The European Emperor’s character remains standing

Chapter 208 The Daily Life of Love and Hate (Part 4)
Ever since witnessing the absurd practice of using mosquito coils to bring good fortune, Hua Hua felt like a caveman had encountered a mutated alien, and the key point is that it was really effective.

After much deliberation, he secretly printed out a giant "poster" made from a photo of a deer cub, on which he wrote in his own calligraphy: "May you get rich! May you have good fortune!"

Hu Huahua is an old African.

It once broke the record for the pity system. The game relies entirely on grinding. What if you can't get the card you want and all your pulls are off-target? No problem, there's a big pity system. After 300 pulls, you can customize your selection.

Having witnessed the entire process of the transfer, Huahua's first choice was also the Artemisia brand mosquito repellent incense. By the way, she asked Zhe'er for it, using the excuse that her house was very close to Youjie's and that there were too many bamboo plants in her backyard that attracted mosquitoes.

They were extremely frugal, spending not a single penny throughout the entire process.

"May the deer bless me and bring me wealth."

"Look at me, little deer. Ever since I stopped teaming up with you, all the treasure chests that drop in the other world lately have been full of low-quality items. I have to exchange for what I want and grind for the guaranteed drops. I'm really not doing well anymore."

Having no experience with this kind of thing for the first time, Hua Hua was especially nervous, therefore...

The room was filled with smoke, like a fairyland, and then the smoke alarm was triggered.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Qi Ye's incredulous voice came from the doorway. Her gaze fell on the giant poster that stood out so prominently, and her tone suddenly rose: "The deer cub hasn't even been hung up yet, and you're already burning incense?"

A fatal blow: he forgot to lock the door.

The work was rushed and time was too tight.

There wasn't enough ink for printing, so the only colorful accents were the hair clips and bow ties, with wild, unrestrained cursive script along the edges, which were hung in the center of the room on black silk.

Hua Hua is a clean freak. The room is mainly decorated in black, white and gray, and is kept spotless. At this moment, the surrounding smoke covers the only color in the picture, blurring the boundary between life and death.

He quickly pulled his unfortunate younger brother into the room and immediately turned off Qiye's terminal to prevent this damned dark history from being recorded.

He locked the door, put away the poster, opened the window for ventilation, and said, "Tell me, what kind of hush money do you want to keep quiet about what you just saw?"

Qiye rarely had the upper hand in front of her brother, and upon hearing this, the little light bulb above her head suddenly lit up.

"Anything is fine?" he asked excitedly.

"You said."

Since it concerns her reputation, Hua Hua takes it very seriously. Also, Qi Ye is a loose tongue. If she doesn't pay him hush money, he might blurt it out one day, causing her to lose face. And Zhe Er might even hold a grudge and bring it up from time to time.

Qi Ye thought about it carefully for a moment and really didn't have any needs. "I haven't thought about it yet. How about you listen to me for the next few days and do whatever I tell you to do?"

Unconsciously, the little fox's tail swayed faster, and he smiled smugly, thinking to himself, "Great! For the first time, I've gained the upper hand in front of my brother."

Beard Feng smiled insincerely and said, "Okay."

"If there's anything you need me to do next, just tell me, and I'll try my best to meet your requirements. You can think about it carefully during this time; I'm at your beck and call." The last sentence seemed to be forced out from between his teeth.

Qi Ye was secretly delighted, like a victorious rooster walking towards the door, completely unaware that he had left his terminal behind.

At this moment, Hua Hua began to quickly destroy the evidence at the scene, wanting to destroy the giant poster and everything related to it.

Mosquito coils that have burned for a long time and are reduced to ash don't require special treatment. However, giant posters are difficult to deal with and take a very long time to remove.

Qi Ye, cracking sunflower seeds, called out, "Brother, I want to eat fruit. Cut me a fruit platter, but don't use apples. Peel and juice the sugarcane, remove the pits from the cherries and strawberries, and make a light fruit jelly."

