Super God Pet Shop

Chapter 494 The Heavenly King Appears (First Update, 6700 words!)

"Mr. Su, could we speak in private for a moment?"

"Want to borrow one?"

Xie Jinshui nodded and gestured for Su Ping to come to the window seat next to him, where he set up a soundproof barrier.

Seeing his solemn demeanor, Su Ping also became somewhat serious, and names with four or five characters floated through his mind...

"Boss Su, I just received the latest news. Those monsters that we drove away before seem to be showing signs of resurgence. I'm worried that they will invade again!" Xie Jinshui said in a deep voice, sharing all the information he had previously obtained with Su Ping. Su Ping is currently the number one fighter in Longjiang. If a large-scale beast tide comes, we will still have to rely on Su Ping.

Su Ping was slightly taken aback, then relaxed: "That's it? If they invade again, we'll just kill them again. Mayor, there's no need to worry."

Seeing Su Ping's calm reaction, Xie Jinshui's lips twitched slightly, feeling both happy and sad.

If you have the ability, you'll speak with confidence!

He could only sigh inwardly at his inability to comprehend the path to becoming a legend. He had been stuck at the limit of being a titled figure for over a hundred years, just one opportunity away!

If he can become a legend, why would he need to rely on others?

Why should we be so tense and fearful because of a beast tide?

Shaking his head slightly, Xie Jinshui put aside these distracting thoughts and said to Su Ping, "Boss Su, I, Xie Jinshui, will remember this kindness!"

Although Su Ping was willing to help, he did not take it for granted.

During the defense of the base city, Xie Jinshui regarded the willingness of powerful figures like Su Ping, as well as the five major families and other titled individuals, to lend a helping hand as a matter of goodwill!

Speaking of Su Ping and the five major families, they are all from Longjiang and should have taken action. However, Xie Jinshui knew that participating in the war would harm their interests and was risky. Only honest and simple people would talk about morality all the time, because the people were so poor that all they had left was a morality that was easy to manipulate.

It is unrealistic to try to use these moral principles to restrain those in power; it will only backfire. That is the reality.

Whether it's Su Ping, the five major families, or other titles, these people who have the ability to help can also jump to other base cities to make a living. Although they may not be as comfortable as Longjiang, it's just a matter of choice.

Making choices and weighing options is a human instinct.

What Xie Jinshui could do was to use his attitude and the treatment he offered to tilt their scales in favor of Longjiang.

"This is what I should do. I'm also from Heilongjiang," Su Ping said. He didn't think as much as Xie Jinshui did. He didn't need any thanks. He wasn't fighting for Xie Jinshui, but for his hometown, for his parents, and for the customers who came to his shop.

Also, to appease the neighbors who used to call him "Little Su," and the noodle shop on the street that served him the best food...

There are so many homes here; this is Su Ping's home.

It is the place where he lived after he came into this world and opened his eyes.

It is the place where his parents and he grew up.

If he had the ability to protect it, he would never let this place collapse!

Upon hearing Su Ping's words, Xie Jinshui gave Su Ping a deep look. He had such extraordinary combat power, but he had rarely seen a person as "simple" as Su Ping. He thought of all the information about Su Ping's life. He had the most detailed information in his hands, including which hospital he was born in and the name of the doctor who delivered him.

Perhaps this is what makes a nineteen-year-old boy so endearing.

Thank you!

Xie Jinshui thought to himself, but didn't say it aloud. Some kindnesses are hard to express because they are too heavy to bear!

Without lingering any longer, Xie Jinshui said goodbye to Su Ping and hurriedly left through the passageway next to the banquet hall.

Watching Xie Jinshui leave, Su Ping pondered for a moment, then turned back to the dining table. He glanced at Tang Ruyan and Zhong Lingtong and said, "Are you full? If you are, we'll head back."

"Ugh... hiccup!"

As soon as Zhong Lingtong opened her mouth, she let out a loud burp, quickly covered her mouth, and looked at Su Ping with her bright eyes, her round face turning red.

"You really can eat..." Su Ping's lips twitched slightly.

Seeing that they had all eaten their fill, Su Ping immediately found his mother, who was surrounded by some wealthy women. Seeing that she seemed to be having some trouble dealing with them, he told her that he was going home early.

Li Qingru readily agreed upon hearing this. Although these people were very polite to her and went along with what she said, she felt that she was from a different world from them and that they were just exchanging pleasantries.

