Chapter 101 Cat and Dog Market, California Kingsnake

Back to my own villa.

Xu An took a shower first. After cleaning up last night, he felt a bit smelly and didn't feel quite right.

After taking a hot shower, Xu An was horrified to discover that she had no clean clothes to change into.

That's right. After buying this big villa, he went to Du'an, and then he came back and experienced yesterday's events. How could he have had time to buy these things?

Xu An had no choice but to put the clothes back on and then drive to the mall.

Buy all the things you need.

Because he had bought quite a lot of things, Xu An also called over two middle-aged men waiting for work on the roadside and asked them to follow him and help him carry the things.

A small incident occurred during the shopping trip.

A man was walking his Labrador Retriever around a shopping mall when a child saw him and tried to play with the dog.

The Labrador barked a few times, startling the child who quickly hid behind his parents.

The man raised his hand and slapped the Labrador twice across the face.

It was hit so hard that it immediately squatted on the ground and buried its head in its chest.

"Waaaaah, Master, please don't hit me! I was wrong, I was wrong! I was just trying to scare this little two-legged creature."

Xu An, who was passing by, couldn't help but laugh when he heard the Labrador pleading for mercy.

To be honest, the [Mastery of Beast Language] talent is quite interesting at times.

After buying all sorts of daily necessities and putting them in the trunk, Xu An headed back, passing by a cat and dog market along the way.

Thinking of his mission, he stopped the car and prepared to go check it out.

The cat and dog market had a strong stench that made Xu An feel uncomfortable.

I walked into a dog specialty store.

Several men and women were playing with the dog inside the shop.

"That two-legged creature stinks! Stay away from me!"

"It's those two-legged creatures again, so annoying."

"Two-legged creatures, please take me back quickly, I don't want to stay in this cage anymore."

The dog's barking automatically translated into human speech into Xu An's ears.

He frowned slightly. Could it be that this talent couldn't be turned on or off automatically?

With a thought, what was just human speech instantly turned into dog barks.

Xu An raised an eyebrow. The talent of "Mastering Beast Language" was quite human-like.

Upon seeing someone walk in, the shop assistant immediately stepped forward: "Handsome, are you looking to buy a dog?"

"Let me see," Xu An replied, his gaze sweeping over the various dogs in the glass cabinet.

"Handsome, what breed of dog do you like? We have a wide variety of dogs here, small, medium, and large," the shop assistant introduced.

"Men like you usually buy medium or large dogs. Many people like Huskies, Golden Retrievers, and Labradors. Small dogs like Poodles, Corgis, Bichons, and Pomeranians are more suitable for women."

With the help of the shop assistant, Xu An looked around and his gaze fell on a dog with white fur all over its body except for its black ears.

"What kind of dog is this?" Xu An didn't know much about dogs, only recognizing some common breeds.

"Handsome, this is a Border Collie, one of the smartest breeds of dogs," the salesperson introduced.

"How much?" Xu An asked.

"This Border Collie is of excellent quality, only one month old, and costs 3000 yuan," the shop assistant said.

"Okay, I'll take it."

"Woof woof woof." Xu An approached the dog cage, stretched out his hand, and barked like a dog to tease it.

The bark, upon reaching the little Border Collie's ears, automatically transformed into dog language.

"Little one, would you like to come home with me?"

The little Border Collie's eyes widened as it stood up from its cage, its tongue lolling out, its tail wagging wildly, and barking "woof woof woof."

The words, falling into Xu An's ears, were automatically translated into human speech.

"Wow, you can actually communicate with me, Master! I'm willing! I'm willing!"

Upon seeing this, the shop assistant smiled and said, "Handsome, you and this Border Collie are really meant to be. Look how much it likes you."

"Me! Me too! Master, I'm willing to go with you!"

"Master, take me with you!"

"Master, master! I'm a good boy/girl, take me with you!"

Many of the dogs were lying in their cages resting with their eyes closed, but suddenly they all stood up, wagging their tails at Xu An and barking.

This sudden and bizarre scene left several shop assistants and a group of men and women watching the dogs stunned.

What's going on?

Why did all these dogs suddenly start barking and wagging their tails frantically at the man?

The shop assistant frowned and asked, "Handsome, are you carrying something with you?"

"No, what could I possibly bring?" Xu An spread his hands and shrugged. "Maybe it's because these dogs all like me."

Several shop assistants and men and women looked at Xu An with suspicion.

Xu An didn't bother with their stares.

He is now going to conduct an experiment. The task of taming beasts refers to taming only one hundred beasts, or one hundred different species, or one hundred different kinds of beasts.

After obtaining the Border Collie, Xu An checked the mission progress.

