Chapter 58
Joe returned to the banquet, and for a moment he felt that almost everyone was looking at him, which did not seem to be an illusion.
After the original human brutally beat up Lu Xiangjun, that good-for-nothing playboy, everyone knew that the original human that General Ji brought was the one that had recently become the most popular on the terminal network.
Lu Xiangjun was extremely arrogant, relying on the power of his aunt and father. He offended many people, and many were afraid of his power and could not do anything about him. Moreover, most people looked down on his behavior. When they heard that he was being beaten to the ground by a primitive man, they all secretly cheered that he had been beaten well!
Everyone expressed their respect and affection for Qiao Ye with their eyes, not daring to take the initiative to chat with him. Firstly, they were afraid of General Killer Ji; secondly, they were afraid of the original human's attack power; and thirdly, they were afraid that Lu Xiangjun would hold a grudge and transfer his anger to them.
Wei Liangguan suddenly appeared from somewhere, and when he saw Qiao Ye coming over, he excitedly lifted him up high and praised, "Well done, that's really impressive! Tell your uncle, did he provoke you first?"
Wei Liangguan didn't expect him to answer. He asked the question himself, then shook the original man's head up and down a couple of times, pretending to nod, and continued to praise him: "So he provoked you first. He deserved to be beaten. Remember, if anyone bullies you, fight back. If you can't beat them, come back to me or your master. We'll back you up, understand? Don't be a coward. A good Yuan can't suffer a loss, understand?"
Even Ji Fang agreed: "You did a good job. You applied the fighting techniques that Zhang Zhenyun taught you quite well!"
Wei Liangguan hugged Qiao Ye to his chest and moved her around for a while, somewhat excited: "What a wonderful girl! My little darling is very smart too, but you're the one I can never have."
Wei Liangguan brought his nose close to his neck and took a deep breath. He felt a refreshing sensation rush to the top of his head and was instantly stunned: "My God, Qiao Ye actually works well with me! I feel like it's even better than Xiao Guai! Ji Fang, you have to let me rest for a couple of days!"
Qiao also felt that Wei Liangguan was even more terrifying than Lu Xiangjun from before. He struggled and stretched out his hands to Ji Fang for help. Ji Fang took him and resolutely refused: "Soldiers can be lent, but people cannot!"
Wei Liangguan immediately put on a show of deep regret for him: "If I had known that Xiao Guai would get into trouble that day, I should have flown back to save it, and then saved Qiao as well. What a wonderful thing that would have been!"
"Since I can't have her, then let her breed. I'll pick one, and I'll arrange the mother's genetic makeup."
Qiao, unable to bear it any longer, stuck a foot out from Ji Fang's arms and kicked Wei Liangguan squarely in the chest. Then, a string of profanities spurred from his mouth. Realizing Wei Liangguan wouldn't understand, he texted Ji Fang: "Can I add him on TikTok? I want to curse him out!"
Ji Fang raised an eyebrow, seemingly eager to stir things up, and said to Wei Liangguan, "You added Qiao Ye as a friend, right? He said he wants to curse you out."
Wei Liangguan touched his aching heart, somewhat confused: "How? To insult me? How? Was his yelling just now insulting me? It was clearly different from Xiaoguai's angry yelling."
Then Ji Fang sent Wei Liangguan's terminal code to Qiao Ye. Qiao Ye added Wei Liangguan's miTu account through the terminal code. Wei Liangguan saw that the profile picture was Qiao Ye's miTu profile picture and asked Ji Fang, "Why did you make a miTu account for Qiao Ye?"
Joe took a deep breath and replied immediately:
[This is my account]
Don't say things like "I need to be bred" again, do you hear me? I'm really angry!
[If you like it, go and create your own, understand? Just because you want to be in heat doesn't mean everyone else does.]
Also, keep your distance from me. Little Darling is your original, I'm not. Don't suck me up!
Do you understand? If not, I can have my master repeat it to you!
