I have to say Bailu is quite capable. I didn't make any arrangements, but she managed to make it look very decent. Look, the wooden tables we brought back from the Diaolou Mountain Diaolou have been placed near the campfire, and many iron plates and iron pots have been used to put many ingredients on them, such as baked potatoes, shrimps, fish, crab meat, wild vegetables, mountain mushrooms, and stewed kelp soup in earthenware jars, as well as some steamed buns, pickles, and a big bucket of mountain spring water. Of course, there will be no shortage of dried mountain fruits, which are very filling and fragrant.

A huge killer crab claw was roasting in the middle of the bonfire as the gimmick of the night. The hyenas were all around the bonfire, shouting and wooing, extremely excited. The little red foxes were also running around the bonfire. Bai Lu and her two kitchen helpers were keeping order, and they could vaguely see Hu Lingshang sitting in the middle of the team, clapping her hands and smiling innocently.

It's rare that everyone is so happy now, so I just watched from the side. Otherwise, the hyenas would become reserved like mice seeing a cat when they see me. This is supposed to be a night for them to relax, as long as the goal is achieved.

At this moment, there was a brief pause in the noise, and Yunwen came with Sanfu. When she came, all the hyena people consciously made way for her, and the focus of the whole audience was on her. It can be seen that the eyes of these hyena people were eager and full of admiration. It can be seen that they treated Yunwen differently from me. They admired her, which was quite different from when they saw me.

Yunwen walked over slowly. I was watching from a distance and saw Bailu sneer at this scene, while Lingshang stepped forward to greet her, but Yunwen looked around, probably looking for me. Since Yunwen is here, I can't let her be too lonely. This bonfire party is not only for everyone. In fact, I also have a selfish motive, which is to use this opportunity to welcome you back and give you a grand welcome.

I was about to go forward, but saw Lingshang already talking to Yunwen, so I slowed down so as not to disturb the two girls' private conversation. Their voices were not loud, but I could still hear a little among the noise.

"Sister Lingshang, have you seen Zhou Bo?" Yunwen asked.

"I didn't see him. It just so happens that he is not here right now. I have something to say to you alone." Hu Lingshang said.

When I heard this, I stopped and found a mud house nearby to listen to what the two of them wanted to say.

Lingshang brought Yunwen to the back of another mud house not far from me and said, "Sister Yunwen, what do you think?"

Then I heard a pause, and then I heard Yunwen's uneasy voice, "Are you talking about the evil spirit I saw in the mountain, about the guys that Mei Sanniang mentioned? I have already asked Zhou Bo about this matter, and he told me that he would share the same hatred with me. He said that we are a whole, a family, and cannot be divided. You asked me what I think, and I can only say that I will listen to Zhou Bo and plan to do as he says."

Ling Shang coughed and said, "What evil spirit in the mountain? That's not what I'm asking."

"Then Sister Lingshang, what do you want to ask?" Yunwen's voice sounded a little embarrassed.

"What you said, Zhou Lang has his own decisions. He is the king, the master here. If he has such a decision, we should obey it and should not interfere with him, no matter if we are his wives, concubines or subjects. Tonight is the celebration banquet set by Zhou Lang, so I naturally will not discuss such serious topics on this night. So what I want to ask is about the matter of marriage and consummation. Since you, sister Yunwen, are the principal wife, the queen, I think you should make the decision on such matters." Ling Shang said.

"About consummation of the marriage?" Yunwen's voice was filled with surprise.

At this moment, not only was she surprised, I was also extremely surprised. I didn't expect that Ling Shang, who was the most serious and elegant in daily life, would be the first to ask this question. However, I was very curious about how she would answer about the arrangements for the wedding consummation.

