Chapter 12

Through the conversation, Joe also learned the names of his master and the Cohen man, who were discussing some unusual developments at the border.

Joe was also somewhat surprised; there really were monsters in this world.

When he was homeless, he saw advertisements and cartoons and thought the monsters were fictional, but he never expected them to be realistic.

He recalled the image of the monster in the video and pondered what monsters would look like in reality.

His mind raced, and he suddenly thought of Ultraman fighting monsters. Could it be that his master was Ultraman who could transform? This thought felt really strange.

The situation has changed, so is his owner going on another long trip? Will he be left at home again?

It's so boring being home alone! I wish I could fight monsters with my owner... no, I mean go out to work.

At the very least, it would be great if he could go online, read the news, and learn about many things in the world.

The master's name is Ji Fang. He should be a very famous person. You should be able to find him in the encyclopedia of this world.

He knew that every Cohen employee had a wristband terminal, and all online activities were done through this terminal. So, how could he get such a terminal to access the internet?

Joe also thought about the world he had before he transmigrated. In the world, some owners would let their pets watch TV, and some pet owners would even equip their pets with GPS trackers. However, it was almost impossible for them to have a mobile phone with internet access. He had never heard of any dog ​​or cat that could access the internet.

If you have a pet monkey or gorilla, it may be able to access the internet.

No matter what, the idea of ​​pets being able to access the internet is such a fantastical concept!

But, given how similar the original humans and Cohens are, and with millions of netizens in this world, why can't there be one more of them?

Xiao Guai couldn't stay in one place; he wanted to go out for a stroll, so Wei Liangguan wanted to take Xiao Guai out on a leash.

"Shall we go out for a stroll together?" Wei Liangguan invited Ji Fang, holding Xiao Guai's hand.

Ji Fang looked at Qiao Ye, thought for a moment, and then agreed.

Ji Fang secured the safety rope to Qiao Ye's back and they set off. Qiao Ye felt the pulling force on her shoulders and was somewhat relieved that the rope wasn't tied around her neck, otherwise it would have felt terrible.

This was the first time his master had taken him out for a walk, and it was also the first time Ji Fang had taken the original human out for a walk.

For the two of them, this experience was quite novel.

Ji Fang watched as Wei Liangguan kept pulling Xiao Guai along, worried that it might eat or touch dirty things.

Qiao watched as Xiao Guai, like a wild horse that had broken free, hopped and skipped along the road, pulling on its leash as if it were Xiao Guai leading its owner.

Joe was also wondering if being so obedient didn't fit the original human's persona. Should he be a little more lively? After seeing Xiao Guai recklessly tease another original human pet that was being led around and get beaten up, Joe decided that he should stick to his silent persona.

Xiao Guai was being bullied and was cursing the original human. Wei Liangguan held Xiao Guai and negotiated with the other original human owner.

Qiao also asked, "Little darling, are you alright? Why did you go and provoke a stranger?"

Xiao Guai was a little confused: "I just wanted to say hello and make friends with that beautiful aborigine... Are you calling me? My name is Lu Wei."

Joe also said, "Ruwei means 'little cutie' in Cohen, so your name is actually Little Cutie."

Little Guai yelled even louder: "I don't want to be called Little Guai! This name isn't impressive at all!"

Qiao Ye: "..."

He hadn't even complained about his own name yet. It was similar to the names of the two robots in his house. What the heck was Ling Mu? It sounded like a motorcycle brand name.

Qiao followed Ji Fang silently and obediently. To reduce the discomfort of being led by a leash, he hesitated for a moment, then grabbed Ji Fang's sleeve, making it look as if Ji Fang was leading him.

When Ji Fang saw Yuan Ren tugging at his sleeve, he simply took Yuan Ren's hand in his own.

Holding hands, Ji Fang took bigger strides than Qiao Ye, and Qiao Ye had to walk a little faster to keep up.

Compared to Wei Liangguan's overly lively original human, Ji Fang was quite satisfied with his own original human's well-behaved and quiet demeanor. Even Wei Liangguan couldn't help but complain, "You original human, are you here to repay a debt of gratitude? You're so quiet even when you're out playing."

Ji Fang looked relaxed, and unusually teased, "This is called 'the original person follows the master'."