After hearing this, Hua Hua felt like she had been out of her mind just a few minutes ago, but there was really nothing she could do. During the time Lu Zai was away from the game, all she got from opening treasure chests was junk-level items; it was too much to bear.

The most painful thing in the world is to have something and then lose it again, or to have something and then let it slip by.

If I had never seen or owned any of these rare items before, it would be fine, but I had indeed owned them before and even personally pulled out quite a few.

During this period, I was able to improve my abilities by exchanging items that were of great sentimental value but not very useful to me.

He tried to hide the poster, and to make sure the other party was not surprised, he came out and locked the door behind him, replying, "Yes, sir, I'm coming right away."

Qi Ye spread her hands and said, "After you've cut up the fruit platter, could you also sweep the floor for me a little while you're at it? And could you also peel some of my favorite sunflower seeds for me? I want 999 of them, not one less! If you don't, I don't know when I might accidentally reveal my brother's embarrassing past."

Seeing the coffee table, sofa, and floor covered with sunflower seed shells, and hearing the sounds of a palace drama coming from the TV, Hu Zifeng felt that every action Qi Ye took was repeatedly pushing the boundaries of his authority. He suppressed his anger and took a deep breath: "Okay, please wait a moment."

After making the fruit platter as requested by Qiye, I went to the study to get the mini food processor.

Qiye was still engrossed in the story and couldn't pull herself away. While eating a fruit platter, she exclaimed that she never thought her brother would have such a day. It was so awesome!
As usual, whenever my brother saw me doing this, he would scold me and make me clean it myself. Whenever this happened, I had to do it even if I was unwilling, and I dared not say anything, only daring to complain in my heart that I was a germaphobe.

It's true what they say, what goes around comes around, and heaven has eyes!

Qiye was so engrossed in her own world that she didn't notice that the terminal had never been in her hand since she left the room.

His voice was languid, "Oh, right, my dear brother. You'll have to clean it yourself later, don't let the fox spirit help you and take the opportunity to slack off. You have to clean it yourself, don't miss any corner, wipe it again if you see even the slightest speck of dust."

Hu Zifeng cut the poster into large pieces so that it could be put into the shredder more quickly. After confirming that it was turned on, he clicked on the maximum power and waited for it to finish.

Turn off the shredder, pour the fragments into a container, and ignite it to begin the secondary destruction process.

As long as you act quickly, your dark past will not exist! Words are meaningless without evidence, so it doesn't matter what Ren Qiye says.

Only after the ashes were disposed of and it was confirmed that there was absolutely no way to restore them and that no trace of them could be found did I finally feel relieved.

Even after deleting the shredder's usage records and putting it back in its original place, Qiye still didn't notice. He was imagining a future where his brother would submit to him. As long as he had this leverage, he would no longer be afraid of being controlled or interfered with.

A large face drew close, and a cold voice rang out: "You have three minutes to clean up this mess, or you'll face the consequences."

Qiye sprang to her feet with a conditioned reflex and replied, "Yes, sir!"

"No, that's not right. Now I have something on you, so you should listen to me."

"Ha, is that so?" Hua Hua sneered. "What evidence do you have? Words are meaningless; don't slander me. Otherwise, I might sue you for defamation!"

He raised an eyebrow, his expression no longer as tense as before. Qi Ye rushed into the room, as if the scene he had seen before was just an illusion, and the scene had long been completely destroyed by someone.

"You!" Qi Ye was speechless. She could only slide to her knees and hug her brother's leg, displaying her ancestral skill—changing her expression.

"Brother, I was wrong." He blinked, trying to act cute. "Look at your adorable little brother, how can you bear to do this to me?"

Hua Hua's lips curled up, her fox-like eyes revealing a cunning glint. "Of course I can bear it, after all, my dear little brother just turned on me and threatened me, his older brother, a few minutes ago."

In the ears of the seven leaves, this was undoubtedly a death sentence.

"Right now, clean up this mess you made right now, and then cook."

It's true what they say, fortunes really do change!
The terminal was flashing. Hua Hua wanted to say something more, but due to a communication issue, she left with the words, "Wait for me to come back. I want to see the results."

