Little Family Treasure of the Apocalyptic Boss - Ch 50

Chapter 50: Abilities

Regarding the bringing back of a big horned deer on a trip, Ye Ze glanced at the groundhog and big penguin that came to the door voluntarily, indicating that he already had quite a bit of experience in dealing with them.

“I don’t know its habits and preferences yet, so let’s just order a nest like Grey and Big Black’s for now. We can change it later.”

Not sensing any malice from these strange creatures, Ye Ze was quite tolerant of them for the sake of the little snake sub-beast.

“The deer is very big, so Ye Zi also needs to order a bigger nest!” The little snake sub-beast hurriedly reminded him, earning a playful look from Ye Ze, “Is your Ye Zi that foolish? Wouldn’t he order based on size?”

The little snake sub-beast formed an embarrassed but obedient smile. Extending their hand, he hooked his finger around Ye Ze’s, shaking it in an attempt to please him.

So, who was this fake-beastman who was exceptionally close to the cub?

With the big horned deer carrying the little snake sub-beast, its gaze fell upon the two feigning world spirits with a piercing stare.

The groundhog and big penguin, shoulder to shoulder, huddled closely together. One looked up, the other down, both feeling extremely guilty.

Just… like you’re seeing right now.

It saw that? It saw what? It saw its precious cub, whom it had been longing to pamper for so long, being taken home by someone else!

What else could it possibly see?!

If it weren’t for the little snake sub-beast being nearby, the big horned deer would have felt the urge to stamp its hooves in frustration and kick these two useless creatures.

You’re just standing there watching our precious one being taken away, and you didn’t do anything, still thinking about eating, drinking, and having fun all day long!

Because the food at his home was so enticing, no, no, it couldn’t be blamed on them if the cub was already taken when they arrived!

The groundhog and big penguin united in solemn protest.

…Just wait to be scolded by the boss, you two!

The big horned deer rolled its eyes in exasperation.

Taking a few steps forward, it forcefully inserted itself between the little snake sub-beast and Ye Ze. Softly, it cozied up to the little snake sub-beast. “Moo~.”

Ye Ze raised an eyebrow.

This one seemed a little different from the other two.

“Don’t worry, don’t worry. Everyone in the courtyard is very nice and will take good care of you.” The little snake sub-beast touched the big horned deer’s beautiful antlers, feeling a comfortable mix of hardness and softness on top. Unable to resist, he touched it again, looking at the smooth pointed ends with a puzzled expression.

Huh? Was it their imagination? He felt like he saw a few small leaves on the deer’s antlers before.

The little snake sub-beast tilted his head, examining from side to side, fingers twirling around the rounded tip of the antlers. They discovered that each antler tip was smooth and natural, without a single injury, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness it wasn’t injured!

“To welcome the deer, let’s have a feast tonight!” The little snake sub-beast thought of the fresh ingredients they had just brought in and clapped his hands happily, making a decision.

The small floral pattern fluttering behind them swayed from side to side, emitting a fragrance of happiness and sweetness.

The tension that had been building up for a long time suddenly eased.

The cub was now living happily, so they were happy too.

“Moo.” The big horned deer lowered its head shyly. Taking a step forward, it approached the little snake sub-beast once again. It leaned in, expressing trust.

If it weren’t for the short tail with a flickering residual image, they would have believed this portrayal of the gentle and timid deer!

The groundhog and big penguin gritted their teeth secretly. Stepping forward together, they nudged the little snake sub-beast’s tail in a coquettish manner, indicating that they also wanted kisses and hugs from the cub. Ideally, they wanted to be lifted up high.

Ye Ze warned the big penguin with a weighty glance.

But the big penguin decisively ignored it.

As a world spirit, it could make itself lighter!

It absolutely wouldn’t tire the little snake sub-beast out!

The soft and ticklish sensation on the tail made the little snake sub-beast couldn’t help but giggle. He bent down, patting the heads of the two small creatures. And not forgetting to show equal attention, he tapped the forehead of the big penguin with his fingertips.

“Nuo Nuo, what about me?”

But he forgot there was still one clingy and irreplaceable big dog.

The little snake sub-beast was embraced entirely in his arms. Even though they had been close many times before, his cheeks still blushed uncontrollably. Tilting his head back, he kissed Ye Ze’s cheek as he leaned in.

The motion of tilting back elongated their fair neck. Ye Ze’s gaze deepened, seizing the opportunity to steal a scent from the little snake sub-beast’s neck after the kiss, satisfying himself with a treatment far superior to that of bystanders.

The big horned deer, new to the scene, watched the intimate actions of the two without reservation, its hooves and antlers itching to join in.

The fake-beastman treated the cub very well, very thoughtfully.

However, this was its treasure, once lost and now found. It was quite angry about it!

And so, the daily outing group gained another member.

A shy and handsome big horned deer!

It also captured the admiration and protection of the sub-beastmen and females, becoming the new favorite of the small animal team.

But it wanted to tempt the little snake sub-beast: “…”

No. No way. Can you guys not come over here?!

“Does Deer Deer not like playing with everyone?” The little snake sub-beast keenly sensed the deer’s depression among the crowd, leading the constantly retreating deer out and affectionately feeding it a sweet melon.

“Moo.” Not exactly. But it felt more like reuniting with the little snake sub-beast after being apart for years.

After accepting the treat, the big horned deer licked its lips contentedly. It gently rubbed the little snake sub-beast’s cheek with its beloved antlers.

“Alright. If Deer Deer is embarrassed, let’s go somewhere else to play.” The little snake sub-beast smiled and leaned back. He held the soft and gentle antlers in his hands, comforting it with a gentle squeeze.

The next day, the little snake sub-beast declined the invitations from the sub-beastmen and females, leading the cattle, sheep, and five small animals to head to the farm outside the city.

