Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 1286 Thunder Rat Returns

Hearing about the disturbance, Su Ping was somewhat surprised. To this day, his shop was comparable to the central temple of the Divine Court, and no one dared to cause trouble here.

Extending his senses, Su Ping quickly spotted the source of the commotion. The crowd, startled, parted to reveal a large, short, stout figure moving swiftly along the ground.

It wasn't a human, but a... mouse.

"Thunder Mouse?"

Su Ping was stunned when he saw that it was a Thunder Rat; he never expected to see it again.

Su Ping remembered that it had been waiting outside the store for a while, but then it finally met another girl who took it away, and it must have become her pet.

Soon, Su Ping noticed that the Thunder Rat's purple fur was stained with thick blood, and its whole body exuded an extremely strong bloody smell. His heart sank, and he thought of a bad guess.

At this moment, the lightning rat startled the people in line, and it darted through the crowd and rushed to the store entrance.

"Whose pet is this, daring to cause trouble here!" A customer at the Star Lord level stepped forward and was about to capture the Thunder Light Rat.

But at that moment, Tang Ruyan, standing at the shop entrance, recognized the Thunder Mouse and exclaimed, "Don't touch it!"

The customer was taken aback and immediately withdrew his hand in a huff. This was Su Ping's territory, and he had only tried to curry favor with the other party. Tang Ruyan, as the star employee of Su Ping's shop, speaking up at this moment could only mean that this pet beast was related to Su Ping's shop.

"Little lazy mouse, what brings you back?"

Tang Ruyan walked towards the Thunder Rat, her face full of surprise.

The lightning rat didn't stop. The moment it got close to him, a flash of lightning appeared, and it teleported past her and into the shop.

Soon, Thunder Rat looked around the shop and saw Su Ping standing in the hall, staring at it.

A pair of human eyes, a pair of rat eyes, their eyes met.

In an instant, blood-red moisture seemed to well up in the small, dark purple eyes of the Thunder Rat, and it suddenly pounced on Su Ping.

Su Ping seemed unmoved, merely staring at it. As it pounced, he opened his arms, and the Thunder Rat, like a bolt of purple lightning, crashed into Su Ping's suspicion.

The fine, fluffy mouse fur had become somewhat rough and dry, with strands of congealed blood clinging to it, making it feel rather unpleasant to the touch. However, Su Ping gently stroked it, gradually purifying the bloodstains on its body.

The Thunder Rat's body trembled slightly, but Su Ping felt not fear, but sorrow.

Although he had some suspicions, Su Ping's heart sank. Although the Thunder Rat was not his pet, it was, after all, his first customer and the first pet he had ever bred.

Inside the store, the people in line looked at Su Ping holding this low-bloodline rat-beast with some surprise. Judging from Su Ping's appearance, he seemed quite close to this pet, but they could all see that the rat-beast's bloodline was only average, and it would be at its peak if it could cultivate to the Starry Sky Realm.

Nowadays, the cultivation levels of the customers in Su Ping's shop have obviously improved, generally ranging from the Starry Sky Realm to the Star Lord Realm. There are still customers below the Starry Sky Realm, but the numbers they get in line are resold at high prices to these elites in the Starry Sky Realm and Star Lord Realm. It's a matter of willing buyer and willing seller, and Su Ping doesn't have the energy to manage it.

After being stroked for a while, the Thunder Rat's body gradually calmed down. The next moment, purple light gathered on its body, and it raised its head from Su Ping's arms. Then, a beam of light flashing with purple lightning gathered on its forehead. It was its soul. At this moment, it actually offered its soul, wanting to sign a contract with Su Ping.

Su Ping paused, staring into its eyes. After a moment, Su Ping released his soul power, inscribed a spirit beast contract, and completed the contract signing with the Thunder Light Rat.

From now on, Thunder Rat will be Su Ping's battle pet.

The signing of the contract confirmed Su Ping's suspicions.

Why?

Su Ping tried to communicate with Lei Guangshu through consciousness, hoping to find out what he was thinking.

Soon, a scene appeared in Su Ping's mind. It seemed to be a desolate planet that had been turned into a battlefield. Various missiles and thermal weapons were set up between the primitive plains and hills. Missiles flew high in the sky and detonated in the distance with a roar. The sky was filled with the white smoke trails of missiles tearing through the air like claws.

In the nearby mountains and valleys, countless human figures charged forward, along with various battle pets, while their opponents were swarms of insects and beasts.

Su Ping recognized them at a glance as Abyssal Starry Sky Worms, which included a large number of blue beetles and a small number of silver beetles.

