"Come again~"
Standing at the shop entrance, watching Shang Xin leave with the Exquisite Butterfly in her arms, beside herself with joy, Xu Ran couldn't help smiling.
The first customer of Cloud-Gathering City's Starfire Foster Shop had left satisfied. That was a good sign.
What? Those two who came yesterday?
Well... they didn't count.
Xu Ran didn't have to wait long before his second customer arrived.
It was a teenage boy. Judging by his clothes, he came from a wealthy family, but he looked somewhat haggard. He walked in alone and looked at Xu Ran. "Excuse me, do you offer boarding services?"
"Yes." Xu Ran stood up. "What Contract Beast do you need boarded?"
"Isn't this a little expensive?" The boy didn't answer Xu Ran's question. Noticing the price list hanging on the wall inside the shop, he couldn't help frowning slightly. "This is the first time I've heard of paying for boarding with Beast Tamer Points."
Paying with Beast Tamer Points?
Xu Ran glanced at the boy in surprise.
The only boarding services in his shop that required Beast Tamer Points were those for Marshal Rank and Monarch Rank Contract Beasts.
Was this boy merely complaining casually, or was the Contract Beast he wanted to board at that level?
He looked even younger than Xu Ran. Surely his Contract Power couldn't have reached that level already?
"Show me your boarding facilities first." The boy didn't turn and leave because of the prices. He looked back toward the entrance. "Come in."
"Roar~"
With a low roar, a humanoid Contract Beast roughly four meters tall walked into the shop with heavy steps, radiating a wild, ferocious air.
Its limbs resembled a human's, but were exaggeratedly brawny and packed with explosive muscle. Connecting those limbs was a body covered in thick fur.
