Chapter 135: Beast Care (1/2)

”What does a monster eat exactly? Meat may be?” he thought. ”Urghh… I wish master had gone more in-depth when she taught me about the beast companions,” he started whining a little.

He decided to go to the market outside and buy something for Pearl later on. For now, he would continue with the alchemy.

He proceeded to make a few pills before taking a break to get some food and returned back to make some more pills. He continued until it was 6 pm.

”I should stop now, and go do the other things,” he thought as he left the alchemy room. He took the wooden token from the door and returned it back to the elder outside.

The elder looked at the time and calculated the price based on the amount of time he had spent in the room and the discount off of his badge number.

”168… that is 46% discount off of 2 spirit stones for each hour. Rounded off, you have to pay 8 spirit stones for the entire day.” The elder said.

Alex took out 8 spirit stones from his storage bag and paid for it. The sky was starting to darken and since nobody was fighting today, most of the disciples had returned back from the crater.

Alex slowly made his way back to the other side of the mountain. However, instead of going back to his home, he left for the market in front of the sect.

After walking past the gate, he looked around to see if there were any restaurants there. Instead, he found something better. Towards the outer area of the market, he saw a small shop called 'Beasts Care'.

”Is that like a Veterinary?” he wondered and walked towards the shop. The shop was very small compared to the other shops in the market.

As he entered, he saw a very old man sitting in a chair, petting a little bunny on his lap. As soon as he realized someone had entered, he looked to the side and asked, ”What do you want, boy?”

Alex was surprised when he saw the man be grumpy without even him doing anything. The man was wearing an elder's robes, so he decided to not say anything regarding his grumpy personality. Instead, he put on a friendly smile and asked,

”Hello elder, I got a new beast companion and it seems to be hungry, can you tell me if there is something I can buy here to feed it?” he asked.

The elder didn't look towards Alex at all and went back to petting the rabbit on his lap as he asked, ”What beast?” he asked.

”It's a little kitten of a White Cat monster,” Alex replied.

”Hmm… ” the man turned towards Alex as he looked at him with a confused look. ”What beast did you say?” he asked once more.

”A White Cat monster's kitten,” he replied.

”A White… Cat? Show me,” the elder said as he got curious.
