Chapter 1145: Chapter 1144: A Mere Commoner
Over the years, I’ve encountered many crises, and ultimately, I’ve overcome them by relying on my cultivation.
As for facing modern weapons, if you can take your cultivation to the extreme, even with guns, facing powerful weapons, you wouldn’t bat an eye.
Right now, you haven’t reached that level yet, so you might feel martial arts seem useless. But when you reach a certain level of cultivation in the future, you’ll understand the benefits it brings.
Ba Lvluo hadn’t had a chance to speak when Yanran burst out, "Look, Alice is on TV!
Sure enough, the Flaming Firebird’s picture appeared on the television news.
Jiang Cheng and the others listened quietly.
Of course, when they heard the expert say he had never seen such a bird before, they couldn’t help but smile.
The Flaming Firebird is a unique creature that came about through genetic mutation after shooting. How could one recognize her just by looking at her appearance?
Ba Lv, Alice being on TV is the same brightness, right?" Yanran said with a hidden meaning.
Yuan Liang, Yuan Liang." Ba Lv stared unblinkingly at the TV screen.
"What are you looking for? Are you hoping to see the baby’s face?" Yanran teased absent-mindedly.
Jiang Cheng shook his head. His two students were usually fine but would argue when it came to their pets, so it was best for him to remain uninvolved.
Don’t get smug. When our wolf pups grow up a bit, people will notice how different they are. By then, they’ll outshine your bird.
Ba Lv remembered what Jiang Cheng had said. Since the teacher said these two wolf pups were extraordinary, they surely would be as the teacher described.
For a capable, well-informed teacher like him, she believed in his judgment.
"No matter how big the wolf pups grow, they can’t compare to our Alice’s beauty. Also," Yanran reminded Ba Lv: "Alice has a lot of charisma, you’ve seen that, haven’t you?"
Ba Lv had to admit that point.
When she saw the photo, this usually goofy bird seemed so serious, which she didn’t expect at all.
Yanran still wanted to say more when suddenly Ba Lvti shouted: "Alice, put down the wolf pup!"
Yanran turned around and saw the Flaming Firebird trying sneakily to fly off with a wolf pup by the neck.
"Alice!" Yanran’s voice was full of warning.
The Flaming Firebird had no choice but to obey its owner’s order, but the mischievous bird deliberately dropped the wolf pup into their food bowl.
"You’re dead, Alice!" Ba Lvluo shouted.
For a while, the room was once again in an uproar.
At nine o’clock in the morning, the Widow Store’s owner opened the door on time.
He was in a good mood; although his pipe was still in his mouth, he was humming a tune.
Last night, his pet store was on the TV news. The pet store owner was delighted, thinking it was all due to his keen eye.
If he hadn’t suddenly had the bright idea to get that beautiful bird, what was its name again?
Alice, the pet store owner patted his head, secretly blaming himself for aging and forgetting such a nice name, oh, time really doesn’t spare anyone.
In those years, his mind was filled with accounting, and there was no need to note the store’s affairs down.
Now he couldn’t even remember a bird’s name.
Luckily, he had the foresight; the owner of Pet 087 continued to think, hoping that beautiful lady would agree to let her beautiful bird be a model for his store.
The lady and the bird were equally beautiful, the owner thought, then blamed himself again, wondering if he was really too old to focus on one thing.
All in all, his shop became famous now, because of that beautiful bird, last night, not only peers inquired about where the bird came from, but until late at night, people contacted him asking if he was selling the bird.
Unfortunately, the bird wasn’t his. The pet store owner regretfully shook his head, but even if it were his, he would never sell it.
The pet store owner’s gaze fell on the picture of the Flaming Firebird.
In the most prominent place in the pet shop was a photo of the Flaming Firebird, so that guests would see it as soon as they walked in.
Who would sell such a beautiful and rare bird? The store owner smiled, but he didn’t stop what he was doing.
After a flurry of activity, the store became tidier.
Only then did the pet store owner sit down contentedly, watching the employees take care of the pets, and then he lit his pipe again.
Outside, three spaceships suddenly stopped, and the pet shop owner looked at them in surprise, his eyes involuntarily drawn to the insignia printed on the ships.
The pet shop owner shuddered a few times internally, as he recognized this double insignia, which belonged to a prominent person.
He knew that this person usually had no regard for small shops like his. Speaking of which, how could the distinguished Lord Governor visit such a place?
Just as the pet store owner was about to stand up, the store’s door was pulled open.
Accompanied by four guards, the Lord Governor entered, naturally accompanied by his beautiful lover.
As soon as the group led by the Lord Governor entered, their gaze was drawn to the photo of the Flaming Firebird.
It was a full-body shot, but unlike other photographers, the photograph didn’t reveal her entire body in detail.
The Flaming Firebird’s upper body in sharp relief, set off by her fiery red feathers, made her look even more noble and elegant, full of life and glory.
"My dear, look, it’s her!" The governor’s lover exclaimed with surprise to him.
Being able to see this beautiful bird’s photo directly now, and the impact felt even stronger than seeing it on TV last night.
"Keke, yes, it’s her," the Governor smiled and waved his hand as a signal to his subordinates, for as the dignified Lord Governor, he wouldn’t negotiate face-to-face with commoners.
"Old man, where’s that bird?" Since he was the Governor’s subordinate, naturally, he spoke rather rudely.
"This bird? Oh, it’s not ours; it’s a customer’s pet. I’m just borrowing it as a model," the pet store owner explained.
The subordinate turned to look at the Governor, who said to his lover, "My dear, did you hear that? This bird is not for sale at his store."
"But sir, I like this bird. I even dreamed about her last night, my lord..." The beautiful woman looked at the Governor with a pitiful expression.
The hardest to resist is the beauty’s charm, the Governor thought, deciding he should ask personally.
"Where does the customer you mentioned live?"
"They seem to be staying at the XX hotel, but I don’t know the exact place. However, sir, may I be bold enough to ask, why are you looking for the owner of this bird?" the store owner inquired.
"Do you think it’s your place to question the Governor’s affairs?" Before the Governor could speak, his assistant took the lead, ruthlessly reprimanding the Widow Store owner: "You should look at your own status, just a commoner, daring to question the affairs of the Governor."
