Xiaobai has been unhappy with Norton's existence for a long time. Last time, it was because of this person that he almost lost control of himself and hurt Yunluo. Now seeing Yunluo so close to him, he was so jealous.
If he hadn't been worried about Yun Luo getting angry, he would have gotten rid of this annoying person long ago.
Norton stumbled for a moment before he could steady himself. The boy's force in hitting him was not great, but it was not small either. He hit him completely when he was completely off guard. Even Norton, who was always very vigilant, was caught off guard.
When Xiaobai was still a cat, he didn't like him getting close to Yunluo, and now that he has become a human, he has become even worse.
He looked up at the young man holding Yun Luo in his arms like he was protecting food, looking very angry. For a moment he couldn't describe how he felt.
His gaze left the boy's face and paused when he saw something: "Sir, Xiaobai's ears and tail..."
Orcs usually only have human form and beast form. They will appear in half-human, half-beast form only when the power in their bodies is out of control. The pointed beast ears on the boy's head and the tail shaking behind him with a strong sense of presence both indicate that Xiaobai's current physical condition is not very good.
Yun Luo rubbed the big furry tail that was stretched out to his hand. "He suddenly became like this. It must be that the power in his body has not yet reached balance."
Yun Luo was also troubled by Xiaobai's current situation. He used his spiritual power to check and found that Xiaobai's body was filled with several different energies, which suppressed each other and barely maintained balance. The most ferocious counterattack was the strange energy released from the black box last night.
"Is it because of what those people brought yesterday?" Norton witnessed the whole process upstairs and also felt the strange and uncomfortable energy.
He knew very well that if Yun Luo had not acted in time, Xiaobai would have definitely fallen into a completely manic state under the influence of this energy.
The destructive power brought by an irrational eighth-level strongman can be imagined.
"There is a certain connection. Although I acted quickly at that time, Xiaobai still absorbed quite a bit." He studied it afterwards and found that this strange black energy was somewhat similar to the demonic energy in his original world. Both were frantic, destructive, and could induce people to lose their minds. At the same time, it could completely destroy the original energy system in the human body and cause irreversible damage to people.
When Yun Luo knew this, he could not hide his anger. Although the kitten he raised turned into a human halfway through, it was still the cat he recognized. Now someone wanted to attack his cat, and used such a vicious method. How could he not be angry?
“Meow!”
The boy felt very aggrieved when he saw that even after he separated the two people, they still ignored him and continued to talk.
With a thought, the tail slipped away from Yun Luo's palm, and while Yun Luo was stunned, it climbed up Yun Luo's waist and wrapped around him neither loosely nor tightly.
When Xiaobai was still a cat, he liked to circle people with his tail. After becoming a human, Xiaobai retained most of his habits as a kitten. Yunluo didn't take it seriously, but Norton's expression changed.
As a male orc, he knew too well how possessive this action was. When Xiaobai was still a cat, he had an extraordinary possessiveness towards Yunluo. Now that he had turned into a human, this possessiveness had not only not diminished, but had become even more intense... This made him think more.
Is Xiaobai's possessiveness towards Yunluo a bit excessive?
He hesitated whether to remind Yun Luo.
"Sir, you want..." Before he could finish his words, he felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet. His body tensed up unconsciously, as if he was being stared at by some large beast. His body quickly reacted and took defensive measures.
His intuition has always been accurate, but there are only three of them in this courtyard. Excluding Yunluo, the only one who would make him feel so threatened is Xiaobai.
He was right. The gaze as if being stared at by a large beast did come from Xiaobai. Xiaobai keenly sensed what he was going to say to Yunluo. This was a warning to him!
Norton had a layer of sweat on his back. Under Xiaobai's scorching gaze, he silently swallowed what he wanted to say. He decided to find a chance to talk to his husband alone.
Seeing that he really had no intention of continuing that topic, the slightly raised hair on Xiaobai's back slowly relaxed, and his tail unconsciously loosened a little.
