Chapter 173 (2/2)
It was obvious that he had so
Roly Poly batted his lashes at Zhao Yao
”Shall we take a break today? We're too exhausted to serve our customers well,” the fat cat reasoned
Zhao Yao's vacant eyes bored into his
”I slept the least of all of us Do you seefor a break? Why do you even need a break? All you do all day is sleep in the customers' arms! I can't sleep in their arms even if I wanted to A break? No way”
Zhao Yao then turned to Baiquan
”And you Where were you last night? Why didn't you help out?”
”I was asleep,” Baiquan responded truthfully
Zhao Yao gaped at hi?”
”I always put on my earphones and listen to music in bed”
Zhao Yao sighed
”Alright, get to work I'll just rest here”
He intended to slump onto his usual table in the corner and nap
The moment he sat down, however, he remembered that the earthquake cat was still stuck in the depths of the extradimensional belly
Ares the Persian cat stared forward blankly, struggling to keep his eyes open They were puffy and ringed with red He looked like he was in extreme emotional distress, the kind that will cause him to collapse at any moment
Wave after wave of loud buzzing noises had kept hiry cicadas screeching right in his ears
The worst part was that ever since the noise started, it showed no sign of stopping Instead, it grew stronger and round Ares felt like even his organs were vibrating from the impact
At wits' end, he released his reflective field to shi+eld himself and his friends from the reverberations
He would halt his power every half hour, checking to see if the noise had died down Unfortunately, it never did
”Are you kiddingthe time, ”What kind of monster does renovation work at 4 am?!”
He looked around hi in a heap on the floor, blissfully asleep Ares had e of his power covered his friends as well so they could continue sleeping
It was an altruistic move that required Ares to sacrifice both hisHe had to stay up, all alone, in order to maintain the deflective field
He grew terribly exhausted and envious of everyone else, who could enjoy unadulterated rest It felt almost unfair
Ares could no longer re to his side and curling luxuriously into a ball, drooling He raised one paw, then smacked it squarely on Garfield's face
”What? What's happened?” Garfield asked, juiant cat returned?”
His sudden movement had caused the rest of the cats to wake, alarmed All four supercats descended into a nervous panic that led the in whatever boxes they could find
”You useless lu on for far too long! Do you expect ht? I haven't slept a wink!”
Garfield was the first to spring into action
”Please, God, please let this end qui -,”
Four pairs of paws covered his mouth before he could complete his plea
”How dare youin his eyes
Fujin the Siah of relief
”Oh, that was close This rascal almost wasted another wish”
”Boys, desperate tiot to tie him up,” Ares stated
Within a few minutes, the cats wrapped Garfield up like a mummy with the tape and rope that they ripped frohout the process but was unable to throw them off
He could not speak because of the strip of tape tightly pressed against his lips, but he was yelling at his so-called friends telepathically
”Hey! Why are you tyingto help!”
”Help? Wasting our wishes isn't helping, you idiot!” Ares turned from Garfield to the rest, ”Make sure you all keep an eye on him If he secretly makes another wish, beat him up”
Just as Ares gave his command, the constant noise stopped as instantly as when I started He blinked his eyes rapidly a few times, then twitched his furry ears
”It's finally over?”
Outside the extradimensional belly, Zhao Yao sensed that Rice Cake has finally started to stir
She opened her eyes gingerly, revealing orbs that shone brightly She stretched, arching her back with a series of loud cracks from her joints
She then opened her h the air and sent a visible ripple through it It gainedinto a loud boohout the extradimensional belly
