Chapter 393: Deception is Such a Hassle

On the sunny, bright grass, Liu Yun held a bamboo pole with a chicken leg tied to it, pulling it up and down in front of the Tabby Cat who was lying on his back with his legs propped against a tree.

And below the chicken leg, the Tabby Cat’s upper body rose and fell as the chicken leg moved up and down.

Yuan Ni, who was standing to the side, couldn’t help but laugh when she saw this: “Did everyone see that? Fat Plum is working hard to lose weight. I believe it won’t be long before we can see a slim Fat Plum.”

The viewers in the live stream expressed their delight upon hearing this, but also voiced their concerns: “We’re happy that Fat Plum is losing weight, but will his cheeks shrink along with it?”

“Yeah! Fat Plum’s cheeks are the most beautiful part of him. Is there a way to make him only lose fat and not the flesh on his face?”

“Yes, yes. If he loses the flesh on his face, Fat Plum will become just like any other cat.”

“Uh, when Fat Plum loses weight, his face will naturally slim down too. How can someone lose weight in their body but not their face?” Yuan Ni said with a wry smile after seeing the viewers’ comments.

Who loses weight and only their body slims down but not their face? Unless their face is all bone, which Fat Plum clearly isn’t.

Just look at his double chin and his soft, pinchable cheeks, you’ll know that his cheeks are all flesh, you can’t even feel a bone.

“Meowww~”

“If that’s the case, then Fat Plum will lose his soul. He won’t be the Tabby Cat with the biggest face anymore.”

“Yeah, yeah! Fat Plum will eventually leave us. He’s about to become Skinny Plum.”

Upon hearing this, the viewers in the live stream couldn’t help but wail.

Their Big Fat Plum, is he really going to be gone forever? Is there no way for Big Fat Plum to lose weight and only slim down his body but not his face? “Mimi, how is it? Is the chicken leg delicious? Come on! Do a few more push-ups.”

Liu Yun lowered the chicken leg a little so that Li Li’s Clone could reach it and said with a smile.

You have to admit, when it comes to creating content, Yuan Ni is a professional. She just wanted to shoot some videos to get it over with.

But Yuan Ni is different. She went straight into creating engaging content. You have to say, the content she created was quite good. No wonder she can be a Famous Streamer.

“Meow, meow. It’s delicious, but how long do I have to keep acting?” Li Li’s Clone mumbled, “Miss originally said we just need to shoot a video, but now we’re even live streaming.”

He just wanted to ask when it would be over. He still had to catch up on his sleep.

“Take it easy, don’t rush! Mimi.”

“Ni Ni just started live streaming not long ago. You want to end it now? Then she won’t be able to continue the live stream, right?” Liu Yun said with a smile.

“But you can’t just leave me hanging here. I’m tired.” Li Li mumbled as he chewed on the chicken skin, his face full of reluctance.

“It’s okay, it won’t delay your sleep. I’ll only stream for a while.” Yuan Ni said with a smile, muted the microphone, and rubbed Li Li’s big round face, “The viewers are worried that your cheeks will disappear after you lose weight. It seems that your cheeks are your true essence.”

“Of course, these guys are always staring at my face.” Li Li smacked his lips and said, “Now that they hear I’m going to lose weight, they’re naturally reluctant. But that’s the effect I want.”

Once he gets rid of his cheeks, he won’t be eye-catching anymore, and he believes he’ll become a has-been cat by then.

“Come on, you have to actually lose weight for that to happen.” Liu Yun said with a chuckle, raising the bamboo pole again.

The small chicken leg went “swoosh” and rose along with it. Seeing this, Li Li couldn’t help but be stunned and said:

“Miss, you can just talk. Why did you pull the chicken leg up? We’re just putting on a show for others. You don’t have to be so cruel, do you?”

“You’re not wrong, but since we’re acting, we have to do it properly.” Liu Yun said with a smile, then lowered and raised the chicken leg again, like fishing.

Li Li couldn’t help but roll his eyes when he saw this. Miss is having fun again? She’s really playful.

“Mimi, don’t just watch, cooperate.” Liu Yun said when she noticed Li Li wasn’t moving.

