Chapter 57: Hotpot will destroy you!
The sky over Rock Fort finally cleared up, the sun seeming to dissipate the lingering smell of gunpowder. Pedestrians hurried along the streets, filled with joy at having survived and hope for the future. Shops gradually reopened, striving to restore the city's former vitality.
Dongfang Yuning was finally freed from the "arms workshop" filled with the smell of gunpowder. She changed into a refreshing light yellow brocade dress embroidered with broken magnolia branches, and covered it with a light moon-white gauze dress.
Taking into account the sandstorms in the border town and the need to keep a low profile, a veil of the same color covered her face, revealing only a pair of smart and clever eyes that were now filled with a desire for food.
After being locked up in the workshop and eating dry food for a few days, she missed the hustle and bustle of life, especially the hot and spicy hot pot!
"Brother Aye!"
She tugged at the sleeve of the person next to her, her voice full of joy even through the veil.
"Let's go to Fuxing Hotpot for hotpot. I'm craving hotpot. I'm inspecting the properties of Rock Castle, so I want to...reward my stomach while I'm there."
She blinked, her meaning self-evident.
Nangong Ye was dressed in a dark-colored uniform with dark patterns. He stood tall and straight like a pine tree, and his aura was elegant and noble. He naturally took Dongfang Yuning's slightly cool little hand and wrapped it in his warm and dry palm. The smile in his eyes deepened when he heard her say:
"Okay. Rock Castle is just getting established, and all businesses are waiting to be developed. It's time to see how our own shop is doing. What Ning'er wants to eat is naturally good."
He was happy to go there so that he could relax with her and see with his own eyes the status of the "Fuxing" brand she created in the border town.
[Hot pot! My happy hometown! The light of my life! The fire of my desire! Tripe! Duck intestines! Yellow throat! Spicy beef! Slurp——
System! Quick! Immediately! Right now! Project the ingredient list for the Fuxing Hotpot Panshibao branch onto my retina! I'm going to use the boss's titanium dog eyes...
No, it's a discerning eye, appraising the quality! And checking for hidden SSR-grade snowflake cattle! Going on an incognito tour? Gauging the sentiments of the people? That's all incidental! Eating is the primary productive force!]
Dongfang Yuning's voice was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, and with his extreme desire for hot pot, it was beating Nangong Ye's heart drum frantically.
System 118:
[Beep—Host, calm down! Your CPU is about to overload! Data for the Panshibao 'Fuxing Hotpot' branch has been loaded. Owner: Wang Defu (formerly the third owner of the Beijing headquarters, now at 80% blackmail).]
Special dishes: Frontier air-dried mutton hotpot (limited quantity, host is advised to buy it quickly), secret spicy beef (highly recommended, host saliva secretion exceeds the standard warning).
Friendly reminder: Host, please maintain your bossy persona! Imagine you're a cool goddess! Not a three-day-starved glutton! Watch your posture! Your posture! Your saliva is dripping onto your veil! Your slurping is excessive!
Dongfang Yuning:
[Majesty? Aloofness? All of that is nothing in front of hot pot! The veil is my eating barrier! Within the barrier, all beings are equal, even the boss is a eater! If you're not actively eating, there's something wrong with your thinking!]
System, what do you, a coder, know about the real world?! Stop yapping and think about whether to simmer the tripe first, or let the spicy beef simmer in the red oil! Ahhh! I'm having a hard time deciding!]
The little person inside her was already swimming on her back in the ocean of hot pot.
The two of them, accompanied by four seemingly ordinary followers but actually elite secret guards with an aura as restrained as the abyss, walked towards Fuxing Hotpot, located in the most prosperous area of the main street.
The vermilion lacquered gate, the gilded plaque, and the unique auspicious cloud and blessing logo of "Fengming Jiuxiao Chamber of Commerce" at the door are very impressive.
Before he even entered the door, the alluring hot and spicy aroma seemed to have little hands, teasing Dongfang Yuning's taste buds.
The waiter at the door was quite clever. Seeing the two men's extraordinary demeanor, he bowed attentively:
"Please come in, my two distinguished guests! The private room upstairs is quiet!"
Nangong Ye nodded slightly and was about to take a step forward holding Dongfang Yuning's hand when a fierce argument could be clearly heard from the lobby on the first floor near the stairs, instantly destroying the aroma of food in the hall.
A young man named Zhao Jinbao, in his early twenties, wearing a brand new silk gown and with a slicked-back face, was arrogantly pointing at three men at the table wearing coarse shorts who looked like escorts, spitting profusely.
