Chapter 56: Chapter 56 Flame Dog: How will I live after this!

The Flame Dog’s fangs are enormous, as thick as half an adult man’s arm, so a regular toothbrush clearly wouldn’t suffice for cleaning them.

Moreover, she checked the school supermarket, and the toilet brushes in this world are super crazily expensive!

One costs 8 bucks!

So, she had no choice but to carve a piece of wood from the hill behind and make one herself~

"Anyway, since it’s for your use, it’s much more cost-effective to produce and consume by oneself."

Qian Qi took advantage of an unguarded moment and plucked a tuft of fur from the Flame Dog, chuckling, "Right?"

"Awwooo?"

The Flame Dog suddenly felt a patch of chill on its body, turned around and saw a bald spot on its skin, looking with terror at Qian Qi, who had reached out once more with her mischievous hand.

Flame Dog: !!!

Are you trying to kill me?! Why pull my fur?! How can I mix in the dog circle looking so ugly from now on!!!

Soon, the room was in chaos, with a person and a dog both flailing wildly, one dancing frantically on four paws trying to dodge the mischievous hand, and the other grinning ferociously while madly plucking fur, with screams and sounds of excitement echoing on site, creating utter confusion.

The flying dog fur drifted onto Liu Wangda’s shocked face at the door, startling him into a sneeze.

Wow, damn, this kid is way too fierce!

Where on earth did Uncle Li find this God-like person?

But...

Liu Wangda cautiously opened his Light Brain and sent Uncle Li a video of Qian Qi plucking fur.

{Ever Prosperous Mr. Liu}: Uncle Li, this shouldn’t deduct my pay, right?

{Old Li Loves Strolling with Beasts}: Hahahahahahaha—

Liu Wangda: ???

What does hahahaha mean? Will it deduct the pay or not?!

Qian Qi fiddled around for nearly an hour before finally creating a fur toothbrush.

"Hmm, really pretty~" Qian Qi adored this red fur toothbrush and was about to praise the Flame Dog when she noticed its body was bald in patches. Feeling guilty, she swallowed back her words of praise.

"Ahem, all this was in consideration for your dental health, try to understand it~"

The Flame Dog, full of sorrow and anger, spat scornfully, clearly a bad habit learned from some human.

Qian Qi wasn’t annoyed. She poured cleaning agent onto the toothbrush, stepped on the Flame Dog’s lower jaw, and with the vigor of a worker sawing wood, began brushing its yellowed fangs enthusiastically.

After 10 minutes, Qian Qi extended her middle finger, flicked one of Flame Dog’s shiny white fangs, and said satisfied, "Tsk~ Really clean~"

The Flame Dog, almost losing a tooth from Qian Qi’s flick: "..."

"Our dear Ah Tu here can now proudly show off its pearly white teeth when going out~" Qian Qi lifted Flame Dog’s big face, rubbed it hard a few times, and said, "Alright, I should continue tidying up the room now~"

Leaving Room No.1, Qian Qi turned to Room No.24 across the way.

Without waiting for the Flame Dog in Room No.24 to react, she straightened her palm and landed a big slap on the other’s face.

Twenty-four Flame Dog: ???

Why hit me? I wasn’t planning to attack you!

The Flame Dog in Room No.24 shrank pitifully into the corner, its orange eyes fixed on Qian Qi focused on cleaning up feces, not really wanting to eat her.

Because when she was fighting with the Flame Dog in Room No.1, she kicked over the bucket, leaving the ground stained with the other’s feces, inadvertently getting a lot of feces water on her.

And although they resemble dogs, they are still different from pooping dogs.

Food stained with feces water, especially food stained with feces from the same species, they can’t chew it down...

Does Qian Qi know? Of course, Qian Qi knows.

But it doesn’t prevent her from slapping them.

Qian Qi practices "stick + candy" education; when children are obedient it’s candy, when not, it’s the stick, with gentleness and sternness going hand in hand, to successfully educate children.

After all, she grew up being educated like this by the orphanage’s mother.

See how upright and outstanding she is now!

She’s a living example!

Proudly with hands on hips.jpg.

After cleaning the room, Qian Qi raised the toothbrush, prepared to brush the Flame Dog’s fangs in Room No.24, to maintain dental health.

But as soon as the bristles of the toothbrush touched the opposite fangs, the Flame Dog in Room No.1 sprang up, chewed fiercely at the vertical-barred door with sharp teeth, and unleashed a ferocious growl towards Qian Qi!

You can’t use my fur to brush another dog’s teeth!

That’s my fur! That’s my toothbrush!

I won’t allow it—!

Qian Qi glanced at the frantic Flame Dog, and mercilessly withdrew her gaze.

She thought the Flame Dog was angry, infuriated at her unfairness, why only pluck its fur and not other dogs.

But she had no choice.

She only made this one brush, so other dogs had to be temporarily let off the hook.

"Rest assured, I’m very fair. Once this brush wears out, it’ll naturally be their turn. But how often should toothbrushes be replaced? Humans seem to be every three months, then for Magic Beasts, maybe a week..."

Qian Qi muttered to herself quietly, while the Flame Dog at her feet shivered involuntarily.

Strange, why did it suddenly have a bad feeling?

After finishing her shift, Qian Qi met Uncle Li at the door, who told her with a cheerful smile that he had a matter to discuss.

"Hey Little Qian, tomorrow at three in the afternoon, the freshmen of the Beast Taming Department have a practical Beast Taming class at Beast Square, trying to train Flame Dogs. I’m short on hands, would you like to help out?"

Qian Qi’s eyes lit up, quickly nodded in agreement, she had never seen how a Beast Master trains Flame Dogs before, given such a good opportunity, she wouldn’t miss it.

Surely tomorrow, she’ll learn a lot about how to develop a deep bond with Flame Dogs!

Thinking about this, Qian Qi couldn’t contain her excitement.

...

After leaving the Magic Beast Storage Room, Qian Qi headed to the back mountain plantation, receiving a collection message halfway.

Soon, a call from Chen Tong followed.

"Qian Qi—Dongfang Qianqi is you, right! Hurry up and delete that topic!"

The moment the call connected, Chen Tong’s angry voice nearly pierced Qian Qi’s eardrum, she could almost imagine Chen Tong’s jester-like manner as he jumped around furiously.

Casually picking her ear, she replied nonchalantly, "What are you talking about, what Dongfang Qianqi did, what does that have to do with Qian Qi?"

Chen Tong was so enraged he almost gnashed his molars into pieces, he merely took leave to handle some errands back home, unexpectedly coming back to find the campus forum had a topic "#Eye-Searing! A famous senior from Magic Beast Department owes Money Lord Qian Qi a colossal 5 million, and to repay, he’s doing this?#" Which surpassed the prior Blood Stopping Magic Potion topic, reigning on the hot list number one.

Now, almost the whole school believes he’s really "diving into the sea"!

The key thing was someone actually came to ask him how much for a night!

"I transferred fifty grand to your account, now immediately delete the topic!" Finished speaking, too furious to talk further, Chen Tong hit the phone "bang" as he hung up.

"Tsk, what’s the rush, my clothing expenses haven’t been reimbursed yet." Qian Qi shook her head helplessly, sighing, "Haven’t seen in a few days, Senior Brother Chen’s temper has become increasingly volatile..."

Clearly in the past, he’d softly and gently whisper close to her ear to just wait and see~

Next time there’s a chance, she’ll kindly sell him a few packets of chrysanthemum tea for calming and reducing fire~

Humming a cheerful tune, Qian Qi went to tend to her beloved magic plant babies at the back mountain.
