Shh, There's A Beast In The Imperial Palace

⟣Chapter 24

Just over half an hour later, the ruins of this place had been cleared up and revealed a flat foundation. The metals that he had pulled out were thrown into the huge tree pit in the backyard while Old Iron was controlling the machine for silent cutting. The building materials that collapsed when the metal was pulled away were neatly placed on one side by several large machines and seemed reusable.

Chi Jun finally had a real understanding of Old Iron's ability as a robot housekeeper. No wonder why the major general didn't have any servants other than the robot housekeeper. This was a versatile robot model, Old Iron!

Gu Yanzheng pinched the lion's paws and walked to the suspension trolley that had been brought back by Old Iron. By the way, dozens of architectural models were pulled out from his quantum computer and displayed in a 3D model in front of Lion Chi. His voice asked calmly, "What style of house do you want to live in?"

The little lion looked down at Gu Yanzheng's wrist. He had touched it several times with his paws but never suspected the object. Chi Jun had visited the mall previously. This style wasn't available on the market but it was definitely a quantum computer.

Wait… he couldn't respond!

"Chi Jun?"

Gu Yanzheng pinched the soft fur of the frozen lion's belly. The little lion raised his head and stared with beast eyes before suddenly yelling, "Ah… no, wait, don't talk!"

Gu Yanzheng listened to his little lion's scream and laughed. He sat on a seat made of ginkgo branches and pulled out the hundreds of dishes brought back by the lion in the suspension trolley.

Chi Jun stared down at the dozens of 3D house models, turned to look at Old Iron busy working with several robotic arms and then turned back to the person wearing the major general's uniform in a cool and noble manner.

Mother's eggs, it fit too well…

This tailor-made major general's uniform was simply tailored for Gu Yanzheng!

The little lion raised his paws to bury his face and pulled at his lion ears. It was possible that Gu Yanzheng was pretending to be the major general to joke with him but thinking about it, the possibility was too small.

The major general's residence had been occupied by him and he damaged it several times, yet Old Iron didn't attack him or call the police. This time, the entire house collapsed and there were no movements. Old Iron was conscientiously cleaning up the mess and he acted after hearing Gu Yanzheng's order. In addition… during the time when he racked his brains and sincerely asked the major general for a job, the other person repeatedly refused and finally asked him to be the major general's wife.

There were such obvious loopholes yet he only realized now. Had his ability rusted his brain?

Lion Chi snorted while buried in his paws. 'Mrs Major General my ass!'

He had been struggling so hard to make money and planned to go to the asteroid belt to buy a small planet for the lion and tree to live on! Gu Yanzheng's lips silently curved and he reached out to pull away the lion paws. "You won't eat onion ribs?"

"I won't eat!" He was angry.

"Three chickens? Salted chicken? Glutinous rice chicken?"

"I won't eat!" He was frustrated.

"Cumin roast lamb chops?"

"…Eat!" He was hungry.

The little lion lowered his paws and a piece of lamb was delivered to his mouth. Once the delicious meat was swallowed, Chi Jun used his paws to slide from Gu Yanzheng's arm up to his shoulders, bending over. His body and head were close to Gu Yanzheng's face.

Gu Yanzheng handed over a chopstick that was holding a small piece of ribs.

The little lion opened his mouth and asked, "Yan Zhengzheng, how long have you been here?"

It was impossible to become a major general in a day or two. Gu Yanzheng reached out and tapped his forehead twice. "Not long."

As long as the rest of his life was with this lion, it wasn't long. The little lion moved his body and his two paws hugged Gu Yanzheng's neck. His head rubbed against the back of Gu Yanzheng's head as he spoke vaguely, "You also eat."

In the distance, Old Iron saw the soft lion hanging onto the master's neck while the major general sat on the ginkgo branches. The strongest one was the major general. The day before yesterday, the plan for the family of three to leave was probably an illness. Then presumably, he wasn't bought. This meant that he could be restored to factory settings at any time.

…His lights suddenly dimmed.

More than a hundred dishes, one person and one lion couldn't possibly eat them all. As people who came from the apocalypse, there couldn't be any waste. Therefore, the little lion suggested the 'fertilizer.'

Gu Yanzheng's mouth twitched and he immediately waved to the dimly lit robot in the distance. Old Iron immediately dropped the programs that his robotic arms were performing and rushed over. "What is Master's command?"

It was the same mechanical voice as before but why did it seem to be flattering the owner?

Gu Yanzheng was thoughtful.

Old Iron's data trembled.

The little lion found it strange. "What's wrong?"

Gu Yanzheng pinched his paws and no longer looked at Old Iron. He only told Old Iron to clean up. Old Iron turned around and got an oversized storage cabinet to store everything. The food preservation technology of this era was much more advanced and there would be no nutritional loss for a decade.
