Little Family Treasure of the Apocalyptic Boss - Ch 51

Chapter 51: Jealousy Arises

The big horned deer emitted a faint green light, shining in every corner of the greenhouse shed.

In an instant, the plants in the greenhouse shed seemed to have been fed some kind of special fertilizer, rapidly growing taller and bigger. In just the blink of an eye, they transformed into their current abundant state.

The little snake sub-beast was so shocked that their mouth formed an “o” shape.

There was indeed the powerful wood element ability user, Ye Ze, by the side of the little snake sub-beast, but Ye Ze always appeared calm in front of them.

This calmness was not just about his gentle personality or the restraint of his attacking power, but also included the concealment of his unique abilities like catalyzing vitality.

—Ye Ze always subtly pleased the little snake sub-beast with these things, rather than displaying them openly.

So, during the opening ceremony, the little snake sub-beast actually faced Ye Ze’s magical abilities for the first time, just like everyone else.

Now, seeing the lush scenery in an instant, it was no wonder the little snake sub-beast was astonished.

The little snake sub-beast stepped forward, looking at the blueberry tree with fruits hanging on it here, and then at the brightly red dragon fruit over there, enjoying an unprecedented joy of harvest.

“Deer deer, did you do all this? You’re amazing!”

The big horned deer looked at the little snake sub-beast, from their disbelief to their admiring starry-eyed look, proudly raised their chin, glanced at Ye Ze, and then in a moment of terrifying transformation, blinked its bright, shiny eyes, revealing a shy and embarrassed look, and nodded.

It received a big hug from the excited little snake sub-beast.

If he had known it would be like this, he could have done it too.

Why let a deer steal the limelight in front of the little snake sub-beast?

Ye Ze’s jealousy was overwhelming. It almost overshadowed the scent of fruit filling the entire courtyard.

“Probably some kind of wood attribute magical beast, so it can promote plant growth,” Ye Ze calmly peeled the little snake sub-beast off the big horned deer and analyzed with a smile, “However, having such a large-scale ability is still quite rare and powerful.”

Despite being praised, the big horned deer became instantly alert. Its gaze was fixed on Ye Ze, emitting a hint of sharpness.

Ye Ze ignored it with composure, hugging the little snake sub-beast to coax him. “By taking the initiative, it seems that the deer enjoys catalyzing plants. How about letting the deer roam around the farm for a few days recently, Nuo Nuo? If the wood element magical beast interacts with the plants, they might become even closer. Also, the harvest time for the farm could be advanced, benefiting families in the city with scarce resources.”

“Really?” The little snake sub-beast was convinced by Ye Ze’s logical speech. He pondered that even if deer deer didn’t like expending energy to promote plant growth, simply strolling around the farm for a few days wouldn’t hurt.

So, he agreed, “I’ll give it a try tomorrow. It’s just about finding a comfortable lifestyle for deer deer.”

The big horned deer: “!”

What nonsense are you, fake beastmen, talking about there?!

The groundhog and the big penguin, who had been watching the whole spectacle, almost burst into laughter.

Its well-calculated plan backfired!

“If you’re worried about the deer feeling lonely, you can let Grey and Big Black accompany it to play. After all, they’re good friends, and they would definitely be willing,” Ye Ze continued to suggest.

The little snake sub-beast showed a pensive expression, but eventually all traces of reluctance vanished. He nodded in approval, saying, “Hmm! Thank you, Ye Zi. Without your advice, I wouldn’t have thought of all this.”

If deer deer felt unhappy, it would be unfair to deer deer who willingly came to their home to play.

“No problem. After all, we’re partners,” Ye Ze gently tapped the little snake sub-beast’s nose.

The snake-shaped steamed bun has been making quite a comeback lately.

What a rapid and drastic turnaround.

The groundhog and the big penguin’s laughter froze.

The big horned deer looked down at them, silently mocking.

