The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 669 The Fastidious Orange Cat_1

Zi Ling felt perfectly entitled as she occupied Li Qing’s office, delving into the materials about King Qi’s Underground Palace.

Li Qing could tolerate his tranquility being disturbed, it was no big deal.

But the nerve of this woman—she even started to boss Li Qing around.

One moment she wanted food, the next she wanted tea. Green tea wouldn’t do, she insisted on white tea.

Attending to her was even more troublesome than dealing with a bedridden woman.

Finally, after bringing her tea yet again, Li Qing couldn’t hold back, "Wang Ziling, I think at this rate, I might as well help you with your toileting too? I’ve brought the food, served the tea, I might as well go for the full package."

"In your dreams!" Zi Ling snorted in response.

"Come on, be good, don’t be shy. I’m quite sympathetic towards a beautiful woman with impaired mobility." Li Qing moved over to Zi Ling, pretending to lift her from her chair.

"I’m doing this for serious business, you definitely haven’t looked at these materials, right? If I look at them, you can rest easy, isn’t that good? It’s just a few more trips for you, look how many there are!" Zi Ling immediately shouted nervously.

Li Qing smiled lightly, "Sorry, but I actually have."

"Then I won’t look anymore, and you won’t have to wait on me." Zi Ling said.

Li Qing was taken aback, "Forget it, you keep looking, but make sure you look closely. I’ll go make tea for His Majesty!"

He found those endless pages of materials headache-inducing just to look at.

Compared to that, he much preferred to serve Zi Ling a cup of tea or fetch some water.

"Senior Brother Li, you and your senior sister are truly a loving couple!" Li Qing had just returned to the tea room when Shisan came up and said.

"Which eye of yours saw ’loving couple’?" Li Qing was utterly baffled by the remark.

With a lewd smile on his face, Shisan pointed to his eyes and said, "Both of my eyes saw it, Senior Brother, you’re awesome!"

Li Qing, speechless, said resignedly, "Aren’t you afraid of being beaten to death by your senior sister?"

The last time, he had deliberately said such things to annoy Zi Ling, which is why he had treated Shisan that way.

But to his surprise, the foolish kid actually believed it.

"She’s already beaten me, but I still trust what I’ve seen with my own eyes." Shisan shrugged and said, "That’s just the way my senior sister is, a typical case of a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Even if she and you, Senior Brother, have become as close as can be, sharing the same blanket, she won’t admit it before making it public, I know all about it."

Li Qing: ...

This silly boy, he didn’t even know what to say.

Seeing isn’t always believing.

"If your senior sister needs anything later, you go bring it to her, butter her up a bit. If she hits you again, I’ll step in to protect you." Li Qing said earnestly.

Shisan chuckled, "Senior Brother Li, you’re so generous. Leave this little errand to me."

"By the way, did that cat steal all your Elixirs?" Li Qing suddenly remembered and asked casually.

"It wasn’t all of them. After the cat beat me up, it kindly left me an Elixir for healing. If it weren’t for that Elixir, I’d probably be bedridden for another ten days or two weeks." Shisan spoke somberly.

He was vexed just thinking about it.

The Elixirs he had risked his life for had so easily been snatched away.

The crux of the matter was that he was utterly helpless against that cat.

"I didn’t expect it to be such an honorable cat, to beat you up yet still considerate enough to leave you a healing Elixir." Li Qing couldn’t help but laugh.

"Senior Brother Li, please stop teasing me. I was nearly driven to a breakdown," Shisan shook his head and sighed.

In the office, Zi Ling’s soul-invoking shouting started up again.

"Go on!" Li Qing gestured to Shisan with a wave of his hand.

Shisan hobbled into the office, leaning on his right leg.

After less than a moment, Shisan came out with a crestfallen face, "My senior sister asked when I had forsaken our ancestors and even changed my surname."

"What did you do?" Li Qing, blissfully enjoying the scenery, turned his head in surprise and asked.

"Because my senior sister said she was calling you, but I came in instead," Shisan said, aggrieved.

Li Qing couldn’t help but smile, "Just ignore it, a few kind words should do the trick."

"Senior Brother Li... that... that cat," Shisan suddenly cried out in horror, staring outside the window.

Li Qing leisurely took a sip of tea and asked, "What’s wrong with the cat?"

"Outside the window, Senior Brother Li, that damned cat is outside!" Shisan pointed outside the window, shouting in sheer terror.

Li Qing turned his head to look, and his gaze involuntarily sharpened.

But the plump cat, carrying a huge box on its back, was deftly standing on the windowsill. When Li Qing looked over, it even lifted its paw to him, as if greeting him.

Li Qing quickly got up, his voice filled with shock, "You really have a death wish, don’t you? How did you get up here? Come on over, get inside from here."

Li Qing wasn’t sure exactly how tall the hotel was, but it certainly had at least twenty or thirty stories.

Li Qing really wanted to know how it managed to climb up with a box that was more than twice its own size.

No matter how agile a cat’s movements may be, carrying a box should have made it less nimble, right? 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Since the windows in the tea room were large floor-to-ceiling panes, Li Qing led the cat to the adjacent office and opened the window to let it jump in.

Zi Ling, busy rifling through data on the computer, was startled when she saw the orange cat.

"Where did this cat come from, and it’s carrying a box? Wait, isn’t this the same cat that crippled Shisan?"

Li Qing nodded, "You guessed right. It is indeed the cat that fought Shisan. However, it has no beef with me, so don’t scare it. We have a deal to negotiate."

The orange cat had come to him with a box on its back, apparently having understood Li Qing’s previous proposal.

After all, it seemed to find the deal quite profitable.

After all, that box was really big!

"Senior Brother Li, how did this damned cat find its way here? Be very careful!" Shisan appeared at the doorway, nervous, wielding a Peach Wood Sword.

He seemed to have developed a psychological shadow because of this cat, acting extremely cautious and wary.

"It’s fine, it probably won’t trouble you today," Li Qing said.

The orange cat glanced at Li Qing and bared its teeth at Shisan standing in the doorway.

Its expression was so rich, it nearly seemed human.

"Senior Brother Li, look, look, it’s threatening me!" Shisan waved the Peach Wood Sword as he anxiously shouted to Li Qing.

"It’s all right, it’s all right. I suppose the issue between the two of you has already been settled, right?" Li Qing asked the orange cat.

The orange cat meowed dismissively, swept a disdainful glance at Shisan, and leaped onto the office desk, unloading the box.
