Luli pinched Xiaoxing's nose. At this point, Luli began searching in the system space. What was she looking for? Of course, it was food. In the face of Xiaoxing, a small foodie like her, winning her over through her stomach could enhance loyalty.
Heavenly dragon meat in the sky, fox meat on the ground. Incidentally, he possessed an extraordinary fox corpse—the body of a nine-tailed enchanting fox, a demon fox in the Dharma Phase realm.
Even if she hadn't traversed realms before, on Earth, nine-tailed foxes were renowned mythical creatures, albeit only in novels.
Now, Luli had a fresh corpse of a nine-tailed fox. Should he not taste it? Not doing so would be a disservice to his own stomach.
Luli acted promptly, skinning, eviscerating, and extracting the internal organs. He processed the nine-tailed fox swiftly. With the increasing proficiency in barbecuing these days, the fox meat was soon placed on the fire.
The yard was permeated with a fragrant aroma, the distinctive scent of fox meat filling every nook. Xiaoxing couldn't help but start salivating.
"Young Master, I just counted; this fox actually has nine tails!"
"Indeed, this is no ordinary fox. It's a rare delicacy!"
Xiaoxing's frequency of swallowing noticeably increased. At this point, the other maids also came out. The aroma in the yard was especially enticing today.
Even Beier, when she came out today, couldn't resist salivating, licking her tongue. In these days, not to mention the other maids, even Beier, this sapphire pangolin, had been tamed by Luli into a mouth-watering state.
Luli checked Xiaoxing's loyalty. It increased. Surprisingly, before the meat was even cooked, her loyalty had risen. She truly was a foodie.
When the maids began relishing the fox meat with praise, Luli already knew that Xiaoxing's loyalty had reached ninety-nine.
After finishing a meal of fox meat, Xiaoxing's loyalty remained at ninety-nine.
"It's truly not easy to reach full loyalty. Do I have to treat Xiaoxiu the same way to achieve it?"
Luli couldn't help but think of the scene where he unintentionally pulled Xiaoxiu into his arms.
However, Luli didn't act in the same way. He would not intentionally do so at this moment. Pulling Xiaoxiu in back then was a subconscious act; now, deliberately doing so would not be something Luli would do.
In the afternoon, someone visited Luli's residence for the first time. When Luli opened the door, he saw a graceful and noble woman. Surprisingly, it was Er Niang. After being abducted by the fox demon, everyone thought he was dead. At that time, only Second Brother and Er Niang visited once.
So when Luli saw Er Niang, he was not surprised. He had been back to Donglin City for a week, although he kept a low profile. However, with the eyes and ears of the Lin family and the Lu family, it should have been known long ago that Luli had not died and had returned.
Er Niang, at this moment, looked much better than before, appearing several years younger.
The main lady and the eldest son of the Lu family were both killed by him. At this point, there was no one in the Lu family competing with Er Niang. In the Lu family, Er Niang was truly established in her rightful position. With a good complexion and a good mood, it was quite normal!
"Er Niang is here! Please come inside!"
"Lier, when you came back, you didn't even inform Er Niang. These days, Er Niang has been worried about you!"
"Fortunately, I went to see your mother this morning and learned that you returned safely!"
"Let Er Niang take a good look at you!"
"Er Niang, I'm fine! No need to worry!"
Knowing that Lin Yike was just being polite, after all, she came to visit him after he was abducted. This time, Lulin walked into the yard. Luli also saw Lin Yike only when she walked into the yard. Behind Lin Yike, there was still a woman, who looked a bit similar to Lin Yike, about seventy percent alike.
Luli vaguely remembered that she seemed to be the younger daughter of Lin Yike's brother's family, named Lin Zixin. How could she come to him with Er Niang?
After Lin Zixin entered the yard, she kept glancing around. Looking here and there, when she met Luli's gaze, she quickly avoided it.
Er Niang took Lin Zixin all the way to Luli's house. At this time, Lin Zixin pulled Er Niang's sleeve and secretly watched Luli. When she saw Luli looking at her, she quickly avoided her gaze.
Er Niang and Luli talked for a while, and Luli noticed that Lin Zixin pulled Er Niang's sleeve.
"Why did Er Niang bring her niece here? Could it be... impossible!"
Luli had already thought of a possibility at this moment, but the problem was, was he so outstanding that the eldest daughter of someone else's family came to propose marriage with Er Niang?
Luli shook his head, feeling that he might be overthinking it. Even if there was a proposal, Lin Zixin would not come in person! In this world, young ladies still had the demeanor of young ladies.
"Lier, you are already seventeen this year. In Donglin City, in several major families, many men have already married and had children when they were your age."
"Er Niang, I am only seventeen this year, and right now my energy is focused on martial arts. I haven't thought about marriage yet."
"Martial arts are important, and so is marriage. You are not in a hurry, but your mother and I are."
Indeed, fearing that trouble would come, Luli knew that Er Niang's visit must be for a reason. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come today after he had been back to Donglin City for so long. Luli didn't believe that Er Niang just learned about his return to Donglin City today.
These young ladies from noble families had deep scheming.
"Even if your mother is not in a hurry, Er Niang is worried for you. Today, when I came, my niece insisted on coming along. You should still remember Zixin, right? You two used to like playing together when you were young. You could say you grew up together!"
"Lili, do you remember me!"
Lin Zixin had already walked up, a bit coy, and walked to Luli. Luli cursed in his heart, what a broken thing, and even pulled out a childhood sweetheart.
Don't say that he and Lin Zixin are not childhood sweethearts, even the previous Luli, when he was a child, was only bullied by this girl. Enemies are almost the same, and childhood sweethearts should not be mentioned.
"Lili, Er Niang still has some family affairs to deal with, so I will go back first. Don't stay in the yard all day. Recently, the major sects have
started recruiting disciples in various states, and the city is very lively. Take Zixin out more to play!"
"Lili, Er Niang really didn't intend to consider marriage!"
"Lili, I have someone in my heart already!"
Your sister, if you don't drive Lin Zixin away today, it will be a big deal.
"Who is it?"
Lin Yike did not speak, and Lin Zixin on the side had already asked.
"I won't tell you!"
"Don't tell me I don't care. Even if it's true, I can allow her to be a concubine for you!"
Luli glanced at Lin Zixin. This girl was quite bold. She dared to say such things. However, as a young lady from a noble family who followed Er Niang to visit him, it was enough to show her character.
Even if she wants to be a concubine, I won't accept it. What's more, you let my Xiaozhao be a concubine.
"Zixin, shut up!"
