Chapter 252 Heartwarming Daily Life (Part 3)
After these words were spoken, the air fell silent once more.
The Nine Spirits Netherfire, known and deeply feared by everyone in the cultivation world, is used to make hot pot?
Is this something a human being could do?
Tang Wanwan's eyes widened as she was about to speak, but she quickly muted herself.
OK.
These people all claim to love Karin the most, so she'll see just how far they're willing to go for Karin.
The people had different expressions, but each of them was preoccupied with their own thoughts and did not speak rashly.
Only Tuowu!
Tuowu was horrified!
He immediately snapped out of his heartbreak and was about to rush over to cover Huali's mouth.
Cuihua, are you out of your mind?!
That's the Nine Spirits Netherfire! A destructive fire that strikes fear into the hearts of the entire cultivation world, and she actually dares to covet it?
As Tuowu ran, he glared angrily at the people around him.
These people always pretend to be nice to Huali, but they don't dare to do anything that's really life-threatening?
That's so heartless!
However, just one minute before he rushed forward—
Wen Jin's long, slender, pale hand was gently raised from his sleeve, and a cluster of flames was floating above his palm.
The Demon Lord spoke, "Is this acceptable?"
Huali leaned closer, and the clean, warm scent of pear blossoms unexpectedly invaded the cold, thick aura surrounding Wenjin.
"Sure, but could you make a little more? Ideally, it would be in a circle, so it cooks more evenly."
The Demon Lord lowered his gaze to the girl's trembling eyelashes, a smile flashing in his pale golden eyes, which seemed to illuminate even the small red mole under his eye.
"Can..."
"Ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh!"
By the time Taku realized the situation, but his legs were already too weak to stop, his mental navigation system had finished working—
With lightning speed, his burly body crashed through the narrow gap of less than a foot between Hua Li and Wen Jin!
Karin quickly retreated: "!"
Wen Jin: "......"
After finally managing to brake, Takuya's back stiffened, as if he had been petrified...
Only then did Tuowu realize why these people weren't going. He stiffly turned his neck, trembling as he tried to explain, "My lord, I..."
Wen Jin closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "...Get out."
Tuowu rolled back dejectedly, then turned and glared at Xiwu. "You knew the master wouldn't blame Huali, right? Then why didn't you tell me beforehand?"
Xi Wu, with dead fish eyes: "It's hard to persuade a suicidal ghost with kind words."
Manager Ao praised: "The Nine Spirits Netherfire has turned into an induction cooker, awesome!"
Once the cooking time was determined, the biggest problem in this series was solved.
Huali thought for a moment, "Hmm... all that's left is the base ingredients."
Tang Wanwan waved her hand dismissively, "Leave this to me. I hired the chefs on my very first day here; they can do everything."
"That's the seasonings and the vegetables to be cooked. This is quite a lot of work. How many chefs did you hire?" Huali asked casually.
Tang Wanwan: "Don't worry, five, one mid-grade spirit stone a day."
Hua Li's body trembled. "What? A thousand?"
She immediately thought of something and rushed towards Tuowu, "Tuowu, do you have Zhang Dezhu's contact information? This is a huge profit, don't say I didn't think of him when I had something good to do!"
Tuowu was clearly still reeling from the "get lost" remark, his mournful little eyes gazing at Huali with a wistful look: "...Eek."
Huali sighed and stood on tiptoe to try and pat his head, but she was still not even as tall as his shoulder.
Just as I was about to give up, the big guy in front of me obediently bent down and groaned.
Huali tiptoed and ruffled Tuowu's fur a few times, then turned to look at Xiwu, "Xiwu, what about you?"
Xiwu nodded. "Yes. Give me some time."
Huali quickly shook her head upon hearing this, "No, no, no, this isn't a mission. Xiwu, we absolutely won't work any overtime. We'll do as much as we're paid for."
A smile flickered in Xiwu's eyes. "Alright."
With the tone definitely set, King Pear waved his hand smugly, "Then let's all go home and meet up at mealtime."

