Little Family Treasure of the Apocalyptic Boss - Ch 71

Chapter 71 Invitation

On the tenth day of taking sick leave, the little snake sub-beast learned to walk under the expectant expressions of Ye Ze and An Jue.

Although he was still not used to walking quickly and hopping around, normal activities were completely fine now!

Successfully completing the assessment of going out, the little snake sub-beast cheered and threw himself into Ye Ze’s arms. Like a koala, he begged, “Go to school! Go to school! Nuo Nuo hasn’t been to school for a long time, and the notes brought by Jiang Yue are almost unrecognizable! Nuo Nuo doesn’t want to repeat a grade!”

“It’s only been a few days, and you’re already worried about repeating a grade.” Ye Ze held the little snake sub-beast to prevent him from falling, taking a step back to ease the momentum. He chuckled and patted the little snake sub-beast’s back, “Besides, there’s no such thing as repeating a grade here. Don’t use such words randomly next time you watch TV.”

The little snake sub-beast hugged him tighter, rubbing against Ye Ze’s neck. He hummed and whined.

“You, ah.” Ye Ze rubbed the back of the little snake sub-beast’s head, looking helpless.

He originally planned to let the little snake sub-beast rest for a few more days and observe his physical condition.

But who could resist the snake’s coquetry?

“It’s almost time to go out. After staying at home for so long, it’s good to go out and relax.”

The former staunch advocate of resting before An Jue, however, switched sides even faster than Ye Ze. He immediately supported the little snake sub-beast, expressionless and serious.

As if he was not the one who had agreed to Ye Ze’s arrangements in the first place.

“Uncle Jue, thumbs up!” The little snake sub-beast raised his head and gave An Jue a thumbs up.

Ye Ze sighed and tapped his head. As expected, it was another compromise, “Okay, okay, I’ll send Nuo Nuo to school tomorrow. Tonight, I’ll reset the route and pick up Jiang Yue. She has been taking good care of Nuo Nuo lately, so we should thank her properly.”

Jiang Yue is the daughter of the city lord and the little snake sub-beast’s classmate.

Originally, they were just acquaintances, but during the little snake sub-beast’s sick leave, due to various factors such as personality and family influence, Jiang Yue interacted more with the little snake sub-beast and became good friends.

“I knew Ye Ze is the best!” The little snake sub-beast instantly abandoned his previous supporter and turned back to hug Ye Ze, planting a big kiss on his face.

Ye Ze chuckled and lifted the koala-like little snake sub-beast, taking steps back, “Today’s training ends here. Let’s go home for dinner.”

“Okay!” With his wish granted, the little snake sub-beast obediently agreed and waved to An Jue, “Uncle, come with us too!”

“Yeah, I’m here.” An Jue smiled, his expression becoming more natural.

The returning little snake sub-beast was warmly welcomed at the academy.

When the crowd dispersed, gifts of all sizes piled up like a small mountain on the table.

Ming Ya and Ling Jue “escorted” him to the classroom, not leaving until ten minutes before the start of class, out of concern.

Seeing this protective scene, Jiang Yue couldn’t help but smile, but she didn’t realize that in the eyes of others, she wasn’t necessarily any better than the two.

After helping the little snake sub-beast tidy up the gifts, Jiang Yue handed him the list. Seeing the faint blush on his cheeks, still not calming down from everyone’s warmth, she smiled.

“Everyone likes Nuo Nuo very much, so Nuo Nuo must take care of himself in the future. Otherwise, everyone will worry.”

Jiang Yue placed her gift box on the little snake sub-beast’s desk. Looking around at the conspicuously dominant gift box, she returned to her seat feeling pleased.

There were signs of a rebirth of the little snake sub-beast’s popularity.

After all, the little snake sub-beast hadn’t had the chance to experience the care and concern of relatives and friends before.

“Th-thank you.” The little snake sub-beast clumsily expressed his gratitude. His soft voice was like a cupid’s arrow, piercing the hearts of the surrounding boys and girls.

So cute.

If they were beastmen, they would want to bring the little snake sub-beast home too!

The sub-beasts and females covered their pounding hearts, feeling blissful.

“Ye Zi.”

Back home, the little snake sub-beast and Ye Ze sat on the terrace after dinner. Suddenly, the little snake sub-beast reached out and held Ye Ze’s hand, gently shaking it.

Ye Ze looked down at him and asked gently, “What’s wrong?”

“Can… can I host a party at home on the weekend rest day?” The little snake sub-beast still felt a bit shy.

“Of course you can. This is Nuo Nuo’s home, so whatever Nuo Nuo wants to do is naturally fine.” Ye Ze smiled even more brightly at the little snake sub-beast’s request, which was much bolder and proactive than before.

This shows that he has raised the little snake sub-beast very successfully, doesn’t it?

Ye Ze wrapped his arm around the little snake sub-beast and pulled him into his arms. With their faces close together, he asked, “What kind of party does Nuo Nuo want? I’m happy to help prepare!”

“It will be at the farm.” The little snake sub-beast analyzed and explained to Ye Ze seriously, “Last time we came, Ming Ya and the others had a lot of fun. So I want to invite friends from the academy to play, and I also want to prepare some small gifts as a return gift.”

“But don’t worry, Ye Zi, everyone at the academy is super talented. They can also help promote the farm’s self-picking activities afterwards, so Ye Zi won’t lose out!” The little snake sub-beast added confidently.

He wanted everyone to have a good time.

But he also knew that the expenses of a group entering the orchard would be much higher than usual gatherings. He couldn’t let Ye Zi suffer losses because of him.

