Chapter 269: Chapter 268 I Choose Friends

While bathing, Lu Zixun was thinking about something, which was whether he should call Xiong Kang along.

After coming out of the bathroom, Lu Zixun still decided to call Xiong Kang.

He couldn’t let his guard down just because Ming Yang’s attitude had suddenly changed today.

"Here we come."

The voice arrived before the person did, and at the very moment Li Mengling’s voice rang out, the door also opened.

Seeing Xiong Kang behind Lu Zixun, Ming Yang’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Then he smiled and asked, "Mr. Cat, why are you bringing reinforcements? Who is this?"

"Hello, I’m Xiong Kang, a friend of Da Ju."

Stepping forward and extending his right hand, Xiong Kang introduced himself.

"Ming Yang."

Shaking hands lightly and letting go, Ming Yang stepped aside to make way, gesturing for them to come in: "We were just talking about why Mr. Cat hadn’t arrived yet. Come on in."

At this moment, there was a large table set up in the middle of the hotel.

One couldn’t tell where Ming Yang and his friends had gotten it from, and after looking around, Li Mengling was nowhere to be seen.

With narrowed eyes, Lu Zixun asked, "Where did Lemon go? I don’t see him."

"He just went out; he’s probably gone to the hotel kitchen."

Dressed in slippers and holding a cup in hand, Li Mengling walked out of the kitchen. Upon seeing Xiong Kang, she rolled her eyes indignantly: "Mr. Cat, you really brought help!"

"Can this be called helping? Kang Ning’s tolerance for alcohol isn’t even as good as mine."

Pretending not to see the disdain in Xiong Kang’s look, Lu Zixun hopped onto the sofa.

He discovered that he seemed to be sitting on the sofa without being able to see the tabletop; the height issue of a cat was indeed a serious problem.

Seemingly noticing Lu Zixun’s awkwardness, Ming Yang grabbed two cushions from the side and threw them onto the sofa: "Mr. Cat, just use these to pad under your butt."

"How do we drink?"

With the preparations for drinking complete, Lu Zixun looked at the alcohol on the table.

He unconsciously swallowed his saliva; wasn’t this way too much?

Just then, Xie Da, who had gone to the hotel kitchen, came back, swiping his card to enter the room. He was somewhat surprised to see Xiong Kang.

With his mouth slightly agape and just about to greet him, after catching the look Xiong Kang threw him, he immediately got the hint, nodded, and swallowed back the words he was about to say.

"Lemon, come over here."

Raising her hand and patting the spot next to her, Li Mengling excitedly said, "Today we must drink Mr. Cat under the table."

...

"Ding dong."

The service bell rang at the door, and Xie Da, his eyes slightly dazed, burped from the alcohol, stood up, and staggered toward the door.

"It must be the food that has arrived, I’ll go open the door."

At this time, Lu Zixun, lifting a paw to support his head, looked at Xiong Kang, who was going head-to-head with Ming Yang, and licked his nose, feeling somewhat disconsolate.

It turned out that Xiong Kang’s alcohol tolerance was really good; he had been faking it before.

In just an hour, they had already drunk nearly forty bottles of alcohol, two-thirds of which had gone into the stomachs of Xiong Kang and Ming Yang.

The chef, pushing the serving cart, walked in. After placing a small white table next to the dining table, he began serving the food.

The enticing scent of crayfish woke up Li Mengling, who had been drowsy and slumped over the table.

Seeing the person suddenly perking up, Lu Zixun was somewhat taken aback.

Indeed, a foodie will never forget about eating, no matter the circumstances.

"Xie Da, I want to eat; you peel them for me."

At that moment, Li Mengling, her cheeks flushed with a drunken glow, shook Xie Da’s arm, her voice carrying a hint of coquettishness.

"..."

Lu Zixun raised an eyebrow as he looked at Xie Da, muttering to himself.

He had wondered why Li Mengling kept saying she wanted to drink with him, yet she had been toasting with Xie Da all along. Now he understood.

"Ah."

After downing the drink in his cup, Ming Yang rubbed his forehead with a long sigh, "Is my approach to gaming a bit off?"

Just as Xie Da was happily peeling a lobster, Ming Yang’s gaze fell on Lu Zixun and his expression turned serious, "Mr. Cat, I want to ask you something."

"Ask away, no need to be so serious."

As he grabbed a slice of sashimi, Lu Zixun didn’t even turn his head as he responded.

"Are you... really the Swallowing Sky Cat Demon?"

Taking a deep breath, Ming Yang pursed his lips, "If not, why would you pretend to be the Swallowing Sky Cat Demon?"

Lu Zixun withdrew his hand to wipe it on a napkin, chewed a couple of bites of the sashimi and swallowed, then turned to look deeply at Ming Yang, "You really are from the Deceit God Temple."

The certainty in his voice made Ming Yang frown.

Then, thinking back on his own reaction to Lu Zixun’s performance earlier, Ming Yang released a relieved smile and admitted frankly, "Yes, I am indeed from the Deceit God Temple."

"Clang!"

As soon as Ming Yang’s words fell, Xiong Kang’s mother-child flying swords unsheathed simultaneously, glinting coldly and placed against Ming Yang’s neck.

The previously harmonious atmosphere suddenly became tense, and Li Mengling was immediately sobered.

"What’s the problem? Can’t we talk things out nicely?"

With urgency, Li Mengling looked at Xiong Kang, "Brother Xiong, can you put your sword down please?"

To this, Xiong Kang did not sheathe his sword but merely said indifferently, "People from the Deceit God Temple are here to assassinate Da Ju."

Assassination...

Her gaze shifting between the silent Ming Yang and the icy-eyed Lu Zixun, Li Mengling fell silent.

Biting her lower lip, she said, "But Beef Steak hasn’t done anything excessive to Mr. Cat."

"That he hasn’t now doesn’t mean he won’t later."

Xiong Kang had just finished speaking.

Ming Yang just smiled, looking unwaveringly at Lu Zixun, "Mr. Cat, I just wanted to ask for a reason. If you are the Swallowing Sky Cat Demon, then this matter can be easily resolved."

"If not... I will leave the Deceit God Temple and help you."

"Ding—-Detecting frankness level from Ming Yang +10000."

Narrowing his eyes at Ming Yang, Lu Zixun remained silent.

"Indeed, I know this might sound unreliable, I’ve seen ’Infernal Affairs’ myself," Ming Yang quipped and tapped his finger lightly on the table, "But I’m someone who sides with my friends. I would choose them over the Deceit God Temple I joined, friends whom I’ve only known for half a year but are incredibly close."

Hearing this, Lu Zixun’s eyes reflected contemplation, it seems he and Xiong Kang had guessed correctly.

The Deceit God Temple was looking for the Swallowing Sky Cat Demon.

But the true information that Lu Zixun is the Swallowing Sky Cat Demon had been replaced by someone deliberately making it look like Lu Zixun was pretending to be one.

"Watch carefully."

Lu Zixun, who had been lying on the table, stood up, and the dark red mark on his brow flickered.

Spiritual Fire suddenly appeared in the room, heating the surrounding air intensely.

"This..."

Ming Yang’s pupils contracted, he was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth lifted higher.

Eventually, he laughed, "I prided myself on being clever; if I had not chosen friends today, I would have made a huge mistake."

Drawing back the Spiritual Fire, Lu Zixun’s gaze fell on Ming Yang, "The Deceit God Temple, did they only recently order you to assassinate me?"
