The Villainous Young Master Just Wants to Live a Laid-Back Life

Chapter 49: Dark Demon Embarks on a Path of No Return

Dark and Senior Pandora actually had very little interaction.

Mostly, it was just a few words exchanged during the registration process when entering or leaving the library.

But to avoid [Lust +1], Dark always ran off after registering.

However, he visited the library so often that, over time, they became familiar.

Though this wasn't what he wanted to see...

Slowly moving away from under Senior Pandora's pressure, he stood up as if composed, smoothing out the wrinkles on his clothes.

Dark turned back and said, "Hello, Senior."

Pandora blinked, the heart-shaped dragon scale under her eye reflecting a gorgeous color.

She crossed her arms and raised her head, "Are you here to buy cat grass?"

Dark originally didn't want to buy any, but then he thought, having a pot of cat grass in the dorm might not be a bad idea?

Raising cats is indeed a good way to soothe the soul.

It helps to relax emotions and reduce stress.

Especially cats that don't require litter scooping!

If used properly, it might be more effective in reducing [Rage] than those legendary magical items.

"Let's buy a pot!"

But before that, he needed to buy a pot of insect tree.

Dark wouldn't get the order wrong.

If buying cat grass led to not having enough credits to buy the insect tree, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?

So he thought about it and said, "I have that intention, but not now."

Pandora then enthusiastically said, "Is there any trouble? If it's a lack of credits, I can offer an interest-free loan, repayable within a month, how about that?"

What's with this practiced approach?

Dark's face darkened, and he quickly said, "I have other important matters, so I won't disturb you, Senior."

As he spoke, he had already stealthily moved half a footstep away.

But Senior Pandola, having finally caught this coincidental opportunity, wouldn't let him off so easily.

Just as Dark was about to move the other half of his footstep, Pandola had naturally blocked his path, squinting and smiling, "Do you have an appointment with someone? Could it be that little girl who often sits behind you?"

→ She was referring to Emma.

Dark didn't take the opportunity to escape but instead said seriously, "Senior, I'm still young."

Pandola was momentarily stunned, then curiously asked, "Don't boys your age dislike being called young?"

Dark then sternly said, "It's an objective fact."

Pandola chuckled lightly, "Then I can only look forward to when you grow up."

Looking at her moist pink lips opening and closing, Dark felt his primal force was almost uncontrollable.

He hurriedly said, "We'll talk about it then."

And then he forcibly crossed the line and hurried away!

...

"We'll talk about it then?"

"Really not cute...♥..."

...

After leaving the "Cat Grass Florist," Dark turned and entered a nearby "Cuckoo Bird Florist."

Dark gave up thinking about what kind of bird a "cuckoo bird" was and directly stepped inside.

The main product of the Cuckoo Bird Florist was a type of tree stump bonsai called "Chirping Tree," which could emit chirping sounds when sunlight slanted onto it, making it a very suitable "natural alarm clock" for dorm rooms.

Dark passed by the myriad of strange Chirping Trees and suddenly perked up, spotting a potted insect tree in the corner!

The insect tree was the relatively cheaper option among the three choices and Dark's first choice.

Compared to [Magic Brain Bottle] and [Advanced Thought Bottle], the insect tree had obvious drawbacks.

One was that its shelf life was greatly affected by the growth condition of the insect tree itself.

If not well maintained, it could easily lead to holes in the branches, causing the substances stored inside the insect branches to leak out, and sometimes even be absorbed by the insect branches themselves.

Another was its limited storage capacity.

Each mature insect branch could only store the amount of 1 to 3 magic brain pipettes, depending on the thickness and length of the branch.

But it also had very clear advantages.

First, each insect branch was separated, allowing different emotions to be stored in different branches.

Second, it wasn't that expensive!

...

After inquiring about the quality, age, and other details of the insect tree, Dark finally asked the key question: "How much is it in credits?"

The owner of the Cuckoo Bird Florist was a plump auntie, who looked Dark up and down and kindly said, "This isn't something a first-year student can afford. Just the selling price is 800 credits, and to keep it alive and well, you need to continuously buy the corresponding potions, which vary each season. It's very troublesome!"

Dark thought about it and asked, "How much are the potions in credits?"

The plump auntie was stunned, then laughed, "Autumn potions are 30 credits per bottle, lasting a month. Winter potions are 50 credits per bottle, also lasting a month."

Dark carefully considered and found it acceptable.

It felt like the insect tree was a form of installment payment, with an initial payment of eight hundred and monthly repayments.

Whereas [Magic Brain Bottle] and [Advanced Thought Bottle] were one-time payments.

The key was, judging from the price of the insect tree, [Magic Brain Bottle] and [Advanced Thought Bottle] were likely beyond his means!

Dark didn't dwell on it further.

He noted down the key points for cultivating the insect tree as mentioned by the plump auntie and then bought the potted insect tree and a bottle of autumn potion.

This insect tree was about eighty centimeters tall, with eight outward-branching insect branches, resembling caterpillars, and the material was quite like rubber sticks.

After packing it in a black bag, Dark peeked out to check the "Cat Grass Florist," confirming that Senior Pandola had left, and then slipped in.

→ He had really decided to buy cat grass!

"Remaining credits 740, more than I expected."

Dark estimated he could still buy quite a few things, so he took a little tour around the Cat Grass Florist.

There were really a lot of cat grasses in the shop, with all kinds of varieties available.

And the cat grasses all looked very well-behaved.

Each one was irresistibly cute.

But as he wandered, Dark suddenly noticed something was off.

Because in front of him appeared a snake!

It was a cobra with its tail buried in a flower pot!

When Dark saw it, it also very keenly opened its eyes and swayed its slender snake body towards Dark's gaze.

He was instantly shocked!

"Don't be afraid."

The clerk at the Cat Grass Florist was a young lady in her early twenties, with her hair tied up with a headband at the back of her head, wearing an apron and gloves, looking very plain.

Perhaps seeing Dark had been browsing for quite a while, she came over and patiently explained, "This is a new variety of cat grass, snake grass, no need to worry about it biting, it's essentially a plant."

Dark wasn't afraid, just a bit surprised: "Since there's snake grass, there wouldn't be..."

"Of course." The clerk lady brushed a curly strand of hair that fell to her eyelid and chuckled lightly, "We just got a new batch, with many types of animal-shaped cat grasses, would you like to go inside and take a look?"
