Unorthodox Beast Control

Chapter 308 Du Huayan’s letter

"Yes, it's the Star Fire Pet Store." Qiu Yue nodded with a sigh on his face, "If it weren't for the poor location, the entrance to the bathroom wouldn't be so deserted."

After saying that, she seemed to realize something and looked at Du Qian with some surprise, "You seem to know this store?"

"Ah~ I do know." Du Qian rubbed his eyebrows, "If it's him, it wouldn't be surprising."

Hearing this, Qiu Yue couldn't help but feel strong curiosity in her heart. She opened her mouth, and just as she was about to ask, Jiang Min, who had come to her senses at the side, spoke quickly and interrupted her words.

"Brother Qi'an, can we jump in line and wash and care first?"

Jiang Min clasped his hands together and made a cute expression, "Brother Qi An is so popular. The queue is so long. I have been waiting for more than an hour~"

"Thank you for your support." Du Qian had a smile on his face. Just when Jiang Min thought he was going to agree, he said with his smile unchanged, "But you can't jump in line."

Jiang Min: "..."

Looking past Jiang Min, Du Qian looked at the long queue behind him, with a hint of helplessness on his face.

He was well aware of the speed of his washing. The number of people queuing up at the moment was enough for him to wash for two days, not to mention that there would be more people queuing up later.

With a slight sigh, Du Qian gestured to the assistant not far away.

The assistant understood and quickly handed over a speaker.

Taking the horn, Du Qian spoke loudly, "Dear beastmaster friends, thank you all for your trust and love in me, but there are too many people queuing up now."

"The queue is too long, and the time everyone needs to wait will also increase. You may even queue for two days and not get your turn. This is a situation that neither you nor I want to see."

"So, I hope everyone can go to other washrooms to try washing. The washrooms that can stand here are worthy of everyone's trust."

Du Qian's voice paused slightly, "If you really don't know which one to choose, you can go deeper. There is a bathroom called 'Star Fire Pet Store', which is worth trying."

As soon as this was said, there was applause from the team.

These words can be said to open up the situation and make everyone have a better impression of this young carer.

Jiang Min's frustration at being refused to jump in line dissipated instantly. Looking at Du Qian's handsome face so close to him, his eyes had turned into stars.

Even Qiu Yue showed an expression of surprise and admiration.

It is indeed not easy for Du Qian to be able to say such things.

After Du Qian's words fell, people at the back of the team soon chose to leave sparsely, and most of them went deeper.

They wanted to try the laundry room that Du Qian personally recommended.

Seeing this scene, Du Qian smiled slightly, threw the speaker to his assistant, turned around and walked into the nursing room.

The assistant blinked and then quickly followed in.

"Qi'an, why are you doing this?" He complained with some confusion, "It's okay to just push the customers out of the queue, why do you specifically recommend them to find another caregiver? Isn't this slandering the enemy!"

"This is your first time participating in a skin care exhibition since you succeeded your sister as the chief carer of our Baihua Nursing Home. It is very important for you to win the title of 'Saint Care Master'!"

"I know." Du Qian smiled and began to clean the sink in preparation for the next wash.

"I'll do it, I'll do it." When the assistant saw this, he quickly stepped forward to take over the work, and complained while cleaning, "I know you are still doing this? I have never heard of that 'Star Fire Pet Store', why do you help him?"

Du Qian smiled and said nothing, looking at the assistant who was cleaning up and complaining. He couldn't help but think of the letter sent by his sister a few days ago.

Due to the invitation of Yaomu City Beast Master Association, his sister, who was the chief carer of Baihua Nursing Home, moved to Yaomu City to open a branch of Baihua Nursing Home on behalf of the Du family in Minghui City. He was also promoted to the chief carer.

My sister who went to Yaomu City did not cut off contact with Minghui City. She would send letters back regularly, writing about her various experiences in Yaomu City and her care and greetings to her family.

In his sister's last letter, Du Qian noticed something that his sister mentioned that concerned him a lot.

