liondramon, the cleaning time will take about half an hour."

"In half an hour, we will know the outcome of this bet."

"Boss Liu, why did you abandon the store and come here?" Someone recognized the owner of Fengyun Nursing Home and joked with a smile.

"Come here and have a look." Liu Fengyun chuckled and his eyes fell on the price list of Star Fire Pet Store again.

If this price is unified across cities, then the young man who dares to offer such a price is quite confident...

There was a bit more interest in his eyes.

After seeing the lion dragon beast with his own eyes, Liu Fengyun knew that even if he tried his best, he might be able to barely maintain its condition.

How far can Boss Xu achieve this?

He was curious.

——

"Come, lie down here."

In the nursing room, under Xu Ran's instructions, the lion-dragon lay down on the nursing table where large pet animals were being cared for, waiting for Xu Ran's next move.

Although its race name is both a lion and a dragon, this liondramon has a very stable temper, and will strictly follow the instructions of its master or others.

"Great, I'll give you some goodies later." Xu Ran gently patted the lion dragon's big head, then turned around and began to prepare it for washing.

In the corner of the nursing room, Zhou Hong quickly recovered from the surprise of seeing the inside of the nursing room for the first time. He clenched his hands slightly and looked at his pet beast.

He was curious about the care that Liondramon would undergo next, and at the same time felt very nervous.

Can this boss Xu really do what he says?

Liu Yu's expression on the side was a little more solemn.

Without contrast, there is no harm.

From the bathroom of Star Fire Pet Store, he saw two words.

major.

There were many instruments and items that he didn't recognize, and he could vaguely feel that the young man in front of him did have good cleaning methods as he said.

Could it be that... I will lose this bet?

Thinking of this, Liu Yu suddenly felt restless.

Once they lose, Huanyu Nursing Store will recommend customers who need care to Star Fire Pet Store to make wedding dresses for others.

If you think about it for a moment, you can understand how big of a blow this has had on Huanyu Nursing Home.

No, you won’t necessarily lose!

Liu Yu took a deep breath, forced himself to cheer up, and stared at Xu Ran who was making preparations.

He was the one responsible for Limon's situation, and he knew it all too well.

After being pruned like this, there is no other way but to let the lion dragon slowly grow its own hair and grow new hair.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu's eyes rekindled some confidence.

I haven’t lost yet!

Ignoring Liu Yu's rich inner drama, Xu Ran quickly prepared a bath solution specially prepared for the lion dragon beast.

As he said just now, in order to reward Liondramon for being obedient, he specially added a resource that can make the mood better in the bath to alleviate the psychological shadow caused by Liondramon being mutilated. .

After adjusting the water temperature to the temperature most suitable for the lion dragon, Xu Ran grabbed the shower head with one hand, sprayed the bath liquid evenly on the lion dragon's body, and gently brushed the lion dragon with the other hand. The hair of the dragon beast allows the bath solution to penetrate deeper into the hair better.

The water with a comfortable temperature suddenly wet the fur of Liondramon. The right feeling of warmth made Liondramon couldn't help but feel excited, as if his whole body had become warm.

The bath liquid continues to seep into the depths of the hair and skin, eroding the dirt that was not taken away by rough cleaning in the Huanyu Nursing Home, and then the dirt flows down the gaps in the hair roots, and gathers under the washstand. A light gray stream of water.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Hong's expression changed slightly.

He could naturally see that this was just a rinse and basic cleaning for his lion dragon beast.

But the problem is that Liondramon has clearly experienced a cleansing yesterday.

Even though the cleaning effect was terrible,...

Didn't you even clean it up?

Thinking of this, Zhou Hong turned his head and looked at Liu Yu, his eyes even more unkind.

Liu Yu wiped the slight sweat on his forehead, already feeling great pressure.

Yesterday, he had clearly cleaned both sides of Liondramon inside and out, but there was still so much dirt that could not be cleaned?

Or was it that Liondramon got dirty again in the past night?

Feeling Zhou Hong's unkind gaze, Liu Yu knew that it could only be the former.

This made him sit on the wax even more.

It’s just that the pruning is incomplete, but you haven’t even washed it thoroughly? !

Before he could think about it, a pleasant voice suddenly echoed in the bathroom.

"Woohoo~"

That was the voice of Liondramon.

Under Xu Ran's hands that gently rubbed the roots of the hair, Liondramon felt waves of relief throughout his body, like an electric shock.

Every hair follicle is cared for with the gentlest techniques, and the feeling is like returning to swaddling.

Liondramon's eyes slowly became blurred, and a relaxed look appeared on his face.

[Pleasure Points+30 from Liondramon]

[Pleasure Points+30 from Liondramon]

[from… ]

Seeing a series of reminders pop up, the smile on Xu Ran's face became even brighter.

Within two days of opening, he saw his first Pleasure Points coming in.

Yesterday, I helped the raccoons take care of them for most of the day. Although they obtained a lot of skill fragments, because the raccoons are all wild Transcendent creatures, they had no Pleasure Points at all.