Current task progress: 0.5%

Xu An bought another Samoyed.

The task progress did not increase accordingly, and Xu An immediately came to the conclusion.

To tame a hundred beasts, one must mean a hundred different kinds of beasts.

Then, considering the "Kingdom of Beasts" in the second half of the mission, Xu An immediately understood.

With two dogs and some dog food, Xu An ran to the cat shop next door.

After browsing around the store, Xu An picked out a Ragdoll cat with pure white long fur and big, sapphire-like eyes.

Current task progress: 1%

Xu An revealed an expression that said, "I knew it."

The cat and dog market doesn't just sell cats and dogs; it also sells other reptiles, arthropods, aquatic animals, and more.

Examples include hamsters, lizards, snakes, spiders, and goldfish.

Xu An first put the two dogs and the cat in the back seat, preparing to go see the other animals.

Just as he was about to close the car door, the two dogs and the cat started barking and staring at him.

"Master, master, where are you going? I want to go with you too. I don't want to stay in this cage." This is a Border Collie.

"Master, I want to stay with you, I don't want to stay here." This is a Samoyed.

"Meow~ Master, I'll be good, please take me with you~" This is a Ragdoll cat.

Border Collies are male, while Samoyeds and Ragdolls are female. To the average person, it's impossible to tell their gender from their meows, but to Xu An, it was exceptionally clear.

Both Samoyeds and Ragdoll cats have female voices when they speak.

Xu An hesitated for a moment, "Then you must behave and stay by my side. You are not allowed to run around or bark without my permission. Anyone who violates the rules will be locked in a cage and never released again."

The Border Collie and Samoyed immediately sat down obediently. "Don't worry, Master! We'll definitely behave."

The Ragdoll cat imitated them, sitting down and saying, "Meow~ Master, I'll be a good boy/girl."

Xu An opened the cage and released the three of them.

The three of them immediately rubbed against Xu An's legs, making noises like, "Master, you smell so good, it feels so nice."

"Meow~ I love it so much~"

Seeing the three little ones rubbing against his legs like they were in heat, Xu An was both amused and exasperated. "Alright, alright, stop rubbing. Come with me to see the other animals first."

"Yes, Master!"

"Meow~ I know~"

Thus, a novel scene appeared on the street.

A man walked in front, with two dogs and a cat lined up behind him, not running around.

This scene drew surprised glances from passersby, and some even took out their phones to record the amazing moment.

One girl couldn't resist going up to him and asking, "Handsome, how did you train your dog and cat? How are they so obedient?"

"I just bought it," Xu An replied.

"How come they're so obedient? And they look so young!" the girl exclaimed.

"Because I'm an animal tamer," Xu An replied with a joking laugh, and walked straight ahead.

Along the way, passersby would gather around to watch, and Xu An didn't like the feeling of being watched wherever he went.

"The three of you don't need to walk so neatly. Just follow me and don't run around."

Upon receiving their master's command, the three little ones then dispersed.

Next, Xu An went into a reptile shop.

Reptile shops don't have as strong a smell as cat and dog shops.

When the shop assistant saw a customer arrive, he immediately came over to greet him.

"Handsome, what would you like to buy?"

As he spoke, he noticed the three little ones following behind Xu An and immediately smiled like an aunt: "Such cute puppies and kittens."

She crouched down and reached out her hand to touch it.

"Woof woof woof!" The Border Collie and Samoyed barked at her.

"Ugh, this two-legged creature smells awful! Don't touch me!"

"Stinky two-legged creature, stay away from me."

The Ragdoll cat gracefully dodged away.

The shop assistant was so frightened that he withdrew his hand.

Xu An lowered his head and scolded, "Don't shout."

"6

The Border Collie and Samoyed immediately shut their mouths.

The shop assistant exclaimed in surprise, "Handsome, are they really that obedient?"

Xu An smiled and nodded, then stepped forward.

There are many reptiles inside the transparent glass case.

Snakes and lizards of various colors and shapes.

Xu An walked up to a transparent glass cabinet.

"Handsome, you probably haven't kept this kind of reptile before, have you? This is a corn snake, the most suitable pet snake for beginners."

"We currently have three varieties: original color, brown spots, and red."

After glancing at it twice, Xu An turned his gaze to the glass cabinet next to him.

Inside was a black and white striped snake.

"Handsome, this is a California kingsnake, it has a very docile temperament."

The California kingsnake, coiled up in a circle, seemed to notice Xu An's gaze. It slightly raised its body, flicked its tongue, and hissed.

What reached Xu An's ears automatically transformed into a different set of words.

"Two-legged creature, what are you looking at! Haven't you ever seen a snake as handsome as me before?"

