Chapter 106: Liu Zhe’s Declining Luck
“The Pet Beast Center never belonged to anyone; it’s official, for all the common people, not for one person.”
Song Tiantian’s gaze towards Liu Zheng grew increasingly disgusted. At this moment, she showed no signs of backing down. Liu Zhe was indeed powerful, but with so many people present, she didn’t believe Liu Zhe would dare to kill her in broad daylight.
She had not violated any laws.
Song Tiantian walked directly to Human Resources, intending to handle the handover procedures and resign.
Liu Zheng hadn’t expected Song Tiantian to be so defiant even at this point. He glanced at Liu Zhe, whose face was ashen.
However, Liu Zhe indeed did not make a move against Song Tiantian again.
He didn’t dare to kill Song Tiantian outright, unless he was willing to throw away his future.
After all, Song Tiantian had committed no wrongdoing, and she had paid for taking the Wish Bird.
Most importantly, Song Tiantian was too famous.
Dealing with her would be very troublesome.
But even if Song Tiantian left, so what? He had plenty of opportunities to deal with her later.
Liu Zhe did not stop the entire process and even generously announced that anyone who wished to leave the Pet Beast Center could do so together.
However, no one left.
With the Fierce Beast Invasion ongoing and the general environment being unfavorable, a job was a foundation for stability. No one would give it up.
Moreover, a job at the Pet Beast Center was highly sought after; countless people outside were vying for it!
Song Tiantian collected her things. Originally, she hadn’t planned to enter the Secret Realm of Shanhai Town so soon.
Song Tiantian had intended to investigate the Misty Illusion Realm, where Dr. Bai had gone missing.
However, upon inquiring, Song Tiantian learned that this illusion realm was now extremely dangerous. The entrance to the illusion realm was almost out of control, with a continuous stream of fierce beasts emerging from it.
Other Secret Realms in Shanhai Town had also been devoured by this illusion realm.
Jiang Su had already returned to Qingshan City from Shanhai Town because Shanhai Town was too dangerous now.
He wanted to make money, but not at the cost of his life.

The eighteenth floor of the Pet Beast Center.
Liu Zhe stood at a high vantage point, looking down.
“Cousin, you’re just going to let Song Tiantian go like this?”
Liu Zheng was furious. He couldn’t stand it; why was Song Tiantian so arrogant?
Liu Zhe shot Liu Zheng a cold glance. “What, are you trying to order me around now?”
“Supervisor, I feel it’s unfair to you. Song Tiantian is openly challenging your authority. She even casually gave away the Wish Bird you had your eye on. Isn’t this clearly her opposing you?”
“Wasn’t she targeted by a Ghost? With no one to protect her, it’s normal for her to be killed by a Ghost. After all, she was already on the death list; it’s normal for her to die.”
Liu Zhe sipped his tea, sitting on the balcony, and said indifferently to Liu Zheng.
“Supervisor, it would be a shame if she just died like that. She actually has some reputation. Although she’s a nobody from a humble background, I’m willing to sacrifice myself to marry her. Dr. Bai taught her a lot before, and she has some real skills; she has a way of treating fierce beasts.
Then I can also contribute to our Liu family, and in doing so, I can better assist you!”
Liu Zhe couldn’t help but laugh at Liu Zheng’s words. Despite his extreme dislike for Song Tiantian, he couldn’t help but say to Liu Zheng, “You, are you worthy of her? Are you worthy of marrying her?”
Liu Zheng, seeing Liu Zhe’s mocking gaze, couldn’t help but puff out his chest and say to Liu Zhe, “Why am I not worthy? I am a Doctor, learned and talented. For her, a high school student, to marry a Doctor would be a blessing from heaven.”
“How did you get that Doctor title? Should I remind you? It’s fine if you’ve forgotten, but don’t lie to yourself. Liu Zheng, you only have a junior high school education, which is worse than her high school diploma!”
“Supervisor, I was poor and couldn’t afford high school. I could only work and self-study for university, obtaining an associate’s degree, then upgrading to a bachelor’s, then pursuing a master’s, and finally a doctorate! I am very hardworking. Can someone like Song Tiantian, who relies on men to get ahead, be compared to me? Without Dr. Bai, she’s nothing.”
Liu Zhe couldn’t be bothered to argue with Liu Zheng. Advertisements on the roadside offered bachelor’s degree upgrades for two hundred yuan.
As for the doctorate, it was obtained through his connections.
“A woman like Song Tiantian is not someone you can handle. She will never marry you, and even if she did, she could play you to death. You, if you really want to get married, go to the matchmaking corner more often; there are many opportunities there.”
Liu Zhe said somewhat lazily to Liu Zheng.
Song Tiantian’s eyes held no less ambition. She clearly had watched too many “independent female lead” dramas and had been brainwashed by bloggers and the like.
Women nowadays!
They are completely different from women in ancient times. It was better in ancient times! Ignorance was a virtue for women; reading too much made them difficult to control.
Song Tiantian had Blood Qi on her. He genuinely, truly cared for his cousin.
If he married Song Tiantian, and dared to boss her around or provoke her, he wouldn’t even need to wait until midnight; she could end him with a single knife.
He was still thinking about having Song Tiantian teach him skills.
“That’s right, she must have been involved with Dr. Bai, she’s dirty. Our Liu family cannot accept such a tainted woman.”
“Instead of thinking about these things, you should focus on improving your own skills. Do you know who Young Master Yu is? Fortunately, you didn’t kill Young Master Yu’s Pet Beast, or even with ten lives, I couldn’t have saved you.”
Liu Zhe couldn’t be bothered to continue talking with Liu Zheng.
He had taken Dr. Bai’s position this time, risking offending Dr. Bai, all for the Wish Bird.
But the Wish Bird had been let go by Song Tiantian. He feared the Wish Bird had already returned to the Beast Realm, and he would lose it forever.
Killing Song Tiantian would be of no use; the Wish Bird wouldn’t come back.
But all of this started because of Song Tiantian, and he needed someone to bear his anger.
Just as Liu Zhe was about to go kill Song Tiantian, he received a text message from Gongsun Ya: Don’t contact me anymore!
Those few simple words were a critical blow to Liu Zhe.
Gongsun Ya, how could this woman break up with him so quickly? He immediately tried to video call her. Fortunately, Gongsun Ya hadn’t blocked him.
He tried for a long time. When Gongsun Ya rejected the call, he tried again.
He tried for a long time, and the video call finally connected.
In the video, Gongsun Ya, with red eyes, said to Liu Zhe, “I’m sorry, Liu Zhe. I am from the Gongsun Family, and I must represent the Gongsun Family in a Marriage Alliance with the Zhuge Family. Let’s break up!”
“Ya’er, what is going on? Didn’t your father promise me that we could be together?”
Liu Zhe hadn’t expected his declining Luck to have such a swift consequence.
He had finally managed to get close to the Gongsun family’s daughter, so why was she being arranged for a marriage alliance so soon?
“Liu Zhe, my father found out about your affairs. You have truly disappointed me. I asked my father to help suppress this matter for you.”
