Chapter 634: Who Dares to Fight Over Food with Sheng Xuan's Dad
"Zhao Qingtian, let Natasha come over," Xiao Xiangruo said.
"Yes," Zhao Qingtian responded.
However, before he could notify Tang Rao, Natasha appeared out of nowhere, right at the place she had vanished earlier.
"Ah!!" After she appeared, Natasha screamed in shock.
She had just been in a folded four-dimensional space, where she could see and hear everything happening outside, while those outside couldn't detect her presence at all, not even the force of the battles reached her—it was like having a God's-eye view.
"President!" The next moment, Natasha looked at Xiao Xiangruo.
"Are you okay?" Xiao Xiangruo nodded at Natasha.
"I'm fine..." Natasha shook her head.
"Starting today, you are the Grand Chairman of the Soul Capture Pavilion," Xiao Xiangruo declared.
There wasn't much surprise on Natasha's face because she had heard everything.
"President, this... I feel that my strength is not quite sufficient..." Natasha said.
"Giant Merchant Star is all about doing business, and your ability to make money is definitely enough!" Xiao Xiangruo gave Natasha a look. Don't think I'm oblivious just because I don't handle affairs. You thought you could hide the fact that you're selling Super Technology Weapons to Giant Merchant Star and making a profit?
However, Xiao Xiangruo didn't find anything inappropriate about Natasha's actions. It's not like Natasha's Super Technology Weapons were obtained for free; making money from them is as it should be.
Besides, it's always better for your own people to make money rather than outsiders.
"President..."
"No need to say more, it's decided, just like that. If anyone feels unsatisfied, they can come to me. I promise no killing," Xiao Xiangruo said.
Everyone: "..."
With you saying it like that, who would dare to object.
Moreover, even if we wanted to find you, we couldn't. Who knows where you might be...
"Alright, that's settled, Natasha, come with me," Xiao Xiangruo said, and then she turned and walked away.
Natasha immediately followed.
On the streets of Giant Merchant Star, Xiao Xiangruo and Natasha walked side by side.
"Hehe, Sha Sha, wasn't I awesome just now?" With no one else around, Xiao Xiangruo suddenly dropped all pretense. Of course, she was never serious to begin with.
"You're the best, okay?" Natasha replied helplessly, only able to nod in agreement.
Speaking of which, she and Xiao Xiangruo got along quite well, and there was no formality between them privately. They called each other by name, almost like close girlfriends.
"Of course!" Xiao Xiangruo's pride was evident. "But speaking of which, where did you get those Super Technology Weapons from? They seem pretty good, come on, spill it, don't hold out on me."
Natasha didn't hide anything and briefly talked about Xiao Hei's situation.
"Wow, Sha Sha, you've even got yourself a pretty boy. Didn't see that coming; you're quite wild!" Xiao Xiangruo slung an arm around Natasha's shoulders, an impish grin on her face.
"What pretty boy, talk properly," Natasha rolled her eyes.
"Nonsense! Come on, take me to see him. You've made this pretty boy sound like he can do everything, I really want to see for myself," Xiao Xiangruo said.
"Alright then," Natasha had no choice but to take Xiao Xiangruo to her courtyard.
Xiao Xiangruo was persistent, and Natasha knew she wouldn't give up until she saw for herself.
As for Tang Rao and Li Shengxuan, they had already returned to the courtyard.
As soon as they were back, Tang Rao set up a barbecue grill, then brought out all kinds of food materials—chicken wings, grilled pomfret, roasted eggplants, a dazzling array of abundant delicacies.
Li Shengxuan squatted to one side, watching with saliva nearly dripping from her mouth.
"Sheng Xuan, don't let your drool fall to the ground," Tang Rao called out.
"Xiao Hei, are you grilling so much to reward me?" Li Shengxuan asked.
"We're having visitors, so I'm grilling extra," Tang Rao said.
Li Shengxuan looked unhappy, thinking which vixen dared to come and compete with Sheng Xuan for food!
In just a few minutes, Xiao Xiangruo and Natasha returned.
"Damn, what's this smell? So fragrant!" Xiao Xiangruo exclaimed as she entered, then dashed in.