In Yaomu City, there is a foster care shop called Star Fire Pet Store.

The owner of this store, like my sister, is not a native of Yaomu City, but came to open a branch at the invitation of Yaomu City Beast Tamer Association.

In the letter, my sister repeatedly used words such as "magical", "clever" and "amazing" to describe the other party's washing and care skills, and the other party was also a young man.

This made Du Qian silently record this foster care shop in his mind, and regretted that the other party was not in Minghui City, so he could not see what the other party's care skills were like.

And now, he actually heard the same name in Minghui City.

Combined with the amazing state of the girl's pet after being cared for, Du Qian was at least 70% sure that the other person was the person his sister was talking about.

Although he didn't know why the other party appeared here, Du Qian's desire to see the other party's washing and care skills was probably satisfied.

No, just knowledge is not enough.

How can such a powerful caregiver not compete on the stage?

Business is deserted because I got a bad spot in the lottery?

It doesn’t matter, I’ll share my customers with you!

He wanted to see, under the same saturated customer flow situation, which of the two could get more praise from the beast master customers for their care.

"Qi'an, it's ready." The assistant spoke loudly as he quickly completed the cleaning work of the sink.

"Help me call the next guest in." Du Qian rolled up his sleeves to the middle of his arms and spoke slowly.

"Huh? Okay!" The assistant was stunned for a moment, then his eyes became a little more joyful, and he walked quickly towards the bathroom.

He has partnered with Duqian for a long time and is very familiar with Duqian's habits.

Under normal circumstances, Du Qian would roll up his sleeves on both sides to his elbows when washing, but sometimes, Du Qian would roll up his sleeves further, to the middle of his upper arms.

Often this time means that he finally wants to take action.

Originally, the assistant was worried because of Du Qian's initiative to disperse the guests, but now he felt a little more confident.

Du Qian is serious about it, and it is inevitable to win the Holy Hand of Cleansing!

Pushing open the door of the nursing room, the assistant shouted out the door.

——

"Next person!"

After seeing off yet another satisfied guest, Xu Ran waved to the queue that was beginning to take shape outside the door, so the beastmaster guest at the front of the queue stepped forward with anticipation, while the other guests in line were because they had just been washed. The completed pet beast became commotion again.

Originally, they were a little suspicious of this carer whom Du Qian recommended but had never heard of and was even unfamiliar with the foster care shop.

But as a pet beast that entered came out with a new look, this doubt had already turned into confidence and strong expectations.

This protector is truly capable!

At this moment, many people silently thanked Du Qian in their hearts.

That young man, he really recommends it to experts!

"Brother Xu, I was recommended by Du Qian. You have to wash my pet better!" Entering the bathroom, the new customer smiled and took the initiative to speak.

"Don't worry, I will do my best to deal with every cleaning." Xu Ran said with a smile, but there was a strange flash in his eyes.

The other party probably thought that he and Du Qian were very familiar, so he played such an emotional card.

but…

He really didn't know the protector named Du Qian.

An hour ago, he was equally surprised when he saw the team that suddenly appeared outside the store.

After learning that these customers were recommended by a caregiver named Du Qian, he felt even more complicated.

However, Xu Ran had no clue as to why Du Qian did this.

After knowing that Du Qian came from Baihua Nursing Store and that his surname was Du, Xu Ran roughly guessed the whole story.

Previously in Yaomu City, the owner of Baihua Nursing Store was called Du Huayan. She was invited to open a branch in Yaomu City, and her headquarters was located in Minghui City.

Obviously, the Baihua Nursing Store where Du Qian is located is this headquarters.

Moreover, when Du Huayan was chatting with him before, she accidentally mentioned that she had a younger brother who was good at washing and caring...

If nothing else, this protector named Du Qian is Du Huayan's younger brother.

He learned about his existence from Du Huayan in some way, so he helped him at this time?

Thinking of this, Xu Ran's face couldn't help but feel a little sad.

