Chapter 151 Preliminary Consensus Agreement, Unexpected Events, Guge's Great-Grandson...
"Human, do not try to struggle, for everything you have will be exposed before me."
"I apologize to you for my rudeness."
Ray treated Ryan with humility. In the face of absolute strength, it is not shameful to kneel down early and bow one's head appropriately.
Ray felt that as long as Ryan was willing to speak up, that was good. At least there was room for negotiation, which was better than being a ticking time bomb lurking in the shadows.
"Human, you are very interesting, and your food is delicious."
It is also worthwhile to study this further.
Um?
Ryan's words were incoherent and left people somewhat confused.
How does this relate to the previous conversation?
Lai couldn't help but ponder.
“You offer me food, and I will provide you with protection.”
Hmm?
Things were getting increasingly out of control; Ray had never imagined that He would propose such a solution.
Something unusual must be going on. He didn't want to be manipulated by others without knowing why, so he tried to get as much information from Ryan as possible without angering him.
"I don't know what you mean by 'offering'."
Ray felt that Ryan was looking at him as if he were an ignorant and unreasonable fool, and there seemed to be a hint of disdain in his eyes. He pretended not to notice it.
"Just like usual, make some new and unusual foods."
Novel? That's a really strange adjective.
"Your food is delicious."
This is Ryan's third hint; if Ray still can't understand, he's a fool.
Thank you for liking it.
"but……"
They're here, they're here.
"I need to use your body to perceive."
Based on this statement, what happened at the dinner table yesterday is beginning to become clear.
So, Neil was startled yesterday because Ryan wanted to try sweet and sour pork ribs? Who would believe that?!
Ray began to think about this matter in a divergent way.
But have they really never eaten these before? It's just a meat dish that's a little troublesome.
Seeing that Ray remained silent for a long time, Ryan's voice appeared in his mind again.
"Human, I am not asking for your opinion, but informing you."
This has a strong sense of nostalgia for the old-fashioned domineering CEO style of speaking.
Lei couldn't help but complain in his mind.
What is a domineering CEO?
"Forehead……"
Damn it, I got caught being careless.
"A domineering CEO is the boss who manages all the employees of a company."
What is a business?
"A group of working people who work together to make money for their boss."
Lian roughly understood what the new word meant.
"It's my honor to serve you, but I'm very busy earning money. I can only spare one day a week to prepare new dishes for you, and the right ingredients can only be purchased by working to earn money..."
Ray said a lot of things, but his ultimate goal was to only allow Ryan to borrow his body once a week for one meal.
Since he couldn't refuse the situation, he tried to achieve the best possible outcome for himself within the limits of his control.
"good."
Ryan granted his request.
"Please do not use my body normally. If you are planning to try something new someday, please let me and my family know in advance so that we can prepare ourselves."
Ray tried to use soothing language to calm Ryan down while achieving his own goals.
"Can."
Ray breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Ryan wasn't an unreasonable guy after all, and that he could still be communicated with properly.
Ryan raised an eyebrow, unaware that Ray had overheard his every thought.
"Can I tell my younger brother about this? He's too young, and I'm worried he'll be scared."
"Do as you please, it's your prerogative. It's already late."
Ray understood the implication in Ryan's words.
"Then I won't disturb your rest any longer."
"Um."
Lai returned to his room in a daze, not expecting things to turn out this way.
It was as if he had picked something up heavily and then put it down gently. What he considered a serious situation was resolved in just a few words, leaving him feeling somewhat empty.
So far, the situation is not bad. He has not suffered any losses, and his home has an extra layer of protection. But is this really a good thing?
Tata dashed back into the house in a flash. The moonlight shone on him, making him look like a white lightning bolt.
His fur was so well-maintained that the moonlight made him impossible to hide.
Lian had already noticed the little monster eavesdropping in the shadows and the figure hurriedly following behind.
This human wasn't entirely useless; at least he won the genuine affection of the monster cub.
The moonlight was beautiful tonight, and the magical elements around the sapling were abundant, which made Ryan feel very good.
"Tata?"
"The beast is here!"
