Little Family Treasure of the Apocalyptic Boss - Ch 73
Chapter 73: The Farm
Lunch ended amidst cheerful conversations.
Even the pampered noble ladies couldn’t resist indulging in more food due to its temptation. Now, they were secretly rubbing their bellies, hoping to aid digestion.
At this point, it was unrealistic to ask them to go out to the farm to pick crops.
So, Ye Ze activated a holographic screen in the hall and treated the indigenous people of the wild world to an extraordinary and grandiose… cartoon movie.
Oh? Why a cartoon, you ask?
Of course, because the little snake sub-beast liked it!
The little snake sub-beast was accustomed to various dimensional technological products. Without Ye Ze having to explain much, he voluntarily took his VIP seat. Holding a fragrant popcorn, they watched with relish.
The guests guided to their seats by robots once again exclaimed in wonder, dazzled by the colorful world of the little snake sub-beast’s home. Immersed in the cute cartoon characters’ stories, they were still reluctant when the closing credits rolled.
“If you don’t mind, we can play the movie during tonight’s dinner,” Ye Ze suggested, handing a cup of iced cola to the little snake sub-beast and secretly slipping in a high-quality stomach-calming pill.
Eating too many snacks of various kinds was not okay.
Given that Ye Ze had proposed such a popular idea, the guests forgave him for showing affection for his partner anytime, anywhere.
They really loved those lively little animals.
Well, they were quite envious of the affection and favor the little snake sub-beast received.
They were unsure whether to envy Ye Ze for having such a cute little snake sub-beast or the little snake sub-beast for having such an omnipotent beastman.
“Next, please proceed to the farm for activities,” Ye Ze said with a slight smile, feeling like he had found another lucrative avenue.
Whether it was the cinema or the peripherals, the profit margin would be considerable in the primitive world where the entertainment industry had not fully developed.
The little snake sub-beast would probably be happy to be the big boss collecting ticket sales.
Ye Ze held the little snake sub-beast’s hand and walked to the front of the sightseeing car, taking a seat.
Behind them were four wagging tails, and beside them was a future father-in-law.
Ming Ya and Ling Jue tactfully didn’t squeeze into the front row. Because of the little snake sub-beast, they ended up sitting in the car with the city lord’s wife, much to the envy of the students.
The colorful sightseeing cars lined up like a long dragon, moving towards the farm outside the mountain under the guidance of the robots.
“By the Beast Gods, I didn’t notice when we first arrived, but the wasteland outside the city has been developed into such an orderly state.”
“Come to think of it, weren’t the beastmen talking about a project outside the city recently?”
“I heard they planted many unfamiliar crops. Wow… what we see here, aren’t these all grains!”
“There’s also the possibility that they’re the delicious varieties from Nuo Nuo’s home. This isn’t just farmland; this is a gold mine! No, I’m getting hungry again.”
“Hey, have you ever thought about something else? Earlier, wasn’t Qing Lan mocking Nuo Nuo’s family for being so poor they couldn’t afford to stay at an inn in the city? I’d really like to let him see the treasures in Nuo Nuo’s house with his own eyes. He won’t be so proud anymore.”
“Let’s not talk about that. After the incident at Qing Lan’s house, he doesn’t have the capital to be arrogant anymore. As for bullying Nuo Nuo, do you think anyone needs to bring up those old accounts after today? Just the discussions in the academy are enough to make him suffer.”
The sub-beast and females gathered in groups of three or five, admiring the changing scenery outside the city while discussing various gossip matters around them.
In no time, they entered the forest area from the plains.
“Huh? Do you smell that fragrance?”
“Like the smell of flowers?”
“It actually smells a bit like some ripe fruit.”
“Look ahead! So many fruit trees!”
The guests were dazzled by the prosperous scene of a bountiful harvest before them.
At the same time, the leading sightseeing car stopped at the entrance to the orchard.
“We’re here!” The little snake sub-beast jumped off the car excitedly, running back and forth on the smooth cement road, enjoying the pleasure of running and jumping with their legs.
The little animals in the back row didn’t leave an inch and landed close behind. On the small baskets they carried were various snake patterns with different expressions, swaying gently.
Two beastmen couldn’t help but show a helpless yet indulgent expression. Standing by the car, they watched the little snake sub-beast play around, waiting for the subsequent guests to enter. However, before the guests arrived, the cheers of the geese were heard.
“Honk! Honk honk!”
