Reign of the Hunters (200+)

Chapter 309 & 310

Hence the boy tried his best to remain calm as he gave a response, "What exactly are you expecting me to ask you, Sister Ye?"

Ye Ci was rendered speechless by the question. She stared silently at Tan Polang, and her face immediately blushed. Well I can't exactly ask him if he saw those pictures can't I? That'll be admitting that it happened!

Tan Polang was so shocked when he saw the red on Ye Ci's face that he almost dropped his book, "Are you okay Sister Ye? Are you feeling unwell?"

"It's nothing. I'll go get a shower. Carry on with your studies." Ye Ci immediately turned around and limped her way to the washroom. She touched her face, and could feel the lingering heat. Goddamn it! Why is this happening?

Ye Ci slammed the door shut as soon as she was in the washroom. She stared into the mirror, and saw her face blushing in a deep shade of red. She then proceeded to splash cold water onto her face.

Zuo Xiaolan was in a very good mood. Despite her argument with Ye Nantian on a certain topic, her mood remained largely unaffected. She had a very good night's sleep, and she might even be able to remain asleep longer if not for someone slamming the bathroom door shut.

And once Zuo Xiaolan was awake in the morning, she could never fall back asleep. Which was why she made the decision to get out of bed after taking a glance at the time.

Ye Nantian was sleeping with his back against her after losing their argument. A smug smile appeared on Zuo Xiaolan's face as she stared at her husband. He had never won against her when they were young, and things will remain that way in the future.

She let out a yawn, grabbed a change of clothes, and went downstairs to make breakfast.

Zuo Xiaolan left the bedroom, and went to the kitchen when she noticed that the washroom was occupied. Her mood improved even further when she noticed Tan Polang studying at the veranda. She walked up to the boy and offered him a greeting, "Polang, do you have confidence in your next exam?"

Tan Polang immediately raised his head when he heard her voice. He stood up and whispered to Zuo Xiaolan, "Is sister Ye still in the washroom?"

"Eh? Little Ci was the one in the toilet?" Zuo Xiaolan was surprised as well. Ye Ci had never risen so early before once she became a full-time gamer. Even her three meals were eaten at weird timings. Zuo Xiaolan glanced at the direction of the washroom and lowered her voice, "Why is she up so early today?"

Tan Polang shook his head, and immediately relayed what happened earlier to Zuo Xiaolan, "Mom, I swear, I told her nothing."

Zuo Xiaolan was satisfied with his performance, "Alright then. Continue your studies. You handle communications with Fleeting Time and I'll take care of the rest. Ye Ci will never be able to escape from my palm. Just you wait and see."

And she headed into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Tan Polang could hear Zuo Xiaolan's humming even from the kitchen. It was a sign that she was in a good mood.

It was the first time Ye Ci had breakfast with all the members of her family present in months. She was filled with panic when she saw the number of people at the dining table. She immediately regretted her decision to have breakfast early.

Ye Ci wolfed down some dumplings with her head lowered. The food that she liked tasted like wax to her this morning.

"So yesterday..." started Ye Nantian, and all eyes immediately converged upon him.

And Ye Nantian immediately faltered under so many gazes, "I've made a new dish in-game. It can boost the combat capabilities of a players for 30 minutes after consumption. Is it good?" Ye Ci let out a sigh of relief.
