I sold grilled fish in the 70s!

What are you doing? Why are you covering the black girl's mouth with your hand? Do you know that what you're doing will kill her?

After saying this, Xia Di slapped the man in black's arm hard. The man in black, feeling the pain, immediately and gently placed the woman on the floor.

At this point, Emperor Xia didn't care about anything else! So he took out the human skin mask he had made in advance from his pocket and put it on his head.

My little darling, why are you barking so anxiously today? Is it because of the new environment? Wait, I've been bringing you to the Shenglong Hotel before!

Mu Long had originally planned to have a contest with his elder brother to skewer hawthorns, but Xiao Furong, who had been sleeping in Yuqin's arms, suddenly woke up. Not only that, she kept meowing towards the kitchen.

No matter how Yuqin tried to coax Xiao Furong, she wouldn't quiet down again. Xiao Furong's unusual behavior caught Mulong's attention. Mulong wondered if there was someone with ill intentions lurking in the kitchen.

Ever since the blood test incident, Mu Long has noticed that Xiao Furong is very sensitive to the presence of bad people. Whenever a bad person appears around him, Xiao Furong will meow incessantly in the direction where the bad person is hiding.

And it was always accurate! There had never been a single mistake! Thinking of this, Mu Long immediately hugged Xiao Furong into his arms.

Sweetie! Shall we go see what's in the kitchen? Can you tell me why you keep meowing at the kitchen?

Haha! Uncle, maybe our little glutton is hungry again? That's why he's meowing so much!

I just fed my little darling milk! How could he be hungry again? My little darling isn't some big eater.

"It's alright! Let's go to the kitchen and see what good food we have!" Mu Long said to Yu Qin as they slowly approached the kitchen.

When Mu Long and Xiao Furong arrived at the kitchen, they saw their head steward sitting on a low stool, starting a fire.

Why did you suddenly come to the kitchen, Master Long? Is there something you need me to do?

Meow! Meow! Meow!

Just then, three meows rang out, and Mu Long involuntarily looked at the little Furong he was holding in his arms. He saw a pair of sapphire-like eyes staring intently at the little Furong in Mu Long's arms.

Meow! Meow! Meow! Little Hibiscus also meowed threateningly at Blackie a few times.

Just as Blackie was about to pounce on Little Hibiscus, she was pulled into her master's arms.

Niu Niu, be a good girl! Don't throw a tantrum here! Otherwise, I won't bring you here next time.

Manager Yin, when did you start keeping kittens like me? But why is yours a black cat? Don't people always say that keeping a black cat is unlucky?

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xia chuckled inwardly, "Heh! Do you even know how to talk? What business is it of yours if I like keeping black cats!"

My precious daughter has some issues with her eyesight; how could she have fallen for this silly-looking boy?

What's wrong? My dear manager, why are you suddenly so gloomy? Is it because I just said something about your cat?

Master Long, I think you're really funny sometimes! Do you often joke around with us servants?

Mu Long frowned upon hearing what Steward Yi said, thinking that Steward Yi was acting a little strange today, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.

You two adorable kittens should get along well, okay? Blackie, can you stop always trying to bully the other kittens?

After hearing her master say those words, Blackie stuck out her little pink tongue and kept licking the back of Steward Yi's hand.

Haha! I really didn't realize that your little kitten, like my little hibiscus, loves to fawn over its owner.

Upon hearing Mu Long mention Xiao Furong in front of him, Xia Di couldn't help but glance at Xiao Furong, who was being held tightly in Mu Long's arms. Xiao Furong, who had been trembling with fear from Hei Niu's cries, gradually became quiet and obedient under Mu Long's patient comforting.

May I ask you something? Why did you suddenly develop a liking for kittens? I remember the rumor was that you hated all furry things.

Haha! My dear Manager Yin, don't you think it's a little strange that you asked me this question? And Manager Yin, weren't you very afraid of kittens before? Do you remember that every time you saw me carrying Little Hibiscus to the Shenglong Hotel, you would keep your distance from me?

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xia couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "No wonder he was personally chosen by my precious daughter! She saw through his scheme after only exchanging a few words with him."

It seems I'll have to be very careful around Mu Long in the days to come. But I can't help worrying: what if my precious daughter really does marry Mu Long one day, and he mistreats her? I've already asked around to find out more about Mu Long.

When she learned from others that Mu Long had just divorced her, she was furious. So she immediately sent her men to take her precious daughter home from her little house.

Steward Yi! Steward Yi! Steward Yi! Mu Long called out to Steward Yi three times because Steward Yi did not answer his question.

Ah! Boss, why are you calling me so loudly? It's not like I can't hear you! Is there something you want me to do in the kitchen?

Upon hearing this, Mu Long frowned, becoming even more certain of his suspicions: his steward, Manager Yi, had been secretly replaced.

What he couldn't understand was why those people wanted to attack his loyal butler, Steward Yi. Looking at the man standing in front of him, Mu Long couldn't find any flaws to prove that he wasn't the Steward Yi he trusted most.

Meow! Meow! The previously quiet and well-behaved black girl meowed a few times at Mu Long.

Mu Long then came to his senses. "Oh! You can start the fire and boil the syrup now. I think my elder brother and the others have already skewered all the hawthorns by now!"

After saying this to Emperor Xia, Mu Long turned and left with Xiao Furong in his arms. When Mu Long reappeared in front of everyone, they had already strung up the entire basket of hawthorns.

Haha! Little brother, why did you stay in the kitchen for so long?

Hey! Do you even need to ask? Uncle suddenly went into the kitchen because he didn't want to help skewer the hawthorns!

Sister-in-law, you're absolutely right! Uncle, could you help us eat candied hawthorns later? That would be wonderful!

Little Fatty, your wound has already healed? Can I take a look at your wound?
