Mrs. Cheng, who was sitting next to them, recovered from the shock, thought for a second and asked tenderly, “Xiao Xiao, do you have snakies? I like snakies!”
“Mom, you like snakes?” Cheng Xiao Xiao was fairly surprised, most women were afraid of snakes. She didn’t expect her mother to like them. Smiling, she said, “Mom, of course I have snakes. Why don’t I give you a silver jade snake for your pet?”
Soon as she was done saying that, a pure white, jade-like snake appeared around her wrists. Mrs. Cheng was ecstatic.
Cheng Xiao Xiao handed over the snakes to her mother with a smile, “Mom, here you go. It will obey you going forward.”
“Really? That’s great!” Mrs. Cheng accepted happily. This was the first time she had a bright smile on her face. One could tell she was truly happy and in love with the silver jade snake.
“Big sister, what about me?”
“Big sister, I want one too!”
The two younger ones wanted pets also. Cheng Xiao Xiao thought for a second and said, “Okay, Zheng Bin, Lan Lan. Tell me what you want. If I have them, I will let you have them!”
“Big sister, I want a small monkey!” Shouted little Lan Lan loudly.
Monkey?
That was another surprise. She thought all kids like bunnies, kittens, or puppies. Why an ugly-looking monkey? She couldn’t help but to ask, “Lan Lan, you really want a monkey?”
“That’s right, big sister. I like monkeys! They are smart, and they will play with me. So I want a monkey!”
Looking at her sister’s limpid eyes, and the happy and enchanted look, Cheng Xiao Xiao had no choice but to say yes.
The dimension would need to be at level 38 for her to be able to release an in-app monkey. Luckily Yuteng got three last time they were up in the mountain. Cheng Xiao Xiao released the smallest one of the three.
“Hoo hoo hoo….”
The little monkey followed order and leaped obediently into little Lan Lan’s arms and squeaked. It was very unfortunate that little Lan Lan couldn’t understand at word it said.
Yet that didn’t stop little Lan Lan from loving it. With the golden monkey in her arms, little Lan Lan squealed in joy.
Now that Cheng Lan Lan’s pet was settled, Cheng Xiao Xiao turned and asked her younger brother, “Zheng Bin, have you figured out what kind of a pet you want yet?”
“Big sister, I can’t think of anything right away. Lions and tigers are too big. I would like something smaller, but I’m not sure what will be a good fit!” Cheng Zheng Bin scratched his head and smiled with slight embarrassment.
“That’s easy if you want something small. Why don’t I give you a white tiger king? It’s not that big and will accompany you well!” suggested Cheng Xiao Xiao, and a white tiger king, size of the wolf king, appeared in a flash.
Cheng Zheng Bin was instantly happy when he saw his “dinky” tiger king. He nodded at his sister, “Big sister, thank you so much. I love it!”
“I am glad you like it. It will be your pet from now no!” said Cheng Xiao Xiao with a smile. She then turned to her father who had yet to say anything, “Dad, have you decided what you’d like as a pet?”
“Xiao Xiao, don’t tell me lions are all you have left!” answered Cheng Biyuan with a question.
“Of course not, dad. A lion wouldn’t be a bad choice. Otherwise, a king kong bear is not bad either. I also have a mammoth python1. Which do you like better?”
“Lion, king kong bear, or mammoth python?” Cheng Biyuan thought for a second and said, “Let’s stick with the lion, I will be able to ride on it!”
Cheng Xiao Xiao chuckled and said, “If your criteria is to ride on your pet, the mammoth python can evolve into dragon. AND it can already fly.”