"...Eighty taels! Not a penny less! Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? What kind of person is this? Do you know what this place is? Fuxing Hot Pot!
This is a property owned by Princess Fuxing! It uses the Princess's secret recipe! They only entertain prominent figures! You poor escorts, you're so lucky to be able to come in and smell it! How dare you complain about the price?!
The three escorts flushed red in the face, shocked and angry. The bearded man in the lead slammed the table and stood up, his voice as loud as a bell:
"Bullshit! We've traveled all over the country and eaten in restaurants before! Two taels of silver for the double-boiled hotpot, two taels and five cents for a plate of top-quality mutton, three taels for a plate of tripe, one tael for all the vegetables, and two taels for the drinks! All in all, ten taels and five cents of silver is the maximum!"
You're asking for eighty taels right out of your mouth? Are you running a black market or just robbing people?! What's this about Princess Fuxing's property? The Princess is kind and loving, how could she allow a parasite like you to ruin her reputation!
"That's right! What a lousy shopkeeper! I think you're just a lackey who bullies others by taking advantage of your power!"
Another young escort also shouted angrily.
Zhao Jinbao's face turned pale and blue after being scolded. He was so angry that he jumped up and cursed:
"Shut up! How dare you scold me?! My uncle is the head shopkeeper of Fuxing Hot Pot! He was appointed by Princess Fuxing herself! Who do you think you are?!
Eighty taels means eighty taels! If you don't pay today, don't even think about leaving this door! Come on! Detain them! Send them to the authorities! Accuse them of eating a free meal and defaming the princess's property!
As soon as he finished speaking, several men who were also wearing silk shirts and had fleshy faces and looked like thugs surrounded him, looking ferocious.
[Holy crap! Eighty taels?! Why doesn't he just go rob the national treasury?! He's on my territory, using my name, and bullying my potential customers (and my tripe suppliers?)
Such a ruthless extortion?! This isn't just a termite, this is a TM iron-eating beast gone mad! Its appetite is even bigger than that of a glutton!]
Dongfang Yuning's footsteps were instantly nailed to the spot. Even through the veil, Nangong Ye could feel a blazing flame rising from her head as if in a concrete form. Her beautiful eyes were burning with a rage that was enough to burn steel!
[System! Activate Super Transformation! Check! Who is this idiot with greasy hair and a head full of tofu dregs or gutter oil?!]
Is that good shopkeeper named Wang Defu counting money backstage right now until his hands cramp?! He's stirring up trouble in my happy hometown, ruining my culinary success and my reputation for kindness?! Ahhhh! My hot pot! My happiness! It's all been tarnished by these two!]
System 118 reacts as fast as lightning:
[Ding—Deep scan initiated! Target: Zhao Jinbao, male, 21 years old. Relationship: Wang Defu's distant nephew (blood relationship questionable, 100% likely a sycophantic relationship).]
Unemployed, occupation: social scum. Joined the shop two weeks ago and was assigned to be the "Atmosphere Team Leader" (actually a professional scammer and extortionist).
Key evidence: Wang Defu abused his position to tamper with the price list (the actual execution price was 5-8 times the published price), and tacitly allowed Zhao Jinbao to carry out targeted fraud in the name of "Princess's Property" (specifically targeting foreign merchants). Seven cases of victimization have been verified, and the total illegal income is 537 taels and 8 cents of silver.
The chain of evidence is complete, and a scan of Wang Defu's private account is included (backed up in the cloud). Friendly reminder: Host, your blood pressure has exceeded the safe threshold. It is recommended to take deep breaths or directly lower your blood pressure (such as kicking your feet?).
【Wang! De! Fu! Zhao! Jin! Bao!】
Dongfang Yuning gnashed his teeth in his heart, and every word was like a steel needle tempered by fire.
[Good! Very good! You're using my high salary and my reputation to try to steal my employees, destroy my business, and smear my face!]
Truly my 'Crouching Dragon and Phoenix'! If I don't turn your two lucky stars into unlucky ones today, I'll spell my name, Dongfang Yuning, backwards! Ning Yu Fang Dong? Doesn't sound so bad... Ugh! Is now the time to dwell on this?!]
Her anger was like an active volcano that had been accumulating for thousands of years and was about to erupt indiscriminately.
