“Hmm, not bad, it’s you!’¹ The middle-aged man looked Xu Ran over, then nodded in satisfaction, “You provide washing and grooming services here, right?”

He glanced around, quickly spotting the price menu.

“Wow, your prices are not cheap.”

“Our prices may not be low, but we guarantee good value for your money.” Xu Ran had faced skeptical customers countless times before, and at this moment, he appeared calm and unperturbed.

“Ha, alright!” The middle-aged man did not challenge Xu Ran’s words. He laughed and then yelled towards the outside of the store, “Chasing Wind, come in!”

“Xi Lu Lu~”

In came a striking unicorn from outside the door. It’s towering body in bright red and sturdy muscles admired by everyone present.

It was much taller than regular horses, at least four metres high. Looking at the pure colour and robust muscles of the unicorn, Xu Ran’s eyes brightened and he couldn’t help but exclaim, “What a handsome horse!”

“Ha! Of course!” Hearing Xu Ran’s praise, the middle-aged man’s face revealed a triumphant look. “Chasing Wind is the champion horse of our base!”

“Champion horse? What does that mean?” Xu Ran asked curiously. At the same time, he used the System identification function to view the magnificent horse-type pet beast.

[Race name: The Wind God’s Colt

Attribute: Wind attribute

Growth Step: Elite Stage

Body size: Large Size

Washing and Protection Requirement:

General comment: An un-groomed The Wind God’s Colt but well-maintained in its daily routine. Perhaps, the pampered one needs to experience a higher level of joy.]

The system never took anything seriously.

“I think, young boss, you may not have paid attention to the horse races in Qingzhou City?” The middle-aged man chuckled when he heard Xu Ran’s question.

“That’s true. I haven’t.” Xu Ran shook his head. He remembered hearing about horse races in his past life, but the horses raced in this world were clearly not ordinary horses but such horse-type pet beasts.

“Our Chasing Wind from our base was the champion horse of the last horse racing competition!” The middle-aged man’s face reflected pride as he recollected the victories of his Horse Beast.

“Xi Lu Lu~”

Chasing Wind raised its head with a proud neigh, reflecting a sense of humanized pride in its eyes, seemingly proud of its own achievements.

“So that’s it, impressive!” Xu Ran sincerely complimented.

“Although Chasing Wind was the champion of the last horse race, horse racing is intense.” The middle-aged man sighed, “Tomorrow is the new horse racing competition and this time, there are powerful competitors from other Mount Beast Breeding Bases.”

“It will be a bit difficult for Chasing Wind to win the upcoming championship.”

“I understand now!” Xu Ran nodded in realization, “You want to use grooming services…”

“That’s right!” The middle-aged man laughed, “You guessed correctly; I want Chasing Wind to get a touch of your champion aura through a bath.”

Xu Ran:”…”

No, I didn’t guess it.

His expression turned somewhat strange.

Having serviced so many customers, he had encountered all kinds of peculiar reasons for grooming.

But this was certainly the weirdest one.

“We horse racers believe in omens.” The middle-aged man chuckled, “You are a champion, grooming my Chasing Wind might enhance his chances of becoming a champion tomorrow.”

I can indeed increase your horse’s chance of winning the championship tomorrow, but not in this way!

Xu Ran secretly found it ridiculous.

Anyway, it doesn’t matter.

“Let’s start the grooming now.” Xu Ran glanced at the hanging clock on the wall, “When I finish grooming your pet beast, it will be time to close the Fosterage Shop.”

“I appreciate that.” The middle-aged man nodded quickly, his face anticipating.

In the Grooming Room, Xu Ran led the towering Wind God’s Colt to the vertical grooming area at the side and patted its back while standing on the tips of his toes, “Stand still.”

“Squeak?? ”

With a slight sound, the floor of the grooming area slowly descended, allowing Xu Ran to easily reach the back of the Wind God’s Colt.

Then he picked up the shower head from the side, which was already adjusted to the right water temperature, and began to sprinkle it over the Wind God’s Colt’s robust back.

“Xi Lu Lu-”

The usually composed Wind God’s Colt suddenly widened its eyes.

The warm water seeped through its extremely short fur and hid under its skin, bringing a refreshing feeling.

As water flowed from its back to the sides of the body, the Wind God’s Colt felt as if it was being gently and warmly embraced from the back.

