Unorthodox Beast Control

Chapter 326 Psychologist Twelve

“Tuk-tuk-tuk~”

Following a series of dull knocks, the door was quickly opened from the inside.

The person who opened the door was a girl who looked about seven or eight years old. She was wearing a cute princess dress and seemed to be getting ready to go out for fun.

"Dad!" When she saw Zong Hua outside the door, the girl's face immediately showed a bright smile, and she rushed up quickly. However, when she saw the somewhat dodgy figure behind Zong Hua, her face quickly turned pale.

As if the terrible scene half a year ago flashed through her mind again, the girl screamed and backed away quickly.

Zong Hua's wife, who came over after hearing the sound, quickly hugged the girl and patted her back to comfort her. After seeing King Yin Hao, her face became a little unhappy, "Husband?"

"I decided to let King Yinhao move back and live with us." Zong Hua walked into the house and said with a serious face, "It is not happy outside. It did not do anything wrong in the first place. If it weren't for it, the little one would Ru may be gone.”

"I know, but Xiaoru is very scared. She will continue to have nightmares when King Yinhao is at home." Zong Hua's wife said helplessly.

"Please let my pet help solve this problem." Xu Ran followed Zong Hua into Zong's house and said with a smile.

"Who are you?" Zong Hua's wife noticed Xu Ran who followed her husband into the home.

"This is Xu Ran, the owner of the foster care shop where King Yinhao is currently fostering." Zong Hua took the initiative to introduce, "He has a pet beast that can help Xiaoru."

"If you don't mind, please let me try it." Xu Ran touched Twelve who was standing on his shoulder and spoke softly.

"This..." Zong Hua's wife couldn't help but look at Zong Hua. After the couple looked at each other, she slowly let go of her daughter in her arms, "It's troublesome."

Zong Ru, who was sobbing, also heard the conversation just now. She wiped her tears and stood up slowly.

The next moment, she took the initiative to walk to the sofa, lay down, closed her eyes, and quickly fell asleep.

Twelve pulled an invisible thread away from Zong Ru's body, then flapped his wings and hovered in the air above Zong Ru.

There was light flowing in its sea-blue eyes, and as far as the eye could see, Zong Ru's body had undergone strange changes, like a transparent container, and inside the container was a gray-black cloud that was constantly rotating.

Twelve, who had witnessed countless dreams during the evolution ceremony, knew very well that the clouds of this color represented that Zong Ru was having a nightmare at the moment.

It connects to each other with heartbeats, and the next moment it enters Zong Ru's nightmare.

——

"No...no, don't come here!"

Zong Ru screamed, spreading her legs and running wildly on the empty and secluded street. Behind her, two ferocious figures followed closely.

One of them has been torn into pieces, and from its broken body, it can be vaguely seen that it is a wolf pet.

This torn body, at this moment in Zong Ru's dream, has not lost the ability to move. Every cracked part of its body is filled with ferocious claws. These claws grip the ground, giving it countless Foot, move quickly.

There are also mouths full of sharp teeth that emit ferocious and terrifying howling sounds, which make people fearful when they hear them.

The other monster was just as scary, if not more so.

It was covered in vague blood, mixed with pieces of internal organs and torn flesh that came from unknown sources. Before it even got close, there seemed to be a terrible smell of blood hitting its face, which made it as terrifying as a devil.

Being chased by such two terrifying monsters, Zongru's expression was distorted because of fear. She kept running away, but she could not escape the pursuit of the two monsters behind her.

The atmosphere of despair spread throughout the dream.

When Twelve appeared in the dream, what he saw was this scene in front of him.

Although the figure covered in flesh, blood and internal organ fragments was transformed into a hideous and terrifying figure due to its intentionalization, it was still possible to tell that it was the King of Silver Hairs.

Seeing Zong Ru's extremely frightened look, Twelve sighed slightly, and then flapped his wings.

The next moment, the entire dreamland was like a broken mirror, with cracks appearing one after another, and finally turning into countless bubbles and dissipating.

When the scene just now dissipated, the surrounding scene quickly changed.

On the empty streets, blurred figures gradually appeared, as well as the sounds of hawkers and the smell of various foods mixed together.

The only clear thing in the field was Zong Ru and the tall Silver Hair King behind her.

The big one and the small one were walking on the street. At this moment, Zong Ru was not afraid of King Yinhao, and even smiled and said something to King Yinhao behind him from time to time.

