Chapter 271 Dear Host, Be Generous (Revised)

Huo Rui and Mei Ji have settled down at Xianlong Peak!

The once sparsely populated Xianlong Peak has gained two new members, and Huo Rui also has a title—the general manager of Xianlong Peak.

It is a formal staff position.

The union of a human and a merman was truly an eye-opener for the group of single senior students. Especially their constant pairing and affectionate displays of affection, which the senior students found quite disdainful.

"Being obsessed with women."

"Not doing their proper job."

"Lacking the courage to uphold one's principles."

"Junior brother, you must not follow his example!"

The senior students raised the banner of severing all emotional ties and resolutely drew a line between themselves and reactionary elements who were in romantic relationships.

Surrounded by others, Shang Yanting said, "...Senior brothers should focus on cultivating diligently and improving their strength."

After saying that, he left the encirclement of his fellow disciples, seemingly not having listened to a word they said.

"Sigh. Junior brother has grown up and has his own ideas now."

The second senior brother looked at Shang Yanting's departing figure and immediately felt melancholy.

"...Do you think it's possible that our words lack persuasiveness because we're too weak and incompetent?"

Old Eleven raised an important point.

After all, Yan Qing is now a Martial King, while they are only at the Martial Spirit realm. This advancement is also aided by Yan Qing.

"Thinking about it, I actually feel like I've failed a little?"

"Is it really just a minor setback?"

Two sentences made the twenty senior brothers fall into deep thought.

On the other side

Inside the side room

Merfolk cannot live without water, so Huo Rui had a large pool built specifically for his room. Mei Ji was recuperating inside when Jia Xitong came to find her after waking up.

Among Jia Xitong's previous friends, whether it was the twenty senior brothers, Uncle Karl, or even the giant rhinoceros, Fa Cai, Little Grey, and Iron Egg Flower in the yard, they were all male!

Finally, a girl! How could this not be novel?

Jia Xitong squatted down beside her, watching as she continuously changed the way she wove a small vest covered with pearls.

"This is for you."

Mei Ji, with her slender fingers, held the small vest and swam to Jia Xitong, saying softly, "This was originally made for Xi Tong. I didn't know you were such a beautiful girl."

"Thanks."

Jia Xitong pretended to accept it with feigned modesty, unaware that she couldn't help but grin from ear to ear.

She wanted to be as elegant and refined as Meiji, but Meiji praised herself for being beautiful.

"I'm glad you like it. I'll knit you a little vest later."

She said softly, her lips slightly pursed, both happy and a little embarrassed, "I've only ever made clothes for my master before, so I might not be able to do them very well."

"No, this vest is the perfect size for my raccoon-like shape."

Jia Xitong carefully put the items away, then rubbed his talisman up and down.

She took out a small bottle and handed it to Meiji, "This is a bottle of ice dew that a good friend gave me before. It's icy sweet and delicious."

"Thanks."

Meiji was flattered and accepted the gift, then opened it and took a sip. "It's really delicious. Back in the Gu Liang Clan, everyone treated me like a magical pet."

This is the first time I've ever received a gift from someone other than my owner!

"Hey, what's the big deal?"

Jia Xitong squatted down next to her and said, "I have twenty senior brothers. Although they are very poor, they are warm-hearted, kind, and very generous."

"Once you've recovered, I'll take you to see them."

After she finished speaking, she heard footsteps outside the door.

Even without seeing the person, Jia Xitong immediately recognized their identity from the frequency and sound.

It's Shang Yanting!

She opened the door, grabbed Shang Yanting's arm, and dragged him in from outside. "Look, my host is so generous!"

Shang Yanting, who had just entered, was speechless.

Huo Rui, who was about to go out to greet him, paused upon hearing this, "Your Excellency..."

Meiji clenched the small porcelain bottle in her hand, looking at Huo Rui with fear and worry.

Shang Yanting is not a good person.

They... are afraid of him.

Seeing that Shang Yanting didn't move, Jia Xitong grabbed his arm and made him lean towards her. Then, she stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear, "Dear host, Meiji is a new friend of mine."

Shang Yanting turned to look at her.

"Be generous and show your appreciation!"

Shang Yanting: ...

He fumbled around in his Susanoo for a long time before finally taking out two high-grade spirit stones and a porcelain bottle (about the size of a thumb) that was only one-third the size of the one Jia Xitong had just given to Binglu.

Although he gave it.

But his expression was cold, and his gaze was fixed on the porcelain vase, as if it were not a gift, but rather that he had been robbed.

Meiji stood trembling in the water, unsure whether to retract her weapon or not.

"This was given to you by the host, so you can keep it, Meiji."

Jia Xitong said from the side, "Welcome to our Xianlong Peak family, along with Young Master Huo Rui."

Let's all work hard and diligently to build Xianlong Peak!

After saying that, he clapped for himself.

Mei Ji glanced at Huo Rui, and seeing him nod slightly, she carefully accepted the spirit stones and spirit marrow, saying, "Thank you."

"...No need to be so polite."

Shang Yanting turned his gaze away from the things he had given away, then reached out and pinched Jia Xitong's chattering mouth, "Stay a little longer, then come back with me later."

"ah?"

Jia Xitong was taken aback when she heard this, "But I've only been out for a short while."

"When you become a raccoon, you'll have plenty of time."

Shang Yanting glanced at her, then asked Huo Rui to go out with him.
