118: Chapter 118: Get well prepared, brother!

At this moment, Fang Xun was having a thrilling battle with the Hilichurls on the Teyvat continent.

"Hey hey hey hey hey, stop fighting, stop fighting, stop fighting!!!"

"Damn it!"

Watching the figure of Huang Mao dissipate on the screen, the controller in Fang Xun's hand fell limply onto the sofa.

As expected, only gala game was his world.

No, the feel of the controller is too poor; if he used a keyboard and mouse, he could definitely dominate!

Just as Fang Xun was hesitating about whether to start over, his phone rang.

Doo doo da doo doo da.

Hearing that ringtone, Fang Xun quickly answered the call.

"What's up, sis?"

The call was naturally from Jiang Qin.

"Brother, Xiao Tang asked you to come drive later, the car we used when we arrived. Xiao Tang has already set the destination. Just get in, and it will drive over by itself."

"Wait, where did you guys go?" Fang Xun was shocked. Why the sudden change of venue?

"We're at Xiao Tang's place. We're still picking out clothes. Xiao Tang said for Brother to go over first. We'll all head over together later."

"Okay, what time are you leaving?"

"Brother, a little after six is fine. Brother can play in my room a bit longer~"

Evidently, Tang Xiaotang had leaned in.

Fang Xun could even hear Jiang Qin making a soft humming sound over the phone.

"Alright, got it. You guys keep at it, I'll head over in a bit."

After hearing Fang Xun's response, Jiang Qin hummed once and hung up the phone.

Fang Xun checked the time; it was still early, so he exited Teyvat and played a few rounds of Tavern Brawls.

"Good heavens, so smooth?

The electricity meter.

The Art of Reversal!"

...

...

"Xiao Tang, do we really have to go?" After hanging up, Jiang Qin looked troubled at the clothes Tang Xiaotang handed her.

Before, when she cosplayed with Tang Xiaotang, she felt it was just for a comic convention and didn't have much psychological pressure.

But just now, she learned that what was simply called 'grabbing a bite to eat' had escalated into some kind of 'banquet'.

Good heavens, Jiang Qin had only heard of such things on television.

"Oh, we can just find a spot and sit down when we get there. Anyway, the main character is my dad, not us."

"What if we get them dirty?" Shen Yue's worry was much simpler. When playing outside, they only walked around, so there was little chance of getting clothes dirty.

But eating was harder to guarantee.

She was more worried about staining the clothes.

"Hehe, if Yue Yue gets her clothes dirty~~~" Tang Xiaotang looked at Shen Yue's worried expression, deliberately drawing out the sound to watch Shen Yue's reaction.

Only when she saw Shen Yue looking pitiful and not daring to touch the clothes did she say again,

"Then Yue Yue will have to wash them clean herself. Once these clothes are chosen, I'll give them to you. I've never worn them, and it’s a waste just keeping them here."

"What!" Shen Yue was greatly shocked, clearly unable to comprehend the world of the wealthy.

"The jewelry and stuff here too," Tang Xiaotang said, casually pulling out a bracelet from the jewelry box.

"Qin Qin, look how pretty this bracelet is! Wear it, wear it."

"Hey, Yue Yue, you wear one too. I think this necklace really suits you."

"Lian Lian, you take one too. You're usually quiet, and today you're even quieter."

From the beginning, Tang Xiaotang felt Qi Lian was a bit off today, somewhat absent-minded.

Tang Xiaotang looked at her reserved sisters and could only recommend items to them one by one.

The three girls had distinct charms, and Tang Xiaotang felt like she was playing a real-life 'Nikki'.

What joy!

After Tang Xiaotang had her fun, it was almost time.

"Let's go, the car is waiting for us. Let's go give Brother a surprise!"

Saying that, Tang Xiaotang led the girls out of the private dressing room.

If Tang Xiaotang hadn't said this was her dressing room, Jiang Qin and the others would have thought they had walked into some kind of clothing exhibition hall.

It was fortunate that everyone's body types were roughly similar, with only slight differences in height; otherwise, getting clothes ready for all the girls would have been quite difficult.

After they came out, the car was indeed ready.

It was the RV from before. If they had taken the Dingqiao S8000, the girls' carefully done outfits might have gotten messy.

Moreover, a makeup artist was already waiting in the RV.

Besides essential cleaning, Tang Xiaotang disliked having others enter her personal spaces.

Otherwise, the makeup artist should have been applying makeup to the girls while they were in the dressing room.

"Young Miss, please."

It was the same burly man in black from before.

"Uncle Wang, thank you for your trouble."

Xiao Tang greeted him and led the sisters onto the vehicle.

On the other side, Fang Xun looked at the time and was already in the Dingqiao S8000.

This luxury sedan was currently heading toward the location set by Tang Xiaotang.

After Fang Xun carefully examined the car's interior and successfully retrieved a chilled can of Pepsi from the onboard refrigerator, he praised the vehicle even more highly.

"Great car!"

Getting out of the car, Fang Xun saw a person dressed in a waiter's uniform standing by the door.

"Mr. Fang, hello. Miss Tang sent me to greet you."

"She arranged everything this well?" Fang Xun was astonished.

"Where to?"

"To the banquet hall. Please follow me."

Not long after, the waiter led Fang Xun to a huge, luxurious-looking banquet hall.

"Miss Tang said you should wait here for a moment and can order anything you like. She and her friends will arrive shortly."

With that, the waiter bowed respectfully to Fang Xun and slowly retreated.

"Tsk, they've even learned all that capitalist stuff. We're supposed to be equal, aren't we?"

Fang Xun shook his head, casually found a spot to sit, and drank the ice-cold cola he hadn't finished.

After sitting down, Fang Xun looked around the banquet hall.

He didn't know that such a luxurious place existed in this poor place called Dongcheng City.

At this time, quite a few people had already arrived in the banquet hall. These people stood around in small groups, chatting about who knows what.

Hey, you know what, he truly didn't recognize a single one of them.

For the first time, Fang Xun felt a sense of isolation.

"Hey, buddy, buddy."

Suddenly, a young man who looked boisterous and had dyed yellow hair plopped down right in front of Fang Xun.

"You look unfamiliar, buddy. Which Family are you from?" Huang Mao slicked back his hair and aggressively jutted his chin out at Fang Xun.

Fang Xun focused on the Huang Mao in front of him and quickly conducted a deep self-assessment.

That gesture really did resemble a 'spiritual youth' [slang for a flashy, somewhat unsophisticated young man]...

"Hey, hey, brother, don't just look at me. I'm from the Huang Family, Huang Mao. Which Family are you from?"

"From the Fang Family, Fang Xun?" Fang Xun looked at Brother Huang, falling into thought. Was this a case of the name matching the person?

"Fang Family?" Huang Mao pondered for a moment.

He was certain there was no major Family named Fang in Dongcheng City, so he realized that the brother in front of him probably came from a background similar to his own.

"So it's Brother Fang." Huang Mao moved his stool a bit closer to Fang Xun's side.

"Is Brother also here to try your luck?" Huang Mao whispered in Fang Xun's ear.

"What luck?" Fang Xun blinked.

"Hmph." Huang Mao immediately gave him a look that suggested, 'Stop pretending.'

"The Tang Family's only daughter, Tang Xiaotang, will be here today too. Doesn't Brother want to try and get to know her?"

Fang Xun: "Huh?"

"Hehe." Huang Mao raised an eyebrow.

"I've made full preparations, brother."
