339 What A Fool! ? (1/2)
”What a drag. The only thing that they know is to promote their stupid miracle water and scam innocents! I can't possibly extract any useful information out of them.” Zhao Yao held on to a thin strand of hope as he went around asking for information. Instead, he was greeted with glares and condescending glances.
Zhao Yao swept his head around and noticed two middle-aged men with their heads lowered as they pretended like ordinary passers-by. Zhao Yao had already noticed their presence since 10 minutes ago. They were blatantly stalking him all this while.
Suddenly, Zhao Yao's ears gave a slight shudder as he made out a distinct conversation amongst the white noise.
”Have you seen that fool?”
”Which one are you talking about?”
”The one who has been walking around and yet refuse to buy anything. One look at him and I already know that he is a fool.”
Disappointment sagged through Zhao Yao as those hurtful words pierced his heart, ”Which a*shole is scolding me behind my back?” Cocking his head sideways, he saw four cats lying on the top of an orange-bricked wall as they dangled their paws in Zhao Yao's direction.
Evidently, these cats were clueless that Zhao Yao could understand every single word they uttered which explained their impudent behavior.
A maroon Dragon Li slid Zhao Yao a derisive glare before continuing, ”Everyone, take a good look. If you want to scam, always look out for fools like him. Now, open your eyes and watch the expert do it. With this skill, you will not starve for the rest of your life.”
The remaining cats nodded their heads in admiration as the maroon Dragon Li gracefully leaped towards Zhao Yao's calf. His first strategy was to rub his furry body against Zhao Yao.
A contemptuous smile appeared on his face as he muttered, ”Can you guys see? The majority of humans will simply succumb to my cuteness and affection. They won't even bear to take one step away from me.”
”Hmph!” The cat's speech was like God's words as the rest nodded their head violently.
The thought of brushing this obnoxious cat away crossed Zhao Yao's mind as his lips curled in disgust.
Suddenly, the orange Dragon Li collapsed to the ground with his belly facing skyward as he broke out in a series of meows.
”Look closely. Remember to maintain eye contact to exert some sort of pressure on the human. Swing your paws gently and prepare for your next move. Sticking your tongue out can also add a few bonus points.”
”Take a look! He is already squatting next to me. This is half the battle won!”
”From then on, I will simply lure him to the shop …”
Halfway through his grandiose speech, Zhao Yao had already grabbed him by the neck before disappearing into the corner of the street, leaving the three remaining cats dumbfounded.
”What happened?”
”I don't know! Are we supposed to catch up with him?”
One of the cats stretched his paw out and stopped the rest from acting, ”Don't you understand? This is all part of the plan! Now, our master will receive months of free lodging, food, and water without working at all! He will return when he is sick of that sedentary lifestyle!”
Meanwhile, the two middle-aged men immediately gave chase the moment they noticed Zhao Yao's disappearance. However, they could not find him despite combing through the entire area.
Actually, Zhao Yao had already brought the irksome Dragon Li to a secluded corner of the district before summoning Dust Ball out. By combining Dust Ball and Elizabeth's power, he had successfully tricked the Dragon Li into his belly.
When the Dargon Li regained consciousness, he found himself in a mysterious place with a gang of cats surrounding him. That same man stood amongst the cats as he stared viciously at him.
”What happened?”
”Where am I?”
