Chapter 78
Xiao Mei also looked up in confusion.
That didn’t seem to be the fireworks she had arranged.
What was that?
While everyone was still baffled…
Countless golden things came raining down…
“Oh my god! It’s shit!!”
“Aaaah! Aaaaaaaaah!”
Shit fell from the sky. The guests instantly descended into chaos, covering their heads as they scattered in every direction, searching for anywhere that could shield them from the storm.
The young ladies screamed nonstop. The clever ones dove under the tables at once, while the rest fled blindly like headless flies, eyes squeezed shut. Before long, several of them crashed into one another and toppled over in a heap.
Even after falling, they had no time to get up. All they could do was clutch their heads, rolling and crawling away.
It cascaded down three thousand feet; the whole sky was full of shit…
Duke Anguo had never witnessed such a spectacular scene in his life. He was utterly shaken.
He wanted to ask Xiao Mei what was going on, but the moment he opened his mouth, something flew right in. He hurriedly lowered his head and retched, unable to get a single word out!
Xiao Mei was badly frightened too. She screamed and tried to dodge, only to slip and fall to the ground.
Sitting there, her body trembled, her face deathly pale.
How could this happen…
How could such a disaster occur at the birthday banquet she had poured so much painstaking effort into preparing?!
At this moment, Xiao Chengxu did display the grace and composure of an Heir.
He drew his Daily-Use Extra-Long Instant-Absorb, swept it rapidly through the air, and the gust from his blade formed a barrier over his head.
Holding up that barrier, Xiao Chengxu walked over to Xiao Mei, helped her up, and asked, “What exactly is going on?”
Xiao Mei shook her head frantically. She didn’t know either!
…
Outside the high walls of the Duke’s Mansion, the commoners had heard there would be fireworks tonight and gathered to watch.
They didn’t see any fireworks. Instead, they heard an explosion from inside the high walls.
Then a whole mess of things sprayed out from somewhere and whirled through the air above the Duke’s Mansion.
The commoners: ????
“What the hell is that?”
“No idea. Why does it look kind of like manure?”
“Huh? No way, right?”
“I saw it clearly! It really is manure!”
“I heard today’s Duke Anguo’s birthday. Rich people really know how to have fun. They’re actually launching manure into the sky!”
Ye Piaoling happened to ride past on her electric scooter.
She only felt that the air around here had become less than fresh.
Then, hearing the commoners all discussing it, she couldn’t help stopping to ask a child, “Did something happen?”
The child said, “Duke Anguo is setting off manure to celebrate his birthday.”
Ye Piaoling: “???”
The child said, “Just now. He sent it all over the sky.”
Another child rushed to cut in, “Don’t listen to their nonsense. It was definitely Duke Anguo’s latrine that exploded!”
Ye Piaoling: “…”
An exploding latrine?
That sounded pretty novel. But what did it have to do with her?
As a pure passerby, Ye Piaoling shrugged and drove off.
When she returned to Falling Petals Courtyard and was making her bed, she discovered that her hand grenade was gone!
She had always kept this lethal weapon hidden by the head of her bed, but now, even after searching everywhere, she couldn’t find it.
“That’s weird. Where’s my hand grenade?” Ye Piaoling muttered. “Did someone come in and steal it?”
But who would steal a hand grenade for no reason?
Besides, the people of this world had never even seen a hand grenade!
With several question marks floating over her head, she fell asleep. Then Koi came to her in a dream again.
The dream’s background music was still that same Pleasant Goat song.
Ye Piaoling hurriedly asked it, “Huohuo, do you know where my hand grenade went?”
Koi said, “I don’t know what a hand grenade is. I only know a thief entered your bedroom today.”
“What?!!”
“That thief passed right in front of me, walked straight into your room, rummaged around for a while, then came back out.”
“Then why didn’t you stop him?”
Ye Piaoling roared, “Don’t you have magical powers? A thief came in, and you didn’t even do anything about it?”
Koi said, “Just because I’m only a goat doesn’t mean I’m a dog. Why should I deal with thieves?”
Ye Piaoling snapped, “Right, even if you’re only a goat, you should still know how to guard the house!”
“No. You’re the master here. Guarding the house is your responsibility!”
The Virgo Koi wore an expression of fastidious disgust and said disdainfully, “I came into your dream to remind you that from now on, when you go out, lock your doors and windows properly. Stop letting all sorts of random people come in. I don’t like strangers entering my room.”
Ye Piaoling: “…”
So who on earth had stolen her hand grenade???
