I don't want to come up with a funny book title anymore.

"My name is Li Yizhou. May I ask what your given name is...?"

"I..." Xie Fengnan was about to answer when he was interrupted.

"Hey—how dare you admit it! You don't even have Golden Eyes, yet you claim to be? If you're going to swindle someone, at least be a little more professional, okay?!"

Xie Fengnan, though inwardly dramatic, calmly looked towards the source of the sound.

(Hahahaha, Xia! Here it comes! This plot twist!)

"I knew I shouldn't have let you come to help them." Even the usually aloof system couldn't stand it.

Xie Fengnan didn't become like this voluntarily, these despicable humans.

Moreover, no matter what, Xie Fengnan had just helped them, yet he immediately turned his back on them.

(Oh well, it doesn't matter at all.)

Xie Fengnan was multitasking, talking to the system about the plot's laws on one hand, and on the other hand, saying something in an innocent tone.

"Oh—I didn't ask you to believe me."

"You! You really are a fake! You're not Marshal Xie's brother at all!"

The boy glared angrily at Xie Fengnan.

"You can't even pretend properly! How could the Xie family have someone like you!"

"Then why don't you have Marshal Xie expose this fraud?"

Xie Fengnan replied casually, "It's impossible to try to prove yourself by letting emotions get the better of you."

"Chen Xuan, stop causing trouble here." Li Yizhou frowned as he looked at the boy who had come out to cause trouble.

Then he turned to Xie Fengnan and said, "I'm sorry, it was my fault for not disciplining him properly. I hope you can forgive me."

Xie Fengnan glanced at the two of them leisurely, "I don't care, I don't care. How could I dare to care?"

"You all seem quite busy, so I won't bother you any longer."

"This... please make yourself at home." Li Yizhou didn't say anything more.

Xie Fengnan called Xiaoxue and Xiaoxi back, and gave them a meaningful look before leaving.

As Xie Fengnan walked along the planned route, he was still pondering what had just happened.

Clearly, the boy was just pushed out to be a hired gun.

If Li Yizhou was unaware of the situation, he should have stopped him at the very first sentence, instead of having Xie Xinghe expose the fraud before apologizing and ending the conversation.

Although Xie Fengnan didn't know Li Yizhou's true thoughts or what Xie Xinghe had actually said, it was none of his business anymore.

After all, he doesn't have a saintly heart.

Although Xie Fengnan's actions weren't entirely for their sake, the group's attitude made him very unhappy.

The group Huang Yong brought were cut from the same cloth as him. Even if Li Yizhou and his men wouldn't be wiped out, at least some casualties would be inevitable.

Xie Fengnan was a little angry that they still acted that way after he helped them.

Despite his anger, Xie Fengnan lay back down and stroked the fluffy fur again; it was still more comfortable to just lie around doing nothing.

Xie Fengnan originally planned to go find Xie Xinghe first, but after encountering this incident, he turned around and went to find Xie Xingmo instead.

After all, people who occasionally throw a tantrum are the ones who get favored.

Moreover, he also needed to confirm Xie Xinghe's attitude towards him.

"It feels like there's never enough work to do!"

Xie Fengnan exclaimed, "Not only have we finished it, but we're actually doing more and more!"

"If Brother Xie doesn't want to do it, Xiao Xi and I will do it for you."

Xiaoxue naturally picked up on that statement.

"Xiaoxue is so sensible, I'm so touched—"

Xie Fengnan sat up. "I'll treat you to a big meal as a reward."

What is a "feast"?

"It's delicious."

"Is it a aptitude pill?!" Xiaoxue excitedly turned around and looked at Xie Fengnan.

"Does that stuff taste good?" Xie Fengnan wondered, as he had never tried it and didn't know.

"It was delicious! So we couldn't resist eating it all yesterday..."

Xiaoxue originally wanted to eat one to try it out and see the effect.

I have to say the taste was pretty good, and the effect was also very noticeable, so I couldn't resist sharing it with Xiaoxi and showing it off.

Xie Fengnan thought for a moment and took out another kind of pill from his spatial storage.

"Do you like this kind?"

Xiaoxue took a sniff and then ate it in one gulp, exclaiming, "This is delicious too!"

Xiao Xi didn't show off; she put the item into the space bell that Xie Fengnan had prepared for her.

"Ah, you don't like it?" Xie Fengnan noticed Xiao Xi's actions.

"There's no such thing as disliking it. Xiaoxue likes it, so we'll keep it for her."

Xie Fengnan felt like he'd been shown up in a rage. He's still a kid, and he already knows how to spoil his wife!?

Damn it, I really want to know how Xiaoxue takes care of her husband. I'm so curious, so very curious.

"There are still many left. You can eat them as snacks. There's no need to save them."

Xie Fengnan gave him a big bag right away, you know, one of those snakeskin bags.

"Thank you, Master!" Xiaoxue and Xiaoxi happily accepted the gifts.

In their world, there is no concept of politeness or refusal. Since Brother Xie is willing to give it, they will accept it and then perform well for Brother Xie!

Brother Xie doesn't like them calling him "master," but saying "thank you, Brother Xie" sounds too strange.

Ugh, why does Brother Xie have the surname Xie?

(Now I finally understand why so many people love keeping pets. They're so cute and provide so much emotional support!)

Xie Fengnan was charmed by how adorable the two of them were, sharing the snacks.

Then we started preparing a big meal—Four Happiness Meatballs, Braised Pig's Trotters, and Squirrel Fish were today's menu!

After thinking about it, I decided to add a vegetable dish and make an egg drop soup.

P.S.: The ingredients in this interstellar setting are definitely different from those in our reality, but I can only name the dishes.

Xiaoxue and Xiaoxi looked curiously at the dishes Xie Fengnan brought out; they smelled delicious and looked delicious too.

"Let's eat!"

Xie Fengnan was about to show off.
