Chapter 92

Finally, their gaze fell upon the girl in the silver-gray fitted dress behind them.

From the very beginning, this beautiful girl hadn't said a word to her, simply following quietly beside her group.

Like a moving, thousand-year-old iceberg, silent and cold, it evokes a strange sense of alienation.

"Yao Shi, what do you think of this place?"

Wu Liang looked at Yao Shi beside him, knowing that Yao Shi had no interest in ACG culture.

In a sense, Yao Shi can be described as a perfect example of a fulfilling life in the real world, with no connection whatsoever to the world of anime and manga.

It was indeed a bit of a disservice to Yao Shi to accompany Milutin and herself to a place like this.

Originally, I came out today to try and smooth out the relationship between Yao Shi and Milutin.

But judging from the current situation, things don't seem to be developing in the direction he expected.

"It was noisy, chaotic, and disorderly, with some women dressed too provocatively."

Yao Shi spoke emotionlessly, gazing at the cosplayers and photographers in the distance.

She had already roughly surveyed the place, and in her eyes, it was just a large, chaotic gathering with no order whatsoever.

Some cosplayers wore overly revealing outfits, almost to the point of being completely naked, and some of their costumes and poses contained sexual innuendo.

This displeased Yao Shi, who felt it would only pollute the young master's eyes.

Although she didn't think the young master would be swayed by those people, this approach was indeed unsettling.

"This young lady is quite observant, but as you said, there is indeed some filth and corruption in this circle that has corrupted this water source."

"But there's nothing we can do about it. There will always be such people in any field, and we can't possibly eradicate them completely."

Jiu Hu crossed her arms and said in a low voice, "There is filth in every field, that's an undeniable fact."

Of course, there are people in their circle who have no moral bottom line when it comes to money, but this is a kind of filth that exists in any field.

In order to make huge profits in a short period of time, many outsiders who are not in this circle will try to get involved and make a quick buck.

"Indeed, this kind of thing is quite common."

Wu Liang glanced at the cosplayers in the distance who were only wearing bikinis that barely covered their private parts.

Poor makeup, fake smile, stiff movements, and those three pieces of fabric that practically scream "naked."

As the ACG (Anime, Comics, Games) culture expands, many people looking to make money here are becoming increasingly unruly, disregarding the rules.

Actually, a small number of people are just using the name of a cosplayer to impersonate prostitutes. There are quite a few of these people in their original world.

"However, this kind of thing will absolutely not be allowed, so you can rest assured."

"There will inevitably be some people who take advantage of the situation to cause trouble, but we won't let them pollute this industry at will..."

Jiu Hu smiled slightly as he pointed to the cosplayers who had already been driven away by security personnel in the distance.

To prevent such incidents from happening, there is usually a lot of security oversight at comic convention centers.

"If you exclude those with ulterior motives, the ACG (Anime, Comics, Games) community is actually quite interesting."

Wu Liang watched as Milutin went on a shopping spree on the side.

Although the "stay-at-home" culture has now become integrated into people's daily lives, there are still many people who cannot accept it.

He doesn't force Yao Shi to like ACG culture, but he hopes that Yao Shi won't regard this culture as a bad one.

"Young master, what are you worried about? I'm just annoyed by those stinking bugs."

"I don't dislike this particular culture; in fact, I'm somewhat interested in it."

Yao Shi said calmly. She didn't dislike this place. Her dissatisfaction was only due to the bedbugs.

She could sense that most people were genuinely enjoying the anime convention, and the young master was no exception.

She would never dislike something that the young master liked.

However, if she has the chance, she should also do some research on this so-called ACG culture, so that she can understand the young master better.

"I'm so glad you like it."

Jiu Hu breathed a sigh of relief, saying that as long as the three of them didn't misunderstand each other, that was fine.

After all, some of the people she had met before didn't have a very good opinion of this industry.

It makes her very happy to meet like-minded friends who love ACG culture.

"Are there any other interesting places?"

Milutin, who had already finished shopping, was biting into the hot dog she had just bought.

This place is so interesting; if she could, she would like to visit other places as well.

"I have a place I'd like to recommend to you all. I wonder if any of you are interested in maid dessert parlors?"

"This morning I asked my friend and a few kids to set up a maid stand, and business is booming!"

A confident smile appeared on Jiu Hu's lips.

However, on the other hand, Ye Luotong has probably already given her a thorough dressing-down.

I said I was going to help, but then I stood her up.

She could even picture Ye Luotong's expression right now—a dark, murderous look that seemed to want to devour her.

It's about time to head back now; it'll be time for my rest soon.

When that time comes, Ye Luotong's guests will reach an extreme.

If we don't go back soon, that girl might really be overwhelmed.

"Huh? A maid dessert parlor??"

Wu Liang was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and involuntarily looked at Milutin and Yao Shi beside him.

Just as he expected, Milutin and Yao Shi were clearly intrigued upon hearing the word "maid".

Yao Shi, in particular, seemed to be wondering why the maid's quarters were here. Her face, which had been expressionless, showed a hint of surprise and confusion.

