Chapter 11

After returning to the white house, the following days were very calm.

As a pet, Fu Yue didn’t spend all day lounging around in the room. She spent a lot of time in the living room, trying to be seen by her owner as much as possible.

In the first two days, Arnold didn’t come to the living room very often. It was about every other hour. Because the time intervals were very unpredictable, every time Fu Yue saw him, she had to frantically tidy up her snacks and the sofa where she had eaten.

The next day, Arnold came more frequently. He basically came back every half an hour or so, staying for about an hour each time.

At first, Fu Yue felt very uneasy being in the same area with her owner, but when she saw Arnold either watching TV or looking at news on the screen, she relaxed. She found a spot not too far away, quietly browsing websites on the screen with wireless earphones.

On the third day, when Fu Yue came to the living room early in the morning, she found some tools installed on the sofa that looked like office supplies.

Arnold was already sitting on the sofa, which had been transformed into an office chair, working seriously.

Being careful not to disturb her owner who might have billions of Star Coins, Fu Yue quietly sat on the nearby sofa and focused on watching shows. Occasionally, she would glance at her owner, observing his movements.

Just finished watching a show, Fu Yue looked up and saw the scene where all the office supplies around the boss were neatly put away. As expected, after tidying up the office supplies, Arnold’s eyes turned towards her.

"Fu Yue."

As soon as she heard her name, Fu Yue immediately stood up and walked over.

It was time for her shift.

Fu Yue obediently lay down on Arnold’s lap. She had been watching a show for an hour and her back was feeling a bit sore, so she chose to have her back facing Arnold.

After waiting for a while, a pair of big hands comfortably started massaging her.

Ever since Arnold groomed her that day, he would occasionally give her massages like this every day. Fu Yue secretly called this a win-win situation, focusing on making the guests happy and the staff comfortable.

Just as Fu Yue was getting comfortable and almost falling asleep, a voice suddenly sounded above her head.

"Who’s there?" Curiously, Fu Yue sat up.

"Arnold, I received another type of creature today, so I have arranged for shipping… Wow, are these your Blue Star people? What are you doing, how did she get up from your leg? Let me pull back to have a better look… Are you touching the Blue Star people?"

Fu Yue also saw the person on the 3D projection. This person had a typical European look, with golden hair and blue eyes, very good-looking.

This handsome guy looked at her in surprise, although Fu Yue knew deep down that the person opposite was not real, she still thought for a moment and tidied up her hair which got a bit messy from lying down.

The handsome guy across was also very interested in looking at Fu Yue, then glanced at Arnold, and said with a smile, "Your Blue Star people at home are so well-behaved, but our Minli was also very well-behaved at first… sigh, why did you leave? I wanted to chat with the Blue Star people for a while…" But Arnold ignored him and went back to the office area holding the screen.

Sitting back in the office area, Arnold remembered how Fu Yue had climbed up to look at Carter, and he turned to the video and said, "Next time before you call, send me a heads-up."

Carter, "?" then what’s the point of calling him?

"Other than the issue of transporting mermaids, do you have anything else to say?" Arnold was always direct in his speech, not to mention he was in a hurry to go back and continue with his work.

"Right, from the previous task, you still have the final item left to complete with your Blue Star people’s pet, right?"

"It’s not Blue Star people’s pet," Arnold corrected, "it’s Fu Yue."

This time, Carter was truly surprised.

After the surprise, there was a burst of laughter like a raging storm, "Before, when we were in contact, you were still saying ‘Blue Star people, a first-class civilization not worth mentioning’, and now you’re laughing so hard… " It wasn’t until Arnold got impatient and wanted to press the end key that Carter toned down his laughter.

"Ahem… I’m here this time to invite you to the Zerg tribe gathering, held once a quarter. It’s all members of the tribe inside, very suitable for you to complete your mission this time."

Arnold pulled up the mission file and looked at the final task stated on it, "Bring a pet to the gathering, allowing the pet to make an appearance and also have the opportunity to interact with people of the same tribe."

Arnold really disliked the idea of gatherings, and… "Fu Yue might not like the idea of gatherings either." The person genetically matched to him should be on the same side as him.

