Why was I assigned to be a horse girl?

"You still know."

In the center of the living room, the Kotobuki couple stood hand in hand, looking at the equally loving Kotobuki Toru and Hisako, so moved they were almost speechless.

Finally, Shinichi Kotobuki choked out, "Okay...you two must be happy. When is the time to go and get married?"

"Mmm." Fei Tu Hu Po nodded slightly, already having a plan in mind.

The second update is coming!

Chapter 476 Other People's Daughters-in-Law Are Just So Good (Part 2)

As dusk fell, night gradually descended.

The neon lights of Sapporo's main city, like molten glaze, meander across the sky like flowing brocade, while the ovens in the courtyards spew orange-red flames, and the cedar wood crackles and pops in the charcoal fire, mingling with the cool aroma of burning resin, adding a touch of warmth to this summer night.

The dim yellow ground lights stretched along the edge of the courtyard, their glow spreading across the snow like crushed moonlight, shimmering with a hazy ambiguity.

In this relaxed atmosphere, the guests clinked glasses and chatted about recent interesting events. The most interesting thing was the gossip about Hitotsu Kohaku and Kotobuki Toru. As they chatted, they started betting on when Kotobuki Toru would announce his wedding date with Hitotsu Kohaku and invite everyone over.

However, when Fei Tu Hu Po, dressed in a scarlet phoenix robe, slowly walked out of the villa's gate, her stunning beauty and charming temperament immediately changed the topic of everyone's bet from "when to get married" to "when Fei Tu Hu Po will have a child."

It's important to understand that if the only thing that happened was to dress casually and appear to be close to Kotobuki Toru, people would naturally steer the bet towards "when to have children." After all, according to common sense and popular prejudice, wealthy families need to conduct a long evaluation process when choosing a daughter-in-law. Even if they appear to be close now, it doesn't guarantee that she will become the wife of the family in the future, let alone something as important as having children to carry on the bloodline.

Early arrivals even witnessed Kotobuki Toru personally dragging large and small suitcases into the villa. The clothes prepared by the Kotobuki family, plus the clothes that Hitoko Amber changed into in the villa, all these events combined meant that it wasn't just a simple matter of letting everyone see Kotobuki Toru's girlfriend and having them help to examine, evaluate, and comment on her.

The Kotobuki family went straight to the point and officially announced the existence of their daughter-in-law!

Add to that Hitotsu Amber's alluring charm and stunning beauty, and she's practically a man's best friend. Kotobuki Toru definitely wouldn't be able to resist her. So why bother betting on the wedding date? Just bet on when they'll have a baby, and whether it'll be a boy or a girl!

Besides the guests who made the bets, there were also some older, middle-aged guests who appeared to be married and established in their careers, who immediately took out their phones and made calls.

"Hey? Can you see this? I'm video calling you to tell you... Look at Kotobuki's kid, he's already found such a beautiful girlfriend. Last year you said you'd wait until world peace or until Kotobuki Toru found a girlfriend before you looked for one, and now look at him, his girlfriend is already wearing a wedding dress!"

"See, it actually worked after I invited you over for a free meal, didn't it? Why don't you just give up on that business administration thing... and choose a major related to horse racing trainers like Kotobuki Toru? What's that saying again? It's not that we're afraid of our kids squandering money, it's that we're afraid of them wanting to start their own businesses. I have a feeling that your 'Hoshimei Special Agent' project is going to be a huge loss. If you studied horse racing trainers, at least you wouldn't lose money..."

"Hiss, now that you mention it, does that mean the kid from the Minamisaka family has become a trainer too? I've heard recently that several horse girls are trying to steal him away. It seems that other people's kids are always more capable."

Fei Tu Hu Po tickled Qin Chui Tou's palm with her little finger. Her dignified and beautiful face remained expressionless, and her soft lips, painted with bright red nail polish, moved slightly. "Hehe, Tou Tou, this time you've become the target of everyone's criticism. Other people's parents are using you as a role model and goal for their children."

