Just as Su Ping was reading the quest, Fan Xiaoyu smashed the table and her face was contorted with anger. “If there’s nothing wrong with the food you sold, how come a pet with no appet.i.te cannot stop eating that food? You’d better come clean!”

“Come clean?”

Su Ping came back to his senses. His eyebrows twitched when he looked at the hand on the counter. A glint of coldness flashed past his dark eyes, but he contained his fury.

The two people were battle pet warriors and he was no match for them.

“The host doesn’t have to worry. There is nothing inside this store that can threaten your life. Anything and anyone that shows killing intent towards you will be erased, even when the Immemorial Savior arrives!”

Su Ping was stunned speechless. He didn’t know that the pet store had such abilities. Didn’t it mean that this store was his strongest shelter?

With the system’s promise, Su Ping felt less worried. Looking at the two indifferently, he said, “Do you have proof that there is inappropriate stuff mixed in my pet food?”

“Proof?”

Fan Yujing’s glare turned colder as he went on, “My words are the proof. Believe me. I will have the Pet Food a.s.sociation come here to investigate at once and your dirty little store will be shut down!”

Su Ping raised his eyebrows.

He wasn’t afraid of the Pet Food a.s.sociation. After all, all the food was natural and harvested by him; there was nothing wrong with it.

That being said, the investigation procedures of the Pet Food a.s.sociation would be complicated and it would affect his business. Besides, that would also harm the store’s reputation. That would put him at a disadvantage when it came to finis.h.i.+ng the system’s a.s.signments.

At the same time, Fan Xiaoyu noticed the many pet food bottles placed on the shelf behind the counter. When she saw the prices, she cried out in alarm, “Brother, look, this is a clip joint indeed.”

Su Yujing took a glance. He pulled a long face at once. “I didn’t know gangster shops were this bold in the outer town. This is a place where there are no rules nor laws.”

“Hmm!”

Su Ping snorted. “A high price invariably means that this is a clip joint? Don’t buy or come here and defame people just because you cannot afford it. The things I sell are attractive in price and quality. You get what you pay for. The price is more than reasonable!”

“I can’t afford it?”

Fan Xiaoyu laughed out of extreme anger.

Even if the price were set ten times the amount, it would be nothing but a casual buy for them. How could he accuse them of not being able to afford anything?

Besides, the pet food he had was ten times more expensive than regular pet food. Who gave the owner the courage to call it “attractive in price and quality”?

“You get what you pay for. Nice try. I’d like to know what that thing priced at 20,000 coins can do. Can it make someone live forever?” Fan Xiaoyu burst into laughter out of fury.

Su Ping answered calmly, “Only 20,000 coins and you want to eat it and live forever. You’re not looking for c.r.a.p to eat, are you?”

“You!”

Fan Xiaoyu opened her beautiful eyes and bellowed, “Say that again?”

“Am I wrong?” Su Ping shrugged.

“How dare you insult my sister.” Fan Yujing’s eyes glared in coldness. He made a swift move and reached his hand to grab Su Ping’s neck at lightning speed.

However, right at that moment, a sense of fatal danger rose in Fan Yujing’s mind.

Before Fan Yujing could think about it, he heard a cracking sound. It was as if his arm had been pushed down by something. The bones in his arm were fractured from the elbow down.

The dull pain reached him in an instant. Fan Yujing gasped in pain. He stepped back at once to keep a distance from Su Ping.

“Brother?”

Everything happened too fast. Still angry, Fan Xiaoyu only saw how her brother was about to teach the other guy a lesson, to then see him suddenly step back as if something had struck him.

Fan Xiaoyu turned pale with fright as she saw Fan Yujing with a broken arm. Her brother was not an average boy. He had graduated and joined the rangers as a powerful battle pet warrior. He was far superior than her. How could his arm be broken?
