Many people in the pet shop, including Zhang Zian, witnessed the incident.

Moments ago, the little boy held the Teacup Puppy in his hands. Unlike normal pet owners who put the Teacup Puppies in cups to take pictures of them, the little boy treated the dog like a toy and pulled its legs and twisted its ears.

The dog turned around to bite the little boy, who swiftly withdrew his hands. The dog lost its balance and fell from his hands. Fearing that the dog would get hurt, the little boy grabbed one of its back legs in the air, causing it to be dislocated.

The dog cried in pain and snarled violently, but because it was upside down, it couldn't bite anyone. The little boy didn't want put the injured dog down because he knew it might bite people.

Annoyed and embarrassed, the rich woman went to slap the boy.

Zhang Zian reacted quickly. He grabbed the woman's wrist to keep her from slapping the boy, then he pulled out a box from the shelves behind him for the dog to sit in.

"This is none of your business! I'm punishing my own son!" The woman's face became grim.

"It's not my business what you do at home, but you're in my shop," Zhang Zian responded while examining the dog. "So, you need to obey my rules."

Zhang Zian didn't care about other people's parenting styles, but he'd never allow anyone to beat their children in his pet shop.

The little boy was scared, but he had a naughty smile on his face. Obviously, it wasn't his first time getting beat.

After being put in the box, the dog was no longer freaking out. It huddled in the corner, its dislocated leg twitching from time to time.

"How's the puppy, Mr. Store Manager?" asked a concerned Snowy.

The rich woman extended her hand to Zhang Zian. "Give me my dog back!"

Zhang Zian nodded. "You can have it back when you leave the shop. If it bites you outside my shop, it's none of my business."

The woman suddenly became less arrogant.

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"It's very simple. The smaller a dog is, the stronger its defense mechanism is, and the more it likes to bite. Once injured, a small dog is more easily provoked," Zhang Zian explained.

Just like the Tibetan Mastiffs, Teacup Puppies didn't refer to a certain dog breed, but it was the collective name of several breeds of tiny dogs that could fit inside teacups. Teacup Puppies included Teacup Poodles, Teacup Chihuahuas, Teacup Pomeranians, Teacup Yorkies, etc.

In recent years, perhaps due to the influence of socialite Paris Hilton, many celebrities took pride in raising Teacup Puppies. However, Teacup Puppies were the results of deformity, like dwarfs. Their hearts and lungs were too small to support the normal circulation of their bodies. They survived only by accelerating the frequencies of their heartbeats and breaths. Their overly petite size also caused their bones to be extremely fragile, so contact with humans that were normal for average dogs might cause injury to Teacup Puppies.

Breeding was extremely difficult for Teacup Puppies because their reproductive systems were very small. They could only reproduce one or two puppies in one litter. Everything about them made them very rare and expensive. The prices of Teacup Puppies ranged from 10,000 Yuan to 100,000 Yuan.

Just like the Scottish Fold cats, the Teacup Puppies were deformed pets. So, Zhang Zian had no intention to introduce Teacup Puppies to his pet shop.

The woman hesitated. Though she wanted her dog back, she worried that it'd bite her, leaving scars on her delicate hands.

"How about this? I'll sell this box to you. You should bring it to a veterinarian and set its dislocated bone as soon as possible." Zhang Zian handed her the box.

The woman didn't care about buying a box. She just felt like she was very unlucky. She came here to buy a Teacup Puppy, but all she got was a box. There wasn't anything she could do, so she pulled out her credit card, ready to pay.

Suddenly, her cell phone rang from her bag.

"Hello?" she answered the phone, "who's this?"

A man's voice could be vaguely heard over the phone.

The man said that his last name was Zhang. Zhang Zian couldn't hear his first name clearly. It was inappropriate to eavesdrop on others, so he carried the cooler over to the inner area of his shop. Zhang Zian thought he had heard of the man's name before, he just couldn't remember what it was.

"Where?" The woman's voice was so loud that Zhang Zian could hear her through the glass door.

Fina glared at him. "Finally, you're back. I thought I was going to starve to death!"

"Meow! Your Majesty, do you know why the people that served emperors were castrated?" Snowy Lionet stared at Zhang Zian's crotch and licked its claws menacingly. "Because they were more diligent in running errands because they weren't distracted by women."

While taking the food out of the cooler, Zhang Zian explained, "Your Imperial Kitchen was overcrowded, so lunch was prepared a bit late."

"Is that so? I don't care! No one messes with my dining schedule!" Fina said resolutely.

"All right, I'll give your feedback to the chefs. It's your fault that the Imperial Kitchen is crowded. Your chefs might have to close the business," Zhang Zian flattered Fina.

"Tut! Tell me about it, I can solve any problem!" Fina said arrogantly.

Snowy Lionet wanted to talk more, but Zhang Zian shut it up by throwing a piece of raw beef brisket into its food bowl.

Zhang Zian distributed the barbecue, fried steaks and dried fruits and vegetables to Old Time Tea, Famous and Richard. Putting everything else aside, the hungry elves concentrated on feeding themselves.

"What did you say? Love Lovely Pet Breeding Base? Where is it?"

In the outer area of the pet shop, the rich woman repeated words like she didn't hear the man clearly.