At the same time, Nangong Ye's face instantly darkened, and the air pressure around him plummeted, leaving him bone-chilled! His deep eyes swept across Zhao Jinbao and the obese figure of Wang Defu, who had hurriedly run out from behind the counter, as if he were looking at two ants about to be crushed.
[How dare you ruin Ning'er's reputation and oppress the people she so desperately wanted to protect? Even more despicable, you've prevented her from enjoying her beloved hot pot... Unforgivable!]
The murderous intent in Nangong Ye's heart was as condensed as solid ice.
"stop!"
A clear shout, with unquestionable majesty and a hint of suppressed anger that was about to explode, suddenly sounded, drowning out the noise in the field.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a veiled, slim woman in yellow clothes looking at them coldly at the stairs.
The young man in black clothes beside her, who had an astonishing aura and seemed to have his own ice field, made people dare not look directly at him.
Zhao Jinbao was interrupted and was very unhappy. He looked at Dongfang Yuning and Nangong Ye with a squinting eye:
"Hey? Where did you come from, little lady? Why are you meddling in other people's business? Do you know who I am? If you know what's good for you, hurry up..."
"Shut up!"
An even colder rebuke came from behind Dongfang Yuning. An attendant (Secret Guard A) stepped forward with a look as sharp as lightning. With just one glance, the rest of Zhao Jinbao's words got stuck in his throat. He shuddered all over, as if stabbed by an invisible ice cone.
At this time, the fat shopkeeper Wang Defu ran over and saw the demeanor of Nangong Ye and Dongfang Yuning, especially the soul-freezing pressure from Nangong Ye and the anger in Dongfang Yuning's eyes that was almost turning into reality. Alarm bells rang in his heart and his calves began to cramp.
He quickly put on a smile that was uglier than crying, trotted over, and bent over while wiping his sweat, with large beads of sweat dripping down his face.
"Please calm down, my dear guests! I am Wang Defu, the owner of this restaurant. I failed to discipline my child properly, allowing this ignorant nephew to rudely offend you! I will arrange the best private room for you! All drinks are free! All free! And we will also give you our signature air-dried lamb hotpot!"
He tried to use delicious food to divert attention and get away with it.
[Heh! Are you scared now? Trying to bribe me with a mutton hotpot? No way! This princess just wants to eat grilled squid... Ugh, you're a grilled borer!]
Dongfang Yuning sneered inwardly and ignored Wang Defu's flattery. She walked straight to the three escorts' table and spoke in a clear, soothing voice:
"My three escort leaders, I'm sorry to bother you. The dishes you just ordered, according to the price posted on the wall, should be ten taels and five cents. Is that right?"
The bearded escort was startled, then clasped his fists and said in a loud voice:
"My lady, you are right! You are absolutely right! It was this fellow who was being unreasonable and demanding eighty taels! He even accused us of freeloading! He ruined the princess's reputation!"
Listen! What a simple and lovely customer! What a clear account! What a sharp contrast! You parasites, don’t your consciences hurt? Oh, you don’t have that thing!
Dongfang Yuning's mind was filled with crazy comments, but on the surface he nodded calmly:
"very good."
She turned to Wang Defu, her eyes like icicles:
"Shopkeeper Wang, is this price list on the wall the price of your Fuxing Hotpot Panshibao branch? Is it, or is it not?"
Wang Defu's forehead was covered with cold sweat, he hesitated, his eyes wandering:
"This...this...the border town is bitterly cold, the journey is long, and prices are skyrocketing...the cost is really high..."
"I'm asking you whether you are or not!"
Dongfang Yuning's voice suddenly rose, carrying with it a thunderous sense of oppression and a hint of madness that was about to be uncontrollable!
[If you keep talking nonsense and delay my meal, I'll throw you into the hot pot!]
Wang Defu was so frightened that his soul was about to be shattered, and his legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees:
"Yes...it's the publicly announced price..."
The sound is as thin as a mosquito.
"Okay then!"
Dongfang Yuning turned around suddenly, as if possessed by the goddess of justice, and pointed his finger precisely at Zhao Jinbao and the thugs, his fingertips seemed to be shining with lightning.
"This man, Zhao Jinbao, holds no official position! In this shop, he demanded eighty taels of silver from these three hardworking escorts who traveled extensively to deliver supplies to Rock Fort, paying five or even eight times the advertised price! He also claimed that this property belonged to Princess Fuxing and that this was the Princess's rule! Is this true?!"
Her voice was clearly heard throughout the hall where you could hear a pin drop. All the diners put down their chopsticks and watched this wonderful scene with bated breath.
