A Nauseating Feeling (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)

"Hurry inside and change, then we'll leave."

Bai Chi nodded, shuffled into the house in her slippers, and came back out a little while later, dressed.

"Let's go."

"Mm."

I looked around. I really didn't want to go back there, but Bai Chi insisted. After thinking it over, we had at least shared a meal with them. We should probably make a proper goodbye, right?

If they really refused to let us leave, then we'd have no choice but to give them a blast.

We headed on. Since the roads across the square had all been repaired, the trip went fairly smoothly.

When we reached the square, last night's scene had vanished. The whole place was peaceful. Men and women sat at their own little tables, waiting for the soup simmering in the big pot over there. I had no idea what was in it, but it smelled pretty good.

"You're here! Come, come, have a seat. Today's breakfast feast is for everyone. Once you've eaten, we'll all get to work. Here, your seats are over there."

When Guo Aoliang saw us coming, he hurried over with an ingratiating smile, talking as he led the way.

"Wait a moment, Mr. Guo. We're actually planning to leave today, so we won't be staying for the meal..."

"Oh?"

Guo Aoliang's brow furrowed, then relaxed. His expression changed in an instant. If my dynamic vision hadn't been so strong, I might not have caught it.

"May I ask what you two have to do? Perhaps I can take care of it for you?"

"No need. This really isn't something you can help with. Our team in Xuzhou sent word. More than a thousand people are waiting for us to return, so we won't impose any longer."

"Gasp..."

Surprise was written all over Guo
