Chapter 425 Sigh! Having a wife who is too outstanding is also a kind of trouble!
As for Erii... given her personality, she might get jealous, but she wouldn't go so far as to cause a scene with Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er while Old Li was unconscious. Moreover, her situation was special; she was actually a hostage when she first met Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er!
Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er never expected that this hostage would catch up with them so quietly!
They even found out that Li Muyang and Erii had shared a bed!
Even though it was just a one-night stand (the one at Longhu Mountain, with Ai Haibara there too), Erii didn't know much about it. But whether out of a perverse sense of humor or something else, when she explained to the two women, she said that she had shared a bed with Old Li.
I slept all night!
As people who had been through it all, Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er naturally filled in the blanks in their minds.
I never expected that Li Muyang hadn't actually done anything! He just took a nap.
This silly girl, if it were anyone else, Erii would probably be pregnant with her second child by now! Of course, she might also have already been killed by Uesugi Koshi and Genji, and Genji might be looking for an opportunity to finish her off.
Therefore, considering that Li Muyang had maintained his composure and hadn't done anything out of line, Genji reluctantly accepted Li Muyang's relationship with Erii. At least this person wouldn't hurt Erii and genuinely cared for her and looked after her!
In this respect, Genjiro was also ashamed of himself. He considered himself an older brother and certainly cared about Erii, but he couldn't treat Erii as an ordinary girl. What Erii wanted was a friend, a friend who could treat her as an equal.
Li Muyang is a good match, and the two get along well.
Later, in the small world, when Erii came to visit Li Muyang, she learned that he was unconscious. However, due to the fusion with the White King, when Erii saw the unconscious Li Muyang, her senses told her that Old Li was about to wake up.
Not long after, Li Muyang came to this world on his own to play with Erii. Therefore, in Erii's eyes, nothing happened to Li Muyang. Her jealousy was only shown by taking Li Muyang to a banquet, which was a way of asserting her dominance in this world.
Well, Erii can't control what happens in other worlds, but in this world, Old Li can't hide his secret from her while he's cheating!
Sure enough, the seemingly innocent person is actually quite naive inside.
Unbeknownst to Li Muyang, Erii secretly gave herself a crash course in physiology! She finally understood that what happened at Longhu Mountain that day was just her overthinking things; in fact, the two of them were completely innocent!
Judging from the expressions on Bai Yuxiu's and Feng Ling'er's faces after hearing her words, Erii activated her intelligent brain and understood! This was definitely someone who had been through it all! A senior! Eldest sister!
All I can say is that the Snake-Headed Eight Family has raised her well; Erii is a very traditional girl! I didn't think much about it, but I was very annoyed that Old Li treated her like a child.
"Where am I small?!" Erii was very dissatisfied! Frustrated, she drank another cup of papaya milk.
Getting back to the point, Brigitte Lin is very satisfied with Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er; they are both wonderful girls! They would be perfect wives for my grandson. It's just a pity that the girl named Uesugi Erii can't come over.
Well, Li Muyang's explanation was that their family keeps a close watch on them, so it wasn't convenient to bring them over.
He kept silent about abducting Erii multiple times, which led Genji to become extremely wary of Li Muyang.
It's all my own doing!
While Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er were being examined by their grandmother, Brigitte Lin, Li Muyang managed to hold off the eager Hong Xiudie on his own, but even so, he was starting to feel the strain.
Grandpa Hong! Can you please do something about your granddaughter? She's making advances towards my wives!
Hong Anguo buried himself in grilling the meat, completely ignoring Li Muyang. What's the big deal? They're all girls! What could they possibly do? Look how anxious you are! Tch!
Just then, Li Muyang had a flash of inspiration. Reminded by Hong Anguo (Hong Anguo: ?), he suddenly had an idea. With a wave of his hand, he said to Hong Xiudie, "Girl! Your cooking isn't even as good as my rat's!"
"Impossible!" Hong Xiudie suddenly became agitated, her anger reaching its peak! She resolutely said, "If you're going to use this kind of topic to divert my attention, then I have to admit! Old Li, you've successfully captured my attention!"
"I, the dignified third young lady of the Hong family! The number one young chef in the contemporary culinary world! How could I possibly be inferior to a rat!"
While beautiful women are desirable, in a cook's eyes, culinary skills and delicious food are far more worthy of pursuit! In Hong Xiudie's eyes, chefs with superb culinary skills and delicious food are undoubtedly at the top of the list.
A beautiful woman who can cook delicious food is the best!
And she wasn't arrogant; she truly had the ability to back it up! She swept through the younger generation of chefs in both Great Xia and Japan, undefeated in the world! Even some of the older generation trembled in fear at the sight of Hong Xiudie.
Li Muyang wanted that confidence from her!
He immediately called out Xiaomi! "Come out! Ratatouille! I choose you!"
Let this arrogant girl see what a true gathering of heroes looks like!
Facing the humanoid rat before her, Hong Xiudie's eyes blazed with fierce fighting spirit! Let's fight!
Xiaomi (；￣д￣): ...What does this human woman want to do? She's not thinking of eating rat meat, is she? Why is she staring at me with such a terrifying look? Ouch... Boss! Don't do anything rash!
