Chapter 101: Rich Second Generation Yao

When they finished their meal, Fu Li got up and went with Zhuang Qing to hand their plates to the cleaning station. Turning, Fu Li saw that Zhuang Qing was wearing a straight face. He didn't seem to want to talk, so Fu Li made a suggestion, "Why don't we take a walk?"

Under the guise of a company, the management bureau had many staff fitness areas and was once elected by the media as the company with the most beautiful environment in the entire country. It was unknown how many people experienced envy, jealousy, and hatred upon seeing the conditions of Chang Long's lodging.

Zhuang Qing's gaze was silently fixed on Fu Li. He didn't reject this suggestion, but also didn't agree to it.

What an awkward yao.

Fu Li gripped his shoulder. "Let's go, let's go. We still have two hours of rest time in the afternoon anyway, we can chat while walking."

"What do you want to talk about?" Zhuang Qing ambled along a tiny path with greenery. He had been here more than a hundred years, but never strolled at this place. He couldn't fathom what was so interesting about this sort of boring and slow method of exercise.

"Anything," Fu Li kicked his legs out. "For example, love?"

Zhuang Qing sneered. "What, you were provoked by the toilet ghost's words?"

"No. Every yao has their own ambitions – some yao feel that love is the most important, other yao feel that pursuing the Dao is the most important, and there are even some who revere power. As long as they don't harm the world, there is nothing wrong regardless of what they pursue." The him now was truly a coward through and through, thought Zhuang Qing. There was clearly no one who wanted Fu Li to understand what love was more than him, but at the same time, he didn't want Fu Li to worry about these emotions.

He hoped that the day Fu Li understood love would come not because of someone's prompting, but because he had feelings for him. 'In love, those who act as saints are all fools' – he had once seen this statement in a human book. He hadn't understood love at that time, but inwardly approved of this statement. Only when love came did he understand that no one wanted to be a saint when in love. Love was simply too gentle and cautious; it was nothing more than an unwillingness to let the other party suffer.

Fortunately, his life was long enough, and there would be a day when Fu Li understood.

"You have a point," The tiny bit of awkwardness in Fu Li's heart vanished without a trace after hearing Zhuang Qing's words. He looked at several half-grown children who were playing basketball at the basketball court. As they were playing, they turned into their original forms, rolling together. A small sika deer secretly kissed a tiny lion.

"Cough, cough," Fu Li turned his head away. The little yaoguai nowadays also started dating early.

"Tell me about your past, for example... that human pet," Zhuang Qing looked down at the ground. "You mentioned that pet in front of me quite a few times. Was he very important to you?"

"He was the first pet I raised, and also the last," Fu Li thought about it. "He was a cute human who could cook, write, draw, tell stories, and play chess. He knew many, many things. Elder White Ape said that he's one of the more outstanding humans."

Zhuang Qing plucked a green tree leaf and fiddled with it. "He's very competent, you like him very much?"

"En, I quite like him." Fu Li saw Zhuang Qing's serious expression and hurriedly soothed him. "You want to raise a human pet?"

Zhuang Qing's face iced over. "Can't I?"

"Of course you can't. Human law now prohibits the buying and selling of slaves, it's illegal," Fu Li hastily consoled him, wanting to let Zhuang Qing give up on this absurd thought of his. "You can't know the law and still break it."
