C29 See How Long You Can Keep It up
"Meow!" The little mischievous boy raised his head, his round eyes shining.
Ten minutes later, three trucks had arrived, filling up the warehouse with piles of meat.
However, the little mischievous brat just opened his mouth and once again ate all of these.
The way it ate was simple and crude, as if it swallowed the 20 odd hoodlums. It spat out black energy from its mouth, and the energy was like a tornado that dragged all the meat into its mouth.
"Tsk tsk, as expected of a Taotie."
Shen Lang pulled the little mischievous boy into his embrace and poked his furry, round belly with his finger.
It wasn't because it ate so much that its stomach bulged. This fellow's stomach had always been like this, looking exceptionally cute.
"Your appetite is a bottomless pit. You can eat however much I give you, but I feel that as long as you can maintain the basic consumption of your daily life, it will not make you so hungry that you'll lose your temper. Is it alright if I let you have a big meal like this every week in the future?"
"Meow –" The little mischievous one was unwilling and whining with grievance.
Shen Lang narrowed his eyes, "Then let's do it twice a week. In addition, I will regularly add more as per the situation, so there's no need for more. It's not like you need to appear as your real body now, so stop pretending to be so deceitful."
"Meow!" This time, the little mischievous guy straightforwardly agreed.
A thought suddenly flashed through Shen Lang's mind, the Taotie was found in the Ancient Crack Ruins, could it be … Well, he might as well try to throw this guy in next time when there's a problem with one of the spacial rifts and some unknown creatures appear.
The little naughty guy who was lazing around in Shen Lang's arms suddenly shivered.
Soon, afternoon had arrived. Shen Lang was going to Qin Family Manor to participate in their so-called important meeting.
When they arrived at the entrance of the conference hall, Qin Mingyue was already waiting for them. Shen Lang found out from her that the topic of this conference was actually about how to let the family join Alkaid Guild.
Everyone in the Qin Family paid special attention to such a major matter.
Shen Lang yawned lazily: "It's just a Alkaid Guild, I thought it was something else."
Qin Mingyue was astonished. She opened her mouth and said, "I'm not going to explain it to you. You won't be able to understand even if I tell you. Just listen to me obediently during the meeting. Let's get in touch."
Shen Lang moved closer to her: "Wife, do you really not remember what you said to me that night when you were drunk?"
Qin Mingyue stared at him blankly. A few seconds later, she blurted out, "I thought it was just a dream …"
After saying that, she hurriedly covered her mouth, a crimson flush quickly appearing on her cheeks.
Seeing Qin Mingyue's shy and helpless look, Shen Lang was really happy from the bottom of his heart. He couldn't help but smile, but Qin Mingyue immediately pinched his waist.
"Nonsense, it doesn't count. You're not allowed to think random thoughts!" Qin Mingyue glared at him sullenly.
"Uh-huh, no need to think too much …" "Heh heh."
"Meow ~" The little mischievous voice suddenly rang out.
Qin Mingyue asked curiously, "Eh? "Why do I seem to hear —"
Before he finished, Shen Lang fished in his pants pocket and took out the little naughty guy.
Qin Mingyue was dumbfounded: "Shen Lang! You... You actually put it in your pocket? "
"Don't worry, this guy is only the size of a palm and doesn't occupy a lot of space." Shen Lang ruffled the little mischievous fur of his.
"Is that what I meant!?"
Qin Mingyue was worried that Shen Lang would hurt the little guy if he didn't see nothing wrong with the little mischievous girl and climbed up Shen Lang's shoulder.
"Yo, isn't this your brother-in-law? You look pretty good today." Qin Lixuan walked in front of the two with a weird tone.
"How can I compare to you? The Incantation Hall is so red that it's turning black." Shen Lang answered casually.
"Shen Lang." Qin Mingyue frowned, "Why are you so blunt? Didn't I tell you before? Thanks to Lixuan's help, second uncle agreed to let you participate in this family meeting."
"Hehe, it was just a small effort." Qin Lixuan had a proud look on his face.
Shen Lang smiled: "Then I really have troubled you."
Qin Mingyue had thought that the two of them could finally have a good conversation, and her expression was a lot more relieved.
Qin Lixuan said to Shen Lang with a smile that didn't reach his eyes, "Brother-in-law, I feel like you look good today. How about I take a few pictures of you here?"
He specifically emphasized the word "photo".
Ye Zichen thought that he would see Shen Lang's awkward expression, but Shen Lang didn't seem to react at all.
Qin Lixuan's mouth twitched a few times: "Trying to be calm? Let me see how long you can keep it up for."
Qin Mingyue felt weird, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. She could only drag Shen Lang into the meeting room.
Not long after, all the participants had also arrived one after another.
Shen Lang was surprised to see Qin Mingyue's parents appear. Out of courtesy, he went up to greet them, "I didn't expect father-in-law to be here as well."
"Tch!" Zhou Xiuli rolled her eyes and ignored him.
Qin Yi said in a calm voice, "Are you surprised? This is my Qin Family! You actually came to our family's meeting, that is truly unexpected! "
"Aiya, why are you wasting your time talking to him?" Zhou Xiuli's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.
Shen Lang pondered in his heart. Normally, these two people also didn't have the qualifications to participate in Qin Family internal meetings, mainly because Qin Yi and his wife didn't have any family business in their hands.
And this time, they also came. If Qin Feng said that it was to give Qin Mingyue face to let them participate, no one would believe him.
Thinking of all of Qin Lixuan's underhanded actions, Shen Lang had already guessed most of it.
Shen Lang looked at Qin Lixuan, who was chatting happily with other Qin Family members in the distance: "Since you want to play around so much, then I will make the best of it. Don't cry when the time comes."
With all participants present, the meeting officially began.
Patriarch Qin Feng naturally sat in the main seat. The big round table was also surrounded by core members of Qin Family, and Qin Mingyue had a seat in it.
The other members of the staff arranged their seats according to their seniority or different degrees of importance, one after the other, along the walls.
Without a doubt, Shen Lang was sitting at the back corner. If he moved a bit more, he would be able to sit outside the back door, and the people in front of him would rather push forward to distance themselves from him, which made a lot of space around Shen Lang.
From the looks of it, those who didn't know him would think that he was a person that guarded the back door of the meeting room.
Shen Lang didn't mind that. It was good to be quiet, play with his phone and play with the little mischievous guy. As for what other people talked about in the meeting, he was too lazy to listen.
After more than an hour had passed, Shen Lang suddenly heard Qin Feng's loud voice saying:
"As for the conditions for the examination to enter the Alkaid Guild, as well as the various ways to deal with it, I think everyone has a clear understanding of the difficulty. Everyone, don't feel discouraged, as the Patriarch, I will definitely do my best."
"If anyone can think of the best way to have Qin Family successfully join the Alkaid Guild, then even if I have to give up the position of Patriarch, I would still be willing. With such a large Qin Family, being able to produce such a talent is the clan's greatest fortune. "
Qin Feng stood up and looked around, "Has anyone thought of a good way?" Is there anyone who can make me, an old man in my eighties, happy to abdicate? Ah? Do you!? "
