Chapter 351: Flattery

“Big Sister is truly amazing, so young and about to step into the Deity Transformation realm. Truly a dragon among men, Heaven’s Proud Child.”

Hearing this, Li Li immediately started flattering her, his mouth full of rainbow farts.

“Cut it out. I only broke through to the Deity Transformation realm at this age, and you, a cat not even four years old, have already reached it. How can you compare?” Hong Fu retorted, rolling her eyes.

This gluttonous cat had something to ask of her, and his mouth suddenly became so sweet, almost speaking with a silver tongue.

“It’s different. This cat is already considered a middle-aged cat, but Big Sister, you are still at a beautiful age. In this way, this cat is still slow in cultivation.” Li Li, hearing this, immediately brought up the difference in race and age.

“Come on, even if you calculate it that way, your cultivation speed still surpasses mine.” Hong Fu rolled her eyes and patted Li Li’s big head. “I’ll naturally help refine the Transformation Pill when I have time. You gluttonous cat, stop flattering me. Go back early, you hear? I’m currently nurturing pills and don’t have time to talk to you.”

Usually, she would have time to chat with this chatterbox, but not now. She had to be fully focused to refine the pills.

“Alright! Then I’ll be going.” Hearing this, Li Li nodded his big head and was about to call Wu Xiaohui to leave with him, but Hong Fu interrupted him just as he opened his mouth:

“Sister Xiaohui, stay here with me. I’ll help her refine her pill after I finish this batch. It’s troublesome for you to take her back and then come back again, isn’t it?”

Hearing this, Li Li couldn’t help but pat his head in admiration and said:

“That makes sense. I knew Big Sister is meticulous and intelligent. You even considered things that this cat didn’t think of.”

“Cut it out. You only speak so nicely when you need something. Otherwise, I wouldn’t see you for half a day.” Hong Fu rolled her eyes and waved her hand as if shooing away a fly.

Seeing this, Li Li grinned, waved his paw, and left.

It was better for Big Sister if he wasn’t around, so he could go about his own business.

“Um, Sister Hong Fu, do you need me to do anything?” Wu Xiaohui, who stayed behind, looked at the empty room and then at Hong Fu, who was preparing to refine pills, and asked.

She felt a bit embarrassed to trouble her this time, after all, she hadn’t provided any medicinal herbs or offered any payment.

“No need, Sister Xiaohui, just stay and chat with me. I’m really bored right now. This batch of Spirit Nurturing Pills will take a long time to nurture, so I need someone to talk to.” Hong Fu said.

“Uh, if you’re so bored, why didn’t you let Fat Cat stay and perform backflips?” Wu Xiaohui was taken aback.

Bored? It wouldn’t be boring with Fat Cat around, why did Sister Hong Fu let him go back?

“If I let him stay, it wouldn’t be boring, but I wouldn’t be able to resist petting him. Then I wouldn’t be able to focus on nurturing the pills.” Hong Fu explained.

Petting a cat required using hands, and if she used her hands, she wouldn’t be able to control the fire with her hand gestures. So she couldn’t let the gluttonous cat stay.

“I see. Alright then.” Wu Xiaohui, after a moment of thought, picked a random topic and started chatting with Hong Fu.

“Mimi, why are you back alone? Where’s Sister Xiaohui?”

Liu Yun, who was browsing her phone and shopping for spears online, saw Li Li suddenly drop down. She waited for a while but didn’t see another figure, so she couldn’t help but ask.

They went as a cat and a ghost, so why was he the only one back now?

“Big Sister, you mean Sister Ghost? She stayed with Sister Hong Fu to wait for the pill to be finished. It’ll take some time, so this cat came back to inform you.” Li Li, after landing on the ground and bouncing up, jumped onto the sofa, stretched, and said.

“So that’s how it is. I thought you took Sister Xiaohui somewhere and sold her.” Liu Yun couldn’t help but tease.

“Don’t joke around. This cat is a decent cat and wouldn’t do such a thing.” Li Li said righteously. Although he sold skeletons, medicinal herbs, and spirit stones, he had never done business selling ghosts, okay?

