"Brother Ji, you!"
Lu Fei stared wide-eyed, pointing at Brother Ji.
"Shhh!"
Brother Ji, looking panicked, pulled Lu Fei aside.
"Don't blow my cover, Old Lu! I worked hard to fool this brother!"
"But when did you learn the Nine Swords of Solitude?"
Lu Fei was baffled.
Brother Ji poked with his wingtips, whispering like a mosquito, "I read 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer' before and memorized the incantations for the Nine Swords of Solitude."
Lu Fei wasn't surprised. To provide Brother Ji with a relaxed and happy environment, he had installed a projector in the coop.
Other chickens weren't interested in watching TV, but Brother Ji at that time watched it with great relish every day.
"Then what about these sword moves?"
"Cough, cough..." Brother Ji's face flushed. "I was just making them up."
Lu Fei was dumbfounded.
"Aren't you afraid it will go berserk from practicing?"
"This kid is already a bit unstable. If you fool him further, what if he starts attacking everyone he meets?"
Brother Ji pouted, "Just consider it as strengthening the body. It's all made up anyway. You see, he's always just randomly practicing like this..."
As he spoke, Brother Ji muttered in a voice only he could hear.
"I'm not teaching it the Pixie Swordplay..."
Lu Fei's head was filled with ellipses...
"What if Ironhead Kid finds out you're fooling him?"
Brother Ji immediately puffed out his chest and said confidently, "Absolutely impossible!"
Immediately after, Brother Ji beckoned to Ironhead Kid, who was still diligently practicing not far away.
"Disciple, come here!"
Disciple?!!!
Lu Fei felt his worldview being severely impacted!
The moment Brother Ji spoke, Ironhead Kid leaped and arrived in front of Brother Ji.
Suddenly, it solemnly put away its broken sword and knelt on one knee.
It let out a "Wei!"
Brother Ji said proudly, "Hear that? It called me master voluntarily. I didn't force it..."
Lu Fei looked at the scene in disbelief. Was this still the defiant, hot-tempered, eccentric Ironhead Kid he knew?
Brother Ji is truly a scoundrel!
Shaking his head and clicking his tongue in amazement, Lu Fei slowly left the yard.
He needed to calm down!
After Lu Fei left, Brother Ji put one wing behind its back and made a gesture with the other to help Ironhead Kid up.
It deliberately lowered its voice and said solemnly,
"Master will now teach you some other incantations. Remember them well."
Ironhead Kid's expression was serious, and it nodded heavily.
Brother Ji then recited:
"Gui Mei pursues Wu Wang, Wu Wang pursues Tong Ren, uh, uh...
Tong Ren pursues Da You, Jia turns to Bing, Bing turns to Geng.
What was that, oh, right!
Geng turns to Gui, the conjunction of Zi and Chou, the conjunction of Chen and Si, the conjunction of Wu and Wei, Feng Lei is one change..."
"Remembered?"
"Master, please say it again."
"Wu Wang pursues Tong Ren, Gui Mei pursues Wu Wang, Tong Ren pursues Da You, the conjunction of Chen and Si, Bing turns to Geng, Jia turns to Bing, Geng turns to Gui, the conjunction of Zi and Chou, Feng Lei is one change, the conjunction of Wu and Wei..."
"Remembered?"
"Master, what you just said seems different from before."
"......"
After leaving, Lu Fei walked on the streets of Cang Town, once again marveling at Brother Ji's deception. Ironhead Kid was obsessed with swords, and Brother Ji perfectly targeted its weakness by offering sword techniques to attract it.
Although contract beasts in this world possessed various incredible skills, tangible things like sword moves were very novel.
Amazing, Brother Ji... Lu Fei couldn't help but sigh.
However, this was also good. It solved Ironhead Kid's problem of not fitting in. Lu Fei was confident that when he became a junior Beastmaster, he could truly subdue Ironhead Kid.
At that time, the unstable evolution talent would be activated, and Ironhead Kid's combat power would likely achieve a qualitative leap.
Passing through the bustling streets, the pedestrians were bustling. In this world of universal Beastmasters, everyone would raise a contract beast. Their strength wasn't important.
After all, not everyone raised contract beasts for battle or to become a respected Master Beastmaster.
Some people didn't even have a contract with their contract beasts; they were simply in a cooperative relationship: I do work for you, and you give me food to eat. Everyone cooperated happily.
Beside Lu Fei, a man was driving a car powered by a contract beast. In front of him were two dogs running wildly. These were Wind Speed Dogs, similar to Speedy Horses, serving as means of transportation in this world. The uncle's profession was equivalent to a taxi driver in the previous world.
For example, at the entrance of an amusement park, several contract beasts with naturally funny and cute appearances were wearing heavy makeup and flamboyant props. Passing children scrambled to take photos with them. This was also a use for contract beasts.
At least in the city, contract beasts and humans coexisted harmoniously.
However, Lu Fei had also heard of various incidents where contract beasts injured or even killed people. In some places, there were even beast tides, leaving nothing but barren land wherever they went. In such situations, it often required the world government to dispatch special forces to suppress them.
After a quarter of an hour, Lu Fei entered a nearby supermarket, which was his destination.
The layout here was no different from supermarkets in the previous world. The only difference was that the supermarket was divided into two areas: one specifically for contract beasts, and the other for human daily necessities, food, etc.
Lu Fei's purpose was to find out if the supermarket sold items like MSG or bath soap.
He walked directly towards the daily necessities area.
"Hello, what can I help you with?"
At this moment, a shelf-stocker approached him and asked.
Lu Fei, after some deliberation, phrased his question carefully:
"Do you sell anything for bathing? Something you can put on your body when you bathe to make it cleaner?"
Faced with Lu Fei's abstract description, the shelf-stocker was slightly stunned, but her professional demeanor allowed her to quickly react and hand Lu Fei a bottle of something.
She asked with a smile:
"Are you referring to this body wash?"
"We have a new product, and there's a promotion! If you buy three bottles at once, you get two extra bottles for free!"
Lu Fei took the bottle from her, opened it, and sniffed. The scent was fresh and invigorating.
Seeing Lu Fei's entranced expression, the shelf-stocker seized the opportunity.
"This is the unique fragrance of Sweet Blossom! The merchant that produces this body wash owns a Sweet Blossom cultivation base and has over a hundred types of natural scents!"
Don't try to sell me on it... Lu Fei thought to himself, almost swayed by the shelf-stocker's superb sales skills.
"Well, can I squeeze some out to try?"
The shelf-stocker pointed with a finger, "There are trial-sized samples in the restroom. Please follow me."
A moment later, Lu Fei followed the shelf-stocker to the restroom.
About a dozen mini trial-sized bottles were placed on the washbasin.
Lu Fei took one, squeezed a little liquid onto his hand.
A rich, fragrant scent immediately spread, and Lu Fei couldn't help but inhale deeply.
"That's not right. There are no bubbles, and it doesn't seem to have removed the oil stains on my arm!"
Lu Fei discovered that this body wash only had a scent-enhancing function; it couldn't remove keratin and dirt like shower gel.
His expression became subtly excited.
"Do you just use this thing to bathe here? Do you have anything else?"