"Ahem! Xiaomi, I have a task for you: have a cooking contest with this girl!" Li Muyang said with a light cough.
Xiaomi raised an eyebrow: "Boss? Why don't you cook yourself? You're a better cook than me!"
Well, in terms of cooking skills, Xiaomi is also inferior to Li Muyang. He truly deserves the title of "boss"!
Li Muyang smiled calmly: "I can't bully people! I just said yours tastes better than hers, but this girl won't admit defeat! She doesn't believe me! She insists on trying!"
Xiaomi remained calm, shrugging helplessly: "Alright then? What should we compete in?"
"Anything is fine! Just use your best dish!" Hong Xiudie said seriously and solemnly, "The ingredients are limited to common ones! Excluding spiritual ingredients! Use the simplest ingredients to make the most delicious dishes!"
"Okay!" Xiaomi nodded decisively. This concept was in line with his culinary philosophy! To be honest, Xiaomi didn't really like to compete to see who had better cooking skills. In his eyes, there was no such thing as good or bad cooking skills. Everyone was qualified to be a chef and showcase their art by cooking delicious food.
Strictly speaking, Xiaomi's concept of food is that everyone should be entitled to enjoy it, and it is never said to be exclusive to the rich and powerful. In fact, this concept is consistent with the chef's concept of Hong Fugui, also known as Xiao Fugui.
If it weren't for the circumstances at the time, Xiao Fugui should have carried on his culinary skills and brought delicious food to ordinary people's homes.
Unfortunately... those who know, know. Fortunately, Hong Anguo has now fulfilled his ancestors' wishes, not only making the profession of chef flourish, but also not forgetting his original intention, and it remains an accessible profession for ordinary people.
Good food is never a luxury.
Watching Hong Xiudie and Xiao Mi go off to cook their own meals, Li Muyang finally breathed a sigh of relief. The woman who had been spying on his wife had finally been tricked away! He could finally relax.
"Senior brother, can I be a referee later?" Chen Duo asked, still eager for more.
Hong Anguo chuckled and said, "Then I can't keep watching the show. Don't worry, I won't take my daughter's side! It's good that she understands that there are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding!"
Li Muyang's lips twitched: "No... Grandpa Hong, how come I never noticed before that you have such a thick skin?"
Perhaps because he'd let his guard down, Li Muyang started speaking without holding back.
Hong Anguo shrugged helplessly: "Oh, don't be so stingy! We're all girls, what could possibly happen? Anyway, if something does happen, you won't lose out either way."
Li Muyang retorted expressionlessly, "You really don't know how to talk like that! I already have to be wary of people of the same sex, and now I have to be wary of people of the opposite sex too! Is this the price of being too outstanding, Madam? It's really troublesome~"
"You think I'm not at a disadvantage? Don't be ridiculous! I feel like I'm the one who's been taken advantage of! Don't give me that nonsense! I'm not buying it! Don't you agree, Yuxiu? Ling'er?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Bai Yuxiu blushed with embarrassment, while Feng Ling'er was used to it and chuckled.
Whether they suffered a loss or not, only the parties involved probably know the truth.
But Brigitte Lin struck again, grabbing Hong Anguo's ear and launching a fierce attack: "Look at what you're saying! Xiu Die's temper is all because of you! Mu Yang has had a hard time! Don't make things worse for him!"
With his wife intervening, Hong Anguo immediately surrendered and dared not continue his antics. He quickly changed his stance: "Oh dear! Madam's scolding has taught me a lesson! Xiu Die really went a bit too far! As the saying goes, it's better to tear down a temple than to break up a marriage..."
Well, is he a fortune teller or the reincarnation of Taigong? This mouth of his is really something else. He talked about everything from ancient and modern times to historical records. Hong Anguo just kept going on and on.
In short, children and grandchildren have their own blessings; if I don't have children and grandchildren, I will enjoy my blessings.
Unexpectedly, Hong Anguo was a very open-minded old man.
Well, for Hong Anguo, being happy is the most important thing! Everything else is secondary!
Anyway, their family isn't forced by life's hardships. Even if their fortunes decline, their individual skills are enough to support themselves. So, pursuing tradition too much would be meaningless.
Discussing marriage is a very serious matter! It's impossible to rush things just to appease your children and grandchildren, right? Would you be fooling them? Or would you be fooling them? You can't use your children's and grandchildren's lifelong happiness to satisfy your own selfish desires.
To be honest, the real reason why Hong Anguo wasn't in a hurry was because they were both destined to live long lives! Neither he nor Brigitte Lin were ordinary people.
Hong Anguo is destined to become an immortal in this life, and Lin Qingxia herself is a high-ranking disciple of a sect in the upper realm of immortals. Perhaps when their sons are about to die of old age, the two of them will still be full of energy.
Moreover, Brigitte Lin only talks the talk; in reality, she rarely intervenes actively. At most, she might give a few hints, but she won't make any troublesome arrangements, such as blind dates. She has never done that because she thinks it's unreliable.
