Little Family Treasure of the Apocalyptic Boss - Ch 44

Chapter 44: Grand Opening

The day of the inauguration ceremony had excellent weather.

The thick snow from the previous days had melted away, and the warm sun shone brightly in the sky.

The little snake sub-beast woke up early, gently pulling back the covers.

He needed to get up to prepare Ye Ze’s outfit for today.

On such an important day, Ye Ze had to look handsome!

The little snake sub-beast curled his tail and moved toward the edge of the bed. Just as he was about to touch the ground, a hand suddenly reached out from behind the covers and wrapped around his waist.

“Nuo Nuo, it’s still early. Let’s sleep a bit more,” Ye Ze said with half-closed eyes, lying in bed. He looked like he hadn’t fully woken up yet, but his arm was firmly holding onto the little snake sub-beast.

After several unsuccessful attempts to break free, the little snake sub-beast finally realized that the mischievous Ye Ze was teasing him again. He turned around immediately, trying to use a condemning look to teach him a lesson.

“Ye Zi, wake up! We can’t be late for today’s ceremony!” the little snake sub-beast said with determination, pressing against him to push him out of bed.

“Tsk.” Ye Ze clicked his tongue lightly.

He had to listen to the little snake sub-beast’s arrangements.

Otherwise, what if he made the little snake sub-beast cry again?

Ye Ze let go of his arm and sat up, running his hand through his hair in frustration. He silently made a note of the innocent yet dedicated little guy.

Then, like a hungry dog begging for food, he leaned forward and cuddled up to the little snake sub-beast. “I’ve done what Nuo Nuo asked for. What reward will Nuo Nuo give me?”

Getting up on time during work hours was supposed to be normal, right? Why was there talk of a reward?

The little snake sub-beast, feeling surprisingly “straight,” was full of confusion.

After staring at Ye Ze’s expectant expression for a while and thinking about his current situation of being pinned down and unable to move, he suddenly had a realization.

“O-Only once, okay?” The little snake sub-beast tried to look serious, hoping to make Ye Ze understand that slacking off at work was not acceptable. He couldn’t cling to him and be spoiled like before.

But in Ye Ze’s eyes, the red cheeks only made the little snake sub-beast even more adorable.

Satisfied with the morning kiss, Ye Ze got up contentedly. He and the little snake sub-beast washed up and got dressed together. When they appeared in the hall in their fine clothes, they were surprisingly an hour earlier than the scheduled departure time.

Cang Jiao, seeing his usually troublesome boss so easy to handle, almost burst into tears of joy. He was afraid that Ye Ze might suddenly act stubborn and say he wanted to go back to bed. He quickly stepped forward to introduce the specifics of the ceremony to the two of them.

It turned out that so many people were coming to attend Ye Ze’s grand opening.

As the little snake sub-beast listened to the various familiar and unfamiliar titles, his eyes blinked with admiration, sparkling with admiration.

The little snake sub-beast’s attention was the best satisfaction.

Ye Ze’s vanity, hidden so deeply that it was almost nonexistent in the eyes of others, suddenly emerged and filled the room with an overwhelming presence.

– 200% Effectiveness

Ye Ze raised his hand and gently ran it through the little snake sub-beast’s hair. He tidied up the tousled hair blown by the wind, his smile radiant.

Beast carriages streamed towards the outskirts of the city, creating a rare bustling scene in the cold winter.

Residents who had been hibernating in the warmth of their homes also braved the chilly wind and stepped out of their houses. They formed a crowd no less than during the prosperous trading period.

They were all going to witness an unprecedented opening ceremony.

The newly appointed king-level beastman was about to open a place called “Fields” outside the city. It was said that various delicious vegetables could be grown in the Fields, and even tasty fruits could be harvested.

Regardless of which project it was, for the savage residents who had no concept of fields or much knowledge of cultivation, it was all so novel and intriguing.

Even if it was just an unrealistic gimmick, it was enough to arouse the curiosity of the indigenous people to go and explore.

As for the chambers of commerce and various major forces invited, it was even simpler.

Some were investors in Ye Ze’s plan, wanting to witness the rise of a legendary figure firsthand; some were onlookers, hoping to decide their future actions based on this demonstration; and some, like the president of the Feihong merchant guild, were there specifically to see Ye Ze’s joke.

As the manager who had developed the Feihong merchant guild to its current state, he had once been a caravan leader who traveled far and wide. He considered himself not particularly knowledgeable or talented, but at his current position and age, he had seen enough things.

He knew about cultivating commodities, and he was very aware of the manpower and resources needed.

So far, those capable of cultivating land were either resource-rich cities with numerous priests or special gathering places where they could take advantage of the right timing and conditions to develop the best cultivation methods of the era.

Thinking that Ye Ze could just find a place to clear and cultivate the land and harvest a large amount of goods was not just because he remembered the loss he suffered at Ye Ze’s hands, but because it was truly too far-fetched!

After listening to the president’s analysis, the city lord remained silent for a moment. “Ye Ze, this person, always manages to do things that defy everyone’s expectations, seemingly without any logic, but still succeeds greatly. I’m afraid we can’t make such a conclusion yet.”

“Hmph. Luck can only strike once. Can it strike a second or third time?” The president sneered at this.

