NOVEL NEXT Chapter 621: Xiao Hei's Wife
Tang Rao could, of course, hear the voice of the Ten-winged Demon Dragon; this was the result he wanted.
Let the Ten-winged Demon Dragon hate the Soul Capture Pavilion and the Giant Merchant Star, and let the Outer Domain madmen also join the war, hahaha, it feels like all of Seventy-two Domains across the Nine Realms are going to turn upside down.
"Xiao Hei, I did pretty well just now, didn't I?" Li Shengxuan said beside Tang Rao.
"Of course, Xiao Xuanxuan, your acting is really good. Worthy of following me, you've learned a trick or two from me. Well done, well done, here, this is your reward." Tang Rao handed her a pack of beer.
Li Shengxuan felt as happy as if she had gained the whole world.
Tang Rao felt that Li Shengxuan's peculiar hobby was truly great. A pack of beer could make her so happy she'd lose her sense of direction. If all women were like her, oh my, how wonderful the world would be.
At that time, dealing with women would rely on beer; if one pack doesn't work, then two.
"By the way, Xiao Hei, didn't you say you wanted to catch some tasty small animals for a barbecue? When are we going to catch them?" Li Shengxuan asked.
"Small animals are so cute, isn't it a bit too cruel to eat them?" Tang Rao asked.
"Not at all, these small animals, aren't they just meant to be eaten and barbecued? Besides, where are they cute at all, Xiao Hei, you must be crazy."
Tang Rao: "..."
You call them small animals, I thought you found them cute, turns out, I still don't understand you women.
"Fine, let's just catch a couple, let's go." Tang Rao nodded.
It was near evening when Tang Rao brought Li Shengxuan back to Chairman Natasha's courtyard at the Giant Merchant Star.
Most of the time was spent catching Heavenly Demons from the Outer Domain that could be eaten.
There were three in total, a White-skinned Demon Pig, an Aurora Flying Shark, and a pitch-black Giant Leg Demon Rabbit.
These three kinds of creatures were hard to find, probably because they knew they were tasty, they hid incredibly well.
"Xiao Hei, I think we should add more cumin when we grill."
"No, no, add more honey."
"Too sweet, add more cumin, pepper, and chili powder."
"Your taste is so heavy."
"It tastes good!"
Tang Rao and Li Shengxuan discussed as they walked into the courtyard.
As soon as they entered, Tang Rao and Li Shengxuan stopped in their tracks, at the stone table in the courtyard, sat three people.
Natasha, Zhao Qingtian, and Zhao Diman.
Seeing Tang Rao and Li Shengxuan, Natasha was taken aback; she thought the two of them had already left.
This was troublesome.
Zhao Qingtian rolled his eyelids, what was Tang Rao doing here?
"Boss has guests, Xiao Xuanxuan, let's go back to our room first," Tang Rao said to Li Shengxuan.
"Okay." Li Shengxuan nodded, but still sneakily glanced at Zhao Diman, this old guy had previously been beaten and tied up by her.
"Wait." Before Tang Rao could take two steps, Zhao Diman called out.
Tang Rao stopped walking, smiling as he looked towards Zhao Diman.
"Sir, is there something you need? Please wait a moment, I will go make some tea," said Tang Rao.
Chairman Natasha, aren't you going to introduce them?" Zhao Diman ignored Tang Rao and turned to Natasha.
Natasha glanced at Tang Rao and then at Li Shengxuan, her eyes filled with helplessness.
"Grand Chairman, this is Xiao Hei, my housekeeper whom I have invited to help manage household affairs when I am not around. General cleaning, cooking, and such. Besides, this is Sheng Xuan, Xiao Hei's wife," Natasha said.
Li Shengxuan herself was unaware of her true identity, so for now, she was introduced as Xiao Hei's wife.
Li Shengxuan and Tang Rao were stunned for a moment, but soon Li Shengxuan smiled broadly, finding it quite fine to be Xiao Hei's benefactor's wife.
Xiao Hei's benefactor was not only good-natured but also skilled in cooking various delicious foods, and most importantly, he provided her with drinks.
"Oh? Chairman Natasha even hired a housekeeper, I remember you always liked being alone. Why suddenly hire a housekeeper? Oh no, it's actually a pair of housekeepers," Zhao Diman squinted his eyes at Tang Rao and Li Shengxuan.
"Grand Chairman, it's perfectly normal for me to hire someone to manage household chores. Otherwise, who does the Grand Chairman think they are?" Natasha snorted.
"Since Chairman Natasha has hired housekeepers, let me introduce one instead. As for these two, I should kill them for you. After all, we are presidents, we shouldn't attract people with ulterior motives, it's always better to be cautious," Zhao Diman's voice was cold, his eyes fiercely staring at Tang Rao and Li Shengxuan.
Li Shengxuan scoffed, accusingly thinking that he had forgotten the day she fiercely beat him.
If it weren't for Xiao Hei's benefactor asking to spare him, she would have beaten him down to Hell already.
Daring to harm Sister Natasha, so arrogant!
"Zhao Diman!" Natasha slammed her palm on the stone table, "If you have something to say, say it directly. Don't be so sarcastic. You said you came for tea, now that you have had your tea, you want to kill my people. What are you really after?"
"It's nothing, just wanted to clean up our Giant Merchant Star. Some people, while being a president from the Giant Merchant Star and making money from it too, don't you think that's a bit unsightly?" Zhao Diman looked at Natasha, his eyes cold.
Natasha's heart skipped a beat, realizing that Zhao Diman knew about her selling super technology weapons to the Giant Merchant Star.
This old thief, how could he have discovered such a hidden matter?
"Grand Chairman, you must have evidence for your claims," Natasha certainly wouldn't admit it so easily.
What a joke, your word is conclusive? I must defend myself first.
"Evidence? Do I need evidence? Natasha, I tell you, I could kill you right now! Later on, even the President can do nothing about it, owing to your own duplicity," Zhao Diman leaned over the table aggressively, his murderous intent intense.
"Haha, Grand Chairman, you are powerful enough to kill me, but are you sure you can explain this to the President? Since the President appointed me as the fourth chairman, do you think she doesn't trust me? I have sworn an oath to the Heavenly Dao pledging loyalty to the President, do you think she would believe you? Zhao Diman, don't blame me if I didn't warn you, don't be too indiscreet. Moreover, don't think the President doesn't know what you are plotting, do you truly think you're eligible?" Natasha stared back at Zhao Diman unflinchingly.
Hearing Natasha's words, Zhao Diman's hands trembled violently.
Actually, his visit this time was to confirm whether the person who had tied him up yesterday was indeed the President.
From Natasha's words, knowing his ambitions, it implied that last night's occurrence indeed involved the President.
Damn it, when had he exposed himself?
He believed that he had always concealed his ambitions well.
In fact, Natasha was speaking rashly, mainly aiming to intimidate Zhao Diman.
She also didn't know that, inadvertently, she had indeed drawn a tiger's skin to bolster her stance.