Lai had previously said that Tata couldn't go on the bed when her paws were dirty, and Tata was now obediently standing on the ground.
"Can I tell Neil about what you can talk about? He already saw what happened yesterday, and he'll find out sooner or later anyway, so there's no need to hide it from him anymore."
"Okay, Ray, the beasts all listen, and it's alright if the four Lear families know."
"Thank you, Tata."
"Hehe, you're welcome, we're the four of us!"
"Um."
Lei chuckled and bent down to stroke the top of Tata's head.
If Neil is overprotected, he will always live under his wing, which is why he sent Neil to study.
It's hard for a child born in a small village to get ahead. The sudden loss of both parents cut short Neil's childhood. No matter how much care and attention he gives Neil, he can't make up for the regrets that have already been lost.
So, isn't letting Neil learn, face challenges, and grow the best option?
At that moment, it seemed like Ray had figured something out.
Have the horns on your head grown a bit?
"Really? Really? Really!"
"some."
"Oh! The beast has finally grown up!"
The little monster happily rolled around on the ground. Looking at the innocent and carefree Tata, Lai couldn't help but start to worry about its magic core.
Tata is growing up day by day, and their time is running out.
The days are long and the nights are short; the night passed quickly.
When Neil opened his eyes again, it was already bright outside. He jumped out of bed, slipped on a pair of shoes, and went downstairs. He saw Ray taking bread out of the oven and saw that he was unharmed. He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why are you in such a hurry to come down? Go wash your face."
"good."
Neil walked back to his room, looking back every few steps, to change into clean clothes.
"Ah!" Neil exclaimed softly, realizing he hadn't greeted his brother yet.
"Good morning, brother!"
Good morning, Neil.
Good morning, Tata!
"Good jujube sang, Lear, ha!"
Tata yawned widely.
"?"
"!"
"Brother! Tata spoke!!!"
"Um."
"How could Tata possibly speak? Am I still dreaming?"
Neil slapped himself and felt the pain.
Tata looked at Neil as if he were an idiot.
"Lear! Beasts are powerful magical beasts, how could they not speak their minds?"
"elder brother?"
Neil asked Rye for help and received an affirmative answer from Rye.
"This matter is known only to a few of us. Don't tell anyone, or it will attract the attention of those with ulterior motives."
"Um!"
Neil nodded vigorously. The fact that Tata could talk was so shocking that it made Neil quite excited.
Come to think of it, which kid hasn't fantasized about having a super awesome and unique friend?
"Tata, was your original name Tata?"
Neil was very curious.
"The beast is called Amanta, the smartest little monster in the four forests. There's nothing wrong with the beast Tata."
"Ah! What a coincidence!"
Neil's eyes were shining.
"Tata, why don't you usually let me hug you?"
After much deliberation, he finally asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time.
Tata gets angry whenever this is brought up. Doesn't she know you can't touch a beast's butt and belly? She always touches the beast's belly and butt. Don't beasts have any dignity?
Tata turned her back to Neil and refused to say anything more.
"We can talk about this later, we're about to eat."
"Okay, brother."
Lai took the jam to the long table and scratched Tata's chin.
"Dinner's ready, Tata. Don't fight with Neil."
"There was no argument. The beast just didn't want others to touch its belly and butt."
"Then you can tell Neil yourself."
"don't want."
Tata threw a little tantrum.
"Then I'll tell Neil."
"Um."
Neil essentially acquiesced.
At the dinner table, Lei and Neil quietly finished their breakfast, and Tata also finished his portion of meat.
After organizing his thoughts, Ray briefly explained the current situation at home to Neil.
"So, brother, yesterday it was the 'little elf' who took over your body. He just wanted to taste the sweet and sour pork ribs? And this situation may happen again in the future."
"Yes, that's about right."
"Then why did He choose your body over someone else's?"
Neil frowned, clearly disgusted and disapproving of the matter.
"I don't know either, maybe it's because this body is so useful?"
Ray told a really lame joke, and Neil glared at Ray with a huff.
Okay, that joke was really lame, so Ray chose to mute himself.
"Can't you refuse, brother?"
Lei shook his head.