Kotobuki Toru was very self-aware. "It doesn't have much to do with me. If the person standing next to me wasn't you, but a girl whose bust and hip measurements equaled her waist... no one would make such a comment."

Fei Tu Hu Po was puzzled: "Hmm? What other feelings could she possibly have?"

Kotobuki Toru smiled slyly: "If you weren't so good-looking, or if you weren't so well-off... these uncles and aunts would probably praise you for being so virtuous or so smart, since praise and flattery are completely free."

Apart from the group of ponies led by Amber, the people present today are mostly individuals with high emotional intelligence and experience. No matter who they are dealing with, they can easily shower the other person with compliments.

If someone is clever, praise their wit; if someone is foolish, praise their enduring virtue; if someone is overweight, say they are healthy; if someone is thin, compliment their slenderness…

But these compliments were nothing more than empty words... they didn't really resonate with the person.

The real praise is actually like this—there isn't much praise for Hitotsu Kohaku and Kotobuki Toru.

Instead, she would call her own child and give them a loving lesson on the spot, telling them how other children are doing and how they should study hard. She would say that even if they couldn't learn everything from other children, she would be satisfied if they learned about half of what other children do.

This sounds like a sign of desperation, and it is indeed a sign of genuine desperation. It is a genuine expression of appreciation and praise, as well as true envy and jealousy.

"True envy and admiration is the kind of feeling that one can replace another, and that one can go where the enemy goes, so can I."

Fei Tu Hu Po suddenly realized, "Oh, now that you mention it... I think that makes a lot of sense, but I've also encountered a type of person who says I don't seem like a respectable woman and that I might behave improperly in the future. Does that mean these people look down on me?"

Kotobuki shook his head: "The kind of person you're describing is the type who says 'sour grapes' when they can't have them... and they're also very rude."

"Pfft, haha." Fei Tu Hu Po chuckled softly, her slightly upturned lips making her even more stunningly beautiful.

The parents and elders who were making phone calls in the courtyard became even more anxious, their hands almost crushing their phones.

“Is that really so…” Fei Tu Hu Po tightened her cheeks, trying not to upset the elders further, and whispered, “Aren’t we going too far again?”

"What's the big deal? Didn't my dad just say we'd show off today? Let everyone be green with envy and jealousy!" Kotobuki Toru grabbed Hitoko Amber's hand. "Let's make it a big, official announcement!"

"That's it..."

Fei Tu Hu Po pondered for a moment, then suddenly grabbed his wrist. The pearl tassels on the phoenix crown jingled, and in the silence of the entire hall, she tiptoed toward Qin Chui Tou.

The shimmering lamplight illuminated the phoenix coronet and wedding gown on the young girl, making her look charming and radiant. The golden phoenix coronet and the jewels adorning it shone proudly, sparkling and dazzling along with the golden pupils of the girl, making one's eyes dazzle. The girl's fair face, with its shy demeanor, bright eyes and red lips approached Qin Chui Tou.

With a soft "smack," crimson lips pressed against Qin Chui's lips, leaving a warm, moist residue.

The scent of mint mixed with the sweetness of lipstick wafted in the night breeze, followed by a soft "smack," as cherry blossom-colored lips left a wet mark on his cheek.

The rose-colored lipstick on Fei Tu Hu Po's lips had faded considerably, revealing the cherry blossom color of the young girl's lips.

The damp, sticky feeling still lingered on Kotobuki Toru's cheeks, making him subconsciously want to reach out and touch them.

But his hand was immediately grasped by Scarlet Amber.

Amber grabbed his hand that was about to touch her, her smiling eyes under the phoenix crown narrowing into sly crescents. "Don't wipe it! You said you were showing off today... so the stamp I gave you has to be shown off too."

At this moment, Hitotsu Kohaku was undoubtedly the most beautiful and alluring Hitotsu Kohaku that Kototsu had ever seen. It perfectly blended cunning, elegance, stinginess, and gentleness, making it so beautiful that one could not take their eyes off it.

