Dream Pet Shop

Xia Ji came back to his senses, remembered the system's prompt, and quickly carried the mermaid baby out of the incubator carefully.

When touching the baby mermaid's body, Xia Ji was stunned for a moment. This feeling was very strange, slippery and cold, and even a bit chilly, completely different from the previous pets.

The baby mermaid couldn't live without water in its infancy, Xia Ji was a little anxious and didn't know where to put it.There is a large empty fish tank downstairs, but it is business hours and there are still customers, so it is impossible to take the baby mermaid downstairs.Xia Ji had a flash of inspiration and thought of the bathroom.

When the system was upgrading and renovating the store, it also upgraded the bathroom and equipped it with a bathtub. It should be fine to put the baby mermaid there temporarily.

Xia Ji came to the bathroom, filled the bathroom with water, and prepared to carefully put the baby mermaid into the bathtub, but the little guy never opened his eyes.Xia Ji asked the system a little worriedly: "Xiao Chong, it hasn't woken up yet, if I just put it in the water like this, will it choke on the water?"

【...Little pet can't answer this question either, it is recommended that the host buy "Plane Pet Encyclopedia" as soon as possible. 】

"The key is that I still can't afford it now." Xia Ji was speechless, so he had to carefully put the baby mermaid into the water, paying attention to its reaction all the time.

Just when the baby mermaid's silver tail was completely submerged in the water, Xia Ji felt the tail sway slightly, and then kept his eyes closed, the baby mermaid suddenly raised his head and opened his eyes.

With shiny silver hair, fair and clear skin, and a pair of big blue eyes like the ocean, Xia Ji felt his heart skip a beat, and couldn't help sighing that the mermaid was just as beautiful as the one in the legend.

Xia Ji's two hands were still dragging the mermaid baby's soft body. The mermaid baby looked at Xia Ji for a while with its big blue eyes, and suddenly pulled out the thumb that had been in its mouth, and then grabbed Xia Ji's body. Put the thumb into the little mouth.

"Hey! Dirty hands!" Before Xia Ji finished speaking, he felt a sharp pain from his fingertips. It seemed that the small and sharp teeth in the baby mermaid's mouth bit his finger, and then wrapped his cold tongue around him. finger, began to suck it up.

Xia Ji was stunned, the baby mermaid was... sucking his blood?

Fortunately, the baby mermaid let go of his mouth after only taking a few puffs, and looked at Xia Ji happily.Xia Ji quickly withdrew his finger and took a look, the fingertip was still bleeding.

Xia Ji was already in a mess: "Xiao Chong, why did it suck my blood?"

[Silver sharks are relatively rare pets, and the pets don't know much about their habits. It may be a kind of behavior of recognizing relatives. 】

"Recognition of relatives?" Xia Ji looked at his fingers in confusion.

The baby mermaid looked at Xia Ji with a big smile on his face. Seeing that Xia Ji was looking at his injured finger, he stretched out his chubby hand and patted the back of Xia Ji's hand to comfort him. He suddenly said, "Don't be afraid."

Xia Ji: "!" It turns out that Yinxia can also talk.

The mermaid baby suddenly let go of Xia Ji's hand, twisted its body in the bathtub, tried to float the silver fish tail to the surface of the water, then frowned, stretched out its chubby hand to grab a scale from the fish tail, and handed it to Xia Ji.

"How can you pull your own scales!" Xia Ji was taken aback, and rushed over to check if its tail was injured.Only when Xia Ji got closer did he realize that the silver shark's tail was very shiny, and the fine scales were perfectly arranged, and it was impossible to find where it was pulled just now.The silver tail patted the surface of the water, and then sank under the fish tank.

Xia Ji asked it worriedly: "Does it not hurt?"

The mermaid baby still persistently held up the scale in its hand, and looked at him with a smile.

Xia Ji was really frightened by what it did just now. Seeing that it was fine, he sighed and took the scale.

"Don't be afraid." The mermaid baby said it again, and patted the other chubby hand with one chubby hand, as if signaling Xia Ji to put the scales on the injured finger.

Xia Ji followed suit suspiciously, and put the gleaming silver scale on the bleeding thumb. The scale quickly melted into water covering the wound, and then was quickly absorbed by the skin, and the wound healed completely in the blink of an eye.

"Hee hee." The baby mermaid clapped happily when she saw that Xia Ji's fingers were ready.

Xia Ji was even more surprised: "This is..."

[The chimaera may be a healing pet with the ability to heal wounds. 】

Xia Ji vaguely recalled that the last time his finger was pecked by Ah Feng, Long Wei also used saliva to help heal the wound, so the mermaid baby and Long Wei have the same ability.

"Hmm... Do you want milk?" Xia Ji shook the bottle in his hand, and he didn't know what to feed the baby mermaid.

The baby mermaid swam over, put its nose close to the bottle in Xia Ji's hand, sniffed it, slapped its tail in a small splash, and shook its head to express its dislike.

Xia Ji asked: "Then what do you want to eat?"

"Meat!" The mermaid baby raised its chubby hand and replied.

Xia Ji: ...So it turns out that mermaids are carnivores.

"Okay, then you stay here obediently, and Dad will prepare food for you."

When Xia Ji walked out of the bathroom, he still felt dazed for a while. He couldn't believe that he had hatched a mermaid from a pet egg and kept it in his bathtub. It always felt very dreamy.