Knowing that the little snake sub-beast wasn’t wandering around today, Ye Ze seized the opportunity to squeeze into the queue, claiming it was to inspect the farm’s condition with the little snake sub-beast and once again blatantly shirking his duties.

The corner of Cang Jiao’s eyes shed bitter tears of a single dog and a weary office worker, watching the boss go out to play with their partner. Turning around, he threw himself into increasingly busy work.

“After the farm is built, Nuo Nuo is still coming to see it for the first time.” So irresponsible!

The little snake sub-beast calculated the time carefully, and a lightning bolt flashed behind them. The hair on their head, already soft and droopy, wilted even more, and their golden beans began to flicker with guilt.

Ye Ze also didn’t come, but in the little snake sub-beast’s mind, he was often present. He awkwardly chuckled and rubbed the little snake sub-beast’s head. “It’s okay, Nuo Nuo. Think about it, we spent so much money hiring and training farm workers just to share the burden of farm work. If you come often, we won’t need them anymore. Isn’t that right, Nuo Nuo?”

The three world spirits all cast disdainful glances at Ye Ze simultaneously: Don’t think you can fool the little cub by pretending to be serious. We see right through you trying to trick the little one!

However, no matter what Ye Ze did, he always appeared as a glorious and towering figure in the little snake sub-beast’s mind. Without doubt, the little snake sub-beast carefully pondered Ye Ze’s business teachings, nodding solemnly in both sorrow and acceptance.

Hmm. Nuo Nuo doesn’t have the legendary □□ technique and can’t help Ye Zi solve every problem everywhere.

So, little beast god stones, your departure is well deserved! qaq

Ye Ze was amused by the little money lover’s sadness. Looking at the vibrant fields on both sides of the road, he smiled and praised, “The workers are very diligent, and Nuo Nuo is also great. Every day during grazing, I can see the state of the fields on the roadside. If anything is amiss, Nuo Nuo will remind me first. So, I can be very reassured to focus on other things.”

Ye Zi’s kind praise was always like a tonic that could invigorate the spirits of the little snake sub-beast.

The little snake sub-beast suddenly became spirited and decided that in the future, he would carefully observe the condition of the fields he passed during grazing.

Ye Ze chuckled again. He fed the little snake sub-beast a piece of candy, then received special attention from the four small animals.

They had their eyes stuck in the back of his hands.

Ye Ze’s mouth twitched. Taking advantage of the fact that the little snake sub-beast hadn’t been attracted by their hungry and eager eyes yet, he distributed treats to each animal. Even the big horned deer, who was diligently following the little snake sub-beast, was stuffed with a mouthful of rich milk flavor.

The taste was indeed quite good.

The big horned deer smacked its lips and looked down at the four gluttonous creatures at its feet, feeling a headache from their antics.

“The crops here are being well taken care of. Before long, the first batch of crops should be ready for harvest.” Ye Ze and the little snake sub-beast walked shoulder to shoulder along the field path, observing and using their abilities to detect, while Ye Ze briefed the little snake sub-beast on the situation.

By then, the yield of the crops would be truly confirmed, and the scale of the entire farm would expand again. It would also be possible to introduce more varieties under the right conditions.

The system simulator had already formulated the subsequent ecological development plan. Seeing that expansion was on track as planned.

Thinking about this, Ye Ze couldn’t help but show a hint of satisfaction.

“We’re done looking outside. Let’s have Little One and Little Two take care of the cattle and sheep. We’ll go to Nuo Nuo’s greenhouse shed and see if Nuo Nuo’s favorite berries are ripe.” Ye Ze tapped the tip of the little snake sub-beast’s nose. As they approached the greenhouse shed, his psychic tendrils accurately locked onto the location of the strawberry patch.

A dose of “strong medicine” was administered, and the strawberry seedlings, which had just begun to bud, quickly went through the process of flowering, pollination, and fruiting. The nursery bed below was adorned with ripe and plump strawberries.

The pupils of the big horned deer suddenly contracted, and it casually turned its head to glance at Ye Ze.

Wood element energy.

Although not of the same origin, it was quite pure and powerful.

This outsider was even more mysterious than it had imagined.

“Wow! It’s really bearing fruit!” The little snake sub-beast stood at the entrance of the strawberry garden, looking at the abundant large strawberries, his eyes sparkling.

“Ye Zi, how about making strawberry desserts tonight? Extract fresh strawberry juice, make sweet and sour strawberry sauce, and then there’s strawberry mille-feuille, strawberry pie, strawberry…” The little snake sub-beast kept rambling about strawberries, and Ye Ze’s ears were filled with nothing but “strawberries.”

Ye Ze helplessly and amusingly pinched the little snake sub-beast’s cheeks, handing him a clean little basket. “Go ahead. You can start by picking the ones Nuo Nuo likes and eating them.”

“Squeak squeak squeak!”

“Ah!”

The groundhog and the great penguin were unwilling to be outdone, expressing their desire to eat the freshly grown strawberries produced by the abilities.

It’s unclear how this fake-beastman handles things. In any case, any ingredients that pass through this guy’s hands will become exceptionally delicious and filled with a pure and tasty energy.

They also really liked it!

The primary wood spirit, the big horned deer, strongly felt offended!

“Moo~.”

The big horned deer stepped forward, gently biting the hem of the little snake sub-beast’s clothes and pulling him aside.

The little snake sub-beast, who was bending over to pick strawberries, looked up in confusion and followed the force of the big horned deer to walk outside. “What’s wrong, deer deer? Do you want to eat something else? It’s okay, after we finish picking strawberries, we’ll go get it for you…”

The little snake sub-beast’s voice suddenly cut off.

In front of him, the entire greenhouse shed’s crops all entered the mature stage in an instant.
