  With someone at the door, Lu Yiyun, who was closest to the door, replied, “Yes.”


  There were two young girls standing outside the door. They looked like college students or college graduates. One was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, a short skirt, and black over-the-knee socks. The other was wearing a sleeveless shirt and three-quarter jeans. On their calves, both of them had the same bracelet. They also had a few of the same small accessories. They were likely very good friends who went shopping together on weekends.

  They stood at the door and hesitated, whispering something to each other. They didn’t dare enter.

  There were no monsters in the store, so why didn’t they enter?

  In fact, this situation was very common. They probably wanted to raise a pet but not casually adopt one. They’d seen on the Internet that some pet shops were fake and mere fronts for scams. Thus, they did not know what to expect and hesitated. They might be more comfortable raising a normal stray instead.

  Such customers often came by. Thus, the staff and Zhang Zian had no unique reaction. They did not stare at them and instead let them go about freely. If they were too enthusiastic, they would feel pressured. They may turn around and leave.

  Since they’d found the place, it meant that they were willing to enter the store. They had probably had the idea that since they were there, they might as well walk around and take a look.

  “Master, turn your head. Your face is dark. Stand there and people will think you are a robber. Don’t scare people,” Wang Qian said.

  If he weren’t worried that he would scare the two girls away, Zhang Zian would have already hit him. He had only been away for a short while. Now even the staff was willing to bully him?

  However, the two sisters did not have the guts to enter. They hesitated for a long time at the door of the store and did not go inside. From their expressions it seemed they had decided not to come in—this was rare, but it was also normal.

  The elfins had already returned to their usual places. Famous was playing by the lounge chair. Old Time Tea was watching TV in the corner of the shop. Fina and Snowy Lionet occupied the upper and lower floors of the cat tree, respectively. Richard was everywhere. Galaxy had gone to chase the other Abyssinian cats. Sihwa and Pi were on the second floor, while Vladimir ran outside.

  At this moment, Fina, who was already falling asleep, suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the two girls. However, she could not quite see them clearly, as her vision was somewhat blocked.

  Thus, she quietly jumped from the cat climbing frame to the ground, walked to the door, and greeted the sunshine outside the store. She squinted and looked carefully. The legs and feet of the two girls……were indeed legs and shoes.

  Fina had always been an open book. When in a good mood, she had a proud look. When in a bad mood, she could not be bothered with anyone, not even for a blink.

  The staff had long been accustomed to her cold attitude. Therefore, for her to suddenly show an unusual interest in the two strangers stunned everyone.

  Snowy Lionet detected this first and quickly followed. Its little short legs caused it to stumble and almost fall.

  “Hey! Your Majesty, what are you looking at?”


  Snowy Lionet looked at Fina and found that Fina was staring intently at the legs and shoes of the two girls. It ran to block Fina’s line of sight and used all its strength to lift up its paw.

  “Hey! Your Majesty, I didn’t know you loved legs so much. What do you think of mine?” It smiled charmingly, swaying its hind legs of white hair, deliberately making a sultry……cat posture.

  Fina had already seen it clearly. The legs and the size of the two girls outside the door did not exactly match the legs and shoe size of the mysterious woman she had seen in the golden pyramid. She then lost interest.

  When Snowy had entered the store just now, she’d blinked and looked at her casually. However, she did not recognize her voice and did not know that it was her.

  The only value of the two girls outside the door to Fina was their legs and shoes. If they were not who she was looking for, then they were useless. Thus, she went back to the resting spot and continued her snooze.

  “Hey, Your Majesty, do you like black silk? I—I am just that silky black you like!” Snowy Lionet cried in anger and screamed. “Where is the dyeing tank? I will jump in to blacken my fur, and I will be a black lion from now on!”


  It had nowhere to vent its annoyance, and it glanced at Zhang Zian and shouted, “Hey! Stinky man who is so dark! You made Fina like black silk!”


  Zhang Zian raised his hands, expressing his innocence. He had never had a special preference for black silk and would not despise white silk either. However, he was a mature adult now and could choose whatever he wanted, unlike young students!

  Wang Qian and Li Kun felt that Zhang Zian had changed after having gone to Egypt. Not only had his own temperament changed—even Fina seemed to have undergone some changes. However, why was Snowy Lionet going crazy too?

  Fina and Snowy Lionet’s actions attracted the attention of the two girls outside the door.

  In the eyes of ordinary people, one cat was soft, one had short hair, one had long hair, one was cold and aloof, and one was a cat that they could not wait to hug. Although the girls could not differentiate their species purely from looks, these were high-grade cats.

  So they delayed their plan of finding a homeowner to buy a cat and mindlessly walked back into the shop.

  “Welcome,” Lu Yiyun said. “If you want to see cats and dogs, please go inside. If you want to see aquarium pets, please go next door. Pet supplies are on the shelves.”


  “Oh…… We want to casually take a look.” The two girls were still staring at Fina and Snowy Lionet. They merely paid lip service to Lu Yiyun.

  “Please feel free.” Lu Yiyun adjusted her painting.

  The staff knew that at least seven or eight out of 10 customers who entered a store would say they were “just looking.” This meant that they did not want to be pressured into buying and didn’t want the employees to be too enthusiastic.

  Looking through the glass from outside the store and watching it in the store, felt completely different.

  Although the two girls were very fond of Fina and Snowy Lionet, the various kittens in the store and the various puppies in the showcase were also dazzling. They didn’t quite know where to look.

  They had initially been hesitant about entering the store, but after entering the store, they felt that their choice was correct. Had they gone to a breeder, they would’ve only had at most two or three choices. Here, they had plenty to choose from.

  For the girls, it was always a good thing to have options. Even if it was difficult to choose, that was also a difficulty born from a good thing.
