Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 224

Chapter 224: Chapter 222: Leia Abducts Bai Su

So, Mr. Qin stepped forward with a chuckle and said, "It’s just a little squabble between youngsters. There’s no need to take it so seriously."

"It is indeed getting late. Anyone who’s tired is free to head home. For those who’d like to stay and have fun, we will of course be happy to entertain you."

"Please, everyone come back inside. It’s not a good look to be standing around out here."

Mrs. Qin went forward to lead the aggrieved Qin Nuo back into the banquet hall.

Before anyone could react, Qin Nuo had already run off, the faint sound of her crying trailing behind her.

Her heart aching for her daughter, Mrs. Qin gave Mr. Qin a meaningful look, then turned and hurried after her.

The banquet continued with Mr. Qin presiding.

But the mood had grown much colder. After all, only the small-timers were left, and Mr. Qin’s desire to play host had diminished somewhat.

He shot a look at Xiao Yi, the president of the Medical Alliance, who had yet to leave.

Having received the signal, Xiao Yi lowered his gaze and discreetly exited the banquet hall.

Bai Su looked at the massive crowd that had followed her out and said with a sense of helplessness, "You all really didn’t have to..."

Gu Yong, now without his earlier dignified air, just laughed heartily. "Miss Bai Su, please don’t feel burdened. I’m getting old, and it really is time for me to leave. This is a perfect excuse to have Alan take me home."

Li Chenlin leaned against her as if he had no bones. "Wherever you go, I go. Don’t you dare ditch me!"

Rosa Meiya copied his move, leaning in. "Ditto!"

Li Chenlin shoved her away. "Get lost! What gives you the right to stand with me?"

Rosa Meiya’s face twisted in anger. She turned, grabbed Bai Su’s arm, and whined, "Susu, look at him! Bullying your bestie is the same as bullying you! He’s showing you no respect!"

After all their clowning around, much of the gloom in Bai Su’s heart had dissipated. She couldn’t help but say with an amused laugh, "Alright, that’s enough. There’s a child present. Have you no shame?"

After coming outside, Wen Dabao was draped over Wen Lan’s shoulder, already dozing off.

Bai Su’s heart went out to the child. She retrieved a scarf from her smart-brain’s storage and handed it to Wen Lan. "The wind’s picking up. You should wrap her in this."

Wen Lan, for his part, didn’t refuse and accepted the scarf.

Bai Su then said, "Back in the banquet hall... thank you."

Wen Lan raised an eyebrow.

Bai Su said, "You were the one who had Da Bao smash the table, weren’t you."

’Given Wen Dabao’s troublemaking nature, she would have wanted nothing more than for Bai Su to crush Qin Nuo on the court. Why would she be the one to destroy the table?’

Wen Lan didn’t nod, but he didn’t deny it either.

Bai Su said, "In any case, thank you for tonight."

In the distance, the two youngsters from the Bounty Hunter Guild watched the group but didn’t follow any closer.

Bai Xiaoshe asked, "Big brother, aren’t we going to follow?"

Bai Xiaolang replied, "No. They’re all together. We’d be easily exposed. Let’s go."

Bai Xiaoshe could only nod and quietly left with Bai Xiaolang.

’This trip wasn’t a total waste, though. At least they could now be certain that the backer behind the Medical Alliance was, in all likelihood, the Qin Family.’

’No wonder Xiao Yi was so arrogant. No wonder the International Alliance still couldn’t touch the Medical Alliance, despite all the evil they had done.’

「Elsewhere.」

Bai Su and the others were joking around as they prepared to head back to Snow Country, waiting by the roadside for their heli-pod to arrive.

Suddenly, a RUMBLING sound filled the sky.

Bai Su instinctively sensed danger and dodged to the side.

A Light Energy Bomb plummeted down, landing between her and the others with Li Chenlin.

As the explosion rang out, Bai Su was instantly cut off from the rest of the group.

Li Chenlin sensed something was wrong, and his first instinct was to grab Bai Su.
