Chapter 574: 574
Xu Xin was also rendered speechless by Happy’s reaction . She remembered their conversation and his tone that would cause a lot of misunderstandings . It made it sound as if they were an old married couple, and she felt a little light-headed . Her face went completely red, and when her friends looked at her with strange and ambiguous looks, she felt her ears burn as if she were a child who stole a candy .
Her first thought was to glare at Happy to clear the misunderstanding, but she suddenly remembered the scene at noon yesterday, when she saw a hint of sadness that flashed briefly past his face, and she could not help but abandon the idea of trying to explain the situation .
“Xin, not bad, girl . ”
When the girls saw that Xu Xin did not bother to explain herself, they thought that she had really agreed to date Happy, and the misunderstanding became even more thorough .
“Tsk tsk, you quietly ensnared the best in the University of South China together with his stomach . ”
“Tell us your story . Which base are you at right now?”
Xu Xin said nothing . While the girls chattered on, she felt incredibly diffident . As for Happy, he looked very calm and relaxed . He just smiled without saying anything .
Xu Xin could only look to Xu Yao for help .
Xu Yao was not someone simple . At that moment, she decided to come out and make things even more chaotic . “I think we should ask Happy, you know? Hmph, what sort of trickery did you use on our Xu Xin that the department princess of the Computer Engineering Department willingly cooked for you for a few months?”
Even though she sounded as if she was just trying to make things more chaotic for the fun of it, she did manage to divert everyone’s attention .
When Happy noticed the five girls’ gaze gather on him, he intentionally put on a thoughtful expression . “Hmm, I really can’t say . I don’t know whether it’s because Xu Xin is full of maternal love and decided to treat me like a wandering dog or if she came over with other motives . But Xu Xin’s food is very delicious, so she’ll definitely make a good wife in the future . ”
“OOOOHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!”
The girls squealed at the same time .

Xu Xin felt like dying from embarrassment . She did not expect that Happy would play up the joke to such a degree . If word about it spread out, she would definitely die of embarrassment .
“Big Sis Yao Yao, eat up . Try this . ” Xu Xin glared at Happy while she picked up some food to divert everyone’s attention .
She did not notice that Xu Yao was a little absent-minded . She just nodded and picked up a few coriander leaves that she placed in her mouth .
Happy had been paying attention to Xu Yao from the start, so he obviously noticed her actions . He frowned . Then, he saw Xu Yao’s expression change . She immediately frowned too .
“Big Sis Yao Yao, what’s wrong? Is the food not good?” Xu Xin also noticed Xu Yao’s abnormal reaction .
Xu Yao quickly shook her head and chewed while she forced herself to smile . “Of course not . I was thinking of something just now . It’s nothing . The food you made is very delicious . It’s no wonder why Happy refuses to let you go . ”
“Big Sis Yao Yao, you’re teasing me again . I really…” Xu Xin cast a glance at Happy . She felt embarrassed and angry, but she did not say her subsequent words .
At that moment, Happy found himself unable to continue watching .
“If you can’t eat coriander, spit it out . The toilet is over there . Don’t go getting an allergy later . ” His tone was neither cold nor indifferent, and it caused the people at the dining table to become stunned .
“Big Sis Yao Yao, you can’t eat coriander? Ah, I didn’t know . ”
Xu Xin was a girl who was not very sensitive to certain details . When she heard Happy’s words, she was immediately worried about Xu Yao, and she did not notice that her other three good friends had discovered something else from the situation . When they saw Xu Yao stare at Happy in shock before she immediately got up, covered her mouth, and ran to the toilet, they realized that what Happy had said was true . Their gazes when they looked at him became puzzled .
One of the girls asked tentatively, “Happy, how did you know that Xu Yao doesn’t eat coriander?”
“She was eating really mechanical . Who wouldn’t be able to guess?” Happy rolled his eyes after saying that .

