Chapter 696: Chapter 494 Si Xue: Sewer fool, you’re even dumber than the sewer

"Don’t be so stingy."

There was no response from above, but Si Xue seemed to have received a reply.

"If the Writer Association really goes under, what good would it do you? Even if that person manages to hold things together again, you’ll get ripped apart by others in the meantime."

She said confidently.

"Think long-term. Every landmark, every department, may be cooking in their own pots, but isn’t the rice cooked in this Metropolis kitchen?"

"If you don’t help others fix their pots today, they’ll come and steal your rice tomorrow. The way you’re ticking people off with all these deliveries, if something really happens, you’ll be the first to get your pot broken."

"Even the sewer can figure out this cost-free favor that earns you goodwill. Surely, you can’t be dumber than the sewer?"

Si Xue continued.

"Crack!"

Liu Zheng hadn’t reacted yet when the chaise longue turned to dust, and he fell into the lake.

Tentacles flailing stirred the water, countless curious or greedy gazes locked on him through the lake.

The next second, there was a roaring splash.

"Damn!"

Seeing the faint figures of treasures transforming, Liu Zheng’s scalp tingled.

He felt like he had turned into a bait ball, and those shadows were the famished fish waiting for their Immortal meals.

Luckily, this bait ball had grown legs.

Liu Zheng took out the express list, ready to tear it the moment the treasures approached.

He had a crazy idea: if he grabbed a treasure and used the express list, could he take the treasure out?

Just as Liu Zheng hesitated to try his luck, a hand plunged into the lake and lifted him out.

"All turned into an octopus, yet your swimming is still so bad?"

Si Xue mocked as she looked at his sorry state.

"Boss, that’s a bit of species discrimination. Having tentacles doesn’t necessarily mean I’m an octopus."

Liu Zheng said, speechless.

"I say you are, unless you truly want to become an octopus?"

Si Xue’s eyes turned cold.

"No need, no need. I think it’s great now, a land-dwelling octopus, sounds unique, quite dashing."

He hurriedly replied.

"Hmph. Remember, don’t let it go to your head. I’m not like those easy-to-threaten female bosses in the small movies you watch, I’ve got more than enough strength and means."

Si Xue pinched the nape of his neck.

"I wouldn’t dare."

Liu Zheng said awkwardly.

To be honest, Si Xue was overthinking it.

It’s not like he would confuse art with reality, and even if he did, it would have to be with a human, right?

No one really thinks they can stop Sadako with a power-off and do whatever they want, right?

Can’t be, can’t be?

"Boss, did you reach a deal?"

Liu Zheng changed the topic.

"Of course. Unless it’s really stupid, it wouldn’t refuse my proposal."

Si Xue said with a disdainful smile.

He shrank his head, not daring to respond.

When the boss and the boss’s boss clash, what should an employee do?

Of course, lower their presence.

Si Xue stood barefoot on the water, and the once bloodthirsty treasures now swam desperately towards the lake’s bottom, afraid of being targeted by this she-devil.

Unfortunately, it was a futile effort because her goal today was very clear.

"Where’s your indestructible beer bottle?"

Si Xue asked.

"Here it is."

Liu Zheng quickly took it out.

As for how Si Xue knew about it, he was too lazy to ponder.

"You humans really love making things that sound mighty but are completely useless."

Si Xue complained while taking the beer bottle.

"Actually... fine, we humans are indeed like that."

Thinking of some "can’t say they’re useless, but truly useless" craftsmen in reality, Liu Zheng had to admit.

"And using seventeen encryption methods, what’s the point?"

Si Xue examined it and complained again.

He remained silent, afraid Si Xue might vent her anger on him.

"Humans truly are a crazy species, can’t understand why that person is so fond of you guys."

Si Xue shook her head and cut her wrist.

Golden blood flowed down, dripping into the beer bottle’s mouth.

The indestructible beer bottle slowly melted and mixed with the golden blood, turning into a golden-green liquid.

Si Xue clamped the golden-green liquid with both hands, kneading it like dough to make it rounder, finer, and longer, until it became a thin stick about three meters long.

"Hmm, that’s about right."

She nodded in satisfaction, then tossed the stick into the lake.

"Sizzle!"

The lake water immediately evaporated into heavy steam, like a cloud, enveloping the two of them.

With a wave, Si Xue swept the steam away, revealing a slender rod.

The rod was entirely jade green, with flecks of golden sand throughout, looking exquisite.

"It still needs a fishing line."

Si Xue said, looking at Liu Zheng’s tentacles.

"Boss, how many do you need? I’ll cut them myself."

He immediately said.

A few tentacles were nothing compared to her targeting other parts of him.

"Keep them for yourself. Good bloodline, but too weak to be useful."

Si Xue shook her head and pulled out a tuft of her hair.

"Ouch!"

A groan of pain.

"I’m pulling my hair, why are you yelping?"
