Chapter 200: The Worries of the Rich Young Lady

　　"Ahem!"

　　Lu Fei coughed forcefully.

　　"Huzi, instead of serving tea to the guest, what are you babbling about here?"

　　Huzi was so scared that he nearly jumped up.

　　"Boss, how come you walk without making a sound?"

　　Su Ningxue, not yet satisfied, urged, "What, what is it? Tell me quickly."

　　"No, nothing. Um, Miss Su, the tea has cooled, I'll go get you a fresh cup." Huzi picked up the teacup and ran off as if escaping.

　　"Manager Lu, I just heard from Hu Zi that you go up mountains and down rivers, not only to collect evil objects, but also to subdue demons and monsters! That's so cool!"

　　Su Ningxue stood up and looked at Lu Fei, her eyes sparkling like stars.

　　"Miss Su, don't listen to his boasting. You might as well read a novel," Lu Fei waved his hand. "There's nothing fun here; you should go home. Please convey my thanks to your father for his help."

　　"I don't believe you. My dad also said you're very powerful! He rarely compliments anyone!" Su Ningxue waved vigorously at Hu Zi, "Stop what you're doing, I'm not thirsty, keep talking, I haven't heard enough!"

　　With Lu Fei around, Hu Zi didn't dare to boast, and could only pretend he hadn't heard anything.

　　"How boring!" Su Ningxue pouted, then suddenly noticed the little black dog by Lu Fei's feet, her eyes lighting up instantly, "Oh, where did this little dog come from? It's so cute!"

　　She immediately put the black cat aside and went to pick up the little black dog.

　　The little black dog wagged its small tail, looking adorable as it leaped into her arms, rubbing against her chest, showing a cute yet perverted expression.

　　Unaware of this, Su Ningxue still affectionately held the little black dog in her arms.

　　Lu Fei and Hu Zi were dumbfounded.

　　This little one, knowing all this at such a young age?

　　When the black cat saw a dog vying for attention, it was so angry that its fur stood on end. It bared its teeth at the little black dog and raised its sharp claws.

　　"Mimi, no!"

　　Seeing the situation, Su Ningxue immediately intervened.

　　But it was already too late.

　　The black cat swiped at the little black dog with its paw.

　　Greatly alarmed, the little black dog immediately jumped out of the fragrant embrace and lunged fiercely at the black cat.

　　Although both were clad in dark skin, the black cat was an adult, and had fought a snake demon and eaten snake eggs, making it far from an ordinary cat.

　　Lu Fei had seen its ferocity in the past.

　　The little black dog, having only recently been weaned, was still just a puppy, even if it was a spiritual hound, and was much too young to compare with the black cat.

　　"Little one, come back quickly!"

　　Lu Fei was afraid that the little black dog would be at a disadvantage.

　　But what happened next left everyone speechless.

　　The little black dog directly pounced and knocked the black cat to the ground, pinning it under its chubby little paws.

　　Its pitch-black eyes stared at the black cat, exuding a cold and fierce light.

　　The black cat was actually scared!

　　It trembled, letting out a pitiful cry.

　　Everyone stood frozen in place.

　　The little black dog was not even as big as the black cat, yet it managed to knock down the black cat, and the black cat did not dare to fight back.

　　No one had realized before how powerful this little thing was.

　　Could it be due to absorbing the fish demon's flesh?

　　"Wow, when did this little guy become so fierce! Let go quickly, don't hurt Miss Su's cat." Hu Zi, in a panic, rushed forward.

　　But the little black dog suddenly turned its head, its eyes flashing with ferocity, startling Hu Zi with a jolt.

　　"Little one, let go!"

　　Lu Fei quickly stepped forward and scooped up the little black dog.

　　The ferocity in the little black dog's eyes immediately faded, and it turned back into a cute, foolish-looking puppy.

　　After freeing itself, the black cat hurriedly ran back to Su Ningxue's side, rubbing its head against her fair calves, meowing pitifully as if complaining.

　　"Alright, Mimi, who told you to hit him first."

　　Su Ningxue picked up the black cat, comforting it for a while, and then looked at the little black dog in surprise.

　　"Manager Lu, what breed of dog is this? It's so impressive. I want to keep one too."

　　"It's just a country dog, not some fancy breed. Miss Su, you should focus on taking care of your cat first." Lu Fei smiled, "Miss Su, you've been out for quite a while now, it's time for you to go back."

　　"There's no one to play with me even if I go back!"

　　Su Ningxue sat down on the sofa, a hint of loneliness appearing on her fair and bright face.

　　"My dad won't let me study abroad anymore, and he won't let me hang out with my old friends. I have to report everything I do."

　　"I feel like I'm living in a cage, with no freedom at all."

　　Huzi expressed his confusion: "What's so great about freedom! Miss Su, you are too blessed and don't know how hard it is to make a living outside. Your house is so big, and you have several nannies. You get food when you open your mouth and clothes when you stretch out your hand. I could only dream of living such a life."

　　"If you like it, then switch with me!" Su Ningxue pouted.

　　"I'd love to switch, but President Su wouldn't agree." Huzi showed a wry smile.

　　This kind of young lady truly doesn't know how fortunate she is.

　　Lu Fei, holding the small black dog, checked the time and urged again, "Miss Su, you really need to go back. If you don't, President Su will start to worry."

　　"I won't leave!" Su Ningsnow huffed, "I came to buy an evil object, and I won't leave until I get one!"

　　Lu Fei frowned slightly: "Why does Miss Su want to buy an evil object?"

　　Su Ningsnow looked at him, hesitated for a moment, then said, "I want an evil object that can make people tell the truth."

　　"Why?" Lu Fei asked in surprise.

　　"I know, you all think I'm a wealthy young miss who has been pampered since childhood, living a life of bliss," Su Ningsnow laughed self-deprecatingly.

　　"But in fact, I don't have any real friends at all."

　　Tiger was shocked: "How is that possible! Miss Su, you are not only from a rich family but also very beautiful. A girl like you is someone many would dream to be with but can't."

　　Lu Fei also showed a puzzled expression.

　　"I knew you wouldn't believe me," Su Ningsnow pouted.

　　"When I first started school, all my classmates were especially nice to me, and even the teachers paid special attention to me. I thought I was really outstanding and well-liked."

　　"If it weren't for overhearing my classmates talking about me behind my back, I wouldn't have known that they treated me that way only because my family is wealthy."

　　"In reality, they don't like me at all. They think I have a spoiled attitude and act superior just because I have some money! They only flatter me because of my family's wealth."

　　Su Ningxue's expression was sullen.

　　"After I grew up, whenever I participated in dance or piano competitions, I always won first place."

　　"Everyone would praise and flatter me!"

　　"I never knew whether I was winning those awards based on my own abilities. Looking at the smiling faces of my so-called friends, I would always think back to my childhood, and how those classmates used to gossip about me behind my back."

　　"I can't tell whether they are genuinely my friends or just trying to curry favor with me because of my family background."

　　"That's why I want a treasure that can make people tell the truth!"

　　Su Ningxue looked up, her bright eyes filled with sincerity.

　　"Manager Lu, if you have an object here that can make people tell the truth, please sell it to me. I really need it."

　　"Miss Su, the truth is not necessarily pleasant to hear," Lu Fei shook his head and said.

　　"I've heard enough pleasant words, I just want to hear the truth. I want to know what kind of person I really am," Su Ningxue said, looking intently at Lu Fei.

　　"Mr. Lu, are you saying that there is such an evil object?"

　　"Sorry, there isn't," Lu Fei replied indifferently.

　　Actually, there was exactly one, known as the Truthworm.

　　But the cost of using it was too high.
