"I threw it out. Why would I keep it with ?" The voice of Liang sounded from the other end of the phone.
When Li Yang arrived back in his house after the eting with his family, the man looked around for a fish bowl, so kind of aquarium or tank where Chunhua probably kept the tiny pink salmon.
But without it in sight, he decided to give his brother a call and learned what happened. Li Yang clicked his tongue. "Couldn't you have at least kept it sowhere and tried to keep it alive? I… bought the fish for Chunhua but you just let it die?"
The thought of that fish simply dying didn't make sense to Li Yang at all.
"Chunhua was busy waiting for her mother to wake and sohow that fish didn't like to eat the fish food we got it. What was I supposed to do, feed it golden pellets? But did you seriously just go ho for the fish? Also how the heck did you find your secretary?"
"That's none of your concern," Li Yang replied.
"Sure. Whatever floats your boat. I'm just shocked that not only did you head ho to check on so animal—you also found Ying Yue He so easily."
"It's probably because she preferred to work with and knew that you're terrible to work with."
"Oi. Don't try to sound like you're better than , pet lover."
Li Yang couldn't say that it was a special fish. But it truly was sothing that ca from a special gift set ant for Narissa. The man chose to spare the details and instead only sighed.
On the surface, it did seem ridiculous though.
While he left Ying Yue He to visit Chunhua and Luo Ju Di, here he was on a hunt for so fish that was already long gone. "Where did you bury the fish?"
If there were any remnants of bones or sothing, Li Yang might have found so use for it.
"Bury? Did you think that I'd have ti to dig out a little graveyard for it?" Liang snickered at him from the other end. "I'm running the company that you left and you think that I made a little funeral for the fish?"
"Then how did you dispose of it?" Li Yang asked with a frown. He couldn't be bothered with the tongue of his brother right now when his hope about the fish's life was rekindled.
"I flushed it into the toilet."
"Okay, got it. I'm hanging up, bye." Li Yang ended the call and then sighed. While he was prone to believe that it was dead—at least dead enough for his brother to throw the fish out—there was always the chance for things to be not as they seed.
The sight of Bao reappeared in front of him and the small bundle of fur gave him a plain look. "Please don't tell that we're going to the sewers."
Li Yang wrinkled his nose. "No. As much as I'd love to go discover if there's anything dangerous in the waters that probably mutated from the waste of at least a million people, I won't risk it."
"Hah!" The Panda crossed its arms and stifled down a laugh. It gave him a serious look. "Good. We can't waste ti trying to see you wrestle a crocodile or alligator when it's already a thing. There are already people who do that."
"Beast Tars?" Li Yang asked.
"I was going to say, so folks that live in the land down under, but that's also true," Bao said. The creature cleared its throat. "But now we're done with your little errands, boy. When are you going to actually try and seduce the target?"
Li Yang stared at the Panda and held back from snickering. "For soone who's supposed to keep an eye on , you clearly are not always paying attention to the events. There's a family dinner in two weeks and that's where I'll get in the family's graces."
He wondered if it ant that this creature was not as omnipresent as it tried to make it out to be.
Bao flicked a wrist dismissively at him. "That's all fine and dandy—I heard it when you said that you won't only be courting a single individual, but an entire family… but being on good terms with her parents won't get you anywhere in her bed."
"I am aware of that, but based on the description and stories that her parents tell of Anna Song. I don't think it would be that hard as compared to soone like Bo Lifen. She and I didn't get along well at first." Li Yang shrugged. "Whereas the profile of this Anna Song is soone who likes to party and have fun."
The Panda gave him a flat look. "...The 'hard' woman to sleep with was Bo Lifen because the two of you got that weird tension with each other? So you think that soone who enjoys her life… this Anna Song is easier?"
"She'd probably be more up to sothing casual?" Li Yang admitted. "Sex is fun afterall."
"Okay, you're the last person I expected to say that." Bao murmured sothing about frigidity before it clapped its hands. "Fine, let's say that your logic is not flawed at all. You still have at least two weeks before you see her so let's hope that you're on the top of your ga."
"I have to be and I will be."
"Gah. That confidence—so people do have it all, don't they?" Bao crossed its arms and clicked its tongue. "Big fish in a small pond, that I tell you though."
"As usual, you're quite supportive." Li Yang remarked before he checked his phone. There was a ssage from Bai Minghua that complained about Taiga being with her and it made him smile a little, rembering that he had to thank her for last night.
Except, it wasn't only Bai Minghua that assisted him during his encounter with the Nian Beast at all.
Li Yang looked up. "You know, besides all of this… is there a way to communicate back to Telriah? I think that Setsuko's just fine, but I can't say the sa for Mitsuko, Leila, and the rest."
"Huh." Bao made a face. "The place where the goddess nearly tried to kill you. Why the heck do you want to check back there? Did you really start caring about so won you stayed with? You're too soft."
Whatever kind of negative perspective this creature had to feel that every ounce of concern to another person was so kind of weakness—Li Yang chose not to dwell on the matter too hard.
It would be too much of a pain to go on a debate, instead, he focused back on what he left behind in Telriah and what he could do. Returning there was impossible, and Li Yang practically just arrived back on earth.
But it wasn't fair to have left them alone simply like that.
"I had to use fifteen percent of the World Warper's energy to return from that Afterlife Plane, whereas, it would take a hundred percent to travel back there to Telriah." Li Yang placed his phone back into his pocket. "Ti moves a lot slower there, or rather, there's a ti gap—so I want to be reassured that the others are okay."
"Geez."