When the noble ladies saw Su Ping, they all respectfully addressed him as Su Fenghao.

They were unaware of Su Ping's title, so they addressed him in this way to avoid appearing impolite.

Su Ping nodded, then led his mother and Tang Ruyan away from the banquet hall to go home ahead of time.

On the other side of the banquet, Qin Duhuang, Zhou Tianlin, Mu Beihai, and others gathered together.

Although they were chatting with each other, their attention was always on Su Ping. When they saw Su Ping leave early, their eyes flashed, but their faces remained expressionless.

Since the main guests have all left, there's no point in them staying any longer.

"It's getting late, and I have some things to do at home, so I'll head back first," Liu Tianzong said, getting up first. He smiled at Qin Duhuang and the others, then turned and left with the elders beside him.

Zhou Tianlin and Mu Beihai also got up to say goodbye and leave.

Soon, only the Qin family remained at the dinner table.

"Shuhai, don't tell anyone about the league matters yet. These guys don't know about Su Niwang yet, so let them stay in the dark for now," Qin Duhuang said to Qin Shuhai beside him, casually conjuring a soundproof barrier.

Qin Shuhai was slightly taken aback and asked, "Why?"

During the conversation, the others tried to probe him, but he saw the old man's wink and didn't answer directly. Now was the perfect time to ask.

"You've been wandering around for so many years, how come you're still so clueless? If they knew about this, Boss Su's status in their hearts would be even higher, and they would be even more polite to Boss Su. In that case, our attitude wouldn't stand out. How can we make Boss Su have a better impression of our Qin family?" Qin Duhuang shook his head helplessly and said irritably.

Qin Shuhai was speechless, never expecting that someone could scheme against him like this.

But thinking about it, getting along well with Su Ping is indeed something worth considering.

Su Ping already has the ability to kill a legend. If he becomes a legend in the future, the fact that the Qin family has a friendly relationship with Su Ping alone will elevate the Qin family's status. In all aspects of family operations, no one will dare to make things difficult for them, and even if they provoke others, others may not dare to retaliate!

"I see."

Qin Shuhai said.

Qin Duhuang nodded, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he sighed with emotion. He said, "Slaying a legend and taking on all the titles in the league in one go, I wouldn't have believed it if you hadn't told me. No wonder you all came back at the same time, and he only went for one day before returning. I thought he rushed back on purpose, but I didn't expect him to end the league in such a domineering way."

Qin Shuhai smiled wryly, "Don't tell me you can't believe it, even I feel like I'm dreaming when I see it with my own eyes!"

"It's been so many years since a genius at the level of a reverse king has appeared."

Qin Duhuang shook his head, a mixture of sighs, envy, and a sense of powerlessness. This feeling of powerlessness was similar to when he faced that king beast earlier and almost couldn't protect the Violent Fire Ape Beast, making him feel old.

"If those people with titles knew that Boss Su is actually not even twenty years old this year, they'd probably go crazy," Qin Shuhai said with a wry smile.

The Qin family had already investigated Su Ping's identity information. Although the information in the information was completely different from the current Su Ping, and some parts concealed information about Su Ping's growth into a stronger person, at least his age was correct.

The materials include photos of Su Ping from childhood to adulthood, student photos from elementary school to junior high school, as well as strange selfies that Su Ping took later. These photos show his current appearance and how he has grown up.

Therefore, the age is absolutely real.

Qin Duhuang's lips twitched slightly. Suddenly, he didn't want to talk about this anymore. He said, "You said the Northern King also appeared in the league. If that's the case, then the special reward for this league must have been specifically used as bait. It just so happened that it caught the fat fish, the Qing family patriarch. It's a pity that he was killed before he could even jump around a few times. Just as I guessed before, some shameless old guys deliberately hid their cultivation level to avoid military service!"

Qin Shuhai said, "Grandpa, do you think the Northern King's attempt to lure them is really related to the Abyss Cave? I heard some rumors that the monsters in the Abyss Cave rioted, and it took the sacrifice of two or three legendary figures to suppress it."

"I guess so."

Qin Duhuang's eyes flickered slightly: "The Abyss Cave is in turmoil, and there are monster attacks here in Longjiang. I just saw the news that two other base cities also seem to be surrounded by monsters and are requesting reinforcements from all sides. These things are happening at the same time, which is unusual. We must be prepared."

Qin Shuhai's expression changed slightly.

