Rags to Riches: The Rise of a Dual-Talent Prodigy-Chapter 559 - 551: Get Lost! Vicious Brats!

How did things develop to this point?

Hu Zi stood in the cold water basin, using his tiger paws to energetically scrub the blood-stained sheets, with a bewildered look on his black-gold tiger face.

After forming a blood contract with Little Child B, he finally stopped coughing up blood and fainted.

Upon waking again, he hadn’t eaten the Black Demon Fruit, was tied up, and his contractor looked utterly displeased.

The contractor, who was supposed to be simple and easygoing, scowled darkly and threatened, "Clean the sheets for me, or you won’t get any food for a whole month!"

Beside him, a human cub who seemed even younger sympathetically chimed in, "Brother B, not feeding him for a month, that’s not very nice, is it?"

He was almost in tears, regretting not having contracted this younger, easier-to-please cub when he heard the innocent voice say, "If he’s starved, he won’t have the energy to work. Let’s punish him by making him wash the sheets for a month, that’ll save a lot on the washing machine’s electricity~"

This human cub was even more ruthless! Thank goodness he didn’t contract him!!!

"Hu Zi, your look seems like you’re cursing me." Little Child C sat on a stool, propping his face with an innocent look at Hu Zi, "Do you hate me?"

Get lost! Vicious little cub!

Hu Zi quickly retreated a few steps, assuming an attack posture, warily watching Little Child C.

Eat this child! Then he couldn’t be vicious to him anymore!

Hu Zi was eager to try, just lifting his paw, suddenly feeling a chilly gaze shoot from behind.

Stiffening his neck, he turned his head to see Little Child B with arms crossed, squinting coldly at him, "Why are you sticking your butt up? You’re slacking off every day! Have you finished washing the sheets?"

Hu Zi: What do you mean every day! I’ve only been contracted for an hour!!!

"Whimper~" The Black Gold Cub retracted his stance and trotted over to Little Child B, rubbing his little tiger head against his calf.

Under the eaves, the tiger has to lower its head!

Once he steals the Black Demon Fruit, he’ll take Little Child B and join his clan to establish his own magnificent Magic Beast Empire—

"Contractor, what’s this?"

Not far away came the voice of a young wolf cub, and Hu Zi turned his head to see Qian Qi sitting nearby, petting a silver Little Demon Wolf’s head.

In her palm was the Black Demon Fruit.

"Oh, this is an Energy Fruit, eating it can increase strength." Seeing Qian Ba with a greedy look, Qian Qi was about to remind him not to eat, but felt her palm empty.

Followed by the sound of a gulp.

"No——!!!"

Qian Qi opened her mouth, only to find that she hadn’t had time to speak when a more heart-wrenching voice rang out.

"Black Demon Fruit!" Not far away, the Black Gold Cub staggered over, heavily kneeling in front of Qian Ba, his tiger face full of heartbreak, "No! My, Black Demon Fruit!!!"

"You ’my’ Black Demon Fruit!"

The Black Gold Cub looked angrily at the Silver Little Wolf, struggling to articulate in human language, "You useless wolf, eating it like a devil, such a waste!"

"Huh?" Qian Ba looked at Hu Zi with surprise.

The entire Bright Orphanage, everyone knows it has a master in Qian Qi, pampered by seven older brothers, not to mention a whole Silver Wolf Army to inherit, and no one dares to call it a useless wolf to its face!

This newcomer dared to openly mock it?!

Qian Ba, mortified and furious, immediately retorted back, "You eggless stupid tiger, born unfortunate with malnutrition, only capable of washing sheets, and you want to eat Black Demon Fruit? I think your brain’s been squeezed by your butt, growing a few golden hairs thinking you’re the emperor, but really you’re just a useless, thieving yellow fur!"

"You, you," Hu Zi was so stunned by this fluent human language that his tiger eyes widened, he couldn’t string so many words together, finally flushed with anger, he shouted what he thought was the nastiest retort.

"You underdeveloped premature beast!"

Unknowingly, this hit Qian Ba’s sore spot.

"You dare call me a premature beast?!"

Qian Ba flared up, fury burning within, puffing up like a balloon, bigger and bigger, and bigger...

The Black Gold Cub watched in shock as the "Demon Wolf Balloon" before him expanded, startled into taking a step back, "Ah, it’s flying! Fly up!"

Qian Qi, already frantic, clung desperately to Qian Ba’s wolf leg, shouting mentally at the system searching the database, "System! Save the wolf’s life!!!"

[Searching, searching, damn it, there’s no precedent for a Low-level young beast eating Black Demon Fruit without exploding!]

Even simulations have a 99.999999999% failure rate!

"Qian Ba!" Qian Qi never expected, that her long-time companion Qian Ba, would just burst like this.

After all, she delivered and raised this wolf cub herself!

Qian Qi’s nose tinged with sourness, blaming herself, "I shouldn’t have been so lax, letting you eat the Black Demon Fruit without stopping!"

"Con-Contractor..."

Qian Qi, holding on, replied with difficulty, "I... let go of me..."

"No way! I won’t let go!" Qian Qi clutched its wolf leg tightly, eyes slightly moist, "You’re afraid of not looking good after exploding, wanting to go somewhere I can’t see to die? I don’t agree!"

She didn’t want it to die alone!

"No... contractor..." Qian Ba struggled, "I just... wanted to fart, afraid it’d stink you out..."

Qian Qi: ?

Qian Qi blinked blankly.

"Ah, it’s coming out."

As the words fell, a loud, lengthy fart sounded, shaking the entire orphanage building, freshly plastered walls cracking open again.

And standing diagonally below Qian Ba, Qian Qi felt a moist heat hit her face, carrying the rich aroma of last night’s dinner, and the wolf leg in her hand, due to the recoil, escaped her grasp, soaring towards the sky.

Round-bodied Qian Ba, like a deflated balloon, flew chaotically through the air, little heads peeking out from the orphanage building, eyes full of curiosity looking up at the sky, pointing at Qian Ba and shouting, "Little Eight is flying!"

"It seems to be farting!"

"It smells like braised pork!"

After exhausting its gas in the sky, Qian Ba finally returned to its original form, starting to plummet with gravity.

"Con-contractor! Catch me! I’m going to fall to my death!" Qian Ba cried in panic, all four wolf hooves flailing.

"Coming!" Qian Qi rushed forward to catch it, holding it firmly in her arms.
