Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 151 To the Minister

"I've worked really hard today, so I'll give you a chicken drumstick as a reward."

Jiu Yue's cheeks were flushed, and she contentedly put a chicken leg on her plate. Under her temptation, Mr. Ming Yuan finally fell under her spell, skipped the party hosted by the Third Prince, and the two of them slipped out of the palace together and came to this roast chicken restaurant that had the slogan "All-you-can-eat chicken".

The specific method was to wrap her hands and feet around Mr. Mingyuan and refuse to come down unless he agreed.

She learned this trick from a video.

When children want to buy toys in the mall and their parents disagree, they will hug their parents' arms or thighs and refuse to leave.

Simple, but effective.

She had done some research on the first day she arrived at Chaozhong, and found out that this roast chicken restaurant was the highest-rated civilian restaurant in the vicinity and was very popular among working people.

The restaurant was bustling with activity. Workers who were off work gathered here in groups of three or four, telling each other the strange stories they had heard recently.

The news about the fox fairy has already spread here. Jiu Yue heard at least three tables of people discussing her. Fortunately, the sleight of hand can save them a lot of unnecessary trouble.

It is feeding time and no one can disturb this sacred moment.

"Mr. Mingyuan, you should try it too. The surface is very crispy and the meat is very juicy. The owner of this shop is indeed a roast chicken master!"

Gourmet September acknowledged the level of this restaurant and allowed the other party to use the name of Immortal.

Jiu Yue introduced, "It is said on the Internet that this roast chicken shop has a history of hundreds of years. It was located here when Chaozhong was just built. The current owner is the 9th generation successor. They have studied the roast chicken recipe for generations and honed this skill to the pinnacle. The first thing their children learned after they became sensible was to roast chicken."

"This is marketing copy, and it's the kind that's long out of date."

Duan Mingyuan reminded that these days only naive little foxes like Jiu Yue would believe the propaganda on the Internet.

He has seen at least a dozen identical copywritings, all with the same format, except that “roasted chicken” is replaced with “barbecue,” “skewers,” “curry,” and “cocktails.”

In his opinion, the main reason why this store is so popular is that it is economical. In a place like the court where every inch of land is valuable, it is truly a breath of fresh air to be able to keep the price of a roast chicken at 45 shells.

"Wait a minute, no one is trying to snatch it from you, it's already on the corner of your mouth."

"where?"

Jiu Yue's two hands were tripped by the Pipa Legs, so she put her mouth close to Duan Mingyuan and asked for help.

Duan Mingyuan used his index finger to help wipe the meat residue from the corner of her mouth. Before he could retract his finger, the little fox opened his mouth and put his index finger into his mouth, licking his index finger clean with his tongue.

Warm mouth, crisp and numbing feeling.

He tried to pull out his index finger several times, but Jiu Yue bit it gently with her teeth, and the part that was touched felt a little itchy.

It's been itching all the way to my heart.

Duan Mingyuan always felt that Jiu Yue was becoming more and more charming recently, and was gradually moving closer to the beautiful woman who brings disaster as described in the records.

The charm index of a fox demon may be related to age.

Duan Mingyuan would not be fooled in vain, at least he came to some academic conclusions - the age between 20 and 30 is the peak period of fox demon's charm, as long as they show their charm a little, they will attract countless people to rush into the flame.

He still remembered the look in the square-faced minister's eyes when they left, and he kept staring at him until they left the passage.

Those eyes that showed an accident.

Out of jealousy, he used his power to investigate his background, and then used some shady means to coerce and bribe him to steal his love. This kind of thing should not be considered a new thing in the court where people are killed like killing chickens. If it were put in some banned works, the square-faced minister might be able to succeed.

But this is the real world. Duan Mingyuan believes that the square-faced minister, who holds a high position, should be a rational and decent person who understands that most things in life are not satisfactory.

Thinking of this, he did not speak to the minister or ask for his name until he left.

Duan Mingyuan felt that the minister had already written everything on his face: Minister Steve, the magic trick passed down from generation to generation in our family is to hit things with a hoe.

However, it turned out that his reasoning was wrong and he seemed to have trusted the minister's rationality too much.

The roast chicken shop fell silent before anyone noticed; the breaking news being reported on the wall-mounted TV attracted everyone's attention.

It's about Minister Steve.

The minister did not try to use the power in his hands to do whatever he wanted as in the banned works, but exercised the power that belongs to every natural person - while the staff were not paying attention, he climbed to the roof of the theater alone, stood on the edge of the roof, and reviewed his life in the cold wind.

Then, he jumped down from a tall building and landed straight in front of the gate of the Emerald Theater.

The scene was quite tragic.

Although the news was blurred, one could still vaguely see that when people heard the noise and rushed over, Minister Steve had turned into small red squares all over the ground.

The good news is that the minister did not follow the path of the Dark Minotaur until the end of his life; the bad news is that he chose to end his life due to the severe blow.

To be honest, Duan Mingyuan was confused when he saw the news.

Looking at the small red squares on the ground on TV, he couldn't really understand the sudden cases reported in the news with his cognition.

After preliminary investigation by the theater, it was found that the minister committed suicide, and there was no possibility that an assassin had sneaked into the theater to assassinate a loyal minister.

Isn’t it necessary just because I was rejected by Miss Fox Fairy?

Just jump like that?
"Who is that?"

September was not affected at all by the tragic scenes in the news. She continued to eat with gusto and had no idea how cruel her problem was.

Not only did the fox fairy lady reject him, she also gave him another kick on his way to heaven.

"It's the Minister."

"What minister?"

"Minister Steve, he should be from the Mineral Bureau."

"Oh."

September nodded, "No wonder it shattered like ore."

When she was a child, she saw humans running into the mountains to mine and burying bombs next to the huge rocks. After the explosion, the rocks would shatter into pieces.

Bless Minister Steve, may his soul rest in peace.

The kind-hearted September silently prayed for the minister in her heart.

After praying, she used her phone to scan the order code on the table and ordered another serving of cumin crispy roast chicken, noting to add more cumin.

"For the Minister!"

She picked up the other drumstick and used it as a wine glass to raise a toast in memory.

No one would use chicken legs to replace wine, people would just use tea, which is similar in color to beer, to disguise it.

Having said that, Duan Mingyuan still reflexively picked up the teacup on the table and clinked it with the chicken leg in Jiuyue's hand.

"To the Minister."
