"Don't be shy, Xiao Lin." Uncle Ho laughed as he spoke."In order to achieve more in life, we need to learn to reward ourselves occasionally."
Lin Chen took another step back and asserted, "No thanks. I already have a girlfriend." He whipped out his phone and showed his wallpaper to Zhao Yao.
"I'm content with having just my girlfriend."
Inspector Ho stared at the wallpaper and sniggered, "Pfft, otaku."
...
After the black man was taken away, Zhao Yao drove home as he yawned continuously.
Baiquan is now living in Zhao Yao's house. As both rooms which were once occupied by the stray cats are now vacant, Baiquan chose one of the rooms as his personal bedroom.
The moment Zhao Yao reached home, Elizabeth and Matcha eagerly leaped out of the Kitty bag and went to do their own things. Matcha climbed up his massage throne while Elizabeth darted towards the window ledge and started using her phone.
Exhausted, Zhao Yao took a quick shower and went to sleep.
But just as Zhao Yao fell asleep, a long-haired teen was creating a havoc over at Unit 42 villa.
"Are you kidding me? Big Head and Fat Dragon aren't back yet and now Blacky is gone?" Ho Hao Cang shouted as he threw a ceramic vase on the floor. The ear-shattering sound of the broken case echoed through the villa.
The housekeeper spoke in a composed manner."Master, there's plenty of things going on over at Ho Jian Jun's side recently. These are all orders from the higher-ups. Master, you should just go along with their plan."
"Mmm." Ho Hao Cang spoke softly."Well, of course, I won't go against the decisions made by the higher-ups but I certainly can stir some trouble with other people. I am 101% supportive of the plans made by the higher-ups but this doesn't mean that any Tom, Dick or Harry can piss on me that easily."
"The masked man from before... Continue to hunt him down." He squinted his eyes and continued."Also, about the Blacky incident. Send someone to investigate how they managed to capture Blacky. It's impossible for any normal person under Ho Jian Jun to be of Blacky's caliber."
...
Meanwhile, in Baiquan's room, Baiquan was filming himself with a video camera which was placed on the table. He seemed to be 'hosting' some sort of magic show."My unorthodox magic tricks have always attracted lots of attention. I am Liu Qian's disciple and I'm very familiar with performing close-range magic and even large-scale magic tricks. I was even invited to perform live during Chinese New Year. If you any magic trick that you wish to see, please drop a request and I'll perform it immediately."
It turns out that Baiquan was actually streaming live. He used his power of invisibility to perform all sorts of magic.
As he had made a promise to Zhao Yao to abide by the law, he decided to use his invisible power to perform magic tricks instead.
Baiquan glanced at the viewers' count and smiled to himself delightfully."Oh! It seems like we have hit over 1000 viewers today. At this rate, we would have a chance to break the record for the most donations made to Anti-Hell's Foundation. This would prepare us for the huge upcoming battle."
However, just as he was about to continue streaming, he felt the growing presence of Hell's Aura and stopped streaming. Instead, he laid down on his bed and smiled contentedly.
"Ahhhh..." He let out a groan as he completely relaxed his body."It's Hell's Aura. Does that mean that Boss is back already?" Under the influence of Hell's Aura, Baiquan felt more relaxed than ever and it felt like he was soaking himself in a healing sauna.
Ever since he experienced Hell's Aura, Baiquan had been getting more and more accustomed to the presence of this power.
In fact, the reason why he decided to start streaming was due to Hell's Aura. When Zhao Yao and Elizabeth left house and Hell's Aura was no longer in range to take effect, Baiquan couldn't sleep a wink and decided to start streaming instead.
Now that Zhao Yao is back and Hell's Aura is activated once again, Baiquan could feel himself getting lighter and lighter to the point that it felt like he was floating in mid-air. He felt so comfortable that he didn't want to do anything at all. As laziness started to creep in, Baiquan gradually got more tired and eventually fell into deep sleep.
The next morning, he woke up feeling lighter than ever. Baiquan opened the door to Zhao Yao's bedroom and saw both man and cat lying on the bed in deep slumber. Zhao Yao's body was shaped like a starfish as he took up most of the bed space while Matcha laid on top of Zhao Yao's head, partially covering his face as they both snored soundly. Somehow, their snoring created a melodious rhythm which sounded like an orchestral piece.
Baiquan simply laughed at how cute they looked and turned around to leave. Just as he turned, he heard a soft purring followed by a furry object circling around his legs. He looked down and realized that it was Elizabeth. Baiquan squatted down and said in a gentle tone, "Oh look it's Elizabeth. Don't you worry, I'll prepare some food for you immediately."
Having stayed in Zhao Yao's house for a couple of days, he managed to spend some time with the adorable cats while enjoying the healing power of celestial beats. Ever since he moved in, Baiquan felt like he was beginning to live a more fulfilling and carefree life.
Compared to his previous job as a property agent, his work environment is much more relaxed than it used to be. He doesn't need to wake up early and find scheming ways to convince his customers. Neither does he need to worry about his monthly commission nor worry about his future.
It turned out that Celestial Beats could help to cure slouching of the body as it straightens the backbone.
Every morning as Baiquan wakes up under the influence of Hell's aura, he felt incredibly refreshed and energized. Sometimes, it felt like he could never run out of energy.
...
On the same night, Xiao Shi Yu was staring blankly into space in her newly rented apartment.
Till today, her past experiences that she had been through still felt very surreal. Sometimes she couldn't believe that she is actually still alive. However, the strange but relaxing aura she experienced at the cafe, Inspector Ho, the government and Zhao Yao served as a reminder to her that all this is in fact real.
In particular, it was the soothing feeling that came from the cat cafe.
Just then, Xiao Shi Yu's phone rang. She looked at the phone display and it was a call which she had been waiting for all day.
"Hello, Inspector Ho." Ever since she became the communicating bridge between Zhao Yao and Inspector Ho, she had been calling Inspector Ho at this time every day to ask about Zhao Yao's situation.
"Shi Yu... You don't have to be so polite to me. Just call me Brother Jun." Inspector Ho answered in a frivolous tone."Are you at home now?"
Xiao Shu Yu insisted on replying formally."Yes, I'm waiting for your call to update you on today's situation."
"Oh? Does that mean that you are talking to me over the phone naked on your bed?"
Having heard such dirty talk coming out of Inspector's Ho mouth, Xiao Shi Yu frowned in anger and snapped, " Inspector Ho, please do not flirt with me over the phone. I've no interest in a man who is 20 years older than me."
"Flirting? There seems to be some misunderstanding here Xiao Xiao. It's cold today, I simply asked you that question out of concern. Inspector Ho put up an act to show that he was hurt by Xiao Shi Yu's words."You young people... What are you guys thinking in your heads?"
Annoyed by his words, Xiao Shi Yu curled her lips and asked again, "Inspector Ho, do you still want me to update on Zhao Yao's situation?"
