Poseidon in Tomorrow's Ark

"What's wrong?" Xiyue looked at the surprised Exia and Texas strangely, "Is there any problem? You look surprised."

"No, what did I hear?" The expression on the Archangel's face was as if his three views were shattered. "What happened to the Guard Bureau?"

"The Guard Bureau successfully set up a sentry box in the slums in the east of the city." Xiyue smiled and looked at Nengshu and repeated the information just now.

"Is it really possible? The Imperial Guards set up facilities in the slums or something."

"Hmm..." Texas took out a pocky from his pocket and put it into his mouth, "Although I guessed there would be such a change, it happened much faster than I thought."

"I originally thought that at most they would only allow the Guards to pass through." Texas paused for a moment, then shook his head. "I didn't expect the progress to be so fast that a sentry box would be left behind."

"Perhaps, it is indeed a little faster." Xiyue smiled, "But for the people in the slums, this is a good thing. Although we may not see the results in the short term, there may even be some obvious consequences first."

"But for the vast majority of people, in the long run, this will be a good thing."

After thinking for a while, Angel said, "But the people in the slums, especially some gangsters, are used to freedom and may not necessarily obey the jurisdiction of the Security Bureau. According to them, they have their own rules."

Xiyue looked at the Angel with a smile: "Maybe, Angel, but their rules protect their own interests and have nothing to do with other people in the slums. Their freedom is freedom without the constraints of rules. Such freedom cannot be called freedom."

"Before, it was the Rat King who maintained the balance of the Longmen Slums and upheld the rules, but gangs are gangs after all, and there are some things that gangs can't do."

Texas nodded, confirming Xiyue's statement, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "But there might be a little backlash. Maybe some stupid guys are used to freedom and are ready to interfere."

"Those foolish people who might jump up and down?" Xiyue looked at Texas, "Their words might be buried in a cup of sand, or maybe..."

"Or become an object of establishing authority." Texas smiled and helped Xiyue complete the last sentence.

"Okay, let's not talk about this!" Angel looked at the two of them singing the same tune and stood between them, then looked at Xiyue and pointed at her stomach, "Compared to this, Xiyue, it's lunch time now!"

"Okay, okay, I got it." Xiyue reached out and rubbed the head of the Angel. "What do you want to eat?"

"Dessert?"

"Not at noon."

Hearing Xiyue's refusal, Angel of Energy lost interest immediately: "Then it's up to you."

"Well, where should we go to eat tonight?" Shi Huaiya put down her phone and began to think about where to go to eat tonight?

"What's wrong? Shi Huaiya." At this time, Chen pushed the door open and walked in. "You look thoughtful. What happened?"

"Can't you think of something good?" Shi Huaiya looked at Chen speechlessly, "It's Xiyue, Xiyue is back."

"Oh, so that's what happened." Chen nodded and put down the lunch box in his hand. "Did you tell me about the celebration banquet?"

"Of course." Shi Huaiya glanced at the lunch box, "Well, let's not think about dinner yet. Let's take care of lunch first."

While waiting for Xiyue to cook, Texas lay on the sofa watching TV boredly.

While watching TV, Texas suddenly looked up at Xiyue in the kitchen. Then he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and skillfully opened the novel app on his phone.

[While drying his lover's tail, Deli's tail kept twisting back and forth...]

"This novel is also like this..." Texas read the contents of the novel, and the tip of his tail swayed slightly, "But Xiyue doesn't have a tail either..."

"Liberty's way of expressing shyness is, no, Xiyue is not Libery..." Texas sighed slightly, "And is Xiyue really shy? Even before Skadi and Hong, Xiyue's expression was more like helplessness than shyness."

Texas sighed, and at this moment the weight in his hand lightened. Texas turned around and found that his cell phone was in the hands of Archangel who had come over from behind.

"Come back here." Texas looked at Archangel with gradually cold eyes.

"Okay, okay~" Angel threw the phone back with a smirk on his face.

Texas caught the phone and realized something was wrong as soon as he held it. Sure enough, he looked down and saw an apple pie-patterned phone case on the phone.

This is Angel's phone, not hers.

Just when Texas was about to get started, he heard Angel typing something on his phone, and then the phone in Texas' hand vibrated.

Angel of Power pointed at his cell phone with a smile, and then pointed at Xiyue who was cooking in the kitchen.

Texas was silent for a moment and then turned on Angel's phone.

[You don't want Xiyue to know that you are reading this novel, right? Miss Texas, who doesn't care~]

[…What do you want to say? ]

[Don’t you think it doesn’t matter?]

【…】

[Last time when Skadi and Hongqin Xiyue were together, I noticed something was wrong with you. After all, I don’t know how many times your tail swept me, and there was also your poor bag of pocky.]