"Old Xie just left too, and before he left, he seemed to have said something to Boss Su. Boss Su also left, so something must have happened." Qin Duhuang glanced at the spot where Su Ping had been standing, thought for a moment, and then immediately stood up and said, "Let's go back too. I'll go find Old Xie on the way and see what's going on."

Qin Shuhai nodded.

……

After leaving the banquet, a special car took Su Ping and the others home.

Su Ping first arranged for his mother to rest, and then sent Zhong Lingtong and Tang Ruyan to their staff dormitory. Afterwards, Su Ping returned to the store alone, turned on the lights, closed the store door, and glanced at the empty store. He felt a sense of loneliness after the hustle and bustle, but he felt quite comfortable.

Upon entering the pet room, they saw Joanna sitting in her petting enclosure, cultivating.

"Aren't you bored staying here all day long?"

"So, can I leave the store?"

"cannot."

"Then what should I say?"

"..."

Ignoring Joanna, Su Ping summoned the Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast and Er Gou, and let them stay in the fostering space next to him to nurture their spirituality.

At the same time, Su Ping flipped his hand and took out the talent stone he had obtained from the King's League!

Upon seeing the gray stone, Su Ping suddenly realized that he still didn't know how to use it.

After thinking for a moment, he took out his communicator and contacted the Sword Master.

"Boss Su?"

Dao Zun was somewhat surprised and astonished to receive Su Ping's message in the middle of the night.

Su Ping hadn't expected that he could actually get through on his first call. He knew that if Dao Zun was in another base city, he wouldn't be able to contact him.

"You're in Longjiang?" Su Ping asked in surprise.

Dao Zun laughed and said, "No, I'm still in the Extreme Dao Base City. Boss Su rushed back to suppress the beast tide, and it should be over by now. With Boss Su in charge, any beast tide that dares to invade your Longjiang is just courting death."

The Sword Master was not worried at all about the beast tide.

Although Longjiang is only a second-tier base city, the emergence of a fierce figure like Su Ping means that even if a king-level beast were to invade, it could still be repelled. Its defensive capabilities are comparable to those of the seven first-tier base cities.

"The beast tide is over. By the way, you're in the Extreme Base City, how can I contact you directly?" Su Ping asked, puzzled.

Dao Zun laughed and said, "My communication number is a special number at the continental level. You can contact me from any base city in the Asian continent, unless I am on another continent."

Su Ping was stunned. He hadn't expected such a thing. Sure enough, having a title of fame had its advantages. Qin Shuhai didn't have one, otherwise he would have been able to contact him earlier, even though he was far away in the Holy Light Base City.

"How do I get this communication number? Can I get one too?" Su Ping asked, somewhat tempted. If he had this communication number, he could contact Su Lingyue anytime. After all, she was far away, and although the vice principal was there to look after her, he still felt a little worried about her.

"Of course you can. Boss Su is a once-in-a-century rebel king. If you want him, I'll give Asia-Pacific Communications a heads-up, and they'll contact you on their own," Dao Zun said with a smile.

"Thank you." Su Ping nodded, then asked, "I asked you about the Talent Stone. Do you know how to use it?"

Dao Zun suddenly realized why Su Ping would contact him in the middle of the night, which was quite unusual.

"That's simple. As long as the talent stone comes into contact with star power, it will turn into spiritual energy. You can just let your battle pet absorb the star power directly," the Sword Master said with a smile.

Su Ping was speechless, not expecting it to be so simple.

"Okay, thanks," Su Ping said.

After hanging up the call, Su Ping looked at the talent stone in his hand, thought for a moment, and decided to focus on one thing at a time first.

He summoned the Hellfire Dragon Beast from its foster care spot and tossed it the Talent Stone.

The Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast instinctively opened its mouth, grabbed the object, and then gulped it down.

Su Ping was speechless. This feeling was like feeding a dog.

"This isn't for eating. Use your energy to refine it," Su Ping quickly transmitted telepathically.

The Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast blinked, and then its whole body surged with energy. Soon, a hazy gray light appeared on its body, similar to the light on the talent stone earlier.

The light covered the body of the Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast, shimmering dimly.

Su Ping curiously examined the Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast.

The Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast raised its head, as if there was something unseen on the top of the shop. Its pupils contracted continuously, as if it could not bear it. The purgatory flames all over its body were also fluctuating, as if a strong wind was blowing. Even its breathing became heavy.