Ji Fang watched Qiao Ye's warning the whole time and burst out laughing. He realized that his little pet had quite a temper. It seemed that Wei Liangguan's talk about breeding him had indeed offended him.
Wei Liangguan was also a little confused when he saw the message. He looked at Ji Fang and asked, "Did you send this to me?"
Ji Fang shook his head and showed the terminal on Qiao Ye's wrist to Wei Liangguan. Wei Liangguan was a little startled: "You actually installed a terminal on a Yuanren? No, no, it's that a Yuanren can actually use a terminal. What kind of high technology is this? How come I didn't know about it?"
"No, no, the original man can actually talk to the Cohen people? He can actually talk to them? Ji Fang, are you kidding me?"
Seeing Wei Liangguan's excited and exaggerated reaction, Ji Fang reminded him, "Didn't you already install a terminal on your original humans?"
Wei Liangguan seemed to remember that Ji Fang had asked him this before, but he denied it: "That was just a positioning system, how would I know you were installing a terminal!"
Wei Liangguan tried sending a message to Qiao Ye: [Are you sure you can communicate using the terminal?]
Qiao Ye: [Of course you're talking to me!]
Wei Liangguan cupped Qiao Ye's face in his hands and looked into its eyes: "Is it really you?"
Qiao slapped his hand away: [Believe it or not, I'm exhausted, blocked, deleted!]
When Wei Liangguan saw the exclamation mark he had sent, indicating that he was no longer a friend, he immediately apologized: "No, no, no, it was just the first time I spoke to a Yuanren, and I was a little shocked. Please give me another chance. I understand. I will never say anything about breeding again. I will keep my distance from you and promise not to make you angry, okay?"
Wei Liangguan acted as if he were coaxing a little darling, bowing his head and admitting his mistake with a good attitude, so Qiao gave him another chance.
Wei Liangguan was like a curious child, asking all sorts of questions, and Qiao also felt that giving him a chance was a mistake.
How did you learn to recognize and type? How did your owner teach you?
[You're probably a boy, right? Do you prefer male or female protagonists?]
[You're already a mature woman, don't you really want to be in a relationship? You should know that some women have lost their fertility. You're so smart, if you had a baby, it would definitely be as smart as you.]
How did you primitive people communicate with each other? Did different calls mean different things?
...
After Qiao was pestered by Wei Liangguan to answer countless questions, it was finally time to go back, and Qiao felt a sense of relief.
I ate delicious food and drank fine wine today, got into a fight, and was harassed. Now I just want to sleep; I'm exhausted, both physically and mentally.
Wei Liangguan, noticing Qiao Ye's condition, asked, "Do you want Uncle to carry you?"
Qiao shook his head. After this lesson of adding more people, he decided not to add any more people in the future. Wei Liangguan had no sense of boundaries at all.
The only Cohen people he can talk to right now are Ji Fang, Ji Feng, and Jiang Yi. Now, with Wei Liangguan added to the mix, Jiang Yi is relatively restrained towards him, unlike Wei Liangguan who is so unrestrained and curious.
As for the other people added in the live stream, after Ji Fang saw Jiang Yi send him a message last time, Ji Fang, as the owner, filtered all his contact information, deleted all irrelevant people, changed miTu's account so that people couldn't find him, and changed his profile picture to a cartoon-filtered version of his selfie.
Ji Fang also gave him a stern warning that he could not add people casually in the future and that he must get his permission first.
Joe also has to recognize that most Cohen people are curious about pets that can talk and have Cohen intelligence, and their sense of superiority at the top of the food chain means they won't treat you like one of their own.
Although he always felt out of place in this world as an oddball and occasionally felt lonely, having someone as overly enthusiastic as Wei Liangguan would only be a burden to him.
Ji Fang noticed that Qiao Ye seemed a bit down, so he picked him up and asked, "Are you tired?"
Qiao hummed in agreement, then leaned on Ji Fang's shoulder and closed her eyes.
Looking at Qiao Ye, Wei Liangguan said to Ji Fang with some emotion, "Why do I feel like Qiao Ye is almost ready to speak? He's just like a person."
