Guilongchao: I played the domineering CEO to the bone.

Zhu Sha, with her short legs, darted into deserted bushes and dark alleys—despite Min Moyou's attempts to reason with her for a while, Zhu Sha still hadn't let go of her prejudices against most humans.

Although her current strength at the Gold Rank is enough to crush most humans, she simply doesn't like to transform into human form when she has no one to rely on—the main reason being that Zhu Sha's human form is not complete, with her fox ears and tail still showing, which would attract unnecessary trouble.

So, after she left Minmoyou, she transformed into a little red fox, always choosing deserted paths to walk on, hopping and skipping as if she had returned to the jungle!

I'll be meeting my golden-eyed husband, whom I personally chose, very soon! I'm so excited!

Before long, Zhu Sha arrived at the green belt on the side of the road directly opposite Longchao Pavilion, looking at the old and dilapidated building called Longchao Pavilion...

That's it, right?

From a distance of about 100 meters, Zhu Sha's keen sense of smell had already detected Tong's aura!

I haven't seen her in so long! I miss her so much! I miss her scent!

After using Minmo You for quite some time, Zhusha couldn't resist wanting to try something different.

only......

Having reached the Gold Rank, Zhu Sha's perception was much stronger than before—she could clearly feel a powerful spell enveloping the entire Dragon Tide Pavilion, subtly revealing a sense of danger.

In the dim light, she seemed to see complex runes drifting around and above the Dragon Tide Pavilion in some incomprehensible pattern.

A flicker of hesitation crossed Zhu Sha's eyes. Her animalistic instincts told her that place was dangerous! Dangerous!! Dangerous!!

It was early morning, just as dawn was breaking, and Zhu Sha's original enthusiasm was shrouded in a layer of gloom, much like the sky itself.

Just as Zhu Sha hesitated, she suddenly saw a familiar figure...

................

Today is payday again for the non-permanent members of Longchao Pavilion!

As soon as it was light, Xiao Guang rushed towards Longchao Pavilion—this girl must be the first to receive her salary!

Although Xiao Guang spends most of his time serving Min Moyou now...

With enough to eat and drink, good clothes, a comfortable place to live, and good sleep, there's no need to work two jobs.

But she still couldn't let go of Longchao Pavilion, couldn't let go of the stubborn Sister Tong...

So I didn't quit my part-time job at Longchao Pavilion.

Initially, Min Moyou's plan was to have Xiaoguang act as an undercover agent to trick... kidnap... no, persuade Tong to come over as soon as possible, and then, in the meantime, teach Xiaoran, Zhusha, and Wuchang about modern lifestyles and principles of conduct.

Then Minmoyou discovered... Xiaoguang herself was confused—it's probably only because Biaozi, that social cat, was watching over her that she's been able to live healthily until now.

After Xiao Guang arrived, Min Moyou had to teach her as well.

Although sometimes the lessons end up in bed...

but!

Teaching Xiaoguang and Wuchang, those two silly girls, is really torturous!

So if Xiao Guang is interested in working part-time at Longchao Pavilion, Min Moyou will be happy to have some free time—it's not like he only has these two problem children to keep him company.

Wuchang and Xiaoran had also long since met their demise at the hands of Min Moyou, the details of which will not be elaborated here.

Basically, Wuchang raised some questions that were difficult to explain, and then Minmoyou's teaching led to a sexual encounter. Xiaoran couldn't bear to let little Wuchang bear it alone, so she had no choice but to sacrifice herself to feed the tiger...

Impermanence is over a hundred years old! It's not illegal!

As for Xiao Guang, after leaving the Dragon Domain that day, he adapted to the change of "boss becoming husband" the very next day.

The main reason was that on the day she came back, Uncle Biaozi, the social cat, chattered on and on with her, giving Xiaoguang a lot of psychological counseling.

Heaven knows how much effort Biaozi put into hoping that Xiaoguang could have a stable source of support.

What? You mean Dragon Tide Pavilion and Tong?

Biaozi: Do you think I don't know whether Longchaoge and Tong are reliable or not?

.........

"Woooooo~"

Xiao Guang arrived at the entrance of Longchao Pavilion in high spirits. Just as he was about to ring the doorbell, a soft and charming moaning sound suddenly came from his feet.