As soon as I arrived in Minghui City, I owed someone a favor.

After the cleaning and care exhibition is over, I have to go to Baihua Nursing Store to thank you.

While thinking, the movements in his hands were also slow. With Zi Yun's cooperation, he had completed the preparations for washing the pet to be cared for.

This guest's pet beast is a wind-type flying weasel.

Although it is only the size of a palm, it is the leader among the wind system leader races. It has amazing speed and powerful offensive methods, and can steal lives from all appearances.

But at this moment, after the ruthless killer of the wind element was soaked in Xu Ran's bath liquid, he quickly revealed his flawless side. His body trembled unconsciously, his face was full of soothing and relaxed expressions, and his eyes showed Out of the mist and confusion.

Not long after, a gentle and strange sound resounded in the bathroom and faintly came out through the door of the bathroom.

"Squeak~~~"

——

"Huh~ Okay, your pet's care is over." Liu Cang shook his sore wrist and looked at the guests waiting aside.

"Let me take a look." The customer who had been waiting for a while hurried forward and looked at his radiant pet, with a look of satisfaction on his face, "Boss Liu's washing and care skills are still as good as before. ah!"

"Haha, thank you." Liu Cang smiled and waved his hand, "This is what it should be."

"Anyway, I really appreciate Boss Liu's care." The customer hugged his pet with a happy face, "Do you need me to go out and help you call the next customer?"

"Um...Thank you very much, no need for now." Liu Cang shook his head.

"Then I won't disturb Boss Liu. I'll take my leave now." The guest nodded and walked out of the nursing room with his pet.

When the door of the nursing room closed again, Liu Cang sat down on the ground, waving his hands, with a helpless look on his face, "As I get older, my physical fitness has indeed declined a lot."

"In the past, it was easy to take care of more than a dozen pet beasts in a row. Now, only a few of them need a rest."

As he spoke, the six-pointed star array flashed behind him, and a pet beast that looked a bit like a golden mushroom quickly appeared.

Light system Transcendent level·Leading race, Golden Light Mushroom.

Liu Cang is also a beast master, but his qualifications are very average and he doesn't have much desire to become stronger. He contracted a light beast with healing ability as an auxiliary for his care.

As Liu Cang stretched out his hand towards the Golden Light Mushroom, the Golden Light Mushroom skillfully released a ball of light mist, covering his wrist.

In the warmth, Liu Cang suddenly felt that the pain in his wrist was greatly relieved.

"Haha, it's good to have you." When the treatment was over, Liu Cang touched the head of Golden Light Mushroom, and then his face became more yearning, "As the beast master becomes stronger, his physical fitness will also become stronger. It should be more efficient.”

"It's a pity that a powerful beastmaster doesn't bother to work as a protector."

Speaking of this, Xu Ran's figure suddenly appeared in Liu Cang's mind.

That young man who looked unfamiliar seemed to be a strong beastmaster?

There are three pet beasts, so they must be at the command level, right?

And he's still very young...

There was a hint of envy in Liu Cang's eyes.

That young man's cleaning efficiency is probably much higher than him.

Not enough...

When it comes to washing and care skills, naturally I am the better one!

Thinking of this, Liu Cang's eyes became a little more complacent, as if he had regained some confidence.

He put his hands on the ground and stood up again, "Let's go, Xiao Jin, come with me to go out and take a look."

Liu Cang has a habit, that is, once he starts washing, he will not leave the washing room midway.

So starting from the first guest, he always stayed in his own corner. Even when he asked the next guest to come in, he asked the previous guest to do it for him.

At this moment, he was suddenly curious about how long the queue was outside his door, and... what was the situation in other washrooms.

Presumably, the number of customers queuing outside his washroom should be the largest in the nearby area, right?

Although the location here is relatively remote, the laundry exhibition has been going on for a while, and there should be many customers queuing at the entrance who have chosen to give up after waiting for a long time and go deeper to find the laundry room.

so…

Pressing his hands on the door of the bathroom, Liu Cang had a look of anticipation on his face.

