An encounter with a Anomaly

"Sweetie, do you still have any of that soap?"

Anyone who had used the soap Slime Tuantuan produced knew how good it was.

It really was that amazing!

Using it regularly not only improved their skin, but washing with it once in the morning also left them smelling lovely all day.

The scent was very natural. President Fu hated the smell of perfume, so none of his secretaries could wear anything too strong.

That made things miserable for the secretary with a bit of body odor.

A faint perfume couldn't cover her body odor at all.

So she basically never dared to go near the big boss.

But the soap Qin Yan had given her had completely solved her problem.

Her body odor was gone. She no longer had to worry about people giving her strange looks, and she smelled lovely, too.

After she went home and used it, she smelled of fresh lemons all day. Her family had even chased after her to ask what was going on.

Once they learned it was the soap's effect and tried it themselves, the desire for more was written all over their faces.

But she only had that one bar, and she used it sparingly herself. After all, it wasn't available in stores.

Liu Shu pressed her palms together. "Please, I'm begging you. That soap is so important to me."

After years of being plagued by body odor, she had finally found a solution. She really wished she could stockpile more of that soap.

The others said they needed it, too.

"That soap is incredible. Even my best friend asked me for some."

"Exactly. Can't this soap be mass-produced and sold? I'd definitely buy a whole bunch. It'd be great to stock up for myself or give as gifts."

Qin Yan was happy to see how much everyone liked Tuantuan's soap.

There were only a few people in her family, so they couldn't use that much.

"There are still ten bars at home."

Liu Shu's eyes immediately lit up. "I'll buy them! I'll buy them! Any scent is fine!"

The other secretaries clamored for some, too.

"Then I'll ask my eldest uncle to bring them tomorrow," Qin Yan said in her sweet little voice.

She didn't know whether she would be coming tomorrow.

As though afraid she wouldn't give them any, some people immediately stuffed money into Qin Yan's hands.

Liu Shu was one of them, paying the same price as last time.

One thousand yuan per bar of soap.

It was such a bargain!

"Darn it, I didn't bring any cash!"

Qin Yan didn't have a phone, so naturally they couldn't transfer money to her.

Someone hurried off to borrow money.

Before long, Qin Yan was holding a big pile of cash.

There were already ten buyers.

"Argh! Stupid legs! Why did you run so slowly?"

Those who arrived too late were filled with regret.

Qin Yan had already carried all that money into her eldest uncle's office.

Fu Nanshan was staring blankly at the Calico Cat lying beside his feet.

Yes, Zhaocai, the company's Calico Cat, had come into Fu Yunting's office.

At the sight of Qin Yan, Zhaocai wanted to run over, but seeing Jinbao beside her, the cat grew a little frightened, fur bristling.

"Where did all that money come from?"

Both uncles stared at her as she was now.

With much huffing and puffing, Qin Yan put all the money on the sofa, then settled beside her youngest uncle.

"Tuantuan earned it."

The soft little girl stroked the Slime's smooth head.

"Everyone really likes Tuantuan's soap."

Tuantuan bounced proudly a few times.

Despite being a transparent blob, Tuantuan had emoticon faces.

Right now, the expression was a happy one.

Fu Yunting understood.

So it was the soap.

All the soap Tuantuan produced smelled nice, and he didn't mind it either.

Lately, they had even been making roundabout inquiries about the soap.

Mass production?

That one tiny Slime could only produce one bar of soap a day. Mass production, his ass.

"One thousand yuan for a bar of soap isn't a bad deal."

He sorted out some documents, then tossed them to Fu Nanshan.

Since he was already here, he could forget about sitting around slacking off.

Fu Nanshan: ...

Forced to help, Fu Nanshan got to work while Qin Yan watched cartoons nearby with Jinbao, Tuantuan, and Zhaocai.

After about half an hour, she was told to go outside for a walk.

She held Tuantuan, with Zhaocai and Jinbao on either side.

Zhaocai was only an ordinary cat, after all, and was afraid of Jinbao.

But after Qin Yan soothed the cat for a while, Zhaocai's fur finally stopped bristling.

"Zhaocai, don't be scared. Don't be scared."

Inside the elevator, Qin Yan crouched down to comfort Zhaocai.

She was on her own today. Secretary Lin hadn't come along.

With Jinbao there, the two Fu brothers felt reassured.

Qin Yan behaved herself, too. She didn't run off anywhere else, only playing with the cats downstairs outside the company.

She had brought cat treats again.

In the blink of an eye, the sweet, gentle little human was completely surrounded by cats.

Jinbao lay on a flower bed not far away.

"There's enough for everyone. Don't push."

"Haven't you already eaten? That's naughty."

In her sweet little voice, the little girl scolded certain naughty cats that had already eaten but still shoved the others aside to snatch more food.

Just as Qin Yan was enthusiastically feeding them, every cat suddenly bristled.

The little girl stared blankly, not knowing what had happened.

"Have you seen my husband?"

An eerie woman's voice came from behind her.

A little frightened, Qin Yan turned to look.

The first thing that met her eyes was a swath of red.

"Mrowrr!!!"

Although frightened, all the cats bristled and stood in front of Qin Yan.

The little girl timidly raised her head, the woman's image reflected in her dark eyes.

She wore a bright red wedding gown, her hair hanging loose. Her face was so pale it looked slightly blue, her eyes were somewhat vacant, and she held a dagger.

There seemed to be blood on the dagger, dripping down.

She paid no attention to the cats, only staring fixedly at Qin Yan as she asked again in an icy voice.

"Have you seen my husband?"

Qin Yan swallowed, holding back the tears in her eyes.

"Have you seen my husband?"

She moved a little closer to Qin Yan, asking over and over, her terrifying eyes fixed on her.

"N-no."

Qin Yan shook her head, her voice trembling with fear.

The next second, the woman seemed to go mad.

"Where did he go? Where did he go?"

"Die! You all deserve to die!"

Her voice grew increasingly shrill and piercing. Even the air around them seemed to turn a suffocating red.

She raised the dagger in her hand.

"Mrowrr!"

The cats attacked her.

"Woof!"

Suddenly, a loud bark seemed to ring out from somewhere far away.

Then came a sound like something shattering around them.

Her little face deathly pale, Qin Yan watched as a powerful force struck the woman with the raised dagger and sent her flying.

Bang...

She slammed into the flower bed, smashing a gap straight through it.

Jinbao appeared in front of Qin Yan like a knight, eyes turned red and fixed on the woman in the wedding gown.

You dare bully my master right under my nose? You're asking for death!

With that, Jinbao charged over and pinned the woman beneath one paw.

Boom...

As though struck by a weight beyond what it could bear, that patch of ground split into a web of cracks.

The woman in the red wedding gown began to struggle.

Jinbao gave her a completely one-sided beating.

Soon, the gorgeous yet eerie red wedding gown peeled away from the woman's body and floated up, trying to escape.
