Spirit Pet Pill
"Shanna, these ' Little Pills ' are called pills, similar to the Potions we usually use, so you can't just take them casually."
Bell explained.
He knew all too well that his younger sister's talent for food was in no way inferior to his own. It seemed he would have to keep a closer eye on Shanna from now on.
"Oh..."
Little Shanna was somewhat disappointed. At the same time, she was also somewhat dissatisfied with this Treasure Pavilion.
Her Gege bought her lots of delicious food while they were outside. Seeing how grand this Treasure Pavilion was, she thought there would be even better food inside. But who knew it was even worse than a roadside stall!
Little Shanna, who had already run around the Treasure Pavilion quickly, was feeling a bit bored. However, being an obedient and good child, she didn't disturb her Gege as he looked at the merchandise in the display cases, but instead quietly followed behind him.
After dispelling his younger sister's dangerous idea, Bell began to examine the pills in front of him.
There were many kinds of pills on the counter, but none of them could arouse Bell's desire to buy them.
Either there are Potions with the same effect that can be used as a substitute, or it can be done with magic, so there is absolutely no need to specifically buy elixirs.
However, as he walked to the very back of the counter, the introduction of a certain elixir caught Bell's attention.
This pill is called "Spirit Pet Pill," a type of pet food specially prepared for pet lovers. The description states that long-term use of this Spirit Pet Pill can accelerate a pet's growth and enhance its potential.
"Could you please take out this Spirit Pet Pill so I can take a look?"
Bell spoke politely to the clerk behind the counter.
"Brother."
Suddenly, Shopkeeper Wang, who had somehow appeared behind Bell, popped up.
Compared to Bell's father, who only flirted with girls and didn't buy anything, and his mother, who picked out a bunch of trinkets but ended up with less than 100 Gold Yuan in total, Shopkeeper Wang felt that following this seemingly immature Japanese kid would be more lucrative.
"What kind of pet is yours? Different types of pets require different types of Spirit Pet Pill."
Although Bell was somewhat speechless about the change in how he was addressed, from "distinguished guest" to "brother," he didn't say anything.
After listening to Shopkeeper Wang's explanation, Bell thought for a moment and then opened the suitcase.
"Fiona! Come out quickly! There's something delicious to eat!"
Bell called out loudly to her beloved pet as she looked at the open suitcase.
"Aww~~!"
As the saying goes, like master, like pet. Fina, who was sleeping comfortably on Bell's bed, instantly lost all sleepiness after hearing the words "there's something delicious to eat."
Using her newly awakened and still-unmastered flying ability, Little Fina stumbled and tumbled her way out of the suitcase and crashed headfirst into Bell's arms.
"Hey bro, what kind of food do you think would be best for my Fina?"
Bell asked shamelessly.
Shopkeeper Wang moved closer to Fina and observed her carefully for a while.
He did sense a fluctuation of spiritual energy when the 'kitten' rushed out. But now, he couldn't find anything special about it.
In the end, Shopkeeper Wang couldn't figure anything out and concluded that Fina probably only had a thin bloodline of demon beasts and was not a precious species.
"Try this."
Shopkeeper Wang instructed the shop assistant to take out a small box of Spirit Pet Pill from the storage box behind the counter and place it in front of Bell.
Without much thought, Bell picked up a Spirit Pet Pill and fed it to Fina. After all, his Fina was an omnivore and could eat anything.
With her mind filled with thoughts of "delicious food," Fina didn't think too much and immediately popped Fina "Little Pills" into her mouth when her owner handed them to her.
Chew~ chew~
"!?"
Under the watchful eyes of Shopkeeper Wang, Bell, and Shanna, Fina's face visibly changed from yellow to green, and then from green to purple...
"Ptooey! Ptooey~! Ptooey~!"
Fina didn't know how to describe her feelings at that moment; she felt that she might no longer be able to believe!
As a young animal, it experienced betrayal for the first time in its life.
"Where's the delicious food you were promised?! What on earth is this bitter, fishy, and astringent stuff?!"
It's a shame that it has always trusted its owner so much. Is it true that all humans become 'liars' after they grow up?
Fina is still the same innocent and adorable Little Fina, but her master is no longer the same master...
Overwhelmed with grief and indignation, Little Fina simply couldn't bear this injustice!
Normally, it would jump on its owner and throw a tantrum, only for the owner to promise it lots of delicious food before it would reluctantly forgive the owner.
But now, Fina dared not do that. As astute as it was, it couldn't ignore the person standing behind its master, its former master, silently watching it— 'Shanna Great Demon King '!
Unable to get any affection from its owner, Little Fina had no choice but to target the only one of the three people there whom it could afford to offend.
That's right! It's that fatso who fed it those awful-tasting "Little Pills- chan" balls!
"Eek! Eek!"
As Fina lunged at Shopkeeper Wang, Bell quickly reached out and hugged his adorable pet, stopping Little Fina from giving Shopkeeper Wang a makeover.
It seems that the spirit beast pill from earlier really didn't suit Fina's taste at all! Not only did the little guy's expression change unpredictably and his acting was phenomenal, but even his cries have changed!
Grabbing the wagging Little Fina, who was baring her teeth and claws and determined to teach Shopkeeper Wang, Bell quickly pulled out a skewer of lamb from his pocket and stuffed it into Fina's mouth, finally calming it down.
Startled by Fina, Shopkeeper Wang took two steps back, distancing himself from Bell.
"This shouldn't be happening!"
Scratching his head, Shopkeeper Wang looked completely puzzled.
"Those spirit beast pills contain a trace amount of catnip, which is perfect for cats. This has never happened before!"
"..."
(lll¬ω¬)
After hearing what Shopkeeper Wang, Bell was at a loss for words.
To be honest, Bell wasn't sure whether her feline companion, Fina, belonged to the cat family. From a historical and legendary perspective, perhaps it should be said that cats belong to the ' Bi'an ' family?
However, Bell wouldn't explain any of this to Shopkeeper Wang. Don't be fooled by how affectionately the two of them call each other "brother" and "older brother." Just take it with a grain of salt; anyone who takes it seriously is a fool.
"Brother, Gege don't know what to do in this situation either."
Seeing that Bell didn't seem to be offering any explanation, Shopkeeper Wang shrugged.
"Then let's take out one of each type of Spirit Pet Pill and let Fina try them one by one. Don't worry, put it on the tab, and we'll pay for it all at the end."
Seeing that Shopkeeper Wang seemed hesitant to speak, Bell decisively added the second half of his sentence.
