Chapter 554 Strange Constitution

Joanna sat in a nursing pen on the side, eyeing both with curiosity.

Su Ping didn’t offer an explanation.

“Get up.”

Su Ping kicked Tang Ruyan and canceled their temporary contract.

Soon, Tang Ruyan came back to her senses. She opened her eyes and looked around, confused.

The store?

She felt her head was heavy.

“What happened to me?” Tang Ruyan rubbed her head and asked Su Ping.

“You got drunk.”

Joanna rolled her eyes.

Can he make up a worse lie?

However, to Joanna’s greater astonishment, Tang Ruyan didn’t seem to doubt that. She simply said “oh,” seemingly having bought such an excuse.

What…

Joanna was dumbstruck.

They had been working in the store for quite a long time; how come she failed to see that the girl was a fool?

How could she have believed that lame excuse?

Su Ping was relieved since Tang Ruyan didn’t question him. He had just asked the system. The Dream Inducer worked on her and would stop working from that moment onwards.

Her memories of the cultivation site were sealed away.

“Do you remember anything before you passed out?” Su Ping decided to sound her out.

Tang Ruyan shook her head. “I don’t. Anyway, why was I drunk? I’ve never been a drinker.”

“I told you to drink some wine with me. Uncle Li next door had a dog that gave birth to some puppies. I decided that it would be good to celebrate,” Su Ping answered.

Joanna: “…”

Tang Ruyan could not believe what she had just heard. “Anyway, it doesn’t matter. I thought the Tang family was in trouble. Get ready. It’s about time you go back home.” Su Ping waved his hand.

Tang Ruyan came back to her senses at the mention of her family. She crawled up from the ground. “How, how long have I been out?”

“A day or two.” Su Ping heaved a sigh. “You should really practice your drinking. You can’t hold your liquor at all. A girl should learn to drink and smoke.”

Tang Ruyan: “…”

A day or two?

Really?

That long?

She never drank wine and the Tang family forbade drinking. She didn’t even know if she could trust Su Ping or not. “I’m going to go right away,” Tang Ruyan said at once.

Either way, the important task at hand was to hurry back to the Tang family. She was sure she would hate herself for the rest of her life if she were too late!

Su Ping didn’t stop her. “Be careful.”

“Yes, I will,” she said.

She dashed out toward the door, only to see that she couldn’t get the door to open. Su Ping opened the door for her. To her surprise, the store looked different; more spacious, and more elegant.

“What’s this about?”

“Oh, I redid the store while you were out,” Su Ping answered, “We’ve made money, right? I thought it was high time we dolled up the store.”

That makes sense, Tang Ruyan thought.

Su Ping could make the pets become amazing and he did charge princely sums for his services. Still, the customers saw it as money well spent. Su Ping had a stunning daily revenue that no other pet store could compare to. Only the franchise stores operating in major base cities under famous brands could have revenues close to what the Pixie Pet Store made.

“Where’s the bathroom?” Tang Ruyan looked around and asked.

“I thought you were in a hurry.”

“But I cannot go back with messy hair and a dirty face!”

Su Ping pointed the way. Su Ping summoned the Little Skeleton while Tang Ruyan went to clean herself up. He patted its skull and told it again what he had said before.

The Little Skeleton nodded.

Although its reactions could be seen as slow, it was actually quite smart.

Soon, Tang Ruyan came back.

She had fixed her hair and cleaned her face. Now and then, there would be a glint of sharpness in her eyes that had not been there before.

She might not have realized it herself but she was becoming more capable and experienced than before.

Su Ping was less worried.

“This is strange. I think my hair is longer,” Tang Ruyan voiced her doubt.

“Is that so? I didn’t notice.”

“My hair is longer. I’m sure of it.” Tang Ruyan sounded affirmative. Girls were quite sensitive to the length of their hair. Su Ping was forced to come up with an excuse. “I think it’s probably because of the drinking. The alcohol stimulated the female hormones in you, which have in turn made your hair grow. The fact it can happen is proof that you’re not resistant to alcohol at all, because you never drank in the past.”

“…Are you sure?”

“Yes, I’m sure!”

Tang Ruyan moved away from the subject. She cast a look at the Little Skeleton.

“Are you sure you want to lend the Little Skeleton to me?”

“Yes.”

Tang Ruyan was relieved. She would worry less with the Little Skeleton keeping her company.

“I shall go then.” Tang Ruyan looked into Su Ping’s eyes.

She wasn’t sure if she would make it back alive. She felt sad.

Su Ping could tell she was having second thoughts. But he was sure that she would be fine with the Little Skeleton and her improvement. She would only suffer from misfortune if several legendary battle pet warriors were to strike her at the same time.

“Go. Remember to bring us some souvenirs.”

Su Ping was still the ever heartless creature. Tang Ruyan bit her lower lip and eventually turned away.

Tang Ruyan didn’t hear anything else