Ji Fang patted Qiao Ye on the back and said, "Yeah, he's just a kid, but he's very smart!"
——
Two days later, Ji Feng contacted Qiao Ye and told him to pack up and that his assistant would pick him up and take him to the original station.
The butler, Ling Yu, prepared a suitcase for Qiao Ye, which contained a change of clothes, toiletries, and Primal Human Food. Qiao Ye took out the Primal Human Food, indicating that he didn't need it. He was going on a trip, so why should he eat Primal Human Food? It was dry, hard, and tasteless, and he found it unpalatable.
But Ling Yu didn't give him a chance to refuse; his rice bowl was packed up and put inside.
Early in the morning, the person who was supposed to pick him up hadn't arrived yet. Ji Fang had to go to a meeting today, and Qiao also got up very early.
Before leaving for the meeting, Ji Fang carefully instructed Qiao Ye: "Don't wander around when you get there, or you'll get caught and sold to the original human flesh shop."
"Message me anytime. Protect yourself. Don't reveal that you have a terminal unless I give you permission. Do you understand?"
Qiao nodded, knowing that Ji Fang wanted to protect him.
He was picked up by Ji Feng's agent, Liang Ping, and an assistant, Xu Lele. Li Cheng helped him into the flying car, and he naturally got in and sat down. Then he heard Liang Ping ask Li Cheng with some confusion, "It just rides in the car like that? Isn't it in a cage?"
Li Cheng explained, "Qiao doesn't need a cage. If you're worried when you get out of the car, just take the leash out of its luggage compartment."
Liang Ping was somewhat bewildered. She wasn't the original human's owner, so how could the original human listen to her? What if it became uncontrollable? Although she had never raised an original human before, she had seen one go berserk and even a leash couldn't hold it back!
However, Li Cheng's imposing military uniform and his absolutely trustworthy attitude left Liang Ping with no room for doubt, causing her to swallow her words of refusal.
After the car started and sped onto the flight path, Liang Ping was still somewhat worried.
Liang Ping had a general idea that Ji Feng's family was not simple. After seeing the location of this villa estate, she knew that Ji Feng's family was not only rich, but also powerful. Although the location was low-key, it was not a place where you could live just because you were rich.
Especially after seeing Li Cheng holding the original human, Liang Ping was shocked to realize that Ji Feng's family background might be even more powerful than she had imagined.
Liang Ping knew that Qiao could also chat via the terminal, but she was still somewhat skeptical. She looked at the man who wasn't afraid of people at all, sat quietly in his seat, and even knew to fasten his seatbelt. She thought, "Will it be okay to take him across like this? Will he think about jumping out halfway through?"
Thinking of this, Liang Ping hurriedly asked the driver to lock the child lock.
Looking at the quiet Yuan Ren, Liang Ping's curiosity was piqued. She tentatively asked, "Your name is Qiao Ye, right? I'm Ji Feng's manager. We met in a video last time. Do you remember me?"
Qiao glanced at her and saw the curiosity in her eyes. He neither nodded nor shook his head, but just tilted his head to look at her.
When facing strangers, he still tries to maintain a normal, human-like reaction.
Xu Lele, the assistant who came along, was quite fond of pets. She was somewhat surprised to see Sister Ping talking to the original person: "Sister Ping, can it understand?"
Liang Ping said, "I'm not sure, so I'll try to communicate with it."
Liang Ping certainly remembered that Ji Feng had said that Qiao's ability to communicate needed to be kept secret. She naturally knew that some advanced military equipment was a state secret and could not be disclosed casually.
It's amazing that a primitive human could communicate directly with humans. If people knew about it, it would be incredible.
Xu Lele was also a little worried: "What if it gets stressed later?"
After learning that she was going to pick up the internet celebrity Yuanren, Xu Lele prepared some snacks and toys to coax him. At this moment, she took them out and teased Qiao Ye: "Look, your sister brought you some delicious food and fun things, they're all for you!"