Wei Liangguan glanced at Qiao Ye, then at the restless Xiao Guai, feeling somewhat annoyed.

Joe held his master's hand and looked around. They arrived at the plaza entrance of the mall, where many Cohens were strolling around with their original humans.

Before, Joe was a homeless man who had to worry about his next meal and had no fixed abode. Now he no longer had to struggle for a living. All of this was because he had been taken in by the Cohens. He tightly clenched the warm, large hand in his own, feeling content with everything he had now.

While self-reliance is the ultimate goal, in the current environment, being a good pet and making it a profession is also a viable way to earn a living.

Who can resist a quirky and sweet pet?

After strolling around, Qiao also noticed that wherever Ji Fang went, others spontaneously dared not approach, especially when he was leading Yuan Ren by the hand. Yuan Ren, who was walking happily and normally, would suddenly snuggle into his master's arms.

Qiao stared at her master and suddenly felt that her master had a kind of aloofness that made her feel lonely. With this kind of aloofness, was it difficult for her to blend into a lively atmosphere?

Ji Fang turned his head and saw his original human looking at him with an expression he couldn't understand. He felt a little confused. Could an original human have a lot of thoughts in his head?

Joe snapped out of his daze, and then, unexpectedly, his vision lifted into the air, and he was being held in his master's arms.

Qiao hugged Ji Fang's neck, feeling a little embarrassed. As a grown man, he was still a bit uncomfortable being hugged in public.

He turned to look at Xiao Guai and found that he was also being hugged. Since he was being hugged, his sense of shame lessened a bit. It was normal for Cohen people to hug each other on the street.

Qiao and Xiao Guai were carried into the mall and took the elevator straight up to the 30th floor. The speed was very fast, without any pauses or feeling of weightlessness, which was very convenient and quick.

They arrived at a hair salon, where in this technologically advanced world, human service is more expensive than robot service.

There are several waiters in the restaurant, and the guests are all in private rooms, which offer a high degree of privacy.

Upon seeing them enter, the receptionist seemed a little timid and stammered. Seeing this, the manager took a deep breath and approached with a professional smile.

"Hello sir, what kind of haircut service would you like?"

Wei Liangguan said, "Give us both haircuts, and keep an eye on the two original humans so they don't run around."

The store manager breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the man was easy to talk to, and quickly ordered someone to serve him.

The store manager personally served Ji Fang, and he was very careful in all his movements.

After Ji Fang finished tidying up, he looked at Qiao Ye and said, "Can you give the original human a haircut?"

The shop manager was a bit confused. They don't provide grooming services for pets, and usually no customer would make such a request. However, this customer had an overwhelming presence, and what he said sounded more like an order than a question.

He subconsciously said, "Yes, I think so."

The store manager was still in a state of shock at having agreed, and it seemed inappropriate to refuse again.

While the shop manager was still in a daze, Ji Fang had already lifted Qiao Ye onto the barber chair, patted its shoulder and instructed, "Don't move around, I'm going to give you a haircut."

The shop manager was forced into this situation and had no choice but to cut the hair of a human. Heaven knows it was his first time cutting the hair of a human! Are all humans this obedient? Can they really stay still when told not to?

Although the original humans and the Cohen people have similar head shapes, the original humans are still different from humans. What if they become uncontrollable and attack humans?

The shop manager seemed a little unsure how to proceed, and looked at the customer, asking, "What kind of hairstyle would you like?"

Ji Fang said, "Someone like me."

Wei Liangguan finished dealing with his hair at this time. He was a little surprised to see Ji Fang going to cut Yuanren's hair here: "Why not go to the pet store? It will make a mess if it moves around too much. It doesn't listen to reason."

Ji Fang: "The pet store is a bit far, he won't wander off."

The shop manager had already started cutting the hair. He watched as the original person sat obediently, bowing his head when told to bow it, and tilting his head when told to tilt it, cooperating perfectly. He clicked his tongue in amazement, thinking how well the original person had been trained.

Wei Liangguan also found it strange and ran over to look at Qiao Ye, who was sitting motionless. Compared to his own primitive human, who only knew how to run around, Ji Fang was a perfect primitive human.