“Okay,” Neil looked very disappointed. “Will it have any effect on your health? You’re not in very good health to begin with.”
Are you unwell?
Ray questioned Neil's words, feeling perfectly fine and having not been sick for over a year...
"I'm not sure, I don't feel unwell at the moment."
"All right."
"Ray, are you home?"
Gug's voice came from outside the door. Lai got up and went to the door. He saw Gug standing outside and unlocked the door with his key.
It was still early, and Lei hadn't opened the door yet.
"What's wrong?"
Lai looked at Gug's angry face, his own face turning red with rage.
"Ray, I need your help with something."
"Please tell me not to rush."
After spending so much time together, Guge had long regarded Laiyi as his own grandson, but he wouldn't bother him with ordinary matters, so it seemed that something big had happened.
"I would like to ask you to help me send someone back."
Who is it?
"A complete stranger."
Gu Ge became increasingly angry, and was almost ready to curse out loud in the street.
"Lay, I'm not afraid to admit it, but my son actually dumped his grandson here with me this morning in order to get his so-called treasure from me!"
This is no befitting a grandfather! What sins have I committed in my life to raise such a son!
"Don't worry, I'll go with you to take a look."
"elder brother?"
Neil stood at the door watching the two people who were about to leave; he had heard everything they had said.
What if Brother Lamb comes later?
"Wait until I get back, then stay home and don't wander off."
"Okay, brother, don't worry, you go ahead."
The Gug family and the Lai family were only fifty meters apart. Gug had recovered well from his injury and was walking fast. The two of them arrived at Gug's house in a few minutes, with Tata following behind.
"Great-grandfather".
The boy stood awkwardly by the gate, watching his great-grandfather return. Behind him was an adult who looked intimidating.
"Where is your grandfather, Manler?"
Guge asked the boy.
Manler clutched his fingers, looking as if he was about to cry.
"I don't like children who cry all the time."
Hearing Guge say that, Manle forced back his tears.
"Grandpa said he would take me to visit my great-grandpa, and then he just left me at the door and left. Waaah."
Manler answered through sobs, feeling increasingly aggrieved. Finally, unable to bear the grievances in her heart, she burst into tears.
"Wow! I want my mom! I want my mom! I don't like grandpa anymore!"
Manler cried and wailed as he spoke, looking utterly pitiful. Lai noticed the veins bulging on Gug's forehead.
"Shall I take him home for you?"
"Thank you for your trouble, Ray. That's exactly what I meant. My old bones can't go that far anymore."
Gu Ge's tone was filled with deep helplessness.
"How could she have given birth to such a child? She would do anything for material possessions, stray from the right path, cheat and swindle, and even scheme against her own grandson."
Gug became increasingly angry as he spoke. As people get older, their emotions can easily become too intense and cause them to faint. Lai tried to persuade Gug while also comforting the wailing Manle, and he was at his wits' end.
"Mangle, do you remember where your home is?"
"I...I don't remember very clearly, ah! Grandpa doesn't want me anymore!"
Manler cried harder and harder, as if he wanted to vent all his grievances at once.
“I know where it is, Ray, come in with me.”
Lai followed Gug into the room, picked up Manler's luggage, and led him in as well. Gug saw this but didn't say anything.
Ray wiped Manler's face and poured him a glass of water, which he drank in one gulp while sobbing.
"Lay, sit down and wait a moment, I'll go find the address for you."
"good."
"Would you like another drink?"
The boy nodded, and Ray poured him another full glass of water.
When did you arrive?
"Waaah, it was just dawn in the morning."
"Then you've been waiting outside for a long time."
"It's alright."
Manler had stopped crying, but her body was still sobbing uncontrollably.
"Don't stand, come and sit down."
Manler slumped onto the chair, his bottom barely touching the edge. He looked timid, like a little mouse.
He looks like a very well-behaved child.
The sound of rummaging through drawers and cabinets came from Guge's room.
"uncle."
"What's wrong?"
"I need to pee."
"Okay, Uncle will take you there."
Ray took Manler out, and Jenny lay lazily on the floor, not wanting to move at all.
