Chapter 300 Spring Scar Beas (2/2)

Here he was trying to keep a low profile, and what did his employee get him? A golden cage that made him look like a sleazy pimp.

The Prosperity Mouse's level and grade were both pretty mediocre. Being in the presence of several Lord-tier creatures, it was the very picture of docility without Gao Peng even having to lift a single finger.

After signing the Blood Contract, Gao Peng realized that the mouse wasn't very intelligent. In fact, it was probably at the level Da Zi had been when Gao Peng first met it. It had the intelligence of a four year old, and it could only express simple emotions like anger, joy, and sadness.

”Big brother, big brother. There's treasure. So much treasure—” the Prosperity Mouse squeaked feverishly. Its eyes were literally bulging out of their sockets.

It had never seen so much treasure before in its life. God! Did humans just leave their treasure out in the open like this?

The Prosperity Mouse was bouncing off the walls of the cage in excitement.

Maybe it was because it had been out in the wild for the long time, but the Mouse really liked calling Gao Peng ”Big Brother.”

”You'll get used to it.” Gao Peng chuckled softly.

Hearing the Prosperity Mouse talk like a country bumpkin, Da Zi snorted coldly.

I was clearly the first one to be with Gao Peng, but I see him picking up more and more strays now!

Out of sight, out of mind. With a flap of his mighty wings, Da Zi disappeared in a flash of purple lightning.

”Will the beautiful couple help me out with my research here?” Gao Peng could hear an earnest plea from somewhere close by.

A woman dressed in black work attire was aggressively jabbing a microphone at a young couple. Behind her, her assistant had a pink creature with an extraordinarily large nose on a leash. The creature had freakishly smooth skin and was prowling, sniffing around on all fours.

At the very back was a guy holding a huge camera.

”Uh...” The young couple appeared to be engaged and in the middle of taking their wedding photos.

”What kind of research?” the bride asked curiously.

The groom stood mutely by her side.

”Our company is gathering data on our latest invention, a new breed of creature called the Spring Scar Beast.”

It was a strange name, and both the bride and the groom seemed nonplussed.

”The Spring Scar Beast is extremely sensitive to hormones and pheromones. It can detect how many times you've been intimate with both the opposite and the same sex in the past week. That's why I think that...”

”Let's go take our photos.” The bride turned abruptly towards the groom.

”Huh?” The groom was taken aback.

”We're not done taking photos, and we're on a tight schedule. Let's not waste any more time.”

”But… this will only take a couple of minutes, right?” The groom hesitated.

”Yes. It will only take 10 minutes at most,” said the woman in black hurriedly.

Upon hearing this, the bride looked somewhat uneasy. Shooting the groom a quick look, her voice hardened. ”Let's continue with our photoshoot.”

Even an idiot would have known something was wrong by then. The groom had a very ugly look on his face. It was a nasty cocktail of humiliation and resignation.

”Are we taking the photos or not!” Seeing that the groom was still rooted to the ground, her voice took on a steely edge.

The groom's chest rose and fell as he drew in a couple of deep breaths. Then he turned to leave.

”Where do you think you're going?!” The bride paled.

”We're not taking the photos anymore.”
