Chapter 265: Common Enemy of Little Animals

Zhu Yao reached the bottom floor and subconsciously tried to cast an art to summon her flying sword . Then, she realized she had already returned . After making an awkward face, she silently pulled out her car key, and walked to that second-handed worn-down car . The entire journey was a bumpy ride . It had been a long time since she drove, so she basically drove at a turtle crawling speed, and ended up being honked by the cars behind her till she reached the company .

Unsurprisingly, she was late!

The game company she worked at was rather tolerant to their employees, being late by… a few minutes would not result to a cut in salary . Following her memory, she directly went to the human resources department to cancel her leave, before heading over to the planning department . The moment she walked through the door, she saw that fat cat lying on the cabinet at the side .

Zhu Yao had never been liked by animals since young . When she lived in her old home back then, she would often be chased by the neighbours’ dogs down several streets . She was bestowed with the title: Dog Go Crazy . Mn . The moment dogs were to see her, they would immediately go crazy . When she was young, the number of times she was scratched and bitten by cats and dogs was countless . Thus, she raised the habit of retreating automatically the moment she were to spot a furry animal .

For some reason, she unexpectedly gave that fat cat another glance today . When she recalled the days in the cultivation world where she was sought after by various beasties, and that heaven-defying World Favourable Impression, maybe… Her strange physique had improved for the better? At a moment of impulse, Zhu Yao could not help but experiment a little .

She weakly reached out her hand, stretching towards that fat cat . “Meow Meow . ” Come, let me stroke you .

Strangely, that fat cat actually did not resist, nor did it walk away . It instead narrowed its eyes and leaned towards her hand .

It’s effective, it’s really effective! Zhu Yao had an excited look on her face .

Just as she was about to touch the fat cat’s head, the cat suddenly opened its mouth, and “ahmu”, bit on the gap between her thumb and her index finger .

“…” Alright, as expected, there wasn’t any change at all . That was why, she hated little animals the most . “Aiya . It hurts, it hurts…”

“Boss, why did you offend this fat cat all of a sudden?” Mouse walked over, and looked at her with an expression that seemed as if he was looking at an idiot . “You already get scratched by this cat five times a month, yet you still dare to touch it on your own accord . You sure have guts!”

“Stop with the nonsense . ” Zhu Yao glared at him . “Hurry and think of a way to make it release me . My hand is about to tear off . ”

“Alright!” Mouse refreshingly responded, and then he lightly patted on the cat’s head .

“Meow~” That damn fat cat instantly loosened its mouth, and rubbed against his palm with a satisfied look, displaying various cutesy and flighty behaviours .

The hell, this pervy cat which preferred men over women!

Zhu Yao hurriedly retreated a few steps back .

“You’re bleeding . ” Mouse hugged onto the fat cat with one arm, and pointed at her hand with his other available hand . “There’s medicine in the lounge . Go and treat it for now . It’s best that you get yourself inoculated or something . ”

“Mn . ” Zhu Yao nodded .

“Haah, I really wonder what the Big Boss is thinking . He clearly knows that you’re afraid of animals, yet he still wants everyone to raise cats . ”

There was an unreliable boss in her company . He would often come up with ridiculous policies, and this cat was one of them . A year ago, it was unknown what kind of crazy thought flew into the boss’s mind, as he wanted to cram a cat into every department no matter what, saying that it was to attract fortune . The one in her department was raised the fattest of them all, and it was also the most tyrannical one . The first few days it arrived, it scratched every single colleague in the department . After that, when it had gotten used to the environment, it then began to treat people a little better, other than Zhu Yao .

She hurriedly cleaned off her wound, and realized that only a thin layer of her skin was cut off, nothing that serious . She casually stuck a band-aid on it, and then prepared to head back to work . However, she realized that her boss was presently waiting in her office, and in his hands, was that fat cat .

Zhu Yao had the impulse to storm out of the building .

“Yao Yao, you’re here . ” The man sitting on the chair picked up one of the cat’s paw and waved it at her, his face was filled with smiles .

“Fatty, why are you here again?” Zhu Yao glared at him .

“Aiya, isn’t it because I missed you after not seeing you at work for a week?” Fatty threw her a flirtatious look, the fats on his face trembled a few times .

Zhu Yao could not be bothered to deal with this damn fatty, as she turned around to pour a cup of water for herself . “If you have something to say, say it now . If you want to fart, then do it quickly . ”

“Hoho, I indeed have something important to inform you . ” He pointed at the chair in front, hinting to her to have a seat .

Zhu Yao narrowed her eyes . “Sure, throw that cat out first . ”

Fatty had a complicated look . Stroking the pet which was extremely smooth to touch, he stood up with a reluctant look, and hugged the cat out . “Meow Meow, this emperor shall patronize you later . ”

“…”

“Yao Yao!” Fatty sat back on the chair . “Actually, it’s not a big issue . It’s just that during the period you were on leave, I made a very important decision . ”

“What decision?” Zhu Yao sat down .

Fatty scratched his head, and said with a chuckle . “It’s nothing much actually, just that the company requires a few technical adjustments for its future . ”

“Mn?”

“I sold the company!”

Puuuf…

Zhu Yao immediately spat his entire face with water, and then slammed the cup onto the table . “What did you say? Fatty Yu, if you have the guts, say it once more!”

“Calm down, calm down . ” Fatty stood up, picked up the document folder on the table and fanned her .

“How am I supposed to calm down?” Flames of fury instantly surged, and Zhu Yao charged right up to him . Though this company belonged to Fatty, the games operated by the company were all made by them from the ground up . Their current state of affairs was excellent, yet he actually said he sold it . “Fatty Yu, do you believe I will kick you?”

