Chapter 548: Chapter 420 You Think You Can Have an Extra Meal When I Ask You to Take Off Your Shoes?

In a flash of lightning, Liu Zheng cast a glance.

Great, she’s wearing shoes.

He glanced again.

"Damn, not wearing them."

Liu Zheng groaned inwardly.

Is she going to make him lick "that" spot this time?

Licking her foot already left him half-dead. If it’s "that," wouldn’t he be completely done for?

Maybe some Innate types in Metropolis with holy bodies would think of it as a privilege, but no matter how great the privilege, you need the ability to enjoy it first.

In any case, Liu Zheng absolutely didn’t have that ability. Whoever wants it, they can go for it.

"What are you thinking about?"

Si Xue asked with a half-smile.

"I was just wondering if loose robes go better with plain flat hemp shoes."

He replied earnestly.

"I don’t like hemp."

Si Xue shook her head.

"Silk ones are good too; they suit your elegance more, boss."

Liu Zheng immediately changed his tune.

"Oh? Are you planning to give me a pair?"

Si Xue shot him a glance.

"One pair? For someone as esteemed as you, boss, at least four pairs of regular shoes are necessary."

"Alright then."

Si Xue lifted her foot.

"Uh, what are you doing?"

"Taking off my shoe. Unless you’d rather have an extra treat?"

Si Xue snapped in faintly exasperated tones.

"Oh, oh."

Liu Zheng chuckled awkwardly and crouched down to carefully remove her shoe.

The arch of her foot was pale and cold, with blue veins clearly visible, evoking tender pity from anyone who glanced at it.

Of course, his focus was elsewhere entirely.

Thankfully, this time Si Xue’s pores showed no sign of seeping Black Water.

"Four pairs of shoes, you said so yourself."

Si Xue lowered her foot.

"Of course, having the honor of buying shoes for you is my pleasure, boss."

Liu Zheng said respectfully.

"Alright, get lost now."

Si Xue waved him off.

"Got it."

He skillfully bundled himself up and rolled all the way into the elevator.

Si Xue snapped her fingers, imprinting the Golden Jade mark on Shao Yanming’s forehead.

Then she poured the remaining tea onto Shao Yanming’s head, instantly sealing it in ice.

"You’re becoming more and more outrageous, Si Xue."

Suddenly, the lake water surged into the air, forming a transparent humanoid figure that opened its mouth to speak.

"I think it’s you who’s gone too far, Lake God."

Si Xue replied coolly.

"Just now when Liu Zheng was here, you didn’t come out to greet me, I let that slide. But now that he’s gone, what should you be calling me?"

She reached directly into the furnace fire; the thousands-of-degrees blaze couldn’t even singe her hand.

Si Xue scooped out the fire and casually tossed it up and down in her palm, as if ready to throw it at any moment.

"...Boss."

The Lake God hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Is that how you talk to your boss? Standing higher than me?"

Si Xue frowned.

"..."

The Lake God paused, then silently sank back into the lake, exposing only half of its form.

"Good, keep going."

Si Xue casually tossed the furnace fire back into the flames.

"That person just now wasn’t an excellent employee; he hasn’t worked for ten years yet. Sending him to Treasure Lake to fish doesn’t comply with the rules."

The Lake God suppressing his frustration said.

"Whose rules? Yours?"

Si Xue retorted.

"This was agreed upon when the restaurant was established."

The Lake God said angrily.

"What does a restaurant’s agreement with you have to do with me?"

With those words, the lake water began to rumble, and the entire cavern shook uncontrollably.

"What? You’re allowed to mess with Liu Zheng behind my back, but I’m not allowed to mess with you?"

She stood, hands on hips, shouting at the cavern ceiling.

"You tell me, have I done a good job as boss? Without me, would your deliveries even make it to the sewers?"

The cavern continued to quake violently.

"Was Liu Zheng your discovery? Was the negotiation with City Hall your idea? With your brain, if you could handle high-end work like this, what would people like me need bosses for?"

Si Xue snapped without reservation.

The tremors grew even stronger.

"With Liu Zheng’s personality, could you really deal with him? It’d be easy for you to kill him, but finding a replacement would be tough."

"He’s marked all over with so many imprints it’s scary. If you kill him, you’ll offend half of Metropolis."

"When the performance numbers fail, maybe I’ll have to be turned into cannon fodder, but your painstakingly accumulated personality will end up wiped out."

Si Xue remained unmoved.

The cavern’s shaking gradually slowed, then ceased entirely.

"Tsk, turns out anything that develops a personality becomes afraid of death."

Si Xue sneered.

"Do you still have objections?"

She turned to the Lake God.

"I do. I care nothing about your issues with the restaurant, but managing Treasure Lake is my responsibility and my right. If all bosses start randomly calling people to fish here like you, how am I supposed to manage it?"

The Lake God stiffened his neck and replied.

"Oh, poor you. Why don’t you mention I’ve entrusted some of my treasures to the lake?"

Si Xue sneered.

"Without my treasures, could you siphon off so much spiritual substance?"

"Alright, alright, stop talking."

The Lake God quickly tried to dissuade her.

"You tell me to stop talking and I have to stop? What exactly are you?"

"Wait..."

"Lady Boss, I admit my mistakes, I admit it! From now on, you can fish however you want, even use electricity to fish, alright?"

The Lake God hurriedly kowtowed out of fear.

"Would you look at yourself? You’re no blacksmith, why do you insist on being such a damn fool?"

Si Xue looked at him with disdain.

"Then I’ll take my leave."

The Lake God forced a bitter smile and prepared to retreat to the lake.

"Who gave you permission to leave? I just happen to need an audience, and you’ve delivered yourself right to me. Stay put and don’t move a muscle."

Si Xue ordered.

"This... I... sigh!"

The Lake God sighed, remaining motionless.

Si Xue pulled out her phone and dialed a number.

"Hey, bird boy, still alive?"

She said with a smile.

"If a crawling creature like you can still live, how could I have the nerve to die?"
