Chapter 37: It Just Doesn’t Make Sense (2/2)

They weren’t close, after all

”If I had only brought Ah Meow” Li Du shook his head in frustration ”damn, there’s only a cat between that Goddess and arden a bit, and then went back to where Sophie was Not that he was still thinking of approaching her, but he returned because he had noticed that all of the stray cats and dogs had run towards her

There were now some other people there other than Sophie All of thee loaves of bread which they tore to strips and fed to the cats and dogs

Li Du looked around, but didn’t see any bakeries nearby

A voice suddenly rang out from behind him ”Hey, mate Do you want to buy so around, he saw a young black et so close to hed, showing ts of pearly white teeth ”I’ht, let’s not waste your tis like it Twenty dollars Do you want it?”

Li Du was shocked ”This bread, for twenty dollars? It should cost only two dollars!”

Nore loaf would usually only cost two or three dollars, not 20

The black young ly ”But the chance to approach a beauty is worth at least 20 dollars, isn’t it? This is an honest price for a brother Are you a tourist? This is the lowest price I’ll give to a tourist”

Li Du understood what he was saying The young ht that he was after Sophie

To hithe loaf, he blended into the sht it to approach Sophie, but to get near the cats and dogs He squatted on the ground, tearing the bread into strips and placing thes ca out and try to burrow it into their heads

Following his instructions, the bug flew over, landed on their heads and did its best to burron but failed The cats and dogs didn’t even realize that it was there

He tried this with als Tenand puffing, but the bug was still flying in the air

He was confused Why is it that the bug could burrow into Ah Meow’s brain but not other animals’?

He stood up suddenly; as a result of squatting for a long time and exhaustion, he nearly blacked out, and swayed on his feet

An old man with a ruddy coht hi one”

Only then did Li Du notice that most of the people had left and that Sophie was nowhere to be found

He smiled bitterly ”You irl here, but I wasn’t here for her I was here for these little fellows, I swear to God!”

The old”No need to swear I believe you Your gaze is frank and honest It’s quite obvious that you’re not lying”

After speaking with the old man a little, Li Du felt better and called a cab back

When he got hos He resu couldn’t fly into the ani except fatigue, Li Du had to force himself to stay awake until after lunch Then, unable to resist any longer, he fell into a deep sleep in his bed with Ah Meow

Ever since obtaining the bug he had been able to sleep soundly, al fresh and rested

The sky was bright when Li Du woke up and yelled happily, ”hello to a beautiful day!”

The door opened with a bang and Hans popped his head in ”Yo, you handsoht We have less than an hour until the auction!”
