The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead - Chapter 273

Chapter 273: Chapter 271: The Fighting Pig

Nian Shutong stared at the boastful pig claiming prowess in fighting for quite a long time.

She didn’t disbelieve it, but was pondering where its energy came from.

Why couldn’t she see it when her Divine Sense probed?

“How do you fight?”

“I get bigger to fight.”

The earnest words of the Little Pink Pig made Nian Shutong say, “Let me see you get bigger.”

“Okay.”

The Little Pink Pig, originally raising its little pig head, backed away about ten meters and let out a cry, indistinguishable between a pig’s squeal and a wolf’s howl, and it truly started to grow.

The pig, which was originally the length of an arm and the thickness of a thigh, now grew to the size of a small truck, and tusks sprouted from the corners of its mouth, looking adorably fierce.

At this moment, the only concept in Nian Shutong’s mind was, isn’t this just like Dang Kang?

Truly identical.

This convinced Nian Shutong that the Little Pink Pig really had the strength to fight and that it wasn’t weaker than her.

“Alright, change back.”

With those words from Nian Shutong, the Little Pink Pig reverted back to its cute little size, trotting loyally at Nian Shutong’s feet.

Whether intentional or not, the Little Pink Pig used its bottom to bump a snake sculpture on the ground to the side, looking somewhat smug.

Nian Shutong nudged the Little Pink Pig with her foot and said, “Why do I get the feeling that you’re not too friendly with that?”

She bent down, picked up the snake sculpture from the ground, and stored it in her Space Button. The Little Pink Pig hummed naively and adorably, no longer speaking.

Nian Shutong squatted down again and looked seriously at the Little Pink Pig, “Don’t talk unless necessary. If you can’t help it, communicate with me through Divine Sense, or talk to Xiao Ba or Daodao in the Sea of Consciousness.”

“The place I’m taking you back to has too many people, it’s not yet time to reveal you, so just play the part of a little pet, got it?”

The Little Pink Pig stood up on its hind legs, raising its front hooves high as if standing upright, saying, “Piggy knows.”

Nian Shutong nodded in satisfaction, picked up the Little Pink Pig from the ground decisively, and took it back to the small wooden house with her.

At this moment in the small wooden house, it was the fifth morning since Nian Shutong had left.

Early in the morning, Mr. Fan finished cooking, set the food, and immediately retreated.

That agile posture made one wonder, what was he so afraid of?

Mr. Fan had just run off when Fu Yunhe, like a thief, sneaked out from some corner, grabbed two steamed buns from the table, and was about to dash away.

But alas–

“Xiao He, Rubble is looking for you.”

To Fu Yunhe, these words sounded as grim as a death knell, forcing him to stand up, turn around with a steamed bun in his hand, and look at Rubble with a deep voice, saying just one word, “Speak.”

Rubble first demonstrated the Mechanical Clan’s exemplary virtues when facing the ill-tempered Fu Yunhe.

“Xiao He, are you not resting well? Insufficient sleep can cause a variety of illnesses, such as inadequate blood supply, male reproductive–”

“Rubble!” Fu Yunhe couldn’t help but interrupt, raising his voice slightly.

That slight increase in volume attracted another, even more troublesome character.

Ha Ha ran over at lightning speed as if she were a mother hen protecting her chicks, stretching out her arms to shield Rubble.

“Xiao He, don’t you bully Rubble.”

This familiar scene had been a daily occurrence every morning for the past three days.

The whole thing started when Rubble, not knowing what he was researching, spent all the money left by Nian Shutong. Somehow, he had the bright idea to start asking the temporary steward, Fu Yunhe, for money.

Fu Yunhe didn’t think too much about it and simply gave him the money without even asking any questions.

It was because of this rash decision that Fu Yunhe paid a rather painful price, for Rubble was spending money at an alarming rate. No wonder Nian Shutong had to control his spending for a while.

When Rubble asked for money for the third time in one day, Fu Yunhe refused.

Rubble calmly explained to Fu Yunhe where all his money had gone. Rubble stood, while Fu Yunhe squatted.

One spoke passionately, and the other listened with a headache forming.

As Fu Yunhe stood up, Rubble happened to walk forward, and Fu Yunhe inadvertently bumped into Rubble’s waist.

Had it been a normal person, it would have been no big deal.

Unfortunately, this was Rubble, only second to Fu Yunhe himself in fragility.

He fell over.

Ha Ha happened to see this happen.

Considering himself the protector of everyone in the small wooden house, Ha Ha immediately took control of Fu Yunhe and sternly told him that bullying Rubble was not acceptable.

Fu Yunhe was exasperated – bullying Rubble was out of the question, yet this wolf wouldn’t even help Rubble up!

In the end, it was Ji Sisi who came over and helped Rubble to his feet.

Eventually, everyone understood the situation after they listened to the explanation and Rubble gave a reenactment of sorts.

Even the three-year-old Dou Dou understood, but this Silly Wolf stubbornly thought that Fu Yunhe had bullied Rubble.

From that day forward, every morning when Rubble came to ask for money, Ha Ha would be there to guard him. At first, Fu Yunhe could still explain himself, but later on, even he grew weary.

The group could argue half the day without fighting, simply because they couldn’t reason with one another.

At this point, Fu Yunhe, looking at the persistent Ha Ha across from him, played his trump card and said, “Ha Ha, I will tell Nian Shutong about this.”

Ha Ha across from him replied defiantly, “Good people instructed me to protect everyone’s safety. I am protecting Rubble.”

The protected Rubble tapped Ha Ha’s shoulder with a finger and said, “Rubble doesn’t feel threatened. Rubble is just negotiating about money with Xiao He.”

“Mr. Xiao He, Rubble thinks you can invest in Rubble. Rubble’s research is amazing and will make money.”

“Your investment today will be returned to you double.”

Here we go again! Rubble had learned this spiel from who knows where; it was eerily similar to the scammers online.

What Fu Yunhe didn’t know was that Rubble had indeed picked up this spiel from a scammer.

When Rubble was shopping on the Star Network, he somehow leaked his Light Computer information and received a message. The wording was roughly the same, and it seemed to open a new world for Rubble.

So when he discovered that Xiao He was actually quite wealthy, he came over every day, persistent and unwavering in getting Fu Yunhe to invest in him.

But why did Ha Ha stand in the way of these two every single day?

Rubble couldn’t quite understand it.

Once again displeased by Rubble, Ha Ha gazed at him with a mix of frustration and disappointment and said, “Rubble, our Commander once said that bad people often disguise themselves as good to get close to you.”

On the other side, Fu Yunhe had the urge to roll his eyes so hard he could go blind with annoyance.

Why had he ever kept this Silly Wolf around?

This was a Silly Wolf who, apart from opposing him daily, used his own past words to challenge the current him!

He really felt the impulse to smack the wolf.

“Auntie!”

“Auntie is back!”
