Chapter 855: Sit
Chapter 855: Sit
Chapter 855: Chapter 855: Sit "Your ex-girlfriend."
Ruan Tang blinked, adding another word: "s."
"..."
Xu Lai instantly sat up from Ruan Tang’s lap, his divine sense falling to the first floor, his mouth twitching uncontrollably.
Anna has arrived.
He wasn’t surprised by this, after all, it wasn’t the first time. But Fairy Qing Yuan showing up was unexpected...
As well as Baize the Divine General.
Senior sister Yu Guiwan was accompanying the three women in a game of Mahjong, while the middle school syndrome little sister-in-law stood behind Anna, shaking her head constantly:
"You should play the eight-dot."
"I think so too."
Anna scratched her head. In just three hours, she had lost hundreds of pieces of spirit stones of the immortal-grade.
Earth’s Mahjong is really fun.
But it’s such a waste of spirit stones!
Ruan Lan walked behind senior sister with hands behind her back, speaking anxiously: "Senior sister, no, someone will take the three-dot."
"..." Anna.
Whose side are you really on!
Yu Guiwan glanced at Anna and brazenly played the three-dot, Anna beamed, ready to take it.
The down-the-table Fairy Qing Yuan pushed the Mahjong: "I win, pay me the spirit stones."
"Crash!"
Anna, exasperated, declared: "This is pointless! Totally pointless, I’m done playing."
"No worries."
Baize calmly shuffled the tiles: "All spirit stones spent for the Heavenly Court can be reimbursed."
"Oh, then let’s continue; let’s battle until dawn!"
Anna’s eyes shined brightly, as she was escorting the Tian Gui Tribe Quasi-Emperor to Earth for the Heavenly Court, it counted as official business.
Xu Lai held his forehead.
Is this really reimbursable?
"You play host for a bit, I’ll go take a shower and change clothes," Ruan Tang smiled.
Xu Lai braced himself: "Alright."
Went downstairs.
Xu Lai cleared his throat: "Everyone’s here."
"——"
The four women paused their Mahjong actions simultaneously, looking with Ruan Lan at Xu Lai, who chuckled, about to say something.
They simultaneously retracted their gaze.
"..." Xu Lai.
Hold on.
What’s with this ignoring attitude!
Xu Lai was already prepared to face the chaotic scene, but neither Qing Yuan nor Anna budged a bit.
Fortunately, Xu Lai’s skin was thick enough.
He silently watched the ’battle’ from behind his senior sister.
Admittedly.
Anna is still Anna, always losing...
Senior sister barely kept it balanced, but Baize and Qing Yuan consistently swept away spirit stones.
In the short time Xu Lai idled, the two women each won ten pieces of immortal-grade spirit stones, mostly from Anna.
"Too bad, I’ll be your advisor."
Ruan Lan couldn’t bear it any longer and plopped into a chair. Fortunately, neither she nor Anna were fat, they just barely fit together.
The action made Xu Lai’s heart leap.
Anna is a Quasi-Emperor Realm!
You’re not even a Little Golden Core, yet you dare...
Uh.
Xu Lai’s mind jolted.
Anna was not angry, but said irritably: "If you can help me beat Qing Yuan, I’ll agree to anything!"
"Anything?"
"Anything!"
"I heard you have a sister..."
"I’ll give her to you!"
"...?"
Xu Lai was dumbfounded; Anna, what’s wrong with you?
"Qingfeng."
"Hey, senior sister."
Xu Lai’s body shivered, finally, someone acknowledged him.
"Quick, go cook, senior sister’s hungry."
Hah.
Women.
Xu Lai turned to the kitchen.
Not long after, Ruan Tang came downstairs as well.
She wasn’t deliberately dressed up or wearing makeup, just in the usual home sleepdress, with her hair loosely draped behind, yet attracting all the women’s eyes.
"Let’s have a simple dinner at home tonight, I’ve tidied the rooms," Ruan Tang smiled.
Over the past couple of days.
Anna and the others were continuously playing Mahjong, not eating or sleeping.
Anna promptly agreed: "That sounds good."
Fairy Qing Yuan was meeting Ruan Tang for the first time, holding a Mahjong piece while squinting her eyes, her face showing no emotions.
After a while.
Fairy Qing Yuan spoke: "Thank you."
The living room then fell silent.
Ruan Lan felt the inexplicable oppressive atmosphere and promptly fled: "I’ll urge that lousy brother-in-law of mine; why isn’t the food ready yet!"
Saying that, she dashed into the kitchen.
Baize pondered for a moment and offered a seat to Ruan Tang.
"..." Yu Guiwan.
Senior sister felt panicked!
Now, even if she wanted to offer her seat, nobody would sit, she couldn’t just call the junior brother over to play.
Huh???
Yu Guiwan shouted: "Xu Qingfeng, you take my place; my stomach hurts."
"Senior sister, can Immortal Venerables get stomachaches?" Fairy Qing Yuan remarked calmly.
Yu Guiwan felt immense pressure.
She helplessly replied: "It might be a false alarm; come on, let’s continue."
...
Kitchen.
Ruan Lan tut-tutted: "Lousy brother-in-law, if you don’t go out there, my sister and the others might start fighting!"
"They won’t."
Xu Lai paused for a moment, and Ruan Lan was about to ask why when another word slipped out: "Right?"
"..." Ruan Lan.
"Don’t worry, they know their limits."
Xu Lai comforted himself while continuously peeking outside.
A nerve-wracking hour passed.
As another round ended, under Xu Lai’s gaze signal, Ruan Lan clapped her hands: "Ladies, time to eat."
The dining table was round.
Normally seated, it accommodated ten people.
Baize sat down first, and Ruan Lan along with Yu Guiwan quickly positioned themselves beside her.
Ruan Tang sat opposite Baize, with Fairy Qing Yuan and Anna on either side of Ruan Lan and Yu Guiwan.
The three women formed a triangular standoff, coincidently leaving two vacant seats.
And in the scene.
Only Xu Lai remained unseated...
"Swish, swish, swish"
Three gazes simultaneously shot toward Xu Lai.
Not from Ruan Tang and the others, but from Ruan Lan, Yu Guiwan, and Baize the Divine General.
Even Baize’s eyes showed a hint of gleeful watching, let alone the other two who relished the spectacle.
Yu Guiwan’s face almost shouted: Fight, go ahead, fight!
"Xu Lai, sit."
"Qingfeng, sit."
"The Supreme Emperor, sit."
"I’m not hungry, enjoy your meal."
Xu Lai said earnestly: "I’ll first cut some fruit for you, brew a pot of tea, dessert can’t be missed after the meal."
Then three gentle gazes turned to him simultaneously.
"Do you drink tea?" Qing Yuan asked.
"No, do you eat dessert?" Anna asked.
"No, what about you?"
Ruan Tang looked at her sister and the three others, who totally ignored Xu Lai’s plea for help and kept shaking their heads.
"So, sit."
The three women spoke in unison.
Xu Lai sighed, this day had finally come.
Alright then.
Let’s settle this today.
He was about to step forward when the door opened, and a particularly nervous voice rang out:
"Big sis, take Ping’an brother to my house to play; I made him cry, will Uncle Xu beat me..."
"Dad won’t, plus Ping’an brother doesn’t blame you, right Ping’an."
"How about...I come next time, I’m afraid Uncle Xu will beat me to death."
"Oh, you coward."
"Xiao Qian is here, perfect timing for dinner."
Xu Lai appeared at the door, affectionately rubbing his darling daughter and Qian Xiao’s heads, his smile exceptionally sincere.