“Aiyo!” Fatty hid to the side . “Let me finish . The games in our company had such good prospects, that’s why we have to take this opportunity to sell for a huge price . Yao Yao, you must know that although this game company belongs to an organization, the organization mainly deals with real estate . No matter how well we do on the internet here, we won’t make that big of a progress . Wouldn’t it be better to accept the organization’s suggestion, and incorporate ourselves into an internet figurehead? We’re still making games, so it doesn’t make a difference to you, just that your boss has changed . ”

“…” Zhu Yao calmed down . What Fatty said was not illogical . Though, after working for so many years, to suddenly hear that the company was sold, she would still feel a little unsatisfied . “Nevermind, I don’t understand operational matters . Since you have already sold it, let it be then . ”

Fatty was a little unexpected to find her flames quelled so easily . Seeing that she was no longer flaring up, he heaved a sigh of relief . “Oh right, the new company will be bringing forward a general manager to take over my position . I will be returning to my old home tomorrow . ”

“Ou!” Zhu Yao nodded .

Fatty’s expression instantly sank . “We are after all old classmates . Before I go, don’t you have something to say to me?”

“Die early, and go to the afterlife early!”

“…”

“Reincarnate properly, and be a human again . ”

“…”

“Oh, right . Fatty Yu, I will have the colleagues send those cats in the company back to your home . ”

“I’m called Yu Banban . ” Why had he never heard her call his name correctly ever since they were young?

“It’s about the same . In any case, they both sound girly!”

“…” Being friends with her was a terrible mistake .

Probably because she had transmigrated once before, Zhu Yao’s persistence towards the company had dampened quite a bit . Back then, she had only pulled in a few little companions . They made a few small games, and established an unknown small company . Then, she encountered this old classmate Yu Banban, a rich second generation, and ended up selling the company to him . With funds in hand, they slowly made the company bigger . Now that Yu Banban said that he wanted to sell it, as a worker, she indeed did not have the qualifications to say anything . Though Fatty was a little unreliable, his business sense was still pretty good . Since he felt that selling it was a good idea, then naturally, he had his own reasons .

After thinking it through, the resentful thoughts within Zhu Yao had all disappeared . Presently, most of the people in the company were handing over their work, and as a game planner, she suddenly had some free time . Thus, she idled for while, before deciding to leave early .

Her master was still at home after all, and she could not put down her worry at all . Though she had taught him several things in the past few days, she could not help but worry . Nothing will happen if he’s left alone at home, right? What should I do if he accidentally gets electrocuted? What if I have forgotten to turn off the gas? What should I do if someone had come over to check the water meter?

The more she thought about it, the more worried she became . Thus, she bade farewell to Fatty, and hurriedly left for home .

While she was journeying back home, she even took notice of her surroundings, afraid that she would hear news of an accident occurring at a certain place . Fortunately, she returned home safe and sound . Opening the door with an uneasy feeling, she actually saw a certain master, sitting on the chair quietly .

He had already changed into modern attire . Dressed in white shirt and black slacks, she simply could not bear to cut off that black silky hair of his, and had in the end combed it into a bun and tied it at the back of his head . Sunlight shone on him, and it felt as if a white gentle light was sprinkling down from all over his body . It was presently afternoon, and he was sitting on the chair next to the dining table, looking at her with his head raised .

The usual ice-cold face, was emitting out a few hints of warmth, as if he was someone from a painting for a moment . He was beautiful to the point where it was hard for people to breathe .

“Master…” Emotions instantly surged within her heart, as she pounced right towards him . “I miss you so much . ” I really want to gobble him up!

Yu Yan put down the cup in his hand, and reached out his hand to stroke her head . “You have only gone out for four hours . ”

“Four hours, two hundred and forty minutes . It’s a very long time, master!”

“Are you done with your work?” He casually pulled her over to sit on his thigh .

“Mn!” Zhu Yao wrapped around his neck, and hugged a little tighter . “Master, did anything happen at home?”

A light flashed in Yu Yan’s eyes, and then he shook his head . After pondering for a moment, he said . “But your master has a few doubts . ”

He looked as if he was about to materialized into ‘Hundred Thousand Whys?’ again . Her heart skipped a beat, as she diverted the topic . “So thirsty . Let me first get some ice water . ” After driving all the way back, she was indeed a little thirsty .

She hurriedly rose to her feet, and casually pulled open the refrigerator door…

Klang . The refrigerator that was still standing tall earlier, instantly turned into countless components, crashing onto the ground . Only the refrigerator door remained in her hand .

Zhu Yao was dumbfounded . Just what happened?

“I was just about to ask you, where do I install this part of the mystic artifact?” Yu Yan passed her a large circuit board .

…

A long while later .

“Master, can I discuss something with you?”

“Mn?”

“Can you not be prodigal?”

His eyes swam away for a while, before he said with a stern look . “I fixed it back . ”

“…” The circuit board is still outside, and you’re telling me you fixed it!?

My heart hurts so much!

What’s a prodigal? A certain master did not understand . However, he had sensed his disciple’s depressed emotions . Was it because she was unable to drink ice water? Mn, as a good, qualified master, he should take good care of his disciple . Thus, he poured a cup of water, and with a twist of his hand, the entire cup was instantly filled with frost .

“Here!” Drink this .

Zhu Yao had face that looked as if she was about to cry, as she received it . “Master…”

“Mn?”

“You can’t drink unboiled tap water, even if it’s frozen!”