The allure of Fei Tu Hu Po, along with her rare and complex emotions, instantly captivated all the guests present. Regardless of age or gender, everyone present sighed inwardly... Such a peerless beauty, even without any backing or trump cards, was entirely worthy of Qin Chui Tou on her own.

Even Kotobuki Toru might be a bit too much of a stretch, really too much!

After seeing Hitotsu Kohaku's stunningly beautiful and charming appearance, every man present had the same question in their hearts: How did Kotobuki Toru manage to find someone so good? How could he possibly do that?!

----

After Hitoko gave everyone a huge dose of PDA and showed off their relationship, Kotobuki Toru took Hitoko's hand and led her to the courtyard to have dinner with everyone.

Because of her overly luxurious clothes, Fei Tu Hu Po felt a sense of price attached to her and put on airs. The magnificent phoenix robes acted like an exquisite shackle, preventing Fei Tu Hu Po from fighting tooth and nail with sweat and smiles like Little Chestnut Hat and Eyes McQueen for the sheep's head.

As for Fei Tu Hu Po, she was forced to experience all her previous fantasies about banquets under the circumstances. She was wearing high heels, makeup, and could only hold a wine glass in her hand, keeping her chest out and stomach in to maintain her posture... and even had to smile.

No wonder the Kotobuki family despises the kind of social interaction where everyone has to keep something to themselves. That kind of socializing is really unacceptable to people; everyone would become depressed after just one hour.

Fortunately, while imitating Kotobuki's mother's dignified and regal demeanor, Hitoko Amber was also able to hold a wine glass and drink some wine... to relieve her fatigue.

"Wow, TouTou, what is this golden wine? It's beautiful, and it tastes good too."

"It looks like mead from the Viking lands?"

"Gulp gulp gulp, how about this one?"

"I don't know either... as long as it tastes good." Kotobuki Toru shrugged helplessly, then watched as Hishiko Kohaku poured another glass of purple liquor. "Aren't you afraid of getting drunk, drinking glass after glass like this?"

Fei Tu Hu Po bit the rim of her cup and glared at Qin Chui Tou: "I can't even eat barbecue, and I can't roll up a jianbing guozi... and I can't even have a drink?"

"You can really drink these cups straight here, one after another."

"Isn't it said that I belong to the water element in the Five Elements theory, and that I'm a horse made of water... I should drink more water when I have nothing to do."

As Hitotsu Amber was about to continue drinking, Kotobuki Toru's eyes darted around and he saw the relatives gathered around his father not far away.

"Perfect timing... Do you remember today's itinerary?" After saying that, Kotobuki Toru pulled Hitoko Amber along towards her relatives. "I'll take you to meet them now..."

"what?"

Hitoko Amber could only hold onto her wine glass as Kotobuki Toru led her over. "If we're going to get acquainted, what should I do? Should I lower myself and greet everyone?"

"No need, just show sincerity."

“Show sincerity.” Hitoko Amber immediately understood what Kotobuki Toru meant.

When Hitokohaku arrived in front of the Kotobuki family's relatives, she didn't care who the men, women, and children in front of her were, and raised her glass: "Dear relatives and friends, nice to meet you all. I am Hitokohaku. It's a pleasure to see you all. Cheers!"

Before anyone could react, Fei Tu Hu Po raised her swan-like, snow-white neck and gulped down the wine in her glass in a few gulps, not spilling a single drop...

Shinichi Kotobuki watched Hitsuko's commanding drinking gestures and immediately thought of the formidable reputation Hitsuko had established when she served as Treson's ambassador.

He knew, but he didn't say anything. He just chuckled and advised in the caring tone typical of an elder, "Hey, Amber, you're such an honest girl. How can you just drink straight away like that? You're such a young lady, how can you handle the alcohol?"

Fei Tu Hu Po pointed to herself and exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? My alcohol tolerance..."

