Chapter 315 Two Unpalatable Light Bulbs
The news that Liang He had single-handedly defeated an army of thousands spread rapidly within the rebel headquarters.

When Li Xiao saw her and Elius come to eat, he immediately busied himself with preparing the dishes he had prepared in advance, saying that he wanted to reward the great contributor.

"Liang He, you've really made us Blue Star people proud! You're amazing!"

As Li Xiao gradually became more familiar with Liang He, he grew bolder and spoke without any restraint.

Seeing the thumbs-up he gave Liang He, Elius snorted but didn't chase him away.

"It was just a fluke. Brother Li, what delicious food have you prepared? It smells so good."

Having just won an unprecedented victory and utterly humiliated the rebels, Liang He stood in the small kitchen, but looked like a kitten eager to steal some treats, its eyes fixed on the delicious food.

Seeing this, Elius, who was standing to the side, instantly smiled, his originally indifferent eyes looking at Liang He with tenderness, taking in her every move.

"They are all home-style dishes: braised pork, stewed pig's trotters, steamed fish, as well as side dishes and peanut, lotus root and pork rib soup."

Liang He has never liked waste, and even in the rebel territory, she prepares the amount of food according to the number of people eating.

It's basically a fixed group of four, including Li Xiao and Ya Sha. Li Xiao always prepares a generous amount of food, so four dishes and a soup are just right.

"That's great, shall I help out?"

Liang He was really hungry and wanted to take matters into her own hands to speed up the cooking process.

"Need not!"

Li Xiao immediately stopped Liang He and shooed her aside with a spatula.

"There's no reason for the champion to cook right after the match. Don't worry, it's mainly just steaming a fish and stir-frying some side dishes, it'll be quick!"

The braised pork belly, stewed pig's trotters, and soup were all prepared in advance, as they become more fragrant the longer they are stewed.

Steaming a fish only takes about ten minutes, and you can also stir-fry side dishes at the same time, so there's no need for Liang He's help at all.

"OK then."

Seeing that Li Xiao insisted, Liang He didn't want to spoil his fun, so she prepared to find some food for Anye so that it could eat when it came back after playing enough.

"Are you planning to prepare dinner for the Night Wolf King? There's a big iron basin over there; I've already cleaned it and chopped it into small pieces."

In the past few days, Li Xiao had seen Liang He personally prepare food for the Dark Night Wolf King, so he had already prepared the basic tasks in advance.

"Thank you so much!"

Liang He walked in the direction Li Xiao pointed and immediately saw the clean meat and bones, as well as vegetables and fruits.

These were all the ingredients she usually used when preparing food for the Dark Night Wolf King.

"Speaking of which, where did Dark Night go?"

Elius and Nick were watching from a high place, so they didn't know that Liang He had let the Dark Night Wolf King go out to play by himself.

He had just been wondering why he hadn't seen the Dark Night Wolf King, but Liang He wasn't worried at all.

"I sent it to play with its friends, it should be back in a bit."

Liang He offered a brief, nonchalant explanation, but Ya Sha, standing nearby, sensed that something was amiss.

If Liang He really could communicate with animals without any problems, and even learned about the secret existence of the Spirit Deer Beastmen from them...

Could the Dark Wolf King have told her something else, or could Liang He have used this opportunity to have the Dark Wolf King, who wouldn't arouse suspicion, do something for her?
"You're really letting it run around everywhere?"

Elius chuckled and was just about to say a few more words when Li Xiao started clamoring for the food to be served.

Four dishes and a soup were served piping hot, and Liang He filled a large bowl with rice for herself, probably because she was really hungry.

"Eat more meat to replenish your energy."

Elius felt very happy every time he saw Liang He eating with great relish, and he felt inexplicably healed.

"Thank you, you eat too."

Seeing that Elius was only serving himself food, Liang He took the initiative to put a piece of the best part of the fish in his bowl. Looking at the fish meat with the fewest bones and the most tender flesh, Elius felt a warm glow in his heart, a feeling that was beyond words.

"Okay, let's eat together."

Li Xiao and Ya Sha felt a little uneasy during the meal, as if they were two super big third wheels.

Unfortunately, Liang He had no awareness of this at all, and they didn't dare to tell Elius, so in the end they could only swallow the 'dog food' without feeling any taste in it.

"Ouch!"

The Dark Wolf King suddenly appeared, successfully defusing the incredibly awkward situation.

"Dark Night, you're back."

Liang He, who had just finished eating, saw it return and immediately got up to bring over the Dark Night Wolf King's food bowl, which was warm and just right.

"Ouch~"

The Dark Wolf King, whose fur was still cool after its outing, first rubbed against Liang He's palm to amuse her before starting to eat its dinner.

While Liang He's attention was focused on the Dark Night Wolf King, Li Xiao quickly ate the last few bites of rice, then put the bowl and chopsticks back in the sink and shrank back into a corner to become invisible.

“Ms. Liang He, I have something to take care of, so please wait outside.”

Aysa, who was also restless, made an excuse to go wait outside the small kitchen.

She had given Liang He sleeping pills before, and today she wanted to prevent her from winning the competition, so she's feeling guilty right now.

"What are you thinking?"

Seeing the human surveillance leave, Elius immediately stepped forward, squatted down next to Liang He, and watched the Dark Wolf King huff and puff, eating meat and gnawing on bones.

He could tell that Liang He had done it on purpose, trying to force Ya Sha away; otherwise, why would she have put on such a show of 'deep affection' with him?

"Drowell and three other corps commanders will be back in two days."

Liang He held nothing back when facing Elius.

Elius, who heard the news from her, was surprised as expected.

He knew that Liang He wouldn't sit idly by and wait for her fate; she was definitely plotting something. Even today's sudden competition was probably intentional, with hidden meaning.

"You're planning to leave before they arrive?"

Elius had been kept occupied by Nick for the past two days, so he was unaware of Liang He's actions and even less aware of her plans.

I simply thought it would be more advantageous to leave earlier after she mentioned that Droville and the others were going back to headquarters.

Why leave so early?

Unexpectedly, Liang He tilted her head, turned her gaze to Elius, and smiled slightly.

"The host's hospitality is so kind that I couldn't refuse their invitation to the banquet; how could I possibly turn down?"

She's not only going, but she's going to go in a grand and impressive way.

The goal is to get Drewell to genuinely invite her to attend.

"So that's why you did that today..."

Elius blinked as if suddenly realizing something.

She was deliberately proving her worth in front of everyone, and also telling Drovell that her abilities far exceeded their expectations.

Only in this way would she be qualified to sit at the negotiating table, rather than being an appendage of Elius.

"Yes, he must have received the message by now."

If Nick hadn't reported the day's events to Drewville by the time it took to eat a meal, she would have to question his loyalty.

Haha, do you feel like I'm updating earlier and earlier? That's because I'm saving up the manuscript for my new book! Hehe, you guys can look forward to it!
