Cultivation Pet Shop

The beast carriage headed through the main street of Water Pearl City, heading off towards the Zhu Manor that was right at the tip of the fountain.

There were many strange sights to see in Water Pearl City and Song Shu was completely glued to the window.

By the streets of Water Pearl City, there were canals that ran along them which were all connected to each other. When Lin Fan saw this, he couldn\'t help thinking of the famous canals that he had once seen in Venice on earth.

But different from Venice, these canals weren\'t filled with gondolas, rather they were filled with strange vehicles unique to this world.

This was a world where beasts were tamed as pets, so these beasts were also used in creative manors. For Water Pearl City, there were fish type beasts that were tamed and being used as transportation. It was a large fish that was slightly bigger than a human with a seat attached to its back that could fit one or two people.

Then there were larger fishes that were around the size of the beast carriage that they were sitting in with larger seats on their back which could fit several people.

These small and medium sized fishes swam on the sides of the canals and in the center, there were the largest fishes, which were actually just whales.

These whales were as large as the buildings that were on the road, but the seats on their backs were also just as large and could carry several dozen people. But of course, most of these whales weren\'t private use and they had a banner on the side of them showing that they were buses.

The speed of these fishes and whales were a bit slower than that of the beast carriage they were in, but it wasn\'t that much slower which meant it was quite a good form of transport. In comparison, there were actually far fewer carriages on the road compared to fishes in the canal.

Of course, the Zhu Family\'s beast carriage was different since this was a special carriage being pulled by Gold Realm beasts.

They slowly made their way through the main street before coming to the center fountain where they had to get out of the beast carriage.

The only way up the fountain was canals, so they had to get out and change to a large whale.

Song Shu was very excited since she had been wanting to ride one of these whales ever since she saw them on the street.

Song Shu came up to the whale and patted it on its head which the whale enjoyed quite a bit.

When Zhu Ba Jie saw this, he revealed a smile before calling to the person who took care of the whale. That person immediately followed his order and brought out a bucket of fish for Song Shu to feed the whale with.

When Song Shu threw a fish into the mouth of the whale, it was so happy that it blew out a jet of water from the hole on its back, splashing everything around it which included Song Shu.

She laughed as she was being splashed by the whale before throwing another fish into its mouth.

Everyone on the side seeing this scene couldn\'t stop their hearts from melting from how cute it was.

Once that was over, they all got on the back of the whale and disproportionate to its size, it immediately shot off along the canal and climbed up the fountain.

This canal was actually quite steep, so it threw them all back against the backrest of the seats. There were some people who were almost thrown off, namely Song Shu who didn\'t have a high cultivation, but it was a good thing that they were advised to strap in before sitting down, so they weren\'t thrown off.

Eventually the whale came to the very tip of the fountain and arrived in front of a giant manor.

Everyone got off the manor and walked through the gates of that manor. As they walked through the front garden, the topiaries in the front were in quite the surprising design. No matter where they looked, all the decorations were made in the shape of pigs. Whether it was the topiaries, the basin, the fountain, or even the gazebo, everything was designed with a pig motif.

Finally they walked into the main hall and once again, they were hit with the same pig motif. Everything was designed with pigs in mind and it really was strange.

But they were guests here, so Lin Fan\'s group really couldn\'t say anything.

Since it had been the afternoon when they arrived, it was now close to dinner with how long it took them to come to the manor. Zhu Ba Jie led them all to the dining room where there had been a luxurious banquet set up waiting for them.

Everyone took their seats and it didn\'t take long before they were happily enjoying the feast that was placed in front of them.

During this feast, Zhu Ba Jie introduced his family and true to their names, all of them had features that made them look like pigs. Even the granddaughters that winked their eyes at Lin Fan all had pig like features which really caused chills to run down Lin Fan\'s back.

But there was one strange thing that had caught Lin Fan\'s attention during these introductions.

Zhu Ba Jie had a total of four sons and every son had many different children, but each and every one of them had the same pig like features, that was except for a certain one who had a mask on the entire time.

