"How come you're still like a child after all this time?" Ouyang Ningxue said helplessly.
It's not that I look down on Leng An; it's more like the frustration and disappointment that friends feel for each other.
Leng An hadn't expected someone like Ouyang Ningxue to speak up first. After hearing what she said, he gave a self-deprecating laugh.
Although Ouyang Ningxue looked much older than him, he had lived two lives and his mental age was at least in his thirties. It was indeed embarrassing to be told that he was immature by a woman in her twenties.
"So...this is how you've always seen me?" For some reason, Leng An thought of Li Xuanzu.
He rarely takes himself seriously when he's with himself; he treats himself like a child.
Ouyang Ningxue didn't speak, but she didn't deny it either.
It must have been tough on Ouyang Ningxue; both of them were taciturn, and if no one started a conversation, they wouldn't utter a single word all day.
Fu Yu ate quickly; if it weren't for the subtle clinking of bowls and chopsticks that caught their attention, they probably would have forgotten about this little foodie.
Leng An looked at the stack of empty plates in front of her and began to examine the girl in front of her for the first time.
Fu Yu ate quickly, but maintained proper table manners and remained very quiet.
With its mouth puffing out like a hamster, it ate quickly but not in a hurry, finishing one dish after another in an orderly manner, which made the two of them have some appetite and start to pick up their chopsticks.
"Um... I don't think you two are very hungry, so... how about we bring out the previous dishes again?" Fu Yu seemed worried that the two of them hadn't tasted the previous dishes, but it would be impolite to take a bite of each dish.
"It's alright, we're not really hungry, a couple of bites will do." Ouyang Ningxue added some more food to Fu Yu's bowl.
Although she has a reserved personality, how could she always have a cold face after spending so much time with such a lively friend?
The three of them started eating.
Meanwhile, Li Xuanzu and Huang Lao's conversation was still going on, clearly nearing its end.
"So, is there anything we need to be aware of regarding our next stop, Ba Kingdom in the southwest of the Dragon Kingdom?" Li Xuanzu had explained everything he needed to to Elder Huang, and all that remained was to discuss the arrangements for the upcoming trip.
“Um… there really is one.” At this point, Old Huang became a little hesitant. “Pakistan has always had a good relationship with us, and the request for help was sent out in the last few days. But India, which is next to Pakistan, has also issued a request for help.”
According to the information obtained by Li Xuanzu, the relationship between India and China is similar to that between India and China.
“I know that, but this time you need to give them a good shock and don’t interrupt my rhythm again. If possible, I still don’t want to do something that destroys a country,” Li Xuanzu said.
India has a large population, and along with countries like China and Africa, it is a populous nation. Li Xuanzu prefers long-term development and doesn't need to rush to acquire all the renewable resources at once.
"Don't worry, we didn't have time to spare manpower before. Now that Leng An and the others are back, the internal pressure in Dragon Kingdom is much less. If all else fails, I'll parachute them over to help you." Old Huang dared not have any more ulterior motives.
This time, Li Xuanzu was at a loss because he didn't know what Huang Lao had said to the people from the Korean peninsula, so naturally he couldn't suspect him.
But this time Li Xuanzu said it directly, so there's no need for any more fuss.
Li Xuanzu really wouldn't mind killing him. Despite their seemingly close relationship despite their age difference, Huang Lao was certain he wouldn't live long if he were discovered using Li Xuanzu.
"India and China have been at odds for a long time and have fought several wars. Their people... are mainly shameless and have no self-awareness. They think they are the most important people in the world, and even their citizens are like that," Old Huang said truthfully.
"Hmm, I've heard about it. Is there anything else we should be aware of?" Li Xuanzu asked again, determined to get to the bottom of things.
"Yes, there is, but you probably don't care. Just try to avoid the food and water over there." Old Huang thought of something and felt a chill run down his spine.
Looking at his expression, Li Xuanzu couldn't imagine how unpalatable the food there must be.