The current payment is the first Pleasure Points from Yaomu City Star Fire Pet Store.

Thinking of this, Xu Ran looked at the lion dragon beast with a more friendly look.

The strength in his hands unconsciously became gentler and gentler.

As a result, Liondramon's trembling became a little more intense.

That comfortable feeling makes it seem like the whole body has become lighter.

It was obviously of the dark element, but at this moment it suddenly felt the joy of the wind element.

"Wow~~"

Another sound, weirder than before, was forced out of its mouth with difficulty.

Zhou Hong immediately cut off the sharing of perception between himself and the lion dragon beast, and looked at Xu Ran with a bit of surprise and surprise.

What's surprising is that although Liondramon has a stable and obedient personality, he has never shown this side in front of him.

The surprising part is that the washing and care in front of me can make Liondramon so comfortable, and it must really be able to solve Liondramon's problem!

Liu Yu, on the other side, turned darker after seeing this scene.

He clearly remembered that when he was washing Liondramon yesterday, although Liondramon showed no resistance, he just kept lying on the washing table without giving any feedback, just like a corpse.

And now...

Looking at the big guy whose body was constantly shaking, showing great pleasure, and even his eyes became blurred, Liu Yu seemed to feel invisible slaps on his face one after another.

He couldn't help but clenched his hands slightly, and even his breathing became a little faster.

Damn it! !

Rinse again…hair care…deep hair repair…

Each step was completed with Xu Ran's methodical movements, and the strange voice of the lion dragon beast continued to echo in the washing room.

Liu Yu's expression changed from the initial shame and anger to numbness at this moment.

Looking coldly at Xu Ran, who had a set of washing and care procedures that were many times more professional than his own. He was very fluent and entertaining at the same time. Liu Yu still had the final persistence in his heart.

That is, after going through so many steps, the length of Liondramon's hair has not changed at all. The places that were bald before are still very bald at this moment.

He hasn't lost yet!

Soon, after completing all the hair care, Xu Ran took out a pair of delicate and slender hand scissors and a long comb while the hair was still wet.

After carefully combing the lion dragon's hair into hundreds of different areas, Xu Ran grabbed the hair in one of the areas and cut it off with a "click".

As a strand of wet hair fell to the ground under the sink, the entire wash room fell silent.

"This..." Zhou Hong was just glad that he had found a great cleaning service, but now he couldn't help but stand up, clenching his fists and looking at Xu Ran, "What are you doing?"

"Hahahaha, how obvious, he is shearing the lion dragon beast!" Liu Yu on the side couldn't help laughing after the initial shock.

Cut!

Cut more!

He was still thinking about what method Xu Ran would use to make the lion dragon beast grow hair.

Unexpectedly, Xu Ran had no such idea at all, but continued to shear the lion and dragon beast.

You are already so bald with a haircut, will it make you even balder if you cut it again?

Thinking of this, Liu Yu felt so happy.

It can be seen that this guy named Xu Ran really has two brushes in washing and care. It just so happens that their Huanyu Nursing Store lacks talents in this field, so they asked him to work for him for a year. This time, he made a lot of money from his bet!

Wait until a year later, learn his skills, and then let this annoying guy get out!

In an instant, Liu Yu had even made arrangements for the bet to end in one year.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but grin, but he heard Xu Ran speak calmly.

"Don't panic." Xu Ran shook the scissors in his hand, "It's the same pruning, but the difference may be huge. Just like after others wash and protect, I can still wash out the dirt."

The smile on Liu Yu's face disappeared instantly.

At this moment, he felt that he had been stepped on.

After Zhou Hong's initial excitement, he calmed down a bit.

He had to admit that the moment he saw Xu Ran taking out the scissors to cut off the lion dragon's hair, he had learned from the past and instantly felt that Xu Ran would also cut off the lion dragon.

But as Xu Ran said, there are differences between pruning and cleaning.

Xu Ran's previous care gave him a lot of confidence, and the bet between Xu Ran and Liu Yu was not small, so there was no reason not to go all out, making him willing to trust Xu Ran again.

However, Zhou Hong slowly sat back down in his seat, but he still couldn't hold it back and warned, "Boss Xu, please be gentle~"

"Don't worry, my hand is very stable." Xu Ran smiled, stretched out his hand and touched the lion dragon's head to soothe its mood.

His hair was trimmed again. Although the big guy didn't speak, he became visibly nervous.

The minor disturbance in the bathroom has passed, and Xu Ran's pruning continues.

Strands of hair fell to the ground when he picked up the knife and gradually piled up into a hill. The dark hair looked particularly dazzling on the white marble floor tiles.

Looking at the pile of hair, even though he not only told himself to trust Boss Xu, the corners of Zhou Hong's mouth still kept twitching.

At this moment, he really wanted to know what Boss Xu was going to do.

However, looking at Xu Ran with extremely focused eyes and his technique that was so fast that afterimages appeared, Zhou Hong was worried about the unpredictable consequences that his random interference might bring.

Liu Yu on the side looked at the hair under Xu Ran's feet, and the smile on his face became more and more proud.