When that person was introduced, Lin Fan couldn\'t help asking, "Elder Zhu, is there something wrong with this Zhu Tie? Why is he wearing a mask during dinner?"

Zhu Ba Jie revealed an awkward look at this and he turned to Zhu Tie to allow him to explain.

Zhu Tie gave a sigh before saying, "Young master Lin, the reason why I\'m wearing this mask is that my appearance is disfigured and I don\'t want to ruin the harmonious mood of this feast. I normally try to stay away from others since my face is disfigured, but I really couldn\'t help coming to meet young master Lin after hearing all about you. I am truly sorry for ruining everyone\'s good time."

Lin Fan couldn\'t help slightly knitting his brows when he heard this, but he said, "Actually if you don\'t mind, Angela here is quite good at using healing techniques. If you could show us what\'s wrong with your face, we might be able to help you fix it.\'

Since they were guests here, Lin Fan didn\'t mind helping them a bit, especially with how much respect the Zhu Family had shown them.

Zhu Tie\'s eyes through the mask lit up when he heard this, "Really?"

He had been living with this ugly appearance since he had been born and he just couldn\'t help feeling ashamed whenever he looked in the mirror.

After getting confirmation from Lin Fan, Zhu Tie slowly took off his mask and what was revealed was completely shocking.

If Lin Fan had to describe it with one word, it would be "angel".

Like the pictures of angels that he had seen on earth, this Zhu Tie was a perfect representation of what artists on earth thought angels looked like.

Zhu Tie had flowing long blond hair and long lashes with piercing blue eyes. His skin was as white as milk and his teeth glittered against the light. All his facial features were perfect, like they had been chiseled out of marble.

But for some reason this Zhu Tie was calling himself ugly, it really was confusing for Lin Fan.

Song Shu on the side even couldn\'t stop herself when she saw Zhu Tie\'s face as she said under her breath, "Wow!"

She had honestly never seen such a pretty person before.

But when Zhu Tie saw the shock on their faces, he misunderstood why they were shocked.

Zhu Tie put his hands to his face and he said, "I\'m very sorry you had to see my ugly face. I know that I am not as handsome as my father, my grandfather, or all my other pretty family members. I should have just stayed in my room instead of coming out here to ruin everything!"

When he heard this, Lin Fan\'s face couldn\'t help twitching.

In the end, it was the strange sense of taste that the Zhu Family had!

They felt that things that looked like pigs were beautiful, so that\'s why they felt that those that looked like pigs like the rest of the family were beautiful and anyone who didn\'t look like that were considered ugly…

But of course that completely went against common sense!

Lin Fan hesitated a bit before saying, "Actually, I don\'t think you\'re that ugly. Rather you\'re one of the more handsome people that I\'ve seen."

Zhu Tie of course didn\'t believe this as he said, "Owner Lin, you don\'t have to be polite. I know what I am."

Lin Fan\'s face couldn\'t help twitching again, but thinking about it, if he had this eye candy in his store, he would definitely bring in plenty of customers.

At this, he turned to Zhu Ba Jie and said, "Elder Zhu, if it is possible, could I have Zhu Tie work in my store?"

Zhu Ba Jie was surprised by this, but he also said, "Sure, that\'s not a problem."

Actually, Zhu Ba Jie didn\'t like seeing his grandson like this. While he did think that Zhu Ba Jie was a bit ugly, it still hurt his heart to see his grandson like this, so he had racked his brain to think of ways to help his grandson regain his confidence. Perhaps Lin Fan might be able to work a miracle and make this happen.

Zhu Tie had a shocked look on his face as he quickly said, "But grandfather, if I go out with this appearance, I will definitely scare everyone. I can\'t do this."

Zhu Ba Jie looked at him with a worried look as he said, "Xiao Tie, you can\'t just hide in the manor your entire life. Eventually you will have to go out and I trust Owner Lin to take good care of you. If you really can\'t do it, you can always go out with your mask on."

But Lin Fan cut in at this, "Actually I want him to come work in my store without his mask on. His face is actually the main reason I want to hire him."

Both Zhu Ba Jie and Zhu Tie were shocked when they heard this.