Xia Ji didn't realize until he went downstairs that he should feed the baby mermaid with pet growth agent, probably because he was a little flustered when he met an aquatic pet for the first time, so he didn't think of it at all just now.

It was dinner time at this time, and almost all the customers in the store had left. Ah Feng was tidying up the cups and plates on the tables and chairs, and the ninja cat lay motionless on the sofa.Xia Ji turned and went into the kitchen behind the bar, wanting the Dormouse to cook some meat.

"Has the baby been born?" The Dormouse clasped his hands on his chest, looking at Xia Ji expectantly.

"How do you know, Shushu?" Xia Ji was a little surprised.

The Dormouse excitedly said, "I, I smell the baby, it's salty."

Xia Ji thought about it, maybe it was really salty. "That's right, it's a mermaid baby. It's temporarily in the bathtub on the second floor. The little baby wants to eat meat. Can Shushu help it do it?"

"Of, of course!" The Dormouse was so excited that he turned around and immediately started working in front of the stove.

Xia Ji came out of the kitchen, wanting to sit on the sofa and rest for a while, by the way, check Weibo to see what the guests who came today are saying.

As a result, when he opened Weibo, he found hundreds of messages about him. Xia Ji clicked on it and found that they were all asking him about the same thing - "wish cake".

Xia Ji was confused, what the hell is "Wishing Cake"?

He clicked on the Weibo of his fan, and found that it was posted by a customer who came to the store today.

"Dream Pet Store has launched a wishing cake! Not only is it delicious, but it's also a supernatural wishing cake. Come and eat it!"

This Weibo has not been posted for a long time, but it has already been retweeted over a thousand times. In the retweet, several other people also posted photos.

Xia Ji clicked on the picture they sent, and found that it was just a matcha cake made by Dormouse. How did it become a "wish cake"?He couldn't figure it out.

"Strange," Xia Ji showed Long Wei this Weibo, and asked him, "Brother Long, look, everyone is saying that our store launched a wishing cake, who named it?"

Long Wei clicked on the picture and took a closer look, and suddenly found a clue. He looked through the comments again, and sure enough, someone mentioned Ah Feng, and he soon understood what was going on. "It's okay, the Phoenix's skin is itching again."

"?" Xia Ji had a black question mark on his face.

Long Wei pointed out those key comments for Xia Ji to read, and then turned around to clean up Ah Feng.

"This brat, can you still do it!" After reading the comments, Xia Ji finally found the small footprints on the cake in the photo, and was about to be stunned by Ah Feng.Xia Ji knew that Ah Feng's personality was more narcissistic, and he only thought it wanted to leave a mark to show off or something.

Ah Feng was carried out of the kitchen by Long Wei, and she turned back into a fluffy lump, trembling incessantly.

"Feng, are you messing around again today?" Xia Ji sighed.

"I don't. qaq" Ah Feng shook her head like a rattle.

Xia Ji showed it the photo, and said seriously: "You still said no, how can you step on the guest's cake!"

"I, I have to wash my feet." Ah Feng lifted her slender legs to show Xia Ji.

Xia Ji rested his forehead and sighed: "...well, this is also an important point."

Under Long Wei's terrifying pressure, Ah Feng tremblingly explained the ins and outs of the incident.After hearing this, Xia Ji felt that Ah Feng could not be entirely blamed.And because Ah Feng hit the right button, he actually made a popular "Wishing Cake", which is more or less a blessing in disguise.

"Well, it's not all your fault this time, but you can't do this in the future."

Xia Ji looked at the comments on Weibo, and thought it might be a good idea to use this opportunity to sell the "wish cake".

At this time, the Dormouse had already prepared a plate of delicious meatballs and was carrying them to the bathroom on the second floor.

When the bathroom door opened, the mermaid baby keenly smelled the fragrance in the air, and poked out of the water, with two chubby hands resting on the edge of the fish bathtub, looking at the dormouse curiously.

The Dormouse was shocked by the beautiful baby mermaid, covered his mouth and sighed, "You are so beautiful."

"Hee hee." The baby mermaid showed him a harmless smile and asked him, "Are you here to bring me meat?"

"Yes," replied the Dormouse.

"Then come closer." The mermaid baby flicked its tail.

The Dormouse hurriedly took two steps closer with the little meatball, and squatted on the edge of the bathtub. The mermaid baby took his hand actively, but before he could be happy, he saw the mermaid baby opened its mouth and bit it.

"Oh! Pain..." the Dormouse yelled, "Why did you bite me? qaq"

The mermaid baby let go of his mouth and looked at him suspiciously: "Huh? Didn't you give me meat?"

The baby Dormouse was terribly frightened, so he quickly served the small meatballs, and stammered, "Don't, don't eat rats, eat this."

"Oh." The mermaid baby blinked its big innocent eyes, reached out and took a meatball and threw it into its mouth, chewing and chewing.Then his eyes widened in an instant, he picked up the plate directly, poured all the remaining small meatballs into his mouth, and started chewing with puffed cheeks.

The Dormouse shivered.

"Delicious!" The mermaid baby wiped its mouth and exclaimed.Seeing the Dormouse trembling with the hand he had just bitten off, he immediately said, "Oh, wait a minute."

Then without hesitation, he took another scale off his silver tail and handed it to the Dormouse.

Dormouse: "..."

The author has something to say: Mermaid baby: "I pull, I pull, I pull..."

Xia Ji: ... I'm afraid this kid is stupid, so isn't he afraid that he will be bald?