Yun Luo felt uncomfortable because of the boy's stranglehold. He was about to pull the big tail apart, but when he put his hand on the big tail, he found that the boy suddenly tensed up for some reason. He paused in the action he was about to do and started to stroke the big tail.
Xiaobai is a long-haired cat. Yunluo likes his fluffy fur very much. When he is in the juvenile form, his already furry tail is enlarged several times. When you put your hand on it, it will sink deep into the soft fur. The whole hand is surrounded by soft fur from all directions. That feeling is simply heaven for those who love furry cats.
Yun Luo didn't like the boy's approach to him, but if it was the big furry tail, Yun Luo didn't resist. For the sake of the tail, he ignored the boy's little action of rubbing it secretly.
"I've said almost everything I wanted to say. If you encounter any problems, you can come to me." Yun Luo patted the big tail at his waist and said, "Take the tail off. We should go back."
The young man was eager to leave as soon as possible, hoping that Yun Luo would never come to see this person again. He let go of Yun Luo happily.
The Frode family made such a big fuss last night that people who were well-informed knew about it almost immediately. After obtaining Yun Luo's consent, Norton took the opportunity to reveal his true strength and announced that he would be leaving the Frode family from now on. All his personal development would have nothing to do with the Frode family in the future.
Norton was also officially renamed Jiang Mu, and the past Norton would be buried along with the demise of the Frode family.
Before being taken away, the head of the Frode family clamored to see his eldest son once, completely losing his previous aristocratic demeanor. His hysterical look made people frown.
He didn't know that the person he was clamoring to see was standing in the crowd, looking at him expressionlessly.
"How do you feel now?" Yun Ye, who was worried about Jiang Mu coming here alone, bumped into the arm of the person next to him and asked.
"I can't explain it. It's like I don't feel anything at all." If you look closely, you'll find that Jiang Mu's eyes are blank. He looks like he's watching a farce, but also like he's not seeing anything at all. "You know, I thought I'd be excited at this moment, feeling the pleasure of revenge, but when I really got to this moment, I realized that I felt no emotion at all."
"It means you don't care about him anymore. From now on, he will no longer be an obstacle on your way forward. He will receive the punishment he deserves, and you will get a new life."
"Maybe." The heavy stone in his heart fell completely, and Jiang Mu felt that the barrier to break through the seventh level was slightly loosened.
"Are you going to break through? Let's go back to the manor first." Breaking through in a busy city is not a good choice.
The two left as quietly as they had come.
The truth that had been hidden for more than 20 years surfaced, revealing the tip of the iceberg of the crimes of the head of the Frod family. As the tragic truths were revealed one after another, the upper class of the Somir star fell into great turmoil.
Just as the head of the Frode family said, he has been rooted in this planet for too long, and all the relationships that can be smoothed out are in place, otherwise he would not have been able to ignore the law and act at ease for so long.
Pulling out the radish brings out the dirt, and the planetary governor took this opportunity to carry out a major purge of the planet Somir.
In this incident, everyone's attention was focused on Jiang Mu. Who would have thought that Jiang Mu, who had been treated as a waste for more than 20 years, had actually reached the peak of the sixth level? Compared with Yaqi, who had been flaunted as a treasure by the head of the Frode family for more than 20 years, one cannot help but sigh: the head of the Frode family is really blind.
At the same time, Jiang Mu's whereabouts has also become a concern for everyone. He is a strong man who is about to break through the seventh level. If he can be won over, it will definitely help his family to make further progress!
All of a sudden, countless invitations flooded in towards Jiang Mu.
Jiang Mu did not reveal his intention to establish a new family. After the incident of the head of the Frod family was exposed, there was no news. Many families became interested and offered more favorable conditions than the other. As long as they could win people over, any price they paid would be worth it.
But no matter how favorable the conditions they offered, they did not receive a response.
