"Is she that interested in keeping cats? She seems much better than Ning Ning."
Zhao Yao nodded happily. "About keeping cats, educating cats, punishment and reward, nutrition, catmeal preparation, cats' thoughts, cat cuddling techniques, I have some knowledge. I'll share a few pointers with you…"
Two hours later…
Yang Hui looked at her cell phone. Then she looked at the chatterbox Zhao Yao. "Isn't he done with the talking yet?"
She looked at her smiling and interested cousin and thought, "My cousin listened to him for that long… Is she interested in the boss? I hope not."
Lee Shuyao forced herself to maintain her smile. Seeing Zhao Yao chatter nonstop, she thought, "Is he done yet… No, my face is getting cramped from the smile… If he continues, I'll break down… I have to get him to stop."
Matcha noticed that Zhao Yao and Lee Shuyao chatted for over two hours and he asked grimly, "Is Zhao Yao interested in her?"
Elizabeth sprawled at the side and said, "All these years, besides Zhao Xue, did you see Zhao Yao bring a woman home? I feel… that Zhao Yao might not like women."
"Did you see how long Zhao Yao chatted with the woman? It's obvious he's interested. He doesn't normally chat with women for that long," Diana said. "It's a relief to know Zhao Yao's sexual orientation, otherwise we'd have to live in fear."
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Matcha nodded his head and said, "Do you know that I get a shock every time he turns in bed at night?"
On Zhao Yao's side.
"Eh? You were absent-minded?" Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes and looked at Lee Shuyao as he said, "Am I boring you?"
"No… no, you're very interesting and I was too focused on your topic." Lee Shuyao wiped off her cold sweat and said, "It's five o'clock now. Shall we have a meal and chat at the same time? I'm keen to know more of your knowledge about keeping cats."
"Having a meal?" Zhao Yao frowned and looked at his cell phone and said, "No, I have a lot of research on cats to go through. I don't have time for a meal."
"Ah?" Lee Shuyao was stunned as she looked at Zhao Yao. She could not believe he said that. "He rejected an invitation from a beautiful woman like myself? Are there only cats in his mind?"
Seeing Zhao Yao turn away and focus on his research, Lee Shuyao thought, "He's a serious cat control maniac! Is he really important to my superiors?"
"I'll not give up that easily," Lee Shuyao thought. "Since I was young, I have resolved all obstacles step by step. After much struggling, I managed to have my current life. How could I lose to cats?"
Lee Shuyao gazed at Zhao Yao as though he was her prey and thought, "See how I'll subdue you."
Lee Shuyao smiled at Zhao Yao and said, "If you don't want to eat outside, we can order takeaway." She intended to order takeaway and eat with Zhao Yao in the cafe.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.
Zhao Yao shook his head and said, "I intend to prepare cat meals and make some food for myself. I don't need to order takeaway." He looked at Lee Shuyao and his eyes lit up as he said, "Yes, I told you about balanced nutrition for cats and the steps for making cat meal. Do you remember? Do you want to try?"
"Ah… Ah?" Lee Shuyao was uncomfortable with Zhao Yao's gaze and thought, "If I refuse him… then I'll contradict myself… This is frustrating!!!"
In the kitchen, Ning Ning said, "Boss, you don't need my help?"
"No, I have a few new dishes to try. You are not required here." Zhao Yao looked at Lee Shuyao and said, "Try making the cat meal personally. Only with care and love can you make the best cat meal."
Under Zhao Yao's guidance, Lee Shuyao cut the vegetables, minced the meat and added flavoring. She was dazed as she thought, "What… What am I doing?"
After Lee Shuyao completed the catmeal, Zhao Yao nodded and said, "Not bad, you have attained 60% of my level in the first try. You're gifted in making catmeals. Do come over when you're free."
He ushered Lee Shuyao out of the kitchen and said to Diana, "Get Tom, Arria and Asser to taste this catmeal."
Lee Shuyao looked dazed at the kitchen door and thought, "This guy… did he retain me to make catmeal? Perhaps, he's not interested in women?"
Seeing her cousin coming out of the kitchen, Yang Hui asked, "Cousin? Are you interested in him?"
Lee Shuyao smiled and said against her conscience, "Hmm… good but it's not what you're thinking. The boss is a good person." She thought, "This pervert's mind is full of cats. I'll bring my cat over next time."
Zhao Yao looked at Asser, Arria and Tom, who possessed Matcha's body and asked, "What do you think of the taste? Is the taste suitable for the Short Fur Tribe?"
Seeing the cats nodding with satisfaction, Zhao Yao nodded. He adjusted the taste according to the alien cats' habits and their breed.
He tried new ways of cuddling the three cats. He also tested Dust Ball Catmint, cat stick, small rat and the scratching board on them.
Seeing the three cats scratching on the scratching board that was scattered with catmint, Zhao Yao thought, "Cats are indeed cats. Though the alien cats' culture is different, the methods we use on Earth are applicable to the alien cats. They will definitely love it."
On the second day, Zhao Yao entered the Dimension Portal and arrived at the Cat Slave Hall to train.
As he was training, Blue Moon approached him and said, "Guang Yu, you didn't come yesterday?"
"Yes."
"I'll mark you absent without notice." Blue Moon said, "If you do it more than three times, I'll ask the trainer to dismiss you. Hope that you take the training seriously."
Zhao Yao waved his hand helplessly and said, "I understand."
Black Dune approached the apprentices and said, "Lord Wheatley needs more cat slaves and the northern battlefield requires qualified cat slaves. Lord Wheatley decided to let apprentices take care of his daily routines…"
Before Black Dune completed his sentence, the cat slaves cheered excitedly.
Zhao Yao's eyes lit up. "Humph, let me subdue Lord Wheatley with my preparations yesterday."
A group of humans left the Cat Slave Hall and arrived at Lord Wheatley's palace.
In a great hall, the apprentices formed several rows and gazed at the distant figure behind a thin veil.
Zhao Yao stood at the end and tiptoed to look at the figure as he frowned.
Black Dune said, "Lord Wheatley, the apprentices are all here."
"What? There are so few cat slaves." The veil was pulled aside and an adorable young girl of fourteen to fifteen years old came out. She pouted and said, "Looks quite useless."
Zhao Yao looked astonished at the small girl on the stage and asked the apprentice beside him, "She… She's Wheatley? Why is she…"
The apprentice said, "Don't you know? Lord Wheatley activated reincarnation superpower and was reincarnated in an unborn baby."
"S*it! I've prepared for nothing!" Zhao Yao was furious.
The apprentice beside him asked bewildered, "What's with you?"
"Nothing." Zhao Yao exhaled and said, "Did she know that after becoming a human, she's not as adorable as a cat!"
"Yes," The apprentice agreed and said, "Why did she become an irritating small girl? I wonder when Lord Wheatley will reincarnate as an adorable cat."
Zhao Yao thought, "This is frustrating. After becoming a small girl, what does she like? Wouldn't her taste for food be completely different? I have to think of a new way to convince her to let me learn the skills."
