746 -92: Li Xiaoyu’s Wish_2

“Tang Xian?” Qing JiuYu’s sense of smell was the most sensitive, and she quickly detected Tang Xian’s scent.

Tang Xian had also sensed the presence of these three calamity-level bosses early on.

He had gone through too much today and now only wanted to see Li Xiaoyu, so he couldn’t be bothered with pleasantries.

When he was with Qing Baitang and the others, Tang Xian simply said,

“With you three guarding Baichuan City, I feel very relieved.

You’ve worked hard.”

Qing JiuYu and Bai Mansheng exchanged a glance, ignoring Tang Feiji, who was happily accepting the praise, both sensing Tang Xian was preoccupied with something.

“What’s wrong?”

The fox and the snake spoke simultaneously.

Tang Xian shook his head; he had already picked up Li Xiaoyu’s scent, which was fragrant, not a woman’s scent but that of food.

Only then did he feel extremely hungry, as if he had never been this hungry before.

“Nothing much, business as usual.

Just escaped from a judge, feeling a bit tired.

We can talk later about anything.”

Qing JiuYu raised an eyebrow, and Bai Mansheng also pursed her lips, but neither said anything more.

They then exchanged another meaningful look before turning away, once again parting on an unhappy note, each heading to their own quarters.

Only Tang Feiji, still quite clueless, followed behind Tang Xian, saying,

“These two women really don’t have a clue, leaving you alone at this time.”

“Why should they follow me?”

Tang Xian thought to himself that Bai Mansheng and Qing JiuYu knew he was going to find Li Xiaoyu and had considerately left.

What was this big guy following him for?

Tang Feiji replied as if it were the most natural thing,

“You can cook, and so can your lady.

If I follow you, wouldn’t I get to eat something delicious?”

The logic was sound, and Tang Xian found himself unable to argue.

But fortunately, Tang Feiji couldn’t beat him in a fight, and he was kicked away by Tang Xian.

Tang Feiji fell to the ground and watched Tang Xian’s departing figure, his expression one of “Husky astonishment.”

…

…

The commercial street was bright with lights.

Ever since Li Xiaoyu opened Qing JiuYu’s clothing store, the problem with the cold was solved, and more people started to stroll around at night.

The entire city seemed more lively.

When Tang Xian saw Li Xiaoyu, she was busy making braised noodles.

She was very busy.

She was holding a bowl, slurping noodles while looking over various documents, somewhat resembling how ancient homebodies would eat takeout while scrolling down TikTok or Weibo.

Li Xiaoyu was usually very elegant and conscious of her image.

No one would disturb her at this time, and if there were, they would be announced by the guards first.

But it was easy for Tang Xian to bypass these guards, so he saw Li Xiaoyu in a state of disarray due to her busyness.

Tang Xian coughed to make his presence known.

Li Xiaoyu was so startled that her chopsticks fell to the ground, and she looked up at Tang Xian with widened eyes, soup still on her lips.

She glanced between Tang Xian and her bowl several times, her face turning crimson.

Oh no, he must have seen me eating just now.

“When…

when did you get here?”

“I’ve just arrived.”

“Why don’t you…

go through the main entrance?”

“I was in a hurry.”

Li Xiaoyu’s face turned even redder.

“Are you hungry?

I’ll make you a bowl of noodles.”

“It looks very good.

I’ll have a fried egg with it.”

“Okay…”

Li Xiaoyu just wanted to rush into the kitchen because her mind was in a bit of a muddle.

Although Tang Xian could also see her more embarrassing moments, actually being caught in the act still felt uncomfortable.

Tang Xian watched her bustling about in the kitchen, preparing things, noticing the girl was becoming more and more like a little cook.

When the braised noodles were served, the placement of the green onions and fried egg were quite particular.

He found it very appetizing.

Then he thought, having a kitchen to the left and a bedroom at the back in his office space…

this layout really suited him.

He smiled knowingly, savoring the bowl of noodles with great relish.

Li Xiaoyu, on the other hand, was quietly observing Tang Xian.

“You’ve made great progress,” Tang Xian said after finishing the bowl of noodles, his mood significantly improved.