Several minutes later, its breathing gradually stabilized, and its dragon eyes returned to normal. It raised its paw and gently scratched its head, looking at Su Ping with a puzzled expression.

It's over?

Su Ping thought for a moment, then decided to test the results: "What is 1000 - 7?"

"?"

The Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast stared at him blankly.

Seeing that it couldn't answer, Su Ping couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

He used his appraisal skill to check the attributes of the Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast.

The combat strength has changed; it's no longer 10.5, but 10.9!

It increased by 0.4!

Su Ping immediately jumped to the skill bar, glanced at it quickly, and immediately discovered that there was an extra skill, and it was a legendary skill!

Song of Purgatory!

Su Ping glanced at it twice; it seemed to be a dragon-type sonic attack.

"One talent stone for one legendary skill, not bad." Su Ping was somewhat pleased. He had heard before that there was a 50% chance of success and a 50% chance of failure when using a talent stone, making it as good as not using it at all. But in this case, it was obviously a success.

It wasn't a wasted trip for him; he fought a great battle.

"good."

Su Ping patted the Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast's thick, strong leg with satisfaction, then took it to the testing room to try out the skill.

A few minutes later, Su Ping emerged from the testing room even more satisfied. The power of this Purgatory Song was quite formidable; it was a very powerful skill.

"Go back." Su Ping let the Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast return to its fostering place to continue its nurturing.

After the Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast entered its fostering slot, Su Ping browsed through the pet space in the shop. Because of his departure, Joanna couldn't take on professional training for him, and ordinary training could be left to his shadow clone. He could relax a bit tonight.

Su Ping brought up the cultivation list and searched within the cultivation secret realm.

The old Dragon King's secret realm was recorded here, but Su Ping didn't know if the other two secret realms in the Asian continent were also recorded here.

After searching for a long time, Su Ping found that there were a great many of these secret cultivation sites. He looked at them quickly, and after about ten minutes, his eyes were starting to feel tired, but he still couldn't find any with the same name. Moreover, there was no scroll bar next to the list, and Su Ping didn't know how much longer he would have to search before he reached the end.

Just think about the nurturing planes in the system, covering the ancient era. The number of powerful beings born over countless years and the secret realms they left behind is probably terrifying.

Su Ping shook his head, having no choice but to give up for the time being. After all, the names of these secret realms recorded in the official records might not be the same as those of the Asian continent region, and searching like this, like looking for a needle in a haystack, would be hopeless.

After thinking for a moment, Su Ping randomly chose a low-level secret realm similar to the Old Dragon King's Secret Realm, where the highest combat power limit was a King Beast.

However, a king-level beast at the Heavenly Fate Realm is still an insurmountable opponent for Su Ping at present. Even with the life-saving treasure given to him by the old dragon king, he still cannot fight against it.

This time, Su Ping didn't bring the Purgatory Candle Dragon Beasts in. They wouldn't be very effective at nurturing in such a low-level nurturing plane, so it was better for them to stay in the foster care area to recuperate.

Su Ping's main purpose in going to the nurturing plane was to utilize the different time flows within it to help the little skeleton complete its awakening sooner.

This cultivation secret realm is a deep red sea of ​​blood, filled with corpses and bones.

Not long after Su Ping appeared, he encountered undead beasts emerging from the sea of ​​corpses and blood. They were all of the eighth and ninth rank. Su Ping didn't hold back and directly unleashed his star power to charge in.

Besides the Demon-Suppressing Divine Fist, he also learned some combat techniques from the other gods in the Demigod's Fallen Land. He used them in turn during close combat and gradually became proficient.

In the blink of an eye, a night has passed.

Outside, it was one night; inside the nurturing world, Su Ping stayed for more than ten days and killed for more than ten days, feeling that he had become more perceptive.

After returning to the shop, Su Ping adjusted her mindset as usual and opened the shop for business.

Today's customers are very numerous.

After yesterday's live broadcast across Heilongjiang, everyone knows Su Ping, and Xiao Taoqi's fame has reached an unprecedented peak!

There were several long queues outside the store.

"Boss Su, is it true that you defeated the beast tide?"

"Can I get your autograph? I'm a fan of your lotus root!"

"Boss Su, I'm here on behalf of my son. Thank you, thank you for avenging my son!"

Among these customers, some were curious, some were just there for the fun of it, and there was even an elderly man who came to thank Su Ping.

Hearing the old man's words, the shop became much quieter.