Two large geese sensed a familiar scent and flapped their wings, rushing out of the orchard, causing a few goose feathers to flutter. Spreading their webbed feet, they ran straight towards the little snake sub-beast, flying onto him and rubbing against him.
The little snake sub-beast, one on each side, hugged the long and fluffy necks of the geese, stroking them. Giggling, he said, “I missed you guys too. Next time, don’t stay out for so long, okay? I can’t see you.”
“Honk!” The geese spread their wings and wrapped them around the little snake sub-beast’s legs in response.
Although they were two big and strong geese, they created a scene reminiscent of a puppy being affectionate.
Ye Ze felt challenged in his status and instantly turned sour like vinegar.
He stepped forward and pulled the little snake sub-beast closer to him, summoning vines to push the two geese out of the safe zone. Before the little snake sub-beast could react, he pitifully lowered his head and nestled into the little snake sub-beast’s shoulder. “Nuo Nuo, the guests have arrived.”
Then he raised his eyelids and looked at the geese on the opposite side, with a smile that concealed a threat. “The geese need to go to work too.”
The geese feathers bristled. One of them made a sudden turn with its beak towards the vines, then turned to its side, “Honk honk.”
The little snake sub-beast’s herd of cattle and sheep heard the leader’s call and couldn’t wait to come out.
After the addition of the newborns, the size of the herd expanded to seventy to eighty. With their already fierce appearance, when they all walked together, they seemed quite imposing.
The young students exclaimed in surprise and subconsciously took several steps back. When they realized that the herd completely ignored them and instead gathered around the little snake sub-beast, humming softly, black lines appeared on their heads.
Fine. This beastman named Ye Ze even had animals with a built-in discriminatory attribute.
What was the term they saw in the movie just now? Right! It’s called double standards with a bias towards the little snake sub-beast!
Get it together; they were the guests, okay! They should be warmly welcomed, shouldn’t they?
One second they were trembling with fear, and the next they were in tears from the fierce animals acting cute.
Fortunately, the kind-hearted little snake sub-beast didn’t forget about them!
After comforting the cattle and sheep that they hadn’t seen in a long time, the little snake sub-beast, accompanied by the animal bodyguards, came to his friends. “Come on, everyone, let’s get to know each other. These are new friends Nuo Nuo has met, who will be picking and playing at the farm today; these are the cows and sheep, who will protect and serve everyone. Let’s get along well.”
Saying this, the little snake sub-beast nodded very seriously. He watched the crowd and the cattle and sheep leave in pairs, smiling with his eyes bent.
“Nuo Nuo, let’s go pick some fruits too. When we were in Little Dragon City, didn’t you like the big strawberries grown at home? They’re ripe now.”
“Huh?” But when they came to see a few days ago, the fruits had just started to grow, hadn’t they?
Ye Ze carried the largest snake-shaped basket. Seeing the little snake sub-beast’s puzzled look, he didn’t mention the task he had assigned to the horned deer last night.
But the horned deer would seek benefits for itself.
“Moo~.”
The vast herd of cattle and sheep dispersed, and the horned deer finally managed to squeeze back to the side of the little snake sub-beast, gently rubbing its head against the little snake sub-beast’s cheek. The horned deer stretched out proudly and pushed Ye Ze’s face back a step.
Ye Ze’s smile turned slightly dark.
The little snake sub-beast hugged the horned deer and gently stroked the fur behind its neck, saying, “Thank you, deer deer, for your help. Deer deer, you’ve worked hard.”
Praised by the little snake sub-beast, the horned deer buried its head deeper into the little snake sub-beast’s neck. It tried to rub off Ye Ze’s scent left behind and looked at Ye Ze with its big eyes, silently mocking him.
Ye Ze’s fists tightened.
Among all the small animals at home, this one was truly the most deserving of a beating!
Following the little snake sub-beast’s lead, the horned deer, who had backed away with Ye Ze’s strength, snorted loudly at him.
The gesture was very deliberate.
Ye Ze: “…Nuo Nuo, let’s add an extra dish to tonight’s barbecue feast.”
“Sure.” The little snake sub-beast readily agreed and asked with concern, “What does Ye Ze want to eat?”
“A feast of venison.” Ye Ze was very certain.
The little snake sub-beast: “???”
The author has something to say: Everyone is happily picking fruits, but you guys are staging a battlefield. What’s the situation with you guys?
Ye Ze & horned deer (in unison): Blame him!
The little snake sub-beast: …