A beautiful red fox appeared beside Little Barefoot, its big eyes blinking brightly as it looked at her.

Wow~ What an adorable little guy~!

Xiao Guang lowered his hand from the doorbell and hugged the little red fox on the ground, showering it with affection.

I haven't been hungry lately...? Why does this fox seem so handsome to me?

During this time, when Xiao Guang was with Min Moyou, he did see Zhu Sha—but he never saw Zhu Sha in fox form.

Xiao Guang couldn't quite remember what happened in that Dragon Realm. She didn't see Zhu Sha when she woke up, and she felt confused after waking up from the live broadcast she watched in the illusion...

Moreover, Xiao Guang had no idea how many sisters Min Moyou had found for her before her, and simply assumed that Zhu Sha was one of the sisters Min Moyou had found for her before her.

Therefore, Xiao Guang failed to recognize Zhu Sha's identity at first glance.

Zhu Sha didn't immediately reveal her identity. The closer she got to the Dragon Tide Pavilion, the stronger the oppressive force surrounding it became, and she dared not make any rash moves...

Besides, Xiaoguang was just about to go in, so why not let her go and scout ahead?

Besides... it's quite fun to snuggle up with Hikari in fox form!

Under Xiao Guang's caresses, the little fox Zhu Sha squinted comfortably and kept whimpering.

The little fox's reaction made Xiao Guang think that he must be some kind of naturally kind-hearted animal!

Without saying a word, he was about to take the little fox into the Dragon Tide Pavilion to get some snacks for free, and he secretly made up his mind to adopt this cute little guy!

"Are you hungry, little one? How about I take you to get something to eat?"

If we're talking about age, Xiao Guang calling the little fox "Grandpa" would be too low a rank for him...

Xiao Guang rang the doorbell of Longchao Pavilion, as if he was about to bring the little fox into the pavilion.

Zhu Sha was terrified!

He quickly jumped off Xiao Guang and put some distance between them.

"Hmm? What's wrong? Are you shy?"

Xiao Guang was startled by the little fox's violent reaction, thinking that he hadn't been careful when he touched it.

On second thought, I realized—

"That's true, not everyone is as popular with animals as I am~"

"It's okay! You stay here and wait for Sister Xiaoguang to get you something delicious~"

"Ow~"

The little fox, Zhu Sha, looked up and howled, indicating its agreement.

Seeing this, Xiao Guang was extremely proud—it even responds to me!

Xiao Guang calmly pushed open the door of Longchao Pavilion—the electric door lock had just been unlocked by Master Du who had heard the doorbell—and as a human with low strength, he felt no sense of danger emanating from around Longchao Pavilion.

Perhaps it's because in the eyes of the Mirage Boss who set up the formation, this guy is no threat at all?

After a while, Xiao Guang came out of Longchao Pavilion, looking shifty and sneaking around, rummaging through his pockets and pulling out all sorts of snacks.

"Eat up, eat up!"

..............

At this moment, inside the Dragon Tide Pavilion.

Early this morning, Tong, who had just returned to Longchao Pavilion after finishing her commission late last night, was woken up by Master Du.

"Director, wake up. Wake up! I need your help with something."

Mr. Du squatted down seriously and earnestly beside the foot of the old single sofa where Tong was lying, his tone also very serious.

"Well....."

Tong opened her eyes groggily.

"What time is it now?"

Tong picked up the little spirit toy, which was out of power but had been forgotten to be charged the night before, glanced at it, and only saw her own bewildered face reflected on the black screen. Reluctantly, she put the little spirit toy down.

"Mr. Du... is there something you can't say before I wake up?"

She rubbed her eyes, barely regaining some clarity, and then realized—!

"Old Cat Du! You barged into my room without my permission again?!"

He kicked out at Master Du!

Is it jade feet smeared on the face?

No, it is not.

Last night, Tong was so tired when she returned to Longchao Pavilion after her mission that she didn't change her clothes, take a shower, or even take off her shoes. She just lay down on the sofa and fell asleep.

What greeted Master Du was, of course, the dark, worn-out soles of his shoes!

Master Du was agile and easily dodged Tong's attack with a somersault.

"I'm very sorry, Director. I will be more careful next time."