“But based on your tone just now, you sounded like you even knew that she was allergic to coriander . We didn’t know about this,” another girl said with curiosity and the spirit of gossip burning in her .
“Ask her this question when she gets back . ”
It was only at that moment that Happy remembered that Xu Yao had never touched coriander while she was in the university and that she did not tell anyone that she was allergic to coriander because the body part which was allergic to coriander was a rather embarrassing spot…
‘This is bad!’
Happy suddenly felt a headache build in his head . He seemed to have unintentionally revealed some information he should not have .
At that moment, Xu Yao walked out of the toilet with Xu Xin accompanying her . There was a slightly apologetic look on her face . “Sorry . ”
“It’s fine . Just tell us next time if there’s anything you can’t eat . We’re all classmates and friends . It’s fine . ”
“Okay . ”
“By the way, Xu Yao . Will you get any allergies from eating coriander?” A girl deliberately cast Happy a glance .
Xu Yao was dazed . “Where did you hear that from?”
“Don’t bother about that . Is it true?” The girl was very cunning with the way she worded her question .
A hint of shyness flashed on Xu Yao’s face, but she soon covered it up and said resolutely, “Of course not . I just don’t like the taste of coriander . ”
“Is that so?” The sensitive girls still noticed how stiff Xu Yao acted .
Only Xu Xin remained ignorant of all that . She just asked Xu Yao whether she experienced any discomfort anywhere and whether there was anything else she could not eat .
Xu Xin’s friends were anxious for her and thought she was just too pure . She had actually brought such a huge rival in love into the apartment, and there was no doubt that she would cause a lot of trouble in the future .
The meal ended in a strange atmosphere .
When it was time to wash the plates, Xu Yao volunteered, but Xu Xin refused her offer while saying that she was a guest and told Happy to chat with the others in the living room .
“Happy, I heard from foreign magazines that you earn tens of billions worth of silver every day, and if it was converted, it would be worth billions in RMB . Is it true?”
The girls’ spirit of gossip burned, and it was so hot that Happy felt a little awkward . He really did not want to talk about such a topic, so he immediately pretended to be an idiot of the situation .
“Hehe, I wouldn’t know where they obtained that data . They might be talking about the money entering the clan, but we also use up a lot of money every month . In any case, you can’t believe their words . ”
“That’s what I think as well . If you could really earn that much per month in a game, then wouldn’t all the businesses in the real world go bankrupt? Everyone would just move into the game . ” One of the girls seemed to have found some sort of psychological balance .
‘In truth, there are already quite a lot of industries that have moved into the game and are prepared to set up their business there . ’
Happy would naturally not say that .
“Perhaps there will be great developments in the game, but it should not be as exaggerated as you think it is,” he answered in a normal tone .
“That’s right . The foreign media always love exaggerating facts . ”
The girls agreed with Happy’s words .
Only Xu Yao did not say anything . She was a relatively high ranking member in Mu Clan, so she had an extraordinary clear insight on the cash flow in the clan . She was also very sensitive to it .
Because of that, she knew that a part of what the foreign media said about the numbers was real . There were nearly one hundred thousand members in Mu Clan, and there were ten thousand occupations who could earn huge bucks . They earned around one hundred thousand each month, and they made up part of Mu Clan’s income .
Happy was clearly humoring the girls .
But Xu Yao would not reveal stuff like that right in front of her boss . Besides, there was a faint burn on her chest at that moment . Some small rashes should have appeared by then .
Just when Xu Yao was wondering whether she should say something to leave, she suddenly noticed Happy’s gaze sweeping over her chest, and she immediately stiffened up .
She could clearly sense that his gaze was not filled with any disrespect, but was strangely focused .

Tales of Ordinary, Completely Unremarkable Contractors
"Where life had no value, death, sometimes, had its price. That is why the mercenaries appeared." - Artur Xerxes, in A Century of Disappointment: Memoirs of a Travelling Dwarf It's never too difficult to land contracts for a set very specialised skills in a continent teeming with werewolves, vampires, giant leopards, undead and, god forbid, elves. The difficulty comes when these contractors find themselves suffocated in the dense atmosphere of this world's rigid - and mostly unfair - rules; death, suffering and misfortune await those unwilling to sacrifice to bend these in their favour. In this non-linear plot, you will observe a scarred and deformed farm girl cashing her first bounty posters, a seemingly ordinary barmaid at a tavern in the bustling centre of a sprawling, corrupt city and an enigmatic leader of a firm specialising in dealings any other would consider suicidal. Watch them all take everything to the next level at every available opportunity, and then feel dread at the thought that this still might not be enough to halt the physical embodiment of doom about to do what it does best Please, feel free to review and comment! Any sort of feedback can help me become a better writer and write more engaging stories for you. I used to update once every 3-5 days, but this rewrite is taking much too long...I do hope it will be worth it.