Big Sister shouldn’t slander him like that.

“Really? Then why did I hear from Sister Xiaohui that when she was cultivating in the pendant, you tricked her into coming out, promising to introduce her to a Shovel Officer as a boyfriend?” Liu Yun said, her eyes scanning the stretching Li Li. This bad cat still wanted to lie to her?

He was righteous? She had never seen a cat more unorthodox than him.

“That wasn’t tricking, it was mutual consent, okay? As the saying goes, women should marry when they grow up, men should marry when they grow up. I saw that Sister Ghost was so lonely and longed for a home, so of course I did my best to help, right?” Li Li, hearing this, immediately stood up and said righteously:

“My Shovel Officer, although a bit stupid, a bit ugly, not very bright, and often forgetful, is at least honest, okay? He’s the most suitable to give a home to a girl like Sister Ghost who longs for a family.”

“Uh, Mimi, does your Shovel Officer know you’re saying this about him?” Liu Yun couldn’t help but be speechless. She just casually mentioned it, but Mimi talked even more than her, and most of it was about his flaws.

“Of course he knows, and I believe he definitely won’t mind because this cat is telling the truth.” Li Li nodded his big head.

“Achoo!”

At the same time, in the milk tea shop, Li Hao, who had just finished discussing the partnership, suddenly sneezed, almost bumping his head on the table.

“Brother Li Hao, are you alright?” Seeing this, A Liang hurriedly helped stabilize the table and asked.

It was such a powerful sneeze, almost knocking the table over. Fortunately, he reacted quickly. Otherwise, before their business even started, they would have to compensate the milk tea shop owner for a table.

“I’m fine, just a sneeze.” Li Hao, being asked, took out a tissue and wiped his nose, muttering softly: “Who’s talking bad about me behind my back? I’ve been practicing martial arts for so long, I’m immune to cold and heat, it can’t be a cold.”

“Really? Then your Shovel Officer is truly blessed to have you.” Liu Yun’s lips twitched. Although she hadn’t met Mimi’s Shovel Officer, judging from his description, he was probably a cat slave.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be talked about like this.

“Of course, this cat is intelligent, unparalleled for eternity, and has helped him so much, practically like his reborn parents.” Hearing this, Li Li immediately started praising himself.

The things he did for his Shovel Officer, even his biological parents could only do this much, right?

“That’s about seventy to eighty percent true.” Liu Yun chuckled and nodded.

Although she hadn’t met Mimi’s Shovel Officer, she had heard Mimi talk about him. He was a university student who had just graduated not long ago.

With the cat’s help, he learned a whole set of martial arts and used the money from the cat’s advertising gigs to buy a house, basically skipping ten to twenty years of struggle.

“It’s not just seventy to eighty percent, it’s one hundred percent.” Li Li corrected her, looking at Liu Yun. “By the way, Big Sister, my Shovel Officer and another guy are going to open a martial arts school together at the university. If you have time, you can go and take a look.”

“Oh? Opening a martial arts school?” Liu Yun immediately became interested. After all, she rarely went out and hadn’t met many martial artists.

And now Mimi’s Shovel Officer was going to open a martial arts school? That was something new.

“Yes, this cat thinks a 996 work schedule isn’t suitable for Shovel Officer, so I suggested he start his own business and be his own boss. It just so happens that this cat has some connections at the university, so I suggested he open a martial arts school.” Li Li nodded and added: “I originally wanted to invite Big Sister to join in, but after thinking about it, your job is decent and your salary is high, so I didn’t mention it.”

Shovel Officer and Glasses Bro had low salaries and worked for others, so they had no choice but to start their own business.

But Sister Liu Yun was different. She was a fair, rich, and beautiful woman earning over 10,000 yuan a month, so there was no need for her to do such a public-facing job.

“You’ve considered things quite thoroughly. But when it comes to teaching martial arts, I’m really not good at it.” Liu Yun smiled, not really minding.

After all, she wasn’t the kind of person who liked to teach or be in the limelight.

