Chapter 1358 Detective (A new month, please give me a monthly ticket)

"Woo wow."

Duanmu Huai suddenly opened his windbreaker, startling Sha Jiuye. But soon, she was attracted by the small, furry little cutie in Duanmu Huai's arms!

It must be said that the red panda is indeed very beautiful, with a round head, triangular white ears, a furry body and a fat and long tail, plus the small and cute limbs, it is just like a living puppet, no matter how you look at it, it is so lovable.

Of course, it is not to say that giant pandas are not cute, but giant pandas are too big when they grow up, and they are too picky about food. It is not a good choice as a pet, but red pandas are different. Its body is small and cute, and it eats fruits.

And red pandas are also very clean like cats. They always clean their bodies and go to the bathroom in fixed places.

If it were not for the fact that it is a protected animal that cannot be bought and sold, I am afraid that red pandas would be more popular than cats in the pet market.

Of course, the red pandas in this world are also precious. Although it is not to say that they cannot be kept as pets, the requirements are very strict and it costs a lot of money.

But for Duanmu Huai, is money a problem?

When he saw such a cute little guy curled up in Duanmu Huai's arms and stared at him curiously, Sha Jiuye felt that his heart was about to melt!

"Okay, so cute... Can I touch it, brother?"

"Of course."

Duanmu Huai laughed. The little panda was very fierce when it was sent to him, but after Duanmu Huai used [Animal Taming] on it, the little panda became much more docile and curled up in his arms without moving. Of course, this is only Duanmu Huai. If other people touch the little panda without protection, they will be in trouble.

After obtaining Duanmu Huai's consent, Sha Jiuye hesitated and slowly reached out to the little panda's nose. The latter stretched out his nose and sniffed, and Sha Jiuye also reached out and touched the little panda's head and ears. The latter shook his head, looking very comfortable.

"Ah... Woo... So this is how pandas feel..."

In just a moment, Sha Jiuye was completely addicted to it, and seeing Sha Jiuye reaching out to touch it non-stop, Duanmu Huai was also quite proud.

In fact, the reason why Duanmu Huai wanted to buy a pet, in addition to wanting to try out his skills, was to find something for Sha Jiuye to do. Sha Jiuye had followed him to two places in a row. Although Duanmu Huai drove her back in the end and did not let Sha Jiuye meet those evil gods, it was not good to do it all the time.

So Duanmu Huai thought of a way, which was to divert attention.

In short, it was to let Sha Jiuye take care of the pet, and she would definitely not take her beloved pet to those dangerous places. In this way, Duanmu Huai could prevent Sha Jiuye from encountering those troublesome guys.

Of course, this panda can also be regarded as a bodyguard for Sha Jiuye by Duanmu Huai. Although the panda looks cute, like the giant panda, these two guys are the type of cute to death, and they will not be killed at the same time.

It's just that they are relatively gentle and usually don't attack humans casually, so this illusion is created. But in fact, the red panda is called the Nine-section Wolf - why is it called the Nine-section Wolf instead of the Nine-section Fox or the Nine-section Weasel?

The "wolf" is very telling.

Just like a cat, you think a cat is cute, but when it stretches out its claws to give you a slap, you know how powerful it is.

Not to mention, the size and claws of the red panda are much larger than those of a cat.

Of course, according to reason, even if the red panda is ferocious, it is no match for a large wild beast, not to mention that it will die against the followers or offspring of the evil gods. However, Duanmu Huai has been prepared for this. He has the skill [Animal Taming]. Duanmu Huai plans to train this red panda, and then inject divine power into it to transform it into a divine beast.

In fact, there are also such aspects in the evil gods. The most famous one is Bastet, the goddess of cats. It looks like a cat or a cat head and a human body. It mainly rules the cats on the earth and the dream world. Bastet also has her own cat servant to help her protect cats.

Of course, Duanmu Huai does not need to do as much as Bastet. Although he also likes cats, he does not intend to take care of cats all over the world.

Duanmu Huai just needs to take care of his little panda.