Xiao Xiangruo's face was still veiled at the moment, and Tang Rao still hadn't seen what she looked like.
"Are you Xiao Hei?" asked Xiao Xiangruo.
"Who the hell are you?" Tang Rao pretended not to recognize Xiao Xiangruo and directly shot back a question.
"I want to taste your cooking!" shouted Xiao Xiangruo.
"Private gathering, please go back where you came from, otherwise I'll have Sheng Xuan bite you!" Tang Rao said.
Li Shengxuan immediately stood up, glaring fiercely at Xiao Xiangruo.
"Hahaha! This is fun!" Xiao Xiangruo was not angered at all, indeed, just like Natasha said, this Xiao Hei is hilarious.
"Xiao Hei, this is my friend." Natasha had also come in by now and pointed at Xiao Xiangruo.
"Ah, the boss's friend, yeah, come on, beautiful lady, please take a seat." Tang Rao immediately changed his demeanor, smiling flamboyantly.
Watching Tang Rao's magical face-changing skill, Xiao Xiangruo laughed again like a maniac.
Li Shengxuan rolled her eyes on the side, this woman is simply nuts, laughing so loudly, as if having a loud voice is something to boast about.
"Take a seat first." Natasha gestured for Li Shengxuan to sit down.
"Xiao Hei, where's the beer?" asked Natasha.
"Coming right up." Tang Rao shouted, directly taking out five pints of beer from the Space Ring, "Drink up, I'm in a good mood today, plenty to go around."
Natasha didn't stand on ceremony with Tang Rao; she tore open the packaging, grabbed a bottle, popped it open, and guzzled it down.
"Refreshing!" After downing an entire bottle of beer, Natasha finally took a long breath, her eyes squinting, savoring the refreshing moment.
Xiao Xiangruo looked at Natasha, then at the beers on the table, and also imitated Natasha, picked up a bottle, opened it, and chugged it down.
After finishing a bottle, Xiao Xiangruo's eyes bulged.
Without a word, she grabbed another bottle and started drinking with loud gulps.
"I can't believe I've never drunk this kind of alcohol, it's chilled, so thrilling!" After downing three bottles, Xiao Xiangruo finally spoke.
And at this point, she had also taken off her veil, looking quite ordinary, somewhat mismatched with her graceful figure.
But Tang Rao didn't mind; maybe she had some Illusion Technique on her face or something.
In the Nine Realms of the Seventy-two Domains, it's quite normal to have a fake face, with all the fighting and killing. Using one's real face and often being targeted for revenge is annoying to death.
"Come on, eat to your heart's content." By now, Tang Rao had brought up the barbecue, the aroma was enticing.
Natasha and Li Shengxuan didn't hold back at all, grabbing and eating, taking a drink of beer after a few bites, thoroughly enjoying themselves.
Xiao Xiangruo glanced briefly and began to follow the two's eating style and started feasting heartily.
…
After the meal, Xiao Xiangruo was truly convinced, this damn thing is what delicious means.
The spicy barbecue paired with the refreshing beer was simply unmatched!
"Sha Sha, just give Xiao Hei to me!" After eating and drinking her fill, Xiao Xiangruo called out to Natasha.
"No way!" Natasha and Li Shengxuan spoke up simultaneously.
Li Shengxuan was already starting to like Xiao Xiangruo a bit, given that she was generous with drinking, and had just clinked glasses with her several times. But upon hearing her request for Tang Rao, Li Shengxuan got irked again.
What's with this vixen? Stuffed and now you even want the person; have you no shame?
"Xiao Hei, I'll give you ten billion Spirit Stones a year!" Xiao Xiangruo shouted at Tang Rao.
"Sorry, boss, but I only acknowledge Natasha." Tang Rao waved his hand, ten billion Spirit Stones mean nothing; if there's anything Xiao Hei dad is not short of, it's Spirit Stones.
Forget ten billion, even a hundred billion, a trillion, I wouldn't consider.
Of course, if you give me a few tens of trillions, then I'd definitely sell my soul.
"Oh really..." Xiao Xiangruo muttered, "What if I forcefully take you away?" Suddenly, Xiao Xiangruo's voice turned somewhat cold, even carrying a hint of a murderous intent.