Twelve watched all this quietly.

It knew that all dreams were backed by real memories, and what it saw at this moment were the real memory fragments corresponding to the nightmare that entangled Zong Ru.

This is the unique power of the Deep Sleeping Bird. It evolved by absorbing the dreams of ten thousand creatures. It is an instinct born during evolution.

The memory continued, and a pet beast that looked like a wolf dog crossed the street and came to Zong Ru and King Yinhao.

Facing this unfamiliar pet beast, Zong Ru still didn't have much guardedness.

But the eyes of King Yinhao behind Zong Ru quickly became wary.

As a fighting type, it sensed a dangerous aura from the opponent.

"Do you want to eat my candied haws on a stick?" Zong Ru said with a smile, and took the initiative to hand over the candied haws in his hand, "Here, here you go."

At this moment, a sudden change occurred.

The wolf beast's eyes turned blood red in an instant, and it let out a fierce roar, and then rushed towards Zong Ru.

The distance between the two was extremely close. Seeing that Zong Ru was about to be torn apart by the other party, an equally fierce roar came from behind Zong Ru.

King Yinhao, who had been on guard for a long time, took action.

The moment the wolf beast attacked Zongru, King Yinhao classified him as an enemy without hesitation.

The enemy needs to be deterred with the most powerful force!

It stood in front of Zong Ru without hesitation, slapped him away, and then rushed forward to fight with him.

The battle between the two beasts was extremely fierce. In the end, King Yinhao killed his opponent at the cost of multiple wounds. He tore the wolf beast into pieces arbitrarily and allowed the opponent's blood to cover its body. .

This was King Yinhao's way of showing off his bravery, but he never expected how terrifying such a bloody scene would be for a little girl who grew up in a greenhouse.

In panic and confusion, Zong Ru passed out.

When she woke up again, this shocking image was like a nightmare, haunting her day and night.

The memory fragments stopped abruptly, and in the dark space, only Zongru was left sitting down with his hands on his knees and his head buried deeply between his knees.

Twelve flapped his wings and landed lightly on Zong Ru's shoulders.

In the darkness, it made a clear cry.

"Chirp~"

The next moment, it was dawn.

Beautiful colorful castles like fairy tales appeared all around, and in front of Zong Ru, the blood-stained Silver Hair King in the nightmare appeared.

With the help of cute creatures, King Yinhao washed away the dirt on his body and put on a nice coat.

It danced with those cute little creatures, and finally extended its generous hand to Zongru.

In the end, Zongru and King Yinhao sang and danced together in the relaxed and cheerful music.

Three-star skill, corona level, flawless fantasy realm.

Looking at his masterpiece, Twelve nodded with satisfaction, flapped his wings again, and his consciousness returned to reality.

It chirped at the girl who was lying on the sofa and fell into a dream, with the corners of her mouth raised slightly. The next moment, Zong Ru, who was immersed in endless sleep, was awakened.

The girl sat up in confusion, and her eyes soon became clear.

She looked around anxiously, as if looking for something. When her eyes came into contact with the Silver Hair King hiding behind her father, she quietly froze.

The next moment, she screamed and jumped up. Under the dumbfounded gazes of Zong Hua and his wife, she quickly rushed to the Yinhao King, opened her small body as much as possible, and hugged him tightly.

King Yinhao was stunned in place, his eyes that were very similar to humans were filled with astonishment and disbelief.

Its body trembled violently, a pair of big hands carefully touched Zong Ru, and then gently hugged her petite body.

It had not felt such a warm and familiar hug for a long time.

Zong Hua's wife looked at the big one and the small one hugging each other, her eyes instantly turned red, and tears kept falling from her face.

Even Zong Hua couldn't help but wipe the wet corners of his eyes.

Before that incident happened, Zong Ru was the favorite in the family, King Yin Hao. The older one and the younger one could be said to be inseparable.

But after that incident, everything changed.

Now, seeing a scene they had not seen for a long time, the two people's feelings were indescribable.

"Chirp~" (I must be awesome.)

After completing the task, Twelve flew to Xu Ran's shoulder, his face full of expressions begging for praise.

"Great job." Xu Ran touched Twelve's head and spoke seriously.

"Boss Xu, thank you so much." Zong Hua strode up to Xu Ran with a grateful look on his face, "If you hadn't discovered the problem with King Yin Hao, I would still be in the dark. ."