Texas looked up and saw the Archangel with a smirk on his face. He was silent for a moment and then continued typing.

【so what? 】

Angel didn't reply, but just smiled and handed the phone back.

"Huh?" Texas took the phone and looked at Angelica in confusion, not knowing what she was doing.

"That's good~" Exia looked at Texas and patted Texas on the shoulder, "Keep working hard~ I'm optimistic about you~"

"So you came to steal my phone just to confirm this?" Texas was silent for a while, then reached out and grabbed Exia's shoulder.

Exia looked at Texas' expression and a little cold sweat ran down his face: "Well, hey?"

"Exiac..." Texas looked at Exiac who was trying to act cute with a kind smile, "I'm not Xiyue."

Chapter 63: Thousand Cups of Wine

"Croissant, what are we having for dinner today? Are we going to order the unsold inventory again?" Kong opened the door, lowered his head to change his shoes, then closed the door and shouted into the room.

But after a while of no response, Kong thought that Croissant had not come back yet, so she prepared to strike first. She didn't want to eat the unsold stock of Croissant.

Just as Kong took out his phone from his pocket and was about to open the food delivery app, he smelled a fragrance.

Kong looked up in confusion and saw Exia sitting on the sofa with a pitiful look on his face. The big bump on his head was particularly obvious. Next to him was Texas, who was watching TV with a calm face.

After seeing the two of them, Kong turned his head and looked towards the kitchen, and sure enough, he saw Yuyue cooking.

"Sure enough, why did I think for a moment that Croissant had learned how to cook?" Sora shook his head, throwing away the thought that had just occurred to him.

"Hmm?" Xiyue came out with the prepared dishes and saw Kong standing at the door. "Kong is back. What are you doing standing at the door? Go wash your hands and then eat."

"Okay." Kong nodded, turned around and slipped into the bathroom nearby.

Xiyue nodded, then took the dish from Hong's hand behind her, put it on the table, and shouted to Angelica and Texas, "Okay, you two stop watching TV, go wash your hands and eat."

"Hmm?" Just after she finished speaking, Xiyue noticed the big bump on the head of the Archangel. "Archangel, what happened to you? Is this an accident or is it a suicide? But it looks like it should be a suicide?"

"Why was it locked on so quickly? Am I courting death?" Hearing Xiyue's words, the Angel slapped the sofa in dissatisfaction.

"Maybe it has become a law, right?" Xiyue looked at the Angel with a smile, then threw out a small piece of ice, "Okay, apply it."

"Hey, Kong! I'm going back..." Croissant pushed open the door and raised the bag in his hand towards the room, but suddenly saw Xiyue putting the dishes on the dining table.

"Hey, Xiyue, you guys are back?" Seeing Xiyue, Croissant immediately hid the bag in his hand behind his back, "Why didn't you tell me you were back?"

"What are you hiding?" Xiyue looked at the bag behind Croissant curiously, "Is it necessary to hide it?"

"Based on my experience." Kong came out of the bathroom and looked at the croissant with empty eyes. "Most likely they can't sell it, so they are looking for me to share the inventory."

"The day before yesterday it was instant noodles, and yesterday it was vermicelli noodles. Speaking of vermicelli noodles, Croissant and I watched them grow in number, almost turning a bowl of noodles into a pot of noodles."

"Ah, thank you for your hard work, but?" Xiyue looked at Kong in surprise: "That doesn't make sense. Noodles are generally not bad to cook, right?"

"But I can't afford to eat noodles three times a day for several days." Kong spread his hands helplessly, "Besides, croissants are not as good as yours. If you hadn't come back today, I would have ordered takeout."

"Oh~" Xiyue nodded, then turned to look at the bag behind Croissant and smiled, "So, what kind of noodles are you having today? Croissant"

"It's pasta. I said I'd change the taste these days." Croissant touched his head. "Should I put it in the kitchen?"

"Let it go. After that, go wash your hands and eat."

"OK OK."

-----------

"Come to think of it, why did you guys come back so early? I thought you would stay for a few days." Croissant half-lay on the sofa, looking at Xiyue who was watching TV nearby. "And what about Skadi? She didn't come back with you. Did she go back to Rhodes Island?"

"Yes, Skadi went to take care of her friend." Xiyue nodded, "We just happened to avoid the storm, and after staying in Rhodes Island for a day, we came back."

"Oh~" Croissant nodded, praising the four people's good luck, "Oh, by the way, did you know that a big thing happened in the downtown area these two days?"

"Are you referring to the completion of a sentry post by the Longmen Guard Bureau in the lower east part of the city?"

