The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?!-Chapter 1152 - 722: Hunyuan Xingyi Taiji Sect (2)

The raindrops evaporated when they were about half a meter above the Sphinx’s head, and the ground around it was also dry.

Even so, Liu Zheng could see its impatience from the way it was flicking its tail madly at the ground.

Cats naturally hate water, and a cat caught in the rain outside would only hate it more.

"You eat first, I’ll get you an umbrella."

He shoved a pack of dried fish into the Sphinx’s arms.

"Do you think I need an umbrella?"

The Sphinx looked at him like he was an idiot.

"It’s for peace of mind, even if it doesn’t cover the head."

Liu Zheng said as he walked into the clinic.

"Doctor, do you have an umbrella?"

He asked.

"Xiao Mei, go get an umbrella."

Doctor Nile ordered.

"Okay, doctor."

The cleaner went inside and brought out a black folding umbrella.

"This one’s too small, do you have a bigger one?"

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"Is it for the Sphinx?"

Doctor Nile realized.

"Yes."

"Then wait a moment."

Doctor Nile went inside himself, and after a while, came out holding a huge parasol, the kind you see outside barbecue joints.

"Here you go."

He handed the parasol to Liu Zheng.

"You had this ready all along, huh?"

"Of course. I’m not some heartless boss, I’m not going to skimp on basic amenities."

Doctor Nile replied.

"Then why didn’t you give it to Ando?"

Liu Zheng was puzzled.

"It didn’t want it for itself. I suggested it twice and it yelled at me, so it’s just been gathering dust in the warehouse."

Doctor Nile said helplessly.

Previously, he couldn’t win against the Sphinx, so obviously he couldn’t force it to use one.

It’s hard to say if he could win now, but even if he could, there’s no point in starting a conflict over such a trivial issue.

Although the Sphinx does not belong to the La Clan nor does it worship God La, at least it’s a fellow countryfolk.

There were so, so few fellow countryfolk for him and Sasha in the Metropolis.

"It’s okay, I’m not afraid of its roar."

Liu Zheng took the parasol.

A roar won’t cost him a piece of meat. Even if it scratches him out of desperation, he can just eat more and it’ll grow back.

"Alright, go on then. If it gets damaged, come find me; I have a few more."

Doctor Nile said.

"Why did you buy so many parasols?"

"I didn’t know what color it liked, so I bought one of each. After all, it’s a female. When I buy things for Sasha, I buy them the same way."

Doctor Nile said.

"Understood, the self-cultivation of being a father."

Liu Zheng nodded.

"I’m glad you understand. Sometimes I’m grateful that Sasha is not a twin, otherwise buying things would be even more troublesome."

Doctor Nile sighed.

He once treated a patient whose condition resulted from being bitten by a swarm of sewer rats.

And why was it bitten by a swarm of sewer rats? Because it was trying to capture a young rat.

Ordinarily, with its strength, dealing with a rat swarm should have been easy, but the swarm it provoked was simply too large to clear out even with wide-area skills.

And why did it provoke such a large rat swarm? Because it needed to find a baby rat identical to the one it previously caught.

And why did it need to find a baby rat identical to the one it previously caught? Because it had a pair of twin daughters.

After recovering, the patient requested to stay in the clinic for a few more days, claiming that those days were the happiest of its tiger life.

Liu Zheng carried the parasol out the door, and after some effort, set it up to block the sky above the Sphinx’s head.

Doctor Nile was as reliable in buying things as he was in doing things; the parasol was so large it could host a barbecue stall.

"I said I don’t need it, human, are you deaf?"

The Sphinx flicked its tail and said.

"I just happened to set the parasol here, if you really don’t want shade, you can move elsewhere."

Liu Zheng said.

"I’ve always been here, why should I leave?"

The Sphinx grumbled.

"Exactly, and I’m not taking up your space. See, there’s quite a distance between us."

He gestured to the distance between the parasol pole and the Sphinx.

"... I can’t be bothered to argue with you."

The Sphinx lay down in annoyance, its tail batting loudly.

