Chapter 985: Chapter 985

"This time don't bring any dubious cats to the clinic."

As soon as he exited the clinic, the Sphinx glared at him.

"Huh? The cat of The Fool is quite nice, why is it dubious?"

Liu Zheng was puzzled.

"It wants to mate with me, didn't you notice?"

The Sphinx was even angrier.

"Uh... fine, I just won't meet it in the clinic anymore."

Though he still hadn't figured out what happened, he instinctively replied.

The Sphinx's expression slightly softened, extending a paw.

Liu Zheng quickly pulled out a handful of dried fish. Discover more novels at N0v3l.Fiɾe.net

The Sphinx grabbed the dried fish and stuffed it into its mouth, then turned its back on him.

"The Fool fancies Ando, the doctor fancies The Fool, it's quite interesting."

He shook his head and turned to get in the sports car.

He floored the accelerator and Liu Zheng quickly returned to the restaurant.

Upon entering the break room, Niu Ma wasn't there, must have gone to deliver takeouts.

He sat on the pile of straw with a lewd grin.

The next second, he jumped up clutching his butt.

Liu Zheng looked at his butt, there was a large mousetrap clamped on it, distorting his gluteus maximus.

He got rid of the mousetrap, then cautiously probed with the rusted knife.

As expected, the straw pile was full of mousetraps, as many as thirteen, ensuring he'd get caught no matter where he sat.

"How old is Niu Ma, still playing such pranks."

Seeing the line of mousetraps clipped on the rusted knife, Liu Zheng was speechless.

"If you don't want me to sit, fine, then I'll give the wine to Ghost Hand this time, if you want to drink, wait for it! Hmph!"

He gestured a middle tentacle at the straw pile, then called Weaving Spider Lady.

Weaving Spider Lady hummed a cheerful tune as she crawled out of the shadows.

Although she still kept her eyes closed, her demeanor had greatly improved compared to her previous on-guard posture.

"Here, this is the insect combo I brought you from the White Bird Club."

Liu Zheng took out boxes one by one from the Headless Mandarin Duck Pouch.

Weaving Spider Lady let out a delighted sound, but soon became troubled.

With so many boxes, it would take a long time to transport them all.

"I'm about to head out, and my boss is out delivering as well. No one's in the break room, so why don't you eat here, just remember to clean up."

Weaving Spider Lady thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"Oh, here's the spirit line you wanted. Work overtime and help mend the cloak; I'm going to need it soon."

He handed her the spirit line along with the shabby Phoenix Cloak.

Facing two upcoming battles, one involving explosions and another against a bird enemy, the effects of the Phoenix Cloak were perfectly suited.

Weaving Spider Lady raised her forelimbs in a shrugging gesture, indicating it was impossible to be that fast.

"Do it as fast as you can. Call me when it's done, and I'll come pick it up."

This time, Weaving Spider Lady nodded in agreement, then pointed to the break room door.

"You really are heartless."

He vigorously ruffled Weaving Spider Lady's furry head.

To be honest, it felt quite nice.

Weaving Spider Lady raised her forelimbs, protesting strongly against his sudden and ungentlemanly attack.

"As they say, you can't easily refuse someone who's fed or paid you. How do you plan to fight me now?"

Liu Zheng said arrogantly.

As the saying goes, cooks don't steal, nor tailors; it's the same principle.

He didn't believe that each time clothes required so much spirit line, Weaving Spider Lady surely kept a lot for herself too.

Weaving Spider Lady looked aside guiltily.

Liu Zheng left the break room with his head held high.

"Oh right, I forgot to call President Yuan."

Leaving the restaurant, he smacked his forehead.

Although Lao Si should have reported everything to Yuan Baoer, out of courtesy, he should make a call too.

If you don't value others, they won't value you either.

"President Yuan, sorry for troubling Lao Si and Brother Bai San both ending up heavily injured, and we didn't manage to sweep Great Jiang Mountain either."

Getting through on the call, Liu Zheng started by apologizing.

"Not at all, Lao Si told me about everything. Given the circumstances, it's already great you all returned alive."

"Besides, the demons at Great Jiang Mountain can run but the temple can't move. If not this time, then next time."

Yuan Baoer said warmly.

"Thank you, President Yuan, for understanding. Don't worry, we'll definitely clean up Great Jiang Mountain, and I'll definitely heal Lao Si and Brother Bai San."

"We're all one family, so there's no need to speak like an outsider. I heard from Lao Si that you've been busy since returning to the city, barely touching the ground. Is there anything I can help with?"

Yuan Baoer asked with concern.

This trip to the Ten Thousand Great Mountains was accompanied by Lao Si throughout, and Yuan Baoer had witnessed Liu Zheng's responsibility and capability.

Such a man, regardless of the future relationship, was worth investing in heavily.

Liu Zheng could tell, Yuan Baoer wasn't just being polite.

Since she genuinely wanted to help, he thought he should come up with something he needed help with.

"There is one thing, though I'm a bit embarrassed to ask."

Liu Zheng had a sudden idea.

"Go ahead, not asking would mean looking down on me."

Yuan Baoer said straightforwardly.

"Then I'll say it. President Yuan, could you lend me a hundred million?"

"... Mr. Liu, are you sure you want to borrow a hundred million from me and not give me a hundred million?"

After a few seconds of silence, Yuan Baoer said.

"Of course I want to borrow it from you. If I were to give you money, it wouldn't stop at a hundred million."