Croissant looked at Xiyue in surprise: "Hey, didn't you just get back? How did you know?"

"Is there a possibility that I was involved in this matter, so Officer Shi Huaiya called me and told me?" Xiyue looked at Croissant with a smile.

"Oh, yes, I forgot about this matter." Croissant shook his head.

"There is a celebration banquet tonight, but Miss Shi Huaiya hasn't sent me the location yet." Xiyue smiled, "Do you have anything to do tonight? If not, do you want to go together?"

When he heard there was a celebratory banquet, Croissant's eyes lit up for a moment, but then he thought of a question.

"It's okay. That's your celebration party, right?" Croissant looked at Xiyue, "We didn't do anything."

"Shi Huaiya said she's here to treat us, and I can bring as many people as I want." Xiyue spread her hands, "So whether you go or not is up to you."

----------

"Xiyue, is this it?" Angel looked up at the sign, then turned back to look at Xiyue who was looking at her phone.

"This is what the map shows. I shouldn't have located the wrong place." Xiyue put away her phone and led the five people to open the store door.

"Welcome, miss. How many people are you in? " A well-dressed waiter immediately came forward when he saw Xiyue coming in with a few people.

"I've already booked a room."

"Oh, okay, this way please. The rooms are all on the second floor." The waiter bent slightly and pointed the direction of the stairs to everyone.

Xiyue led everyone upstairs. According to the message sent by Shi Huaiya, she found the room and pushed open the door. She took a quick look and found that in addition to the Dragon, Tiger and Ghost trio, there were also the three police officers who were on duty with her at the free clinic, and Ansuo was also there.

"Good evening, everyone. Thank you for your hard work these days." Xiyue looked at the people in the room with a smile.

"Miss Xiyue, we've been waiting for you~" Xingxiong raised the cup in his hand to Xiyue, "Come on, come on, our great hero, come and sit down."

Xiyue nodded with a smile and found a seat to sit down. Hong immediately followed and sat down next to Xiyue.

As for the four-member Penguin Logistics team that followed them, they couldn't help feeling a little uneasy when they saw Chen who had been staring at them since they came in.

"Hi, Mr. Chen." Angel raised his hand weakly and greeted, "We haven't gotten into any trouble recently, have we?"

"...No." Chen looked helplessly at the guys in front of him whose blood pressure was often off the charts, "They've been doing well recently."

"Oh, that's good."

"Hey, you little idiot, I set up this trap, why are you looking so cold here?"

"Hey, hey, hey, don't be like this. Old Chen is like that. He's happy today, he's happy today." Seeing that Shi Huaiya's face was not right, Xingxiong hurried forward to stop him to prevent a scene of dragons fighting tigers.

"Tsk, that damn rat said he had something to do tonight, so he didn't come." Shi Huaiya curled her lips, but today was a happy occasion, so she couldn't get angry. She looked around to make sure everyone was there, "Everyone is here, I'll ask someone to serve the food."

"Officer Xingxiong, come on, come on!"

"Come on, Xiyue, come on!"

Xiyue and Xingxiong looked at each other helplessly, then drank the liquor in their hands, and finally piled the bottles on the table.

"Oh, this is the 12th bottle!" Archangel shouted excitedly, and drew another mark on the whiteboard with a marker. He didn't know where the whiteboard came from.

After the meal, Angel was so excited that he proposed a drinking contest to everyone. Everyone, who had already drunk a little and were starting to get a little tipsy, agreed to the proposal.

Of course, Xiyue and Xingxiong still made a relatively rational decision to stop this situation. After all, it would be difficult to deal with if everyone fell down after drinking.

Then this guy named Angel of Exaltation suggested to everyone that we should select the one who we think can drink the most to have a competition, and the others can just drink a little more.

Then Xingxiong and Xiyue were pushed out by several people and became the focus of everyone's attention. Even the nosy guy Nengtianshi replaced the beer with white wine.

Xingxiong burped with a strong smell of alcohol, and then looked at Xiyue who had a calm face. Originally, she wanted to drink a few bottles, and then pretend to be drunk and fall down to end the competition after seeing that everyone's excitement was almost over. But as she drank, she felt something was wrong.

Why does it look like Liberi across from her can drink more than her?

After drinking these 12 bottles of liquor, even Xingxiong's face turned a little red, but why did the person opposite him not seem to change at all?

"Miss Xiyue, are you okay?" Xingxiong couldn't help but ask Xiyue.

Xiyue calmly shook her head and said, "I feel fine, Officer Xingxiong."

"Oh, that's quite interesting." Xingxiong looked at Xiyue in front of him. Judging from her tone, she was indeed fine. A sense of competitiveness rose up in his heart, "Another bottle?"
