Demotions! Demote Them All! / Dusk: Nothing Beats Dumplings for Eating, or Brother-in-Law for Fun!

As I blew on it, a strange yet familiar sensation came from the smooth, soft tail of the millet.

"What Brother Yu made really excited me. As his older sister, I have to make it up to him properly."

"I don't think these ingredients are good for your body."

"Is it really useless?"

Huang Cao shrunk his body, and his clothes instantly became much looser.

Since Shu was sitting on the edge of the bed with his back to Master Huang, his tail was like a cat toy, tugging at someone's heart.

Huang Cao sat directly on the base of the millet's tail. Because her body had shrunk, her chin could rest comfortably on the millet's shoulder.

Of course, not everything has been shrunk.

Could it really be effective?

The tip of the millet's tail rested against the back of the Huang Cao, and it couldn't help but ponder:

Why is A-Cao in such a high spirits today?

The next morning.

Huang Cao carried the unable-to-walk Shu downstairs, asking as they went:

"I noticed you were unhappy yesterday, so I wanted to try a different approach to cheer you up, but I'm not good with sweet words, so I had to prove it with my actions."

"Is it really that happy? You're just taking advantage of my shyness."

"Don't be angry, Wu, don't be angry. I'll make it up to you when I get back tonight at 6 PM!"

"Okay, but you can't move this time!"

Since the two of them didn't get up too early.

Yu's small restaurant was already open early in the morning.

I can only say that Brother Yu really wasn't lying. Last night, the two of them fought so hard upstairs that not a single sound could be heard.

Yu's restaurant is not large; only the first floor is the business area, while the two upper floors are used to entertain family or friends.

Huang Cao gently placed the millet on the sofa on the second floor and went downstairs to buy two bowls of noodles. However, just as he was about to take out his money, he realized that he did not seem to have any Yan Country currency on him.

"Brother Yu, do you buy gold here?"

"I guess Master Huang didn't bring any change. No problem, we can just top up his membership card."

Yu said with a smile that, in principle, her brother-in-law could certainly pay on credit, or even pay for it all for free.

After all, it's only the price of two bowls of noodles.

But Master Huang is the lord of Utopia; if word got out that he ate without paying, he'd be incredibly embarrassed.

Yan Country's decision to offer free meals will certainly earn him a reputation for hospitality, but the story of Master Huang living off his wife will likely become just anecdotal history.

In particular, Yu's small restaurant was located right in front of the Grand Court, so many people knew Master Huang.

When Master Huang went downstairs to order food, some people had already noticed him.

Grand Court official: Wow! To get up for breakfast and see the rulers of another country, this is worth the price of admission, even if I eat myself to death!

Without hesitation, Huang Cao took out the gold bars from his pocket.

"Please top up my membership card."

Chapter 368 Demotion! Demotion of all of them!

Night.

Huang Cao arrived at the main gate of the capital palace of Baizao.

Every official was to be searched, but Master Huang was not an official of the Great Yan.

Therefore, when he arrived at the palace gate, the imperial guards immediately and respectfully stopped him.

"Respected Mr. Huang and Ms. He, please follow me this way." 330!

The official who was conducting the body search glanced at the two men, wondering what kind of people they were who could directly use the VIP channel.

"May I ask, sir, who are these two people that they were personally summoned by the True Dragon?"

After the officials finished searching the two men, they couldn't help but ask them questions as they walked away.

"Brother, is this your first time in Baizao?"

"That's right. After spending five whole years in this poor and remote place as a civil engineer, I finally made it through after the canal was completed."

"I can't say the lady's identity, as it involves confidential matters and I can't say more, but the gentleman in the distance is no less important than the True Dragon. He is the supreme ruler of Utopia."

"Damn, wait a minute, isn't the Hundred Delicacies Banquet supposed to exclude foreign guests?"

"Sigh, the international situation has changed drastically lately, we can't afford to fall behind."

"They are truly a match made in heaven. The man is handsome, successful, and beautiful, while the woman is stunningly beautiful and must be quite talented. By the way, are they really a couple?"

"That's not the case. They were already married a long time ago, and the True Dragon personally issued their marriage certificate."

"Such a big background? But speaking of which, why would two foreigners need the True Dragon to personally handle their marriage certificate?"

"Who told you these two are foreigners?" The man with the unicorn horn on his head couldn't help but say. "Actually, it's hard to say. The woman has lived in our Great Yan for a very, very long time, which is why the True Dragon personally issued the marriage certificate."

"Wait, buddy, which department are you from?"

"I'm from the Heavenly Master Mansion."

"Stop joking. I'm also from the Heavenly Master Mansion, but I'm currently working in the Ministry of Works. I'm asking about my position."

"Alright, I'm from the Grand Court."

"Did you just say something terrible? Won't blood splatter on me? I've only just gotten through this!"

"It's okay. I can tell from your expression that you've guessed it. Even though I don't say it, you'll definitely be able to find the news."

After all, Shu is a celebrity in Great Wilderness City, and almost everyone knows him.

She's the only woman who can tell the locals, "I've seen your ancestors," a fact easily verified with a little research.

"But then again," the official who had just claimed to be from the Ministry of Works said, stroking his chin, "I remember that before I graduated and was exiled, Utopia had just conquered Iberia. So, is it now the strongest nation?"

The Qilin Horn official shook his head. "I don't know if it's number one. At least its war achievements are not Khan high as the Khan's. But if a war really breaks out, we might not be able to win. Their High-speed Battleship are like dumplings being dropped into boiling water."

"Why are you boosting others' morale and belittling your own? Be more confident and say that Great Yan is the best in the world!"

Guess what my previous job was?

"May I ask where you previously held a high position?"

