Chapter 285 Goldtail Divine Shrimp (1/2)

”Da Zi, what are you doing? Get your *ss back here!” Gao Peng was pissed.

A streak of purple light flashed across the mountains and landed with a crash in front of Gao Peng.

Da Zi snuck a quick glance at Gao Peng before turning around nonchalantly to leave.

”Stay where you are!” It froze, its antennas starting to twitch wildly. Had it been noticed by Gao Peng?

”What were you doing just now?” Gao Peng asked furiously.

Da Zi turned around with a expression on its face that said ”who, me?”

”Hisss?”

Gao Peng lifted up one of Da Zi's claws. ”Explain yourself!” He said as he gestured at the dirt and splinters between them.

”These are yummy!” said Da Zi with an innocent smile on its face as it licked its claws clean.

Gao Peng rolled his eyes. Ever since Stripey had come back, Da Zi would go play with it every other day. If Stripey was a lazy sloth and Goldie was a violent duck, then Da Zi was a mischievous monkey.

”Let go of me, ugly!” said Da Zi as it struggled to free itself from Da Zi's grip.

”You're always picking on Stripey. Did you go plant trees on its back again?”

Da Zi stopped struggling, closed its eyes, and pretended not to have heard him.

”It's all good with the trees, but why did you have to go plant oranges as well?”

Da Zi stared at him with eyes wide open. ”Oranges are delicious. You know us centipedes love oranges!”

After hearing that, Gao Peng brushed off Da Zi's hand and turned to leave.

”Stay right there, Gao Peng. Let me get you some oranges...”

Gao Peng didn't know whether to laugh or be mad. Ever since it had learned how to use the Internet, Da Zi had been picking up strange things.

Even though the situation had stabilized slightly, the news about the Disaster Mountain Spider and the Emperor-tier familiar was still spreading like wildfire.

Nonetheless, the masses still had no idea about this, because those in power were doing everything they could to control the narrative. However, all it took was one person who knew what was going on to leak it. It was only a matter of time until everyone found out.

Because of this, Gao Peng and Ji Hanwu were flooded with a tide of visitors. A lot of these people were random strangers who just wanted to be seen with the both of them.

The rise of the Southern Sky Group as a major superpower was seen as a sure thing. It had already been a big player before, but with the addition of two Emperor-tier familiars, there was no telling how much bigger the group could grow.

In other news, the Southern Sky Group's ”Evolutionary Potion” started selling like hot cakes. Their selling point was the claim that Chairman Ji's familiar had evolved into an Emperor-tier familiar using the product. The customers ate this up and cleaned out their stock. The Southern Sky Group made thousands.

...

”Young master, a young lady named Lin Xinrui is here to see you.”

”Send her in.”

Lin Xinrui walked into his lab with her familiar by her side. ”Looks like you made a pretty good haul.” Since she had been the one to tell him about the Hand of White Gold, he wasn't surprised at all by her razor-sharp eyes.

Gao Peng smiled wordlessly.

The familiar behind her was a 10-foot long shrimp-like creature made of pure gold.
