1241 Red Envelope Snatching Session Begins (1/2)
”Bro Ning! How are things over there?”
Chen Xiaobei had called Ning Yuchen.
The ability to travel back and forth between Northern Wilderness Starfield and earth was Chen Xiaobei's biggest secret.
If Ning Yuchen and the others returned to the base camp to find Chen Xiaobei missing, his secret would then be exposed.
”Everything is fine here!” Ning Yuchen said. ”Which is strange. Zachara Grand Canyon seemed strangely peaceful recently! There was practically no Demonic Beast activity at all! The officers had gone in to investigate a couple of times, and every time they did, they were not able to find the slightest trace of a Beast Horde! It's was as if all the Demonic Beasts have disappeared!”
Chen Xiaobei smiled quietly on the other end. It seemed that White Fox and the other Wicked Beasts had already vacated the canyon.
At least before the Demonic Beasts sent their next King, there would not be any major wars between man and beasts.
”The Demonic Beasts' disappearance is a good thing! Then you can all come back early, right?” Chen Xiaobei asked.
Chen Xiaobei was trying to get confirm the time and day that Ning Yuchen and the others would return so that he could first return without raising suspicion.
”Oh, you think too much! We won't be back for a while! The officers suspect that the Demonic Beasts are up to some kind of ruse! Supplies have already been brought in from the Capital City to prepare for a long-termed station here in Zachara!”
”Oh, is that so…” It looked like Chen Xiaobei would now have to stay on earth for quite some time.
He would help Luo Puti first and if there was a need over at Xiangyu's, then Chen Xiaobei would be also be able to go over and lend a hand.
”Why? You miss us?” Ning Yuchen chuckled. ”If you're bored, you can go have fun with Sister Hua or visit the forest near the capital city. But don't go too far, the further away you are from the capital city, the more dangerous Demonic Beasts you'll meet!”
Ning Yuchen clearly cared very much for Chen Xiaobei.
”Alright! I know what to do!” Chen Xiaobei smiled to himself. ”Bro Ning, happy Duanwu festival!”
”Duanwu?” Ning Yuchen began to ask when he caught himself halfway. ”Oh! Right! It's Duanwu festival back on earth! If you hadn't mentioned anything, I would've forgotten about it already! I wish you a happy Duanwu festival as well!”
After they said their goodbyes, Chen Xiaobei hung up and walked back to the banquet hall.
Everyone was already seated, waiting for Chen Xiaobei.
Every person in the room were people closest to him. With all the bountiful, mouth watering dishes laid out before them, and with laughter filling the room, the atmosphere was almost magical.