“That’s not necessarily true.” The city lord looked at his old friend and, after some thought, subtly advised, “Whether it’s the aftermath of Sheng Ming’s death or the barbecue shop managed by that sub-beastman, doesn’t that prove his extraordinary abilities? This isn’t just a matter of coincidence two or three times, nor is it a problem that can be solved by coincidence.”

Thinking of the experience of being used as examples by Ye Ze, the president’s face darkened slightly, but he still maintained a cold snort. “But those are just ‘ordinary matters.’ It’s different now.”

The city lord picked up his tea and took a sip, choosing not to speak further.

Beast carriages drove over the temporarily constructed flat dirt road. The receptionists arranged by Cang Jiao guided them to park in the equally newly opened vast parking lot, neatly lined up along the straight white lines on the ground.

The city lord and the president stepped down from the beast carriages and, upon seeing the peculiar high platform erected in the center of the square, were speechless.

Ye Ze.

Truly a beastman who is constantly creating unimaginable things.

The two walked through the bustling crowd of city residents and approached the reserved seats at the forefront.

The moment they entered the viewing area, it was as if they had crossed an invisible barrier. Outside was the fierce winter wind, while inside was as mild as a sunny spring day.

The expressions of the two leaders changed, becoming even more solemn.

No wonder the standing residents not only did not feel impatient but were instead filled with curiosity about the situation here.

The reason turned out to be here!

Who knows how much resources were required for this reversal formation, all for the sake of an opening ceremony.

Ye Ze’s ambitiousness was revealed!

—As if Ye Ze was afraid of the little snake sub-beast getting cold and had picked up a transparent warming cover from the mall.

Sure, it was expensive, but to talk about consuming large amounts of resources was a joke.

Ye Ze took the guest list handed over by Cang Jiao.

A 100% attendance rate. And most of those who came were the current leaders of various factions.

It could be said to be a great honor that even the city lord wouldn’t have.

Ye Ze nodded secretly and handed the list to Cang Jiao. “You can start.”

“Yes.” Cang Jiao took the list, feeling excited inside.

Only he knew that after today, a sensational wave would sweep through Little Dragon City!

Cang Jiao took a deep breath, took the microphone, and walked onto the erected platform.

“Welcome, everyone, to the public ceremony of the Ye Mansion’s Fields project.”

“Ah! What’s that? Did that beastman not use beast power? Why can his voice still be heard so far away?”

“So clear. It feels like it’s ringing right in my ears.”

“It’s not a sound amplification stone. A sound amplification stone can’t cover such a large area.”

“The sound is too real. Is he using a new type of sound amplification stone?”

Cang Jiao’s voice echoed in every corner of the vast venue, instantly causing bursts of exclamations from the crowd.

Even the nobles and merchants in the VIP seats showed curious looks.

Cang Jiao’s mouth twitched slightly as he tried hard not to show too much excitement. After delivering the welcoming speech, he handed over the stage to the real master here.

“Ye Zi, go for it!” The little snake sub-beast clenched his fists and cheered for Ye Ze. Judging by his posture, it seemed like he wanted to bring a big flag to cheer for Ye Ze.

Ye Ze chuckled and regardless of their current position, which was visible to even the most keen-eyed cultivators, he bent down and kissed the little snake sub-beast on the forehead.

“I got it.” Ye Ze smiled in response. “You stay here and wait for me.” Wait for me to empty the purses of these people, “I’ll be right back.” I’ll bring back delicious food, fun things, new clothes, and new ingredients for you.

The merchants in the VIP seats felt a chill down their spines and subconsciously touched their wallets.

They couldn’t help but feel a strange, ominous premonition.

Even though they had come today to make money.

“So envious.”

While the eyes of the beastmen were fixed on Ye Ze, nervously awaiting the announcement of the follow-up content, what the sub-beastmen and females saw was another aspect of the situation.

Ming Ya couldn’t help but express his admiration once again.

However, this time, his sentiment was met with Ling Jue’s agreement.

“In such an important occasion, the only thing one cares about is still their own partner. I can’t help but feel jealous.”

Ling Jue raised her gaze and looked around. Sure enough, she saw a sea of admiring looks.

Unparalleled strength.

Yet, so tender and considerate.

How could such a beastman not make people’s hearts flutter?

The little snake sub-beast had no idea that he had become the object of envy for all the sub-beastmen in the city.

Being kissed by Ye Ze in public, the little snake sub-beast’s already shy mind was completely overloaded.

Um. How could this person be like this?

So embarrassing!

The little snake sub-beast blushed with embarrassment. But his heart, like another part of his body, was filled with joy, overflowing with inexhaustible vitality, crazily beating.

“Alright, I’ve received Nuo Nuo’s encouragement.” Ye Ze pinched the little snake sub-beast’s cheek. Twisting the act of teasing into a proactive kiss. Feeding the little snake sub-beast a sweet candy, he stepped onto the stage.

The spotlight shone on him.

Every move drew the attention of the crowd.

A young beastman with unlimited potential.

An existence that seemed unreachable for an ordinary sub-beastman like himself.

Yet, there was always a resilient and clear red thread firmly tied to him, winding towards himself.

This was Nuo Nuo’s Ye Zi.

The little snake sub-beast lowered his head slightly, burying most of his face in the fluffy and soft fur scarf, his mouth curving up in happiness.

After today’s ceremony, let’s go home and have dinner together.

Just the two of them.
