Chapter 465 - The Tragic Lan Family Elders (4)
"Hehe, I was joking." Two drops of cold sweat dripped down Leng Ruoxue's forehead. The freak was doing this again. It was really infuriating, but she just couldn't do anything to him! Alas! Was she destined to be eaten by the freak for the rest of her life?
"Xue'er, you've been in there for a long time. I missed you," the freak said softly as he hugged Leng Ruoxue's slender waist.
"I went to concoct pills!" Leng Ruoxue caressed his head like she was petting a puppy and comforted him.
"What pill did you concoct?" The freak was a little curious. In the past, Xue'er didn't mind letting him watch her concoct pills. However, she actually left him outside this time. Boohoo…
"Poison!" Leng Ruoxue said mysteriously.
"Uh! Who do you intend to poison?" the freak asked fearfully. Why did Xue'er like to concoct poison recently? This was not a good sign!
"Haha, you'll know when the time comes!" Leng Ruoxue kept him in suspense.
"Uh, as long as it's not for me, it doesn't matter who it is." The freak wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
"Hehe, freak, why are you so cute? Of course not for you," Leng Ruoxue said with a naughty smile.
"You two are so mushy. Can you take note of your image? There are underage children here!" Empty couldn't take it anymore.
"Underage children? Do you mean you?" Leng Ruoxue deliberately said angrily.
"I've been an adult for many years. It's your son!" Empty pointed at Little Fire in the freak's arms.
"Huo'er is also an adult!" Leng Ruoxue said with a smile. As the spirit of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, Huo'er had lived for countless years. However, Huo'er's mind was still that of a child!
"Mommy! Huo'er has lived for a long time!" Huo'er said with a childish tone.
"Yes. By the way, what time is it now?" Leng Ruoxue asked.
"Xue'er, it's already night outside!" the freak said as he looked at the time.
"Oh, then let's go out quickly!" Leng Ruoxue said hurriedly. Then she left the bracelet with the freak!
After exiting the bracelet, the two of them came to the living room. Leng Ruoxue found that everyone seemed to be waiting for them. The First Elder and the Third Elder were so tired that they lay directly on the ground, panting non-stop!
Uh! How much work did these two old men do? Why were they so tired? Leng Ruoxue was full of doubts and puzzlement!
"Lass, you're here!" Old Man Zao said hurriedly when he saw them enter and kept winking at them!
"Uh! Yes! We overslept!" Leng Ruoxue said shyly.
"I say, little girl! We're as tired as a dead dog, but you're actually sleeping. Boohoo… You're really too much of a bully!" Third Elder complained with a long face.
"Is it that bad? Old Man Zao, didn't I tell you to arrange some easy work for them first?" Leng Ruoxue looked at Old Man Zao accusingly.
"Lass! The work I arranged for Little Hong is already very easy. Ask him if you don't believe me. Did I ask him to do any heavy work?" Old Man Zao said aggrievedly, so anxious that he looked like he was about to cry!
"Third Elder, say whatever grievance you have! Uh! Did Old Man Zao ask you to do a new job?" Leng Ruoxue asked doubtfully.
"He… doesn't seem to have asked me to do any heavy work. I'm just running errands non-stop. My old arms and legs are about to break from running here and there!" The Third Elder carefully recalled, but he couldn't think of what he had done today. The only thing he remembered was that he had never been idle at all. He kept spinning like a top!
"Lass, did you hear that? I really didn't ask him to do any heavy work. I listened to you very well. You said to let them adapt first. How could I dare not to listen!" Old Man Zao complained with an expression that said 'you've wronged me.
"Old Man Zao, I'm sorry. The third Elder is a newbie! You have to teach him slowly!" Leng Ruoxue hurriedly apologized with a rather sincere expression on her face!
"Got it. I'll train him well. He's just too pampered and lacks training!" Old Man Zao said understandingly.
"And what happened to you, First Elder?" Leng Ruoxue turned her skeptical gaze to the First Elder after settling the Third Elder's matter.
"I… I'm very tired, I don't want to talk!" First Elder stammered. Boohoo… How tragic! He had already decided that he had to get a few Lan family members to go through thick and thin with him tomorrow!
"Alas! I really don't want to tell you that you haven't cooked dinner seeing how tired you are!" Leng Ruoxue said awkwardly.
"What? Make dinner? Why do we have to make dinner?" Third Elder couldn't help shouting. Did he hear it right? This girl actually wanted them to make dinner. How could they know how to cook!
"Because you are our servants! So dinner is of course your job!" Leng Ruoxue said matter-of-factly.
"Aren't you staying in the inn now? You don't need us to cook at all!" Third Elder hurriedly said.
"In the past, it was because we didn't have anyone to serve us! Now that we have servants, who will still eat in the inn! Why don't you know how to save money!" Leng Ruoxue couldn't help criticizing. They might not spend money staying here, but they had to pay for their meals themselves.
"Uh!" Third Elder rolled his eyes in anger. 'Little girl, you're too stingy to even to save this small sum of money! You've already taken a lot of money from our Lan family!'
"Little girl! I'm impressed. How about this? In the future, you can have free food and lodging in all the guest shops of the Lan family, okay? Don't make us cook dinner anymore. We really can't take it anymore!" The First Elder begged. He was very sure now that these people were messing with them in different ways! Alas! He knew that he was still considered polite to them and had never offended them! How could they bully him like this! Boohoo…
"Really? Do the words of the First Elder count? Don't you need to discuss this with your Patriarch and the Elder Consortium? Do you have any evidence?" Leng Ruoxue asked uncertainly.
"Yes, I can decide.. Ask the Third Elder if you don't believe me!" The First Elder also dragged the Third Elder into the water.
