Chapter 662: Chapter 328: Thunder Starts

[Just 2,000 more, will complete it soon.]

In the night, Starfire Foster Care Shop in Bright Radiance City.

Though the street lamps were already lit, the business at the Starfire Foster Care Shop remained bustling.

The Washing and Protection Service, maintained by the System Clerk, had switched to 24-hour operations. Customers lined up outside the shop, forming a long queue that seemed to fend off the chill of the night with its fervent atmosphere.

Inside the Foster Shop, the System Store Manager had just seen off a client and was about to call in the next one when suddenly, he sensed something and looked in a certain direction.

Next, Xu Ran’s figure appeared within the Foster Shop, accompanied by a flicker.

“Is business still good tonight?” Xu Ran glanced at the long line outside, gave a slight nod to the System Store Manager, and then summoned the four little ones waiting for him.

Under Fang Canghai’s special care, the resources Xu Ran exchanged were delivered almost as soon as he placed the order, allowing them not to wait long and to finish their business in Xieyun City within a day.

Before long, one human and four pets returned to the living area inside the shop. On Xu Ran’s empty bed, a tiny figure was curled up in the blankets, its head occasionally flickering with a flame that, upon contacting other things, did not ignite.

It was the firefly who hadn’t formed a contract yet and thus couldn’t accompany Xu Ran to Xieyun City.

Xu Ran and the four little ones exchanged glances, then a smile emerged on his face.

He tiptoed to the firefly’s side, leaned close to its fire-lit ear, and softly called out, “Firefly? Wake up, Firefly.”

“Purr~”

The firefly made a low purring sound; its round ears twitched, and the flames on them grew more vigorous.

It seemed to be sleeping sweetly, merely wriggled a bit under the blanket, and then fell asleep again.

Seeing the firefly’s love of sleep, Ziyun became playful and carefully stretched out a paw to press it on the firefly through the blanket.

Immediately after, a flash of Thunder flickered in the dark.

“Purr-hou?!”

The electric shock made the firefly jump, its flame-colored fur puffing up in an instant as if its body had swelled.

It woke up all at once, leaping up from the bed and looking around.

Upon seeing Xu Ran and the four little ones, the firefly blinked.

“Purr-hou?” (Am I dreaming?)

Hadn’t everyone gone to another city?

“Peep~” (We finished early and came back~)

Twelve flapped its wings and then a mischievous glint appeared in its sea-blue eyes.

“Peep?” (Why are you sleeping on the bed?)

The firefly was silent for a moment before it suddenly covered its face with its bear paws, with the flames on its ears growing fiercer.

How embarrassing!

It was afraid of the dark when sleeping alone, so it had covered itself up tightly and squeezed onto the bed.

It thought no one would find out, but to its surprise, everyone returned so quickly!

“It’s okay to sleep on the bed.” Xu Ran patted the firefly’s head with a smile, then paused for a moment before continuing, “From now on, whenever we go somewhere else, there’s no need to leave you behind.”
