70: Chapter 69: The Cat Who’s Extremely Buddha-like 70: Chapter 69: The Cat Who’s Extremely Buddha-like Lu Zixun’s interest was undoubtedly piqued by that statement.
He looked up, puzzled, at Yue Sichen.
Knowing full well that he came from STO, did Yue Sichen dare to let him endorse advertisements for Yuesha Group?
Was it a case of the boldness of artistry, or did Yue Sichen simply fear not that Lu Zixun would discover her identity?
“Ding—Joy Value from Yue Sichen +500 detected.”
Hearing the System Prompt Sound, Lu Zixun was even more astonished.
What exactly was Yue Sichen so happy about?
“Because I believe that humans and the Abnormal Creatures mentioned by STO can coexist normally.”
As Yue Sichen said this, she flipped through a drawer and pulled out a photo: “Look, this is the proof.”
He tilted his head to look at the photo, which captured the warm smiles of a family of three.
Lu Zixun frowned and watched for a while, not understanding what Yue Sichen was trying to convey.
Reaching out to pick up the photo and putting it back in the drawer, Yue Sichen said with a smile, “Five years ago, Blood Worms already arrived on this planet.
While there are indeed murderous ones among them, there are also those who desire peace.”
“That must be a minority.”
Unswayed by Yue Sichen’s attempt to lure him, Lu Zixun spoke indifferently, “As long as Abnormal Creatures need to prey on humans for survival, humans and Abnormal Creatures will never be able to coexist harmoniously.”
Yue Sichen paused deliberately, her voice rising, “that Blood Worms can survive without consuming the flesh and blood of humans?”
Upon hearing this, Lu Zixun fell silent for a moment.
If what Yue Sichen claimed was true, then there might be a sliver of possibility for peaceful coexistence.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Zixun still shook his head: “Even so, peaceful coexistence would still be impossible.”
Supporting her chin with her hand, Yue Sichen’s eyes twinkled with mirth, “I took control of you, returned to STO, and reported that no Blood Worm Queen was found within the Yuesha Group?
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Zixun was taken aback, his hairs standing on end.
However, without hearing any System Prompt Sound, Lu Zixun calmed down again.
Looking at Yue Sichen, Lu Zixun said coolly, “You wouldn’t do that.
If you had wanted to, you would have acted already.”
“I like smart kitties.”
Applause sounded near his ear, and Yue Sichen, smiling, said, “Making you the spokesperson was also part of the plan, otherwise Ye Xun would have killed you already.”
So the voice he had heard that day hadn’t been a hallucination; it was indeed Ye Xun’s voice.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Zixun’s tail swept across the table restlessly, “Cut to the chase, what exactly do you want to do?”
I just want you to provide the location of STO’s encirclement operation.”
The corners of her mouth curved upward in a smile, Yue Sichen continued as she looked at Lu Zixun, who wanted to object, “Of course, I do not ask you to betray STO.”
“The photo you just saw, one of the people in it is a Blood Worm, yet they manage to live together harmoniously and even have a daughter.”
“To humans, Abnormal Creatures may not be manipulative, but isn’t STO the same for Abnormal Creatures?”
“Moreover, as a cat who has awakened Spiritual Wisdom, is working for STO really going to earn you their protection?”
Yue Sichen’s eloquent words were like enchanting siren calls, causing Lu Zixun to fall into a state of confusion for a moment.
According to Yue Sichen, among Abnormal Creatures, there are those who prefer peace.
She was one of them, simply wishing to survive.
At first listen, Yue Sichen’s words seemed reasonable.
But when Lu Zixun thought about it more carefully, he felt something was amiss.
After pondering for a while, Lu Zixun finally realized what was wrong.
Yue Sichen’s arguments were from the perspective of a Blood Worm, such biased reasoning had its flaws.
Lu Zixun shook his head, refusing Yue Sichen’s request.
“In the past, people were nothing but hounds,” she said with no trace of anger, chuckling softly, “What about you?
Lu Zixun replied indifferently, unconcerned, “After being exposed, at least I won’t be considered by STO as turning to Abnormal Creatures, right?”
Seeing neither his defenses breached nor his heart swayed, and that he was impervious to any tactic, Yue Sichen sighed and shook her head helplessly.
She leaned forward on the table, putting aside her earlier commanding demeanor, a picture of dejection, “Ah!
Negotiations really aren’t my thing.”
Watching Yue Sichen’s sudden change of demeanor, Lu Zixun flicked his tail.
For a moment, distinguishing which Yue Sichen was the real one became difficult.
“You’re quite a difficult kitty to talk to.”
Tossing a coquettish look at Lu Zixun, Yue Sichen suggested, “How about this?
Give me a location of the encirclement, and I’ll give you a plan about the Blood Worm outbreak?”
Lu Zixun shook his head, mimicking Yue Sichen, resting his head on the table, “I’m just a cat.
Why bother with so much, with no tangible reward?
It’s taxing and all for nothing, better to be a carefree cat.”
“Ding—Affinity Value from Yue Sichen +500 detected.”
Amused by Lu Zixun’s words, Yue Sichen hadn’t expected Lu Zixun to be such a ‘Zen’ cat.
“Why did you take on this mission then?”
Smiling, Yue Sichen asked the question she was most eager to know.
“I’m just a temp; I was filling in because they were short on people.”
His reply was nonchalant.
Lu Zixun looked at Yue Sichen, revealing his fangs with a smile, “Now, as soon as I return and report, my mission is over.”
Yue Sichen watched Lu Zixun for a moment, then confidently smiled, “You won’t do it.”
Lu Zixun blinked, unclear why Yue Sichen was so confident.
“For one, helping STO gets you nothing.
Secondly, I haven’t done anything bad to humans, and thirdly, I’ve been good to you, didn’t I make you a famous internet cat?”
Playfully, she unveiled her last point.
Yue Sichen also blinked at Lu Zixun, “Do these three points suffice?”
Lu Zixun nodded, his whiskers twitching, “It’s quite refreshing to meet a Queen-level being for the first time.”
“If you want to do it, then do it.
I want to go see the world too.
Because I have to guard the Blood Worms below, I’ve been trapped here.”
Like opening a floodgate, Yue Sichen and Lu Zixun complained to each other.
In the midst of their enjoyable conversation, a knock came at the door.
Just as he was about to say something, his eyes narrowed at the sight of Lu Zixun lying on the table.
Transforming, he became a streak of light, rapidly approaching Lu Zixun.
