The crazy male protagonist is actually my good disciple from another world

"Warning! Host, please complete the third strategy mission as soon as possible: raise the male protagonist's favorability towards you to a positive number! The time limit is three days. If you exceed the time limit, the mission will be considered a failure and three days of life will be deducted!"

As soon as Thirty-Five finished speaking, the unlucky warning sound came out.

Without Yan Muhuai asking, Thirty-Five took the initiative to report: "Master Host, Rong Jin's current favorability towards you is minus 49. He looks like he wants to stick to you, but his favorability has not increased at all. What does he mean?"

Yan Muhuai replied, "Most likely you've figured out that I've changed my mind, so you're just putting on an act here!"

"No wonder. I was wondering why he looked like he was possessed by another spirit. It turns out that the former host was not someone he took seriously. Now that it's your turn, he's going to take action himself?" Thirty-five felt a little sympathetic towards its former host. This might be the difference between a loser and a big boss!

Fortunately, its useless previous host died, and now it follows a big boss host!

While Sanshiwu was talking to Yan Muhuai in his mind, Bai Shao asked everyone to start eating.

Although there were things to discuss, it was already quite late. They were all waiting for Yan Muhuai to finish work with empty stomachs. No matter how urgent the matter was, they had to eat something first. Besides, serious matters were usually discussed at the dinner table.

Rong Jin picked up the serving chopsticks and first picked up a piece of fried eggs with locust flowers for Yan Muhuai.

This is Huaicheng, where edible locust trees are everywhere. Every year, the locust flowers are picked and carefully stored to ensure that you can eat locust flower-related delicacies in Huaicheng all year round.

Yan Muhuai grew up in Huaicheng. His favorite food is the various locust flower delicacies made by his mother, and this locust flower scrambled eggs is no exception.

So he did not refuse. After politely thanking Rong Jin, he lowered his head and took a bite.

The moment the fried eggs with locust flowers entered my mouth, the system prompt sounded again.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the strategy mission: Raise the male protagonist's favorability towards you to a positive number, gain 59 points of favorability from the male protagonist, and be rewarded with 5,900 merit points!"

Yan Muhuai paused while eating, and Thirty-Five spoke hesitantly, "Host, it took less than a minute from the time the mission was issued to the time it was completed. Was this also acted out by Rong Jin?"

"No, he might really be sick." Yan Muhuai couldn't help but glance sideways at Rong Jin.

Just now he just didn't refuse Rong Jin's offer to pick up some food for him, so why did this increase his favorability so much and even turn the negative favorability into a positive one?

"What's wrong? Is it not delicious?" Rong Jin noticed Yan Muhuai's gaze and asked immediately.

He looked so concerned, as if the plate of scrambled eggs with locust flowers on the table was cooked by him himself.

Yan Muhuai tried to hold back, but couldn't help asking, "Is this fried by Mr. Rong?"

Ming Fei, who was sitting opposite him, made a strange noise when she heard what he said. She quickly put down her chopsticks and covered her mouth, afraid that she would laugh out loud again.

But her boss calmly replied to Yan Muhuai, "No, I'll try next time."

Hearing his gentle voice, Yan Muhuai accidentally met his eyes again and clearly saw the undisguised aggression in his eyes.

Yan Muhuai was the first to give in. After retracting his gaze, he didn't say anything more and just quietly buried his head in eating.

After the meal, Rong Jin didn't eat much himself, and was busy feeding Yan Muhuai.

Yan Muhuai also ate with peace of mind and did not feel uncomfortable.

Thirty-five was so shocked that he was speechless, as if he had died in Yan Muhuai's mind.

Seeing that everyone had put down their chopsticks, Bai Shao spoke cautiously: "Mr. Yan, I would like to ask, what happened during the day? How did you know that Manager Cai wanted to steal things from the flower field?"

Yan Muhuai asked back: "Is that the antique peony glass cup buried in your flower field?"

Bai Shao's eyes widened instantly, "How do you know... Have you dug it out and looked at it?"

"No!" Chen Xiao quickly helped Yan Muhuai clarify, "Boss Bai, don't misunderstand, Mr. Yan has never dug that place, he even helped you fill the hole. I was there at the time, I can testify to that."

Unexpectedly, after hearing what Chen Xiao said, Bai Shao's expression not only did not relax, but became even more nervous.

"Then how did Mr. Yan know that the thing buried in the flower field was a peony glass cup? This is a family heirloom of our Bai family, and outsiders cannot know about it." Bai Shao said with certainty.

"You don't need to worry about how I know this. All you need to do next is answer my questions." Yan Muhuai's tone left no room for doubt.

While he was talking to Bai Shao, Rong Jin beside him kept staring at him.

When Ming Fei saw her boss become like this, she had the urge to poke her own eyes out.

Even if she knew that the current Yan Muhuai was not the disgusting thing before, wouldn't he still use the same shell? Didn't her boss feel disgusted at all?

"Okay, Mr. Yan, please ask." Bai Shao sat upright, not daring to be negligent at all.

Yan Muhuai said bluntly: "Before you buried the Peony Glazed Lamp, was your family having a hard time? Your elders are always sick every other day, and many of your ancestors didn't even live past forty?"

Bai Shao answered numbly, "Yes."

Yan Muhuai even knew about the antiques in her family that were never passed on to others, so it’s not surprising that he knew some things about her family, right?

Yes, there was nothing strange about it. She wanted to hear what else Yan Muhuai knew!

"After you buried the Peony Glass Lamp, the business of the B&B has been getting better and better, and the tight financial situation at home has also been greatly improved?" Yan Muhuai asked, but his tone was affirmative.

Bai Shao said, "That's right. My situation is exactly the same as what Mr. Yan guessed. After I buried the peony glass cup in the flower field, the peony flowers always bloomed and the B&B was visited by tourists in an endless stream. Others thought that I was good at business, but in fact it was all thanks to the antiques passed down from my ancestors. Otherwise, in a small place like Huaicheng, why are other B&Bs not doing well, but only mine is doing well all year round?"

She looked at Yan Muhuai, "Mr. Yan, you exposed our family's secret in front of Mayor Chen today. Do you want me to hand over the Peony Glazed Lamp?"

Chen Xiao, who was called out, looked at Yan Muhuai in confusion. He didn't know if this was what the other party meant, and they hadn't discussed this in advance.

Yan Muhuai shook his head. "I'm not forcing you to hand it over, but your family can no longer bear the spiritual power of the Peony Glaze Lamp. You think it is bringing you good luck, but you don't know that everything you enjoy now was accumulated by your ancestors with their lives."

"What do you mean?" Bai Shao's voice was very soft and a little trembling.

Even though she didn't fully understand what Yan Muhuai said, it didn't stop her from feeling scared.

"To put it bluntly, the Peony Glazed Lamp absorbed the vitality of your ancestors and transformed it into spiritual energy, allowing you to enjoy peace and wealth for these years. But it itself is an ancient artifact that needs spiritual energy. You buried it in the ground, and it will absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on its own. However, the spiritual energy in this world is scarce, and it cannot obtain the spiritual energy it needs from nature, so it can only take it from others. This is why other people's homestays cannot be opened in Huaicheng, only yours can."

After Yan Muhuai finished speaking, Bai Shao immediately questioned him: "Do you want me to hand over the heirloom just because of your empty words? Do you have any evidence to prove that what you said is true?"