In the midst of the battlefield, a figure was extremely close, yet incredibly blurry, as if deliberately blurred. Everyone and everything around was clear, except for this slender figure.

Su Ping's expression changed slightly, realizing that this was the Lightning Rat's memory.

The blurry figure was most likely the girl who had adopted the Thunder Rat earlier.

The fact that the Thunder Rat was able to return without any trace of a contract suggests that it was either abandoned by the girl or that she died in battle; in this case, it is undoubtedly the latter.

Su Ping fell silent for a moment.

The first owner of the Thunder Light Rat, a girl named Su Yanying, sacrificed herself in the Blue Star Wars.

And now, its second owner has also sacrificed himself in a space war.

When the master sacrifices himself, the contract breaks and the master's memories are erased from the pet's mind.

Thunder Mouse waited silently outside the shop, not even knowing who it was waiting for. Finally, it met a second girl who became its owner, but unexpectedly, it was another separation by death!

Su Ping thought of the little skeleton and understood the feeling all too well.

At this moment, the memory fragments in Su Ping's mind disappeared, and Su Ping saw the Thunder Rat in his arms making a squeaking sound. An extremely strong will, like a surge of blood energy, entered Su Ping's mind.

The emotion conveyed, translated, is: Become stronger! Become stronger!

Although it had forgotten its first owner, Su Yanying, and its second owner, it seemed that some kind of belief had been etched into its heart. This time, it did not choose to be dejected or continue to wait outside the store. Instead, it wanted to sign a contract with Su Ping and become stronger. In its memory, Su Ping was a terrifying devil.

But now it has chosen to sacrifice itself, willingly surrendering itself to the devil.

It has even forgotten why it wanted to become stronger, and why it was sad.

But it still rushed to Su Ping's side immediately and made this choice. Su Ping didn't know why it could still retain such an obsession after forgetting its memories, but it didn't matter anymore.

"You've fallen too far behind. I'll train you more rigorously and cruelly. I won't let you lose your master again..." Su Ping murmured to himself, holding the Thunder Rat.

When Thunder Rat heard Su Ping's words, its body trembled slightly, as if some terrible memories had been stirred up. But it did not struggle. Instead, it raised its head and squeaked twice, as if to say, "I'm not afraid!"

Su Ping patted its head, then selected several professionally bred battle pets from Joanna, and went to the pet room to enter the breeding world.

This time, Su Ping chose the Golden Crow World.

Such a top-tier breeding ground was too harsh for the Thunder Light Rat, but Su Ping did not make special concessions for it. In addition to giving the Thunder Light Rat high-intensity training, he also had his own reasons for coming to the Golden Crow World. He wanted to ask the Golden Crow Clan about the ancestor and the usage of the Nine Flavors Heavenly Fire.

When it comes to the ancestors who used fire, the Golden Crow clan is definitely among the top.

When Su Ping sealed the Nine Flavors Heavenly Fire within the chaotic universe, he felt that the Golden Crow bloodline within his body was also being stimulated in some way, as if it wanted to devour this fire seed.

But Su Ping knew that with his bloodline and power, it would be difficult to devour it; he would only perish by self-immolation.

"Come out."

Su Ping summoned the Thunder Light Rat and all his other battle pets. They were teleported to a sand dune. Su Ping had been to the Golden Crow World several times and found that there was very little greenery here. Most of the land was sand dunes and mountains, which seemed to be related to the scorching environment. Plants grew sparsely, and most of the plants that could survive were divine herbs and trees.

The Thunder Rat leaped out of Su Ping's storage space and quickly became alert. Its rat eyes darted around, looking around. This familiar feeling seemed to be engraved in its genes. The long-lost feeling seemed to have returned at this moment. It couldn't help but shiver and wanted to escape.

But soon, it stopped again. For some reason, it had a thought in its mind that made it want to become stronger, to become stronger at all costs, and to become stronger madly!

This thought was deeply rooted, like a sharp blade embedded in its head, constantly reminding it of its existence.

It couldn't even resist the thought, and couldn't help but grin, feeling a sense of compliance and urgency.

Su Ping sensed the Thunder Rat's reaction and his eyes flickered slightly. In the past, this guy would have already scurried to his feet, seeking safety and protection, only to be kicked away. But now it was baring its teeth and grimacing, as if it was enduring something or struggling with something. But no matter what, it did not retreat or dodge again.

At that moment, a presence rapidly approached from within the sand dunes.

