Chapter 68 The Enraged Little Lemon
Chapter 68 The Enraged Little Lemon
With the girl's gentle coaxing, Gu Zhibei quickly fell asleep.
It was as if he was having a dream.
In his dream, the boy became a hungry fisherman, searching day after day on the vast ocean for the legendary East Sea Fish Palace, where a little fish god was said to grant all his wishes.
However, a sudden storm blew him away, sending him flying to a magnificent palace.
Fortunately, the master of the palace appreciated him, so he became a diligent fruit farmer again, paying his share of the grain in the palace every day and watering the majestic little lemon emperor on the dragon throne.
The water had only been poured halfway when suddenly the ground shook violently.
Gu Zhibei turned his head and saw that the floodwaters were rushing in with a roar!
It turns out that the powerful Little Fish Lord has stormed the palace!
He was so frightened that he pulled up his pants and ran away, but fortunately, His Majesty Little Lemon was no pushover either, and with a wave of his hand, he scattered a large amount of gold bars.
The gold bars landed and instantly transformed into 100,000 glittering golden celestial soldiers and generals, who faced the menacing shrimp and crab soldiers and generals in the great water.
The heavenly soldiers and generals were truly formidable, defeating the shrimp soldiers and crab generals so thoroughly that they all turned into seawater and disappeared.
Gu Zhibei was about to cheer, hoping to use sweet words to gain a share of the credit.
But then Little Fish suddenly snorted coldly, raised his paintbrush, and in the blink of an eye, repainted the shrimp soldiers and crab generals that had previously dissolved into water foam.
A massive army surged in again.
The boy trembled with fear and backed away repeatedly.
He accidentally bumped the back of his head against a pillar behind him.
In a daze, countless unfamiliar memories flooded my mind.
Gu Zhibei remembered everything, everything... he remembered it all!
It turns out he was the strongest being who ruled over the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths—
The Unrivaled Cat Emperor of All Ages!
"A minor deity among mortals."
The boy revealed his true form, and in an instant, boundless majesty enveloped the entire world.
He glanced indifferently at the suppressed Little Fish and Little Lemon:
"This farce should end."
"From now on, one will be in my fish tank, and the other will be my potted plant."
"Anyone who dares to cause trouble, I'll spank them."
The two maids knelt on the ground, not daring to utter a single complaint.
Gu Zhibei was quite satisfied and was about to turn and leave when, unexpectedly, the seemingly most obedient and docile Little Fish suddenly sprang into action, tackling the Cat Emperor, who had momentarily lowered his guard, to the ground and subjecting him to wanton humiliation...
"Well……"
Cat Emperor opened his eyes groggily.
She seemed to be carrying the legendary forbidden artifact, the Cat Tower Stone, which stripped him of all his cultivation, making it hard for him to breathe.
Uh, wait, what is Cat Emperor...?
Gu Zhibei's mind gradually cleared.
Seemingly sensing his state, the petite body pressing down on him immediately moved away warily.
"You're awake?" The girl's voice sounded perfectly normal.
If you ignore her very faint breathing.
Gu Zhibei yawned and didn't say anything more.
Little Fish was willing to turn a blind eye when rewarding him, so of course he had to maintain that tacit understanding.
The boy buried his face in the blanket, seemingly wanting to continue sleeping.
"Lazybones, get up and go to school." Jiang Youyu pinched his ear.
Gu Zhibei said reluctantly, "...I'll only get up if I get a reward."
Little Fish fell silent for a moment, seemingly hesitating.
He wouldn't get out of bed if she didn't say anything.
The girl had no choice but to comply with his request.
She leaned close to Gu Zhibei's face, but then suddenly stopped, leaving the expectant boy disappointed.
"You need to issue a mission..." She was incredibly cunning.
Gu Zhibei immediately felt like he had shot himself in the foot.
"Then let's guide the young lady to lower Xiaoyuer's affection level."
he thought.
