Big Fat Raccoon Cat is Very Worried About You, Offers to Help You Become Stronger-Chapter 316: You definitely have ulterior motives

Chapter 316: You definitely have ulterior motives

“You little guy, what are you doing stuffing things into my fishing net after you’ve eaten your fill? Tell me, are you trying to steal my treasures?” Li Li, upon hearing this, paused his actions and looked at the Goblin with wary eyes.

“Master Cat, you’ve truly wronged me! Even if you gave me ten times the courage, I wouldn’t dare do such a thing!” The Goblin, upon hearing this, immediately cried out in false accusation.

Wasn’t this Master Cat just messing around? The other party’s fishing net contained nothing but skeletons. He couldn’t possibly be stealing skeletons, could he? Moreover, the other party was so powerful; he’d have to be crazy to try to steal anything.

“Really? Then how did you little guy end up in my fishing net?” Hearing this, Li Li felt it made some sense, but he didn’t completely believe it. After all, the other party was currently lying right inside his fishing net.

“Uh, didn’t Master Cat net me in?” The Goblin replied weakly. He didn’t want to be in there, but the problem was that Master Cat had directly thrown him in.

Although he was wearing a skull on his head, it was meant to confuse enemies, not for the other party! Why was the other party questioning him about it?

“It’s true that I netted you in, but that’s your own fault for wandering around with a skull on your head. Otherwise, how would you have been caught by me? So, in the end, it’s still your fault,” Li Li said.

“It’s all my fault, I’m guilty, I admit it.” The Goblin immediately confessed. The most important thing when dealing with these “adults” was to be discerning and admit fault right away.

Otherwise, if he dared to bargain with these “adults,” he would be finished. They would directly find an excuse to eliminate them.

He had seen the Priest deal with enemies in this way.

“Since you’re so self-aware, this Cat will show mercy and spare you. However, since you clearly had ulterior motives, this Cat needs you to do something. You don’t have any objections, do you?” Seeing the other party confess so quickly, Li Li said with satisfaction.

“I naturally have no objections, but Master Cat, my strength is meager, I’m afraid I can’t be of much help,” the skeleton said cautiously.

He was clearly the victim, but now he had become the one with ulterior motives. Where could he go to reason? Bad luck shouldn’t be this bad, right? He was really having a hard time.

“I know your strength is meager, so I’ve found you an easy job. Don’t worry, you can definitely do it,” Li Li said with a smile, lifting his paw and pointing to the distance, “Do you see those skeletons over there? I won’t make things difficult for you. Just catch ten skeletons for me to make up for yourself. That shouldn’t be too hard, right?”

“Not hard, not hard.” Hearing this, the skeleton nodded repeatedly. Just catch ten? That wasn’t difficult for him.

If he were asked to catch a hundred, he wouldn’t be able to handle it.

“So, you have no objections? Then hurry up and catch them,” Li Li said with a smile.

“Yes, yes.” The Goblin immediately went off to do his task with quick, small steps. Seeing this, Li Li couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Then, he looked to the side and found that all the creatures he saw were trembling and hurriedly retreating, as if begging, “Please don’t target me!”

“Is it really necessary to be like this? This Cat is clearly kind and approachable. Why are you all so afraid when you see me?” Li Li sighed, looking as if he was deeply hurt. He was just casually grabbing a laborer. Did these little guys have to be so scared? It wasn’t as if he was grabbing them for no reason; the other party clearly had ulterior motives, alright?

Thinking of this, Li Li felt even more aggrieved.

He could only frantically grab small skeletons to calm himself down.

Otherwise, he would be angered to death sooner or later.

“Thank goodness, thank goodness…”

Seeing this, the skeletons couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. After witnessing the other party’s outrageous “porcelain touching” tactics, they didn’t dare to make eye contact with him casually. Otherwise, if the other party found another reason, how could they handle it?

“That gluttonous cat is up to no good again, bullying a Goblin. There’s no one else like him,” Hong Fu said, somewhat speechless.

“Who can say otherwise? When it comes to shamelessness, this little rascal is truly impressive,” Mingmin agreed. She then noticed Moon Rabbit tugging at the arm of a skeleton she was stepping on.