At the end of a busy day, Huali and Aobai lay on the bed dividing the spoils.
Huali has put away all the Little Bird brand pearls. What she plans to sell on Xianbo is another batch that Guanlan gave her before leaving Cangming Sea.
Ao Bai urged her, "Don't lie there yet, quickly open Xianbo and see if your followers have increased?"
Huali nodded, and was startled by the message from 999+ as soon as she opened it.
Ao Bai was shocked: "My goodness! We've been cyberbullied?"
"ah?"
Huali clicked on the link with trembling hands and discovered that they were all new followers who had just started following her.
"Is this Yunshang Yinyu really that influential?"
Hua Juxing excitedly opened his fan messages, only to find that half of them were asking about the Buddha, Demon Lord, Demon King, and the Young General of Canglan Prefecture. Even the little bird was being asked who it was.
"Wow. You guys really are top-tier."
Pear King chuckled, "It's true what they say, it's good to have a powerful backer." She turned to him and earnestly advised, "Bai, if you want to get rich, you have to work hard to cultivate good relationships."
Ao Bai, lounging like Ge You, wagged his tail and said, "No problem, just keep it up."
Given how the relationship is now, he really doesn't dare to think about how to improve it.
Waaah, it's just a cute yellow kitten, it doesn't understand anything.

Linfeng County, inn.
Zhan Li was looking at the Xianbo interface with a conflicted expression.
Not long ago, Huali posted a teaser for pearls, and in the short time it takes to drink a cup of tea, there were already thousands of comments.
I kept refreshing the scrolls, but the more I refreshed, the more frustrated I became.
His hand involuntarily tapped the Pear Blossom private message chat box, asking, "Want to say hello?"
But... what should I say?
Asking her where she went after leaving the vast ocean—isn't that meddling in other people's business?
Or you could say you saw her today—but it doesn't seem like anything special.
Ask her if this is your Xianbo account? —Isn't that obvious?
Just as Zhan Li's thoughts were in complete disarray, Wu Yu suddenly appeared. "What's wrong? Why do you look so bitter and resentful?"
Zhan Li felt as if he had seen a savior and asked seriously, "Ayu, let me ask you, what is your opening line when you want to chat with someone?"
"That's it? I thought it was something more serious." Wu Yu toyed with the small silver snake in her hand. "He just asked 'Are you there?'"
Zhan Li: "Will this work?"
Wu Yu: "Whether it works or not, we'll find out by trying."
Zhan Li thought for a moment, then reopened the private message chat box, and after a long pause, finally typed a sentence.
"Huali, are you there?"

Huali is very busy.
As dusk settled in the courtyard, a huge wooden table stood in the center, constantly being filled with a dazzling array of dishes and snacks.
Zhao Heng was helping the cook serve the dishes, while Xiao Ta, Ao Bai, and the Chaos Beast were lying by the table, staring longingly at the roast chicken.
The evening breeze swept through the courtyard, carrying the scent of distant grass and trees.
Tang Wanwan took out a translucent jade gourd from her Qiankun bag. The gourd was warm and lustrous, with amber liquid faintly visible inside.
“This is my father’s treasured ‘Meeting Under the Moon’ wine, a hundred-flower wine buried for thirty years. Let’s have a taste later.”
Busy as ever, Huali's eyes lit up. She nodded and immediately buried herself in her chair, scrolling through Xianbo.
Tang Wanwan leaned over and asked, "So many private messages? You haven't finished reading them yet?"
"We're almost there," Huali said happily. "Everyone's been asking me about the spirit herbs and pearls. Wanwan, we've really struck it rich this time."
"Buzz—"
No sooner had she finished speaking than a new message popped up on the Xianbo in Huali's hand.
"Zhan Li?" Hua Li asked, puzzled after recognizing the name. "What does he want with me?"
Tang Wanwan: "Let's see."
However, the moment Huali clicked on it, her finger, which was swiping the screen, suddenly stopped.
Tang Wanwan softly murmured, "...Huali, are you there?"
Huali's body trembled, as if facing a formidable enemy.
The next second, to Tang Wanwan's astonishment, her fingers, gripping the communication stone, moved so fast they were barely a blur, and with a resolute determination honed through countless trials, she pressed down hard next to Zhan Li's name.
[Confirmed Blacklist]
【confirm! 】
Huali turned to face the stunned Tang Wanwan and said earnestly, "Wanwan, remember this."
"When someone you've had almost no contact with for a very long time suddenly contacts you—"
"I even asked you, 'Are you there?'"
Karin's expression turned extremely serious, and she said with certainty, "Then this person..."
"I'm about to start asking you for money."
