Man in the Ark: Revitalizing Kazdel

Chapter 378 Sister Ling, Sister Shu, our sister Xi has a lover

In a cozy courtyard in Dahuang City, the three sisters of the Sui family gathered. Shu was washing fruits and preparing the meal, while Nian sat with her legs crossed, waiting for everyone to eat.

Ling was already drunk before dinner started, and he lay down in the pavilion in the courtyard to rest, his long tail raised high, with a wine gourd hanging at the end.

This meeting between the sisters still relied on the eldest sister Ling's free-flowing ability to create a space that did not exist in reality to avoid the supervision of the court.

Otherwise, if the officials of Simaitai saw it, they would definitely make a sharp explosion and urgently notify the old Taoist priest to come and take charge.

If that old guy came, the originally warm and relaxed atmosphere of the dinner party would definitely become tense.

There have been precedents for this kind of thing, so we have to be extra careful.

Master Shu, who had just finished his busy work, slowly walked to the peach wood table filled with seasonal fruits and vegetables, reached out to pick up the white jade porcelain teapot, and poured tea into the cup in front of him.

After picking up the teacup and taking a sip to moisten his throat, Shu turned to look at Nian who had been cracking melon seeds, frowned slightly, and asked in a low voice.

"Nian, why didn't Mr. Roy come? And Sister Xi, isn't she coming to the party?"

"Don't worry, Sister Shu. Sister Xi has gone to invite Roy, and he should be here soon. You don't have to worry about it..." Nian stopped eating melon seeds and waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Isn't it always my eldest sister who is responsible for hiring people? By the way, where is your sister Ling?" Shu stood up and scanned the courtyard, looking for Ling's figure.

"Nuo, I got drunk as soon as I arrived and was lying in the pavilion and sleeping." Nian raised his chin in the direction of the pavilion and continued to eat melon seeds.

"Why is she so drunk?" Shu's brows furrowed even tighter. "Go wake her up, wash your hands and get ready for dinner."

"Oh..." The young voice responded, and he stood up and walked towards the pavilion in the yard, reaching out to wake up his drunk and snoring sister.

"Sister Ling, Sister Ling... wake up quickly."

"Um... Xiaonian, can we eat now?" Ling, with drunken eyes, propped up his upper body with a lazy expression, and spoke with a strong smell of alcohol.

"Well, Sister Shu asked me to call you for dinner." Nian didn't mind the smell of alcohol on Ling at all, and supported his elder sister who was unsteady on her steps and walked towards the dining table.

"Are Roy and Ximei here?"

"It should be soon. Sister Ling, please sit down for a while and sober up."

"Okay..." Ling, who was drunk and still not quite conscious, sat down next to Shu limply.

Nian sank back into his seat and continued to eat sunflower seeds. After waiting for a while, when Roy and Xi still hadn't arrived, Nian changed his sitting position.

Just as he was about to complain about how slow Xi Mei was, his eyes rolled and a funny idea came to his mind.

"Sister Ling, Sister Shu, before they get here, I have a secret about Sister Xi. Are you interested in hearing it?"

"Xiao Nian, there's no need to bring up the past..."

"Nian, is this something that happened recently?"

"Of course, I'll speak softly. If she hears me, I won't be able to have a peaceful meal."

Nian put down the melon seeds, leaned forward, lowered his voice and spoke mysteriously.

"Alright, tell me now, don't keep me in suspense, Xiaonian." Ling, who was originally half drunk and half awake, immediately became alert when he heard about his sister's gossip, without any sign of being drunk at all.

"Ahem... I'm just listening and helping Ximei to check things out." Shu used his causal ability to quickly calculate and roughly determined that the secret about Ximei was her personal matter.

"Our sister Xi has found her own lover. She has no appetite and is either watching him work or painting his image on canvas."

Nian described Xi's situation vividly. Of course, except for the first sentence which was true, the rest were exaggerations.

"Oh, which lucky boy is this? Have we met before? He actually caught the eye of my gorgeous and proud sister."

"That's the gentleman, isn't it?"

Ling had actually guessed it roughly, but he still asked deliberately. Shu had already figured it out.

"Yes, it was Sister Xi who took the initiative."

"Nian...what are you talking about? Do you want to die?" A cold voice sounded from behind, with extreme anger suppressed in the tone.

"It's broken!" Nian turned stiffly, looking at Ximei, who was holding the giant sword high. And Roy, who was following behind with an embarrassed look on his face, forced a smile.

"Sister Xi, you're here. Please take a seat."

"Haha...it's not too late to sit down and eat after I shut up your nonsense mouth completely."

Seeing that Xizhen was about to take action, Roy hurried forward, grabbed her wrist, and gently urged her to calm down.

"My two elder sisters are waiting for you to eat. If you have any problems, let them help you after dinner."

"...Huh, okay, then let her go for now." Xi slowly retracted the giant sword, his eyes fell on the wrist that was tightly grasped by the big hand, and a subtle look flashed in his eyes.

"Can you let go of my hand?"

"I'm sorry, it was an emergency. I hope I didn't hurt you."

"It's okay, wash your hands and sit down to eat."

"Ah."

The interaction between Roy and Xi was all seen by the two sisters present.

Ling and Shu turned their heads and looked at each other tacitly, with relieved smiles on their faces.

Ximei, whom they had always been worried about, had met someone she could entrust her life to.

Next it’s Xiaonian’s turn. I wonder who would be attracted to her with her eccentric personality?

......

As Roy and Xi sat down, the dinner officially began. Ling and Shu gave special care to Roy, who was about to become a real family.

Shu kept putting food into Roy's bowl, fearing that he would be hungry, even though the bowl was already full of food.

Ling put his arm around Roy's shoulders and invited him to drink with him, as if he wanted to get him drunk and then trick him into talking.

Faced with the two people's warm hospitality, Roy was a little overwhelmed. Just as he was about to ask Xi for help, he was stopped by the wine glass that Ling handed to his lips.

Nian huddled in the corner, observing the development of the situation at the dinner table, based on her understanding of her sister.

Ximei would definitely not be able to bear it and would come to rescue her lover. She felt very sorry for Roy.

Xi noticed Nian's undisguised teasing look, glared at her fiercely, and interrupted her two sisters.

"Sister Shu, there's no need to help him pick up the food. He'll get it himself if he's hungry, and his bowl is almost full."

"Sister Ling, Roy doesn't drink much, so don't let him drink too much. He still has official business to attend to tomorrow, and it wouldn't be good if he got drunk."

Xi picked up the chopsticks and put some food from Roy's bowl into her own bowl, helping him share some of the food.

Then he snatched the wine glass from Ling's hand that was originally about to be handed to Roy's mouth, and drank it all in one gulp.

After a glass of wine, her fair, jade-like cheeks flushed. I don't know if it was the alcohol or because she was embarrassed by her bold behavior just now.
