CHAPTER 861: CHAPTER 577: YOU HUMANS REALLY ARE THE BIGGEST PERVERTS

"You’re finally back, kid. I thought you’d run off for good."

As soon as Niu Ma entered the break room, he shouted loudly.

"Boss, keep it down, the whole restaurant’s gonna hear you."

Liu Zheng replied, speechless.

"What, you dare do it but don’t dare let Niu Ma talk about it? Fine, I’ll shut up, just pay me hush money."

Niu Ma extended his hoof.

"Then just speak up, I’m not afraid of shadows when standing upright."

He said, holding his head high and sticking out his chest.

Although that money was originally meant for Niu Ma, it didn’t stop him from enjoying the sight of Niu Ma wanting it but unable to get it.

"Upright, my ass! Do you know how many deliveries I’ve done for you while you were fooling around outside?"

Niu Ma exclaimed excitedly.

"How many?"

"Exactly one!"

Niu Ma held up one hoof.

"...Putting aside that delivering food is originally your job, how do you even use the word ’many’ for just one order?"

Liu Zheng said speechlessly.

"What’s wrong with one order? Do you know who it was for?"

"Who? Don’t tell me it was the Peacock?"

He frowned but then relaxed.

If it was the Peacock, Niu Ma wouldn’t look so unscathed.

"No, but not much better than the Peacock. That order was for Longyang Jun."

Niu Ma said.

"Who’s Longyang Jun? Oh, I think I know."

Liu Zheng pondered.

The Warring States Strategy recorded that Longyang Jun was King Wei’s male favorite.

One day, just like King Wei went fishing, and after fishing for a while, he started crying.

King Wei was very puzzled and asked him what he was crying about?

Longyang Jun said, "My lord, at first I was happy to catch a big fish, but then I caught an even bigger fish and found the previous one annoying, just wanting to throw it away."

"Now that I have your favor, but sooner or later, someone more beautiful will serve you, and by then I’ll become like the fish to be thrown away."

Then King Wei surely said something like, "How could you think that, my dear?" and whatnot.

As for whether Longyang Jun ended up like that fish and was abandoned, there isn’t any historical record.

In short, he became one of the earliest representatives of male love, earning the idiom "Longyang’s good relationship."

"Wow, boss, you didn’t get..."

Liu Zheng looked at Niu Ma with eyes full of sympathy.

Although Longyang Jun surely looked quite good, and probably was a bottom, who says bottoms can’t force the top?

"Hmmph, as soon as he opened the door, he complimented my handsomeness, who doesn’t know that. Then he praised my horns, asking how I maintained them, wanting to get fakes like mine. Then he said I looked like I work out a lot and asked me to help him."

"As we talked, we sat down to eat, and as we ate, we started drinking. Luckily, I can hold my liquor well and reacted quickly, or else I’d have fallen for his tricks."

Niu Ma said with lingering fear.

"Well, he’s not that bad, at least he didn’t force it."

He chuckled.

"Hmmph! If he dared, I’d have stabbed him with my horn."

"Better not, what if he’s a masochist and deliberately gets impaled on your horn?"

Liu Zheng kindly reminded him.

"...Whoa, damn!"

Niu Ma was startled, then let out a cry of surprise.

"Only humans can be as perverted as you people."

Thinking of that scene, it couldn’t help shivering all over, then said through gritted teeth.

"I think humans are the conscience and moral line of the Metropolis."

Liu Zheng said with a squint.

The perversion in humans arises mainly from various desires and is inspired by the environment, while these non-humans act purely out of instinct, even as a matter of principle.

If not for humans being the majority in City Hall and subtly influencing the worldview of the Metropolis’s residents, who knows what kind of chaos the Metropolis would fall into.

"Can’t be bothered to discuss such a boring problem with you. Pay up."

Niu Ma extended his hoof again.

"Pay what?"

"Emotional damage fee."

Niu Ma said.

"You weren’t even caught by Longyang Jun."

"But I was hurt by his words and expressions. Pay up, or else next time with such orders, I’ll forcibly recall you."

Niu Ma threatened.

"What does ’forcible recall’ mean?"

"If a delivery person stays out too long after completing a delivery, as the department supervisor, I can initiate a forcible recall. If you’re not back within the specified time, I can punish the delivery person."

Niu Ma explained.

"Damn, why didn’t you tell me this before?"

Liu Zheng pouted.

"Hmmph, if you’re sensible, there’s no need to say it. If you’re not sensible, then there’s even less reason to tell."

Niu Ma said confidently.

"The Metropolis is still the Metropolis, huh."

He sighed as he took out money.

Every time he falls into a warm illusion of brotherly affection, Niu Ma promptly reminds him with practical actions that the Metropolis is still that place with an average population of beasts.

"And your boss will forever be your boss."

Niu Ma quickly snatched the cash and swallowed it, then said smugly.

"I’ve never denied that fact."

Liu Zheng smiled, then took out his phone to call the deputy director.

"Good morning, Mr. Liu."

The deputy director greeted warmly.

"Why are you calling me Mr. Liu now?"

"You’re now a shareholder of our company, so calling you Mr. Liu is quite appropriate."

The deputy director replied.

"Alright, fine. I need your help with something."

He wasn’t in the mood to fuss over titles.

"Please go ahead, Mr. Liu."

"Here’s the thing, there’s a senior’s granddaughter of mine who’s being bullied at school. As her uncle, I can’t just ignore it. But I don’t have connections in the school sector, so I’m hoping you can lend a hand."

Liu Zheng said.

"Which school does Mr. Liu’s niece attend?"