Before Hitoko could finish her surprised and rebuttal, Shinichi Kotobuki interrupted her, pointing to a distinguished middle-aged man and saying, "Come, come, let me introduce you. This is Toru Kotobuki's distant uncle."

The middle-aged man smiled kindly and nodded to Fei Tu Hu Po: "Seeing is believing, little Hu Po. Let's keep in touch in the future."

"Okay! Thank you for taking care of me, Uncle!"

After saying that, Fei Tu Hu Po reached out and tilted the bottle with the Maotai liquor label next to her, filled the glass with liquor, and then drank the liquor in the glass without any hesitation.

"Cough cough, it's a bit spicy on the tongue, but it smells quite good." After downing the strong liquor, Fei Tu Hu Po stuck out her pink tongue and turned the glass upside down to show that she had finished. "I'll drink it all, you can drink as you like."

Kotobuki Toru's distant uncle was dumbfounded. Just now, Kotobuki Shinichi said that this Miss Ma's alcohol tolerance was average... but after drinking this strong liquor, there was absolutely no change.

Uncle has realized something is wrong, but on the surface, Shinichi Kotobuki has already set up Hitokohaku... and he's been doing it diligently.

He had to give face to the bride, and he also had to give face to his own bastard brother Dong. Left with no other choice, the uncle could only raise the wine glass in his hand and say, "It's rare to be so happy, I'll drink it too!"

Fei Tu Hu Po smiled brightly, "Wow, Uncle is so handsome! Have another drink! Let me pour you one!"

Hitotsu Kohaku interacted with Kotobuki Toru's uncle in what she thought was the most sincere way, completely unaware of his shocked and frightened expression.

"I'll do it!"

"Then, I'll do it too."

"Uncle, would you like some more?"

"No, no! There are still so many people here."

Seeing that Fei Tu Hu Po was about to pour more wine, the uncle immediately handed the glass to the aunt who was cleaning up the scene, and ran to the chair next to him to sit down, looking like he was questioning his life.

Shinichi Kotobuki chuckled as he watched this scene, then pointed to the next person with a proud and sinister expression: "Kohaku, this is Toru Kotobuki's uncle."

"Hey Uncle! I'll do it!"

"Oh dear, you child... slow down."

"This is Kotobuki Toru's aunt, the owner of a French winery. She may have drunk it!"

"Hello, Auntie! I'll have two drinks!"

"No, don't listen to that old geezer Shinichi's nonsense..."

"Who is this……"

"Done!"

That night, everyone in the Kotobuki family who could drink remembered the name Hisakohaku.

Before he got so drunk he collapsed on the table.

The two-in-one update is here!

Everyone, just wait!

Please please please please

Chapter 477 How much is the bride price for Scarlet Amber? (3K)

The changes in Hitoko's image in the eyes of her relatives in the Kotobuki family generally followed a set process:

"A young village girl from the countryside meets Kotobuki Toru in Sapporo."

"The unspeakable cannibalistic demon king is closing in on Qin Chuitou."

"The despicable and shameless thief has entered Central Teresen."

"Hitotsu Amber wins a championship!"

"Miss Hitsukohaku and Kotobuki Toru kissed!"

"The magnificent Miss Scarlet Amber has won three crowns!"

"Our supreme and beautiful relative, Hito-chan, has arrived in her loyal Japan today."

-------

"The scarlet demon is giving every drinking relative in the family a hard time. When Scarlet Amber greets you, do not answer, do not answer, do not answer."

As the night passed, in the hearts of many of Kotobuki's relatives, Hitokohaku's reputation, which had been improving, changed again. She went from being a cute, brainless, adorable girl to a great demon queen in a scarlet dress who stirred up a bloody storm.

So much so that when everyone who had stayed at Kotobuki's house saw Hitokohaku at breakfast the next morning, they all clutched their stomachs, looking as if they had drunk too much the day before and were now completely unable to hold their liquor.

Fearing being recognized by Hitotsu Amber, the red-clad demon king again offered her a beer, urging her to "drink some more beer to sober up."
