Chapter 552: Chapter 422 Niu Ma Rightfully Takes the Beating

"This Champion Bull comes from the farm."

Liu Zheng said calmly.

"Which farm?"

The fierceness in Niu Ma’s eyes dimmed slightly.

"Farm 103."

He enunciated each word carefully.

"..."

Niu Ma fell silent.

"Push it in."

After a moment, it spoke.

"The door’s not wide enough."

Liu Zheng glanced at the doorway and commented.

"Move aside."

He quickly stepped to the side.

Soon enough, the door to the lounge was pushed open.

Two hooves grabbed onto the sides of the door frame, pulling it outward.

Quickly, the lounge door expanded to the size of two Niu Mas.

"Is that wide enough?"

Niu Ma asked.

"It is."

Liu Zheng wasn’t surprised by the functionality of the door; after all, Metropolis accommodated every kind of species, and some Niu Mas were certainly bigger in size.

Using four tentacles, he tied the cart and, with all his strength, pushed the corpse of the Champion Bull into the lounge.

"Father."

No further proof was needed; the moment Niu Ma laid eyes on Champion Bull, it instantly recognized it as its parent.

"That plague chicken, Napoleon."

The next second, it burst into curse words.

With its intellect, how could it not guess the schemes orchestrated by White Feather Chicken?

"Anyway, at least you got your dad back. Let it go, boss."

Liu Zheng tried to mediate.

"If it had told me earlier, would I have needed it to give him back? It was clearly keeping him to manipulate me."

Niu Ma retorted angrily.

"Not necessarily, it might’ve been doing it just to spite you."

"You’ve got quite the sharp tongue. Want me to fix it for you?"

Niu Ma stared at him, grinding its teeth.

"My bad, boss. Carry on worshiping your dad."

Liu Zheng backed down quickly.

"Hmph."

Distracted by Liu Zheng’s interruption, Niu Ma’s emotions were greatly diffused.

"Lived all these years, and finally got myself a dad."

It gazed at the corpse of Champion Bull and spoke slowly.

"Hmm."

Liu Zheng nodded slightly.

"What’s my dad’s name?"

Niu Ma asked.

"Napoleon didn’t tell me. Likely, he doesn’t have one."

He answered.

Champion Bull was also Niu Ma, it didn’t need a name.

"Not having a name won’t do. What would I engrave on its gravestone later?"

Niu Ma shook its head.

"I’m so impressive; my dad must’ve been impressive too. Let’s just call him Niu Dafa."

After thinking for a while, it decided.

"Great name."

Liu Zheng cycled through every grievance he’d endured in life, struggling not to laugh.

"You’re planning on eating my dad, aren’t you?"

Niu Ma asked bluntly.

"Yes."

He straightforwardly admitted.

"Not going to happen. I’m going to buy my dad a burial plot, a coffin, and a gravestone. Lay him to rest."

"I don’t know when he was born or when he died, so I’ll make today his birthday and his memorial day."

"From now on, on this day every year, I’ll bring my wife and kids to pay our respects. I’ll call him Dad, my wife will call him Father-in-law, my kids will call him Grandpa."

"When I die someday, I’ll buy a plot next to his. My kids will bring their kids along to worship him and me. My kids’ kids will call me Grandpa, and call him Great-grandpa."

"Generation after generation, we won’t just be numbered livestock on the farm anymore. We’ll be citizens of Metropolis—an actual family."

As Niu Ma spoke, it closed its eyes, an air of tranquility filling its expression.

"Sounds good. If I’m still around by then, I’ll help you compile a family genealogy."

Liu Zheng gently clapped his hands.

"Aren’t you going to ask me about the other Niu Mas on that farm? Do they deserve to remain livestock for generations too?"

Niu Ma suddenly opened its eyes, staring directly at him.

"With prosperity, you can benefit the world; with modest means, you safeguard yourself."

He shook his head and replied.

"What does that mean?"

Niu Ma asked solemnly.

"... It means that one’s efforts must account for both personal capability and the broader historical context."

"Speak in common language, or I’ll make you bury yourself with my dad."

Niu Ma raised a hoof.

"Do what you can with the abilities you have. If you can expand the Niu Ma family and secure a seat on Metropolis’s power hierarchy, you’ll naturally be able to help those Niu Mas on the farm."

Liu Zheng had no choice but to say it more plainly.

"But this way, it just doesn’t fully satisfy me."

Niu Ma sighed.

"If you want satisfaction, don’t start a family; if you do start a family, don’t seek satisfaction. Live well and leave opportunities for the next generation."

He stepped forward and patted Niu Ma on the shoulder.

"Since when did it become your turn to preach to me?"

Niu Ma slapped his tentacles away.

"If you’re truly dissatisfied, I’ll find an opportunity to blow up Farm 103."

Liu Zheng tried to console.

"Don’t tell me you’re not planning on starting a family?"

Niu Ma cast him a sidelong glance.

"We’ll see. I’m still young, this is the time to focus on my career."

He replied evasively.

"I think this is your time to stir up trouble."

Niu Ma grumbled.

"Close enough. Don’t stress over the details. I’ll be off now; need to swap coffins with French Plane Tree. Remember to return the cart for me."

After speaking, Liu Zheng turned and left.

Niu Ma opened its mouth, as if wanting to call him back, but ultimately kept silent.

"Damn it, humans are so damn annoying to Niu Mas."

Once Liu Zheng had walked far enough, Niu Ma cursed loudly.

After cursing, it hoisted Niu Dafa’s corpse and left the lounge, heading toward the kitchen.

A moment later, it returned.

"Damn, forgot."

Niu Ma placed Niu Dafa’s corpse onto two carts, pushing them along together.

-----------------

"Hello, your delivery has arrived. Please sign for it."

Liu Zheng jumped off the truck, grinning as he spoke.

"Do you realize just how infuriating that line is?"

French Plane Tree shot him a glare.

"How infuriating?"

"Second place on Metropolis’s Deadly Prank Rankings—what do you think?"