"Not only that, you also brought such wonderful mental treatment to my daughter, so that she will no longer be entangled in nightmares."

"You're welcome, Mr. Zong, it's just a piece of cake for me." Xu Ran smiled and shook his head, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"Why don't you stay for a meal?" Zong Hua's wife enthusiastically urged him to stay.

"No, it's rare for your family to get together, so I won't bother you at this time." Xu Ran shook his head with a smile, and then took the initiative to leave with the four little ones.

Twelve had informed him and the other three little ones of the detailed process using contract induction. Although he sent away the only real foster resident in the store, he was only happy for King Yinhao in his heart.

When one person and four pets returned to the foster care shop, the system store manager quickly stepped forward.

"Boss, a new customer has fostered a pet animal to us."

Upon hearing the news, the four little ones looked at each other and rushed to the foster care area.

Go see the new residents!

——

Time flies by amid the booming business of Star Fire Pet Store.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

After half a month of operation, Star Fire Pet Store has finally established a firm foothold in Minghui City. The three somewhat strange system clerks have gained recognition from customers with their excellent services.

Star Fire Pet Store is no longer only famous for its grooming and grooming services. Its foster care and sparring services have received rave reviews after customers tried it, and more people are aware of it.

On this day, a somewhat special guest came to Star Fire Pet Store.

What was so special was that the moment the system store manager saw him, he hurried upstairs to find Xu Ran.

"Boss, the person you asked me to pay special attention to is here!"

"Coming?" Xu Ran sat cross-legged on the bed. After hearing this, he slowly opened his eyes and woke up from his meditation. "Wait, I will receive you personally."

He quickly jumped out of bed, dressed neatly, and followed the system store manager into the store.

Inside the store, a girl in a long skirt stood there, looking at everything around her curiously.

After hearing the noise, she turned her head with a smile, with a strange look in her eyes, "Boss Xu, grandpa's building looks better after you modified it."

"This is just the icing on the cake for Mr. Zhao's design." Xu Ran smiled modestly, "Long time no see. Are you here to take care of your pet?"

"Yes." Qiu Yue nodded, "My Xiayan Demon Fox has soiled itself again. It depends on your washing and care skills, Boss Xu."

"I heard that your store has hired new employees, what about this cleaning session?"

"Don't worry, as the oldest old customer of our store, I will be personally responsible for your care." Xu Ran said seriously.

This is Minghui City's branch carp, and the aura of the koi carp has affected Shuguang No. 1 Building, so it must be treated well.

"Then I'll be relieved." Qiu Yue smiled with satisfaction.

Although she heard that the staff at Star Fire Pet Store were no worse than Xu Ran in their care skills, she was still more willing to trust Xu Ran's skills.

Summoning the Xiayan Demon Fox, Qiu Yue looked at the dirty appearance of his pet beast with a bit of anticipation in his eyes.

The last time Xu Ran washed and groomed Xiayan Demon Fox was at a grooming exhibition. Due to the limitations of equipment and other factors, Xu Ran could not fully display his abilities.

This time, that won't happen.

She could finally see what the Xiayan Demon Fox would look like after Xu Ran's all-out care.

"Follow me." Xu Ran raised his hands towards Xiayan Demon Fox, and Xiayan Demon Fox had already recognized the human who gave it great pleasure last time.

It jumped onto Xu Ran's hand with elegant steps, its raised little face full of expectation.

Soon, the two of them entered the bathroom together.

As the door of the bathroom closed, outside the bathroom, in a corner of the store, Twelve stopped there at some point with a strange expression.

After initially mastering its new abilities, it has successfully broken through to the general level, and the gap with the other three little ones is quickly shortening.

And now it has some new habits because of its own abilities.

For example, you can use your illusion ability to hide your existence, hide in a corner of the store, and observe the customers entering the store one by one.

This allows it to better fathom emotions and moods, and have more material for fantasy.

He never expected that today's observation would actually lead him to see this scene.

Xu Ran has not cared for customers for more than ten days. He has handed over all tasks to three employees. In addition to going out of the city to investigate the situation every day, he has been practicing meditation intensively at other times.

Now, Xu Ran actually takes the initiative to wash and care for a customer?

And she is a young human woman.

Could it be...

The twelve big eyes rolled, and there were already a lot of speculations and daydreams in them.

It couldn't help but wonder if the other three little ones knew about this.