"Yes! It's definitely him!"
The bearded escort immediately loudly testified.
"He just said he would take us to the authorities! He said the princess had set this price!"
The young escort added.
"We all heard it!"
The diners around couldn't help but speak out, filled with indignation. A woman holding a child whispered:
"A few days ago, my brother from my mother's family came over and was also asked to pay an extra twenty taels..."
A young man who looked like a scholar shook his head:
"You are so shameless! How dare you slander the princess's reputation like this!"
[Host, the evidence is solid, with witnesses and evidence in evidence, and public opinion is overwhelmingly one-sided. It's time to eliminate them on behalf of the moon... no, on behalf of Hot Pot!]
System 118 suggested calmly with a hint of excitement.
[Of course! This kind of cosmic garbage, even if left there for even a second longer, is polluting the air! Cleaning up the mess, right now! My tripe is calling me!]
Dongfang Yuning was furious but determined.
Zhao Jinbao saw that the situation was not good and shouted fiercely:
"You... you are slandering me! Who do you think you are? How dare you meddle in the affairs of the princess's family! My uncle is the shopkeeper appointed by the princess herself! You..."
"presumptuous!"
Nangong Ye finally spoke. His voice was not loud, but it was like a judgment from the underworld, instantly freezing all of Zhao Jinbao's voice and courage. His cold gaze swept over the trembling Wang Defu:
"Wang Defu, owner of the Panshibao Hotpot branch of the Fengming Jiuxiao Chamber of Commerce, earns a monthly salary of fifty taels. His responsibilities include running the store and maintaining the reputation of Fuxing. Do you admit your guilt?"
Wang Defu was horrified by Nangong Ye's all-seeing gaze, which seemed to penetrate his soul. He fell heavily to his knees with a plop, kowtowed profusely, and tears streamed down his face.
"Please spare me, my lord! Please spare me, my lady! I was… I was confused for a moment! I was blinded by greed! I was bewitched by a ghost! It's all… it's all because of this evil!"
He pointed at Zhao Jinbao fiercely, and the speed of throwing the blame was comparable to the speed of light.
"It was him! He was the one who bewitched me! He said the border town was far from home... No, no, no, it was because the princess was kind and wouldn't investigate too closely... She said I could get more... Damn it! I'm worse than a pig or a dog!"
He sold his nephew out without hesitation.
Zhao Jinbao was completely dumbfounded and pointed at Wang Defu:
"Uncle, uncle! You...how could you..."
[Oh, wonderful! Live broadcast of a large-scale dog-eat-dog ethics drama! The fake uncle-nephew relationship is broken with just one poke!]
The villain in Dongfang Yuning's heart had already prepared his little stool, and all he needed was a handful of melon seeds.
“That’s enough!”
Dongfang Yuning interrupted the farce with a sharp voice. She took a deep breath, which seemed to carry the aroma of hot pot, calming her down a little (and making her even hungrier).
She looked around the silent lobby, her eyes sweeping over the diners who were either stunned, angry, expectant, or finally seeing hope.
She slowly raised her hand and gently took off the veil from her face in front of everyone's astonished, curious and breathless gazes.
A face of unparalleled beauty, now stained with a touching blush due to anger, making it even more radiant and beautiful, enough to brighten up the whole room, was instantly exposed in front of everyone!
"ah--!"
A short scream (from some excited aunt).
"Good heavens!"
(From the old farmer who sprays tea).
"Hiss... the fairy in the painting has come down to earth?"
(From the dull scholar).
"It's...it's Princess Fuxing! The one thrown from the city wall...ah no, it's Princess Fuxing who saved us!"
Someone shouted excitedly, his voice trembling and full of reverence.
"It's really the Princess!"
"Long live the princess!"
Exclamations of confirmation and cries of respect rang out instantly. For the people of Rock Castle, this face was a symbol of redemption and hope! The legend of the five earth-shattering explosions was especially deeply ingrained in their hearts.
At the same time, Zhao Jinbao and Wang Defu also saw the face clearly.
The blood color on Zhao Jinbao's face faded away completely in an instant, his eyes widened almost popping out of their sockets, his mouth opened wide enough to fit a duck egg, and a "ho ho" gasping sound came from his throat. He was like a toad struck by lightning, frozen in place, and a dark, smelly wet mark quickly spread across his crotch - he was scared to death.
