He spoke a long speech filled with stern words and firm determination…..
……..
But Bai Ze didn’t listen at all; right now, the only thing on his mind was that chicken leg, the chicken leg that had fallen on the ground!
“Wuwuwu!~ My chicken leg; why, why must heaven tear us apart like this, you are so plump and juicy, and I just purely wanted to eat……. what a cruel fate……… ugh~~”
Before he could finish this emotional speech, Li Miaosheng planted a “steamed bun” on his head with a smack
“All you think about is eating! Hurry up, the last chicken……… damn! You actually dropped such precious food on the ground!”
“Don’t you know wasting food is shameful?”
As Li Miaosheng said this, his eyes were wide open, staring at the chicken leg while swallowing his saliva….
But after a few seconds, he quickly picked it up and blew on the surface of the fried chicken:
“Quick! Bai Ze! The three-second rule still applies, don’t waste it! We’re running low on funds!”
As soon as he said that, Bai Ze immediately shook his head in refusal:
“No way! Big brother, are you a devil? It fell on the ground………”
“Huh?!” the protagonist shouted sternly, instantly silencing Bai Ze who was about to continue arguing
“A devil? I don’t care what you say, just eat it! You should bear the consequences of your own mistakes….”
“Eat it!”
With such commanding words and reasoning, Bai Ze couldn’t refuse at all
He thought to himself: {It’s fine, it’s fine, it’s just food, at worst I’ll get diarrhea; when hungry, even dogs dare to eat shit, so what’s wrong with me, the divine beast Bai Ze, eating food that fell on the ground! Think of it as sympathizing with the common people, isn’t that good?}
That’s what he thought internally, but his tightly furrowed brows completely betrayed him
He took the chicken leg from Li Miaosheng and ate it with his eyes half-closed….
{…….Hmm? Not bad, even though it fell on the ground, it’s still quite tasty}
His expression basically went from frowning to relaxing, and from relaxing to thoroughly enjoying it! =-=
After savoring it for a moment, Bai Ze suddenly realized something and hurriedly held his head, muttering softly:
“Wait, that’s not right! I’m a divine beast; where’s my dignity! My dignity!…….”
………
Meanwhile, on the other side, seeing Bai Ze finish the chicken leg, Li Miaosheng immediately leaned close to him and said with a grin:
“Hey Bai Ze! You see, I’ve been feeding you so well every day…….”
Bai Ze’s inner thoughts: (Alert!) No kindness without reason is either deceit or theft! And how is this ‘good food’? I eat fried chicken, but what about you! Don’t think I don’t know you put abalone and sea cucumber in your instant noodles!
This is all a setup! A setup!!
……..
On the surface: “Alright big brother! Just say what you want! Between us, do we really need to beat around the bush?”
{If it weren’t for the food you provide…… hmph!}
“That’s great! Lend me a few strands of your fur…….”
“What?! Big brother, what do you need that for? Didn’t I just pluck some for you a few days ago?”
Bai Ze showed a look of disgust and immediately moved far away from Li Miaosheng, afraid he might take action directly and leave him with no chance to resist………
“Yeah! That was a few days ago, now is now! I gave that fur away before, now I need some for myself…… besides, didn’t you just say we’re close, giving a few strands should be easy, right?”
The protagonist grinned slyly, wearing a strange expression as he looked at Bai Ze:
“Come on, take off your clothes and let me pluck a few strands, let big brother check if they’re growing properly~!”
“Big brother! Don’t do this!! Big brother no~!”
With nowhere to escape, Bai Ze could only back into the corner of the living room, looking at the slowly approaching Li Miaosheng with despair in his eyes
………..
After a struggle, the protagonist finally managed to pluck a tuft of Bai Ze’s armpit hair
This fur was different from the others; not only was it smooth to the touch, more importantly, it had the effect of dispelling evil
“The fur is indeed quite good; it’s just that the place it grows is a bit… delicate~!….”
He sniffed it and was surprised to find that it had no bad smell at all, instead carrying a faint earthy fragrance
But seeing this, Bai Ze immediately covered his face and cried:
“Wuwuwu~! I’ve been defiled, defiled….. who would’ve thought big brother is this kind of person, even Bai Ze isn’t spared…..”
Hearing this, Li Miaosheng was immediately shocked:
“Hey, hey! Bai Ze, you can’t just say whatever you want! What do you mean ‘this kind of person’? I just plucked some of your fur………..”
“Plucked? That’s clearly called robbery!……”
Before he could finish, Bai Ze quickly interrupted, glaring at him resentfully
This left the protagonist defeated for a moment, and he could only silently walk up to Bai Ze, who was bare-chested, and gently pat his head
He said earnestly:
“Bai Ze, that’s just how life is, sometimes when someone plucks your fur, there’s no reason for it….. it’s just fur! It’ll grow back in a month or so…”
“More importantly……… don’t you think we should investigate that culprit’s lair now?”
After those words, along with Li Miaosheng’s signature head-pat, Bai Ze nodded repeatedly:
“Mm-hmm! That’s right! Big brother plucked my fur because of that thing! If it falls into my hands, I must strip all its fur off; to commemorate my lost fur…….”
“……..”
Obviously, after all this time, his low intelligence and wild imagination made him nothing like the legendary Bai Ze
Knowing his scheme had succeeded, Li Miaosheng secretly laughed in his heart, though his face still looked serious:
“Good! Very good!” (clap clap clap)
“I’m glad you have this awareness, Bai Ze; now let’s begin! Turn these rooms upside down!”