Thinking of this, Twelve flapped his wings and quickly flew towards the training area.

Not long after, the four little ones gathered together.

Twelve excitedly told the three little ones about his findings, and finally added his guess.

"Chirp~" (In my opinion, Xu Ran is probably in love!)

"Cha?" (Love?)

Cancan's eyes widened, and then he shook his head violently.

impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Have the three of them never known such a thing?

The star on the side showed a thoughtful look on his face, and after a moment he neighed.

"Xilu?" (What is the human and pet beast you just mentioned?)

Twelve's focus was entirely on the beast master, and he didn't pay much attention to the pet beast. After hearing Xingchen's question, it recalled it for a while, and then spoke with some uncertainty.

"Chirp~" (It seems to be a fire fox.)

"Meow?" (Fire fox?)

Zi Yun whispered and looked at each other with Xingchen.

At this moment, the same woman appeared in their minds.

If it was her, it would all make sense.

"Cha?" (What riddle are you playing?)

Cancan scratched his head, his expression a bit confused.

The last time he washed Qiu Yue's Xiayan Demon Fox, Zi Yun and Xingchen were helping Xu Ran in the washing room. Only Cancan was guarding the door outside the washing room. Therefore, although it knew the koi from the two little ones, existence, but has not yet reacted at this moment.

"Meow!" (It's a koi, and resource allocation is about to begin.)

Zi Yun patted Cancan on the head and reminded him.

Cancan suddenly realized and his eyes widened in surprise.

I see!

Seeing the three little ones looking so excited, Twelve also vaguely sensed something was wrong.

Things are probably not what it guessed.

Although it still doesn't understand the value of koi, it can clearly hear the words "resource allocation" spoken by Zi Yun.

"Chirp?" (Does that human being have anything to do with resource allocation?)

"Cha!" (That person is the koi from Minghui City!)

Cancan spoke excitedly, and then began to tell Twelve about the extremely complicated relationship between koi and resource allocation, which made Twelve stunned.

It turns out that some of Xu Ran's rewards need to be obtained from mysterious places through extraction, and koi can make it easier for Xu Ran to extract good rewards, so that the resources allocated to them will be better.

So every time, Xu Ran would store the drawn rewards until the koi came, draw all the rewards at once with the help of the opponent's koi aura, and then strike while the iron was hot to allocate resources for the next time.

For a moment, Twelve suddenly thought that when Xu Ran was in Qingzhou City, every time he allocated resources to the three little animals, it seemed to be related to a human guest named Liu Gu.

"Chirp~" (Is Liu Gu a koi from Qingzhou City?)

"Meow!" (Yes.)

Zi Yun nodded quickly.

Twelve clear.

In this way, it understands.

Instantly, there was a little more anticipation in its sea-blue eyes.

This is the first time it has participated in resource allocation since joining the team!

In the past, it could only watch the three little ones participating and secretly envy it.

Now, it's finally its turn!

Regarding resource allocation, Twelve can be said to have been yearning for it for a long time.

Those magical resource items that Zi Yun and Xingchen lent to it to upgrade its talents and skills from two stars to three stars were all obtained through resource allocation.

Even the magical evolution route of the king race can also be obtained through resource allocation.

There is even a chance for the evolution route of the emperor race.

"Meow!" (Let's go and see.)

Zi Yun couldn't help but urge.

The four little ones hit it off immediately and set out immediately.

When they arrived at the store, they happened to see Xu Ran pushing open the door of the washing room. Behind him, Qiu Yue was holding her beautiful fairy-like Xiayan Demon Fox with a silly smile on her face.

"You guys came quite quickly." Seeing the four little ones, Xu Ran smiled unsurprisingly.

Twelve secretly observed the customers in the store with his permission. Twelve knew about the arrival of the koi, and the other three little ones would soon know about it.

"Meow?" (How is it?)

Zi Yun came up to Xu Ran, glanced at Qiu Yue secretly, and then asked in a low voice.

Xu Ran didn't answer, but nodded slightly.

Just a simple action made the four little ones more and more excited.

Qiu Yue in the rear finally recovered from the surprise of the completion of washing and care.

"Boss Xu, you made my Xiayan Demon Fox look so beautiful, I don't want to let it dirty me."

"It has to be dirty when it needs to be." Xu Ran laughed dumbly, "Pet beasts are not works of art to be admired, they are partners who fight with us."

