Chapter 1313 - 1313: Radish, Cabbage, and Pork Belly

"Eat, eat, eat!"

"I'm starving!"

"Old Ha, grab a couple more steamed buns!"

At the dining table, almost everyone was devouring their food like they had been reincarnated as starving ghosts, only wishing for larger mouths, more hands, fearing that a slight delay would leave them hungry.

Among them, Lone Wolf and Titwa were the most unrefined, grabbing roasted chicken and duck directly with their hands.

Even the others lost their decorum, starting to act shamelessly.

"You heartless bunch! I just helped you with an idea, yet you won't even let me use my chopsticks for the meal I cooked!" Old Ha glared angrily at Hui Yi and the others.

Growing more furious the more he thought about it, he simply snatched the plate and spat "phoo phoo" twice into it.

The martial monks paused for a moment, then gathered around and also spat a few times into the plate.

This almost made Old Ha, who was about to savor the food slowly, smash the plate!

Luckily, this chaos was stopped by Xiao Feng in time, otherwise tonight's dinner would certainly be uneaten.

At that moment, the young girl left her seat, walked to the stairs, bowed deeply to everyone, and said, "Sorry for the trouble today!"

After speaking, she headed towards the door.

Lu Yao immediately put down her chopsticks and dashed out after her.

Jiang Yixin hesitated for a moment but decided to chase after them.

After all, it was rare to see Mu Shihan like this; if she didn't seize this opportunity and rub some salt into her wound, she'd be letting herself down!

Yeah, that's it, it's not for anything else!

With the girl's departure, the lively atmosphere gradually faded.

Du Qingyue stood up and said, "Everyone should just eat, drink, and not worry about other things!"

Only then did the crowd refocus their attention, diving back into the scramble for food.

Glancing at Xiao Feng beside him, who was eating slowly and delicately, Du Qingyue asked, "What were you discussing with Xue Nuofu outside the door earlier?"

Xiao Feng didn't hide it, honestly replying, "Nothing major, just exploring how to best utilize the talent of Ye Kuto."

"Ye Kuto?" Du Qingyue frowned, then realized, "The one you mentioned, the swearing expert, boss's nemesis?"

"Then you'd better be careful. If you mishandle someone like that, one day he might just lock you in the bathroom while you're inside."

Xiao Feng chuckled lightly, "Then I'll drown him in the toilet."

Jokes aside, Xiao Feng was seriously planning how to utilize Ye Kuto.

After all, times have changed; Ye Kuto used to be just foul-mouthed, great at verbal spats.

But now it's different. This master-level swearing prodigy has surprisingly paired up with Kyoto's Ma Yuliang and the group leader of the Demon Suppression Action Team, yielding unexpectedly good results!

This way, Ye Kuto directly influences how useful Ma Yuliang, the tool man, will be.

Experiencing power firsthand in Kyoto, Xiao Feng knew Ma Yuliang's capabilities well, and naturally didn't want to forgo this strength.

Thus, Ye Kuto will be a priority for protection, and his treatment will gradually improve.

Though Xiao Feng realized Ye Kuto's value anew, he didn't lose his sanity by offering the highest treatment straight away.

Everything must be done in moderation; a gradual approach is best!

With dinner over, Xiao Feng checked the time.

He took a white radish, a cabbage, and two taels of pork belly from the vegetable crate, and headed to the villa's basement.

"Mr. Shao, hungry?" Xiao Feng greeted cheerfully, "See, I didn't forget you, specially brought you a meal."

"How's that, feel moved?"

Leaning against the wall, Shao Baxing looked at the three items placed before him and immediately fumed, "You looking for trouble?"

"Hmm?" Xiao Feng frowned, unhappy, "Don't mistake kindness for a donkey liver. I'm offering you meat and veggies, your attitude isn't right!"

"Xiao Feng, do you really have to disgust me?" Shao Baxing seethed.

"It's unavoidable really, cooking these requires costs too: oil, gas, water, wear of the pan—each costs money!

You've seen it, sir, feeding dozens is a major headache.

To be honest, this radish, cabbage, and pork belly were saved from the gaps in our teeth."

"What do you mean!"

Xiao Feng smiled with squinted eyes, "You'll naturally understand when you're too hungry to bear it.

The stuff's here, don't be shy, eat freely."

"You!" Shao Baxing felt darkening vision, angrily retorting, "How long are you planning to keep me tied here?"

"That depends on Shihan's wishes." Xiao Feng seemed helpless, "She doesn't want to leave, and you tried forcibly taking her.

Hence, leaving you here is my only option.

Oh, by the way, you're not ordinary; probably not bound by ropes or belts.

So, forgive me, but I'll have to give you an injection."

"Stop the nonsense!" Shao Baxing shouted loudly, his voice echoing for three seconds before vanishing completely.

Xiao Feng shrugged, "If you think I'm joking, sorry, I'm not done playing yet!

Enough chit-chat. Radish, cabbage, pork belly, eat or don't?"

Shao Baxing coldly snorted, his forehead veins conspicuous, squeezing out words between teeth, "I'll starve before eating anything of yours!"

"Good! You're spirited!" Xiao Feng gave a thumbs-up, "I'll confirm if you can escape the 'true fragrance law.'"

He then pulled out a tranquilizer, gently injecting at Shao Baxing's tiger mouth.

Honestly, if anyone else claimed "I'll starve before eating anything," Xiao Feng wouldn't believe them!

But hearing it from Shao Baxing, who knows?

Famous for his temper, he might truly starve himself.

To be cautious, Xiao Feng had Xue Nuofu arrange shifts, hourly rotations, to guard Shao Baxing.

...

Early the next morning, Xiao Feng set out with Xue Nuofu to find the currently prioritized protection target, Master Ye Kuto.

While waiting for the door to open, Master Ye's voice already resonated from inside.

"Knocking this early, did you just get back from your ancestors' graves? Really a Sima Rui Zhi iron simpleton..."

The door opened, Ye Kuto's eyes widened, "Whoa!

Xiao, Xiao..."

Xiao Feng impatiently said, "Quit babbling, pack up and come with us."

"Where... don't glare, I'm coming with you!"

In the car, Ye Kuto sat with hands between his legs, shoulders squeezed inward, reluctant to lean back, cautiously asking, "Brother Xiao, oh no, Boss Xiao, may I say something?"

"Speak." Xiao Feng replied from the front seat without turning.

"Ahem..." Ye Kuto cleared his throat, cautiously speaking, "I've been thinking about my foul mouth lately and should change it, earlier..."

"What are you saying?" Xiao Feng suddenly turned, rebuking, "Who told you it's a problem?

I'm telling you, not only shouldn't you change it, you should strengthen it further; if you dare change, prepare for Bai Huanyu's retaliation."
