Pretending To Be A Boss

```

But the author of the Classic of Mountains and Seas was just blathering after all, if he had ever tasted fox meat, he would know that it's fiery if you eat too much, even more so than dog meat.

Qing JiuYu was still Qing JiuYu, even her anger was tinged with annoyance.

"I must remind you that Shiling comes from the Beast Court, a place I'm not familiar with, but amongst the myriad beasts, no one dares to provoke the court."

"Just like Kong Jia eating dragons, once it's in the belly, who knows where it has gone? We all eat its meat, you don't tell, I don't tell, and it won't be able to tell, how would the court know?" Tang Xian thought to himself that he was being quite righteous.

Heading over to deliver meat personally, Bai Mansheng on the other side certainly didn't have this treatment.

Naturally, he had to give Qing JiuYu a heads-up, so she wouldn't go off to show off to Bai Mansheng.

After pondering for a while, Qing JiuYu said:

"I can pretend I don't know about this, but I can't get involved in it."

Tang Xian said:

"Is the Beast Court that strong?"

"Very strong. I only know that there definitely are beings within it that are more powerful than me. And the court's control over this world is far beyond what you can imagine."

Qing JiuYu still didn't want Tang Xian to do something reckless.

Tang Xian became serious and said, "Then it must be delicious. Otherwise, wouldn't I be at a loss?"

Qing JiuYu was taken aback, failing to follow Tang Xian's train of thought.

Tang Xian said:

"Are you going to eat it or not?"

"I won't."

"It's tastier than a mountain-taming beast, and this time I will use the best seasoning. If you don't eat it, I'm leaving."

Tang Xian grabbed Tang Bingxiang by the back of the neck, and Tang Gazi was squatting on Tang Xian's shoulder. After saying that, he was ready to walk out.

Tang Feiji didn't care about the danger of eating the Shiling, in its eyes, it was the number one in the world after the death of the Sea God.

Upon hearing it was tastier than mountain-taming beast, Qing JiuYu felt a sense of craving and called out to Tang Xian, "Wait! Are you sure it won't be discovered?"

"Once it's in the stomach, how can it be discovered?" Tang Xian smiled as he looked at Qing JiuYu.

"I feel like you just want to drag me down with you."

"Just say if you'll eat it or not?"

Tang Xian looked at Qing JiuYu half-smiling.

After thinking it over for a while, Qing JiuYu nodded and said:

"Then I… will just have a little bit. When do we start cooking?"

Now that she had decided to eat, Qing JiuYu was no longer reserved, immediately urging him on.

Tang Xian said:

"Good things should be shared with everyone. How about I take you for a stroll in the Human World?"

"Why did you suddenly change your mind?" Qing JiuYu remembered that Tang Xian had opposed her going to the Human World last time.

"Don't ask so many questions, Xiaojiu really misses you."

"Okay, I miss Xiao Ni too. By the way, did you call Bai Mansheng?"

"No, don't worry."

"That's no fun, I was looking forward to Miss Bai watching me being eaten by her man."

Tang Xian ignored Qing JiuYu's teasing and said:

"If you go off bragging again, I won't come looking for you in the future."

"Tsk, Tang, you really are protective of Miss Bai."

Tang Xian frowned:

"You might as well stop calling yourself Qing JiuYu and just change your name to Tang Pinru."

...

Baichuan City.

When Tang Xian returned to Baichuan City, it was already the evening.

Quite a few rats and cockroaches had started to wake up.

Lights were shining from the top of the residential buildings.

The Shiling Beast that had recently died was encased in ice blocks at Tang Feiji's direction, just as Tang Xian had requested.

It was to keep it fresh. The giant Shiling Beast was already blocking the street.

Tang Xian was actually quite comforted by the sight of the Shiling's iced corpse; not even rats could bite through the ice, and the meat wouldn't rot.

The commotion was considerable when Tang Feiji put it down.

In the residential buildings, several people who were patiently waiting for Tang Xian to return and mess with the dinner started to stick their heads out.

Then Tang Xiaojiu jumped down from the ninth story.

Of course, Tang Xian knew that Tang Xiaojiu wouldn't be hurt, but he still instinctively caught her a little.

Immediately after, a notification of resistance +1 popped up in his head.

At the same time, he suffered a certain percentage of life damage.

Tang Xian was calm; after all, he was but a frail human being.

It was normal for a falling little fox to inflict effective damage upon him.

But he still said:

"Tang Xiaojiu, you're already so heavy at the age of six, are you aiming to become a tank in the future?"

Tang Xiaojiu ran towards Qing JiuYu.

After being scooped up by Qing JiuYu, she said in confusion:

"I'm a little fox, Tang Xian, not a tank."

Tang Xian didn't bother to argue. Kids are cute when they're chubby and plump anyway.

The real trouble began after that.

No woman could help feeling inferior when faced with Qing JiuYu.

This was the ultimate template of female charm, the peak of beauty.

Seeing Tang Xiaojiu's joyful expression, Li Xiaoyu knew who this woman was.

Her expression was more serious than ever as if she had met the challenge of a lifetime.

In Li Xiaoyu's view, this woman in palace attire, enchanting and stunning, was a bigger threat than Tang Suoye, Tang Xiaojiu, Qiao Shanshan, Dong Ran, and all the others combined.

The thought of Bai Mansheng, another woman of equal beauty, made Li Xiaoyu feel as if her journey was long.

But she didn't lose heart.

"You're back, huh?" Li Xiaoyu said gently, like a wife waiting at home for her husband after work.

Dong Ran was shocked.

Qiao Shanshan was shocked.

Akasi was shocked too.

This Miss Second, who usually didn't put herself on a high pedestal, had never spoken to Tang Xian with such gentleness before.

Her tone had always been cool, bordering on indifferent, never this tender.
