After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 586 Cause and Effect, Hot Pot with Dry White Wine

It was more than half an hour later when the vehicle started.

Jiang Hanying tidied her slightly disheveled clothes, licked her slightly swollen lips with satisfaction, and turned to look at her cheap master who was driving seriously, though his lips weren't much better than hers.

"Is everything finished in Beijing? Do I need to go back there again?"

"No need. Unless there are special circumstances, there's no need to go back before the New Year."

Jiang Hanying raised her hand and made a peace sign, "Then will you come with me to the film set tomorrow to shoot a movie?"

Feeling the expectant look in Li Chengxiao's eyes, he nodded and replied, "Okay."

"By the way, I also noticed that the one in the backyard has been sneaking out these past two days, going out at night and not returning until the early hours of the morning."

Seeing no surprise from her cheap owner, Jiang Hanying said, "You knew all along?"

“Yes, I’ve noticed that too. I suspect there’s some special communication mechanism between them that allows them to arrange for him to do certain things.”

Jiang Hanying couldn't help but click her tongue, "Then why did you let them contact each other..."

As Li Chengxiao drove, he explained unhurriedly, "Firstly, I want to study how they communicate. Secondly, the more He makes the Grey Robe do, the more exposed he will be. We can still withstand this level of risk."

Jiang Hanying could understand why her cheap master didn't care. The one sealed on the back of the stone embryo's hand was nothing. Their ultimate goal was to find the real thing by following the clues!
"I also met someone in Beijing who has some special abilities with his eyes."

"Eyes?" Jiang Hanying immediately became interested. If the cheap owner, who had regained some of his memories, called them special, it meant that even in the Canglan Realm, no one had ever seen eyes with similar functions. "How are they special?"

“That person was someone Yuan Qingzhuo had recruited to work for him. He lived in the Yuan family home. Song Ciyuan and I found him when we went to the Yuan family home to investigate. He had also helped capture the monkey before. He is normally blind, but he can see things that ordinary people cannot. He recognized Song Ciyuan at a glance as the monkey.”

"Spiritual Eye?"

"It should be more than that; he also once saw Yuan Qingzhuo."

What do you see?

"Many lines."

"Wire?"

"Yes, that's what I thought of right away..."

"Causal lines!"

Li Chengxiao nodded slightly, "Whether in the Canglan Realm or in this world, He has intervened in the karma of too many people, directly or indirectly, so there are many karmic threads entangled around Him!"

"So, the person you just mentioned, were their eyes natural?"

"No, he said he had a strange encounter when he was a child, but he didn't say anything more."

Jiang Hanying nodded in understanding: "That's normal, after all, it's his biggest secret. Is there anything else fun?"

Hearing her enthusiastic tone, Li Chengxiao simply recounted everything he had seen and heard at the Yuan family manor, as well as his own speculations.

Jiang Hanying was completely stunned by what she heard.

Finally, unable to contain himself any longer, he exclaimed, "They really know how to make a fuss!"

Anyway, she definitely doesn't have that much patience; she's already gone through so much trouble just in the initial planning stages.

However, the fact that he's willing to go to such great lengths for the initial planning shows that his ambitions are even greater!
I don't want to think about it anymore. I'll leave this brain-taxing thing to my cheap owner.

All she needs to do is act when the time is right!

By the time she drove home from the airport, the city lights were already on. Cooking and eating at this hour would undoubtedly be very late, and she was eager to get her cheap owner into bed for some fun!

The kissing and hugging in the car before was just a warm-up.

"How about we go out to eat?"

"It's a bit late to go out to eat at this hour. I'll go check the kitchen first."

Jiang Hanying followed closely inside, saying, "I've been eating the crew's meals these past few days, and I haven't touched much of what's in the fridge."

Li Chengxiao reached out and opened the refrigerator door, rummaging through the various ingredients inside; some of them had already gone bad.

Jiang Hanying saw it too, touched her nose and silently brought over the trash can.

Li Chengxiao threw the inedible ingredients into the trash can, and took out the other things that needed to be dealt with as soon as possible and put them on the table. After cleaning the refrigerator from top to bottom, not only was the trash can full, but the table was also almost piled up.

"Want some hot pot?"

He figured he'd be busy filming on set for the next few days, and he probably wouldn't have time to deal with the things on the table that needed to be dealt with quickly.

With so many kinds of ingredients, the only solution I could come up with was hot pot, which can cook almost anything, to solve the problem all at once.

Moreover, eating it while it's hot saves time.

Jiang Hanying: "Eat!"

Extremely loud!
"Help me prepare the ingredients."

Jiang Hanying quickly rolled up her sleeves.

The two of them busied themselves in the kitchen for almost half an hour before finally sitting down in front of the boiling hot pot broth.

"Wait, I'll go get a bottle of wine." Jiang Hanying had just sat down when she jumped up again and ran out. She came back a moment later with a bottle of dry white wine in her hand. After sitting down, she didn't even use a corkscrew. She just raised her hand and cut the wine with a smooth edge.

Li Chengxiao's eyes twitched at her decisive action. He then got up, fetched two wine glasses, picked up the bottle of wine that was shorter than expected and couldn't be preserved, so he examined it. The alcohol content seemed decent. As he poured it into the glass, he casually asked, "Where did this wine come from?"

“Yesterday, an actor from the crew finished filming and gave this to everyone before leaving, saying that it was a product he endorsed.”

Jiang Hanying waited until he poured the wine, then picked up her glass and smelled it. "It smells quite good."

After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp, smacked his lips, and said, "It's sweet and sour, quite delicious."

Li Chengxiao: "...Drink slowly."

He didn't intend to pour any more; instead, he put some meat into the pot to cook.

"Eat something first."

After finishing his hot pot with a bottle of dry white wine, Li Chengxiao got up, cleaned up the mess on the table, took off his apron, and turned to look at the little tail who had been following behind him and occasionally poking his back to urge him on.

The person slowly looked up and asked, "Are you drunk?"

"No, I'm just in a hurry, there's still one thing I haven't eaten!"

Jiang Hanying snorted softly, blinked, took a step forward, and buried her head in her cheap master's arms. "Hug!" She smelled the strong smell of hot pot mixed with white wine on the two of them, and then ordered, "Go take a shower."

Li Chengxiao reached out and gently lifted her up by pinching her waist. As soon as her feet left the ground, Jiang Hanying quickly wrapped herself around him. Seeing her Adam's apple gently sliding so close to his, she leaned in and bit it without thinking.

The hand on her waist tightened suddenly. Li Chengxiao tilted his head back slightly, enduring the unrestrained yet reluctant nibbling at his Adam's apple. He put one arm around Jiang Hanying's waist, quickly turned off the kitchen light with the other, and then closed the kitchen door behind him. He walked along the corridor with unusually hurried steps toward the master bedroom.

A moment later, the sound of rushing water began...