"Hehe. Want a cup of morning tea? If I pass by Unlucky Coffee, I could pick some up for you."

Liu Zheng asked.

"Don’t think you can bribe me just like that, hmph!"

"Then I’ll just have to keep trying harder."

He chuckled and turned back into the clinic.

"How did it go? Did it accept it?"

Doctor Nile asked.

"I think so."

"You’ve got the touch, no wonder you’re ... ahem."

Doctor Nile managed to stop himself in time.

"How’s Bo Bo doing?"

Liu Zheng didn’t press for more; it probably wasn’t something nice anyway.

"She can get out of bed now, I’ve told her to stay in the ward and not to come out."

Doctor Nile said.

"Does she need further treatment?"

"No, I’ll prescribe some medicine, and as long as she takes it every day and rests, she’ll be fine."

Doctor Nile shook his head.

"Alright, then call them out, I’ll move them somewhere else."

He said.

"Xiao Mei, go call them out."

Doctor Nile said.

"Okay, doctor."

The cleaner went inside and soon brought Bo Bo and Luo Luo out.

They were both in hospital gowns and had no makeup on, but they looked much more spirited than when he saw them at the Red Spider Club.

"Good morning, Mr. Liu."

They greeted Liu Zheng together.

"Good morning. This is a clinic, not a hotel, it’s inconvenient for you to stay here for long. I’ve bought a house in the Lush Community for Niu Daji, and since he can’t occupy the whole place by himself, you two can stay there for now, and I’ll make arrangements later."

He said.

"Mr. Liu, can’t we stay here? We can work."

Luo Luo said pitifully.

Bo Bo didn’t speak, but she clearly shared the sentiment.

Whether human or beast, many dislike change.

They just left the Red Spider Club for the clinic, and now they had to move from the clinic to somewhere else, so feeling unsettled was quite normal.

"This clinic is only so big, and you two are extra. Since you chose to follow me, you have to listen to my arrangements, or leave, and I’ll exchange my promise for money."

Liu Zheng said coolly.

"I’m sorry, Mr. Liu, I’ll listen to you, both I and Sister Bo Bo will listen to you, please don’t drive us away."

Luo Luo was immediately scared into tears by his words.

Having just escaped a sinister grasp, she didn’t want to plunge into the deep, unfathomable darkness outside again.

"Doctor, please pour them each a cup of honey wine."

Liu Zheng said to Doctor Nile.

"Alright."

Doctor Nile nodded to the cleaner, who promptly poured two cups of honey wine.

The two former technicians drank the honey wine, and the sugar and alcohol gradually calmed them down.

"Xiao Mei, where’s Da Ji?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Brother Da Ji went out to buy groceries. There are more live people at the clinic now, so the food consumption has increased a lot."

The cleaner replied.

Especially the panda; this guy eats more than bamboo and has a huge appetite, consuming more than half of the food supplies.

"Then I’ll just take them to the Lush Community directly, and let Da Ji know when he gets back."

Liu Zheng said.

"Alright... Brother Zheng."

The cleaner glanced at Bo Bo and Luo Luo, then mustered up the courage to address him.

After calling him that, her face turned red from her forehead to her neck.

"Okay, Doctor, I’ll take them away now."

Liu Zheng said goodbye, then drove them to the Lush Community.

After advising them not to go out, he drove to the Mixed-Origin Xingyi Taiji School.

"Come to think of it, the Mixed-Origin Xingyi Taiji School sounds like a martial arts club; maybe someone at the ’Authentic’ massage parlor knows them."

Liu Zheng suddenly thought, then immediately called the head of the ’Authentic’ massage parlor, Lin Zhengzong.

"Good morning, Mr. Liu, what’s up?"

Lin Zhengzong asked warmly.

Ever since Liu Zheng introduced Wang Manni’s company employees to the ’Authentic’ massage parlor, business there had been booming to the point of being almost too busy.

And Lin Zhengzong knew well who to thank the most for this.

"President Lin, hello. It’s like this, I need to ask you something, have you heard of the Mixed-Origin Xingyi Taiji School?"

Liu Zheng asked.
