Fei Tu Hu Po nodded slightly: "I have indeed encountered it... but is it appropriate for you to say it like that? Won't it cause public outrage?"
"Why be afraid of this? We, especially you, are very powerful now... And if a person is powerful enough, then her behavior will become the new standard."
Fei Tu Hu Po blushed slightly as she listened: "Hey, I don't think I'm as good as you say..."
"If you don't believe me, go and try it." Kotobuki Toru picked up another bottle of cola from the table, without opening it, just so his hands wouldn't be empty: "Let's go and chat with everyone. You can just hold the cup like this, and we can eat as we walk."
"Are you really coming?"
"There might be many more opportunities like this in the future... so it would be better for you to demystify these kinds of occasions all at once?"
As she said this, Kotobuki Toru had already taken many steps in the direction of Kotobuki... Seeing this, Hitoko had no choice but to grit her teeth and quickly follow.
Then, the two of them walked around and casually picked up food from the nearby table and stuffed it into their mouths.
When Hitotsu Kohaku walked up to Kotobuki with a lobster in one hand, Kotobuki was standing in the middle of a group of people, with a gentle and polite smile, completely unlike the dazed look she usually showed in front of everyone.
Hitoko looked at the wine glass and lobster tail in her hand, still feeling a little embarrassed, but Kotobuki responded to Hitoko with a happy face, completely ignoring the food in Hitoko's hand, "Little Hitoko, eat more tonight!"
Hitotsu Amber looked at Kotobuki's clean lips and said, "By the way, Teacher, why haven't you eaten? Could it be... that TouTou is lying to me, and that you're not allowed to eat at this party?"
"Huh? How could you not let us eat?"
Kotobuki chuckled, "The reason I'm not eating is that I ate too much while I was tasting the food, and I'm trying my best not to throw up..."
"Good luck... By the way, teacher, do you think there's anything strange about me?" Before leaving, Fei Tu Hu Po didn't forget to collect other people's opinions of her.
Kotobuki asked, puzzled, "That's strange? I think you look great, Little Amber, very beautiful... What do you mean by strange?"
"Isn't it strange that I'm holding a cup in one hand and a lobster tail in the other?"
"It's not surprising. Look at the people around you, aren't they all holding their cups like you?" Kotobuki chuckled, glancing suggestively around her.
Fei Tu Hu Po followed her gaze and, sure enough, when she came over just now, she saw that everyone in this circle was holding their cups with perfect posture, but in just a few words... they had changed their posture to holding the bowl of the cup and raising their cups to her in greeting.
Fei Tu Hu Po's stage fright shattered instantly.
Are the etiquette standards at real social cocktail parties really this flexible?
Moreover, it wasn't just the group currently surrounding Kotobuki who were flexible; later, accompanied by Kotobuki Toru, Hitoko Amber met with the staff of Venus and the photographers who had taken her wedding photos that afternoon.
This group was even more outrageous. They assumed that Hitoko Amber might be the carefree type, so instead of showing respect by holding the glass the way Hitoko Amber does, they just grabbed the bottle and started toasting... The core message was: since Miss Hitoko doesn't understand those formalities, let's just throw them all away.
After walking around for a while, Fei Tu Hu Po no longer felt timid and afraid to eat or drink. She also exclaimed, "Everyone is such a good person... They actually went to this lengths to consider my feelings."
Because I ate a lot of grilled meats while greeting people around, now they've even started serving whole roasted lamb at the buffet!
"It's not just because everyone is kind."
Kotobuki Toru, thanks to Hitoko Amber's influence, even got to eat a whole roasted lamb today: "Only those with real ability can earn everyone's respect. Even if people don't respect your ideas much, they will definitely give you face and won't offend you... Now you understand?"
Fei Tu Hu Po nodded: "I understand... As long as you have the strength, you can eat whatever you want at the buffet social party. I can already eat roast whole lamb now that I have two crowns, so when I win three crowns, I'll be eating Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, right?"
"Well, you're not wrong in that way..."
Kotobuki Toru was a little confused by Hitoko Amber's thought process, but he still continued to encourage her: "But in general, Amber, you don't need to learn any of these aristocratic etiquette and table manners at all. As long as you continue to work hard to become stronger and achieve better results, these etiquettes will give way to you."