So the little snake sub-beast thought about it and came up with a solution.

Ye Ze was almost overwhelmed by how cute the little snake sub-beast looked as he pondered for him. He leaned over and kissed the little snake sub-beast’s cheek, “Nuo Nuo, you don’t need to worry so much. Social expenses are common, and you don’t need to worry about me losing out or anything like that.”

As he said this, Ye Ze’s laughter reached his lips. But considering the little snake sub-beast’s thin face, Ye Ze forcibly restrained himself.

“Oh, speaking of which, Nuo Nuo just remembered. Didn’t Ye Ze ask Nuo Nuo before to consider Ming Ya and Ling Jue’s opinions? Ming Ya said that if we open a self-picking farm, they would be happy to buy our fruits and crops!”

The little snake sub-beast happily shared with Ye Ze. Then he tilted his head in distress and added, “But Ming Ya also mentioned some issues. Like the safety guarantee for the sub-beast and females entering and leaving the city. Maybe we need to think of a solution?”

“We, Nuo Nuo, are becoming more and more capable.”

Ye Ze was slightly surprised by the various ideas the little snake sub-beast had today, and he didn’t hesitate to praise him. He blew up the little snake sub-beast’s self-esteem before explaining, “Actually, we can leave this to the younger ones. The first batch of cows and sheep can also join in. It may become a major feature in the future.”

The two big geese recently let the little snake sub-beast’s cows and sheep roam freely around the farm. They were so happy all day long that even the little snake sub-beast rarely saw them.

Now, hearing Ye Ze mention it, the little snake sub-beast puffed up his cheeks and poked the goose plushie, saying: He said he likes Nuo Nuo the most, but when he meets the shepherd, he forgets about him. It must be because he gave you too much freedom. ╭(╯^╰)╮ Then he looked at Ye Ze with a puzzled expression, wondering why the cows and sheep could join.

“Forgetful Nuo Nuo, don’t forget, the little pets and the cows and sheep also have great abilities. They are completely enough as security guards, and if the numbers are insufficient, they can be supplemented. It’s very convenient.”

Of course, just relying on these would not be enough.

Even if it was for the safety of his own home, he had to set up additional protective systems.

Then there was the City Lord’s Mansion.

The City Lord needed to come forward and acknowledge that this was a project in cooperation with the Dragon Clan and Dragon Palace City, and establish an official security team on the surface.

These guards didn’t necessarily have to be very strong, but they would exist as the “official” reputation.

With this, it would be much more useful than promoting their own bodyguard capabilities.

The little snake sub-beast listened to this complex relationship network, and his eyes were about to turn into mosquito coils. But he still clenched his little fists and tried hard to understand.

He, too, was a sub-beast who had his own career. He couldn’t be clueless about everything!

Ye Ze chuckled lightly and patiently sorted out every little detail for him. He glanced at the round moon hanging outside the window, hugged the little snake sub-beast, and left the terrace, “If you can’t figure it out, you can think about it slowly later. You have to go to school tomorrow, so it’s time to sleep.”

“But I haven’t finished my dish research today—”

“Sleep.”

Start.

The little snake sub-beast obediently fell silent. Nestled in Ye Ze’s arms, he entered the bathroom.

On such “principle” issues, he never won against Ye Ze.

The little snake sub-beast knew it all too well.

Ye Ze successfully led the little snake sub-beast into the bathroom. He filled the tub with water for the little snake sub-beast, handed him a new toy doll, and dispersed the white bubbles surrounding the little snake sub-beast. This immediately diverted the little snake sub-beast’s attention.

With the little snake sub-beast playing with a rubber duck in the bathtub, Ye Ze went to the adjacent shower room, took a quick shower, put on his pajamas, and walked out, sitting on the nearby armchair.

“Nuo Nuo, don’t stay up too late, okay?” Ye Ze picked up the book on the round table and flipped to the bookmark page, reminding the little snake sub-beast, who was playing obliviously in the bathtub.

“Quack!”

The little snake sub-beast pounced on one of the rubber ducks, splashing a few bubbles on the water surface. He popped his head out of the tub, blinked his eyes, and glanced at the clock on the wall.

It was ten forty-five.

He had to go to bed before eleven o’clock.

Oh. He only had fifteen minutes to play today. qaq

The little snake sub-beast hugged the rubber duck and swam to the edge of the pool in front of Ye Ze. Squeezing the duck twice, he attracted Ye Ze’s attention. Looking up at him with hopeful eyes, he tried to gain some benefits for himself with his big eyes.

“No.” Ye Ze decisively refused, feeling both amused and exasperated. He poked the little snake sub-beast’s forehead with the tip of a vine, admonishing, “Nuo Nuo is still in the awakening period, so not only do you need to rest well, but you also need to eat well. Tomorrow, you can’t pick out the premium meat for me again, understand?”

Ah. Caught by Ye Zi.

The little snake sub-beast, who wanted to stuff all the good stuff into Ye Ze’s bowl, lowered his hands to the floor and shrunk down in guilt. Only a pair of watery eyes were visible outside the pool, drooping down sadly, “Oh.”

Ye Ze sighed, “You can play for five more minutes.”

“Oh, okay!” The wilted little cabbage reacted belatedly, instantly revitalized. The entire background lit up with twinkling stars as he patted his chest and assured Ye Ze, then happily rushed back into the bathtub.

Ducky, ducky, ducky, he’s back again!

Ye Ze, who was left behind in an instant, sighed and chuckled. He had intended to relax his legs and lean back against the chair, crossing them to support the book.

Unfortunately, after a moment of distraction just now, the master’s attention never returned to it.