Let’s make a bold prediction. Will there be twenty customers lining up at the door?

Thinking of this, Liu Cang opened the door.

Then, the smile on his face froze slightly.

one two three four…

There were only four people lining up outside the door.

"How could..." Liu Cang's expression became stunned, and he muttered in a low voice. Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by exclamations coming from not far away.

Looking to the side, Liu Cang's eyes almost popped out.

In stark contrast to the few people queuing up in front of his own door, the queue has already turned into a long queue in front of the washing room next to him. There are thirty or forty guests queuing up, and it is like a long queue in this somewhat remote exhibition area. Stand out from the crowd.

Wait a minute!

This location…

Xu Ran's face appeared in Liu Cang's mind.

How can it be? !

He shook his head violently, almost thinking he was dreaming.

This is obviously just a kid from out of town. He doesn't even have a store in Minghui City, so he has no reputation at all.

Under such circumstances, how could the other party attract so many beast master customers in a short period of time?

The next moment when this idea came to his mind, Liu Cang suddenly couldn't help but exclaim like the guests in line who had exclaimed just now.

Because, he saw the pet beast that had just finished washing appeared in his sight as the crowd made way for a passage.

It was a deer-shaped beast that walked on four legs.

The moment he saw it, Liu Cang's complete understanding of it subconsciously emerged in his mind.

The earth-type king race, Xuanhua Demon Deer.

It is known as the "Elf of Flowers" because its body has patterns like blooming flowers, and the antlers on its head are like flowering branches. It is a powerful pet beast with both good looks and strength.

Liu Cang is no stranger to this race. In fact, he has also taken over the washing and care business of the same race.

However, this was his first time seeing such a beautiful Black Flower Demon Deer.

Look at the floral patterns on its body that are so agile and lifelike that they resemble flowers swaying in the wind as the Black Flower Demon Deer walks. Look at the bright and dazzling antlers of the Black Flower Demon Deer that flash in the sun. Liu Cang couldn't help but take a breath of cold air at the dazzling luster of the flower buds.

He suddenly had a feeling that the Xuanhua Demon Deer at this moment was truly worthy of its racial name and the title of "Elf in the Flower".

There is no doubt that the only person who can make the Xuanhua Demon Deer appear in such a state is a guardian with exquisite skills.

Liu Cang's eyes suddenly became complicated.

He couldn't help but turn his head and look at the figure who was leading the next customer into the bathroom. After a moment, he took a deep breath, smiled brightly, and looked at the customers lining up in front of his bathroom door, "Please Enter."

At this moment, the last thought in his heart of competing for the "Holy Hand of Washing" was quietly extinguished, and his mentality changed accordingly.

Since you can't get the only honor, just enjoy this skin care exhibition! ——

Care, care, care.

Xu Ran was too lazy to count how many pets he had cared for.

With the help of the stars, he felt as if he had endless strength and energy and would never feel tired.

The sky outside the bathroom turned from bright to dusky, and finally turned completely black as the sun set in the west, with only a few stars twinkling.

Late at night.

This time, the pet animal care exhibition held in Minghui City lasted from the morning of the first day to the evening of the second day, a total of two days and one night.

During this period, carers can interrupt their business at any time to rest and recover.

Therefore, most people choose to take a break at night.

However, Xu Ran obviously has no intention of taking a break.

Outside the bathroom door with a plaque with the words "Star Fire Pet Store" hanging on it, lights were on to guide the direction, and the long queue was still moving slowly forward.

Not far from the door of the washing room, a figure stood still. After seeing Xu Ran's busy business, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

That was Du Qian who had finished his bathing and was ready to rest for the night and fight again tomorrow.

He originally thought that he was already the most involved person in this pet care exhibition, because when he finished the care, all the surrounding care rooms had turned off the lights and entered a state of rest.

He never expected that he would actually see this scene as he was just casually strolling around to see where the Star Fire Pet Store was.