It wasn't that Jiang Mu was deliberately leaving them out, but because he had reached the critical moment of a breakthrough. After returning that day, he went straight into seclusion, concentrating on breaking through the seventh-level barrier, and knew nothing about the news from the outside world.
Yun Luo paid no attention to the turmoil in the outside world. He readjusted his spiritual chart, intending to test his own guess: Was it because Jiang Mu was special, or was it because all orcs could use spiritual food to embark on spiritual practice?
Yun Luo set up a separate place on the second floor of Lingsheng Building to receive these special guests.
Without the obstruction of the Frode family, Lingshenglou's business is even more prosperous than before. Many people who were previously forced by the Frode family to cancel their reservations sent apology letters as soon as possible and made new reservations.
"These people are truly..." The housekeeper clicked on one apology letter after another. "When Patriarch Frode gave the order, they ran away faster than anyone else. Now that they see the Frode family is in trouble, they're running back."
"Sir, should we approve these people's appointment applications?" As for the butler, he didn't want to agree. He could understand those people's choices, but understanding was one thing, and whether he cared about it in his heart was another.
Yun Luo lowered his head to cut Xiao Bai's nails and said nonchalantly, "It's up to you."
"Host, don't agree to them," 007 said angrily. "After that incident, these people were the ones who were most enthusiastic about smearing us on Starnet, as if smearing us would earn them more favor from the Frod family."
007 gets angry whenever he thinks about it. He wore several vests at that time and personally took part in the battle, leaving those people speechless. Now that the Frod family has fallen, they act as if nothing happened and really think he doesn't exist.
[People like this are simply unworthy of tasting the host's delicious food! I'm going to tell the housekeeper that we can't approve these people's requests. They'll just have to watch and not eat!]
[When did you contact the housekeeper?] Yun Luo paused and asked doubtfully.
[Ah, this...] 007 felt uneasy at the sudden exposure of his secret. [Last time, those people were saying bad things about the host and Lingsheng Tower. I couldn't stand it, so I went to confront them. At that time, the butler also refuted those people on Starnet. After a few exchanges, we became friends.]
Yun Luo remembered that this was the case. The butler had told him before that there was someone on Starnet who was speaking for them. He was very powerful and looked like a good guy. He didn't expect that this person would be 007.
"Xiaobai, switch hands."
The young man squatting at Yun Luo's feet obediently put his other hand up.
The boy's hands were slightly larger than Yun Luo's, with distinct joints and long, strong fingers. A thin layer of calluses covered the fingertips. His nails hadn't been trimmed for a while, so they were a little long.
Although he knew that the boy was Xiaobai, the housekeeper still felt an indescribable strangeness when watching this scene. If the kitten was still in its cub form, it would be normal for Yunluo to hold him in his arms and cut his nails, but now Xiaobai is a boy who is taller than Yunluo.
The young man clung tightly to Yun Luo, his eyes always fixed on him. The housekeeper could say with certainty that from the moment he entered the house until now, except for the glance Xiaobai gave him when he first entered the house, after that, Xiaobai acted as if he didn't exist.
When Xiaobai was a cub, he stuck to Yunluo. The housekeeper could convince himself that it was because his master liked the cub. But now Xiaobai is not an exotic beast, not even a cub. His possessiveness towards Yunluo has increased instead of decreased. It is unacceptable.
Moreover, the master was too indulgent towards the young man. The housekeeper saw it clearly and personally helped to cut his nails. Before he came in, the young man's big tail was wrapped around the master's waist. Even after he came in, the young man's tail would occasionally hook around the master's wrist.
Xiaobai's habit of wrapping his tail around people started when he was in kitten form. Yunluo indulged Xiaobai in these little habits when he was in kitten form. After he turned into a teenager, Yunluo would slap Xiaobai away every time he tried to wrap his tail around people.
No matter how Xiaobai acts coquettishly, it's useless. He is so ruthless.
