After she had paid, Lu Yi Yun immediately picked up the cat as if she was afraid of losing it. But she felt that it was a bit strange; Jasmine seemed to be particularly good today. She obediently stayed in her arms after entering the shop, and didn’t even make any movements to look around. What was going on? Zhang Zian put the three new red tickets into his wallet, pulled the bathroom door open, and said, ”Come in.”
The bathroom on the first floor of Amazing Fate Pet Shop was designed by Zhang Zian’s parents and constructed by other people. They had planned to open services for bathing pets, and although it did not work out in the end, there was no issue on this bathroom’s design. The bathroom wasn’t too big; it was one meter and a half wide, two meters tall, and appeared a bit cramped.
The center was an aisle, and there was a bath counter similar to a kitchen counter on each side. At each bath counter, there were three sinks in the proper order of small, medium, and large, respectively, in correspondence to small pets, medium-sized pets, and large pets. There was also a shower spray above each sink. The sinks looked like ordinary stainless steel kitchen sinks, but their inner walls were marked with scales. What was somewhat extraordinary was that the bottoms of the sinks were lined with rubber padding. There were a lot of non-slip particles on the pad to prevent the pets from slipping and falling when they were bathing in the sink.
In theory, there were a total of six large and small sinks, so six pets of different sizes could bathe at the same time. But this type of ideal situation could not possibly appear. Bathing one pet alone was already troublesome enough; bathing six pets together would be earth shaking.
The bathroom used transparent glass that was single-handedly separated from the corner of the first floor. After Zhang Zian took Lu Yi Yun in, he closed the door to maintain the temperature. He could give her instructions just by standing outside. Zhang Zian pointed to a medium-sized sink, ”Just right there then. First, plug the bottom of the sink, then turn on the shower spray, and fill it up with five centimeters of water—there’s a scale on the inner wall, you see it right? It would be fine to just immerse the cat’s paws.” Lu Yi Yun did as he said and inserted the plug.
At this time, Wang Qian couldn’t help but open his mouth, ”Master! She is just a mere mortal, how could she be compared to master with your indestructible ability? How about having her put on some rubber gloves first? Don’t I see gloves hanging on the walls of this bathroom…” Wang Qian raised a Nulla luctus felis at home, and although his parents were taking care of it, he knew a lot of cats that would begin to toss around in chaos the moment they entered the bathroom, not to mention when bathing. He thought, ”According to master’s ability, he would not forget this point. Also, there were obviously spare rubber gloves hanging there; why didn’t master say anything?”
Aunt Liu and Lu Yi Yun were shocked when they heard it. What the heck was indestructible ability? Besides, was there anyone who wasn’t a mortal in this room?
Although Zhang Zian was thick-skinned, he still blushed a bit at this time. He was really anxious to plug those two idiots’ mouths with the rubber gloves. Lu Yi Yun lifted her head up slightly, and also saw the line of rubber gloves hanging on the bathroom wall. ”Mr. Manager, do I need to wear gloves?” she asked. She had unconsciously learned to address Zhang Zian as ”Mr. Manager”, just like how Snowy had in her live broadcasts.
”No need,” Zhang Zian replied straightforwardly, ”Cats are animals with a strong concept of domain, including house cats. They will use urine to divide domain. I also have a super fierce cat in my shop, her. This is her domain.” He pointed at Fina. ”All animals bully the weak and fear the strong. Upon entering someone’s domain, one must clamp one’s tail if one can’t defeat the other person. This is the general law of the animal world. No matter how rebellious a cat is that comes to my shop, it must weigh its ability to see whether it can defeat her.”
