Star Farming, the eldest lady relies on alchemy to counterattack

Chapter 396 Visiting the Nine-Tailed Fox
Ning Xuan frowned and asked Yu Mingche, "Didn't you have someone cut my scene out?"

Back during the Alchemist Competition, Ying Yaoshi had instructed Yan Fuzhen to protect Ning Xuan and prevent her appearance from being leaked. Later, Yu Mingche came to Ning Xuan's side and also dealt with those reports that might expose Ning Xuan's appearance.

"I'm sorry, Master, when the military propaganda department received this video, they were just about to report the situation of this large-scale battle to the public. The war videos that have been preserved on other battlefields are all images of human defeats and heavy casualties. If they are leaked, they will inevitably affect public morale and the new round of recruitment plans."

"Only Lan Xin's match was extremely intense and evenly matched, and she ultimately won. So we unanimously decided to post the video on the StarNet."

"At the same time, the Life Research Institute received the active genes of a semi-transformation SSS-level alien beast submitted by Lan Xin. The usually aloof and mysterious Life Research Institute forwarded the video on its official website, and it got out of control. Ying Shuai had no choice but to withdraw the video."

Yu Mingche has already understood the whole story and can only say that it was caused by the times and was unavoidable.

After hearing Yu Mingche's explanation, Ning Xuan didn't think about it anymore. The main characters in that video were the Starry Sky Beast and Lan Xin. There weren't many angles that showed her. People who had seen her before could recognize her based on some guesses, but people who had never seen her before couldn't possibly describe her appearance from that blurry image.

Of course, this only refers to ordinary people; it cannot be ruled out that some people have special abilities.

Ning Xuan watched the video of Lan Xin's interview. His face was unnaturally pale, and his brows furrowed from time to time. When he got up to leave, his legs even went weak and he almost fell. There were comments flashing above the video from time to time, most of them expressing their sympathy for Lan Xin's injury. Judging from his condition, he was seriously injured and in pain, and it was really not easy for him to be dragged out for an interview. Some people also asked in the comments who Lan Xin's owner was, and urged the owner to treat General Lan's injury as soon as possible. After all, General Lan was so powerful, and his owner was really lucky to have soared to the sky with him.

Yu Mingche's face turned pale with anger when he saw the comments. His knuckles clenched so tightly they cracked. Unfortunately, the video wasn't live, so he couldn't edit the comments. Otherwise, Yu Mingche would have definitely given Lan Xin a piece of his mind. What did he mean by saying his master got lucky? It was clearly Lan Xin who got lucky. If Ning Xuan hadn't linked him, would he have had a chance to go to the battlefield? This time, if Ning Xuan hadn't saved him, would he have survived the battlefield?
Ning Xuan didn't really care about these comments. The military was intentionally promoting Lan Xin for the autumn recruitment season, and it was normal for ordinary people on the StarNet to be influenced by this environment and idolize Lan Xin.

After returning to the Central Star, Ning Xuan used the excuse of recuperating from her injuries to close her doors to visitors, turning away most of them. However, there are always some favors that cannot be refused. For example, the Blue Chairman of the Orc Association used the excuse of visiting the younger members of his clan to sneak into Ning Xuan's villa.

President Lan watched as Kurama slowly and methodically kneaded the dough. The originally bumpy dough quickly became smooth under his kneading and pressing.

Even in a place like Central Star, where the powerful and wealthy gather, only a very small number of people can afford to eat refined grains like wheat and rice.

The kitchen was filled with the sweet aroma of cream and vanilla. The dough that Nine-Tailed Fox kneaded was probably not ordinary; it contained more precious ingredients.

"Little Nine, look at you! You used to seem gentler and more charming than Lan Xin, and you were quite good-looking too. I thought you were going to be successful, but why haven't you made any progress yet? Lan Xin has already been awarded the rank of General, aren't you worried at all? Do you even know what you're here for?" President Lan looked at Nine with a disappointed expression.

Behind President Lan were two handsome young men, one of whom was Lan Xin's half-brother. The two young men looked around the Nine-Tails' kitchen with curiosity. The kitchen was large, and there were several servants busy inside. They all followed the Nine-Tails' orders and treated the Nine-Tails with great respect.

“I know, we’re all here to serve our master. Uncle Lan, Lan Xin and I are very grateful to you for using Chairman Wang’s connections to assign us such a good master.” Nine-Tails said as she busied herself with her work.

Nine-Tailed Fox's long, slender fingers were very dexterous; he had already divided the dough into small pieces, each of which he had sculpted into an exquisite shape.

President Lan noticed that he was sculpting a little fox. With a gentle flick of his fingertips, a fox ear popped out. He used a bamboo skewer to meticulously carve out the texture of the fur, each line with just the right depth, as if the fur would tremble in the wind at any moment.

Finally, he dipped a tiny bit of edible gold powder in and dotted it on the fox's eyes, instantly bringing those cunning eyes to life.

"You were trained in the underground training center, and they even taught you these skills there?" Chairman Lan asked, his gaze sweeping over the lifelike pastries.

He reached out to poke the white tiger-shaped thing, but Nine-Tailed Fox slapped him away without hesitation, saying, "Don't touch it."

"The training center only teaches rules; these are things Master instructed me on. Master likes cute things, especially the little animal-shaped desserts I make. They make Master happy." Nine-Tailed Fox thought of Ning Xuan, her eyes filled with a warm smile.

Nine-Tails showed no reaction to President Lan's words that he was useless, completely absorbed in his own world.

"Brother Nine-Tailed Fox, the menu you prepared is ready. There are still five minutes before the head of the family's mealtime. Please come and check it." A young servant came over and said to Nine-Tailed Fox.

"Uncle Lan, you said you wanted to visit me, but you've already done so. The master is about to have his meal, so why don't you go back first?" Nine-Tailed Fox subtly gave him the hint to leave.

When President Lan heard what Nine-Tailed Fox said, he couldn't help but smile broadly. "Nine-Tailed Fox, since you're here, how can you not pay your respects to your master? I also want to thank Miss Ning in person for her support of Lan Xin. Lan Yu, sake, hurry up and help serve the dishes in a bit."

President Lan originally intended to visit Ning Xuan under the guise of visiting her, but was refused. It was Lan Yu who suggested that they change the pretext and say that they wanted to visit Jiuwei. Unexpectedly, they were allowed in, but as soon as they arrived, they were taken to the kitchen to see Jiuwei.

President Lan didn't consider at all whether his actions would cause trouble for Nine-Tails. Nine-Tails sighed, not wanting to send him away any longer, so he could only ask him to wait there while he went to report the matter to his master.