Carter made an "impossible" expression, "No Blue Star person would refuse a gathering! Last time when Minli and I were on a business trip, we missed the gathering and Minli was in a bad mood the whole day."

Arnold sneered at this, firmly believing in his judgment. Besides, Carter’s management abilities had always been at the bottom of the tribe. Otherwise, even a mermaid wouldn’t need him to arrange things now.

But to validate his thoughts, he decided to go and take a look, considering it as completing a task, "Send me the time and location."

"I guarantee she will absolutely love it! By the way, were you giving a massage in the living room earlier, can you teach me too… " Before Carter could finish, Arnold had already hung up.

When he came back, he saw Fu Yue waiting for him. She stood up from the couch as soon as she saw him return. The slight discontent from being teased before seemed to disappear instantly.

He continued sitting on the couch, rubbing Fu Yue’s belly. The soft touch made him feel happy again.

At that moment, the little pet on his knee made a pleasant sound, "General?"

"Hmm."

Fu Yue asked, "Was it Kurds who you talked to before?"

Arnold’s hand stopped suddenly, catching Fu Yue off guard. She first looked at his hand on her belly, then at its owner. She realized her boss was staring at her intently, as if trying to bore a hole through her.

？

Did she say something she shouldn’t have? Maybe… could the person just now have been some kind of spy sent by their tribe? But he didn’t seem like it from the way he looked so happy… Oh well, better to let it go.

Just as Fu Yue was about to take back her words, Arnold squeezed out the answer from his mouth, "Yes, his name is Carter, and he is a biology expert from the Kurds."

Instead of being surprised by a biology expert, what surprised Fu Yue was that the person was actually a Krud person?! Krud people could also laugh and be amazed! They had lively expressions, just like… just like a person!

She used to think that all Krud people looked like her boss, with no expression or always looking serious. It seemed like they were at a big intergalactic meeting all the time. Speaking of which, didn’t Carter hear from somewhere… Oh, Sister Minli’s boss seemed to be called Carter.

Fu Yue, wanting to ask more questions, suddenly met Arnold’s cold gaze, and immediately sealed her questions in her mouth.

Holding onto the idea of keeping a distance from her boss’s personal life, she obediently lay down, with a look of waiting to be favored, patting her little belly with some fat, trying to hint to the big shot to come and touch.

Finally, the boss’s attention returned to her belly. Fu Yue breathed a sigh of relief. If only someone could give her a guidebook on Krud people’s quirks. Thinking here and there, Fu Yue managed to get through the day by winging it again.

By the fourth day, Fu Yue, who had roughly figured out the boss’s routine, finally awaited Arnold’s fixed time to return to the office. After glancing at the door that had just closed, Fu Yue stood up from the sofa, stretched lazily, and started her off-duty time.

It is said that in prosperity, one should not forget one’s friends. Fu Yue understood this principle well.

So, during this free time on the fourth day, Fu Yue returned to the Pet Warehouse she visited before.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw a familiar figure. She walked up excitedly and stuck to the wall, saying, "Mr. Slime, I’ve come to see you!"

The slime, usually moving very slowly, felt Fu Yue’s touch on the glass door and started moving more actively, smearing itself on the glass where Fu Yue was.

"You’re purple today, looks like me leaving didn’t affect you much, brother…" Through their daily face-to-face interactions, Fu Yue had learned that the slime expressed its emotions through colors.

Red meant excitement and happiness, purple meant calmness, and milky white indicated sadness and sorrow. Regardless of the slime’s emotions, Fu Yue treated it warmly. Every time it came near the glass, it would eagerly approach her.

"Just you wait! I now have most of the access rights in this white house, including the Pet Warehouse." Fu Yue said as she tried to open the glass using the chip’s permissions.

However, she found herself unable to do so, no matter how many times she tried, the chip kept showing "No access rights to open this bay."

How could this be?

Fu Yue gently patted her companion, watching it respond to her with little jumps. She decided to carefully search for relevant documents.

Then, she suddenly sensed something and turned towards the back.

Somehow, the two merged bays at the back were filled with water. Under the light, in the clear water, there swam a very beautiful mermaid.

But this mermaid didn’t know how long she had been watching her. In the instant she turned around, she found herself locked by the mermaid’s gaze, unable to move a muscle.