A strange light flashed in Xu An's eyes.

Unexpectedly, the talent of "Mastering Beast Language" allows me to communicate with snakes.

That's ridiculously strong.

Xu An glanced at it twice, then shifted his gaze to the other glass cases.

There aren't many types of snakes. Besides the two mentioned above, there are also the hognose snake and the milk snake.

Secondly, there are lizards and geckos.

"Handsome, this is a bearded dragon. They are kept in large numbers and are omnivorous."

"This is the original bearded dragon, that's the yellow bearded dragon, and that one over there is the white bearded dragon."

"That short, fat one over there is a blue-tongued skink."

"This area is full of geckos."

"We have leopard geckos, crested geckos, fat-tailed geckos, and goateas, among others."

With the help of the shop assistant, Xu An looked at each item one by one.

During the viewing, he discovered something very important.

[Proficient in animal language] Not all animals can communicate with each other.

He couldn't communicate with geckos and lizards that didn't call out.

They couldn't understand Xu An's words at all, just like they were unenlightened.

During the journey, the shop assistant even took out a leopard gecko and placed it in Xu An's hand so he could feel it.

Although he couldn't communicate with the other party, Xu An's [natural constitution] was playing a miraculous role.

The leopard gecko lying in Xu An's palm seemed to like him very much, gently rubbing its head against his palm.

The shop assistant watching was astonished, exclaiming, "Handsome, you and this leopard gecko are really destined for each other! It seems to really like you. This is the first time I've ever seen a gecko like this!"

No matter how persuasive the salesperson was, Xu An had no intention of buying it.

There are plenty of animals in the world, and he would only buy those he can communicate with. He would never buy an animal that he cannot communicate with.

Finally, Xu An returned to the glass display case of the California king cobra that he had seen earlier, the one that called itself "Grandpa".

"Can I take it out and have a look?" Xu An turned to ask the shop assistant next to him.

The shop assistant nodded: "Of course, California kingsnakes are very docile and won't bite."

As they were talking, the shop assistant opened the glass case and took out the California kingsnake.

"Hey! You two-legged creature, what do you think you're doing? I was perfectly fine inside, why did you take me out like this?!"

The California king cobra flicked its tongue, and every word reached Xu An's ears.

This snake has a temper.

"Damn two-legged creatures, I'm really angry! Put me back right now!"

"The shop assistant handed the snake to Xu An, and its voice abruptly stopped."

"Mmm~ This feels so good! I love this feeling!"

It coiled in Xu An's palm, closed its eyes, and gently swayed its tail, showing a very contented expression.

Of course, this is how Xu An sees it.

The shop assistant couldn't tell it was comfortable; instead, because its head was in Xu An's palm, its eyes were closed and it wasn't moving, they thought something was wrong with it.

"Huh, what's wrong? Is she sick?" the shop assistant asked, puzzled.

"Excuse me, handsome, wait a moment, let me take a look." As she spoke, she reached out and picked up the California kingsnake.

As soon as it escaped Xu An's grasp, the California king cobra opened its eyes, flicked its tongue, and tried to burrow towards Xu An.

"You wretched two-legged beasts, put me back right now! I'm going to enjoy myself."

"Oh, you're not sick," the shop assistant said.

Seeing that it wanted to crawl towards Xu An, the shop assistant said with a smile, "Handsome, it seems that this California kingsnake really likes you. Look, it insists on crawling towards you."

Xu An took the California kingsnake and imitated its hissing sound.

To the shop assistant, Xu An was teasing it.

But when it landed in the ear of the California king cobra, it suddenly opened its eyes, its pupils contracted, and it stood up.

"Did I hear that right? You two-legged creature, you actually spoke just now!"

"You heard me right, little one. Are you surprised? How about it, do you want to come back with me?"

"My God! You can actually speak our language? You wouldn't happen to be a snake in disguise, would you?!"

The California kingsnake is still reeling from the shock.

"Hey, little guy, I'm asking you a question. Do you want to come back with me?" Xu An said. "If you don't come back with me, I'll let you go back."

"Yes, yes, yes! I'll go back with you, you two-legged creature. You must have come here specifically to save me, right?" the California kingsnake said smugly.

Xu An's forehead creased with annoyance; this California kingsnake was truly interesting.

The shop assistant stood to the side, watching with suspicion as Xu An stared at the California king cobra like a fool, hissing.

She couldn't help but think to herself, "Could such a handsome guy be an idiot?"

"Beautiful lady, I want this California kingsnake."

The clerk snapped out of his daze and flashed his signature smile: "Okay, handsome, this California kingsnake is $350."
