The Little Husband Who Became the Ghost-Faced King

78

Xiji looked at the sincere expressions on their faces and responded softly, fully demonstrating the demeanor of a young master from a noble family.

When they stopped showing their loyalty, he casually said: You have worked hard during this period, and you have contributed to the success of this product. You will need to pay more attention to the next things, and it will be good for everyone if you get it done.

Seeing Xiji being so polite, those people looked at each other, then looked at Xiji and said in unison: It is our honor to serve you, sir.

Xiji seemed very satisfied with their performance. After they expressed their loyalty, he nodded, gave some instructions, and then left with Luyin.

As soon as he sat on the carriage, Xiji, who had been holding his temper just now, suddenly relaxed. He let out a long breath and said with emotion, "Finally it's done. I won't have to stay here often in the future. It's really suffocating lately."

Hearing Xiji say this, Luyin looked at him with resentment, and wanted to say, since the young master despised it so much, why did he still do these dirty things. But she was just a servant, and had no right to say these things. She could only look at the relaxed Xiji with resentment, hoping that he would not come up with any new ways to toss next time.

Unfortunately, Xiji’s subsequent performance did not go as Lvyin expected. After he relaxed, he looked at Lvyin and asked a confusing question: Are there a lot of delicious river crabs in this season?

Lu Yin didn't know why Xiji suddenly asked about something that no one eats, but since Xiji asked, she naturally couldn't be perfunctory. After searching in her memory for a while, she soon got the answer. She looked at Xiji seriously and said: Yes, sir, that thing always appears in groups in this season, often injuring children who go to the river to play, which is really annoying.

Are the river crabs big? When Xiji heard her say this, he knew that they didn't know how delicious the river crabs were, so he immediately asked the question that concerned him the most.

Lu Yin recalled and nodded honestly. They were big, each one was as big as an adult's palm.

Thinking of the size of the river crabs she mentioned, Xiji's mind instantly flashed through many ways of eating crabs: steamed, braised, all of which were simply too delicious.

So, after Lu Yin finished speaking, he immediately said: Let's find someone to grab some and bring it back, and we'll eat this tonight.

Lu Yin looked at Xiji who was so excited, and for a moment she didn't know whether she should speak up to stop him. So after she saw Xiji finishing those dirty things, she watched him command the guards to catch a lot of crabs.

Looking at those large shelled creatures, Lu Yin began to doubt Xiji's words. Can these things be eaten? Will they cause any diseases?

Xiji had no idea what Luyin was thinking. After handing the caught river crabs to the kitchen for processing, Xiji went to the bathroom to take a shower. This was a habit he developed after frequently going to the manor, because he knew that Ye Wang didn't like him to do that, so he would take a shower after coming back, trying to prevent Ye Wang from remembering what he had done during the day.

I just don't know if he didn't wash thoroughly enough, or if the Night King did it on purpose. He often used the excuse of checking if there was any residual smell on his body to touch him all over and then do this and that.

When Xiji thought of the Night King's increasingly excessive behavior towards him, his face began to burn red again. He buried half of his face in the water, trying to relieve the scorching temperature.