After that, Sha Jiuye, who was eager to pet the cat, followed Duanmu Huai home. Just as Duanmu Huai thought, after returning home, Sha Jiuye spent most of her free time getting along with the little panda. Give it a bath, feed it, and play with it. Even when Duanmu Huai was training the little panda, Sha Jiuye was watching from the side, and she didn't even watch the brainless romantic dramas she liked to watch on weekdays...

Well, I have to say that the effect is remarkable.

After having the skill of [Animal Taming], Duanmu Huai found that it was indeed a bit useful.

First of all, he can use this skill to judge the character of animals, such as whether the animal is brave or timid, loyal or selfish. Take this red panda for example, in terms of character, it is relatively delicate and sensitive, but also very courageous, at least it will not abandon its owner and run away.

And this little panda also has considerable skills. Its values in [Climbing], [Reconnaissance], [Listening], [Survival], and [Tracking] are not low, at least all of them are above 60, which can just fill in Duanmu Huai's shortcomings. Of course, this little panda is an animal after all, not as versatile as the black cat that Lingnu turned into, but it is enough for Duanmu Huai.

A few days later, Duanmu Huai came to the bar again.

But this time, there was a little panda on his shoulder. The latter was wrapped around Duanmu Huai's neck like a scarf and lay on the side of his shoulder. Duanmu Huai walked to the bar as usual and snapped his fingers at the boss.

"Same as before, same as before."

"I know."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, the boss nodded and began to mix drinks silently. Duanmu Huai still sat on the original chair familiarly and looked around—there were already a few guests here, but they were all talking about their own things. Even if Duanmu Huai came in, they just glanced and retracted their gaze.

Soon, the boss prepared the drink and placed it in front of Duanmu Huai. Then he looked curiously at the red panda lying on Duanmu Huai's shoulder, which looked like a scarf.

"We don't allow animals to enter here."

"It's not a cat or a dog, it's okay."

Duanmu Huai reached out and took a sip of the drink. At the same time, he took out a grape and handed it to the red panda, who stretched out his paw to take it and began to eat it contentedly.

"I didn't expect you to get such a rare pet."

Looking at the red panda, the boss was also amazed.

"Does it have a name?"

"Yes, Mimi."

"…………………What?"

"Mimi, it's cute, isn't it very suitable for it?"

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai touched the red panda's head. Of course, he understood why the boss had this expression. In fact, when Sha Jiuye heard that he had given the red panda this name at the beginning, he also showed almost the same expression. But for Duanmu Huai, this is actually very normal. In his opinion, the name Mimi is quite cute, isn't it? Some people name their pets "Little Meow Meow" or something like that. What's the difference?

Although Sha Jiuye said that the red panda should be given a better name, Duanmu Huai didn't change the name in the end.

After all, Mimi is nice to hear, and it's also simple, convenient and easy to remember, much better than John or Alice.

If it doesn't work, it's okay to name it "Big Yellow or Little Red"?

Hearing this suggestion from Duanmu Huai, Sha Jiuye was decisively scared.

Well, Mimi is also good.

"You are still so weird."

The boss shook his head helplessly.

"By the way, someone will come to see you later."

"See me?"

"Yes, remember what I told you before? The other party hopes to talk to you... Oh, here I come."

As soon as the boss finished speaking, Duanmu Huai heard the doorbell ring, and then he saw a man wearing a windbreaker and a hat walked into the bar. He nodded to the boss, then looked at Duanmu Huai, strode over and sat next to Duanmu Huai, then ordered a glass of wine from the boss, and then turned to look at Duanmu Huai.

"Hello, Mr. Duanmu."

"Who are you?"

Duanmu Huai teased the little panda lying on his shoulder without even looking at the other party. Well, maybe it's a habit, Duanmu Huai now feels that if he doesn't do something or lie on something on his shoulder, he will feel uncomfortable.

"I'm just an ordinary detective."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's question, the latter answered.

"I came to you this time, hoping that we can cooperate."

"Cooperation?"

Duanmu Huai glanced at the other party silently.

"What do you want to cooperate with me?"

"Because we have a common enemy."

"Common enemy?"

It must be said that the words of this detective really surprised Duanmu Huai.

"I don't remember having any enemies."

"Maybe you didn't have any before, but that doesn't mean you don't have any now."

As he spoke, the detective took out a notebook and placed it on the bar.