“Mm-hmm, I knew Big Sister would say that.” Li Li replied, then rubbed against Liu Yun’s hand and said: “By the way, Big Sister, this cat can sleep here tonight and not go back. Shovel Officer and that guy are discussing their partnership, it’ll probably take a while for them to finish, so this cat doesn’t need to pay attention to him.”

“Really? You little rascal, why didn’t you say so earlier?” Liu Yun’s eyes lit up, and she carried Li Li to her room.

“Meow meow, Big Sister, you’re going to bed so early? Shouldn’t we get some food and drinks, watch TV, chat, and stay up late?” Li Li asked in surprise, being carried into the room. Who goes to bed so early? This was against the modern young people’s sleep schedule, okay?

“Of course not, staying up late is a woman’s biggest enemy, so Big Sister always goes to bed early.” Liu Yun said, covering Li Li with the blanket. “Alright, Mimi, you go to sleep early too, don’t stay up late often. Look, you’ve stayed up so late your eyes have gotten smaller.”

“They haven’t! This cat’s eyes were always small, okay? They didn’t get smaller from staying up late.” Li Li muttered, but didn’t struggle anymore. Sleeping was sleeping, there was nothing to worry about.

“Really? Then you should go to bed even earlier.” Liu Yun smiled, hugged Li Li, and said: “Close your eyes with Big Sister, okay? Let’s sleep together, and wake up early tomorrow morning.”

“Okay okay.” Li Li replied and closed his eyes, starting to snore within seconds.

This surprised Liu Yun, who wasn’t asleep yet. She didn’t expect Li Li to fall asleep so quickly.

He fell asleep before they even exchanged a few words, it was too outrageous. But it was also good.

She didn’t have to worry about him suddenly disappearing in his sleep.

“Wenwen, where did you go to play today?” In another house, the Guidance Director, hearing the sound, looked at the door and said.

“What else could I be doing? Of course, I was shopping with friends. Dad, you always go to bed early, why are you waiting at the door for me to come back?” Wenwen replied as she hung her bag on the coat rack.

She then walked over and sat down opposite the Guidance Director. Since her dad was waiting for her, it couldn’t be because he had nothing better to do, he must have something to tell her.

“Of course I have something to say.” The Guidance Director looked at his daughter and said: “There’s a martial arts school in the university that’s about to open, I want you to go and apply for a job there. What do you think?”

“Apply for a job at a martial arts school? Dad, I have real skills, why do I need to apply for a job at a martial arts school?” Wenwen was puzzled. Although the skills taught in martial arts schools were not fake, they weren’t that impressive, right?

She had visited a few martial arts schools and seen that what they taught was not at the same level as what her dad taught her.

“Of course it’s to learn more things. The two masters at this martial arts school, one teaches fist techniques and the other teaches leg techniques. If you learn them, you can combine them with your claw techniques.” The Guidance Director said to his daughter.

“Fist techniques and leg techniques? How do they compare to yours, Dad?” Wenwen became slightly interested, but she was more curious about how they compared to what her dad taught her. If they were just ordinary stuff, she didn’t want to learn them.

“Of course they can’t compare. Have you ever seen a martial arts school teaching truly core techniques? They teach basic fist techniques and basic leg techniques.” The Guidance Director said.

“Just basic fist and leg techniques? What’s the point? I’m not going.” Wenwen curled her lips, she looked down on basic techniques.

Going there would just be a waste of her time, it would be better to practice more with her dad.

“Of course there’s a point. Although they are basic fist and leg techniques, they are still very different from what ordinary martial arts schools teach. They can help you stabilize your lower body and improve your martial arts.”

The Guidance Director looked at his daughter who was crossing her legs and said: “Most importantly, they are both stronger than me. It would definitely be beneficial for you to learn from them.”

Although he had taken the Evolution Potion and practiced martial arts, his age was still a factor. He definitely couldn’t compare to two young people. It would be better for his daughter to learn from them than from him.

“Oh? They are even stronger than you, Dad?” Wenwen, who was initially uninterested, suddenly became excited.

In her mind, her dad was already very strong, at least capable of easily defeating a boxing champion.

But even so, her dad said that those two were stronger than him?