The groundhog & big penguin: “…”

Hey! You two! If you’re jealous, then be jealous, but can you not involve innocent bystanders!

The big horned deer, who had just mocked their two brothers, pitifully snuggled up to the little snake sub-beast the next moment. It leaned against the little snake sub-beast, their large figure showing great grievances.

“Moo.” Don’t leave behind this deer. It wants to be with Nuo Nuo.

The big horned deer’s eyes welled up with tears.

The little snake sub-beast felt very sorry for it.

“I’m not going to leave you behind,” the little snake sub-beast lifted the big horned deer’s cheeks and gently stroked them with his thumb.

Just as he was about to say more, Ye Ze took the opportunity to chime in, playing along, “Of course. Since Nuo Nuo likes you so much, how could he possibly abandon you? It’s just trying out a whole new way of life. What if you end up liking it?”

Impossible! No ifs, no dislikes!

The big horned deer narrowly concealed the sharpness in their eyes.

Ye Ze casually draped his arm over the little snake sub-beast’s shoulder, continuing to provoke, “Besides, don’t you still have Grey and Big Black to keep you company? Everything’s fine.”

Fine, my foot!

Don’t think it can’t see through your little schemes!

The big horned deer snuggled even closer to the little snake sub-beast.

Grey and Big Black, the sidekicks: “…”

Under the overt and covert scheming of the two cunning individuals, the ones who ended up suffering were unexpectedly the two obedient and sensible little ones.

They were so pitiful!

Because they were associated with both sides and were not like the grazing staff, the groundhog and the big penguin were tossed around like a ball, wishing they could scratch these two ungrateful creatures to death.

When coaxing the little snake sub-beast, they want their assistance; when they’re jealous, they still want their assistance.

You’re so capable, why are you creating a scene of jealousy here!

The result of this back and forth was that both the deer and the little snake sub-beast were left feeling dizzy. They had no idea whose advice to follow.

The big horned deer paused its act of pretending to be wronged. Looking at Ye Ze, who was also indicating a desire to cease hostilities, it felt it should display a magnanimity that the other party lacked to present a better image in front of the little snake sub-beast.

What’s the big deal about promoting some plants! Its specialty could solve it in an instant.

It was afraid that Ye Ze would use various excuses to divert its attention here.

In an instant, the big horned deer was filled with boundless confidence.

“Moo~”

The majestic big horn pushed Ye Ze away from the little snake sub-beast, resting its head on the little snake sub-beast’s shoulder, soothingly rubbing against them. Then, gently nudging the little snake sub-beast, it gestured for him to go pick the fruits he liked.

The little ones were so excited to go out and play.

It couldn’t mess it up for them.

The little snake sub-beast breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

Carrying the small basket, he happily headed towards the strawberry patch.

The unyielding conflict between Ye Ze and the big horned deer was really hard to mediate. It seemed that Nuo Nuo still had a lot to learn!

“Ye Zi knows so much,” the little snake sub-beast said in a low voice near Ye Ze’s ear, watching the big horned deer eating fruits with the groundhog and the big penguin in the distance. He whispered, “Although deer deer doesn’t say it, it actually enjoys playing with Grey and Big Black. By allowing deer deer to participate in farm activities, maybe it will really like the farm.”

Ye Ze raised an eyebrow in surprise, experiencing the joy of waiting for the hare at the tree trunk for the first time. He rewarded the little guy by patting their head.

The big horned deer, who had listened in on the entire conversation: “…”

The groundhog and the big penguin: [Struggling to hold back laughter]

“But, like Grey and Big Black, deer deer is also a regular guest in our home. It’s also a special member of our family. We can’t just ignore them completely, Ye Zi,” the little snake sub-beast guided with emphasis.

Unexpected remarks.

Ye Ze suppressed the urge to burst into laughter and nodded obediently, accepting the little snake sub-beast’s guidance.

“?” Although it was meant to be a compliment and a defense, the three spirits suddenly couldn’t muster a smile.