“Sister, could you please lift your foot? You’re stepping on the skeleton arm I want to take,” Moon Rabbit said, looking a little embarrassed.

“Of course, no problem,” Mingmin said with a smile and lifted her foot, allowing Moon Rabbit to pick up the skeleton arm.

“Thank you, sister,” Moon Rabbit said happily and put the arm into her Spatial Backpack, ready to continue collecting skeletons.

Seeing this, Mingmin said to Hong Fu, “Junior Sister, let’s also hurry up and catch some skeletons. Even little Moon Rabbit is so serious. If we just stand here watching, it would be a bit wasteful.”

“Oh, okay.” Hong Fu nodded and followed suit.

“Uh, Teacher, why are they all catching skeletons? Is there a reason?”

“Yeah, Teacher, aren’t skeletons evil undead creatures? Why are they all catching them?”

The people hiding in the woods were stunned and confused.

“Maybe they want to clean up these skeletons and prevent future dangers for those who come after,” Shrek said after thinking for a moment.

Actually, he didn’t know the reason either, but as a teacher, how could he say that? Wouldn’t the students look down on him?

“So that’s how it is. Teacher, you’re truly knowledgeable.”

“Right? But speaking of which, these seniors are really good people, thinking so thoughtfully,” the people said, full of admiration.

Seniors were indeed seniors. Although they liked to joke around a bit, they were reliable when it mattered.

“These little guys are so gullible. I just said something, and you all believed it,” Shrek muttered to himself.

But his face remained calm and collected, showing no flaws.

“There are so many of these guys, catching them is a bit tiring,” Xiong Guang said, carrying net after net of skeletons to Matthew.

“Tell me about it. But luckily, these skeletons are all white, shiny silver. Even if it’s a bit troublesome, we’re willing to do it.”

“Right? It’s much easier than fighting those monsters in the ruins. No matter how powerful these skeletons are, they’re not that scary,” another companion agreed.

It was the first time they had obtained resources so easily, just like casting a net and catching fish.

You know, at other times, how could they have it so easy? Wouldn’t they have to fight tooth and nail? If they could obtain resources like this every day, they would be laughing their heads off.

“That’s true. Let’s work harder and try to catch more skeletons,” Xiong Guang nodded in agreement.

“Mm.” The others agreed and continued working diligently.

“Please spare me, great masters! I’m just a skeleton who was coerced. I haven’t done anything wrong. Please let me go!” The skeleton caught in the fishing net saw Li Li approaching and immediately knelt down, begging for mercy.

Although he didn’t know what these “adults” were catching them for, he understood that it definitely wouldn’t be anything good, so he couldn’t be caught.

Otherwise, he would really be finished.

“Shut up, you little rascal! Just get in there obediently!” Li Li said impatiently and kicked the skeleton into the fishing net.

Was he kidding? A skeleton trying to play the pity card with him? If the other party had changed its appearance before coming in, he might have believed it, but now he wouldn’t believe the ghost stories of a skeleton. Even if a skeleton was only worth ten Comprehensive Network Coins, this was still a great fortune.

Letting the other party escape would be losing Comprehensive Network Coins for no reason!

“Ahhhh~”

The kicked-in skeleton only had time to let out a scream before quickly falling silent.

Seeing this, the other skeletons immediately ran away screaming, but how could their short legs outrun Li Li? In just a moment, they were all caught.

The most important thing was that they had nowhere to run; everyone was catching them.

“What a headache. I knew I shouldn’t have told them about this money-making scheme. Now it’s great, there’s a bunch of guys competing with us,” Li Li sighed as he looked at the scattered skeletons around him.

These skeletons should have all been theirs! After sharing the money-making secret with the others, they started competing with them.

And now the most frustrating situation had emerged: too many monks and not enough porridge.

“Why is Captain Cat sighing here? Could it be that you’re not happy with my subordinates getting a share of the pie?” The Dragon Queen approached and asked with a smile.

“Of course not. I’m not that stingy. I just wanted to ask, since things are almost done, shouldn’t you be paying up?” Li Li asked, looking at the Dragon Queen. Speaking of which, the other party seemed to be quite “roasted,” her body emitting the aroma of cooked meat. He couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.

“So, Captain Cat is worried that I can’t afford to pay? You can rest assured, this little bit of money is nothing to me,” the Dragon Queen said with a smile.

