Become A Protagonist 2's
Chapters. 22 - Dish

Several large dishes were served on a very large table. There were dozens of types of heavy meals that Xiao Ruo had prepared for Xiao Qing Xuan who had regained her consciousness. Due to these few days, their meal time was greatly interrupted moreover Xiao Qing Xuan had just woken up after a full day of continuous sleep. This made Xiao Ruo feel like he had to prepare so much food for Xiao Qing Xuan's health to recover.

”Kak Ruo! Does it have to be this much? It tastes more meat than vegetables that are here.” said Xiao Qing Xuan who felt all this was too much.

”Adik Xuan has to spend it! You need to get your situation back. Our journey is still very far and we will not pass through a village like this. So, sister Xuan has to eat everything.” Xiao Ruo said firmly while putting some meat dishes in front of Xiao Qing Xuan.

Xiao Qing Xuan felt unable to finish off all the food that was here. If only he used his fat body, maybe he could finish this whole meal in just a few minutes. However, to the size of Xiao Qing Xuan's body that did not have a rubber stomach, he felt that he would explode if forced to continue eating like this.

Xiao Qing Xuan turned her head towards Liu Zhang Chen who was not far next to her. He looked at her as if he was asking, ”Do I really have to spend all this?" However, Liu Zhang Chen looked silent and threw away his face as if he did not understand what Xiao Qing Xuan was saying.

”Nobody managed to find it? Have you been looking all over the place?” xiao Lian Lei asked who was silent on top of his chair while taking care of some of the paper attached on his desk. Then, in front of him was clearly seen some troops who had been ordered to immediately search for Xiao Qing Xuan who had already disappeared during these two months. However, none of them managed to find him.

”True big master! We've been looking all over the place but, we haven't found any trace of him. Please forgive us.” said the leader who immediately bent his body.

Xiao Lian Lei rubbed his forehead. He looked very tired because he had to take care of the problems that occurred in Huanxu. The problem about the existence of shadow troops that killed some villagers and made them all feel insecure. He had also ordered some of his troops, but the result was the same as theirs. No one found a clue because their leader was too weak.

”What should I do? I've reached seven territories yet, no one has managed to find it. Actually, where did Zhang Chen take him away even, no one could find him.” Xiao Lian Lei muttered while leaning on her chair.

”Lian Lei wedge!” shouted a woman who directly threw a corpse ash storage urn in front of Xiao Lian Lei. The jar broke and a woman dressed in shabbiness came from the entrance. ”You've got A-Ruo's body?!”

The entire army instantly stood in front of Xiao Lian Lei with a sword drawn towards the woman. At the sight of her, Xiao Lian Lei felt extremely shocked when she knew that this woman was the Yin Hua who had already been divorced by her.

”Yin Hua, why are you here?” xiao Lian Lei asked who stood up straight from his seat.

Yin Hua who looked messy, continued to look at him with great anger. He stiffened his fist and shouted, ”Where is that? Did you kill A-Ruo's body?! You really don't know yourself!”

Xiao Lian Lei was extremely shocked when he heard that. Then, one of his troops bluffed, ”How dare you accuse the Great Lord! Do you want to die?!”

Yin Hua's breath sounded panting. He smiled faintly and looked at Xiao Lian Lei coldly. ”... Return A-Ruo's body to me. I know you took it and traded it for a corpse similar to her, right?!”

Xiao Lian Lei fell silent and looked at him seriously. ”... Since when did I steal it? Do you have any proof?”

”Do not lie! I know you stole it! People there say you paid someone to steal my son's body, right?! You're so cruel! Is it because we are from the village that you can step on us like this?!” yin Hua shouted who immediately sat on her knees while rubbing her swollen eyes from continuing to cry.

Xiao Lian Lei looked back at Yin Hua and said, ”I will look for the corpse of A-Ruo. Somebody! Take him to an empty room.” he said as he walked towards somewhere.

”Wait! Where are you going?!” yin Hua shouted that immediately ran up to him. However, just as he was about to touch it, some of the troops instantly made him kneel down until he could not move at all.

”Because I'm to blame, I'm the one who'll be looking for the person who did it to end this misunderstanding. For a while, stay here. You must be very tired after walking all day to get here.” said Xiao Lian Lei who walked away from him.

Yin Hua lowered her head and hid her current regretful expression. ”... Lian Lei, I really hate you! Hates you so much!” he said with a soft voice that Xiao Lian Lei was able to hear.

Although he heard it very clearly, Xiao Lian Lei chose to remain silent and walked towards a place followed by some of his troops.

”Ahh,... I'm really not strong anymore. This body was not designed to constantly eat.” Inner Xiao Qing Xuan in a dispirited tone as she placed her head on a table filled with dirty dishes.

”Can't! Brother Xuan should still spend it!” chirped Xiao Ruo who gave him a bowl of meat soup.

”Haah,... I'm really uncomfortable. He's too good!” inner Xiao Qing Xuan was starting to think of escaping from this place. ”But, the exit is very far from this place whereas on my right and left side there are already Xiao Ruo and Liu Zhang Chen. In front of me was a little boy holding a snake. Which road should I choose to escape from?”

”Ah! Brother Ruo!” exclaimed Xiao Qing Xuan. ”... My hair strap was left in the room. So, I had to take it.” he said as he stood back up and began the step towards his room. However, suddenly Xiao Ruo was in front of him and immediately said, ”I alone took it. You stay here and finish your meal.” he said as he walked up the stairs.

Upon seeing that Xiao Ruo had been on the second floor, Xiao Qing Xuan began a swift movement towards the exit. Liu Zhang Chen who saw it just kept silent and let it go freely out. However, just as he was about to reach for the exit, he accidentally bumped into a giant man who had just entered the restaurant.

Very quickly, Xiao Qing Xuan instantly sat down while holding onto her flushed forehead. He only found out that there was a man who had a very tall and wide body like a fortress.

”Uhh,... Why did this huge wall appear in front of me?” the inner Xiao Qing Xuan who was not staring at the man who had just been hit by him.

”Young man, are you okay? Sorry, we have bumped into you.” said a woman as she extended her hand to Xiao Qing Xuan.

As he was about to stare towards the two, Liu Zhang Chen directly pulled him away from the two of them. His gaze looked extremely solemn while staring at the two as if he had met his nemesis.

”What is this? Do they know each other?” inner Xiao Qing Xuan who was staring at the three in surprise.

”Oh! Look at Chu Rong! Looks like we managed to find the Incarnation of the Northern General. Isn't that right, Liu Zhang Chen?” said the woman while showing her teasing smile.
