Pet King - Chapter 784

Chapter 784
Zhang Zian had only heard Sihwa's regular song once in Germany . It was not her low-frequency songs . He could not hear them, anyway, as they were beyond the audible range of human ears .


Sihwa's songs were not in any language from around the world . Even Richard, who claimed to know a million human and bird languages, could not understand them . But her voice was pure and serene . No contaminating sound could be found in it . 　　
Clearly, Richard had to claim responsibility . 　　
He rushed out of the bathroom to get Richard, yet the b*tchy bird had a premonition and flew away . 　　
Fine . It was probably nothing . Just consider them as beats . 　　
"When will you buy a phone for me?" Sihwa blinked her eyes and asked expectantly . "This hour, or the next hour?"　　
Zhang Zian said, "Your time range is too narrow… Should be within today . Tomorrow at the latest . "　　
"Oh . I have to wait that long?" she whimpered, then said, as if she remembered something, "Right, I also want a pretty phone case!" She pointed outside the small window . "I see a lot of girls with pretty phone cases!"　　
"Okay . No problem . "　　
Zhang Zian agreed . After walking out of the bathroom with his phone, he could still hear Sihwa yelling excitedly, "Cellphone! Cellphone! I'm finally getting a phone! Now I can surely make that fat orange cat jealous!"　　
"Pi, do you have time now? I need to use the computer . " He came to the desk . 　　
"Eek!"　　
Pi nodded, saved the Word file, jumped off the chair, then started walking around the room to exercise . 　　
Zhang Zian played the recorded file saved in his phone on the loudspeaker . Then he opened up the online shopping website to pick a phone for Sihwa . Luckily, it was March seventh and eighth, the ladies' festival . Most online shopping websites were doing promotions . One could imagine that many gentlemen's wallets were about to lose weight . 　　
At first, he wanted to get the cheapest phone, as Sihwa had never used a phone before and could not tell the difference, but then he realized he could not . She would be using the phone in the bathtub, so it could fall into the water easily––then he would need to buy a new one . He might as well start off with a good, waterproof phone . 　　


None of the waterproof phones were cheap, even with the promotion . He closed his eyes, made the order, and checked out . He also bought a girlish case with it . 　　

After he finished, he left the computer to Pi and left his bedroom with the underwater loudspeaker . 　　
The door of his parents' bedroom was slightly open . It was dark inside . He pushed the door and entered . The thick curtain was drawn in his parents' room . The only light source was the lamps for the aquarium tanks . It was very dark inside . 　　
Zhang Zian walked in after his eyes were used to the darkness . The high-end aquarium fans normally prepared a separate room for their aquatic creatures . Basements without windows were the best . Artificial lighting was used to completely replace natural light, as the artificial lights nowadays could mimic natural light almost perfectly . The overlap of natural and artificial light was not good . 　　
There was no basement in the Amazing Fate Pet Shop, nor in the shoe store next door . But his parents' bedroom was empty and could be made useful . 　　
"Meow . " In the dark room, Galaxy's silver-grey eyes were exceptionally bright . It sat on the blanket and put its face close to the tank . It was fixated on the dark and mysterious marine world inside . After hearing Zhang Zian open the door, it turned its head, lifted a front paw, and said happily, "Meow . Good morning, Zian!" It hadn't wanted to wake the other sleeping elfins earlier . Now it gave a real greeting . 　　
"Good morning, Galaxy . You are watching the corals again . " Zhang Zian was not surprised, as Galaxy had been touring the bedroom every morning to look at the corals before heading downstairs to play hide-and-seek . 　　


"Meow . The corals are so pretty . " Galaxy nodded and added, "So are the fish!"　　
The "fish" it referred to were not really fish but the sea angels . 　　
Inside the room, a few tanks stood against the walls, separated by books, shelves, and other objects, so that the lights would not interfere with the tanks . Apart from the tanks for the corals, there was a tank dedicated to sea angels . To keep the temperature low, there was another tank outside that tank with ice packs in between . 　　
The two fully grown sea angels floated in the cold water, fluttered their transparent wings, and tried to get close to each other . The antennas on their heads had felt the existence of one another . In their translucent chest cavities, their heart-shaped organs were growing brighter and redder, like burning flames of love . 　　
The night before, after preparing the saltwater, installing the equipment, and making sure everything was working properly, Zhang Zian finally released them from the pet columns in the game . He could not afford to lose them in the early stages of his project . Luckily, after adapting overnight, they seemed to have accepted their new environment and had started thinking about reproduction after their basic needs were met . It was exactly what Zhang Zian had hoped for .
After repeated attempts, they finally got past the initial shyness, stretched out their suction cups, and attached to each other with them . Then they started dancing in the water . Very few mating processes in the animal kingdom were as romantic and beautiful as theirs . It was a waltz that lasted for hours . 　　
Zhang Zian closed the door and held his breath, afraid of bothering them with any noise . But in fact, their mating process was not that vulnerable . 　　
No matter how elegant the dance might have looked, it got boring after you stared at it for too long . He turned his eyes and watched the tank next to it . 　　
This tank was also cooled with ice packs and held a few helicid pteropods . The Chinese name of helicid pteropod was the word "snail . " Yet, they looked completely different from cone snails and the Oliva emicator . Their bodies were almost transparent, including the shells . A pair of pea-leaf-shaped translucent wings fluttered like a dancing butterfly . Therefore, they had a more appropriate nickname: "sea butterflies . "　　
The helicid pteropods were also gorgeous––they were attractive enough to be the stars of the aquarium . Yet, their most important mission was to be the sea angels' food . Sea angels had a surprisingly monotonous dinner menu, just like pandas . Their only food was the helicid pteropods . 　　
Zhang Zian also hoped the helicid pteropods would breed quickly and give birth to more helicid pteropods . 　　
He wasn't worried about the sea angels starving before it got to that point . That was because sea angels could survive a long time without food . Maybe the cold water temperature lowered their metabolism . They could survive by only feeding once a year .
The third tank was like the previous two, with a smaller tank inside a bigger tank and ice packs in between . The difference in the third tank was that there was thick ice floating on top of the water, which meant the tank needed an even lower temperature––almost 0 degrees Celsius . Yet the tank was empty .
What kind of creature could live in such a low temperature?
