CHAPTER 91: CHAPTER 91: THE HARDWORKING ROBOT 003

Xi Han’s face showed a faint smile, "So that’s it, I thought you didn’t come home last night."

"How could it be? I just happened to meet Lu Muyu then! He gave me a ride home," Ruan Li nodded convincingly.

"Oh, we were worried all night, Zhe Ye almost called the police to find you."

Ruan Li’s pupils constricted slightly, murmuring, "No need to call the police..."

"Ruannuan, is there anything you’re hiding from us?"

He walked in front, suddenly turned his head, and glanced sideways at her.

"No, no, no."

Ruan Li twisted her hands behind her back, putting on a brave face.

"That’s good, everyone was waiting since last night, it’s just good to see you back home."

In the living room, three Beast Husbands stood in place, watching her.

The strong perfume masked her familiar feminine scent, almost making Zhe Ye sneeze.

He frowned, looking at Ruan Li, feeling heavy-hearted.

The Female Head spending the night at a nightclub, every Beastman understood what that meant...

Even Bai He’s face bore a faint gloom, his fine brows furrowed, watching Ruan Li uneasily stand at the entrance.

"Ruannuan, why don’t you come in?" Xi Han curved his lips and asked.

Ruan Li forced herself to stand on her shaky legs, smiling more painfully than crying, "Why does it feel chilly inside, is it going to get cold?"

Xi Han took her hand, cold as an ice cellar, but Ruan Li dared not withdraw.

"Ruannuan, you don’t seem very good at lying," Xi Han’s smile faded, speaking expressionlessly.

Ruan Li watched, eyes wide, as scales gradually appeared on his face, ice-blue eyes turning into beast pupils, with the clammy touch of webbed fingers in the palm.

"Wait, can I make another excuse?"

She tried to struggle one last time.

Xi Han stroked her face, showing both affection and jealousy in his eyes, "Ruannuan, mermaids have their breeding season in the fall..."

?

......

Bai Ci kicked the fence outside the villa, almost getting shocked into a singed bird by the current.

Early in the morning, Bai He had thrown him out of the villa, telling him to go fend for himself.

When he wanted to return home that night, he found the entire villa had entered protection mode, and the outside fence was actually electrified?

Bai Ci sat on the steps at the villa’s entrance for several hours, with no one answering his calls or messages.

On the second day of sleeping on the streets, he sat supporting his head, having endured a night of wind.

"Hello, is this Ruan Ying’s home?"

A clear yet cautious voice sounded.

Bai Ci frowned impatiently, lifting his eyelids for a glance, "Who are you?"

Where did this wild Beastman come from?

...Wait a minute.

Why does he have a strong scent of Ruan Li on him?

Bai Ci’s previously squinting eyes snapped open, viciously scrutinizing the plainly dressed youth in front of him.

Startled by Bai Ci’s fierce gaze, even his voice took on a timid edge, "Are you her Beast Husband?"

Bai Ci rubbed his nose, hiding the slight upward curve of his mouth, "Hmm, so what, are you looking for her?"

Huishi glanced at the tightly closed gate, then at Bai Ci, and finally took out a neatly folded piece of paper from his clothes.

"I want to give her this paper; she might not want to see me..."

Huishi handed the folded paper to him, "Could you please pass it on to her?"

Bai Ci took the paper and opened it directly, seeing the contents:

[I.O.U.: I, Huishi, borrowed 500,000 Star Coins from Ruan Li on the morning of September 8, Interstellar year 3386.]

Bai Ci’s gaze settled on the date.

He immediately grabbed Huishi by the collar, gnashing his teeth, "You’re the Beastman who seduced the Female Head that night!"

Huishi lowered his gaze, hiding the flicker, "It’s all my fault..."

Bai Ci landed a punch, "Damn right, it’s your damn fault! You shameless thing!"

Huishi offered no resistance and was knocked to the ground by the punch, his face swelling instantly, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

Bai Ci was about to continue teaching this shameless Beastman a lesson when he noticed Huishi clutching his stomach, face pale.

Wait... wasn’t it his face I hit?

Bai Ci hesitated for a second, seriously suspecting this person of playing tricks.

But in the next second, he saw the previously pale-faced beastman, looking like he was dying for a while, struggling to stand up, clutching his stomach and staggering away.

Bai Ci stood in place, scratching his head in confusion.

Is this guy really okay?

Could he have turned stupid?

He did indeed just punch him in the face, could it have made him stupid?

He glanced at the crumpled IOU in his hand, thought for a moment, and decided to toss it into the Space Hub, out of sight, out of mind.

Besides, it’s probably some new trick to seduce the Female Head.

With a pretty face and soft speech, he looked like the kind of beastman who loved to seduce females.

...

the little robot has been very busy these days.

Clearly unable to see the owner’s figure, it’s been busy boiling water, doing laundry, and cooking.

Fixing the Gray Wolf Beastman’s bed in the morning, repairing the Mermaid Beastman’s bed in the afternoon, and mending the owner’s bed at night.

It’s been working almost nonstop for the past ten days.

But the robot won’t complain, nor does it understand labor shortages, it just keeps working diligently, occasionally running off to the power strip to recharge halfway through its tasks.

Once fully charged, it goes back to work.

The sheets needed to be washed four sets a day, and the rooms were an utter mess.

picked up a pink gauze scarf with its mechanical arm, categorizing it as a towel.

It also picked up some unknown pink ball.

was puzzled: Unknown object, power drained, classified as trash.

picked up the scattered clothes on the floor, tidying them up and stuffing them into the laundry basket.

[Cannot move! Cannot move!]

It beeped in alarm for quite a while on the spot.

Finally, a tall Beastman wrapped in a towel strode over.

"Zhe Ye, why is 003 alarming? Is it broken?"

Zhe Ye untangled the red ribbon wrapped around 003’s wheels, set it on the ground, and it immediately resumed cleaning.

"No, it just got tangled in a ribbon. But I’m considering whether we should get a new cleaning robot for the house, 003 seems to be overworking these past two days."

Ruan Li’s moist eyes glared at him, "And who’s to blame for that?"

She pushed the Xi Han entwined around her, "You even crushed the bathtub!"

Xi Han looked at her innocently, burying himself in her embrace, his voice hoarse with a spoiled tone, "Ruannuan, can’t we have a child?"

"No way!"

"I refuse!"

Ever since Ruan Li found out the semi-beast form was a mating invitation, she was utterly disenchanted with the beast form.

Especially knowing... it could increase the chances of conception.

She doesn’t like children! She’s still a child herself, how could she be a mom?

Bai He just brought a cup of warm water from downstairs, "Ruannuan, have some more water."

Ruan Li gulped down two cups, finally feeling a brief reprieve from her parched throat.

The room door closed.

started diligently working again.
