Welcome to the Potato Cult

14. The Avengers ft. One Confused Sailor Moon

Xiai and Chen Jue were kneeling before everyone in Keran's living room. Keran had her businesswoman poker face on. Even the ever-so-happy Shuxin was glaring at them. One thing for sure, the atmosphere was definitely hostile.

"We are so sorry for what we have done," Xiai apologized. "We were blinded by our assumptions and did irreversible damages to everyone's property."

"We are so sorry," Chen Jue echoed.

"Care to explain why you did it?" Keran asked cooly.

Xiai looked up at Lin Fan. Lin Fan nodded grimly.

"We did it because we thought you were here to buy up the village," Xiai admitted. "Anqi convinced us that you were here to turn our village into some weird urban shit they do in the cities. So, we thought it'd be best if we kick you out."

Lu Keran raised an eyebrow at that. Xiai and Chen Jue gulped. Keran didn't seem like she was going to forgive them easily.

What was in my last will again? Xiai pondered. Oh, yes! My position at the restaurant will be rightfully inherited by Fu Ruqiao.

Where did we put the last wills? Chen Jue wondered. I can't seem to remember!

What do I tell the carpet cleaners when I take this thing for a wash after it's blood-stained? Lin Fan panicked.

Am I going to eat lasagna or Shaking's pussy for dinner? Yu Yan asked herself. Well, pussy it is!

While everyone was occupied with their own thoughts, Keran burst out in laughter. It wasn't her usual reserved laugh, no. It was an uncontrollable goose honk laugh.

Oh god! That laugh is scary! Lin Fan flinched. But she's still so cute though, laughing like that.

"W-Why are you laughing?" Xiai mustered up some courage to ask.

"Because it's so bullshit!" Keran wiped her tears away. "Oh my god! I was here on doctor's recommendation! Ahaha! I have no intention to build anything at the moment!"

And boy did that make Xiai and Chen Jue feel like idiots! Chen Jue groaned.

"It's all because of your cousin," she glared at Xiai. "She's the one who cooked up this whole mess."

"I know baobei," Xiai muttered. "If it weren't for her, we would have made a new friend."

Keran looked back and forth at the exchange between Xiai and Chen Jue. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Lin Fan angrily scribbling something. The CEO turned to her girlfriend and looked over her shoulder.

"Excommunication from the Potato Cult?" Keran read what Lin Fan was writing out loud.

"No, please!" Xiai lunged forward to hug Lin Fan's feet. "Not the Potato Cult!"

"You should've thought twice before siding with your cousin, Shangguan Xiai," Lin Fan seethed as she scribbled away.

"What is the Potato Cult?" Keran asked. "And why didn't you tell me you were heading a cult?"

"It's not a cult," Shuxin explained. "It's a free-potatoes-forever deal she hands out to people once in a blue moon. Every single one of her high school friends has one. If she excommunicates you, that means you have to pay extra for her deluxe potatoes."

Keran's mouth formed an "o" in realization. Meanwhile, Xiai was still hugging Lin Fan's legs like the desperate person she is.

"Lin Fan, how is the restaurant going to survive if we have to pay extra for your potatoes??" Xiai cried.
