Chapter 27: The Lingering Season Banquet
Chapter 27: The Lingering Season Banquet
"Boss, I'm saying that even cows and horses need time to rest and eat. I've been working for you for so long, and you didn't even give me the snacks you promised..." Teng Teng's voice became more and more aggrieved.
"I was trying to trick my friends into believing you had some energy-boosting food, but now I can't even see a trace of it. You can't command cattle or horses like that."
Teng Teng's words were full of accusations against her, making Yu Qingyin sound like Zhou Baopi.
Yu Qingyin seemed to see a little person standing in front of her, looking at her with aggrieved look and accusing eyes.
Yu Qingyin felt a rare sense of guilt in her heart, and she rubbed her nose with her fingers embarrassedly.
"This is my pot. Wait a minute. There are too many people here. I'll go to the toilet and get it for you."
As she spoke, Yu Qingyin strode towards the toilet.
As soon as they arrived at the toilet, Yu Qingyin took out three food energy boxes specially made for zombies. Teng Teng and her companion, who pretended to be her bracelet, jumped down instantly, got into the food boxes, and started to eat with relish. The crumbs fell all over the floor, and a soft emerald green light emanated from their bodies.
Yu Qingyin felt a little jealous.
She worked so hard to complete the task, but her superpowers remained at level one. These green plants can improve their superpowers by eating delicious food. It's really like humans are compared to plants, it's so infuriating.
Reluctantly, she reached out and held Teng Teng's tail. Seeing it struggling to break free, she felt much better and mercifully let go of her hand.
"Eat more. You will know if you can do the work after eating."
"I know, I know." Teng Teng answered vaguely.
The system looked at the depressed Yu Qingyin, and suddenly alarm bells rang, and it hurriedly spoke to comfort her.
"Host, don't be so depressed. Your level one ability is comparable to the level 1.5 of others' abilities. It's very strong. After you complete the mission, your ability may soar like a rocket."
After hearing this, Yu Qingyin rolled her eyes and sneered twice.
"Hehe~" This is a lie. The pie is bigger than the skinning boss in her company. It will cause indigestion if you eat it.
Seeing that it had not fooled anyone, the system adjusted its direction and continued to make promises.
"Host, every time you complete a mission, you will have a chance to spin the lucky wheel. You must believe that you have very good luck. Don't you humans have a saying that girls who love to laugh will not have bad luck?"
Yu Qingyin looked at the lunch box in her hand and finished it, then stood up from the toilet lid.
"Because people with bad luck can't laugh. Don't worry, I will complete the mission. I don't want to stay here forever. I still need to get my 1 billion and travel around the world with my mother."
After saying that, Yu Qingyin put away the lunch box.
"Teng Teng, now that you've had enough to eat and drink, it's time to get to work. Take your friends with you and go."
Teng Teng touched her full belly and responded loudly.
"Okay, I promise to complete the mission!"
Yu Qingyin raised her hand and threw three small vines out of the toilet window.
Lin Yuqing looked at Yu Qingyin who came out and immediately waved with a smile, "Qingyin, come here quickly, let's choose a room."
Lin Yuqing introduced it to her enthusiastically.
"There are three bedrooms on the second floor and four bedrooms on the third floor. Each room has an independent bathroom, and the rooms on both sides have balconies. Which one do you want to choose?"
Yu Qingyin looked at the bedrooms and went up the spiral staircase. On the left was a bedroom with a balcony, and on the right was a piano room.
She pointed decisively to the room on the left side of the second floor. This room had a small balcony with a path outside the balcony leading to the forest. The floor was not high, making it convenient for her to climb over the wall and go out at night.
As soon as she finished her selection, Ji Yanli followed suit and chose a room.
"Then I'll choose the one in the middle. If there's any emergency, I can get there in time."
As soon as he said this, Lin Yuqing's eyes dimmed and she smiled at herself.
He was explaining this to Yu Qingyin. He never explained his decisions in the past. As expected, in front of the person he likes, no matter how powerful a person is, he will become cautious.
Seeing this, Ling Yunyun recalled Gu Qingyuan's provocative words in her mind, and spoke loudly as if she had made up her mind.
"Yuqing, I have something to tell you."
Lin Yuqing, who was just immersed in sadness, blinked slowly when she heard the words, stared at Ling Yunyun with serious eyes, realized something, and refused softly.
"Let's choose a room first. Yucheng and the others are almost done with dinner. It won't be too late to talk about it after we finish eating."
Ling Yunyun understood the rejection in her words, his eyes dimmed immediately, and he responded softly.
Yu Qingyin didn't notice this little episode.
Her attention was completely attracted by the scrambled eggs with tomatoes that had just been served. She strode over and chose a seat closest to the scrambled eggs and sat down.
His eyes were fixed fixedly, unwilling to move away even a little, expressing his eagerness to the fullest.
As soon as everyone sat down, she couldn't wait to pick up a piece and put it in her mouth. The sour and sweet taste of the tomato blossomed in her mouth, filling her taste buds. She was so happy that she couldn't help shaking her feet hidden on the table.
It turns out that tomatoes are the most delicious food in the world.
Piece by piece, most of the bowl of scrambled eggs with tomatoes went into her stomach.
After finishing her meal, Yu Qingyin immediately stood up, went into the room, quickly changed into black clothes, and glanced at the few people who were still discussing in the living room.
With her red lips slightly curled, she turned over and jumped down from the balcony in the moonlight.
She stood firm on her feet and brushed off the non-existent dust on her hands. Suddenly, Ji Yanli's voice rang out beside her.
"Where are you going so late?"
Yu Qingyin froze in place. She turned around and saw Ji Yanli leaning against the wall with his arms folded across his chest, looking at her with a half-smile.
The moonlight softened his cold features, and the teardrop mole at the end of his eye was tinged with pink, making him look even gentler, as if he was an immortal who had strayed into the mortal world.
Yu Qingyin had no time to appreciate his masculine looks and rolled her eyes at him in annoyance. Why was this guy so haunting? She had just clearly seen him in the living room, so how did he get here in the blink of an eye? Could he be able to teleport?
Yu Qingyin looked at the countdown in her mind, ignored him, put her hands behind her back, and walked along the path.
When she came, she had observed carefully. Walking along the path on the right side of the villa, she found a forest.
Ji Yanli took a few steps forward and put his hand in front of Yu Qingyin.
"Where are you going? I'll go with you. I promised my uncle and aunt that I would keep you safe. I don't want you to complain about me after I go back, and ruin my image in your eyes."
Yu Qingyin looked at him with puzzled eyes. When did he become so talkative? She remembered that he used to say only one word and would not say the second one. And recently he liked to explain things more and more.
Ji Yanli felt guilty and looked away.
Yu Qingyin thought for a moment, then lowered her eyes and wrote a line of words on his outstretched hand.
"Go to the woods and find mutant plants to study."
Although the mutated plants cannot kill her, they are not as easy to deal with as zombies. The most important thing is that the road is too long and time-consuming, so taking him along can save a lot of trouble.