He exclaimed again, "What incredible luck you have to find such a well-behaved and intelligent pet! I wanted to take it home myself! Or did you secretly enroll it in a pet training course and train it?"

With Qiao Ye's cooperation, the shop manager relaxed and his movements became less restrained, quickly and perfectly finishing Qiao Ye's haircut.

Inside the private room, a shop assistant was secretly taking pictures of the original human who was getting a haircut. He thought the original human was so cute, and that his master was so handsome and strong! He wanted to secretly take pictures of Ji Fang, but Ji Fang sensed it and his sharp warning look scared him, so he immediately stopped taking pictures.

After getting his hair cut, Qiao touched it and seemed quite satisfied. Wei Liangguan, holding Xiao Guai, said, "Ling Mu is so handsome. How about Xiao Guai becomes your wife? Our Xiao Guai is very cute too!"

Upon hearing this, Qiao hurriedly moved away from Wei Liangguan. What kind of outrageous suggestion was this? Xiao Guai's mind was that of a five or six-year-old child. He must be crazy to like him.

Ji Fang sensed Qiao Ye's nervousness, smiled, picked it up, and said to Wei Liangguan, "It says it doesn't want to."

Wei Liangguan's eyes lit up: "Can Ling Mu understand what we're saying? It's so smart!"

After wandering around outside for a while, they went home. Wei Liangguan also carried Xiao Guai back. Before going home, Wei Liangguan once again suggested to Ji Fang: "You can try sleeping with it tonight. You'll definitely get a good night's sleep. You'll know once you try it."

Ji Fang neither said yes nor no, indicating that he understood.

After Wei Liangguan left, Qiao became a little nervous. He repeatedly observed Ji Fang, wondering if he would follow Wei Liangguan's advice and hold him to sleep tonight.

After thinking it over, Qiao became a little anxious. With Ji Fang's large size, what if he rolled over and crushed him, making it hard for him to breathe? He thought of news reports about owners crushing their cats to death while sleeping.

Then he stared at Ji Fang's face, which was considered handsome by human standards, and couldn't help but blush.

Tall, strong, and muscular, exuding a sense of security; species segregation; beautiful boy and beast...

Images from comics he had read that he couldn't talk about flashed through his mind.

Help! Stop thinking about it! His owner isn't a pervert; how could he possibly have inappropriate thoughts about a pet?

On the contrary, his thinking about these things is somewhat abnormal.

The reason Ji Fang raised him was to help him manage his mental illness and relax his emotions; his role was simply to provide companionship.

He now wishes he were like Xiao Guai, with the intelligence of a five or six-year-old child, a simple and pure-hearted pet.

What's meant to happen will happen. When it was time to go to bed, Ji Fang didn't let the robot Ling Yu handle his bathing. Instead, he carried him into the bathroom together.

Joe already knew how to use the structure and equipment in the bathroom, but everything inside was designed according to the height of the Cohen people, making it difficult for Joe to use.

It seems his owner doesn't trust the robot and plans to clean it himself.

Before washing, Ji Fang said to Qiao Ye, "I'm going to give you a bath. Don't be afraid, okay?"

Whenever he needed to do something, Ji Fang would tell him what to do, as if he thought he understood, even though he did understand.

Joe didn't want to be discovered that he could understand Cohen, so he didn't react and just stood there obediently.

Joe started to feel a little embarrassed from the moment her clothes were taken off.

But he couldn't resist this situation. He took deep breaths and kept trying to mentally prepare himself, and then the water from the bathroom started to wet his head.

Ji Fang looked like a cold and hard person, but I didn't expect him to be so careful in taking care of him. The water didn't hit his eyes.

Then Ji Fang applied something similar to shower gel to him and carefully cleaned every part of him, even the auricle of his ears.

However, the force he used was not gentle; his slightly rough palms had a peculiar feel to them.

The skin that was being scrubbed was a little red, because Qiao also takes a shower almost every day and has never experienced the embarrassing situation of scrubbing up frizzy, muddy skin.

After giving Qiao Ye a bath, Ji Fang dried him off with a large towel, then pushed open the bedroom door and threw Qiao Ye onto a large bed.

This was the first time Qiao had entered her master's bedroom.
