Seeing this, Liu Ergou chuckled and imdiately burrowed into the blankets.
The night was destined to be a restless one, a night without sleep. Just like the afternoon, Liu Ergou's room never quieted down, constantly filled with a clamor. The sound persisted deep into the night before it finally subsided.
「Early the next morning.」
Liu Ergou rose to begin his cultivation. His practice went exceptionally well today. He felt the speed at which he circulated his energy was 30 to 40 percent faster than before, and there was still room for improvent.
This situation sent Liu Ergou into deep thought. It seems a balance between work and rest is essential. If I just cultivate incessantly, my improvent will be quite slow. But with appropriate relaxation, my cultivation speed will increase significantly.
With this in mind, Liu Ergou made a private resolution. From now on, I have to relax at regular intervals and not just cultivate relentlessly.
After finishing his cultivation, Liu Ergou once again made breakfast for Mi Xiaoying and He Mingxue. Then, he went to the village entrance to et the survey team.
There wasn't much to say about eting the survey team. After they t with Mi Xiaoying, they quickly got busy.
anwhile, Liu Ergou sat in his yard, slacking off. Today, he didn't want to do anything; he just wanted to lie around at ho and relax for the entire day. The allure of Mi Xiaoying and He Mingxue was irresistible, and Liu Ergou was no exception.
However, Liu Ergou hadn't been slacking off for long before Lu Shuangyue ran over.
When Liu Ergou saw the three won et, his heart imdiately leaped into his throat. All three were powerful won and company CEOs. He worried their sudden eting would likely spark a massive argunt.
But as it turned out, Liu Ergou was overthinking things. Although the won seed a bit awkward with each other when they first t, after a short while, they beca as close as biological sisters.
This shocked Liu Ergou so much his jaw nearly dropped.
Could it be that Lu Shuangyue knew the other two beforehand?
Unable to contain his curiosity, he voiced the question. "Say, Shuang Yue, did you know Mi Xiaoying before?"
Hearing Liu Ergou's question, Lu Shuangyue replied, "I didn't know her; I'd only heard of her. If I rember correctly, our company and Sister Xiaoying's were even rivals before!"
At the ntion of this, Mi Xiaoying couldn't help but blush. "Oh, let's not talk about the past, Shuang Yue. If I had known things would turn out this way, there would have been no need for to act against you. We're all family now. Doing sothing like that was completely unnecessary!"
Watching the two of them, Liu Ergou wasn't sure what to say. They had only just t, yet now they were acting as close as family.
Liu Ergou wanted to say sothing more, but he thought better of it and kept quiet.
Just then, Mi Xiaoying's survey team returned. They inford her that they had chosen a location for the factory and could begin construction at her command.
Mi Xiaoying nodded, took out her phone, and called her construction team. She told them the factory location had been selected and to co over imdiately to start work, aiming to build the entire factory as quickly as possible.
After hanging up, Mi Xiaoying, Lu Shuangyue, and He Mingxue started chatting again. They got into such a heated conversation that Liu Ergou, sitting to the side, could only stare, unable to get a word in.
In the end, seeing he couldn't contribute to the conversation at all, Er Gou could only shake his head. He turned and left, leaving the three won to their chat.
He headed straight for the back mountain. Anyway, I don't have anything else to do this afternoon. I might as well practice Erlang Fist!
And so, Er Gou spent the entire afternoon on the back mountain, practicing his fist techniques.
「Evening soon arrived.」
Tonight, Liu Ergou was cooking again. Originally, it wasn't supposed to be his turn. Earlier in the day, Mi Xiaoying, Lu Shuangyue, and He Mingxue had declared they would handle dinner to let Er Gou sample their culinary skills. After all, in all the ti they'd known him, they had never cooked for him.
Liu Ergou hadn't thought much of it and agreed to their request. But when the three of them began to cook, he realized he had made a terrible mistake. It wasn't just a mistake; it was an unbelievably bad one.
The reason was simple: while cooking, the three of them nearly blew up Er Gou's kitchen. If not for Er Gou's quick eyes and hands stopping them, they wouldn't have to worry about building a factory—they would have had to start by renovating his house.
To spare his kitchen, Er Gou ultimately decided to cook himself.
Soon, the al was ready, and he ate with the three won. Afterwards, he turned and walked outside. After dinner, the three won had started chatting again, and Er Gou still couldn't get a word in. Left with no choice, he could only go out for a walk.
After wandering around the village a few tis, Er Gou beca incredibly bored. He thought for a mont and finally decided to go see his master to check if there was anything he needed help with.
With that thought, Er Gou headed straight for where Swallow Li lived.
Er Gou's timing was perfect. He arrived just as Swallow Li was having dinner with Ning Hua.
When Er Gou saw the two of them eating, he couldn't help but ask, "Huh? Master, who cooked this for you and Senior Sister?"
Seeing Er Gou's astonished expression, Swallow Li replied, "Who else? Of course, your Senior Sister cooked for ! I'm a grown man who can't cook, so Ning Hua has to be the one to do it."
At these words, Er Gou froze on the spot. He stood there stunned for nearly a full minute before turning to look at Ning Hua with an expression of betrayal. He then said indignantly, "Senior Sister, you told you couldn't cook! How co you suddenly know how to now?!"
Seeing Er Gou's aggrieved look, Swallow Li couldn't help but scratch his head. "Ah? Ning Hua can't cook?" After a beat, he burst out laughing. "HAHAHA! That's the funniest joke I've heard all year! How could Ning Hua possibly not know how to cook? You should know, not only can she cook, but she also has a chef's certificate! A Special Grade 1 Chef, I think? It's been so long, I can't rember!"
As he spoke, Swallow Li picked up a morsel of food and put it in his mouth, an expression of pure enjoynt spreading across his face.
