"You arrived so quickly."
Ye Feng said reluctantly.
Yang Qingning did not respond, offering a lady-like smile instead.
Ye Feng checked his watch; it was twelve o'clock.
"Qingning, it's noon now. Are you hungry?"
Seeing that Yang Qingning ignored his previous remark, Ye Feng threw out another topic, even though he no longer needed to eat after his Pure White Body evolved.
"Hmm, a little hungry."
Yang Qingning nodded.
"Then go make some food, and I'll eat a little too."
Ye Feng said shamelessly.
"Hehe, I still have some work to do. Why don't you cook, and we can eat together?"
Yang Qingning frowned slightly, feeling speechless inside, but she declined calmly on the surface.
Hearing Yang Qingning say this, Ye Feng calculated for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Yang Qingning returned to the Security Team office first.
Ye Feng watched Yang Qingning walk away.
He couldn't help but think to himself.
In the romance guide he read in his past life, the second chapter mentioned this exact situation.
"If a girl asks you to cook, it means she is interested in you. This is an opportunity for you to show yourself. Making a meal with love for a beauty is the best way to increase mutual affection. You must take this opportunity to show off your strengths."
"Yes, that's the part. I was single for over a decade in my past life, and it was only after reading this that I almost got a girlfriend."
Ye Feng muttered to himself, lost in thought.
Action speaks louder than words; Ye Feng rushed into the house and headed straight for the kitchen.
Outside the Scrap Yard.
"What is wrong with you two?"
"Clown Emperor told you to find an opportunity to kill Ye Feng, and this is how you find opportunities?"
Heavenly Dragon looked at Mad Bull and Little White Rabbit with an annoyed expression and questioned them.
Mad Bull remained lying on the lounge chair, completely unmoved by Heavenly Dragon's questioning, and still did not say a word.
"Brother Dragon, although we are relaxing, we are indeed looking for an opportunity. You cannot frame us."
Little White Rabbit, however, glanced at the indifferent Mad Bull and hurriedly explained.
"Looking for an opportunity? How many hours has it been?"
"You are either resting on the lounge chair or eating, just like you're on vacation. Is this what you call looking for an opportunity?"
"And just now, there was such a good opportunity when Yang Yong wasn't by their side. Why didn't you make a move?"
Heavenly Dragon, wearing golden armor and a True Dragon mask, said angrily.
Clown Emperor had sent him to secretly supervise the two and have them kill Ye Feng. He didn't expect that half a day had passed, and all they did was rest. There was no progress on the mission at all!
"Brother Niu said it wasn't the right time yet..."
"Little White Rabbit, you are just too naive to believe in a coward like Mad Bull!"
Heavenly Dragon interrupted Little White Rabbit's speech domineeringly.
"He is just afraid of death. Even when Yang Yong isn't there, he doesn't dare to make a move. He's a coward. He should just quit the Twelve Zodiacs himself; he's really bringing shame to everyone!"
Heavenly Dragon exuded an overbearing aura, rebuking the nominal leader, Mad Bull, in front of all the members of the Twelve Zodiacs without giving him any face.
The Twelve Zodiacs were like a bunch of monsters and demons, all sorts of shapes and sizes. Hearing this, everyone started whispering. After all, everyone had seen Mad Bull's actions, and he was indeed being overly cautious.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss. Brother Niu, I think Brother Dragon makes sense. You are so strong, yet you are overly cautious."
Snake Woman, who ranked sixth among the group, said. She was extremely beautiful, and her Peach Blossom Eyes were incredibly amorous.
When she spoke, she stuck out her tongue, the tip of which was clearly forked. She was wearing a long cheongsam, her figure was extremely hot, and she was tall, with a snake tail peeking out from the end of her cheongsam.
Among the Twelve Zodiacs, Mole and Ba Hu were already dead.
There were no replacements yet.
The remaining ones were theoretically the first-ranked Mad Bull, the second-ranked Heavenly Dragon, the third-ranked Little White Rabbit, and the fourth-ranked Snake Woman.
Although Little White Rabbit was not weak, her ranking was inflated; she relied on sycophancy to get there. Plus, due to species incompatibility, she was definitely no match for Snake Woman.
The rest of the group made their calculations and stood on Heavenly Dragon's side.
They scolded Mad Bull and Little White Rabbit.
Little White Rabbit was so angry that her eyes filled with tears. She looked aggrieved, her large chest heaving, which caught everyone's attention.
Mad Bull, however, acted as if he hadn't heard the accusations, still lying there comfortably.
After a long time.
Seeing that everyone had finished their rant.
"Since you think I'm not good enough, you can make a move yourselves. If you kill Ye Feng, I will take the last spot, and you can all move up."
Mad Bull finally spoke slowly.
His words were earth-shattering.
Everyone was stunned. The position in the Twelve Zodiacs represented not just honor, but also a massive amount of resources provided by the Church, which was very beneficial for improving strength and managing subordinates.
Mad Bull was currently ranked first, and the resources he received were theoretically limitless. Yet, with one sentence, he gave it all up to everyone else.
He slowly stood up, packed away the lounge chair and parasol, reached out, and pulled Little White Rabbit into his arms. The next moment, amidst a burst of yellow mist, he vanished from the spot.
Only one sentence remained in the air.
"Kill Ye Feng, and my status and resources will all be yours."
Everyone present remained silent, each making their own calculations.
"Since that coward Mad Bull doesn't dare to make a move, let's all do it together. Once we take down Ye Feng, we can split Mad Bull's resources equally."
"There is one more thing. A country cannot go a day without a ruler."
"The Twelve Zodiacs cannot be without a leader. I will shamelessly nominate myself. Who agrees and who disagrees?"
Seeing that his goal was achieved and Mad Bull had been isolated by everyone, Heavenly Dragon was full of pride. He hugged Snake Woman's slender waist and announced his idea.
The group had already sided with Heavenly Dragon, so hearing him say this, they naturally called him "Big Brother" one after another.
"Hahahaha, call me Big Brother, and I will seek more benefits for everyone in the future, making sure everyone lives better!"
Heavenly Dragon promised, his hands wandering all over Snake Woman. He looked very lecherous, causing Snake Woman to gasp uncontrollably.
In a place where no one could see.
His eyes were cold and ruthless. He had not forgotten Clown Emperor's instructions. He had arrived the latest, and if Clown Emperor hadn't spent so many resources to cultivate him, he wouldn't have improved so quickly. Of course, he knew who he was working for.
These people around him, except for Snake Woman, were all going to die, serving as stepping stones for Ye Feng.
As for Snake Woman, he would keep her for his own use!
In a small forest near the Scrap Yard, where various small animals lived and multiplied, a yellow mist suddenly appeared, and the surrounding trees and animals died one after another.
Mad Bull appeared silently with Little White Rabbit.
"Brother Niu, they went too far, actually humiliating you like that."
Little White Rabbit pouted her pretty lips, standing up for Mad Bull.
Mad Bull looked thoughtful.
"Don't be impatient. I was just testing Clown Emperor's attitude. It seems that the assassination of Ye Feng is not simple; the water is very deep, and we must find a way to avoid it."
A wise light shone in his eyes, as if he had seen through everything. He already knew part of the truth.
The two squatted together, secretly plotting.