She didn’t mind Li Li’s appearance. She was very happy to have successfully taken down the Skeleton Kingdom this time. She had eliminated the two Skeleton Kings and obtained what she wanted. It could be said that she had made a huge profit.

As for the minor injuries, she didn’t care at all. In such a large-scale operation, this amount of casualties was already very light.

“That’s good. Remember to pay up soon,” Li Li reminded and turned to leave.

Now that almost all the skeletons had been caught and the task was complete, it was time to prepare to leave.

Otherwise, his shovel officer would be worried sick if he didn’t return.

“Got it,” the Dragon Queen replied with a smile and then commanded her subordinates to gather, preparing to return.

“How was everyone’s harvest? It should be good, right?” Li Li asked, looking at everyone after finishing his conversation with the Dragon Queen.

“Mm, the harvest is good,” Xiong Guang nodded.

“Yeah, it’s just that there are no more skeletons now, which is a bit frustrating. By the way, Captain Cat, are you planning to leave?” Feng Ruxue asked as she saw Li Li putting away his fishing net.

“Yes, things here are almost settled, so it’s time for us to go,” Li Li nodded and said, looking at everyone, “Does anyone have any objections? If not, we can set off.”

“Mm.” Everyone nodded, and then Li Li activated the teleportation.

A flash of white light appeared, and then the group vanished.

“Ah? Where did the seniors go?”

“Yeah, how did they disappear all of a sudden?”

“Teacher, where did the seniors go?”

The students who ran out from the woods were dumbfounded when they saw this scene. They couldn’t figure out what had happened and could only ask Shrek.

Shrek’s scalp tingled when he was asked. How could he possibly know? But in order not to lose face, he said calmly, “These seniors naturally went back. See that magical white light? With my many years of experience, I can tell at a glance that it’s definitely a very powerful long-distance teleportation formation.”

“So that’s how it is.” Hearing this, the students seemed a little disappointed.

“I still wanted to ask the seniors about the place where they live. I didn’t expect them to leave so soon.”

“Yeah, yeah! I wonder when we’ll be able to meet the seniors again.”

“As long as you become stronger, you’ll definitely be able to meet them again,” Shrek said with a smile, comforting his students. “Alright, now is not the time for chatting. Let’s hurry up and leave, otherwise we won’t have a say in what happens later.”

“Mm.” The students nodded and quickly left.

“Finally back. It’s more comfortable at home. There’s no comparison to being outside,” Li Li said, stretching lazily as he appeared in the room. Then he looked at Liu Yun and said, “Sister, you don’t seem very happy that this Cat suddenly appeared. Is there a problem?”

“Of course, I have no problem with you appearing. But you bad guy, can you please not lie on top of me? You’re a bit heavy, and I can’t breathe,” Liu Yun said.

This bad guy suddenly fell down and landed on her, like a cement block hitting her. She almost suffocated.

“Ah? Then Sister, you have to hold on, don’t give up!” Hearing this, Li Li quickly jumped out of her arms.

This was terrifying. Sister was almost suffocating. How could such a horrifying thing happen? Sister had to take good care of herself.

“I was just a little out of breath from you lying on me, not about to die, you little rascal,” Liu Yun said, pinching Li Li’s chubby face.

If she really died that day, it would definitely be from being angered to death by this little rascal. This little rascal never had a nice word to say.

“Oh, oh, then Sister, you rest well. I won’t disturb you anymore,” Li Li said and was about to get off Liu Yun.

But Liu Yun grabbed him and pulled him into the blanket.

“You little rascal, you think you can just leave after disturbing my sleep? There’s no such thing in the world!”

“As compensation, you little rascal must stay here and let me pet you properly.”

“Ah?” Li Li was dumbfounded. Liu Yun rubbed her forehead against his big head.

“It seems Cat Cat is a little busy. Let’s go back first,” Feng Ruxue said to her companions with a smile after seeing this scene.

Looking at the situation, Captain Cat probably wouldn’t be able to come out for a while. They might as well go back to sleep early.

“Mm, we’ve been busy for so long, it’s time to call it a day.”

“Yeah, yeah! Let’s go, let’s go.”

Xiong Guang and the others said with a smile and left one after another.
