Chapter 1065: 1062:

"Do you think there's been a strange error with our plane's navigation, redirecting the flight destined for Europe to Northeast instead...?"Upon seeing the dishes brought to the table, Ansheng cast a peculiar glance at the German-style potato salad, smoked pork hock with sauerkraut and pickles, then turned to Zhang Lin with a weird expression and asked.

"...Please don't ask me, I don't understand either." Zhang Lin replied with a polite smile, lowering her voice.

Expecting the young ladies to have culinary skills is rather unrealistic.

But they came for the family's task, which was to win favor with Master Fuli and establish preliminary contact and communication.

They each selected some specialty dishes from their family's country, with guidance from the cooks, personally completed the rather simple assembly, and presented them at the dining table.

The dishes mainly consisted of roast, stew, and pan-fried items, with a flavor profile leaning towards sweet and sour, mainly sour.

There's intent and there's character, but Ansheng couldn't shake the feeling that... fish and chips seem pretty great.

"Master Fuli, try the white sausage..." The aristocratic young lady elegantly held the knife and fork, peeled off the sausage casing, forked out the white meat inside, dipped it in some curry sauce, and presented it to Master Fuli with hopeful eyes.

"Thanks.....but the salt is a bit much, it might cause hair loss." Ansheng said with a black-lined face, looking at the potato salad in front of him overloaded with mayonnaise.

"Whose scallops are those..."

"Mine! This is our America's fusion innovation dish [Cast Iron Pan Scallops], paired with cauliflower puree, bacon bits, and a sauce made with champagne butter..."

Though the bread wasn't to Ansheng's taste, the other meats were quite good. Dish after dish disappeared from the table, but, for whatever reason, it felt oddly like some sort of strange rule was at play.

Noble women from different countries and regions all mysteriously maintained a certain tacit understanding.

Even as desserts and tea were served, no one touched the bright red turkey on the table.

Until Eleanor calmly threw the tray, turkey included, into the trash, marking the end of the celebration feast.

"Goodness gracious..."

Witnessing this, Ansheng couldn't help but lose his composure; turns out the giant turkey was merely for decoration.

"Although the rabbit woman was quite nice, the original appearance is still more pleasing..."

Through a will invasion, Shasha spent several minutes modifying Zhang Lin's genetics, removing all her rabbit features. Zhang Lin showed a satisfied expression, touched her empty head and said.

"Now that everything is done and the meal is finished, it's about time for us to leave...."

Ansheng signaled to Miyel to prepare a car for him to head to the provincial city airport.

"Leaving so soon? The residents of Furui City....."

Upon hearing this, Miyel instinctively glanced in the direction of Furui City, displaying a hint of hesitation.

"The source of anomalies has been cleared, but the furry transformation of Furui City's residents isn't something that can be resolved overnight." Ansheng looked at Miyel and the noble women, speaking calmly:

"At least, not until funding is available, and that's not my responsibility..."

"I also have to escort that group back to the country!"

Speaking, Ansheng shot a glance at the members of the Spiritual Particles organization squatting outside, sitting in rows.

From the female knight with an iconic sigh, Triss turned back with a bitter face and looked at the celestial pie in her arms:

"Master Fuli.....I don't like pie. Can I have a swap for haggis or black pudding? Their dead fish eyes keep staring at me, it's quite eerie..."

"If not, at least swap it for fries, even saltless fries will do."

The celestial pie is a fish pie made with seven different types of fish.

When the dish was first made, it was met with skepticism by others, claiming there was no fish inside.

Angry at these remarks, the creator put fish heads into the pie to prove it contained seven different types of fish.

This dish, hailing from a fishing village, has become quite rare in modern times, typically being made with chicken heads instead, for celestial pie....

Because...fish heads are just too eerie.

"It's your country's specialty dish, if you're not eating it, are you expecting me to? Don't waste food!" Ansheng gave Triss a stern look.

The noble women of your country crafted this, as a knight shouldn't you rise to the challenge?

Ansheng teased Triss before turning his attention away from the captives, motioning for the Triangular Hammer to board the vehicle.

Triangular Hammer rose from the snow, carrying the Immortal's corpse and the Gravity Hammer.

As it rose from the snow, Li Mengxi, who had been squatting by the side, gazed amorously at the Immortal, following the vehicle eagerly.

"It... was that will's master just now?"

Having returned to an administrative car among only her companions, Li Mengxi looked at Master Fuli and inquired.

"Uh-huh.... it should be considered an Immortal." Ansheng smiled at Li Mengxi, narrating the entirety of the Furui City battle.

Li Mengxi was astounded, while her phone vibrated incessantly like a full-power fascia gun.

Unos scattered around the globe received shared intelligence from Xia Country's Unos (Li Mengxi), pouring into the WeChat group with Master Fuli to discuss.

But this chaotic scene lasted less than ten minutes before being disciplined by dog management, as Li Wenkang jumped out to promote indenture contracts.

Voluntary labor Unos come forward.

...

Loading all captives and spoils into the vehicle, Master Fuli boarded a private plane heading home.

The plane landed at the military airport of the Imperial Capital, with the Witch King's corpse sent in a sealed container to the headquarters of the Security Bureau, awaiting Sun Xingyao's nightly corpse inspection.

Ansheng took the high-speed underground train, headed from Xia Dong straight to Qingao Island.

"Ah Qing! I'm back—"

Having returned to Qingao Island, Ansheng inquired amongst the Spirit Beasts about Ah Qing's whereabouts and rushed over, bounding through the air with a fox's squeal.

"Little fox is back?"

Seeing Huhu descending from above, Ah Qing disregarded the ongoing video call, quickly reached out, and embraced the little fox leaping into their arms.

"I'm exhausted, you wouldn't believe how outrageously cold the temperatures were on my business trip...."

Snuggled in Ah Qing's arms, Ansheng stretched its limbs in a nest-like manner, smoothing Ah Qing's clothes, lying weakly in Ah Qing's embrace:

"Just look, even my paw pads have turned pale from the cold...."

"Yes yes yes, our great hero, what would you like to eat tonight?"

Ah Qing rolled their eyes, knowing the little fox was trying to gain sympathy, yet still extended a hand to hold the little fox's paw, offering a gentle pat.

After flying from Furui City back to Qingao Island, it was now around four in the afternoon in Xia Country.

In two hours, it would be time for dinner, so Ah Qing asked the little fox who had been on a day-long trip what they would like to eat to rejuvenate and relieve travel fatigue.

"Hey hey hey! Ah Qing, you can't just ditch me when you see the little fox is back!"

"I'm over here...still waiting for you to rescue me!"

"If you don't come soon, they'll be on my bed, eating my takeout, drinking my cola, using my computer to download tutorials from the color sites..."

In the midst of Ah Qing and Huhu's cuddling, surrounded by an atmosphere of harmony, Tang You's dissatisfied voice emerged from the phone tossed to the ground by Ah Qing.

"Hmm?" Ansheng wore a curious expression, glancing at the phone and then at Ah Qing: "What's....going on?"

"Um... something happened at Yu Yu's Family, apparently a pack of wolves broke in there and had quite a romp."

"A romp?"

"Yeah, an all-night party at Yu Yu's Family, it seems some of the foxes joined in too..."