Wang Defu's fat body twitched suddenly, like a fathead fish out of water. He rolled his eyes, made a "click" sound in his throat, and fell straight back - he was scared to death, although he was grabbed by the secret guard like a dead dog the next second.
Dongfang Yuning's eyes were like lightning, filled with thunderous rage, shooting directly at the termites on the ground, one pissing and the other fainting from fear. His voice, with awe-inspiring power, was clearly heard in every corner:
"This princess is Dongfang Yuning! Vice President of Fengming Jiuxiao Chamber of Commerce!"
"Wang Defu! Zhao Jinbao! As the Chamber of Commerce's owners and their relatives, you receive my salary and trust!
Instead of working diligently to maintain the reputation of Fuxing, he used the name of this princess to engage in vile practices such as bullying the market, asking for exorbitant prices, extortion, and lining his own pockets!
"How dare you slander this princess for setting such a sinister rule! You have ruined the reputation of this princess and 'Lucky Star'! Your heart is worthy of death! Your deeds should be cut into pieces!"
Her voice was resounding, carrying the unquestionable majesty of a superior and the determination to rule for the people:
"Someone come!"
"exist!"
Four secret guards stepped forward in an instant, their aura as awe-inspiring as unsheathed swords.
"Catch these two who have tarnished the reputation of 'Lucky Star,' oppressed the people, and prevented this princess from enjoying hot pot... ahem, they are extremely evil parasites!"
"yes!"
The secret guard moved as fast as lightning, instantly pinning down Wang Defu, who was limp as mud, and Zhao Jinbao, who was shaking like a sieve and had wet crotch. His movements were clean and neat, as if he was handling two bags of non-recyclable garbage.
"Wang Defu, dismissed from his position as shopkeeper, all illegal gains confiscated! Zhao Jinbao, punished with the same crime!
The two will be immediately escorted to the Panshi Fort government office and severely punished according to the "Dayan Law - Fraud" and the "Shang Law - Malfeasance and Property Infringement"! This princess will personally monitor this case and will not tolerate any leniency!
Dongfang Yuning's verdict was decisive and decisive.
"The princess is wise!!!"
The three escorts were so excited that their eyes filled with tears. They were the first to shout, their voices shaking the roof tiles!
"The princess is wise! She is ridding the people of this evil!"
"Well done! Satisfactory!"
"Long live Princess Fuxing!"
The entire lobby instantly erupted in deafening, heartfelt cheers and applause! All the diners stood up excitedly, looking at Dongfang Yuning with eyes filled with unparalleled admiration, gratitude, and enthusiasm!
This is the Princess Lucky Star they envision: benevolent, compassionate, down-to-earth, and protective! Didn't the Princess just say she was obstructing the hot pot? So real! So cute!
Well done, host! Your drastic measures are a resounding success! Fuxing's reputation crisis has been resolved, and its reputation has increased by 200! The cohesion of the people of Rock Castle has been greatly enhanced! Bonus: A recipe for the hidden menu's 'Iced Sour Plum Soup' (essential for relieving spiciness and reducing internal heat)!
System 118's announcement came with a cheerful electronic sound.
[Hmph! You dare to mess around on my turf and delay my meal? This is what happens! Sour plum soup? Not bad, not bad, I'll need it later!]
The villain in Dongfang Yuning finally raised his fist in victory, let out a breath of anger, and felt that he was one step closer to the hot pot.
Nangong Ye walked to her side and looked at her profile, which was more vivid and dazzling because of her anger and now slightly flushed because of the cheers of the people. His eyes were filled with undisguised admiration, pride and tenderness.
He added to the secret guard in a low voice, loud enough for everyone to hear:
"I hereby decree that the Panshi Fort government office expedite the investigation of this case and impose severe punishment! The results must be made public throughout the city! Furthermore, a thorough investigation of all Fuxing-affiliated businesses in Panshi Fort is to be conducted. Any further instances of such scum will be met with stern punishment! The royal guards will assist in overseeing this matter."
"I will obey the prince's order!"
The secret guards received the order and dragged out the pale, incontinent and unconscious Wang Defu and the trembling Zhao Jinbao with Parkinson's disease and water dripping from his crotch like dead dogs, leaving two unsightly water marks on the ground.
"Your Majesty?!"
"It's His Royal Highness Prince Yong!"
The people exclaimed once more, looking at the couple with even greater awe and gratitude. His Royal Highness Prince Yong was indeed as rumored, the Princess's strongest support!
