All my teammates online are my girlfriends

I also made an appointment at a foot massage parlor on the street today. I'm just waiting to finish explaining things to Mao Sanzhi before heading over. I've been walking all day, so it's time to relax!

Nekosan stared intently at her face, and only after confirming that it didn't seem fake did she tentatively speak—

"Um... actually, I'm not planning to go back either."

"Uh-huh???"

This time, it was Cat Witch's turn to look completely bewildered. You want to slack off too?!

Nekosan scratched her face somewhat sheepishly—

"The food here is really good, and I've made some friends. It's much more comfortable than staying in the central courtyard."

"Is your family well-fed?"

"I've been squeezed dry by the prosecutors in the central court, and I only have a small wooden hut left. My friend here said he'd give me a new house later."

"Well, a friend of mine wants to know more about this..."

Listening to Cat Sanzhi's explanation, Cat Witch's eyes turned red. How come this guy seems to be living a more comfortable life than she is?

"If you're sure you don't want to go back, I'll introduce you to her later. That guy is rich, but he has a terrible personality, so you need to be careful when you talk to him."

Do you usually treat others to meals?

"Occasionally, but she gave me a card that's enough for me to buy snacks for ten years!"

"hiss--"

Cat Witch gasped, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

This guy is now on the rich list!

"Eat quickly, and we'll leave as soon as we're done. Who cares about the courtyard? Take me to see your friend!"

"oh-"

......

Tang Feilin, who had been eavesdropping on Mao Sanzhi's situation from beginning to end, expressionlessly pulled out her notebook.

That cat Sanzhi is really bold, daring to talk about me behind my back.

I'll just underreport two digits of my bank card PIN then...

However, she didn't contact Mao Sanzhi to reprimand him; instead, she contacted Bai Ya and the others.

"Bai Ya, have you found anything over there?"

"No signs of enemy invasion were found, but a lot of trash was found, including hot pot base, spicy strips, dried fish, skewers for barbecue, supermarket coupons, etc., all belonging to the same person."

"I understand. These belong to Nekosan's superior. They can be deemed non-threatening at present. Search both sides again to make sure nothing is missed, then you can retreat."

"Yes!"

After giving instructions to Bai Ya, Tang Feilin immediately contacted Lin Qiu's team.

"Lin Qiu, have you found any signs of an ambush on your end?"

"No, I only smelled the aroma of hot pot. Zezhi is already hungry."

"You guys can go over there and freeload. Their superior has already betrayed the Central Court of 'Karakuri'. Bring them back while you're at it."

"Don't you need to beat him up?"

"If the other party makes any improper moves, that's not out of the question..."

354. How could a boss be petty?

"Anymore?"

"We also have one serving of tripe, shrimp paste, and beef. Should we order them all?"

"Let's finish them all, we can't waste them."

"oh-"

As the cat witch skillfully added the last few ingredients, both catgirls happily wagged their tails.

The best feeling is when you don't have to talk about work and can just slack off!

However, what Cat Witch didn't notice was that behind her, several dark figures were silently approaching, their merciless expressions revealing a fierce intent to strike.

Mao Sanzhi also noticed Lin Qiu and the others' approach, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

We're on the same side, no need to fight!

Mao Sanzhi gave a frantic look, and Lin Qiu and the others paused slightly before pretending not to notice and continuing to approach.

Holy crap, what are you doing?! These are really our own people now, don't attack them!

Cat Sanzhi stared wide-eyed in bewilderment. Despite her frantic glare, Lin Qiu and the others were determined not to leave empty-handed and raised their weapons in a frenzy.

As if sensing a strong malice from the depths of her being, Cat Witch suddenly stood up with her cat ears perked up.

As she instinctively turned her head, a fist the size of a sandbag rapidly loomed large in front of her.

"call--"

Yunmo's extremely fierce punch unexpectedly missed its target.

The moment the fist touched Cat Witch's body, it didn't feel like it hit anything solid; instead, it passed right through her.

The figure of Cat Witch slowly dissipated like a phantom, leaving only an afterimage!

"who!!"

A sudden, loud, agitated shout came from afar. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Cat Witch had somehow appeared on a tree in the distance, staring at Lin Qiu and the others with a wary expression.

Could it be that the people in the Central Court have found out about my faked death and are now hunting me down?!

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! These are my friends, Lin Qiu, you've hit the wrong people!!"

Mao Sanzhi glared at Lin Qiu and the others with annoyance, and immediately spoke up to stop them from launching a series of attacks.

These guys definitely didn't want to make a wasted trip, that's why they did this!! This guy is a human!

"Your friend? Why would your friend attack me! Are you sure they're not from Midgard?!"

