313: Big fat snake, you finally kicked the cotton

By a tranquil seaside, a gentle breeze rustled the waves, creating a soft swishing sound.

Members of the Special Affairs Handling Bureau, along with Linglong and Little Fox, sat in a circle, with the corpse of a sea Yao Beast placed in the center.

Sunlight spilled over them, reflecting the relaxed and joyful expressions on everyone's faces.

They enjoyed the delicious food while chatting and playing around.

Laughter and voices intertwined, filling the entire atmosphere with joy.

Suddenly, a figure walked over from the seaside.

Qin Zhe was bare-bodied and still dripping with water; his steps seemed a little hurried.

His tone towards Xin Mulan was still filled with Life Qi: "Xin Mulan, if your eyes aren't working well, go to an ophthalmologist next time."

Xin Mulan put her hands on her hips and retorted without showing any weakness: "Who said that? Both of my eyes have 5.0 vision."

Her gaze was firm and confident, believing there was nothing wrong with her vision.

Qin Zhe strode quickly to Xin Mulan's side, his deep and sharp eyes fixed intently on her, a hint of hidden displeasure showing in his gaze: "So, you did it on purpose before, then?"

Xin Mulan pushed hard with both hands, trying to push Qin Zhe's close body away a bit, while muttering: "I already said it was a mistake, and I've already apologized to you."

A hint of helplessness and grievance appeared on her face.

Qin Zhe looked at Xin Mulan's stubborn appearance, and the anger in his heart couldn't help but flare up again, but he still forcibly suppressed it.

After all, in such a wonderful atmosphere, he didn't want to ruin everyone's mood over a small matter.

With that said, Xin Mulan quickly turned and threw herself into Jin Meiting's soft, lovely, and warm embrace, then began to act spoiled like Lin Daiyu possessed: "Wuwuwu, Qin Zhe is really scary, I really didn't do it on purpose, why is Older Brother so angry? Did Younger Sister do something wrong? Younger Sister apologizes to you here."

Jin Meiting quickly covered her mouth with her hand, trying not to let her laughter be too obvious, lest it annoy Qin Zhe even more.

At this moment, Old Qin gently patted Qin Zhe's shoulder and comforted him: "Oh, I'm not even angry, so don't be unhappy anymore; I'll give you two more pieces of delicious roasted meat later, okay."

Qin Zhe remained silent after hearing that...

After a pleasant conversation, everyone began to get busy.

Jin Meiting, Ke Ming, and Xin Mulan voluntarily took on the important task of roasting meat; they skillfully placed the meat slices on the grill, constantly turning them to ensure even heating, emitting an enticing aroma.

And Old Qin, from who knows where, brought out some fine wine; he carefully held the wine jar, a simple smile on his face.

Qin Zhe, on the other hand, went up the mountain to gather some wild vegetables and wild rabbits; his figure moved through the mountains, and soon he returned with a full harvest.

Linglong happily stayed beside Xin Mulan and the others, her eyes fixed on the roasted meat on the grill, occasionally sneaking a bite when no one was looking.

Her expression was one of satisfaction, "It's so delicious!"

Big Yellow and Little Fox lay lazily to the side, playing, showing disdain for Linglong's sneaking behavior.

However, their envious eyes revealed their true thoughts, as if they also really wanted to taste the delicious roasted meat.

When Linglong took another bite of the meat Xin Mulan had roasted, Xin Mulan's eerie voice suddenly came from beside her: "Linglong, if you dare to steal another bite, we'll only eat large spicy strips today!"

Linglong shivered upon hearing this, clearly frightened by Xin Mulan's words.

Big Yellow and Little Fox, on the other hand, mocked Linglong from the side, as if saying: "Let's see if you dare to steal food again."

A moment later, an enticing aroma wafted through the air.

It turned out that the Yao Beast meat had been roasted to a golden crisp, and various wild vegetables and game were neatly arranged, awaiting tasting.

Everyone gathered around, immersed in this rare feast.

The aroma of roasted meat permeated the air, making everyone's mouths water.

They eagerly picked up their chopsticks, grabbed a piece of tender and juicy roasted meat, and put it into their mouths, instantly becoming intoxicated by the wonderful taste.

Accompanied by laughter and joyous sounds, everyone fully enjoyed this beautiful moment.

Everyone sat on the ground, holding wine cups, chatting about interesting things in their lives.