Amidst this sea of cheers, the four secret guard leaders (Secret Guard A) looked at each other like the most sophisticated radar, silently scanning every diner, waiter, and even the heads of those in the kitchen.
The look was calm, yet it carried a heavy burden and a silent warning:
The waiter who was dancing with excitement just now felt a chill on the back of his neck. He met the emotionless gaze of Secret Guard B and stood at attention instantly, silent as a cicada.
The scholar who wanted to share the gossip about the "Princess's Heartfelt Thoughts" with his companions was "inadvertently" brushed past by Secret Guard C. He was gently tapped on the shoulder, and a faint, chilling whisper reached his ear:
"Your Majesty, the newly built wall of the dungeon in Prince Yong's mansion is missing a few bricks."
The scholar's face turned pale and he covered his mouth tightly.
*Secret Guard Ding Ze walked silently behind the counter and said only two words to the newly promoted, excited and frightened deputy manager:
"Watch your mouth."
The deputy manager nodded his head like a chick pecking at rice, and his back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.
An invisible, solemn atmosphere of confidentiality quietly spread amid the cheers and then quickly dissipated. Everyone understood what was meant - some of the thoughts they had just heard must be kept to themselves, otherwise the consequences would be serious.
Dongfang Yuning calmed down his emotions (mainly because of hunger), turned to the people in the lobby, and a gentle and slightly apologetic smile appeared on his face again. His stomach rumbled faintly at the right time, which was keenly caught by Nangong Ye who was nearby, and the smile in his eyes deepened.
"My fellow villagers, today's incident is due to my lax discipline. I'm sorry for frightening you all and ruining your fun. To express my apology, all drinks and dishes are free for all diners at Fuxing Hotpot today!
Enjoy your meal, everyone! Starting tomorrow, all prices for our dishes will be strictly in accordance with the notice on the wall. There will be no second-hand pricing! We will also accept supervision from all diners! If there is any further injustice, you can go directly to the City Lord's Mansion to complain to this princess!
"Long live the princess!"
"Live long, my Lord!"
The cheers were so loud that they practically blew the roof off the table! The people were incredibly excited, not only because they were getting a free meal, but also because they had seen a truly fair and just master who cared about the people and even had a cute little temper!
Dongfang Yuning looked at this lively scene, and the anger in her heart was finally replaced by relief and a stronger sense of hunger. She quietly tugged at Nangong Ye's sleeve and whispered in a pitiful tone that only the two of them could hear:
"Brother Aye... that... the powerful enemy has been defeated, justice has been served... now... can we, can we eat? I... I feel like my stomach is already protesting, and I urgently need hot pot..."
The female warrior who was so imposing just now instantly turned into a pitiful little creature waiting to be fed.
Nangong Ye couldn't help but laugh, the coldness in his eyes instantly melting into a gentle, doting smile. He held her hand tightly and gave instructions to the new deputy manager, who was still shaken but excited. His voice had returned to its usual coolness, but it held an unquestionable tone:
"Private room. Bring the best dango hotpot. Specialties, especially air-dried lamb, secret spicy beef, tripe, duck intestines, and yellow throat... Serve immediately, to the highest standards."
"Yes! Yes! Your Majesty, Princess, please come upstairs! It will be ready soon! Right now! Immediately!"
The deputy manager was so excited that he almost bit his tongue. He even rolled and crawled towards the kitchen, his voice hoarse.
[Host, your dignity? Your personality? It's collapsing faster than my computer crashes! However... in consideration of your efforts to eliminate harm for the people, this system will reluctantly understand. Go, embrace your happy home! PS: The hidden menu sour plum soup has been ordered for you.]
System 118’s complaints are delivered accurately.
[Shut up! Of all things, eating is the most important! This princess just finished her duty, can't she enjoy herself?! This is called a balance between work and rest! Tripe! My sister is here!]
Dongfang Yuning cheered in his heart, and his health was restored instantly. He happily pulled Nangong Ye's hand and rushed upstairs, his steps so light that he seemed to be flying.
Only the people in the lobby on the first floor were left, still immersed in excitement, gratitude, and complex emotions of "the princess is so cute/the prince is so fond of her/the hot pot smells so good", as well as the more tempting aroma of hot pot blessed by justice that filled the air.
This anti-counterfeiting campaign by the princess not only cleared out the termites with great force, but also made the golden signboard of "Fuxing" shine brightly in the hearts of the people in the border town, and added a bit of fresh and lovely human touch!
And our lucky princess can finally focus on the hot pot feast she has been dreaming of.
