What? Xiao Luo and the National Goddess Su Li are husband and wife?

Tan Zisheng was astonished, and the look on his face alternated between shock and embarrassment. He felt ashamed of his actions and poor choice of words earlier.

"Huh! So that's how she could become the national goddess. Turns out all she had to do was hook a rich man. Pah! She's only depending on her pretty face and has no talent at all!" Bai Xia hissed, insulting Su Li with biting sarcasm. She intended to attack anyone who offended Tan Zisheng.

The moment she said these words, the atmosphere in the room fell into an awkward silence. Bai Xia was exceedingly obnoxious, and no one could tolerate her poor behavior.

Xiao Ruyi stood up and glared at Bai Xia. "You! Leave now... just get lost!" she shrieked, pointing angrily at the door.

"Fine, I wouldn't want to stay another longer than I have to! Zisheng, let's go!"

Bai Xia thought that by showing her support for Tan Zisheng, he would forgive her. However, just as she was about to reach out to hold his hand, she shrank back timidly when she noticed Tan Zisheng's murderous stare.

As he glared at this uncouth and self-righteous woman, Tan Zisheng was seething. If Bai Xia had not made a mess of the situation, the outcome would have been very different, perhaps even perfect. He really couldn't that such a foolish woman existed in the world. She was nothing more than a pig. No, she was worse than a pig!

"Mr. Xiao, Ms. Su, I..."

He wanted to apologize, but he found no words to say. In the end, he bowed deeply and apologize to everyone in the private room, before he promptly made to leave the room.

"Zisheng, wait for me!"

Bai Xia tailed after Tan Zisheng like a shadow, and just as she was about to reach the door of the private room, her rage got the better of her. She was indignant at Tan Zisheng's mistreatment and blamed Xiao Luo and the others for his foul mood. "How could you sit there enjoying your meal? Go to hell, the lot of you!"

Suddenly, she picked up a bottle of beer from the table nearby and vented her anger by throwing it at their table. Whether she intended to, the bottle sailed toward the large pot of soup in the center of the table.

Zhang Dashan, Chai Zhiying, and everyone else seated around the table turned pale, for they never expected that Bai Xia would take such drastic action. The bottle of beer was about to smash into the pot and splatter boiling soup all over everyone!

"Be careful!"

Zhang Dashan shouted out a warning for everyone to duck.

But something unbelievable happened. The bottle of beer suddenly stopped in its trajectory and hovered about ten centimeters above the pot of soup. Incredibly, it remained suspended in the air, as if an invisible hand had grabbed it.

Everyone was stunned beyond words! Bai Xia and Tan Zisheng, who had yet to leave the room, were so shocked that froze where they stood.

"Look, Daddy is performing a magic trick! Awesome, Daddy!" Su Xiaobei cheered.

As if on cue, everyone turned and looked at Xiao Luo. They realized his palm was outstretched as if he was clutching the beer bottle, but he was nowhere near the bottle. It appeared that the reason this beer bottle stayed in the air was because of Xiao Luo.

It was no magic trick, but the ability to control things through the air!

Holy f*ck, there was such skill in this world?

Zhang Dashan, Su Canye, and the others gathered in the room were even more astonished now. So much so that they did not realize the cutlery in their hands had fallen to the ground.