"They are all exceptionally talented maids. I guarantee it, those girls are the most perfect maids you've ever seen, wearing white stockings and cat-ear maid outfits~"

Jiu Hu walked up to Wu Liang and smiled meaningfully.

No man can resist the allure of a maid, especially a seductive maid like Ye Luotong, who is simply beyond the control of ordinary people.

"Um... a maid...?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang smiled awkwardly. To be honest, he wasn't really fond of the term "maid."

He used to fantasize about a pure and lovely maid in white stockings taking care of him, but now he doesn't feel anything at all.

After all, he already had so many maids in his house that he couldn't count them all, and there were two real maids standing next to him right now.

Whether it's a British-style black and white knee-length dress, a Western European-style long skirt that hugs the legs, or a Japanese-style cute short skirt with a butterfly-shaped waist, these are all maid outfits.

He had seen almost every maid outfit from all over the world, enough to dazzle anyone.

"Huh? They actually say she's the most perfect maid?"

The biting cold surrounded Yao Shi.

Upon hearing this, Yao Shi released Wu Liang's arm and walked to stand in front of Jiu Hu, looking him in the eye.

"Please let me see the perfect maid you speak of."

Yao Shi took the initiative to speak to Jiu Hu for the first time, her cold eyes suddenly ignited with a bright flame.

"Hmm? Well, since you're so eager to see it, let's set off."

Jiu Hu was taken aback when this beautiful woman took the initiative to strike up a conversation with her.

The other person has not said a single word to her from the beginning until now.

Why did the other person suddenly become interested after the word "maid" was mentioned?

And she wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that the girl in front of her had suddenly become serious.

"I'm also a little curious to see what a perfect maid really is."

Milutin smiled maliciously, actually praising another maid as the perfect maid in front of Yao Shi, the head maid of the Wu family.

That's a bit too confident of me, but it's fine this way; it's really stirred up Yao Shi's competitive spirit...

Chapter 32: Ye Luotong's Resentment (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets 10/32)

Just as Jiu Hu had said, not long after, the entire convention venue entered a short break.

The cosplayers, who had been standing all afternoon, took a break, while the photographers put down their props and organized the photos.

During this brief break, the rest areas at the back of the entertainment venue were occupied by a large number of cosplayers and tourists.

The living area and various food stalls set up here have become the first place people choose to relax.

In particular, some of the more unique stalls attracted a great many people.

It was in this rest area, which was filled with stalls and shops.

Compared to the other stores with mediocre numbers of customers, a stall with a simple and unassuming appearance had a long queue in front of it.

It stood in stark contrast to the surrounding shops that were exquisitely decorated but sparsely populated, making it appear exceptionally lively.

"Sister Tong! Two extra servings of strawberry smoothie!!"

"Sister Tong, hasn't the omelet rice ordered by customer number 15 been prepared yet?"

"Sister Tong! I don't want the milkshake I just ordered! Can I have coffee instead?"

"Sister Tong..."

Before Ye Luotong could even hand out the pastries, new orders started pouring in like a river.

Without giving Ye Luotong any time to catch her breath, a barrage of requests for snacks slammed into her face like cannonballs.

Ye Luotong, who was already operating at almost full capacity, was busy with the tasks at hand.

It is certainly a very happy thing that this stall has attracted so many customers.

The fact that her food was highly praised by customers is a recognition and compliment to her abilities.

"But I need to be able to manage the workload!!"

Ye Luotong slammed the omelet rice in her hand onto the plate and said fiercely.

Ye Luotong fell upon the long queue of people, and she felt a bit of a headache coming on.

Are you kidding me? The crowd is so big you can't see the end of the line. How can we possibly keep up?

She had planned to have a good time shopping this afternoon, but judging from the current situation, it doesn't seem like they'll let her leave.

"Sister Tong, why don't you go and rest for a while? You're already very tired."

Luoluo wiped the cream off her face and looked worriedly at Ye Luotong, who was grumbling.

Sister Tong has been busy here since noon, and has been working for several hours without much rest.

We can't let Sister Tong continue like this. The number of customers hasn't decreased at all; in fact, it's increased significantly.

Although Tong Jie is very capable, she will eventually run into problems if she continues like this.

"Where did Jiu Hu go at a time like this?"

"Damn woman, if I catch her, I'll beat her to a pulp with my Tai Chi Ye Family Style."

Ye Luotong raised her arm to wipe the sweat from her forehead, her face dark with anger as she spoke.

She tolerated that woman Jiu Hu slacking off before, but why is she nowhere to be seen during this peak season?

Are they really treating Ye Luotong like a tool to be used? Can't they have any decency?!

"Um... I'm not quite sure where Jiu Hu went... I just tried to contact her... but Jiu Hu didn't answer..."

Sensing the increasingly intense killing intent emanating from Ye Luotong, Luoluo timidly shrank back a few steps.

She knew that Sister Fox had left with the other three people, but she didn't know their exact location; they were probably just wandering around the convention center.

But the murderous aura emanating from Sister Tong is terrifying. Is this how Sister Tong usually treats her students?
