Astral Pet Store novel - Chapter 427

Chapter 427 A Dog Losing Control

Su Ping put on his backpack and boarded the train.

The cabin was spacious; there were single-bedrooms welded in, and each room had a door plate.

Su Ping found his room.

He heard someone’s surprised scream when he was about to push the door open. Following that, Su Ping smelled something overly sweet, like candy.

Su Ping turned around, only to see a dog that was the size of an elephant. The dog had red fur and it was staring at Su Ping, showing its teeth. There was some vicious glow in the dog’s eyes.

It was a Red Phantom Dog, a battle pet with a seventh-rank bloodline.

This Red Phantom Dog should have just reached adulthood and was at about the fifth rank.

Even so, the Red Phantom Dog had already begun to show ferocity.

Surprised, Su Ping gazed at the dog. He noticed that standing behind the dog was a girl dressed up beautifully. The latter was covering her mouth, at a loss about what to do. Su Ping realized that the Red Phantom Dog was the girl’s battle pet.

But the Red Phantom Dog was losing control.

Standing next to Su Ping were other passengers who were frightened by the fierce Red Phantom Dog. Some of the passengers were dressed up quite nicely and Su Ping could tell they were rich. Visibly scared, those people hurried to the side.

They were just ordinary people and they were defenseless in front of the fifth-rank Red Phantom Dog.

People in other cabins were startled. Someone came out to look. “The Red Phantom Dog is losing control!” “Who is its master? Put it away!” “I think it belongs to that girl.”

People commented left and right.

As someone had pointed out who the battle pet’s master was, everyone turned to the girl standing behind the Red Phantom Dog. Several battle pet warriors who were more powerful began to scold the girl. The girl just covered her mouth and stood there in a daze, alarmed and bewildered.

Su Ping was speechless.

Why would she take out a battle pet that she couldn’t tame completely rather than letting the dog stay in her contract space? The dog was losing control and she didn’t seem to have the ability to keep it in check. How ridiculous!

When he was about to teach the dog a lesson, all of a sudden, he heard a sweet voice. “Nobody move!”

Everyone turned around.

It was a slim and tall girl with hair cascading down her shoulders. She had delicate facial features but the coldness on her face made her appear detached.

She was talking as if giving orders.

“Don’t be nervous. Your battle pet is emotionally unstable. Do not run and do not turn your back at it. I’m a trainer and I will protect you!” the girl said to Su Ping solemnly. Though her tone was just as cold as the look on her face, her words were warm.

Su Ping: ??

He turned around and saw her eyes.

The girl was surprised that Su Ping was still in the mood to look around at this time. She hurried over to him.

In the meantime, the Red Phantom Dog took action. It was like the dog either thought its game had shown a weakness, or that it felt it had been humiliated. The dog showed its sharp fangs. Trembling, the dog barked and went after Su Ping.

Oh crap!

Everyone was frightened.

The young man was doomed!

That was what many people were thinking. The young man, who was standing in front of the Red Phantom Dog, was carrying a common backpack and dressed homely. Some battle pet warriors had noticed there were astral powers in Su Ping but they thought he was just a low-rank battle pet warrior. “Stop!” shouted the icy girl who was hurrying over to Su Ping’s aid. She raised her hand. On her slim wrist was a crystal bracelet. A beam of faint light burst out from her palm. The girl patted the Red Phantom Dog’s forehead.

Su Ping was startled by the girl’s bold actions.

Was she trying to be a hero? He could tell the girl was merely at the fourth rank.

She could be torn apart by a fifth-rank Red Phantom Dog in an instant. What gave her the courage to protect other people?

While Su Ping was still in shock, a beam of green light was shot from the girl’s hand, which landed on the Red Phantom Dog’s head.

The next second, the Red Phantom Dog stopped on the spot.

Then, the violent look in the Red Phantom Dog’s eyes faded away, and its eyes went back to their normal light red color.

“Woof?”

The Red Phantom Dog stopped in front of Su Ping. It barked in confusion and looked around.

The Red Phantom Dog saw its master and ran over to her happily. The dog squatted down by the girl and rubbed its head against her dress.

The passengers were relieved.

Someone praised the girl who was standing by Su Ping’s side. “Well done!”

“Impressive!”

“Was that a trainer’s skill? That is so good!”

The others around them clapped to congratulate her.

Su Ping was still in a daze. He didn’t expect that the girl would be able to use a trainer’s skill and she seemed to be quite good at it.

“Why didn’t you listen to me?” Ji Qiuyu first darted a glance at the Red Phantom Dog and then at Su Ping. “Well…”

W

Su Ping opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say.

Since she did try to save him, Su Ping managed to find the words. “Thank you.”

Ji Qiuyu snorted. She paid no more attention to Su Ping and stepped to where the master of the Red Phantom Dog was.

The girl had come back to her senses. She bent over to hug her battle pet.

“What kind of master are you? Don’t you know that Red Phantom Dogs cannot eat sweets? Haven’t your teachers taught you that? Red Phantom Dogs can easily go crazy if you feed them candy!”

Ji Qiuyu looked down at the girl from where she stood. “Besides, why didn’t you use the power of your contract to contain the dog? What if innocent people got hurt?”

The girl didn’t expect that someone would scold her. In a daze, she looked up, only to see a breathtakingly beautiful girl her age. Reluctant to show weakness, the girl stood up, wiped away the tears she cried out of fear, and refuted, “Who the hell are you? What makes you think that you can yell at me? What did you just do to my Red? You’ll never be able to afford the compensation if something happened to my Red!”

The others glared at the girl. How unreasonable of her.

Ji Qiuyue pulled a long face. “I’m just using the trainer’s skill to suppress its violent nature. If you suspect that something has happened to your dog, go and have it checked out. Do not let your battle pet stay outside with you if you lack the ability. You would be damned if your dog had hurt anyone!”
