Zhang San, please behave yourself!

Chapter 528: Chapter 492: Dinner Table Asura Scene!_2

Zhang San immediately invited them to sit down, and then introduced to a shocked-looking Changsun Bubai.

"This is my colleague from the Town Martial Office, also the daughter of Principal Officer Xuanwu Ximen Shuxiang, Ximen Jinxing. The four behind her are sisters of Ximen Shuxiang."

Changsun Bubai nodded slightly, his expression gleefully anticipating the debacle to unfold.

"Well, since you are distinguished guests, please sit over here!"

As the Military Commander, Changsun Bubai naturally took the seat of honor, but the most prestigious seat on his left was Zhang San’s. Originally, Hu Xingxiang would have sat next to Zhang San, but since Hu Xingxiang hadn’t returned yet, Changsun Bubai had Ximen Jinxing take the seat temporarily.

Then, Changsun Bubai silently waited for the show to start.

At that moment, Hu Xingxiang arrived with several maids carrying dishes, and she saw Ximen Jinxing.

Ximen Jinxing, seeing Hu Xingxiang was present, was also stunned.

"Aren’t you supposed to be back in the Northeast?"

Unlike Ximen Jinxing’s astonishment, Hu Xingxiang maintained her smile and said, "Sister Ximen is also here. I just returned from the Northeast to look for San Lang here."

With those words, Hu Xingxiang placed a plate of mixed stew in front of Zhang San, and then sat down next to him.

Despite having individual tables for eating, placed behind them, the width of the tables allowed both Zhang San and Hu Xingxiang to sit down comfortably.

The rough and ready soldiers might have been straightforward, but they too felt the tension and deadly serious atmosphere at that moment.

Upon hearing that Zhang San was setting up a base in the northern part of Longyun Path, Ximen Jinxing immediately had her aunt help her get transferred to the northern base at Longyun Path.

Third Miss Gan was happy to have someone look after Zhang San, so she helped Ximen Jinxing secretly arrange the transfer and did it all behind Principal Officer Ximen’s back.

By the time Ximen Shuxiang knew about it, the transfer order for Ximen Jinxing was already in effect.

Ximen Shuxiang had no choice but to ask her four younger sisters to look after Ximen Jinxing well and hoped that her daughter would succeed in chasing the man she liked without getting hurt.

But the result was, as soon as she arrived, she realized she had made so much effort to come see Zhang San but was still a step too late.

However, it didn’t matter; after all, Hu Xingxiang was just a ’Little Fox.’

In this military setting, facing so many hearty Martial Artists and war generals, she could handle interpersonal relationships far better than her.

Once all the soldiers in the camp praised her, Zhang San would naturally think better of her.

Just as Ximen Jinxing was figuring out her next moves, Hu Xingxiang stood up.

"My surname is Hu. Thank you all for taking care of San Lang in the military. I live in the Northeast, am new to cooking, and not very good at it. Please be accommodating."

The soldiers originally thought Zhang San had taken a liking to a virtuous woman.

Never did they expect she would be so beautiful!

Unbelievable!

The woman you’ve found must be a vixen, not a regular woman!

"Miss Hu, you are too polite!"

"Although it’s just one dish, it smells delicious."

"I’ve always heard that the Northeast’s dishes are generous and tasty! Today we finally get to sate our appetites!"

"Thank you, Miss Hu! Thanks, Zhang San! Then we won’t be polite!"

Ximen Jinxing felt as if she was losing a city before she was even ready to start the battle.

But it’s fine, I still have four strategists by my side.

My four aunts have been matchmaking in the Capital for years; three cobblers equal a Zhuge Liang, why can’t my four aunts match one Sister Yu?

Then Ximen Jinxing turned her head and discovered that her four aunts were busily devouring meat and stuffing rice.

"Don’t say it! This Northeastern cuisine is really good."

"This Miss Hu sure can cook a delightful dish!"

"This mutton doesn’t have any gamey taste, how did she do it?"

"Pass me another bowl of rice, or switch it to a small pot, please!"

Ximen Jinxing felt desperately forlorn.

Missing my strategist Sister Yu on her first day.

Ximen Jinxing sighed, tasted the mixed stew potatoes, and found them indeed delicious.

Should I also try learning to cook?

After all, there’s always been this saying: if you want to capture a man’s heart, start with his stomach.

To not lose to that ’Little Fox,’ should I also start learning to cook?

Right then, a maid came over to pour wine for Ximen Jinxing.

Ximen Jinxing then realized that the maid had cat ears.

"Who are you?"

