Chapter 23: See which one you like

Tea Osmanthus Park, about 6 kilometers from Qingcheng Jiayuan.

Under a lush phoenix tree, a slender figure sat cross-legged in the shade, reading a book.

The Fire Fang Dog had already forgotten how many laps it had run around this park.

Every time it got tired and returned to its Yu Beast Master, it would see its Yu Beast Master cheering it on with a look of trust, making it feel like it was very powerful and could continue.

By the time it came to its senses, it found itself running again…

Qiao Sang closed her book and shook her head, looking at the Fire Fang Dog slowly moving in the distance.

The Fire Fang Dog wasn’t up to par; it was exhausted after only ten laps.

Morning runs couldn’t train the Fire Fang Dog’s speed; at most, they built up its stamina and allowed Qiao Sang to roughly gauge the Fire Fang Dog’s physical limits.

When the Fire Fang Dog finally managed to run to Qiao Sang again, the morning run was considered over.

Qiao Sang handed the qi yuan milk she had bought earlier to the Fire Fang Dog.

qi yuan milk is a drink for Pets, considered a reputable brand on the market. It can slightly replenish a Pet’s stamina. Qiao Sang bought it from a breakfast shop specializing in Pet food on the roadside.

Items related to Pets are always overpriced, but qi yuan milk has been consistent for decades, never increasing in price since its production. A bottle only costs 98 alliance coins.

The Fire Fang Dog extended a weak paw, took the milk, and gulped it down. In a few sips, the bottle was empty.

“Ya!”

The Fire Fang Dog looked at Qiao Sang with longing eyes.

Qiao Sang was stunned; she had only bought one bottle…

Unable to resist the Fire Fang Dog’s gaze, Qiao Sang handed over the tofu pudding she had bought for herself for 3 alliance coins.

The Fire Fang Dog looked at the one mouthful of tofu pudding left and was silent for a moment.

“Ya!”

The Fire Fang Dog’s wet eyes were full of accusation.

“Alright, alright, I’ll buy more for you later,” Qiao Sang soothed.

No matter how tough things get, one must not let their Pet suffer. If one can’t even satisfy their Pet’s appetite, how can they train it well?

After all, I now have 50,000 alliance coins. It’s just qi yuan milk, right?

Buy it!

Fifteen minutes later.

Qiao Sang held a large bag of qi yuan milk and fell into thought.

These 50,000 alliance coins should last her for a while…

By the time the Fire Fang Dog finished three bottles, there were still seven bottles of qi yuan milk left in the bag.

After four bottles of qi yuan milk, the Fire Fang Dog finally felt energized, but its limbs were still sore and weak, and it trembled even when walking.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang didn’t make it immediately begin skill release training.

“I’m taking you to buy something good,” Qiao Sang said with a smile to the Fire Fang Dog.

“Ya.”

The Fire Fang Dog’s eyes lit up, clearly very interested in this good thing.

…

Vile Plaza.

The largest shopping center in the Tangxin District, a high-end commercial complex integrating leisure, shopping, dining, and entertainment.

As soon as Qiao Sang arrived, she was stopped by a handsome young man with a blue wolf-tail hairstyle.

“Beautiful lady, are you interested in learning how to make your Pet more charming? Come to our Dream Beauty Pet Styling Salon! We have a professional Pet stylist team, and our chief stylist has even designed styles for Luo Gang’s contestant’s Purple Demon Vine.”

“Thank you, I’m not interested,” Qiao Sang refused.

“Beautiful lady, don’t refuse so quickly. Look at my Qingyue Butterfly.” The wolf-tail haired young man said, stepping aside.

Behind him, a Qingyue Butterfly, entirely purplish-blue with green veined wings, appeared before Qiao Sang.

The Qingyue Butterfly elegantly spun in the air, its scattered scales reflecting dazzling light in the sun.

It’s quite beautiful…

Qiao Sang was momentarily captivated by the Qingyue Butterfly in front of her.

The wolf-tail haired young man watched with satisfaction as the young girl in front of him became lost in the charm of his Pet. He struck while the iron was hot: “How about it? Doesn’t the purplish-blue look good? This was adjusted by our stylist according to the Qingyue Butterfly’s preference. Your Fire Fang Dog has a good color, but it’s too lacking in personality. Why not come to our Dream Beauty Pet Styling Salon to design an exclusive style?”

“Ya!”

The Fire Fang Dog barked at the wolf-tail haired young man in dissatisfaction.

This guy actually said it had no personality!

With the development of Yu Beast society, many new professions have emerged, most of them serving Pets. Pet stylists are one of them.

There are millions of Pets in the world, of all kinds, but Pets of the same species look almost identical, with only differences in height, weight, and build.

With the development of information,异色 Pets only appeared in the public eye.

If it weren’t for the spread of information, a person might never see an异色 Pet in real life in their lifetime.

Rarity makes value.

Although the value of an异色 Pet cannot yet compare to a Dragon-type Pet, its selling price is already comparable to a Fairy-type Pet.

If one encounters some rare species, the price might exceed a hundredfold.

Later, the profession of Pet stylist emerged.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t have an异色 Pet; you can dye it an异色.

Although it sounds good, almost no Yu Beast Master who competes professionally would choose to dye their Pet.

The reason is simple.

It fades…

A Pet will get injured in a match, and losing a layer of fur or shedding a bit of skin will make the entire styling pointless.

That being said, there are still some famous Yu Beast Masters who cannot resist the allure of异色.

A while ago, contestant Lin Ruochu used a golden Silver Frost Centipede in the nationally televised College Super League. As a result, her first opponent was a Water-type Impact Bubble Turtle.

Ice has a great advantage over Water-type.

As a result, under a barrage of high-pressure Water Gun attacks, most of the golden color on the Silver Frost Centipede fell off, making it look incredibly disheveled, directly affecting contestant Lin Ruochu’s mindset and performance, causing her to lose the entire match.

Qiao Sang was indeed captivated by the Qingyue Butterfly, but not to the extent of having the Fire Fang Dog dyed and styled.

How good does the Fire Fang Dog’s fiery red color look!

This person has terrible taste.

“No,” Qiao Sang refused again.

Seeing her firm attitude, the wolf-tail haired young man didn’t waste time and stopped a young woman passing by.

“Beautiful lady, are you interested in learning how to make your Pet more charming? Come to our Dream Beauty Pet… ”

…

Qiao Sang took the Fire Fang Dog to a Pet supply retail store on the third floor.

Following the signs, she arrived at the merchandise she wanted to buy.

“Come, Fire Fang Dog, see which one you like,” Qiao Sang said with a smile to the Fire Fang Dog.

The Fire Fang Dog looked curiously at the items in front of it.

There were beads strung on a thread, and also bracelets of different styles and colors.

“Ya.”

The Fire Fang Dog pointed with its paw at the blue beads strung on a thread.

Qiao Sang picked up the beads and weighed them, her hand uncontrollably sinking 50 centimeters.

“Let’s stick to the bracelet; this isn’t good for your neck,” Qiao Sang said, looking at the Fire Fang Dog’s neck.

Fire Fang Dog: “???”
