332 Home Sweet Home! ? (1/2)
”D*mn it! How can I possibly lose to Fish Ball?” Matcha collapsed to the floor with disappointment sagging through his body, even his tail lay limply next on the ground. A series of ear-splitting shrieks were also heard.
A radiating smile flashed across Fish Ball's face when he saw just how pathetic Matcha was, ”There were at least 50 female cats that came for the blind date. That means he was rejected 50 times!”
Bam! Matcha clutched tightly against his chest and felt his heartbeat growing weaker and weaker. His expression was totally devoid of any spirit or energy.
Zhao Yao tried to salvage the situation with all sorts of ideas but it was to no avail. The mission remained incomplete even after the ship docked.
It was a herculean task for a female cat to even develop a tinge of affection for Matcha. To Zhao Yao, this task even harder than winning the cat king competition.
The difficulty of the task only grew exponentially after they left the ship. The chances of him meeting every single female cat were close to zero.
Zhao Yao eyes drifted from the incomplete status of the BOOK to the starry sky as a wave of sadness swept over him.
”Never mind, at least I managed to win Fortune Cat. My income will definitely increase by a few folds from the next month onwards. In the long run, the experience earned using Fortune Cat will be way more than the one earned from this stupid mission.”
Zhao Yao was finally ready to redeem his prize after comforting himself. However, he looked around and realized that both Matcha and Roly Poly had suddenly disappeared. If not for his black robes, he would already have exposed his identity.
”King George! It's time to get off the boat!”
”Where did those two fellas go?”
Zhao Yao's ears gave a slight shudder as he heard Roly Poly's screams amidst the noise of the scurrying wind. He went straight towards the source of the screams.
Zhao Yao slammed the cabin door open only to see Matcha kneeling on the ground with his front paws tightly clasped together. Meanwhile, Roly Poly was spotted with a shaver in his paw and a cynical smile on his face. He was shaving Matcha's head!
At the moment, half of Matcha's head had already been shaved bald. His eyes and paws were both firmly shut together.
Zhao Yao had never expected to see this and roared at the top of his voice, ”What are the two of you even doing?”
Roly Poly immediately released the shaver when Zhao Yao's intimidating voice rang in his head. He instantly rushed over to explain, ”Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao! Matcha said that he wanted to be a monk! This has nothing to do with me at all!”
”Amitabha.” Matcha greeted with a face of abject despair, ”I am no longer the Matcha that you used to know. I am a monk and my name is Green Tea. I have managed to see beyond the travesties of life. Now, my only wish is to spread the name of Buddha before I end my wretched life.”
The corner of Roly Poly's lips curled upwards when he heard those ridiculous claims, ”Meowhaha! This time, I had finally managed to get the better of Matcha! No one will be able to take the throne away from me now that he is a monk!”
Zhao Yao rolled his eyes when he heard those absurd words and thought, ”Does he really have to turn into a monk just because of 50 rejections?”
”Alright, alright.” Zhao Yao dismissed Matcha's words by dragging him out of the room and squashing Roly Poly into his cloak. He decided to put an end to this nonsense by saying, ”Stop it, alright? I'll top up your Mobile Legends credit when we get home.”
”A monk shall not indulge in such hedonistic activities.”
”Oh really? Initially, I wanted to reward you with RMB 500 for your performance in this competition.”
”Zhao Yao, where is my phone?”
