Li Changlin hurriedly stuffed the rest of the gyokuro date shortcake into his mouth and said in a meek voice to the woman pulling him by his ear, “Yingying, you were the one who said that this gyokuro date shortcake tasted pretty good. I wanted to see if I can figure out how it’s made so I can make it for you back home!”

On top of his meek and sad tone, Li Changlin deliberately blinked a few times at the woman.

The woman did not buy it and spat, “That was how I was tricked by you all those years ago! If you hadn’t blinked at me like that, I wouldn’t have run away with you 20 years ago. Don’t bother trying this with me. Let’s go!”

A clever-looking chubby man overheard the woman’s words and thought,?Thank God I’m smart. Nothing good can come out from Senior Brother and Junior Sister being together. Nothing beats how comfortable I am running the Spirit Food Pavilion! Women are the scariest creatures! They can never make me as happy as an iron wok can!

When he heard what his wife said, Li Changlin’s mouth twitched.

How is it the same? I only blinked this time, but I also pouted 20 years ago.

But when he heard that his wife wanted to chat with Wang Fuxiang and even addressed her as Sister Xiang, Li Changlin felt slightly uncomfortable.

Wang Fuxiang was at least 70 years old, while his wife was not even 40 years old yet. She should be calling Wang Fuxiang Auntie Xiang.

But when they approached Wang Fuxiang, Li Changlin still addressed her as Sister Xiang while thinking,?I’ll probably get beat up if I call her Auntie Xiang! On the other hand, calling her Sister Xiang makes it seem like I’m of the same generation as the Bamboo Monarch. Hehe! This feeling is pretty good!

Li Changlin immediately proceeded to call Wang Fuxiang Sister Xiang a few more times.

Zhang Yingying immediately knew that Li Changlin was up to something and quickly pinched his side.

She had heard from her father that the Bamboo Monarch had been courting Wang Fuxiang.

If not for Wang Fuxiang’s predicament, she would have become the Purple Bamboo Forest’s mistress long ago.

Before Zhang Yingying eloped with Li Changlin, she was the princess of the Kitchen Fragrance Pavilion and often visited Langya Pavilion to buy accessories.

She had met Wang Fuxiang 20 years ago when she was still a young girl.

If not for the advice she had received from Wang Fuxiang at that time, Zhang Yingying would never have eloped with Li Changlin.

It could be said that Wang Fuxiang had been Zhang Yingying and Li Changlin’s matchmaker.

However, Zhang Yingying had never told Li Changlin about this.

Not even Wang Fuxiang knew that her words would have such a big influence on Zhang Yingying.

Zhang Yingying greeted Wang Fuxiang in a friendly manner.

When Wang Fuxiang saw Zhang Yingying, her ashen face broke out into a bright smile.

Her smile was so stunning that it was as though a flurry of cherry blossoms had floated into the Midnight Palace’s inner area.

A look of nostalgia came over Wang Fuxiang, but her face quickly fell as she said to Zhang Yingying, “Sister Ying, I need to attend to something. I’ll catch up with you soon.”

Wang Fuxiang strode toward Miao Qi, who was trying her best to put on a strong front.

No one knew better than Miao Qi what the relationship between Wang Fuxiang and the Bamboo Monarch was.

Hence, the pinnacle Class 4 Creation Master Miao Qi was panicking.

When she thought of Wang Fuxiang’s bad luck and its impact on the Bamboo Monarch, Miao Qi immediately regained her composure.

Wang Fuxiang trod lightly, and when her skirt swayed, the peony petals seemed to fall onto the floor of the bamboo forest.

She approached Miao Qi calmly, and Miao Qi felt a hint of shame.

No matter what reasons there were, she definitely had less moral ground to stand on than Wang Fuxiang.

Despite being a Class 4 Creation Master or that she was a part of Connected Beast Park, Miao Qi could not start arguing with Wang Fuxiang.

It was not because Wang Fuxiang’s Langya Pavilion had a mountain of resources.

When it came to resources, the Miao family still had more than Langya Pavilion.

Miao Qi was afraid because of the adoration that Wang Fuxiang received from the Bamboo Monarch.

Miao Qi could not move freely with Wang Fuxiang around, as the latter had the right to gain the respect of everyone here.

Thus, Miao Qi could only strike first for Wang Fuxiang’s weak spots.

“Do you know that after being trapped by your bad luck, Lord Bamboo Monarch can’t even create Law Crystals anymore?”

Miao Qi’s words caused everyone’s gazes to shift.

It was because of Wang Fuxiang that many people were rejected when they asked the Bamboo Monarch to create Law Crystals for them.

A sweet yet stern voice sounded before the crowd could speculate further. “Fu Wenzhu was affected by me and is now trapped by my bad luck. You’re right about that.”

Miao Qi was delighted by Wang Fuxiang’s admittance, and she was about to continue hitting Wang Fuxiang’s weak spots when the latter went on to say, “But no matter what, I’m a citizen of the Radiance Federation. If Fu Wenzhu has become a powerless Class 5 Creation Master because of my bad luck, I’m willing to give up my life. His bad luck will be gone after my death.”

The leaders of top factions who had negative opinions on Wang Fuxiang now looked at her in astonishment. They did not expect the sweet Wang Fuxiang to be so steel-willed that she would even say that she was willing to die to remove Lord Bamboo Monarch’s bad luck.

Fu Wenzhu was Bamboo Monarch’s name, and no one, not even Lord Chef Supreme’s daughter Zhang Yingying would dare to call him by it.

Since Wang Fuxiang was willing to die for the Bamboo Monarch, she definitely respected him.

This meant that their relationship had progressed to a certain extent.

Miao Qi did not expect that Wang Fuxiang would rebuke her even after she struck first.

If it was anyone else, Miao Qi would have replied mockingly, “It’s easy to talk about death, but not everyone has the courage to go through with it.”

However, Miao Qi would not dare to say that now.

If she really did say it and Wang Fuxiang ended up dead, Bamboo Monarch would certainly come after her.

He would also go after Connected Beast Park.

While Miao Qi was trying to come up with a way to turn the tables on Wang Fuxiang, the latter said, “Banquets have their own rules. You should be aware of that since you’re from a top faction, right?”