Its body shivered slightly from the comfort, while its eyes squinted, revealing a look of humanized satisfaction.

[Received Pleasure Value +7 from the Wind God’s Colt]

[Received Pleasure Value +7 from the Wind God’s Colt]

[Coming from…]

Xu Ran glanced at the Pleasure value notification that popped up and nodded slightly.

Good, it looked like another large amount of Pleasure value was credited into his account.

After thoroughly wetting the body of The Wind God’s Colt, Xu Ran took out a fine brush, dipped it in a small amount of cleanser, and then began to gently brush it starting from one side of The Wind God’s Colt.

The Wind God’s Colt’s body tensed abruptly.

It only felt that the area touched by the brush had countless thin and gentle bristles penetrating into the edges of its fur, lightly resting around the follicles, and then sweeping back and forth.

An odd ticklish feeling, similar to an electric shock, emanated from each follicle, spreading deep into the robust body of The Wind God’s Colt.

It felt its own body, capable of tearing through the raging wind and running wildly, becoming so powerless yet so light at this moment, as if a light breeze could lift it high into the sky.

The Wind God’s Colt slowly closed its eyes, hiding the endless confusion in them. It slightly raised its head, as if listening to the call of the wind.

A long-suppressed horse whinny echoed for a long time in the grooming room.

“Xi Lu Lu ”

“Chasing Wind!”

The middle-aged man outside, hearing the sound, immediately changed his expression.

He was here to bask in Xu Ran’s championship aura to get a good omen, but he didn’t know much about Xu Ran before.

If anything happened to his champion horse…

He felt a tightness in his chest and, without a second thought, dashed directly into the grooming room, pushing the door open.

“Meow”

Seeing the middle-aged man’s aggressive demeanor, Ziyun, the cat dozing off on the counter, squinted slightly.

It had seen quite a few guests shocked by the strange noises their pet beasts made.

But it was the first time it saw a guest react as strongly as this one did.

In the grooming room, Xu Ran’s movements ceased due to the sudden intrusion of the guest.

“What can I do for you?” He turned his head to look at the guest.

“Um…”

The middle-aged man looked around, his expression shifting from initial shock to astonishment.

He saw his Wind God’s Colt standing in a deep pit, with its head sticking out to receive Xu Ran’s grooming, its eyes closed with a face full of enjoyment.

Could it be that the strange sound he heard earlier was just an illusion?

He couldn’t help but ask, “Chasing Wind, are you alright?”

“Xi Lu Lu~” (I’m fine!)

Chasing Wind slowly opened its eyes, some resentment appearing in them.

Its body, which had been interrupted, was still shaking slightly.

The just-now-feather-light feeling, that made it almost want to dance with the wind, was suddenly interrupted by its own Beast Master.

Right now, it felt as if it was stuck in mid-air after half-flight, feeling particularly uncomfortable not knowing whether to rise or descend.

“Are you really ok?” The middle-aged man still uncertainly asked!

The Wind God’s Colt glanced at the brush Xu Ran had paused in mid-air, its voice becoming a bit impatient.

“Xi Lu Lu” (I’m really alright!)

Would you hurry up and let him continue grooming me!?

“Oh, alright then,” the middle-aged man scratched his head, “I’m sorry, probably it was all my misunderstanding.”

“It’s okay,” Xu Ran smiled, “Do you need me to get you a stool so you can stay here with it during the grooming?”

“Right! Sorry for the trouble!” Still somewhat concerned about The Wind God’s Colt, the middle-aged man nodded without hesitation.

Moving a chair for the guest to sit nearby, Xu Ran resumed grooming.

As the brush touched its body, The Wind God’s Colt once again closed its eyes.

Here it is!

That’s the feeling!

It felt as if its body, originally stuck in mid-air and slowly falling, was once again becoming buoyant and floaty.

The Wind God’s Colt felt itself speeding upward, finally reaching the top of the clouds.

Its body constantly shivered, its eyes closed again, and its expression became content. A long-suppressed horse whinny squeezed out from the depths of its throat.

“Xi Lu Lu ”

The middle-aged man’s eyebrows furrowed tighter. He tried to keep quiet, but in the end, he couldn’t bear it and spoke out.

“Uh…. Boss, can you be gentler? Don’t hurt it!”
