Chapter 311: Episode 29.2 You might fall in love with me all over again!

"I’m filled with great happiness to see all of you respond to my invitation— especially from our neighboring counties. Being a hunter must make your schedule full for the entire year, and all of you being here makes me say these heartfelt words: thank you for celebrating this night with us."

Minutes later, Shen Yuan and everyone in the banquet hall listened to the prime minister’s rehearsed speech.

Chairman Mao is not in his seat now. He is presently shadowing the high-ranking man with Mo Lihua.

The prime minister’s arrival is a perfect excuse for Mo Lihua and Bai Tingfeng to not interact.

As for Mo Zhu, god bless his heart. He still has not returned to their table yet. The friction between his father and crush might be too much for his thick skin. He’s probably moping somewhere, downing a bottle of champagne.

Later maybe he will get himself a good one-night stand. A broken heart, alcohol and party? This combination builds the perfect start of an angsty love affair.

The celestial fox spirit read countless BL books that went in that same direction. He could easily imagine it happening to Mo Zhu.

Anyway, that is not his business.

Shen Yuan just let himself be satisfied that he is finally far away from the two people who are constantly stirring up drama.

Shen Yuan looked at the prime minister.

Truthfully, Shen Yuan is not sure yet whether to like or hate this guy. He’s been bothered enough by the Mo family’s mother-and-son duo that he grew a considerable aversion to people with the same surname.

With zero personal conversation, it is beyond the celestial fox spirit to know whether Prime Minister Mo Zichen is the same pain in the ass as his sister and nephew.

So far, the only thing he could take note of about the person is that he is an alpha and...

"He’s quite charming. He surely fits the mold of a politician."

Bai Tingfeng caught wind of the whisper and readily explained, "The Mo family has been into politics since the reestablishment of government after the Great Cataclysm. They made sure that all of their children will have a place in the government."

"So, while the Bai family raised their kids to be hunters, the Mo family trained theirs to be sophists?! But what happened to Mo Lihua? I heard she’s his sister. How come she’s now a guild master, not a stateswoman or something?" Shen Yuan asked.

Based on that woman’s personality, she will do a great job destroying the government.

Bai Tingfeng was caught off guard, "D-do you have anything against politicians?"

"No?" Shen Yuan asked, a little confused. "I am just saying that matter-of-factly. What made you assume I am like that?"

Bai Tingfeng was speechless.

Director Song softly laughed on the side. He’s actually listening to them all this time by accident.

"There’s a bit of truth in your opinion, I must say. And to answer your question, the Mo family is considering expanding their influence outside politics. They wanted to boost their prestige to appeal more to the masses."

"What better way to achieve it all than being a hunter?" Admiral Wu Jin chimed in, speaking in low volume. "Fame comes naturally if you are a hunter. By building the Crimson Guild and putting Guild Master Mo Lihua in charge, they can flex their S-class fire mage in such a grand way."

"A family who can lead and strong enough to fight monsters and raid dungeons?! Wow! That’s so sounds cool!" Wu Jin exaggeratedly said. "You see, they can easily earn favorability from the common people using that banner. The other members of the Mo family never lost an election since the Crimson Guild was established."

Hearing this, Shen Yuan realized something.

Is Mo Lihua resentful about the failed engagement because of this? It doesn’t take a genius to realize that the fastest way to reach their goal is to marry into the family with the broadest and deepest connection in the dungeon-hunting industry.

Shen Yuan can bet his ass that Mo Lihua will most likely take advantage of anything and everything the Bai family has to offer once they became related by marriage. It became clear now why his father-in-law, Rong Suyin, made sure that the marriage between the two families would never happen.

’What a ruse. Thankfully, my Tingfeng didn’t fall for that,’ The celestial fox thought.

"Are you mad at the prime minister?" To Wu Jin’s shock, Chairman Song asked, amused.

Admiral Wu Jin felt like caterpillars crawled in his skin when he heard the question. He almost stood up while denying, "Of course not... It just..."

The alpha navy admiral can’t continue.

Shen Yuan knowingly nodded his head, "I can relate to you. No questions asked. Sometimes it’s hard to talk about our bosses." His head whipped quickly to Director Song’s direction and quickly clarified. "Don’t get me wrong, Chairman Mao is an amazing boss. However, there are times when..." Shen Yuan shrugged his shoulders.

