2998 Reflex…

“Eh? You folks!” Liang Qingqing gazed at the group of people seated in front of the grill and couldn’t help but express her surprise.

They had already prepared the food and set it on the grill. But as soon as they left to see their Little Junior Sister, it seemed that everyone had vacated the area.

Upon their return to their original spot, they found someone shamelessly occupying their place and openly indulging in their food.

This was an extraordinarily unusual and unprecedented situation.

Wei Nanfeng let out a wry chuckle and added with a touch of sarcasm, “I’ve encountered some shameless individuals in my time, but never have I seen anyone quite so audacious.”

“Friends, this food doesn’t appear to belong to you. Can you truly savor it with a clear conscience?”

At that moment, there were seven or eight individuals seated by the grill. To be precise, there were seven burly men and an elegant woman donning a red veil.

The seven burly men were engrossed in devouring the food on the grill without lifting their heads.

The woman in red stood up and her eyes fixated on Wei Nanfeng. Suddenly, her eyes brightened.

“Hey there, little brother, no need to be so upset!”

Wei Nanfeng almost instinctively took cover behind the little stoic…

Glancing around, he realized that he wasn’t the only one who had reacted that way.

But the most amusing reaction came from the little stoic. She nearly instinctively extended her petite hand to shield the woman in red and exclaimed, “What are you doing?”

Mo Lian’s mouth twitched as he lamented internally: Where on earth did this bunch of rascals pick up such an absurd habit? Whenever they encountered a troublesome woman, they instinctively sought refuge behind his wife. It was utterly exasperating!

The woman in red appeared taken aback, appraising the little stoic from head to toe before laughing, “Little sister, you’re not asking for trouble, are you? Kindly step aside. Don’t obstruct me from conversing with these fine gentlemen.”

As he spoke, he turned around and noticed the arrival of the Qin Family’s Young Sirs, as well as Ming Asi and his companions.

The woman’s eyes noticeably brightened as she turned and approached Eldest Young Sir Qin.

Eldest Young Sir quickly rushed over to Qiao Mu, pleading, “Stoic face, save me!”

“Oh, please! Who wants your life?” The woman in red silently criticized, her eyes sweeping over the group. “Oh, you’re all together?”

“Who are you?” Qiao Mu asked, sizing her up.

At that moment, Holy Son Miyan approached upon hearing the commotion and introduced both groups. “They’re students from the Royal Academy.”

Then, he turned to Qiao Mu and added, “This is the Dafeng Tribe’s Veil Queen.”

“Oh,” the little stoic replied apathetically, then glanced at the seven burly men who had stood up and followed Queen Rosa.

All seven of them wore the same haughty expressions.

Liang Qingqing couldn’t help but frown. “Your subordinates ate our food. We need compensation!”

The Veil Queen raised her delicate eyebrows and offered a flirtatious smile. “Little sister is absolutely right. Since we ate your food, it’s only fair that we pay for it.”

With that, she produced a pouch of money from her waist, counted out a thousand spirit currency, and extended it with both hands.

However, Liang Qingqing merely glanced at it with a wry smile and refrained from accepting it. “Considering you’re the leader of the tribe, you must have a sense of the value.”

“The food we had on the grill is worth at least eight thousand spirit currency, if not ten thousand. Are you treating us like paupers?”

The Veil Queen was momentarily taken aback before she chuckled. “Ah, it appears I’ve encountered a group of individuals offering their goods at a discount.”

“Don’t assume I’m afraid of you just because you have more people!”

Liang Qingqing arched an eyebrow. “Why? You’re the leader of a tribe. Are you attempting to take someone’s food without admitting it?”

“Little girl, let’s not be overly confrontational,” Veil chuckled, raising a hand to cover her lips. “When we first arrived, there was no one present at the grill. How can you prove that the food was left behind by you?”

“You!” Liang Qingqing seethed with anger. But after a moment’s thought, she realized there was indeed no concrete evidence to prove that all the meat and bird food on the grill belonged to them.

Qi Xuanxuan gently tugged at the little stoic’s sleeve and whispered, “Qiaoqiao, are these the friends who waited for you at the city gate when you first arrived in Shuntian Prefecture?”

Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao nodded.

Qi Xuanxuan beamed. “Well, today is certainly an unexpected reunion.”

Liang Qingqing and the others were also eyeing Qi Xuanxuan and her companions with curiosity.

It wasn’t the right moment for formal introductions. As Liang Qingqing was engaged in negotiations with the self-proclaimed queen, she exchanged a smile with Qi Xuanxuan and offered a nod of greeting.

“Since we can’t provide proof…”

“Who said there’s no way to prove it?” Qiao Mu responded dispassionately.

“Oh?” Veil Queen smiled. “How do you suggest we prove it?”

Before she could finish her inquiry, a series of thuds echoed behind her, and she tumbled to the ground.

What had just transpired?

The seven robust baron subordinates who had been perfectly fine moments ago were now lying on the ground, their heads tilted, limbs twitching slightly, and froth at their mouths.

This was unmistakably a sign of poisoning!

With a swift turn, the Veil Queen fixed an intense glare on Qiao Mu and sternly questioned, “You poisoned them?”

Qiao Mu serenely nodded her petite head. “To prevent any secret consumption, we applied poison to our food in advance.”

Mo Lian and Duan Yue couldn’t help but hold back their laughter…

The others were equally dumbfounded!

What kind of logic was this?

To thwart covert consumption by others, how could they be so ruthless toward themselves…

The Veil Queen’s eyes nearly bulged out of her sockets. “Young lady, is this really necessary?”

The young lady nodded earnestly. “A detoxification pill costs 100,000 spirit currency each. Seven of them would add up to a savings of 680,000 spirit currency!”

Everyone: …

“Hahahahahaha!” Liang Qingqing was in high spirits, breaking into hearty laughter.

‘Oh my goodness!’

Their little stoic was simply hilarious!

Previously, they had only demanded 18,000 spirit currency for food.

But when it came to the stoic figure, the absurd price was 680,000…

Hahahahaha!

Judging by the fiery look in the Veil Queen’s eyes, everyone could well imagine how dark her expression must be under the veil.

At that moment, Holy Son Miyan surprisingly found himself enjoying the spectacle.

He couldn’t quite put his finger on it.

It seemed like the stoic figure was genuinely enjoying herself while berating others. What had come over her?

It appeared to be a rather unusual mood.

For instance, he had grown accustomed to being scolded by the seemingly impassive stoic face. One day, he might realize that sitting back and witnessing the drama unfold, all the while sporting a smirk, as the stoic figure berated others, was quite satisfying!

Holy Son Miyan furrowed his brow slightly, feeling an inexplicable sense of concern that he might have acquired a peculiar habit.

“Cough, cough, cough.” Mo Lian cleared her throat and suppressed her amusement as she remarked, “Qiaoqiao, crafting detoxification pills is no easy task. Selling them for a mere 100,000 per pill might be too generous, don’t you think?”