"I am Baili Niezhen, the Chief Maid of Zhang San’s master. Miss Ximen is a good friend of my master, so feel free to instruct us," she declared.

Ximen Jinxing panicked and immediately followed up, "Did Baili Tu send you? How many of you came? Are all... are you all half-demons like you?"

Baili Niezhen nodded and said, "Thirteen in total."

She emphasized the last word, "people."

Back in the Half-Demon Camp, when they arranged the troops, they were always counted as mere numbers.

Even when they returned to the Capital, they dared not say thirteen people; they only dared say the number thirteen.

Now, following a master like Zhang San, they could finally lift their heads and proudly say they were thirteen people.

However, Ximen Jinxing didn’t catch the emphasis on the last word; in her heart, there was only full-blown hatred for the Baili Family Head, Baili Tu!

I damn well can’t even deal with one vixen!

And you, old man, brought me thirteen half-demons!

Did you do it on purpose?

Baili Family!

I’ve taken note of you!

The more Ximen Jinxing thought about it, the angrier she got, the angrier she got, the more she wanted to eat, and the more she ate, the more she found Northeastern cuisine to her taste, eating more and more.

Soon, Baili Niezhen came over to serve Ximen Jinxing a small pot of rice, and only then did Ximen Jinxing notice that she had unconsciously finished the previous rice.

This isn’t right!

I came here to fight with Hu Xingxiang over a man!

How come it turned into just fighting over rice now!

Ximen Jinxing glanced at her four aunts.

Three of them were already on their third pot.

Great, I can’t count on any of the four aunts; I have to rely on myself this round.

"Sister Xingxiang, did you come to the Lingwu Army this time just passing by, or are you staying temporarily?"

Ximen Jinxing had also learned her lesson and didn’t even present the option for Hu Xingxiang to stay permanently.

Hu Xingxiang was sitting obediently next to Zhang San and, bypassing him, turned her head to look at Ximen Jinxing on her left, saying with a smile, "I’ll follow San Lang’s arrangements."

Ah!!!

Ximen Jinxing felt like she had launched an attack, but it was effortlessly dissolved by the opponent, and somehow it felt like a long lance had stabbed her own heart!

"Zhang San, speaking of which, I’m here on orders to be stationed at the Town Martial Office’s northern outpost on Longyun Path. After that, I’ll be following you!" she exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, Zhang San immediately laughed, "That’s great! I need to stay in the Lingwu Army for a long time but the outpost is in Spring Breeze Town, and I was worried that I sometimes can’t take care of that place. With you there, I’m relieved."

Ximen Jinxing was dumbfounded.

Dammit, I came over for you, and now you’re in the camp, but I’m in Spring Breeze Town.

Even though I don’t know how far Spring Breeze Town is from the camp, aren’t we separated?

No way!

I need to find a way to stay in the camp.

At that moment, Hu Xingxiang spoke up, "San Lang, since Sister Ximen just arrived at Longyun Path and is unfamiliar with the place, why not have her stay with us in the camp? If there’s any issue in Spring Breeze Town, she can go there when needed."

Zhang San thought about it, everything at Spring Breeze Town was well-arranged, especially since some people from the Heavenly Punishment Sect held important positions at the outpost. It would be bad if Ximen Jinxing discovered something after going there.

"That makes sense. Ximen Jinxing, would you be able to accept staying in the camp temporarily? If so, I’ll discuss it with the Military Envoy," he said.

Changsun Bubai, while munching on meat, perked up his ears to enjoy the drama.

Even though it was a literary drama, the verbal sparring was truly thrilling!

"Yes! I’ll stay in the camp! To facilitate communication and operations of the Town Martial Office, let’s set up your tent next to Zhang San’s tent, for convenience!"

Zhang San looked puzzledly at Changsun Bubai—who had suddenly become so agreeable?

Zhang San always felt that the old man had some schemes, but he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what sly tricks he was playing.

After Changsun Bubai had spoken, he continued to eat without another word.

However, Zhang San’s side suddenly became quiet.

So, Changsun Bubai, who loved watching the excitement, lifted his head, glanced at Hu Xingxiang on the right side of Zhang San and then at Ximen Jinxing on the left, and asked, "Miss Hu, aren’t you too cramped sitting together with Zhang San? Would you like to switch to another seat?"

Hu Xingxiang smiled and shook her head, "Thank you, Uncle Changsun. I wore out my arms cooking just now, and they are sore and tender. I need someone to feed me."

Zhang San caught on and started passing dishes to Hu Xingxiang.

Changsun Bubai faintly realized that this Hu Xingxiang was quite skilled.

The young lady from the Ximen family might just lose!