“Oh, oh.”

Li Li nodded when he heard this and pretended to cooperate.

I have to say, although it was pretending, it was really tiring.

“A Liang, what are you staring at your phone for?”

Inside the martial arts school, Li Hao noticed A Liang staring at his phone and asked.

“What else could I be looking at? Watching cat fishing, of course.” Li Hao, who was asked, flipped his phone to show the other party.

“So it’s Fat Plum being lured by a chicken leg. I thought it was something else.” A Liang couldn’t help but laugh when he saw this.

Sister Yun’s move is really clever, borrowing the method of using a carrot to lure a donkey.

She’s directly luring Fat Plum here. But I have to say, Fat Plum’s waist is really good, moving like a little motor.

“Yes, but this is not Li Li’s real body, it’s his clone.” Li Hao sighed as he took his phone back.

“Oh? Is Fat Plum playing the trick of shedding his mortal coil again? What’s the reason this time?” A Liang asked curiously.

After all, this wasn’t the first time Fat Plum had used this trick.

“He said it was because he couldn’t get food.” Li Hao shrugged, “Didn’t Li Li plan to pretend to break his leg so everyone would deliver food to him and he wouldn’t have to run around? Not only did the plan fail, but everyone thought it was because he was too fat that he fell.”

“So now the students and the shops outside won’t give him special treatment anymore to prevent him from becoming obese and getting hurt.”

“So that’s how it is, no wonder he left. But it’s ridiculous that he shot himself in the foot.” A Liang couldn’t help but laugh after hearing this. Fat Plum likes to pretend.

Now it’s good, right? He dug his own grave. If he doesn’t lose weight successfully, I’m afraid he won’t be able to cheat for food anymore.

“Yeah! I don’t know what Li Li is thinking either.” Li Hao sighed and put his phone away:

“Okay, Brother Liang. I’m going outside to teach the students. You rest here for a while.”

“Okay! You go ahead. I’ll just watch the live stream and see what Fat Plum’s clone is up to.” A Liang nodded and watched Li Hao leave.

Then, he picked up his phone and watched.

As expected of a streamer, the content she creates is really out there.

Not only did she make Fat Plum do sit-ups by luring him with a chicken leg, but she also prepared a large basin of water for him to practice backstroke.

Is she planning to train Fat Plum to be a backstroke champion? It’s really funny. I wonder how much food they gave Fat Plum to make him cooperate like this.

——

“Great King, we have already taken the Twelve Prefectures of the Nine Provinces. Should we continue our advance?”

In the Other World, Li Li was lying on a large deck chair.

The Yellow Weasel standing beside him asked with his paws clasped.

Li Li, who heard this, lazily turned over:

“Go ask our employer if he wants to attack. Anyway, he’s the one who paid for our entrance fee this time, so let’s do as he says.”

“Yes, Great King.” The Yellow Weasel replied and went to ask the employer of this mission.

The other party hired them to attack the Twelve Prefectures of the Nine Provinces this time. Although they didn’t give much reward, who cares since this is a place that hasn’t been looted? Otherwise, he wouldn’t even look at this meager reward.

“It’s been three months since I came out. I wonder how things are going over there? Has the clone lost weight? Although there is a lot of delicious food here, the seasoning is too monotonous. I still miss the abundant material world of modern society.”

Li Li, watching the Yellow Weasel leave, couldn’t help but stretch and then continued to gnaw on a large carp.

This world where cultivating internal strength makes you a top expert is really boring. Such a large area was conquered by them in half a month.

I don’t know why this little guy wants to occupy so much land. Is it just to be a local emperor?

It’s so boring. He’s already a Player, but he’s still fixated on this mediocre piece of land. I don’t know what’s going on in his head.

“Great King, Great King, the employer came over himself.” Just as Li Li was muttering, the Yellow Weasel who had just run out came back.

“Oh? He came over himself? Then it saves you a trip.” Li Li said with a smile upon hearing this, and sat up from the deck chair:

“Let him in. I’ll ask him what he plans to do.”