After spinning once in the air, Mr. Du landed gracefully and steadily. He adjusted the monocle on his cat-like face and said in a deep voice:

"After all, this is an urgent matter. If things continue like this, our Dragon Tide Pavilion will suffer a huge blow!"

"What's going on?"

Seeing how serious Master Du was, Tong also turned over and straightened his attitude by a third.

"We've been robbed."

Master Du's cat-like eyes narrowed, his gaze sharp as a hawk's.

"Looting?!"

Tong was so startled that she sat bolt upright on the sofa—Longchao Pavilion was already poor enough!

If this place gets looted again, will I still be able to pay my salary?!

"Yes. Today, the monthly snacks that Longchao Pavilion provides to its employees were completely sold out."

Master Du spoke with an extremely serious tone about something that seemed trivial at all.

"We will strictly investigate such unethical workplace behavior in the future! After my stakeout and investigation, I have finally found the culprit!"

"She is—"

Tong was also affected by the tense atmosphere created by Master Du, and they all asked the same question as Master Du:

"She is?"

But why should this director be nervous about a few bags of snacks?

wrong!

What's the difference between this behavior and snatching food from a tiger's mouth right under my nose?!

What a thief! This kind of thing should definitely be taken seriously!

There were only a few packets of snacks—this director, a regular at Longchao Pavilion, hasn't even had time to eat them lately due to working overtime! Who dares to be so audacious?!

"Xiaoguang."

After a long, suspenseful pause, Mr. Du revealed the suspect's name.

"Hey! You're being so mysterious. I thought it was something serious. It's just that Xiao Guang took a few extra snacks!"

"Go away, go away. This director is going back to sleep."

Tong lay back down again and waved his hand to dismiss Master Du.

Xiao Guang? It's alright now.

That guy must be so poor he can't afford to eat again, right?

What can you do if your own sister is involved?

Spoil them!

Tong still followed her habitual thinking to figure out why Xiao Guang took Longchao Pavilion snacks—little did she know that Xiao Guang, who had followed Min Moyou, now had assets that were almost a thousand times greater than Tong's.

This is the meaning of the saying: "Those who understand the times are the heroes."

As for why they took snacks from Longchao Pavilion, it was probably just for convenience.

However, this move, which adds insult to injury to Longchao Pavilion, seems rather unethical.

It's alright, Xiao Guang is oblivious; he never even thought of that. It was all unintentional.

Seeing Tong's nonchalant attitude, Master Du frowned slightly, patted the sofa leg, and said in a deep voice:

“These are all included in the welfare budget. If they are all taken away each time, we will not be able to recycle the rest, which is a heavy blow to the budget!”

"Director, you don't handle money, you don't understand; but now I'm explaining the seriousness of the matter to you, so please take it seriously."

Tong turned her back to Master Du, pouted, and didn't really want to listen to its nonsense.

"If it weren't for the fact that you, Mr. Du, always hide the snacks in various secluded corners, enjoying the employee welfare snacks would be more tiring than a treasure hunt—do you think you'd even have a chance to reclaim such a small amount of stuff?"

“She managed to find Xiao Guang, that’s because she’s capable.”

"What do you mean by that? So you can actually give it to us, but we can't actually eat it, right? That's quite the capitalist skill..."

Seeing that Tong still didn't take it seriously, Master Du had no choice but to add more suspicious points to arouse Tong's vigilance!

"That's not quite right... Moreover, when I discovered this and questioned Xiaoguang, I found her behavior very unusual. She was stammering and hesitant, which made me somewhat worried..."

At this point, Tong finally mustered her strength—after all, Hikaru's ability to recognize danger was almost zero, so there might really be something wrong with him.

"Oh my, Mr. Du went through all that trouble, turns out he was worried about his employees, huh?"

"Of course. It's my duty to care about my employees, don't make fun of me."

I almost believed it! I'm dying of laughter.

Tong looked at Master Du with a mocking expression, making Master Du feel guilty and take a few steps back.

"In short, I would appreciate it if you, Director, would take the time to investigate this matter thoroughly."

Tong stretched, shook her head, and painfully got out of bed... oh no, I mean, got out of the "sofa".

"Okay, I see."

"I already have some guesses about this... Leave it to me."

"Sigh... I'm destined to be a workaholic."
