Qingque stood there in a daze, blinking as if waking from a dream, her expression slightly blank and confused.
PS:
Chapter 441 Subordinates are not allowed to kiss their superiors.
The color of moonlight, the fragrance of women.
Tears break the sword, how long is the love?
There was a lot of... cough, Jingliu wasn't present, but the atmosphere under the quiet, bright moonlight had a touch of the sentiment of passing through emotional barriers and eternal regret.
The jade corridor cast long shadows. March 7th and Fu Xuan breathed very softly, as if afraid of disturbing something. The entire courtyard suddenly became completely silent, with only the faint chirping of insects and cicadas.
Until Qingque spoke, her voice, though languid as ever, was crisp like biting into rock candy, accompanied by her bewildered little eyes and her adorable, confused, head-scratching expression.
The eerie and strange atmosphere changed again.
"How did I get here? What happened? I remember I was in the library, touching... working hard."
She scratched the back of her head with her fingertips, and halfway through her sentence, she realized it was the Grand Diviner, and Qingque immediately changed her words.
"Little Sparrow, how are you feeling now? Do you feel anything is wrong? Headache, nausea, having strange dreams or something?"
Qiong coughed twice and asked with concern.
"Well……"
Qingque rested her chin on one hand, her fingertips gently touching her lower lip, while her other arm encircled her waist, the dark green cloud-patterned sleeves swaying in lively arcs with her movements.
"It seems like that happened, I just lay down—"
The girl playfully drew out the last syllable, sounding both charmingly naive and embarrassed.
"I fell asleep and had a really, really long dream... In my dream, I made a fortune, hehe~"
"So, what exactly happened? Old Qiong, you still haven't told me how you ended up here?"
Qingque was completely bewildered and couldn't figure out what was going on. She felt a sense of disorientation, like someone who had just woken up from a deep nap with no memory of what had happened.
"I'm glad you're alright."
Qiong picked up Cangyuehu and waved it in front of Qingque: "This is what happened, I received..."
"Cough cough!"
Before he could even begin explaining, Fu Xuan, who had been keeping a straight face, suddenly coughed violently.
"Lord Diviner, are you alright?"
Qingque blinked and quickly asked with concern.
She then glanced at the time on the jade tablet and advised in a languid tone:
"You're still in the office at this hour. Although your work is important, you must also pay attention to the balance between work and rest. Don't overwork yourself. You are the pillar of the entire Taibu Si."
Her persuasion caused Fu Xuan's fake cough to turn into a real cough.
Do you think I'm working overtime and worrying for who I'm doing all this for?
Fu Xuan shuddered, his face gradually darkening with grief and indignation, filled with murderous intent.
"Qing——que——!"
Struggling to keep his face taut, Fu Xuan gritted his teeth and shouted out each word slowly and deliberately, the last syllable trembling as a sign of suppressed anger.
"Ah! Ah? I'm here!?"
It's like the fear of your mom suddenly calling you by your full name after a whole day of playing around at home, multiplied by 10.
Qingque's light gray-brown twin ponytails exploded, accompanied by small tremors. She suddenly raised her small hand, and the white velvet ornament in her hair trembled into a startled snowball. Her whole body shrank into a Q-version emoji.
Despite being roughly the same height, Fu Xuan exuded a domineering aura, his cold face radiating murderous intent, his voice as chilling as the wind.
"I caught you dozing off at work again!"
"Your performance in auxiliary flight path divination and mapping this month is still 30% short!"
"You're the only file left to submit for last quarter's review!"
"..."
The barrage of reprimands, like a series of cannonballs, reminded Qiong of her life as a corporate slave before she transmigrated. San Yueqi looked at Qingque with not much pity in her eyes.
"Also, the documents I asked you to prepare..."
"Didn't you say it would be fine to hand it over to you by the day after tomorrow at the latest?"
The bluebird, trembling like a quail, weakly protested, its voice slurred.
"Last time, latest time! Couldn't you have given it to me earlier?"
Fu Xuan stood with his hands on his hips, his burning anger seemingly swelling once more.
"Last, latest?! Preparation is key, couldn't you have given it to me earlier?! Where's your initiative?! Why didn't you leave last when I was supposed to leave work?!"
"You dare talk back!"
"My Lordship, I was wrong!"
With tears blurring her vision, Qingque slid to her knees at lightning speed. The leader was clearly in a rage, and speaking recklessly would only prolong the time she would be criticized and denounced.
"How dare you talk back? Don't you know the first rule of Luofu's officialdom: subordinates are not allowed to kiss their superiors on the lips!"
Xing stood beside Fu Xuan, automatically adopting the role of a lackey of a leader, using his power to intimidate others.
"Hey, is it okay for a boss to kiss his subordinates on the lips?"
When Xing spoke, Qingque still had the courage to reply, and not only did she, but she did.
"..."
Fu Xuan's face turned red, whether from anger or other factors, she was a little weak after being interrupted by Xing, so she simply pointed to the library office.
"Qingque, get to work now! I want to see your performance targets met and your case review file today!"
"Yes, yes, yes! I will definitely hand it in today!"
The obedient little chick nodded like it was pecking at rice, and Qingque hurriedly ran towards the office, not forgetting to wave and greet Qiong.