007 is always amazed every time I see him. As for the boy's face, it is absolutely impeccable. If he acts coquettishly towards you with such a face, most people can't resist it. Unfortunately, his host does not belong to the category of "ordinary people".
If 007 knew what the butler was worried about, he would definitely tell him to relax and that none of the things he was worried about would happen.
This was the first time Yun Luo had done something like cutting someone else's nails. If Xiaobai had done it himself, he would have only made his fingers bloody and he would have been having fun as if he didn't feel any pain. Yun Luo had no choice but to do it himself.
After the haircut, Yun Luo patted the boy on the head and said, "Go out and play for a while by yourself. Don't bully others."
"Meow~"
The young man rubbed against Yun Luo, staring at him with his silver-blue eyes without blinking, and his meaning was very clear: he didn't want to leave.
Yun Luo was unmoved: "Be obedient, go play by yourself, don't stick to me all day long, you are no longer the little kitten you used to be, you need to learn to play by yourself."
The boy, who failed in his attempt to act cute again, left in a depressed mood.
"Sir, Xiaobai..." Although the butler was dissatisfied with some of the boy's behaviors, he still felt a little reluctant when he saw the boy's pitiful appearance.
Yun Luo thought he was worried about something else and said, "I'll send Xiaobai away once I figure out his identity. I don't feel comfortable letting him leave like this right now."
"Alas, I'm not worried about that." Seeing that Yun Luo had an idea, the butler stopped talking about it. "I didn't approve those people's reservation applications. We don't lack guests right now. I plan to leave them alone for now."
Yun Luo remained noncommittal: "Just take care of these things as you see fit. Are there still no suitable applicants during this period?"
"None of them meet the master's requirements." Speaking of this matter, the housekeeper was also worried. He could temporarily manage all the affairs of Lingsheng Building, but he was not a professional after all. It was okay for a while, but it would definitely not work for a long time.
"How is the Frode family doing these days?" Yun Luo has been adjusting the dishes on the spiritual chart for a while now. The first group of people suffering from energy riots have already made an appointment, and he has to complete the preparations within the agreed time. The Frode family only asked 007 to hand over the relevant evidence to the relevant personnel, and left them alone.
"Ever since that incident, the Frode family has fallen on hard times. Various problems have been exposed in their businesses one after another, and their influence has shrunk dramatically. The families they had previously suppressed have all taken action, hoping to tear a piece of flesh from this behemoth."
Yun Luo didn't need to take action, as there were many people who wanted to take advantage of the Frod family's illness to kill him.
"By the way, sir, two people have been looking for you recently."
"Um?"
"One is a female. He said he escaped from Yaqi's clutches. Another one also has a grudge against Yaqi. His fiancée was humiliated to death by Yaqi."
"I understand. Next time they come over, just bring your men to me."
Yun Luo looked through the spiritual catalog. In addition to various exotic beast meats, mutant plants are also indispensable. There is only mutant rice in the manor now. If you want to make all kinds of spiritual food on the spiritual catalog, the search for other mutant plants must be put back on the agenda.
The manor is already short of staff, and there are many types of mutant plants to find, and the mutant plants are also somewhat aggressive. The people who go to find them cannot be too weak. Yun Luo sorted through the staff in the manor, and only Yun Ye and Jiang Mu met the requirements.
He wondered when Yun Luo had ever worried about such a thing. Now the matter of Lingsheng Tower was dragging on, and he couldn't go looking for them in person. Where could he find some powerful and reliable people?
Due to the limitation of ingredients, the spiritual food he can make now is very limited. He can find substitutes with the same properties for the missing types of exotic beast meat. If the main effect is from mutant plants, he has no other choice.
Yun Luo had learned that Somir was one of the most pristine planets, with its mutated plants and exotic beasts ranking among the top ten in the empire. This provided Yun Luo with great advantages. Because of its pristine environment, the planet's spiritual energy was abundant, allowing Yun Luo to recover quickly.
Far faster than he expected.