But just as the two of them were chatting, I heard some other strange noises on the grass near the adobe house, like other footsteps. Judging from the footsteps, the rhythm of the footsteps must be human, and the sounds were sneaky. It seemed that Bai Lu was also eavesdropping nearby.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. If she was eavesdropping just now, she probably knew about the evil spirit in the mountain. Now she hasn't left yet, and she is probably waiting for Yunwen to talk about the arrangements. Tonight was supposed to be a welcome night for Yunwen. If she talked about some arrangements now and offended Bai Lu who was hiding in the corner, I'm afraid there would be another unpleasant night. Yunwen is also in trouble, so it's time for me to take action.

I stood up from behind the mud house and said in surprise, "Huh? Yunwen, Lingshang, why did you come out alone? I just found that you were not here, and I thought that the hyenas should have eaten all the delicious food. What are you talking about?"

It would have been fine if I hadn't asked. When I asked, both girls felt embarrassed. Lingshang shyly left me first, while Yunwen coughed and said, "Men shouldn't ask about girls' private conversations."

I chuckled in my heart. What private talk? The topic is still related to me.

Then I hugged Yunwen and went to the other side of the campfire. I took a look at the corner on the right and saw a shadow in the dark. It was a woman's figure, Song Bailu's. It seemed that my guess was correct.

When I returned to the campfire, I didn't expect that the hyenas had already started playing. They just saluted when they saw me, but didn't stop twisting their bodies. This surprised me. I saw many of them were already sitting around and eating. I also picked an open space. Now that the autumn wind is getting colder, I searched around and found a place closer to the campfire that was more suitable.

Yunwen sat with me, and soon the little red foxes came running over, circling around Yunwen and making coquettish howls. Yunwen hugged one, and there were several more lying on her legs. She must be very warm now. The red foxes are here, so Lingshang must not be far behind. Not long after, she also sat next to me, but when she saw me, she couldn't hide her shyness. Although I knew what happened just now, I overheard it after all, so it was not easy to tell her.

After a while, Song Bailu also came over. She brought a lot of food in a basin, which was very thoughtful. After she came to us, everyone was hungry, so she ate the food in the basin. There were all kinds of roasted flavors, the aroma of various dry ingredients, and my favorite big steamed buns. It was so satisfying.

Since there were girls sitting on my left and right, she squatted in front of me, glanced at Lingshang and Yunwen, and then said, "Brother Zhou Bo, it's like this. If we just eat and play tonight, it would be too monotonous. I do have a suggestion to liven up the atmosphere. I wonder if you can tell me about it."

I don't know what tricks she's going to play, but now she's the one who bought everything, and she brought all the food here on purpose. If I refuse directly, wouldn't it be like punishing her? I'd inevitably feel resentful, so I asked, "What's your suggestion?"

"I remember Brother Zhou Bo, you said that you needed a good wife. Since you want to be the king here, you must have a queen to help you manage things. Don't rush to oppose me. I'm not just talking nonsense. Think about it, the things a queen has to do are tedious, and now basically all the tedious logistics are taken care of by me. Although I can't be the principal wife, but this good wife, I think I should also be qualified to compete. So I suggest that we hold a competition tonight and let all the hyena people decide who will be the queen here. How about it?" Song Bailu asked.

I immediately frowned and said, "There's no need to compete. Just be a good wife. As for king, queen, and the like, there's no need for us to get these useless titles now. As long as we can survive together, there's no need to fight for other things."

"It's okay, Zhou Bo. If she wants to compete with me, I will accompany her. You are the king here, and I am the only one who can be your queen. As for the title of good wife, I also care about it. So go ahead and compete. No matter what you want to compete in, I will be happy to accompany you." Yunwen said.

Song Bailu couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, that's the best! Sister Yunwen is really sensible. The hyenas are still young now. They only know me, but not Yunwen, so they don't know who their mistress is. So let's have a competition tonight and let them choose between me and Sister Yunwen. It's the best choice. As for the topic, for the sake of fairness, let the hyenas vote to decide, how about it?"

I was immediately embarrassed. What if Yunwen lost? Wouldn't it ruin my mood tonight?