However, in this joyous atmosphere, a cunning glint flashed in Xin Mulan's eyes as she watched Linglong, who was sneaking around, preparing to steal a drink, with a half-smile.

She suddenly spoke: "Linglong, it seems there's not enough food, hurry up and catch some food!"

Linglong looked at the mountain of food in front of her with confusion, shaking her head to show she didn't understand.

Xin Mulan leisurely took a sip of wine, a playful smile on her face, and teased: "Hmph, you've been secretly eating non-stop before, and Young Miss hasn't settled the score with you yet!"

With that, she deliberately shook the wine cup in her hand, causing Linglong's gaze to fall directly on the fine wine.

Linglong's eyes instantly lit up, as if ignited, and she nodded without hesitation.

Her gaze involuntarily turned to the vast and boundless sea, and she secretly resolved in her heart that she must catch enough Yao Beasts so that she could enjoy the mellow and delicious wine!

Immediately after, Linglong stood up without hesitation, her figure agile as a swallow, and resolutely jumped into the sea, instantly disappearing beneath the surging waves.

Her nimble figure, like a fish in the water, quickly swam into the deep sea, searching for Yao Beasts that could be used as food.

At this moment, the sun hung high in the sky, and a Yao Beast was leisurely basking in the beautiful sunlight in a quiet corner.

It closed its eyes slightly, feeling the pleasant sensation of the breeze caressing its body, and couldn't help but sigh in its heart: "The weather today is truly wonderful! It's just that the sun is a little strong, making my skin a bit dry."

After speaking, the Yao Beast gently waved its nimble claws, scooped up some clear water droplets from the surrounding water source, and then evenly sprinkled them over its body, allowing the cool water to moisturize every inch of its skin.

This simple yet comfortable enjoyment made it feel incredibly satisfied.

Linglong found her food target, and she immediately became excited, carefully and quietly approaching the octopus, then, with lightning speed, she suddenly and unexpectedly grabbed it!

"Look! I caught a super big octopus!"

Linglong swam back to shore triumphantly, happily showing everyone her trophy.

However, the moment the large octopus landed, it was startled and simultaneously sprayed a large amount of ink-black liquid at everyone.

This sudden change plunged everyone present into chaos.

Some hurried to clean up the large octopus, some frantically tried to protect the food from ink contamination, and others quickly moved to help clean the scene.

A moment later, after a busy period, the scene finally returned to calm.

The large octopus had already become a delicious dish on the cutting board, and everyone sat down again, openly discussing Linglong's deeds.

"Hmph, this Linglong, she's grown so much flesh for nothing, her brain hasn't grown at all," Xin Mulan said with a teasing tone.

"Haha, Linglong, this time you've really hit a soft spot!" Old Qin's voice carried a gloating laugh.

"I think you'd better reflect on yourself; you almost made all of us go hungry!" Qin Zhe echoed indignantly.

"Look how well-behaved and sensible Big Yellow and Little Fox are, and then look at you... sigh!" Xin Mulan shook her head helplessly.

"Since you made a mistake, you won't be drinking or eating meat today. Consider it a lesson, haha~"

Everyone spoke one after another, making Linglong hang her head, her face full of shame.

She also understood in her heart that she had indeed caused great trouble this time, almost making everyone go hungry.

At this moment, facing everyone's accusations, Linglong was both regretful and sad, but with the aroma emanating from the delicious food, Linglong's repentant heart had long since drifted away to who knows where.

At the same time, the poor Linglong could only be watched by Big Yellow and Little Fox, gazing longingly at the tempting octopus meat, tears welling up in her eyes, her small mouth pouting, yet unable to taste this rare delicacy.

What made Linglong even more angry was that Big Yellow and Little Fox, who were guarding her, kept tempting her with delicious food.

Xin Mulan also used the grilled octopus leg to tease Linglong, and finally, Linglong, unable to bear it anymore, simply grabbed the wine pot and drank, quickly grabbing sea Yao Beast meat and octopus meat and eating large mouthfuls.

The final result was that Linglong got drunk, and as a Dragon, she walked with an unsteady, unrecognizing gait.

Even more so, the drunken Linglong, seeing Jin Meiting and the others eating meat, protectively beat everyone present to varying degrees.

Xin Mulan shouted loudly: "Holy crap, Linglong, you actually dared to hit me! This grandma is going to eat spicy strips today...!"