"When do you plan to start live streaming, boss?" Yun Ye finished organizing the materials and came to Yun Luo. "Everything is ready. Once you tell me the specific date, we can start putting these materials out."
The materials are the videos shot by Yunye during this period, almost all of which are of Yunluo cooking. After editing, these videos look colorful, fragrant and delicious.
Yunye was sure that once these videos were posted online, they would definitely cause an uproar.
"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about it. It's just these few days. I'm almost busy here."
"Okay, I'll go get ready then."
The live broadcast was handed over to Yunye, and Yunluo’s first batch of special guests also arrived.
There weren't many people who made reservations for the first time, only about ten or so. Yun Luo wasn't surprised, as he knew how unbelievable such news was.
In the eyes of the people of the empire, the meat of exotic beasts will only aggravate energy riots. They have never heard that eating the meat of exotic beasts can relieve energy riots.
Most of the people who came here were skeptical and wanted to give it a try. Only White came here with the intention of exposing the "true face" of Lingsheng Building.
White is a small anchor who has been working for many years but has never been very popular. After seeing the news released by Lingshenglou, he feels that his chance to become famous is just around the corner.
He didn't know if he was just unlucky or what, but Lingsheng Building had been open for so many years and he had never been able to get an appointment. Every time, it was either fully booked or for some other reason, and the deadline was up to him. After so many times, he had already started to feel resentful and felt that Lingsheng Building was targeting him.
This time there is such a good gimmick, of course he will not let it go. It can not only increase his popularity, but also take the opportunity to take revenge on Lingshenglou. Why not do it?
This time, the number of applicants was small, so he was successful on the first try. After getting the reservation number, he began to prepare. First, he casually mentioned Lingshenglou during the live broadcast, praising the delicious food there. After piqued the curiosity of his fans, he mentioned the matter of relieving violent energy in a surprised tone.
The result was just as he expected. As soon as this topic came out, his popularity soared. His fans didn't believe what he said at all and said that he was just trying to attract attention. Although most people scolded him, the number of people watching his live broadcasts increased each time.
Looking at the ever-increasing number of fans, White seemed unable to bear the fans' doubts and suggested that he would personally test it to see if this was true.
Fans are all waiting for the day when the results will be revealed, hoping to expose the "big conspiracy".
007 noticed the movement on Starnet immediately and told Yun Luo: [Host, I think he has bad intentions.]
Yun Luo watched White's live broadcast, his lips curled up slightly: [This just helps us gain popularity and saves us some publicity costs.]
Yun Luo could tell at a glance what White was planning. He simply wanted to step on Lingsheng Building to get to the top. But, was Lingsheng Building someone who could be stepped on by anyone?
Yun Luo intercepted White's message and sent it to the housekeeper: "Tell me when this person comes."
"Is there something wrong with this person?" The butler looked at the ordinary orc in the picture and couldn't figure out what was so special about this person that Yun Luo should pay attention to him.
"Nothing." It's just that some people want to use Lingsheng Tower to get to the top overnight.
Didn’t he want to reveal the “true face” of Lingsheng Tower? So he revealed it to them personally.
The scheduled day arrived in a blink of an eye. For convenience, Yun Luo staggered the time with the normal opening time of Lingsheng Building, which made White more convinced that something fishy was going on.
For this live broadcast, he specially purchased a concealable live broadcast device, and quietly turned on the live broadcast when he arrived at Lingsheng Building.
The butler was in charge of the reception. When he saw White coming, he frowned. After Yun Luo talked to him that day, he searched for this person's live broadcast on Star Network and understood why Yun Luo asked him to pay attention to this person.
He calmly sent a message to Yun Luo, and the butler came forward with a normal expression: "Please follow me."
Yun Luo raised his eyebrows after receiving the message from the housekeeper and pushed away the boy who tried to get close to him again: "I have to go do some serious work, you can have fun by yourself."
"Meow~~" The boy swept his big tail and blocked Yun Luo's way, "Let's go together!"
