Chapter 1142: Chapter 1141: Wolf Castle

At this moment, night was slowly falling. They were strolling down the street, discussing where to eat, and where to go after dinner. They couldn’t just go back to the inn to sleep right after eating, especially since the night view here was worth seeing.

The three of them chatted and slowly merged into the night.

Early the next morning, Yanran got up, and the noise she made woke Ba Lv. Ba Lv, with sleepy eyes, asked Yanran, "There’s nothing going on today, why are you up so early?"

"How is there nothing?" Yanran retorted, "Have you forgotten about your occasional absent-mindedness?"

"Get up quickly, or else I’ll pull your blanket off!" Seeing Ba Lv had no intention of getting up, Yanran threatened her impatiently.

"Alright, alright, I’m getting up, but you should at least tell me why we’re up so early," Ba Lv said, sitting up in bed.

"Today, our Alice is going to the pet store to model, remember?" Yanran said.

"Oh, right, that thing," Ba Lv lay back down on the bed. "I won’t go with you. I think the pet store owner is mad at you, so you take Alice by yourself." Yanran looked at her with narrowed eyes and said, "Are you sure?"

"Of course not," Ba Lv saw the mischievous look in Yanran’s eyes and quickly changed her tone.

"That’s better, get up quickly, let’s go," Yanran said, walking out of the room.

"Hai, Bai, you two have it tough, don’t you?" Ba Lv lay on the bed, looking at them on the side, lamenting, "The pet store owner is old and probably can’t see well. You guys dress up beautifully to be models. Have you gotten up yet?" Yanran called from outside the room...

"I’ve gotten up," Ba Lv finally pulled the blanket off.

The pet store owner had run his store for half his life, selling countless animals, but he had never seen a bird like the Flaming Firebird, not even one that resembled it in appearance.

If he’d known the Flaming Firebird could breathe fire, he would have been even more astonished.

From his many years of business intuition, he felt that this bird was definitely not ordinary, and moreover, there couldn’t be many of them around.

Since the day Yanran agreed to let the Flaming Firebird model for the pet store, the owner had been searching online for information about Flaming Firebirds but found nothing.

As a stubborn old man, he didn’t give up and went to seek advice from others in the same trade, but he still got nothing.

In light of this, the owner decided to hire a reliable photographer to capture high-quality images of this unknown bird and send them to experts.

Who knows, he might become famous because of it, the pet store owner thought smugly, imagining the photos being included in a book: discovered by XXX.

"Boss, we’re here!" The pet store’s door was pushed open as Yanran and Ba Lv entered, bringing their pets along.

The owner put down his pipe and came forward to greet them. "Welcome, we’ve been prepared. I’ve invited a famous photographer just for your Alice this time."

"Really?" Yanran was delighted, "We’ll make sure Alice is dressed up nicely today, to match the esteemed photographer you invited."

The pet store owner laughed heartily.

After careful grooming by Yanran and the pet store staff, the Flaming Firebird looked exceptionally dazzling.

Jiang Cheng took time out of his busy schedule to stay a few more days on the Bordeaux planet because he knew the locals had a tradition of martial arts combat.

He wanted his two female disciples to participate in such a competition to see how skilled they really were.

In his mind, martial artists need to engage with others to improve their skills.

Only through interacting with different people and experiencing various fighting styles can one’s abilities improve.

This is why he wanted Yanran and Ba Lv to enter the contest.

Fortunately, they managed to sign up just in time, and the competition would begin in a few days.

In the meantime, they could enjoy their free time.

Sure enough, early in the morning, his eldest disciple informed him that they would be taking their pet for a photoshoot today.

"Photoshoot?" Jiang Cheng was momentarily confused.

Ba Lv mockingly said from the side, "Oh dear, Alice is going to the pet store to be a Widow Store model."

Jiang Cheng, sensing an off tone, looked at the two wolf pups trailing behind and asked, "What about Hai and Bai?"

"Our Hai and Bai aren’t as pretty as others, they are merely cute. But people nowadays are so shallow, blinded by so-called beauty," Ba Lv remarked, her words dripping with jealousy.

Jiang Cheng and Yanran couldn’t help but laugh.

Jiang Cheng went down to pet the two wolf pups and said to Ba Lv, "Don’t worry, when they grow up, plenty of people will be lining up to take their pictures. Teacher, are you comforting me?" Ba Lv asked, half skeptically.

"You are such a strong girl, you don’t need my comfort, right?" Jiang Cheng said with a smile, "I’m telling the truth. Just think about their father, and why I hope you’d adopt these two little guys. It’s because they are extraordinary!"

"Teacher is the best!" Ba Lv’s eyes lit up. "Our little Hai and Bai are indeed still little, just a few months old. Just wait, in time those who couldn’t see their value will regret it, hmph."

Feeling much better, Ba Lv cheerfully left with Yanran.

His two literary disciples are indeed unique individuals.

Yuan Liang’s beautifully polished Flaming Firebird is unrecognizable by even enthusiasts.

She looked so eager, as if she was about to marry that photographer.

Once the photographer left, the pet store owner got busy.

He took out a pre-prepared picture frame, placed the photo inside, and instructed the staff to display them in glass cabinets in the store.

Since the two wolf pups also had photos, they put one up as well, though Ba Lv was still quite satisfied despite only having one.

She realized the owner wasn’t as lacking in taste as she initially thought.

Yanran and Ba Lv also left the pet store. Even though they didn’t intend to charge the pet store owner, the enthusiastic owner wouldn’t feel comfortable, so they accepted his kindness and left with some trinkets like bells.

Yanran and her friends didn’t expect that shortly after they left, the pet store’s front became busy.

The cause was, of course, the Flaming Firebird photos. To most people, the Flaming Firebird appeared as little more than a rare, beautiful bird.

However, to a connoisseur, it was a different story.