“But I don’t think we necessarily have to achieve better results.” Hitoko raised an eyebrow and smiled at Kotobuki Toru, her smile carrying an ambiguous atmosphere: “Just now, someone didn’t even know I was a two-time Japanese champion, and when they greeted me, they called me Mrs. Kotobuki… That was a respectful tone, wasn’t it? Seems like this path isn’t bad?”
Qin Chuitou blushed: "Don't think about such crooked ways, okay... What you're talking about is called 'borrowing the tiger's power'."
Hibiki Amber grinned: "Then why didn't you deny it just now! Your face was all wrinkled from laughing!"

Chapter 398 Gossip at the Dinner Table
But regardless of whether everyone respects Hito Kohaku because she is a Double Crown racehorse girl, or because of the ambiguous signals emanating from Hito Kohaku and Toru Kotobuki being inseparable all day today.
In short, the longer the buffet dinner went on, the more it suited the habits and tastes of Fei Tu Hu Po and others.
Even towards the end, the band that had been playing violin and piano music went offstage for a break, and when they came back on stage, they were replaced by pop singers and rock bands.
Fei Tu Amber quite liked and adapted to this atmosphere and environment. She also had a good appetite for the buffet. She boldly spread wasabi on the golden and crispy roasted chicken wings, and evenly spread caviar on the surface of the tender roasted whole lamb. She even ingeniously mixed yogurt with hot and sour soup. Every bite was a challenge to the chef's patience and the values of the nearby guests.
However, no one actually pointed out the problem with the Scarlet Amber.
When she was about half full, Fei Tu Hu Po finally ran into the elegant lady who had come to eat barbecue. As soon as they met, the lady laughed: "Indeed, rock music is a lady's hobby. That violin music just now was so unappetizing..."
Fei Tu Hu Po puffed out her chest, a hint of pride in her voice: "I didn't expect you, Dong Na, to like this kind of atmosphere too... Now that you mention it, does that mean my lifestyle is already much more advanced than that of you rich people?"
"Has this unruly little stray cat learned to wag its tail?"
The noblewoman gave Fei Tu Amber a disdainful thumbs-up gesture, saying, "When you ever attend a real aristocratic banquet, your self-created 'dark cuisine' will probably make the entire social circle spit out champagne."
Fei Tu Hu Po stuck out her tongue: "If there's ever a situation like that, just pretend to be mute! Pretend to be socially awkward, like Gao Shang Jun Yi!"
"When that time really comes, I'll see how well you can pretend..."
The noblewoman left Fei Tu Hu Po with a harsh remark, then reached into a steaming plate and picked up a piece of freshly roasted cumin lamb. She said seriously, "I just walked around the room, and I found that most people's attitude towards you is more about not wanting to offend you and keeping their distance... but when it comes to justice, everyone is truly enthusiastic."
Fei Tu Hu Po, with a lamb chop in her mouth, took a delicious bite of the juicy lamb and smiled brightly: "Isn't that great? If everyone criticizes my enthusiasm, with my terrible English... I'll have to worry about how to respond."
"Tsk, they have no ambition at all."
The lady suddenly leaned closer, her perfume mingling with the aroma of roasted meat: "From what I overheard, it seems Justice is quite confident in herself... She said that the special skill she held off using until the very end in the previous competition is going to be used on you."
The chewing of the lamb chop between her teeth came to an abrupt halt. Amber exclaimed in surprise, "Shouldn't exclusive skills be a secret? How could you even ask about that?"
Regardless, the noblewoman had managed to glean some somewhat useful information for her. Following the principle that one shouldn't ask for favors empty-handed, Fei Tu Hu Po poured the noblewoman a glass of champagne with a fawning expression, "Tell me in detail!"
"Hmph, at least you, Fat Rabbit, have some sincerity." The lady held her wine glass, swirling the wine inside. "Americans are not as shrewd as those from Asia... Just a few casual words, a couple of flattering remarks, and those secrets are like a burst dam, unstoppable."
Fei Tu Hu Po was greatly shocked: "Hey, I thought you would grab someone by the neck and force them to say what they wanted to say, Donna."
“If no one were around, I might have done it,” the lady nodded without hesitation. “But this time it’s to gather information, so we can’t disturb justice…”
Fei Tu Hu Po asked curiously, "So, Dong Na, what information did you find out?"
Donna deliberately dragged out the last syllable, observing Hitotsu Amber's tense expression, "First of all, Justice's exclusive skill has never been used in the arena, so the skill data and such have not yet been released..."