However, Cat Witch had no intention of trusting them at all. Her eyes remained fixed on Lin Qiu and the others with extreme vigilance, and her magical power was agitated to the extreme.

“They really are my friends. They were worried that I might encounter danger this time, so they came to protect me. They just thought you were someone who would hurt me. Once the misunderstanding is cleared up, everything will be fine.”

Mao Sanzhi explained in a somewhat frantic manner, which drew unfriendly glances from Lin Qiu and the others.

You're already clarifying things before we've even tried the new equipment. Can't you even have a little room to maneuver?

"Really?"

Cat Witch muttered suspiciously. If it weren't for the fact that Cat Three Branches and Hotpot were still there, she would have run away long ago.

Lin Qiu and the others realized they could no longer remain uninvolved, and could only show somewhat embarrassed expressions.

"I'm so sorry, it's all a misunderstanding. We saw smoke coming from here and thought you were going to hurt Nekosan, so we acted a little too quickly."

Listening to Lin Qiu's obviously unserious explanation, Mao Wulu looked at Mao Sanzhi questioningly.

Seeing the other person nodding their little head frantically, his expression softened considerably.

"Nekosan and I are colleagues, I would never hurt her, you don't need to be nervous."

After confirming there was no danger, Cat Witch jumped down from the tree while talking.

Of course, I remained vigilant throughout the process to prevent the other party from lying and trying to deceive me.

I just felt real malice, there's definitely something wrong!

"Well, we were too hasty. To express our apologies, consider this as our compensation."

As Lin Qiu spoke, he took out several packets of snacks from his bag that he had originally intended to give to Master Yunmo, which made Cat Witch stare wide-eyed.

The previous frustration vanished instantly, and all that remained in my eyes were those tempting snacks.

"Well, young man, it's understandable to be a little impatient. Just don't do it again next time."

Cat Witch said calmly, then snatched the snacks with almost instantaneous speed and happily returned to Cat Sanzhi's side.

Although I almost got beaten up, the compensation was pretty good!

"Share some with me, share some with me. I've been eating very sparingly these past few days."

"Get lost! You already have a card that can buy snacks for ten years, and you still want to share this with me?"

Cat Witch glared at her, annoyed. "You even dare to take advantage of your boss?"

"Well, since there aren't any enemies, Mao Sanzhi, you should head back early. We still need to visit a place. Tang Feilin has prepared a grilled fish feast for you."

"A grilled fish feast?!"

Before the cat Sanzhi could react, the cat witch next to him was practically drooling uncontrollably.

Damn, this cat Sanzhi is living a pretty comfortable life every day!

"Then I'll take my boss there first. When will you all be back?"

"It will probably take a while. Zezhi and the others will go back with you. Just the class monitor and I will stay here for a bit."

"Okay, then."

Mao Sanzhi didn't ask any more questions; her attention was completely drawn to the grilled fish feast.

After quickly tidying up the hot pot for Cat Witch, the two catgirls ran towards the foot of the mountain almost without stopping.

Watching the two run off happily, Ze Zhi and the others subtly turned their gazes to Lin Qiu and Yun Mo—

What are you going to do?

"It's nothing, just going to visit the class monitor's mentor. After all, we're already here, so we should at least meet him."

"Yunmo's master?"

Chen Xiao's eyes narrowed, as if he had become interested.

What kind of person could be comparable to one's master?

"We want to go and see too!"

Qi Xi exclaimed that she had been curious about Yun Mo's master for a long time, and now that she finally had the chance to meet him, how could she just go back like this!

Lin Qiu's lips twitched, and he looked at Yun Mo with a questioning gaze.

"If you don't cause trouble, I'll take you. Otherwise, if anything happens, you'll be in for a beating when we get back!"

Yunmo gave a few words of advice, and Qi Xi and the others nodded their heads rapidly, afraid that Yunmo would change his mind.

After confirming that these guys didn't intend to cause trouble, he picked up his bag and pointed up the mountain—

"Come with me. My master lives in a rather unusual location. If you don't know the way, you won't be able to find him at all. Be careful not to get lost."

"okay!"

While the group excitedly headed towards their destination, Tang Feilin, with a dark expression, contacted the hotel's chef.

"Add extra spice to every dish at the grilled fish feast later. Remember, it has to be insanely spicy!"

I need to take leave; my editor is pressing me for the manuscript of my new book.

355. Hey apprentice, could you please pay my internet bill?

"This mountain path is a bit tiring to walk on."

"Come down here and say those kinds of things if you dare."

Lin Qiu couldn't help but roll his eyes at Qi Xi, who was lying on his back and complaining.

This guy didn't want to move after only a few steps; his enthusiasm died off faster than anyone could imagine!

"Well, I was just expressing my feelings on your behalf!"

“I think it would be better for me if you came down; the road here has been leveled.”