Watching her brother return to his room, Qiye began cleaning up, quickly tidying up the mess. As she cleaned, she sighed, "I really shouldn't get carried away. But it wasn't all for nothing; at least my brother made me a fruit platter."

When Sanhua came out, Qiye flattered her, "Please inspect this place. I guarantee it will be spotless. Otherwise, I'll take care of all the cleaning in the house for the rest of the week." Her tone was full of confidence, a testament to her decades of experience in dealing with trouble and cleaning up messes.

This happened more than once. After careful inspection, Sanhua found no problems. The cleaning was indeed very thorough, and the trash was not hidden but placed in the trash can.

After a quick glance, Qi Ye replied, "I'll go throw it away in a bit, but time is a bit tight. I can only inspect it first, and then I can't finish it properly."

"Good job. I can give you a bigger increase in your allowance this week."

Qiye's allowance is in the hands of her older brother. If she behaves well, her allowance will increase this week. If she behaves poorly, her allowance will be deducted according to the chart she has set. It would not be surprising if she lost all her allowance.

“Lu Zai and the others called and asked us to come over for dinner. Go to the kitchen and get some ingredients. I remember Dad put the fresh ingredients in the fridge, so take a lot. Zhe Er said that Lu Zai hasn't said anything lately, but she seems a bit down. I'll make some extra dessert later, you can have some too.”

He became particularly excited at the mention of eating seven leaves, it seemed he was in for a treat. He fawned, "I know, I know, I'll get it for you, you can rest here, you go ahead."

Hua Hua remained silent, "..."

To be honest, he wasn't really at ease with Qi Ye, fearing that he might spill the ingredients halfway there as soon as he arrived.

At that time, no one will be able to eat hot meals.

"I'll take these, you can have those." He gestured to Qiye, indicating that she only needed to take the fresh vegetables, leaving no room for argument: "I'll take the meat and other ingredients." It's always more reassuring to do things yourself, without worrying about your bratty little brother causing trouble.

A few minutes later, we arrived safely.

Sister You said calmly, "You're here? I've prepared all my signature dishes. You can choose the rest; I've saved a seat for you."

"Have you brought all the tools for making desserts?" Shao Shao and Qing Xuan stood in front of the kitchen door, keeping a close watch on any two enthusiastic people who wanted to enter the kitchen.

He said, "If not all of them, I have some brand new ones on hand."

Hua Hua nodded, "I've brought them all."

After waiting for a long time, the two culinary novices who had been hoping to enter the kitchen expressed their dissatisfaction, saying, "Why can Huahua go in? We can too. We just want to help carry a bowl and wash some vegetables."

The little deer reached out and tugged at Sister You's clothes, looking on longingly, "Youyou, can I go into the kitchen? I don't want to stay outside and do nothing. I can help you."

Seeing the situation was turning bad, Qingxuan shouted, "Sister, calm down!"

At this moment, Qi Ye and the others had entered the kitchen. Hua Hua was the head chef, with Shao Shao and Qi Ye assisting. Si Yuan had taken Shao Shao's place, adhering to the principle that unauthorized personnel were prohibited from entering the kitchen.

"I'm sorry, I really can't let you into the kitchen." Sister You turned her head away with a pained expression. She was so cute just now, I really wanted to take a picture. "Have some candy, eating something sweet will make you feel better." She took out some candy from her pocket, put it in the two of them, turned around and went into the kitchen, and instructed, "You two keep an eye on them and don't let them into the kitchen."

As they passed each other, he whispered in their ears, "If these two go into the kitchen, I don't need to say more about the consequences. Whether we survive today depends on the two of you. You bear this heavy responsibility."

The two were bursting with a sense of mission; they absolutely could not let them into the kitchen today.

Warm daily routines and unchanging friendships are always something to cherish.

For Lu Zai and Fold Ear, today is another day of outsmarting and outmaneuvering Sister You and the others in order to get into the kitchen!

The group's darling deer. I was almost finished coding when the script started crashing several times. I almost experienced despair; my heart was completely broken.