"After you get it dirty, just come to me to wash it."

"That's right." Qiu Yue smiled, "Then I'll come back next time."

She walked quickly to the door of the store and was about to leave when she suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Xu Ran, "By the way, Boss Xu, you should be a general-level beast master, right?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Xu Ran nodded.

"Sure enough, I said I remembered it correctly." Qiu Yue smiled, "The Beastmaster Association seems to be calling on general-level beastmasters to conduct a cross-city exchange battle. I wonder if Boss Xu is interested."

"...Cross-city exchange war?" A confused look appeared on Xu Ran's face, "Can you tell us in detail?"

"No problem." Qiu Yue nodded, "Boss Xu should know that there are many second-level important towns in the No. 47 Beast Territory, and the strongest among them is Xieyun City."

Not only do I know it, I came from there.

Xu Ran complained silently in his heart and nodded at the same time, "I know."

"I heard that the president of the Beast Tamer Association in Xieyun City hopes to unite all the second-level towns, but the other second-level towns are not willing to be commanded by him and lose their autonomy, so after some discussion, this exchange war came into being. .”

"The outcome of the communication battle will directly determine the voice of each secondary town in the future alliance."

"That's all I know." Qiu Yue spread his hands, "Many beast masters in the city are talking about this now."

"I probably know." Xu Ran nodded slightly.

If nothing else, this is essentially the same exchange as the one we had when we first came to Xieyun City.

President Fang Canghai, whom he had never met in person, seemed to be extremely interested in merging all the cities.

"Hmm, there is still a month until the exchange competition starts. If Boss Xu is interested, you can sign up to participate." Qiu Yue smiled, then waved his hand, "I'm leaving!"

"Goodbye." Xu Ran waved goodbye and didn't put down his hand until Qiu Yue's figure disappeared at the door of the store.

"Meow?" (Do we want to participate?)

Zi Yun asked curiously.

Xu Ran pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "Let's get the extermination thunder first. There is no need to participate in this communication battle."

No matter who gets the right to speak in the human alliance, he, the shop owner, will not have much influence, so there is no need to participate in this kind of thing.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go back to the room." Xu Ran soon had a smile on his face, "I got a new red item this time."

New red items!

In an instant, the four little eyes lit up, even Twelve was no exception.

It already knows that the resources Xu Ran obtains are distinguished by color. The evolution route of the king's race and the three-star skill scroll he used in the process of upgrading his skills are both purple items.

On top of the purple items, there are more precious red items.

The emperor race evolution route is one of the red items.

And now, a new red item has appeared.

What effect will it have?

The faces of the four little ones were full of curiosity.

Seeing that Xu Ran had already raised his feet and started walking towards the rest area, they followed him without hesitation.

Not long after, one person and four pets gathered in the room.

"Next, we will start a new round of resource allocation." Xu Ran pulled out the blackboard and chalk with a smile, took a look at the four little ones, and then started writing.

At the bottom of a series of familiar resources, there are two lines of deliberately marked text.

"Evolutionary Route of the Emperor's Race"

"Four-star skill scroll"

As there are more and more branches, the Pleasure Points income also increases. In the same half-month accumulation period, Xu Ran can accumulate more Pleasure Points.

The number of draws increases, and with the blessing of koi, there are naturally more possibilities to draw red items.

This time, the two red items drawn were the same as last time.

In addition to the Emperor race evolution route that has been used twice before, there is also a brand new red item.

Although it is brand new, Xu Ran and Si Xiaoji have both used low-end versions of it, so it is not unfamiliar to them.

"With the four-star skill scroll, you can randomly obtain a four-star skill, or upgrade a skill lower than four-star to a four-star skill." Xu Ran smiled and said the purpose of the new item, "It just so happens that both resources are ours It’s needed now.”

"Cha!" (That's right!)

Cancan nodded heavily, and his golden eyes seemed to have taken root on the blackboard, refusing to move even an inch.

The third evolution route of the emperor race!

It has missed the first two copies, so this third copy has to go to it, right?

Thinking of this, Cancan quickly turned to look at Twelve.

"Chirp~" (Give it to you, give it to you!)

Although Twelve also wanted to have a glimpse of the future, it had just evolved, so it was not urgent at the moment. Feeling Cancan's emotions, he gave it up readily.

"Cha!" (Great!)

Cancan cheered and looked at Xu Ran eagerly.