A task was assigned to Jiang Youyu.
The girl was finally satisfied... or rather, she was just giving herself a plausible excuse.
She gently cupped the boy's face, turning him towards her, then shyly covered his eyes, forbidding him to look...
A soft, warm, moist touch came from my forehead.
"Alright, if you don't get up now, you'll be late for school..."
"..."
Gu Zhibei was somewhat dissatisfied. How could his favorability rating increase just because he was kissed on the forehead?
Unfortunately, Jiang Youyu had already escaped in her wheelchair.
He left the girl's bed.
Wash up and change clothes.
When I arrived in the living room, Xiaoyuer had already filled a bowl with hot porridge.
Looking at the full bowl of porridge, Gu Zhibei felt a pang of pain in his stomach.
He glanced at the girl whose face was filled with expectation and who kept stealing glances at him, and sighed inwardly.
If you don't have a big appetite, how will you be able to drink fish and lemon porridge in the future?
He ate it all, leaving not a single bite.
After coaxing Xiaoyuer back to her room to rest, Gu Zhibei quickly slipped through the crack in the door.
As expected, the young lady was waiting at the door with breakfast in hand again.
It looked like she was going to break down the door if he didn't come out soon.
Good morning, Gu Zhibei.
The girl's eyebrows and eyes were relaxed, and the corners of her lips curled up in a sweet smile.
During the year they were classmates in the first year of high school, Gu Zhibei never saw her smile.
Now I see it every day.
"Good morning."
The girl's smile made Gu Zhibei feel better.
Besides the extra big bag of breakfast in my hand.
It's the same familiar combination.
Pei Qingning seemed to never get tired of eating it.
The portions were exactly the same as mine.
Gu Zhibei rubbed his stomach, his eyes resolute.
Maybe this is the price of becoming a scumbag.
"Where's your assistant?" he asked casually.
The girl chewed on a xiaolongbao (soup dumpling), her cheeks puffing out as she said:
"She's a 'food delivery girl' now."
Were they downgraded?
Gu Zhibei understood what she meant.
I don't know what the young lady dislikes about her.
"The assistant will bother me and Gu Zhibei, but the person who delivers the food won't," the girl added.
Sorry, I'll definitely try to persuade you to give me a raise later.
The two ate as they walked.
Their arms bumped together from time to time.
Gu Zhibei moved a little further away.
The young lady then clung to her relentlessly.
She issued the order:
"Gu Zhibei, be a good boy/girl."
"Yes, ma'am."
"Gu Zhibei, wipe my mouth."
He stopped and looked at Pei Qingning.
The girl's pink lips were coated with a layer of oil, making them appear crystal clear, like a candied hawthorn skewer coated with sugar.
She tilted her head up, gently pouting her lips, her clear, glassy eyes devoid of any impurities, like a little princess waiting for a young knight to serve her.
The young knight's heart was as firm as iron: "You must issue a mission."
"Gu Zhibei, you're being naughty."
She narrowed her eyes in displeasure.
Gu Zhibei smiled but remained silent.
Pei Qingning's eyes instantly welled up with tears, as if she was about to cry.
Gu Zhibei watched her perform.
"Gu Zhibei, cunning!"
The young lady said sullenly,
"Task issued..."
Gu Zhibei then took out a tissue and wiped the grease off the clingy girl's mouth.
He thought for a moment: "Should I check my level of affection for you? There's a surprise in store."
"Check the favorability rating."
The little machine immediately began to imitate human voices.
The boy then imitated Xiaoruji's tone:
"Ding~ Gu Zhibei's current favorability towards you is [-1]. Please keep up the good work."
Pei Qingning was stunned.
Even the cheeks that had been puffing out stopped.
It's like a hamster that happily returns home only to find that all its winter food has been stolen.
Gu Zhibei explained the new rules and took the opportunity to complain about Xiaoyuer's behavior.
A terrifying expression immediately appeared on the girl's face...
