Chapter 452 Incomplete, Shoes Off
When Baoyuan and Niuma arrived at the banquet hall, they made no attempt to be polite and quickly took their seats.
Bao Yuan didn't go to Yuan Bao's table, but instead found a table where there was only one person.
Niu Ma then found another player with a limp to sit at their table.
Ji Yunting's urgent voice came: "Xiao Han, quickly confirm the candidates. There are 10 minutes left. In 10 minutes, the banquet will end, and the NPCs will slowly leave."
Ji Xinghan felt that no one met the three conditions Ji Yunting had mentioned. Niu Ma was not good-looking at all, and his speech was not that unpleasant. He was just a NNPC with little personality.
However, only this one person currently meets the criteria to some extent.
He just happened to be late.
Ji Xinghan privately messaged Zhang Xiaoxiao: "See? Go and observe their expressions!"
Zhang Xiaoxiao replied with great enthusiasm: "I know, you lame guy who just came up, wait for me!"
She carried a plate of food, pretending to serve it, but instead stood next to the cows and horses, dawdling as she placed the food down and then moving a few plates around.
It's a good opportunity to move the food that cattle and horses like to eat further away.
Ox and Horse: ?
His face turned cold: "Get out of the way!"
Zhang Xiaoxiao: "Okay, my esteemed guest!"
Ji Yunting: "Isn't he quite difficult to communicate with?"
Ji Xinghan: ...
Zhang Xiaoxiao privately messaged Ji Xinghan: "I've looked at it, Niu Ma—skilled in alchemy, he's the assistant to Master Chongyue and Madam Yingyue, his origins are unknown, he's a mysterious figure, um... actually his alchemy skills aren't much worse than Madam Yingyue's, I don't know why he's holed up in the alchemy room as an assistant, oh, oh, he often secretly takes on private jobs!"
Ji Xinghan: "That's it?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao: "It's gone!"
Zhang Xiaoxiao gossiped: "Niu Ma seems pretty capable. Why do you think he became a junior assistant? Could it be... that he has a crush on Madam Yingyue?"
Ji Xinghan: "..."
She quickly sent the information Zhang Xiaoxiao had gathered to Ji Yunting and asked, "This introduction is very vague. Niu Ma seems to have some issues. Could he be the person in charge of the radiation disaster?"
Ji Yunting pondered for a moment: "Wait a moment, I'll discuss it with them."
Ji Xinghan looked at Bao Yuan; now he was the only one left.
Baoyuan is probably not it.
Although Baoyuan is good-looking and difficult to get along with, he is not physically disabled!
She stared at it for a long time.
Indeed, Bao Yuan's arms, legs, ears, and eyes are all intact, without the slightest defect.
Just two minutes later, Ji Yunting replied, "We discussed it, and Niu Ma doesn't seem like it, but his description is too vague, so there's still a slight possibility."
Ji Xinghan glanced at the cow and horse: "They're not good-looking!"
Ji Yunting sighed: "Let's keep him as a backup option for now."
Ji Xinghan glanced at the remaining lame ones and said, "Those look better than cattle and horses. Shall we pick one and take a look?"
Ji Yunting was conflicted; Zhang Xiaoxiao only had one skill left.
We can only look at the last person, and we have to choose this person carefully.
Ji Xinghan frowned deeply.
"Sister Xiaohan, hiccup, come here, this drink is delicious, here you go!"
Yuanbao jumped off the chair, carrying a drink, and stumbled over.
Her little face was flushed, and her eyes were fixed straight ahead.
Ji Xinghan took the drink, smelled it, and his expression changed: "How much did you drink?"
This isn't a beverage, it's fruit wine, and it's quite strong.
Yuanbao is still a child!
Yuanbao swayed and grinned, "Burp, it's delicious! I drank a cup, no, a whole bottle, hee hee!"
She swayed and almost fell, but Ji Xinghan quickly caught her.
Yuanbao: "Hehe, Sister Xiaohan, how did you get so big? Hehe, hehe, snore..."
She actually closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Ji Xinghan was both amused and exasperated. She glanced at Grandma Bao.
Grandma Bao acted as if she couldn't see that Yuanbao was drunk, eating slowly and deliberately without even glancing at them.
Helpless, Ji Xinghan had no choice but to tell Grandma Bao and take Yuanbao to her bedroom.
She put Yuanbao on the bed and took off Yuanbao's shoes.
Suddenly, she froze.
Yuanbao's right foot only has four toes, and the little toe looks like it was cut off.