The total amount of hair that the other party trimmed was even two or three times the amount of hair that he trimmed yesterday.

According to the other party's haircut, this lion dragon beast should be completely bald, right?

No matter what the other party does, you will win in this bet!

"Click..."

After gently cutting the last cut, Xu Ran wiped the sweat from his forehead, carefully checked the condition of each hair section, then breathed a sigh of relief and put the scissors in his hand back on the tool table.

Then, he picked up the comb and began to gently comb the lion's hair.

While removing the broken hairs hidden among the hair, the hair that was originally messy due to trimming gradually began to show real styling effects.

It was a body of dark, fine hair that was close to the skin. Although it was not long, it lay extremely softly, perfectly setting off the lion dragon's strong figure.

Although it is completely different from Lidramon's past image, this new image is not inferior, but has a fresh feeling of changing the skin.

Zhou Hong's clenched hands slowly loosened.

Although the cleaning process of Lion Dragon Beast has not been completely completed, seeing this, he already knows that this is the cleaning effect that he can accept.

To say it is acceptable seems a bit harsh.

It should be said that he was very satisfied that it could be pruned like this on the original basis!

Finally, with Xu Ran's drying and styling, the lion dragon beast's care was completed.

After drying, the soft texture of the fur of the lion dragon became more and more obvious, reflecting a dark light under the light like satin, and vividly showing the convex surface of the lion dragon's muscles.

"Wow~~~"

Seeing his new appearance in the mirror, Liondramon showed a dull expression at first, and even the remaining confusion in his eyes dissipated a lot.

After confirming that the new image in the mirror was really him, Liondramon's mood became obviously much more exciting.

Apparently, it also likes the new look.

"The cleaning is over." After wiping his hands, Xu Ran walked up to Zhou Hong and smiled slightly, "I hope you are satisfied."

"I'm very satisfied!" Zhou Hong nodded heavily without hesitation.

Liu Yu on the side had a dark complexion.

Both the animal master and the pet are satisfied, which is the best proof of the cleaning effect.

Obviously, he lost this bet.

As the three of them walked out of the nursing room with Liondramon, the people who had been waiting for a long time outside the door couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.

The way Liondramon entered, they were still deeply impressed at the moment, and then looked at the Liondramon who came out...

It's like a new pet!

For a moment, all the beast masters who also needed care for their own pet beasts were all moved.

The case is right in front of us. Even the bald lions and dragons can be reborn in this store. So what will happen to our own pet animals if they come here to be cared for and cared for?

Thinking of this, they couldn't bear it any longer, and quickly stepped forward and surrounded Xu Ran.

"Boss Xu, how long is your store open every day?"

"Boss Xu, do you have a membership card here? I'll apply for one!"

"Boss Xu, you..."

"Don't worry, everyone!" Looking at the crowd gathered around, Xu Ran waved his hands in confusion, "Our store's business hours are right outside the door. There are no membership cards or other recharge services. The price list is on the wall, and consumption is transparent."

"If you have any other questions, please come one by one."

"Then Boss Xu, can I let my pet beast come and take care of me now?" An impatient beast master hurriedly spoke, and the other beast masters also nodded.

Obviously, as long as Xu Ran says "yes", they will summon their pet beasts over the next moment.

"I suggest you come back tomorrow." Hearing this, Xu Ran shook his head, "I already have an appointment today."

He could already vaguely see the raccoon clan standing outside the door waiting quietly without entering.

Today, he still has to cleanse the members of the raccoon clan who did not cleanse yesterday, but he does not have time to receive so many guests.

After hearing what Xu Ran said, everyone's excitement calmed down a little.

The next moment, a voice came from the crowd.

"Boss Liu, where are you going?"

As the words fell, everyone looked at the door of the store.

Liu Yu was half-bent and had already stepped out of the store with one foot.

Obviously, he wanted to run away.

Realizing that he had been discovered, Liu Yu looked at the crowd angrily, but could not find who had shouted out just now.

He retracted his stepped foot in embarrassment and coughed slightly to cover up his embarrassment, "I suddenly remembered that there was something urgent in the store, so I left first."

"Don't leave!" Xu Ran stepped forward quickly, "Boss Liu, you haven't forgotten our bet, right?"

This is a way he finally found to increase his popularity. He can't let this guy run away!

With the top three Huanyu foster care stores in Yaomu City attracting traffic, the popularity of Star Fire Pet Store can be increased by at least 5%!

"Bet...I..." Liu Yu's expression changed slightly, and he was a little hesitant for a moment.

"There are so many of us watching, Boss Liu, businessmen must be honest." In the crowd, Liu Fengyun pushed up his glasses and suddenly spoke.

Liu Yu's expression changed slightly, and there was a fierce struggle in his eyes. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I will follow the previous bet and let the guests of Huanyu Nursing Home come to you if they need care!"

After saying that, Liu Yu lost his composure and turned around and left without hesitation.

Looking at the other person's leaving figure, Xu Ran nodded with satisfaction.

Well...that's right!