In the post-war celebrations, people once again thought of the heroes who died in battle.

For a moment, many people looked at the old man with solemn respect.

Su Ping hadn't expected this situation and quickly helped the old man up.

……

The shop was already full before the morning was even over.

After lunch, Su Ping chatted with Tang Ruyan and Zhong Lingtong about cultivation at the shop in the afternoon before returning to the Demigod Fallen Land to continue his cultivation.

time flies.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

For the past three days, Su Ping's store has been packed with customers.

Meanwhile, in the municipal government building, Xie Jinshui's expression grew more and more grave each day, as the intelligence gathered from the front lines was far from optimistic!

The monsters are indeed gathering!

Moreover, there is a trend towards forming a super-large-scale beast tide!

Not only that, but there are also royal beasts lurking inside, and this time, there is more than one!

At this moment, he could only hope that the other beast life reactions he detected were just passing by.

On the afternoon of the third day, a piece of intelligence suddenly arrived, and Xie Jinshui froze, sitting in his chair for a long time before he came back to his senses.

He immediately thought of asking for help.

When he picked up the communicator, the hands of this top-ranked player were trembling.

That evening.

Su Ping, Qin Duhuang, and others, who were invited by the mayor, gathered in the highest conference room of the municipal government building.

"Old Xie, why did you call us all here? Has the situation worsened again?" Qin Duhuang's expression changed slightly when he saw Xie Jinshui sitting silently. He suddenly realized that Xie's temples had turned somewhat white in just one day!

This gave him a sense of unease and foreboding.

Zhou Tianlin and Mu Beihai, who were standing next to him, also became serious.

Over the past three days, their respective families have also sent people to investigate the situation outside the base city. The beast tide is gathering, and it is extremely large. Even if Xie Jinshui doesn't tell them, he can't hide this fact!

Another beast tide is coming!

However, this time they were not too nervous. They felt quite confident knowing that Su Ping had been in the base city for the past few days.

You should know that besides Su Ping, there is another legend in Su Ping's shop!

With the addition of Su Ping, who is capable of slaying king-level beasts, Longjiang's defense and disaster relief capabilities are completely comparable to those of an A-level base city!

Su Ping casually sat down in a seat and looked at Xie Jinshui, who was not saying a word, with some surprise. Could it be that there was more than one king beast that came this time?

"Old Xie, what's going on? Speak up! You called us all here, but you're not saying a word!" The Ye family patriarch was rather impatient and spoke bluntly. Seeing Xie Jinshui remaining silent, he couldn't help but call out.

Xie Jinshui raised his head slightly, glanced at him, and then his gaze moved to Su Ping not far away.

His eyes narrowed slightly, regaining some of their vitality, and he said in a low voice, "I didn't mean to hide it from you all. The horde of monsters that gathered outside the base city this time not only includes king-level beasts, but the number detected so far... is no less than five!"

Five?!

Upon hearing this, Qin Duhuang and the Ye family patriarch who had just spoken all narrowed their eyes.

A five-headed royal beast?!

You must be kidding!

One attack by a King Beast is already a major disaster, but five King Beasts... that's enough to destroy any base city!

How could so many of these royal beasts have gathered here, and all in this wretched place called Longjiang?!

Su Ping was also surprised, not expecting there to be so many as five. He frowned. If the five king beasts attacked together, there must be a leader among them, and it was possible that a king beast at the Void Realm would appear!

Seeing the surprised reactions of the others, Xie Jinshui's lips twitched slightly. His gaze was fixed on Su Ping, the only one whose combat power had reached the King level.

Seeing the surprise in Su Ping's eyes, Xie Jinshui felt the bridge in his heart, which was on the verge of collapse, crack even more. His voice was hoarse as he said, "Besides these five king beasts... someone else has discovered traces of what appears to be the [Other Shore] Heavenly King."

silence!

The meeting room fell into dead silence.

Qin Duhuang, Zhou Tianlin, and the others stared at Xie Jinshui with their mouths agape, as if they had seen a ghost, filled with horror and shock.

The other shore... Heavenly King?

Su Ping was slightly taken aback. Seeing their reactions, he had a bad feeling.

"Old Xie, are you telling the truth? It's fake, right? You're lying, aren't you?" Liu Tianzong's voice trembled, and he seemed to be speaking incoherently.

The others were all struggling to breathe, their throats bobbing as they stared intently at Xie Jinshui.