"Decades ago, during World War I in Terra, I was on the sidelines watching the whole thing through binoculars. I was in a reconnaissance position, and Utopia's shells almost killed me."

"Did the army just spot you, sir?"

"They probably didn't find anything. They were probably afraid of sorcerers, so they plowed up every piece of land they had been on. They used cannonballs like they were free. Because of a work injury, I later transferred to the Dali Grand Court to investigate cases. Compared to cannonballs, corrupt officials are more pleasing to the eye."

"May I ask your age, sir?"

"Not too tall, not too old either. He's only seventy-eight, which is just the right age for us in this race—a time when we're ready to fight and take risks." (Zero (Five))

"But then again," the official from the Ministry of Revenue looked up at the palace, "We have someone here who married the leader of Utopia. Will the two countries open a trading port in the future? This country's goods are said to be very famous internationally, especially the textiles of the Banshee and the sophisticated Originium engine."

"Probably, but we can't be sure about things between countries. Besides, this country has provided us with food before, although it was an exchange of equal value."

The two officials chatted quietly all the way to the entrance of the Hundred Delicacies Banquet, and finally parted ways with reluctance.

Then they turned around and saw the two people sitting in the chief seat, just like the Great Yan True Dragon.

"There are a lot of people." Shu squeezed her husband Acao's hand, feeling a little uncomfortable.

It wasn't that she felt embarrassed or shy; it was mainly because so many officials were looking at her like she was a small animal, which made her a little angry.

Huang Cao glanced at the Great Yan Imperial Guard beside her out of the corner of her eye, and the latter immediately understood:

"Quiet!"

The Imperial Guard's voice spread through Originium Arts, reaching the ears of every official, and soon the arena fell silent.

They were even deprived of the courage to look at the two of them.

"Please tell the Yan Emperor that next time you should make sure you are well-prepared, otherwise my wife and I will not accept any banquet invitations from your country in the future."

The Imperial Guard nodded slightly, called over a younger subordinate to take his place, and immediately went to the back field. He returned to his post a few minutes later.

"I have conveyed your suggestion. We will compile a list of all the impolite people and send it to you shortly, along with the appropriate punishments."

The Imperial Guards knew the terrifying look on the True Dragon at that moment; he wished he could tear these officials to pieces.

Goodness.

I finally managed to make the lord of Utopia happy here, and you bunch of good-for-nothings have ruined his good mood in no time.

How can I do business properly in the future? Who will introduce advanced technology to feed my people?

Demote them all!

I don't care if you guys write poems to insult me!

They have absolutely no sense of propriety.

It's no wonder that the True Dragon is biased towards outsiders; some officials' looks just now were really impolite, and their emotional intelligence was extremely low.

The millet and Huang Cao are located to the right of the True Dragon's position, while the prince's position is to the left.

Although it wasn't placed on the left, it was enough to demonstrate the importance of the position, in order to make certain officials keep their eyes open and not cause any trouble.

As a result, they did show great respect to Master Huang, but some officials who knew about the danger posed by the Sui Beast looked at the millet with the eyes of someone looking at a novel item.

True Dragon: I think I already told you about the relationship between these two, didn't I? And you still caused me a lot of trouble!

In short, this whole thing made both the foreign guests and the True Dragon unhappy.

You're pulling this stunt on me during the New Year, huh? The thing is, my side really isn't in the right.

So at the same time, the enraged True Dragon behind them was also waiting for the list.

Before the True Dragon's anger could subside, a royal guard dressed in tight black clothing suddenly appeared behind him and knelt on one knee.

The imperial guard lowered his head and said:

"Your Majesty, according to my observation, more than ten officials were looking at Ms. Shu with strange eyes just now. Two copies of the list have been printed. Please take a look."

Chapter 369 Xi: Nothing tastes better than dumplings, nothing's more fun than brother-in-law!

Zhao Shu QUN: Wu Qi Lu Liu★] Si Er True Dragon took the two lists and carefully compared their similarities, finding nothing unusual.

"As expected, they are all people from the Si Sui Tai. Everyone on the list will have their salary reduced for three years, and they will all be sent to monitor Sui Lao Er. If you can't find any pawns, keep looking!"

True Dragon then added, "In addition, all officials of the Si Sui Tai will also be fined for one year, and their budget will be cut in half for the next two years!"

After a long while, just as the banquet was about to begin, the king finally calmed himself down.

The guard couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking that the True Dragon's temper was getting worse and worse. Was this what a man in his fifties was like?

"Submit another list to Master Huang and write down my punishment measures on it. Also, send this gentleman a seating chart. If Master Huang doesn't like any of the people on it, he can let me know."

Master Huang's character is still trustworthy. Although the country is powerful, he is surprisingly not aggressive.

Talking with this gentleman is like a gentle breeze; you could easily consider him a close friend.

The True Dragon is sixty years old. He has seen everything he needs to see, and his sharp eyes are enough to see through the hearts of most people.

Huang Cao took the list and seating chart handed to him by the Imperial Guards, and after carefully searching his mind for a while, he circled all the names of these people.

"My suggestion is to fine them all!"

The Imperial Guards respectfully handed the list back to the True Dragon.

True Dragon looked at the circles and dots on the screen, a smile finally crept across his face.

Well, you guys are really unlucky to have met a husband like Mr. Huang who dotes on his wife.

I thought that Master Huang would be a little more lenient with a few people whose behavior was somewhat decent, out of consideration for me, but he didn't let any of them off the hook.

What else can we do but increase the penalties? We'll only suffer for a few years anyway.

After the Imperial Guards' commotion, none of the officials at the banquet dared to stare at Shu with any respect.

This relieved Shu.

The real dragon, who had given all the officials a good scolding, immediately appeared at the top of the table. After the civil and military officials completed their five-step ceremony, the banquet officially began.
