"Okay, go ahead."
Seeing Ah Hui take a broom to clean, Yue Jiuling turned to Mu Xiaoyi and said, "Tsk tsk, that kid is so pitiful~"
"Haha, that's true."
There wasn't much to do at their management office today, and since it was a holiday, after Yin Ni and the others returned, they went to Xiao Baicai's restaurant for dinner. They also brought Ahui along this time, since everyone should be present for a get-together.
Today, Little Cabbage was still pitifully wrapped up like a giant cabbage-filled rice dumpling. He stood at the door to greet his colleagues, then said with a smile, "I heard you've all been very busy lately, and I thought you wouldn't have time to come and have dinner with me~"
"How could that be? I just came here to have dinner with you since I'm free."
Yue Jiuling reached out and pinched Xiaobaicai's cheek, then stroked his head and said, "Today is the Winter Solstice. Has your partner come back yet?"
"Not yet, but he texted me today saying he can come back today."
Little Cabbage touched her face and said with a grin, "Let's go, maybe he'll come back while we're eating~"
Maybe!
Bai Xinyu also touched Xiaobaicai's head and said, "Oh my, another year has almost passed without us realizing it. Time flies so fast."
"That's right, in the blink of an eye, we've been working together for so long again."
Ya Zi followed behind Yue Jiuling. He heard what Yue Jiuling said and agreed, saying, "That's right."
While Yinni and Ye Dongfeng were still playing on their phones, Ye Dongfeng overheard their conversation and chimed in, "What are you two lamenting about? These are old monsters who are practically immortal. We humans should be the ones lamenting them."
"Yeah, I really envy you monsters, you can live so long."
Mu Xiaoyi also sighed, "Oh dear, I have to work harder on my cultivation, otherwise I'll really die of old age, and that would be too ugly."
"Haha~ Then you'd better work hard, we're all waiting for you to train together."
Bai Xinyu, laughing and joking, put her arm around Mu Xiaoyi, and the two walked into the private room arm in arm. Meanwhile, Ye Dongfeng was pestering Yinni, asking him to teach him how to quickly improve his cultivation. He said, "Yinni, good brother, please teach me. I can learn your demonic arts, as long as it can speed up my cultivation."
"Sure, as long as you're not afraid of being beaten to death by your family, you can learn sorcery from me."
Hidden in his words, he teased Ye Dongfeng, "Since you suddenly seem so eager to be diligent, I'm willing to teach you, as long as you're willing to learn."
"Hmm, forget it. I'm really afraid my dad will beat me to death. I'd better just focus on learning our family's magic."
Ye Dongfeng shook his head and said this at the end.
Seeing that everyone was present, Xiao Baicai asked Xiao Hui to serve the food. He also said to Ahui very enthusiastically, "Ahui, how are you feeling working at the management office lately? Now we're all colleagues. This restaurant belongs to my family. If you want to eat here in the future, just come over."
"Okay, thank you."
Ahui felt that his colleagues in the management office were all easy to get along with, and he liked them very much.
Just as everyone was eating, someone suddenly entered the private room. This person was the one Xiaobaicai had been missing for a long time.
"Little White, I'm back. Did you miss me?"
As soon as Qiongqi returned, he went straight to Xiaobaicai. He looked at her with some guilt and said, "I'm sorry for taking so long to come back. I heard you had a bad cold recently. Are you alright now?"
Little Cabbage had indeed been suffering from a rather bad cold recently, but after seeing Qiongqi, he felt much better. He pulled Qiongqi to sit down and said, "How come you're so punctual? Everyone was just about to eat. Did you come back right at mealtime?"
Qiongqi took his seat and greeted everyone, saying, "Hello everyone, it's been a long time!"
"Hello, boss."
"Hello, boss!"
Everyone greeted Qiongqi and also wanted to ask him where he had been recently.
Qiongqi didn't hide anything from them and said directly that he had gone back to his hometown because some things had happened there and he had to deal with them.
Qiongqi's hometown is actually Kunlun Mountain, which is a different space located in the middle of the six realms and connected to all six realms. Ordinary people cannot find that place, but Kunlun Mountain is home to many strange and wonderful mythical beasts, animals, demons and monsters.
So when everyone heard Qiongqi say that he had gone back to his hometown, they guessed that he had probably gone back to Kunlun Mountain.