Hitoko Amber nodded. Kotobuki Toru had already investigated this matter. As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated." In fact, before each race, Kotobuki Toru would dig up and analyze information on all the participating racehorse girls...
Knowing someone's personality, skills, running style, and even clothing style to this extent is tantamount to opening their "box" and invading their privacy.
This time, however, Kotobuki Toru didn't uncover much information about justice. The only thing he could analyze was that this attribute of justice was very strong, and most of the time, using its full attribute power was enough to win...
Even though 99% of the people around couldn't understand Japanese, Hito Amber still lowered her voice and said, "Besides what you said, TouTou also said... Justice isn't like those traditional Americans who are straightforward, aggressive, and instinctively think about drawing their guns when they see danger or black people. Justice is very patient."
The lady raised an eyebrow. "Wow, Kotobuki Toru's analysis is already this in-depth? So detailed... I'm starting to regret not hiring him as my trainer..."
"Hmph, it's too late."
With her arms crossed, Hitotsu Kohaku wasn't worried that the noblewoman would lay a hand on Kotobuki Toru. After all, given the noblewoman's pride, she would absolutely not want to use something that someone else had used...
The noblewoman didn't dwell on the topic of men and continued, "Kotobuki Toru is right... but all he can do is analyze that Seigi, the racehorse girl, is very patient; he can't analyze other information."
The lady didn't keep them in suspense and said directly, "It seems that Justice's exclusive skill is specifically designed for runaway racers, and you, Fat Rabbit, are probably planning to use the runaway race method, right?"
Upon hearing the noblewoman's speculation, Hitotsu Amber stared at the noblewoman with a tense and scrutinizing expression. The noblewoman even sensed a hint of murderous intent in Hitotsu Amber's eyes.
The lady couldn't hold back any longer: "No, Fat Rabbit, we've come all this way to America to cheer you on... Even though we'll definitely be rivals in the future, we're on the same side now! Can you please stop breathing on me like that...?"
"Too."
Fei Tu Hu Po took two deep breaths, withdrew her subconscious aggressive movement, and then nodded: "That's right, the tactic we've chosen so far is the escape route, and we'll continue with the large-scale escape route."
I had already used the escape tactic once before in the Japanese derby, and according to the usual experience in horse racing, extreme tactics don't happen repeatedly, otherwise such tactics wouldn't be called extreme tactics...
But this time, he was going to take a risk and do something unconventional: run away again.
I never expected that before I could even run away, such terrible news would come from the dining table.

Chapter 399 Avoiding War? No!
"Unsettling the morale of the army deserves execution!" Fei Tu Hu Po glared at the noblewoman, clenching her fists fiercely. "Or I'll rip your heart out and eat it!"
The noblewoman was horrified: "Wow, fat rabbit! You've really got that evil spirit of Daji back then, you can't even distinguish between good and evil, and you want to kill loyal ministers indiscriminately!"
"Ahem, just kidding... just trying to lighten the mood a bit." Hibiki Amber, resting her delicate chin on her hand, waved her hand. "After all, what you just said was pretty scary..."
After saying that, Hitotsu Amber sighed. Regardless of whether what the noblewoman said was true or not, she had to take this matter seriously. On her way back, she would have to find Kotobuki Toru to help her analyze the situation.
“But does justice have to target me like this?” Fei Tu Hu Po still felt a little wronged and pointed at herself: “Donna, look at me, weak, pitiful and helpless... especially in the first few days after I came to America, I cried like Lin Daiyu every day, how did I offend justice?”
"Pfft...weak and pitiful..."
The lady choked on a mouthful of cumin and coughed hysterically, looking both like she was laughing and crying. This sight immediately drew everyone's attention.
Seeing that more and more people were paying attention to the situation, Hitotsu Amber worried that if things continued like this, it would affect the two of them's secret tactical discussions, and might even attract the attention of the righteous.
So Fei Tu Hu Po took the initiative to reach out and slap the noblewoman on the back to help her catch her breath.
"puff……"
The slap silenced the woman instantly, though her teeth were clenched so tightly they were grinding together, and her voice was barely audible, "Fat rabbit, are you trying to help me catch my breath or kill me? Why are you using so much force..."
Fei Tu Hu Po smiled slyly: "Actually, I just want to calm you down. Whether it's helping you catch your breath or slapping you unconscious, anything to calm you down is fine!"