Director Song nodded his head understandingly. "He’s annoying especially when he’s blindsiding people."

"Right!" Shen Yuan exclaimed loudly.

He didn’t know that his voice just cut the speech of the prime minister. Now the attention returned to its rightful recipient.

"Can’t he ask me my opinion before sending me to missions or handing me paperwork? He loves overloading me with work. Take the recent dungeon incident. Does he expect me to cut my body in half to supervise that many dungeons simultaneously?! Chairman Mao, he’s—"

"Ehem."

Shen Yuan blinked his eyes. That sounds like it came from speakers. He slowly looked up and realized that the speakers and esteemed shadows were looking at him.

They are in the very front of the seating arrangement. It’s not hard to guess what happened.

"This- They heard everything I said, right?"

Bai Tingfeng intertwined his hands with Shen Yuan’s.

"I think so? Sorry. I’m not listening to him. I’m just listening to you."

Shen Yuan gave his husband a look that translated to: You are such a simp.

Admiral Wu Jin defensively slumped back to his seat while Director Song’s smile became noticeable.

"I guess I belong to the naughty list this time, huh?"

The celestial fox spirit shifted his attention in front and there; he saw Chairman Mao motioning slitting his throat like a snotty brat. He relaxed, "I’m glad you heard it."

"It’s comforting that our S-class omega agrees with me," Prime Minister Mo skillfully stirred his speech with an unwavering smile, proving to the celestial fox spirit the exceptional rhetorical skill he possessed.

Shen Yuan’s eyes somehow landed on Mo Lihua who was standing on the prime minister’s right side.

They are siblings yet the difference in their eloquence is staggering.

Someone should do their homework before declaring war on another family.

The sassy celestial fox spirit rolled his eyes. What he didn’t notice is this action caught the attention of Prime Minister Mo, and an inexplicable emotion flashed behind those smiling eyes. It quickly went away like an apparition.

"As I’ve said, tonight is the night we celebrate the great feat of one of our top hunters." Prime Minister Mo continued.

"Bai Tingfeng and his hunters from Baihu Guild foiled a terrorist plot and stopped an A-rank dungeon from breaking. Impressive? I think so, too. But that doesn’t stop there. Wait until you see how Bai Tingfeng singlehandedly severed the heads of Eight-Headed Hydra with a single slash." The prime minister exuberantly waved his hand.

A sparkly golden fire shot from his palms. The fire exploded in the air, and a split second later, it turned into a magical golden screen.

"It’s just like the Sister Qilin’s magic CCTV." Shen Yuan commented without realizing it.

His eyes remained glued to the screen. Then he realized that the scene playing in it was the battle between Bai Tingfeng and the Eight-Headed Hydra!

The guests watched the clip for the first time while holding their breaths. They are immersed in the great adversary that Bai Tingfeng went through.

When the iconic moment appears, some hunters snappily stand up without even realizing it.

Normal people wouldn’t understand, but the majority of the people here understood the difficulties of hunting a boss monster.

They all agree that calling this a "great feat" was a big understatement. It should even be a crime to call it just that.

What they witnessed was a legend! That’s a rare S-class boss monster!

Without a cue, a burst of applause thundered in the banquet hall.

Bai Tingfeng’s straight face gained a tinge of pink while Shen Yuan was on the side, applauding just like everyone else.

"I am married to that guy," Shen Yuan teasingly whispered to his husband, causing the seriousness on Bai Tingfeng’s face to disappear.

A small smile replaced it.

Chairman Mao signalled him to stand in the front with them and deliver a few words for the guests.

Bai Tingfeng isn’t fond of speeches and if this was the usual, he would decline the invitation in a heartbeat. However, for the sake of the person who’s been overlooked since earlier, he will bravely take the spotlight.

He stood with his huge body and slightly leaned down on his husband.

"Make sure you keep your eyes and ears on me," Bai Tingfeng whispered to Shen Yuan.

Puzzled but still giddy about his husband’s success, Shen Yuan wrinkled his forehead and asked dumbly, "Huh? Why?"

Bai Tingfeng made a silly smile. "You might fall in love with me all over again."