“Okay, Great King.” The Yellow Weasel replied, and waved towards the door. Soon, a figure walked in.

It was the employer who commissioned this mission. As soon as he entered, he immediately cupped his fists towards Li Li and said: “Greetings, Cat Great King!”

“Yes, greetings to you!” Li Li nodded and said, “We have conquered all the territory you requested according to your requirements. Do you want to continue north now, or do you intend to stop here?”

“If you intend to stop here, then your men need to move quickly, lest the enemy counterattacks.”

“If you want us to continue fighting for you, then you have to add more money.”

“I’ve decided to stop here. After all, Cat Great King, you’ve seen it. I only have this many men under my command. It’s useless to conquer more territory if I can’t manage it. It’s easy to backfire.” The man said with a smile upon hearing this.

Li Li nodded and said: “Okay! Since you’ve said so, I’ll have my men assemble and prepare to go back. You should also have your men quickly take control of various places.”

“Yes, yes!” The man replied, and saw Li Li wave his paw:

“Little Huang, go inform the little ones that it’s about time to come back. Don’t linger out there for me. We’ll be leaving for more than half a month this time, it’s time to go back.”

“Yes sir, Great King.” The Yellow Weasel nodded repeatedly upon hearing this and turned to go do it.

The man, seeing this, smiled and took out several boxes of gold and silver jewelry:

“This is a small token of my appreciation. I hope Cat Great King won’t dislike it. After all, you know there’s nothing good in our world, only these worldly possessions.”

“I don’t dislike it, I don’t dislike it. This is my favorite.” Li Li said with a smile upon hearing this. With so much gold and silver jewelry, it’s enough for the girls to take turns wearing new pieces every day. Now they can’t say he didn’t bring them gifts after going out for a trip, right?

“That’s good. Then I’ll go arrange for my men to take over the positions of the demon brothers.” The man couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief seeing that Li Li liked it.

“Yes, go ahead, go ahead.”

“It’s good that you settle things here early. I hope we’ll have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future.” Li Li said, waving his paw. The man smiled, bowed, and left.

After the man was completely gone, Li Li couldn’t help but shake his head.

This guy is really boring. Who would want his measly treasures? He’s actually worried that I’ll take the opportunity to rob him.

But it’s fine. He’s been tired of staying in this place for a long time. It’s just the right time to take the little ones who have been honed to go make a fortune.

Thinking of this, Li Li urged his men to hurry up.

——

Half a day later, there was movement in the room.

Then Li Li pushed open the door and walked out: “There’s no dust on the floor, and the water is fresh. It seems that people just left not long ago.”

“Little Huang, take the little ones out to relax first. I have to go and see if there’s been any trouble while I was gone.”

“Yes! Great King.” Upon hearing this, the Yellow Weasel following behind him took the Ten Thousand Demons Peak and left.

Seeing this, Li Li went to Liu Yun’s place.

“Miss, do you think it’s appropriate for me to look like this now? According to the three-month weight loss method, it should be fine for me to be this thin, right?”

Li Li’s clone asked Liu Yun who was beside him. After three months of unremitting efforts, he felt that it was time for him to show his very thin side.

“It’s okay, but it feels a bit too fast. Even if you lose weight, your face won’t become sunken, right?” Liu Yun said after seeing this.

Whose cat loses weight for three months and becomes as thin as a skeleton? Fat Cat is going too far.

“Yeah, you’re losing weight too fast. You have to let everyone recognize you. You look like a completely different cat now.” Yuan Ni, who was beside them, also chimed in.

“Okay, then it’s fine for me to be a little rounder, right?” Li Li’s clone said, and began to adjust his body shape again.

Since he can’t be too thin, it should be fine to be a little fuller.

“That’s good. Sister thinks you look good like this. You’re not too thin, and you still look fleshy.” Liu Yun immediately called a halt after seeing this.

“Yes, yes, this is just right. Sister Yun has a good eye.” Yuan Ni also agreed upon hearing this.

Hearing the two of them speak, Li Li immediately stopped expanding his body: “Misses, you two said it’s okay. If I can’t get any food later, you two will be responsible.”
