Bibi Dong: Want to Apologize? Then Go Die!
"I am the emperor! Leave me a piece!"
His shout finally brought the chaotic scene to a standstill for a moment.
Everyone froze, turning to look at him in unison.
Dai Tianfeng was overjoyed, thinking that his imperial authority had finally taken effect.
He was about to proudly reach out with his chopsticks to pick up the last trembling piece of Dongpo Pork.
"Smack!"
The prime minister with the goatee was quick-witted and swift, slapping the back of his hand hard with his chopsticks, knocking the chopsticks away.
Taking advantage of Dai Tianfeng, the old prime minister swiftly and precisely placed the last piece of meat into his bowl, put it in his mouth, and chewed it with a blissful expression.
Dai Tianfeng covered his reddened hand, completely stunned, staring at his prime minister in disbelief.
"You... you dare to hit me?!"
The old prime minister rolled his eyes indistinctly as he chewed on his meat.
"Your Majesty, please wake up."
"Here, you're nothing but a damn emperor."
"If you want food, you have to fight for it!"
The old prime minister's outrageous words now seemed so righteous and self-righteous.
Dai Tianfeng was rendered speechless by the rebuttal. Looking at the empty plate and then at his colleagues who were fighting fiercely around him, he was filled with grief and indignation.
Once upon a time, he thought the Star Luo Empire's greatest enemy was the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Hall.
Now he understands.
The greatest enemy is fucking hunger!
And these starving officials!
He, the mighty Star Luo Emperor, the supreme ruler, had actually... actually stooped to competing with his own subjects for food?
They haven't even managed to steal it yet?!
What kind of mess is this?!
Just as the people of the Star Luo Empire were staging a full-blown brawl, repeatedly trampling on imperial dignity and camaraderie.
On the other side, Bibi Dong had already gracefully put down her chopsticks and gently wiped the corner of her mouth with a napkin.
A sense of genuine satisfaction and contentment surfaced on her exquisite face, dispelling the gloom and fatigue that had accumulated the day before.
Only here, in this man's restaurant, could she shed all her pretenses and defenses, and briefly become the woman who only needed to pursue "happiness."
She raised her beautiful, amethyst-like eyes and looked at the leisurely figure behind the counter, her gaze carrying a hint of barely perceptible expectation and ingratiation.
"Senior..."
Bibi Dong's voice no longer carried the Pope's majesty, but instead carried a hint of cautious probing.
"My... my raffle, can I...?"
She didn't finish her sentence, but the meaning was already clear.
Although her monthly subscription was suspended, she was still a regular customer today and should be entitled to participate in the lucky draw.
She desperately wanted an opportunity, a chance to rekindle her relationship with this man.
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng withdrew his gaze from the group of the Star Luo Empire people scrambling for food and instead focused on Bibi Dong.
Seeing her expectant yet apprehensive expression, Lin Feng understood.
"Yes, that's fine."
He nodded.
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Bibi Dong's eyes lit up instantly, and a smile bloomed on her face.
However.
Before Lin Feng could even summon the system...
The automatic doors of the Maple Dye Pavilion have opened to both sides.
A figure walked in against the light.
As she entered, the noisy sounds of people scrambling for food, urging each other to drink, and laughing in the restaurant seemed to be instantly extinguished by an invisible hand.
Everyone instinctively looked over.
The newcomer was tall and slender, with a head of brilliant golden hair that was somewhat disheveled. Her beautiful face, which should have been a blend of pride and holiness, was now deathly pale.
It is Qian Renxue.
"Click."
Qian Daoliu's spoon, which was scooping up the Egg Fried Rice, stopped in mid-air.
The golden rice grains on the rice scoop were still steaming enticingly, but he felt no appetite whatsoever.
A profound sense of heartache and helplessness instantly gripped the heart of this Peerless Douluo.
He knew that what was bound to happen would eventually happen.
Unlike Qian Daoliu's somber demeanor, the others in the hotel looked bewildered and astonished.
"Young Master?" Golden Crocodile Douluo frowned. "Why is she like this? She was fine yesterday, how did she become like this today?"
The group exchanged glances. They were unaware of yesterday's dramatic scene of mother and daughter hurting each other, as they had left to dig up potted plants as a group.
Seeing Qian Renxue's distraught appearance, I felt utterly bewildered.
The group at the Star Luo Empire's table was completely dumbfounded.
Dai Tianfeng stared wide-eyed, trying hard to make out who it was, his heart filled with turmoil.
Who is this deity?
In the instant that everyone was lost in thought, Bibi Dong's expression turned cold.
The faint smile that had appeared just a moment ago because of the upcoming lottery had vanished without a trace, replaced by a coldness and disgust as thick as ancient ice.
She didn't even bother to speak, but the temperature in her beautiful amethyst eyes suddenly plummeted to freezing.
The atmosphere in the entire hotel instantly became eerie due to the silent standoff between the two.
Qian Renxue seemed oblivious to everything around her.
In her world, it seemed that only that woman sitting not far away, with cold eyes, remained.
She ignored her grandfather's suppressed, painful cry from behind.
"Xue'er..."
She walked slowly through the hall, her steps unsteady, as if she were stepping on cotton.
Finally, she stopped in front of Bibi Dong's dining table.
Under everyone's astonished gaze.
"Thump--!"
A dull thud.
Qian Renxue bent her knees and knelt down straight in front of Bibi Dong!
This kneeling plunged the entire hall into a deathly silence!
[Ding! A large-scale family drama has been detected. Excitement level rating: S+.]
[Activate 'Watching the Show' mode? In this mode, the host can block out all external interference and will receive sunflower seeds, cola, and popcorn as a gift.]
Lin Feng's lips twitched slightly, and he mentally gave the system the middle finger. "Get lost!"
"This!"
Demon Bear Douluo couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, but quickly covered his mouth with his hand.
What kind of operation is this?
Bibi Dong was also visibly taken aback.
But after only a moment of surprise, the disgust and sarcasm in her eyes intensified.
That look was like looking at a pathetic creature rolling on the ground, trying to gain sympathy in the most clumsy way.
"What trick are you planning to pull this time?"
Bibi Dong's voice was icy cold, devoid of any warmth.
"Trying to gain my pity with such a clumsy trick?"
However, to everyone's surprise...
Kneeling on the ground, Qian Renxue showed no anger at being humiliated, nor any sense of grievance.
She simply raised her head slowly, her dim golden eyes filled with a deathly stillness.
"I didn't intend to do anything fancy."
Her voice was hoarse, like two rough stones rubbing against each other.
"I just came here..."
She paused, and with all her might, she managed to squeeze out those few words from her throat.
"... I'm here to apologize to you."
Apologize?
Bibi Dong seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, and a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.
"Apologize?"
She repeated those two words, her eyes practically overflowing with mockery.
"You bastard, you dare to apologize to me?"
She slowly stood up, looking down at Qian Renxue kneeling on the ground. Her beautiful face was now filled with deep-seated hatred.
"OK."
"Since you truly want to apologize..."
Bibi Dong's voice became very soft and gentle, yet it carried a chilling malice.
"Then why don't you just die right here in front of me?"
"So that I don't feel disgusted just looking at your face!"