Rushing Qingque to work overtime, Fu Xuan left with a "goodbye" and turned to leave.
Xing, Qiong, and March 7 exchanged a glance, their expressions varying.
"In short, the matter has been perfectly resolved!"
Qiong clapped her hands.
"Is this perfect?!"
March 7th blushed, pouted her little mouth angrily, and glared at Qiong with her hands on her hips.
"Ah Qi, do you want to try the fusion technique?"
Xing took out the Tapora earring.
"No! Don't! Eek! Don't come near me!"
On March 7th, a star, who was grinning and clutching an earring, frantically tried to avoid her.
Come on, come on~
Xing spoke like an old man trying to trick a little girl into eating a lollipop, and pounced on March 7, causing the latter to run away.
The two girls chased each other down the street, playfully fighting their way back to the courtyard.
Unfortunately, in the end, Xing didn't put the earring on March 7th.
and so.
Tonight's featured character is the fusion of Star and Seele—Star Seele!
The delicate gray hair, resembling wolf fur, blends with the subtle dark blue hues within the gradient of sea blue, creating a deep, muted blue-gray. This medium-length hair perfectly combines a cute and aloof look.
Golden eyes and blue eyes intertwine to form a crystal green.
……
The day after tomorrow.
As dusk falls, a gentle breeze sweeps across the land, and scattered morning stars twinkle in the sky, announcing the start of nightlife.
Changletian Street, Xuanguang Avenue, lanterns like stars, and crowds thronging the streets.
In the city center of the night market, a barbecue stall sign made of crookedly pasted printed letters of different colors and sizes is surrounded by a ring of breathing lights.
"Don't miss out! Certified by Shi Wang Si with new energy charcoal grilling! Even the fortune teller and the general raved about it! It won't cause cancer or lower your sanity!"
Xing sat on a white plastic chair at the food stall, holding a megaphone and shouting out his wares.
"One sip refreshes the mind, two sips keep you tireless, three sips grant immortality, oh yeah~ Hey! Ah Qi, why are you pulling me?"
"If you keep shouting like this, the Earth Balance Division will surround us."
On March 7th, he covered Xing's mouth, snatched the trumpet, and, holding it to his own mouth, smirked as he explained to the terrified people on the celestial boats around him:
"Don't worry, everyone. I was just joking. Our barbecue has absolutely nothing to do with immortality!"
"Young lady, what kind of meat are you grilling at your stall?"
A male character from the Blue Immortal Boat muttered to himself, "This smells really good... but why does it feel a bit intoxicating?"
"We have venison, mutton, pork, and chicken!"
Xing pointed to the pile of meat skewers stacked into a small mountain and introduced them.
The deer is the Abundant Mystic Deer, and the pigs, sheep, and chickens are all Abundant Spirit Beasts. They look like pigs, cows, and sheep. Xing tried all kinds of kebabs before setting up the stall, so there's no problem!
"Is this an automatic barbecue grill? Wow~ I've never seen an automatic barbecue grill like this before? What brand is it? It looks really useful!"
Many passersby were attracted by the unusual sight of the barbecue stalls.
The barbecue stall had five grills, from which blue-green flames shot out.
The pieces of meat that had been cut off by the Sword King Dragon God during the battle with the Abundant Black Deer were now being chopped up, skewered, and licked by the fiery tongues, making a soft "sizzling" sound.
Even though no one touched it, the meat skewers, splattering with oil from grilling, rolled over on their own, golden fat dripping onto the fire, creating wisps of blue-gold smoke that carried a unique aroma.
Cumin, chili, and spices floated up automatically, the seasonings perfectly blended into the flames.
"This is self-developed and an exclusive brand. Everyone should try it!"
Xing puts her hands on her hips.
If people observe for themselves, they will find that there are imperial edicts and talismans pasted under each barbecue grill.
Yesterday, Qiong went to Xueyi and helped her regain her puppet body and retrieve her Black Tower puppet. At the same time, she asked Xueyi to seal Suiyang and the others on the barbecue, just like the tail was sealed on Huohuo.
"Give me two skewers of venison."
Some of the people outside the community shouted.
"Okay!"
Xing sat down in front of the payment QR code and snapped his fingers: "Number 5, serve the food!"
The grilled meat skewers floated to the small table where the outsider sat amidst the surprised gazes of the surrounding people.
Solar energy, much like a human moving a heavy object, alters the energy balance within a region, thus enabling the movement of objects.
The barbecue stalls gradually attracted more customers. An elderly man from the Chiming tribe stroked his beard while waiting for venison skewers, a fox-woman girl held up a handkerchief while waiting for spirit bird wings, and students from the Immortal Boat Group had a group meal...
"Wow, Old Qiong, this business is pretty good!"
Not far from the stall, on a small platform, between two rocking old men, there was a small round table with a teapot, desserts, snacks, and meat skewers on it.
Qingque's soft little tongue swept across the corner of her lips as she took small bites of the fragrant meat skewers.
"We can just earn some pocket money, but if we really want to make big money, we'll have to build our Imperial Jade Group."
Qiong sipped her milk tea.
"Sigh, I can't stand hearing this now. If it weren't for that moment of ambition, I wouldn't have been possessed by Suiyang, and none of what happened afterward would have happened."
The bluebird sighed.
