Ouyang Hao laughed. "You mean, the kitchen in the City Lord's Mansion isn't safe?"

"Hmm, the current head of the kitchen only cares about making more money. Although we still serve plenty of meat and fish on a regular basis, eating too much meat is not good for you at all. Lord City Lord, haven't you noticed that you've gained weight recently?"

Ouyang Hao, abandoning his previous aloofness, looked at Ali with a headache and said, "Why didn't you arrange for someone to come over sooner? Are you just going to watch me get fat like this?"

Ali said, "People with good cooking skills are hard to find, and I just found out about them and sent them over to you."

Ouyang Hao threw the mask back at Ah Li, "I don't care, we're going to Jiangnan together this time. I'm telling you, you're finished."

After Ah Li caught the mask, her expression remained unchanged upon hearing Ouyang Hao's words. Ouyang Hao appeared cold, aloof, and arrogant, but that was merely an observation. He didn't resemble a city lord at all now; instead, he seemed like an ordinary person acting recklessly.

Otherwise, how normal can people be to call a perfectly good city a ghost town?

Ouyang Hao said, "However, after they arrive, we'll let them stay in the kitchen for a while. Tomorrow we'll go to Jiangnan, and I'll try their cooking when I get back."

"good."

Seeing that Ah Li wasn't curious at all about what he was going to do in Jiangnan, Ouyang Hao said, "It's lotus picking season in Jiangnan now, and I want to go pick the freshest lotus seeds to eat."

"Um."

Ahri indicated that she understood.

Ouyang Hao walked up to Ali and said, "I said several words, and you only replied with one. Do you not respect me as the city lord? Would it kill you to say a couple more words?"

"You won't die."

"You actually said two extra words!"

Ouyang Hao rolled his eyes speechlessly, "You win."

Ahri put the mask back on her face and said, "Should I wear the mask for that woman in the city lord's mansion?"
