"What seems a bit off?"
Just as Zhou Li finished asking, he felt an itch on his calf, as if a soft, small paw was scraping at his trouser leg.
Looking down—
Lord Dumpling was gazing up at him, speaking softly and gently, "Zhou Li, Lord Dumpling wants to go out and play..."
Zhou Li was in the middle of discussing serious matters!
So, the serious matter had to be put aside first.
So Zhou Li bent down, picked up Lord Dumpling, and asked in a tone used to cajole children, "Where does Lord Dumpling want to go play?"
"Go out to play?"
"To run a scam?"
"No," Lord Dumpling allowed him to hold him, his little face serious, "Lord Dumpling is a very powerful Great Demon, with a noble status, and should not stay in a small house every day."
"Then, how about I take Lord Dumpling out for a drive later? I'll carry Lord Dumpling in a kitten bag."
"Lord Dumpling wants to walk on his own."
"Alright~"
Only then did Zhou Li turn back to Huai Xu.
