Chapter 56 - 56 Thanks from Zhou Hao_l
“Is the boss here?”
Zhou Hao strode into the Starfire Foster Care Shop.
“Yes.” Xu Ran finished his meditation, slowly opened his eyes, and recognized who the visitor was at first sight, “How’s the Shadow Chaser Lizard?”
“It’s here.” Zhou Hao glanced at his feet, in the shadow, the scar-stricken Shadow Chaser Lizard slowly emerged, raising its head to look at Xu Ran.
“Cra~”
I did it!
Seeing the Shadow Chaser Lizard, Xu Ran frowned, the disapproval became obvious in his eyes towards Zhou Hao, “Did you not treat it?
“Ah… No!” Realizing Xu Ran’s misunderstanding, Zhou Hao immediately explained, “The Shadow Chaser Lizard suffered severe injuries during the fight, but it eagerly wanted to rush over here right after it had its initial treatment and its condition stabilized…”
Saying this, Zhou Hao also looked helpless.
He had tried to persuade it, but the Shadow Chaser Lizard with its obstinate character, refused to listen.
“Cra~”
The Shadow Chaser Lizard shook its head a bit.
Treatment at the Elite Stage is much slower than at the Transcendent Stage, let alone the fact that its injuries are so severe that it won’t be fully healed for at least three to five days.
But it can’t wait for even a second.
After the Berserking had ended, the Scarlet Ape was left in a weakened state. The Shadow Chaser Lizard that held on till the end achieved the final victory, helping Zhou Hao pass his promotion assessment.
It achieved something that the Variegated Dragon Sparrow couldn’t do, proving itself successful. Now it just wants to quickly share this good news with everyone who has helped.
After listening to the explanation, Xu Ran fell silent for a moment, then silently took out a test tube from his arms. The light blue liquid inside it shimmered under the light.
“Drink this.”
After drinking the Fast-Acting Healing Potion, the injuries on the Shadow Chaser Lizard healed at a visible speed, in the end, not even a scar was left.
“This…” Zhou Hao’s eyes widened.
A medicine with such magical effects must be very valuable. This shop owner just gave it away without even blinking an eye, helping his Pet Beast recover.
“How much does this medicine cost? Consider it sold to me.” He said immediately.
“No need, this is not something you can buy with money.” Xu Ran waved his hand, “You’ve paid one month’s foster fee before, and there are still twenty days left, so did you come here this time to return the Shadow Chaser Lizard to the shop?”
“NO, no, no!” Zhou Hao shook his head without hesitation, “No more fostering!” He looked at the Shadow Chaser Lizard, who was stepping towards the back door with regret on his face. “It was my fault before, to neglect the Shadow Chaser Lizard for another Pet Beast.”
“So now that the Shadow Chaser Lizard has become stronger, you plan to foster the other Pet Beast?” Xu Ran raised an eyebrow.
Zhou Hao was stunned for a second, then continued shaking his head, “No.” “I’ve realized, the conflict between the two Pet Beasts has a lot to do with my inaction.” Zhou Hao slowly said, “As a Beast Master, I should have guided the relationship between the Pet Beasts correctly, but I just let them fight.” There was a look of shame on his face, “I’ve decided, I won’t give up on either of them again, I will do my best to correct the character problems of the two Pet Beasts, no matter how much time it takes.
Hearing Zhou Hao’s determined words, Xu Ran nodded slightly.
This seemed correct.
“In that case, I’ll refund the remaining twenty days of foster expenses.” “No need, no need!” Zhou Hao continued shaking his head, “I came here this time to thank you in person for taking care of the Shadow Chaser Lizard, and you’ve also used such a valuable healing medicine, so there’s no need to mention the money.”
While he was talking, the Shadow Chaser Lizard returned through the back door. It seemed it had already said goodbye to the Armored Rhinoceros and the Stone Armored Dragon in the foster area.
It gave Xu Ran and Ziyun a grateful look, then jumped into Zhou Hao’s shadow. “I should be leaving now, thankyou, boss.” Zhou Hao nodded at Xu Ran and turned to leave the Starfire Foster Care Shop.
The shop returned to its quiet state.
“It is said that the place that makes the Shadow Chaser Lizard feel the most secure after the Beast Master Contract is the shadow of the Beast Master.” Xu Ran looked at the departing back of Zhou Hao, rubbing Ziyun’s head, “The Shadow Chaser Lizard should be very happy now.”
-Meow-” (The place that makes me feel the safe is at the side of the Beast
Master!)
Ziyun rubbed its head against Xu Ran’s palm.
“Then I am very happy too.” Xu Ran laughed.
“Boss, it’s been a week since I saw my Stone Armored Dragon. How is it?” The one-on-one conversation was interrupted by a figure who suddenly barged through the door. Zhang Yun came striding through, “Without me, is the Stone Armored Dragon starving?”
■’You can be assured on that matter.” Xu Ran asserted, “Are you picking it up now?”
“Yes, my fostering fee is all used up. If I don’t come pick it up, the young boss won’t let it sleep on the streets, right?” Zhang Yun grinned.
“Well, not quite, it’s the most I can deduct it waiting for you to redeem it.” Xu Ran pretended to be serious.
“Didn’t realize it, but our boss has a sense of humor.” Zhang Yun scratched his head, “Let’s go now. I haven’t seen it for a week.
“Okay.” Xu Ran nodded, then reminded, “Actually, you can just summon it directly to your side.”
“I know, but picking it up to take it home, needs a bit of ceremony.” Zhang Yun pulled out a bouquet of flowers from his back, “I’ve already prepared.” Xu Ran glanced at the flowers carved out of stone, and looked at Zhang Yun with some peculiarity.
Didn’t notice it last time, this guy is quite the talent.
Without further ado, letting Ziyun watch the shop, Xu Ran led Zhang Yun to the foster area.
“Big Stone! Missed me?” Zhang Yun shouted the name he gave to the Stone Armored Dragon upon recognizing his beast, and rushed towards the Stone Armored Dragon.
“Aow~”
The Stone Armored Dragon was full of surprise and delight, obviously, Zhang Yun hadn’t informed it about this using the Beast Master Contract.
It excitedly wagged its tail, got up to Zhang Yun, “Aoow” ate the stone sculpture flower he prepared, and then was excited to be close to him. “How has it been for you and your neighbors during this time?” Zhang Yun laughed and turned to see the Armored Rhinoceros not far away, giving it a friendly nod, “Boss, what about Zhou Hao’s Shadow Chaser Lizard? Still in a beaten state?”
“Zhou Hao has already picked it up, right before you came.” Xu Ran smiled, “He decided to work hard to coordinate the relationship between the two Pet Beasts.”
“It should be like this!” Zhang Yun nodded approvingly as he punched his other hand’s palm, “When a problem arises with a Pet Beast, the Beast Master should make every effort to solve the problem rather than discard the Pet Beast.” “Alright, Big Stone let’s go, I’m taking you to eat something tasty!” Zhang Yun patted the head of the Stone Armored Dragon.
“Aow?”
Are we going?
The Stone Armored Dragon that was still feeling excited stiffened up a bit.
It retreated a step reluctantly, coming out of Zhang Yun’s arms.
“Aow?”
Don’t you wanna go?
It’s already accustomed to life here, and thought it would be nice to stay.
Although it will miss the Beast Master…
Right! There’s a way!
The Stone Armored Dragon instantly brightened up.
“Aow!”
Can I stay here, and then you can come and see me every day!
Zhang Yun:”???”
Do you even hear what you’re saying?!
