Pet King
chapter-1311

The pale green body fluid of the Western Chili was used over and over again. With every application, the pain lessened a little. The swelling subsided as well.

When the fluid was used up, the fat boy felt rejuvenated.

“Haha! Haha! Come to me! Come to me! If you can come at me again!” He jumped up and slammed his foot on the struggling Western Chili. His weight crushed the bug, and its internal organs flowed out. He was not satisfied and stomped two more times before wiping his shoe clean by the roadside.

Snowy and the others were disgusted and didn’t look.

Zhang Zian had wanted to take a photo of the Western Chili to check what species it was, but the fat boy had reacted quickly. He’d been unable to stop him. The bug was now nothing but a pile of vomit-like substance. He could only sigh. What a child! Once the pain was gone, he’d forgotten his ordeal. If he got poisoned again after stepping on the corpse of the Western Chili, he would indeed be unlucky.

“Zhuang! Zhuang! What are you doing?”

A man holding a briefcase rushed out of the crowd and held the boy’s shoulders. He looked him up and down.

This man must’ve been the father. After he had confiscated the mobile phone, he’d gone to work overtime. However, some of the passersby had managed to get his phone number by asking the fat boy and called him. They had not told him much about what had happened, merely mentioning that it was an allergic reaction.

He didn’t care about what his boss thought and hurriedly ran back. He had just alighted from a taxi when he saw his son being surrounded by many people. His son was standing, and that made him more relieved.

He noticed the suspicious pale green substance on his neck and wiped it with a finger. He smelled it, but it was a strange smell he did not recognize. Maybe he should lick it…

Everyone quickly stopped him. Like father, like son, but he should not be bullied too!

He didn’t even know what this was, and he wanted to lick it?

Everyone chimed in, and he lowered his head to look at the crushed Western Chili. He then carefully examined the rash that had not completely subsided on his son’s back.

“So naughty! You were almost skinned alive! You play around at home and even do so outside?” He raised his hand, preparing to hit the boy.

The fat boy held his neck and yelled, “Beat me! Go ahead! If you dare to beat me, I will tell Mom! You will have to kneel down before her tonight with no dinner!”

Everyone laughed. This kid was really overbearing, even to his dad.

The man was so embarrassed that he couldn’t wait to find a hole to hide in. After he raised his hand, he didn’t hit the boy. No one knew if it was because he cared about the boy or perhaps because of what was waiting for him when he returned home.

Zhang Zian nodded sympathetically. Without a wife, there would be no such troubles.

The man thanked everyone and took his son back home. Besides, he had already taken leave, and it didn’t make sense for him to go back to the company. It would be better to go home and discuss whether to bring the boy to the hospital with his wife.

The fat boy refused to go. He made up an excuse that he needed to go back and find his pen and notebook. He knew that when he reached home, his mother would discipline him, perhaps even spank him.

His dad knew that he was looking for an excuse. He had never seen him so serious about his homework. He often instead deliberately forgot to do his homework. There was no way he’d turned over a new leaf today.

“It doesn’t matter. I will help you get it back,” Zhang Zian said and smiled. “You can go with peace of mind. When you have time, come to my store and get it.”

The fat boy was furious and stared hard at him.

He had no choice. His dad took him away.

With nothing exciting to watch, the neighbors left as well. They went back to their families or their own mothers.

An ant found the body of the Western Chili. After returning to the nest, it quickly brought a large group of ants with it. Together, they picked up the body and returned with it to the ant nest. This fat meat could be eaten for several meals.

The netizens in the live room were also talking about the Western Chili. This kind of creature had different names in different places, but those who had suffered from it were talking about it in horror.

“Let’s go to the store and eat some Egyptian date palms.” Zhang Zian ushered Snowy into the house.

Snowy smiled. Having seen what had happened to the Western Chili, she was still feeling somewhat nauseated and couldn’t eat anything.

In the store, Zhang Zian found the gift he’d prepared for her. It was a female symbol, the ankh amulet, which symbolized life in ancient Egypt, plus a bag of dates.

When Snowy had gone out today, she’d told her parents that she would be home after a while, so she could not stay for long.

She talked with Zhang Zian and the staff. She also listened to Zhang Zian’s experience in Egypt. However, Zhang Zian had a bragging expression when he told the story, making it impossible to confirm whether he was speaking the truth or making things up. However, everyone was used to it, as he always spoke with a mix of 70% truth and 30% falsehood. It was like mixing wine with water. Luckily, it was not with sh*t.

Snowy asked him about Sihwa. Her fans and Sihwa’s fans overlapped. They were very curious as to why he and Sihwa had gone to Egypt at the same time, since Egypt was not among the top 10 preferred tourist destinations for the Chinese.

They were mainly interested in the mysterious Sihwa. They wanted to know why she spent most of her time in a small bathroom and why her body was soaked in water for a long time. Wouldn’t her skin wrinkle?

Zhang Zian certainly denied it, emphasizing that he had not gone to Egypt for leisure, but to assist Binhai University with research. The goal had been to conduct research on primitive Egyptian cats in the desert. Relevant research reports might be published soon.

Snowy had no hope of getting an answer from him and had simply asked it at random. After the question, she got up and left.

The store was quiet for a while.

Lu Yiyun buried her head in her work and made a few paintings. Wang Qian and Li Kun ate the date palms one by one, and Jiang Feifei toyed around with the marine life next door.

Zhang Zian thought about the Western Chili just now. There was a lingering uneasiness in his heart because seeing one meant that there were at least a few hundred in the area. Fortunately, the residents rarely went to the greenspace, and the impact of the species being there was relatively low. However, if it continued to spread… The consequences were unpredictable.

He looked at the time. Sihwa had returned to Binhai City, which meant that the ocean life would be attracted here again. He had to go to the seaside to play Sihwa’s songs and drive them away. He would also inspect the ocean.

In the days when he’d been in Egypt, some of the aquarium’s pets had been sold. However, Jiang Feifei didn’t know where to import goods from, so there were no new pets in the store. He decided to head to the beach and see if there were any rare marine creatures that had washed ashore.

At this time, a person outside the door looked in and asked, “Here… Is this a pet shop?”