Su Ping had already sensed that it was a small beast at the Star Lord realm. However, even though they were both at the Star Lord realm, the small beast in the sand dunes was far more terrifying than those outside. After all, this place was inhabited by ancient divine and demonic creatures, most of which possessed chaotic power within their bodies. Even the divine beasts of the Primordial God Realm would find it difficult to compare with them at the same realm.

"go!"

Su Ping immediately ordered the Thunder Light Rat and several battle pets that the customers wanted to raise to rush forward. As for the Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast and the others, they stayed where they were. Their current strength was enough to compete with the gods and demons of the God-Sealing Realm. Fighting the little beast in front of them was considered bullying the other party.

Soon, Su Ping discovered that the Thunder Rat had actually rushed to the front, its body crackling with electricity, its fur standing on end, displaying the cultivation of the Starry Sky Realm. Stepping with the fusion of the Great Dao of Space, it instantly approached the Sand Dune Beast. Dazzling lightning erupted, the Thunder Dao and the Great Dao of Space intertwined, transforming into hundreds of lightning blades that slashed down.

The small beasts in the dunes were not to be trifled with either. With their hard shells, they withstood the lightning blades while quickly charging towards the lightning rats.

With a thud, Thunder Rat was sent flying by the pincers of the Sand Dune Beast, falling into the sand pit like an air bag and rolling hundreds of meters. Before the Sand Dune Beast could give chase, the other customers' battle pets arrived, and a chaotic battle quickly broke out.

At this moment, the Thunder Rat also got up from the ground. Without panting, its body surged with even more intense electricity, its purple eyes turned red, and it screamed as it charged forward again.

Injured, counterattacked, injured again, charged again.

Over and over again, the same thing happened to the other customers' battle pets, except that the Thunder Rat was acting on its own initiative, while the other customers' battle pets were stimulated by Su Ping's killing intent cultivation technique and forced to fight passively.

Seeing the Thunder Rat fighting so desperately, Su Ping became even more silent. At the same time, he did not stop it, but instead intentionally controlled the other battle pets, letting the Thunder Rat bear the more severe attacks alone.

After a long time, the small dune beast finally ran out of energy and prepared to escape. Su Ping casually pointed and finished it off. Then, he kneaded it with his palm, and his power spread out, compressing its body from a size of more than 200 meters to a meatball with a diameter of two centimeters. All the impurities inside were removed, leaving only the rich flesh and blood energy.

Su Ping tossed it to the Thunder Rat and patted its head: "Eat up, eat more, you'll become strong soon."

The Thunder Rat seemed to understand Su Ping's words, and quickly swallowed it with a bite.

Soon, its wounds began to heal rapidly, and Su Ping also used the contract to pass on many of the great Daos he had comprehended to it, helping it to open up a small world.

While the Thunder Rat was digesting and absorbing nutrients, Su Ping also embarked on a journey to travel and raise pet beasts.

A few days later, Su Ping encountered a Golden Crow of the Golden Crow clan wandering and patrolling. Su Ping approached the Golden Crow and explained his purpose. To Su Ping's surprise, the Golden Crow recognized him and immediately led him to the ancestral tree of the Golden Crow clan.

Arriving at the Golden Crow Clan again, Su Ping felt somewhat conflicted. Gazing at the endless, towering trees and the powerful Golden Crows perched on the trunks, he couldn't help but think that if this power could be brought into the universe, it should be able to quickly wipe out the Abyss Insects outside the cosmic rift.

"You've finally arrived, huh?"

A golden figure flew over. It was also a golden crow, but its appearance was noticeably more slender and noble than other golden crows. Every feather seemed to be a natural carving, extremely perfect.

Upon landing, she transformed into an incomparably beautiful figure—it was Di Qiong.

Upon seeing Su Ping, Di Qiong sensed something unusual. After a careful look, she was immediately surprised. Compared to last time, Su Ping seemed to have changed drastically.

"You broke through?"

Di Qiong found it unbelievable. In just a short time, Su Ping's cultivation speed was too exaggerated; he had even surpassed hers.

"I guess so." Su Ping only realized he had forgotten something when he saw her, and said, "Sorry, I forgot to bring you the movie I promised last time. I'll come again next time."

"What brings you here this time?" Di Qiong looked Su Ping up and down and said, "There seems to be a special power about you, very strong, that could erupt at any moment."

"Is it charm?"

"Pah!" Di Qiong spat several times, rolled her eyes, and said, "You always come here with something. So, what brings you here this time?"

Su Ping swept his hand, and the void cracked open, revealing a gap in the chaotic universe. The Nine Flavors Heavenly Fire, sealed inside, resembled a blazing star suspended in the dark sky.

"I want to learn fire control techniques," Su Pingzhi said.
