Super Island Tycoon

Chapter 1147: Chapter 1146: Winning Over

Just like the group that just left, at first glance, these people don’t seem like reputable individuals. The chubby man leading them had a friendly expression. He smiled and said to the shop owner, ”The bird in your shop is still here, right? I want to buy it. The price is negotiable.”

The pet shop owner had no choice but to repeat the words to the sullen-faced man.

”Oh, then just tell me where that person lives, and it won’t concern you anymore.” His tone was flat, but the threat in his words was unmistakable.

The pet shop owner looked at the chubby man in front of him. He deeply regretted it now. Why couldn’t he just live a stable life? Why did he get the crazy idea of using that bird as a model?

”Old man, you don’t need to hesitate. The sooner you tell me, the sooner we’ll leave, and you can happily continue your business.” The chubby man urged.

The shop owner looked at his employee from far away and sighed. He knew that if he didn’t reveal the whereabouts of that beautiful woman, he wouldn’t find peace.

What a sin, the shop owner had no choice but to give the chubby man the address.

”That’s more like it!” The chubby man nodded in satisfaction and left the pet shop with his men.

The shop owner sat there dazed, spacing out for a while before he instructed the employee, ”Close the shop. I’m really not in the mood to do business today.”

Just as the employee was about to close the door and hadn’t even left, a bald man squeezed in with a few others. ”Why are you closing in broad daylight? Is there a funeral you need to rush back to?”

The pet shop owner helplessly closed his eyes.

The pet shop owner used the Flaming Firebird as a model, hoping to attract more customers with its beauty.

In the beginning, he was glad about his foresight, getting his little pet shop on TV, which brought it some fame.

Who would have thought, instead of attracting real customers, it drew in quite a few troublemakers.

Starting with that high-status Lord Governor, he handled five groups in total, each coming to his shop for one purpose: to buy that beautiful bird.

And when they found out the bird wasn’t in his shop, their behavior was almost identical—they wanted to know the bird owner’s address.

The pet shop owner knew he shouldn’t give in, but he really couldn’t afford to offend these people, so he had to comply with their demands.

Ba Lvluo sat up on her bed, feeling quite refreshed by the natural surroundings.

Ranran had tried to wake her up early, but she was someone who liked to sleep in, wouldn’t let anyone change her mind, so she remained in bed.

After all, there’s nothing to do these days, so what’s the point of getting up early?

In the end, Yanran couldn’t win against her; after calling a few times, she gave up.

That’s how Ba Lv managed to take a lovely nap.

Ba Lv stretched and exhaled a long breath, ”Hai, Bai.”

The two wolf cubs didn’t appear.

”Alice!” Ba Lv called out again.

The Flaming Firebird also didn’t show up.

Ba Lv realized that they must have been taken out for a stroll by the teacher and Yanran.

Taking the Flaming Firebird out wasn’t an issue, but those two wolf cubs couldn’t stay indoors; they needed to go for a walk every day and relieve themselves along the way.

Ruoan joked that the two wolf cubs knew how to enjoy life, even turning bathroom breaks into an opportunity to appreciate the scenery.

All these tasks were taken care of by Yanran, from feeding to bathing.

Ba Lv laughed. Even though Yanran always pretended to be tough on their wolf cubs, she truly cared for them.

In terms of what Yanran did for the wolf cubs, it was even more than Ba Lv did. To outsiders, it would seem like the wolf cubs were actually Yanran’s pets.

Of course, there were times when Yanran would lose her temper. When that happened, Ba Lv knew never to contradict her; just go along with whatever she said. In just a short time, Yanran would calm down, and at most, that’s how the matter would be settled.

Moreover, Ba discovered one of Yanran’s vulnerabilities.

It’s just that this little girl—Ba couldn’t remember the name of her tribe, it was long and complicated—always had a strong love for exquisite things.

However, due to her identity, or perhaps her nature, she was indifferent to heavy jewelry or art, only admiring them, but when it came to food or delicate trinkets, especially food, she had an extraordinary passion!

An epicurean indeed.

So whenever they visited a place, Ba Lv would always ask Ruoan where the delicious food was, and if it was exquisitely made, even better. Whenever Ba Lvluo surprised her with those delicacies, Yanran would always show surprise, while blaming Ba Lv for spending money recklessly and sighing about gaining weight from eating so much, she would still take the delicacies anyway.

Ba Lv loved watching Yanran indulge in enjoying the food.

Just like last night, after they returned from outside, Ba Lvluo went out again to purchase a box of muffins.

After receiving the muffins, Yanran sat down beside the table in the room. She reached out her slender fingers, picked up a muffin, examined it closely, and only then took a small bite with her pearly white teeth. She closed her eyes, slowly chewing and savoring it, until she finished the muffin. She let out a satisfied sigh, carefully saved the rest for later.

Ba Lv knew this was Yanran’s habit; ever since she left that desolate place on the Nameless Planet, she developed a habit of storing food. It seemed like during that time, Yanran must have endured a lot of hunger.

Thinking about this, Ba Lv couldn’t help but sigh. Who would have thought such a sunny and radiant girl would have such a hard past?

”Who is it?” Ba Lvluo trudged to the door in her slippers.

Standing outside was the hotel manager.

”Mr. Manager, what can I do for you?” Ba Lv asked with a smile. She had a good impression of the hotel manager, though if he weren’t so talkative, it would be better. But that was probably because of his profession. After all, he had to greet guests, not talking wasn’t an option.

”Good morning, beautiful lady,” the manager began. ”If you have time, could you please come to the lobby? A distinguished guest is waiting for you there.”

”A distinguished guest? Waiting for me?” Ba Lv was genuinely surprised to hear that she had a distinguished acquaintance.

Perhaps the manager had exaggerated in order to show respect to guests.

”Alright, I’ll be right down.”

The hotel manager bowed slightly and went down first.

Ba Lv looked at herself in the mirror. Although she hadn’t freshened up yet, the girl in the reflection exuded a unique charm; she was quite beautiful.

Ba Lv smiled with satisfaction, quickly gathered her hair, wiped her face casually with a towel, and went downstairs.

In the hotel lobby, the honorable Lord Governor was waiting impatiently.

He had never waited for anyone before, it was always others waiting for him.
