Chen Zhao didn’t go out today. He just lay on the yellow duck in the pool, basking in the sun.
Obitos slowly moved to the side of the pool.
“Ahda, my father said that he’s ready. He’ll summon you to Hell at midnight tonight.”
“Okay.”
Just then, a figure appeared at the edge of the pool. Chen Zhao opened his eyes to see Normans.
“How did you get in?” Chen Zhao glanced at her. He didn’t think Normans would come here.
“Your door is unlocked,” Normans replied. “You’re not busy?”
“Not really.” Chen Zhao lay on the yellow duck, moving with the waves. “What do you need?”
“Eveleigh wants to hire you to be her swim coach.”
“No,” Chen Zhao rejected without even thinking.
He was pissed just thinking about how Eveleigh had led a group of students to block him last time.
“She’ll pay,” Normans said.
“I won’t go even if she pays.”
“Two hundred thousand dollars,” Normans added.
“How long?”
Normans knew that Chen Zhao cared more about money than his life. Before, he still refused to be Eveleigh’s coach. After hearing the price, he changed immediately.
“Can’t you be a bit more reserved?”
“From her suggested price, I can see that she’s genuine,” Chen Zhao said matter-of-factly. “I never reject a genuine person. Can you toss me the can of beer?”
Normans hurled the beer at Chen Zhao, who caught it accurately with one hand.
“Ten days,” Normans said.
“I’ll accept this request,” Chen Zhao said happily.
“She has a special request.”
“I won’t sell my body.”
Normans rolled her eyes and looked at Chen Zhao. “You like joking around to take advantage of people?”
“Fine, what’s her special request?”
“She wants to see an obvious improvement in her swimming speed.”
“I can’t promise that,” Chen Zhao said.
“Why not?”
“Increasing one second is an improvement, increasing 0.1 seconds is also an improvement. Everyone’s state is different and their abilities are different too. Maybe I’m training her well, but she suddenly gets her period during a meet and turns the pool into a bloody battleground. Will she blame me for that?”
Normans was speechless. “So you don’t want to accept this job?”
“No, I will. Why won’t I?”
“Didn’t you say that you can’t promise her performance.”
“As long as she cooperates with my training, following my every order, then I’ll accept it.”
“I can promise that. She’ll cooperate fully with your training.”
“No disobeying at all.”
“She won’t disobey any of your orders.”
“She’ll eat whatever I tell her to eat.”
“Yes,” Normans said quickly.
“You can answer for her?”
“Of course. She entrusted me, so I have the power to decide for her.”
“Also, there can only be four hours of training per day.”
“You’re getting paid $200,000! And it’s only ten days, and you’re only going to train for four hours?”
“Think about your weight loss days. How much did your father pay me and how many hours did you train for?”
Normans thought back to those miserable days. Chen Zhao’s training was completely random and went with his feelings. Sometimes, it was longer. Other times, shorter.
If he was in a bad mood, he’d add more training and let out his anger on her.
If he was in a good mood, he’d add more training. Torturing Normans made him happy.
If he was in an okay mood, he’d reduce the training for no reason.
So, Normans knew that this guy did whatever he wanted without caring about others’ feelings.
“What if I want to train too?”
“Will you pay?”
“What if I say no?”
“Then just go play by yourself,” Chen Zhao rejected heartlessly.
Normans gritted her teeth. “I’m your old client. Can it be cheaper?”
“What price do you have in mind?”
“One hundred thousand dollars. What do you think?”
“Sure,” Chen Zhao accepted without hesitation.
Training one person was training. Training two was also training. There was no reason why he would miss out on $100,000.
“Can we start tomorrow?”
“No, I won’t be here the entire day.”
“When are you free?”
“I’ll call you when I’m free.”
Normans was pissed, but she couldn’t do anything. Chen Zhao was stubborn. If she complained, Chen Zhao would probably just leave.
“When will you pay me?”
“After the training.”
“Pay me half right now.”
“You don’t trust me?”
“I do, but I don’t trust Eveleigh.”
Normans chuckled. “Fine.”
“You can go now.”
“You’re kicking me out?” Normans was taken aback.
“Am I not clear enough?” Chen Zhao asked naturally.
“Why? I brought you two big jobs. You should at least treat me to lunch. This isn’t too much, right?”
“I have a girlfriend. I won’t eat in my house alone with another woman.”
Normans was angered and she glared at Chen Zhao. “No problem. You think I want to stay?”
“Wait!” Chen Zhao called out just as Normans was about to leave.
Normans was slightly happy. Turning to Chen Zhao, she asked, “What? Are you regret—”
“When you leave, please close the door for me.”
Normans was even angrier now. “I can’t be bothered. Go die.”
“What a beautiful day.” Chen Zhao stretched.
After Normans left, Chen Zhao didn’t keep being lazy either. He didn’t have work today, but he still had to make lunch for the various beasts in his house.
He prepared the food. Princess’ family could eat most of what the demons ate. Brown bears had complicated diets. They could eat meat, fruit, and even honey.
However, they couldn’t eat everything. For example, dragon meat was only for demons with demonic bloodlines, so it had to be separated.
Just as Chen Zhao was about to continue being lazy, he heard a pained cry. He ran in and saw Princess wailing.
“What’s wrong? What happened?” Chen Zhao asked anxiously.
“Master, Princess stole my dragon meat,” White Ma said, feeling wronged.
Princess seemed to be in pain, so Chen Zhao hurriedly went to check. He was burned as soon as he touched Princess.
“Oh no.”
Chen Zhao took out some potion from his spatial ring. This was the demonic potion that he’d made for Walter. He’d made another serving but never used it.
If he didn’t pour it down Princess now, she wouldn’t be able to withstand the dragon meat. It was toxic to her.
Dragon meat contained demonic power. Those without demon blood couldn’t withstand the power.
Chen Zhao had wanted to have a true pet, but now, he had no choice but to turn Princess into a mixed demon too.
Chen Zhao didn’t go out today. He just lay on the yellow duck in the pool, basking in the sun.
Obitos slowly moved to the side of the pool.