The noblewoman was filled with indignation, looking as if she wanted to fight Fei Tu Hu Po to the death. "With your looks, you still dare to call yourself Lin Daiyu? The Lin Daiyu who uprooted the willow tree..."
"Moreover, according to the horse racing girls in Teresa, USA, from the first day you arrived in Teresa, you have been bullying everyone on campus with a cold face and in an equal manner... Everyone calls you the Crimson Queen, what else do you want to say?"
"Wow, I didn't expect my reputation to have spread this far?"
Since the noblewoman had already seen through her, Fei Tu Hu Po simply stuck out her tongue cutely: "Mainly, when I first arrived, I was worried that the school wasn't violent enough, oh no, I was worried about school violence, so I acted a bit violently. But justice doesn't have to be so harsh on me, does it?"
The culture of the United States is inherently somewhat peculiar; it constantly promotes itself as the world's number one country, claiming that America is the best nation in the world.
Then one day, when the US president suddenly discovers that other countries are stronger than himself, instead of reflecting on his own situation and improving his national strength so that his people can live in peace and prosperity, he raises tariffs everywhere or sows discord and starts wars, trying to secure his own number one position by dragging others down.
The noblewoman understood this, so she continued, "Well, although the cultural environment is like this, Masayoshi's usual way of doing things is still worthy of her name... She wouldn't do something so petty. Masayoshi isn't targeting you on purpose; she's treating every runaway racehorse equally."
"You watched the Belgian Championship a few days ago. Justice's running style is either to run away from the pack or to run ahead. So from the perspective of running style competition, Justice's first task is to eliminate other female racehorses that will compete with her for the position of running away from the pack."
However, before this, the "imaginary enemy" that Justice set for himself might just be a fantasy racehorse girl, with only a simple outline - able to run on mud, able to run on runaway horses, and with high attributes.
It wasn't until Hitotsu Kohaku arrived, and even after defeating Justice once in a ranked match, that the image of this imaginary enemy gradually became clear in Justice's heart, and eventually it may have become Hitotsu Kohaku's image.
"To so forcefully enter someone's heart, and even make them dream about you all day long..." The noblewoman covered her mouth and said in a distorted way, "Fat rabbit, you really are a woman who is attractive to both men and women and is deeply sinful."
Fei Tu Hu Po was speechless. "So sinful that the other party wants to kill me?"
The lady held her wine glass, took an elegant sip, and looked like a bystander observing from the sidelines: "Anyway, they're not going to kill me, but this matter is easy to resolve... Since they're targeting runaway race girls, and you happen to have the qualifications for off-track racing, why not just abandon the runaway tactic?"
As the saying goes, the best of the thirty-six stratagems is to flee. If Fei Tu Hu Po chooses the escape horse racing method, then she can say on the field of the Bemon Championship, "You've found a runaway racehorse girl, what does that have to do with me, a runner?"
But Hitotsu Amber quickly shook her head and explained, counting on her fingers, "It sounds good, but according to TouTou's analysis, it's not so good. First of all, my adaptability to sand tracks is at most a B+ level right now, which is a bit worse than those A-level racehorse girls... and my adaptability to American sand tracks is definitely not as good as other racehorse girls who have been running for most of their lives."
"So you're going to press on and launch a surprise attack using the Great Escape tactic?"
"That's one reason. Another reason is that if I choose the 'different running style,' the track will be a sandy track that has been trampled by the horses in front of me... That would be even more disadvantageous for me."
The noblewoman did not deny what Scarlet Amber said, "That is indeed a disadvantage, but the disadvantages you mentioned are obviously much easier to solve than running away and being specifically targeted by the favorite to win the championship, right? Although you're a bit slow, Fat Rabbit, you can definitely understand this simple comparison."
"I do understand..."
Fei Tu Hu Po tilted her head and thought for a moment, then shook her head slightly: "Although I haven't discussed it with Tou Tou yet, I still want to run the escape horse racing method and face justice head-on! To compete on the American track without any regrets."

The second update is here!
Please please please please
Chapter 400 has only ever lost to a dump truck.
The noblewoman never expected that, despite facing such intense targeting, Scarlet Amber would still choose to stand up to justice and confront the challenge head-on.
This is beyond the capabilities of an ordinary idiot! Someone needs to deliver a powerful blow to wake her up!