She stared blankly, murmuring, "Yuanbao, your foot..."
Yuanbao: "Snoring, oh, my toe, one of my toes was bitten off by a big dog when I was little, snoring!"
Ji Xinghan stared at it for a long time.
Ji Yunting had been in video contact with him, and seeing the situation on this side, he became excited: "Xiao Han, Yuanbao is physically disabled, she is very likely the person in charge of radiation disasters, quick, let Zhang Xiaoxiao take a look!"
Ji Xinghan stared intently at Yuanbao's feet and shook his head slightly: "No, Yuanbao is very easy to get along with!"
Yuanbao is a soft, sweet, kind, and adorable little girl!
The second characteristic does not apply!
Ji Yunting was a little anxious: "But, Xiaohan, there's not much time left. You should let Zhang Xiaoxiao take a look."
Ji Xinghan touched Yuanbao's little face and asked, "Yuanbao, your toe was bitten off by the big dog, so what about Baoyuan?"
Yuanbao was fast asleep and didn't say a word.
Ji Yunting realized: "You suspect it's Bao Yuan?"
Ji Xinghan nodded.
Bao Yuan is good-looking but has a bad temper and is difficult to communicate with. It's just that no disability has been discovered yet. But what if she is missing a toe like Yuan Bao?
She needs to check.
Ji Xinghan immediately returned to the banquet hall.
At this moment, Bao Yuan still had a cold face. She was the only one at the large table. She had one hand in her pocket and was eating meat and wine with the other.
She also drank a lot of fruit wine, but her face remained pale and showed no signs of drunkenness.
Ji Xinghan went over and asked, "Baoyuan, are you sleepy? Do you want to go to sleep?"
Bao Yuan turned around and glared at Ji Xinghan: "Why are you sleeping in the middle of the day? I want to eat meat!"
She picked up a large chicken leg and took a big bite.
Jian Lin nudged Ji Xinghan and whispered, "My god, this girl can eat so much! She chased everyone at the table away. She ate two roast ducks, three roast chickens, and drank five bottles of fruit wine. Look, her tummy is still flat. She can probably eat all day."
Ji Xinghan: ...
Indeed, Baoyuan's belly was flat.
She's drunk so much but acts like nothing happened; it's impossible to see her feet now.
Bao Yuan was not good at speaking.
Ji Xinghan coughed and said, "Well, Baoyuan, your shoes are a bit dirty. Why don't you come to my room and I'll get you a new pair?"
Bao Yuan turned around and glared at Ji Xinghan: "What's it to you if I get dirty?"
Ji Xinghan: "I have a pair of beautiful shoes..."
“No!” Bao Yuan said firmly. She moved her seat and said, “I want to eat. You can go to the side.”
Ji Xinghan gritted his teeth. See? This is what it means to be difficult to talk to!
Oh right, didn't we just get three bottles of sleeping potion? Give them to Baoyuan, and she'll fall asleep, right?
She nudged Jian Lin: "Get another bottle of fruit wine."
The fruit wine arrived quickly. Ji Xinghan opened the bottle and secretly poured in a sleeping potion.
Looking up, she saw the handsome middle-aged man sitting not far away, the one with the limp. She stared at Ji Xinghan in shock.
Ji Xinghan turned around, poured the fruit wine for Bao Yuan, and said, "Come on, keep drinking!"
Bao Yuan drank it all in one gulp.
Even after drinking two cups, Bao Yuan remained energetic.
Ji Xinghan was filled with anxiety. Could it be that the sleeping potion wouldn't work?
By this time, some people had already left their seats, and gradually, only half of the people at the banquet remained.
Ji Yunting was getting anxious: "Xiao Han, why are you always staring at Yuanbao? Should we let Zhang Xiaoxiao take a look at Yuanbao first?"
Ji Xinghan waved his hand: "No, Zhang Xiaoxiao only has one chance to read between the lines. We need to confirm before we can decide whether to let her see Bao Yuan or Yuanbao."
She continued to pour wine for Baoyuan. Finally, after finishing the entire bottle of fruit wine, Baoyuan yawned and stood up unsteadily.
Ji Xinghan quickly helped her up: "Come on, let's rest on my bed. Yuanbao is here too."
Bao Yuan waved his hand: "No, I don't like her!"
Ji Xinghan's eyes darted around: "I have a recliner over there, why don't you go lie down on it?"
She helped Baoyuan to the recliner, where he lay back, closed his eyes, and fell fast asleep.
Ji Xinghan reached out and took off her shoes.