The weight of the day’s events seemed to have dissolved into the delightful flavors that now rested in his stomach.

Yet Li Xiaoyu could still sense that something was amiss.

“You seem preoccupied?”

“What happened later in the mining area?”

Bai Mansheng had returned earlier, and naturally, Li Xiaoyu was aware of the preceding events.

What Tang Xian was grateful for was that he didn’t have to fret over Bai Mansheng and Li Xiaoyu not getting along.

He shook his head and said:

“I went to the headquarters of the Beast Tribunal, then I came back.”

“Is it really that simple?”

Tang Xian paused for a moment, then said:

“It wasn’t that simple, it’s just that not everything needs to be elaborated upon.”

“Oh.

I think you can tell me, I’m tight-lipped, and I’m not stupid either.”

“I underestimated my opponent, and anyway, I’m back now, everything’s safe, but…

I must be more careful and cautious in the future.”

Tang Xian thought about it, having failed against the most formidable entity in the Beast Tribunal.

He had also failed against the most formidable entity in the Pyramid.

Both times he was saved by Bai Shuang, and he felt he had broken his promise.

But this self-reproach had to be suppressed for now, not to show in front of Li Xiaoyu.

“I’m back now, there’s nothing to worry about, so starting tomorrow, I’ll help you take care of some matters in Baichuan City.

What has happened in Baichuan City recently?”

“Um…” In the following ten-plus minutes, Li Xiaoyu very clearly laid out all the events that had occurred in Baichuan City during that time.

What surprised Tang Xian was that the Li family hadn’t returned, although he guessed that they should be returning in a few days.

But how did Bai Shuang know about it?

How could Tang Xian know that Bai Shuang had been in the Pyramid more than once and, because Li Xiaoyu was worried about her family, had inquired about the situation in the Pyramid, and thus informed the Galaxy Club, which deduced these events?

All of this actually happened just a few days ago.

If Tang Xian knew about this, he would be very pleased.

Bai Shuang obviously cared a lot about Li Xiaoyu.

Li Xiaoyu was just talking about Bai Shuang, mentioning the experiences she had with Bai Shuang in recent days.

Tang Xian was very satisfied with it and did not skimp on his praise; Li Xiaoyu had done a great job with this matter.

If it weren’t for Li Xiaoyu’s relationship, even if the Galaxy Club saved him, Bai Shuang with her temperament might not have revealed everything so quickly.

“Big changes will soon take place in the Pyramid, and many people will come to Baichuan City.

Tang Xian, Song Que sent me a message saying he would take back the Song Family.

Then, in the Pyramid, on my family’s side…

there might be some trouble,” Li Xiaoyu said with some concern, able to anticipate the situation herself.

Tang Xian nodded helplessly.

“Would you promise me something?”

“Sure.”

“You’re not even going to ask?”

“I will safely bring back Li Xiaonian, Li Zheng, and Li Wanye, no matter how much the people who come to Baichuan City detest the Li family. freewёbnoνel.com

I will smooth things over for you all.”

Li Xiaoyu suddenly fell silent, just looking at Tang Xian.

Tang Xian said:

“We’ve already sacrificed a lot to return humanity to their world.

There’s no need to lose more.

What you’ve done for Baichuan City is also akin to redeeming the Li family, so all this is fair.”

“Thank you,” Li Xiaoyu truly understood.

If the Pyramid hierarchy were no longer trusted, if people found out that everything for hundreds of years was a sham, that the outside world was habitable,

then the Li family would probably become the most despised entity.

How difficult would it be to withstand that pressure?

Tang Xian thought even more deeply.

If Li Wanye made a choice, it must be because he saw something.

Unless he received some explicit information, Li Wanye would likely waver back and forth.

And that explicit information, Tang Xian pondered, could only come from Constantine.

What had happened to Constantine?

Although they were enemies, deep down Tang Xian didn’t dislike Constantine.

He suddenly felt uneasy.

Tang Xian didn’t know that after his seven days on the sacred mountain ended, Constantine’s seven days had already begun.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing, just wait and see.

In the next few days, let’s see what news comes from Song Que’s side.”
