Chapter 23: Brutal grand opening symphony Translated by Rikko of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

JinYu and the beasts woke up before the dawn even broke on the day after their house was constructed. To be precise, JinYu tossed and turned in bed nearly the entire night, only managing to sleep a few hours after midnight. Similarly, DaBai, having the most dignified appearance among all, and the other beasts didn't even shut their eyes the whole night due to their excitement for their new home; their eyes were kept wide open till the sun rose. Despite the lack of sleep, not even a hint of exhaustion could be seen on them. On the contrary, they were so much more energetic than the day before, with the exception of…

The beasts lifted their heads uniformly at JinYu once he went down the stairs. Moments later, a pair of rabbit's eyes caught JinYu's attention. "… Blue-eyed Rabbit, aren't your eyes non-infectious?" he looked expressionlessly at a certain rabbit, which was fiddling with its ears with its forelegs.

The rabbit straightened its ears up at once, anger evident on its face. [I'm a blue-eyed rabbit! Blue-eyed! My eyes are blue! How is it even possible for them to affect anyone?!]

Upon hearing the rabbit's thoughts, JinYu blurted out, "Oh right" and gave a light knock on his head; he forgot rabbits from Earth were the only ones with red eyes… except for those with their eyes dyed a different color, all rabbits here had blue eyes. If that was so… then what the h.e.l.l was up with those red-eyed beasts in front of him?! "…Don't tell me all of you got too excited and stayed up the whole night." JinYu face palmed in exasperation. The beasts answered him with a cacophony of noises as they nodded intensely, full of enthusiasm.

"f.u.c.k! I was actually planning to have you guys welcoming customers and advertising the store while looking spirited, bright-eyed, energetic and captivating! s.h.i.t! Now that the bunch of you are suffering from red eye illness, customers coming over to take a look at the very first day of opening will just a.s.sume my store is infested with diseases! How the f.u.c.k can I do business like this?! Why don't all of you just starve?!" The insanely lively beasts fuelled the infuriation in JinYu's heart. However, after his outburst of anger subsided, he found those fellows rather cute and so, he couldn't help but to hug himself and chuckle softly.

Initially, the beasts that hollered were trying to think up of ways to cool off Boss's anger. BaoZi and XiaoBai were just about to go over to JinYu and act cute at his feet, but before they even took a step, JinYu began laughing. Awoo? The lot of them tilted their heads in slight confusion.

"Forget it; forget it. I'll just tell them it's a special attraction to celebrate our grand opening. The redness… symbolises a prosperous business. Tsk, tsk. What a quick-witted and great boss I am."

Every single beast plunged their heads onto the ground in unison. A wolf pup with a birth defect, born a few months ago, was a breath away from death when BaoZi carried back in his mouth during his stroll around the rubbish disposal area last night. Currently, it had no clue as to why its easily gotten parents were prostrating. (BaoZi told the pup all beasts living there that was older than it were its parents, and that it would be able to get more meat in its meals if it had more parents.) Thus, the little puppy mimicked the actions of BaoZi, the father that brought it back. It stuck its forehead onto the floor a little clumsily before raising its tiny paws and placing them onto its eyes. However, when doing so, it forgot its hind legs were glued onto the ground. Losing its balance, the poor wolf pup tumbled down and rolled a few times on the floor.

"…By the way, does anyone here have milk?" As JinYu took a look at dazed and puzzled expression on the adorable puppy, he laughed softly and carried the little fellow up while shaking his head. Noticing it was so emaciated that it was almost reduced to bones, he frowned and turned his line of sight towards the group of beasts. "Come on and donate a bit. After all, this little pup is a B+ grade beast; it can help fight hooligans when it grows up or help in the kitchen."

Regardless of the exaggerated advantages JinYu listed out, every single male beast stepped back simultaneously, continuing to play dead. As for the few female beasts left… They regretfully expressed, neither have we given birth or are pregnant, so we don't have any breast milk. Boss, we can only let you settle this on your own. The problem plagued JinYu a little, but it didn't last long. Even though there wasn't any milk in his store, he could probably find them in restaurants. However, it was only five in the morning. Since a day here consisted of twenty six hours, shops would only begin opening and serving breakfast two hours later.

Just as JinYu was troubled by the issue, while the little wolf pup in his arms started yelping pitifully out of hunger, a gigantic burst of pressuring aura descended upon them. Alarmed, the A grade beasts, DaBai, BaoZi and XiaoXue, scurried hastily in front of JinYu to guard him, whereas the rest of the beasts collapsed onto the floor straight away to play dead. In truth, if not for the significant fury and murderous intent from the aura, the beasts would have thought that was from their Big Boss. However, the aura had f.u.c.king murderous intent in it now, who would even recognise that as their boss? That was obviously an enemy!

In contrast to the beast's fear, JinYu wasn't frightened by the sudden aura at all. Except for the black QiLin who gobble up his Chaos Energy as if it was a meal, no other person would give off this familiar sensation that made him feel he was being toyed with. And as JinYu expected, the one ambling towards them in the accompaniment of the pressuring aura was none other than the pitch-black QiLin with a pair of alluring golden eyes. Erm… There seemed to be a bit of a problem.

JinYu shot a glare at the black QiLin before rushing towards him; the pup in his arms had already fainted from fear. A barrage of questions spilled out from his mouth, "What's up with your appearance?! Aren't you in human form yesterday? Why did you revert back in just a day?! Did you start a fight with someone? Wait; actually, did you get hurt?!"

The series of questions thrown at the black QiLin the moment he entered the house got him stumped. Nonetheless, once he heard the last question, a ghost of a smile flashed across his golden eyes. He took two steps forward and lowered his head, pressing his horns lightly onto JinYu's forehead, "I'm fine. It's just that I used up all of the Chaos Energy."

"… it's not like I'm worried about you." JinYu rolled his eyes and turned away, leaving.

Being tolerant to his partner's shyness all along, Boss Qi QingLin wasn't even furious as he followed behind JinYu, "I've brought furniture over. Let them help you move the furniture in, ok?"
