298: Individual rewards

“Ding! Yan Xi, the person of Luck, has completely lost his composure. Reward: 10,000 Heaven's Mandate Value, Advanced Recipe * 2, Advanced Cookware * 1, Advanced Tableware * 100, Lottery Chances * 10!”

Chen Xuan: “......”

“No, why are you giving me so much tableware?”

“Considering that the Host has a large family, 100 sets of tableware have been specially issued. The Host can exchange for more in the System Mall later.”

“Alright, so you mean I should thank you, right?”

“It’s only right. The Host is welcome.”

“......”

“Alright, Ningning, let’s go celebrate!”

“Mm, I’ll listen to Big Brother Chen Xuan!” The young girl in his arms was incredibly shy.

Subsequently, the two of them ignored Yan Xi, who was like a dead dog on the ground, and strode away.

Seeing the show conclude, everyone else also dispersed.

Zhu Zhu, with a dark face, returned to her small room alone, lost in thought.

“Tang Sirui, clean up the scene. This Yan Xi is truly short-sighted. How could I have chosen such a good-for-nothing!” Yu Gang’s face was gloomy, and he looked at Yan Xi on the ground with ill intent, then turned and left. He couldn't afford to lose face like this.

“Sigh, what were you thinking? It was fine before, nothing was wrong, but with what you did, you directly pushed Miss Zhai to the opposite side!” Tang Tang Sirui also had a headache looking at Yan Xi on the ground.

This idiot was simply a terrible teammate! They had clearly agreed to collectively pressure Chen Xuan, and then he, Tang Tang Sirui, would use the opportunity to cultivate a relationship with Zhai Ningning, so he could reap the benefits later.

Now, Yan Xi, in a fit of rage, messed things up and ended up severely injured.

......

Because Yan Xi and Chen Xuan had fallen out, even though Monster Academy won the championship, the celebration had to be separate. Otherwise, no one knew what might happen at the scene.

Indeed, Chen Xuan originally intended to use the celebration as an excuse to enjoy the beauty of the delicate and soft Young Miss of a noble family. However, Zhu Zhu and Rou Wu, using the excuse that Zhai Ningning was their good friend, also came along to celebrate.

Even Dragon YuYan, upon hearing that Chen Xuan had consumed a Medicinal Pill that was bad for his body, rushed over in a panic to check on him.

Monster Academy seemed to have subtly formed two factions.

“Xuan’er, you really shouldn’t just casually take Medicinal Pills that are harmful to your body!”

At the celebration banquet, Dragon YuYan’s small mouth was pouting high, making Chen Xuan’s heart flutter.

“Cough cough, wasn’t that… you know, I thought if you… you know, then I could… you know, right?”

Dragon YuYan’s face immediately turned crimson.

Although everyone present might become family in the future, they weren’t yet, so how could he be so… you know!

She wasn’t surprised at all about Chen Xuan’s newly acquired Zhai Ningning. After all, she had guessed this would happen from the beginning. Plus, Chen Xuan’s merciless “military training” last night had left her legs weak even now, so she wasn't jealous at all.

Especially Zhu Zhu, that girl, she didn't understand the complexities of it; she was just a silly girl.

“Xuan’er, you’re impossible! Your Master’s Wife is ignoring you!” Dragon YuYan turned her head away in a huff, while Chen Xuan helplessly drank his wine.

He had originally planned a party for just the two of them, but then three more people joined. What kind of situation was this!

The most crucial one was Zhai Ningning. She was a newcomer, and if she found out the truth, she might be the first to turn against him.

“Forget it, I’ll just see what these three recipes are first!”

With that, Chen Xuan pulled out the three recipe books that Yan Xi had “given” him from his System space: one Intermediate and two Advanced.

He first opened the Intermediate Recipe to examine it.

“Stewed Cordyceps with Hundred Flowers Honey? Contains a large amount of pure Spiritual Qi, and also has the effect of strengthening the body and increasing Spiritual Qi absorption by 50%? The effect is good, but I don’t really want to eat cordyceps.”

Chen Xuan directly passed on this one.

“Profound Ice Jade Liquid, a drink made primarily from Profound Ice Jade Marrow from extremely cold regions. It has the effect of dispelling most evil poisons and purifying the Physique, especially effective against poisons like Cow Milk and One Stick, and has a strong cleansing effect against enchantments and pink mist!”

“This is useless to me! If any Female Fellow Daoist encounters such trouble, I, Chen Xuan, would definitely be the first to help. How could I ever need this thing!”

“Jade Liquid.”

Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Why did these characters look more and more… colorful? Was it his problem? But he had just tasted the Jade Liquid his Master’s Wife gave him last night, hadn’t he?

“Made from over a hundred types of spiritual fruits, combined with spiritual spring water and various auxiliary Materials, it has the effects of nourishing the Primordial Spirit, repairing the Divine Soul, increasing a portion of cultivation, and solidifying one’s Foundation. It is a rare treasure!”

“Alright, it’s too proper, not what I was thinking!”

After reading the recipes, Chen Xuan immediately gave up on them.

To him, these were already somewhat of a white elephant.

Instead of expending great effort to gather these Materials, it would be faster to annoy the people of Luck more, or plunder those around them.

“Xuan’er, what are you throwing away? Qiong… Jade Liquid?!!” Dragon YuYan’s cheeks instantly flushed crimson.

Chen Xuan had mentioned it specifically last night, and she still remembered it.

“What Jade Liquid? Is it some kind of treasure?”

Rou Wu immediately became interested, took the book from Dragon YuYan’s hand, and began to read it.

“Good stuff! I didn’t expect Chen Xuan to have such Advanced Recipes. These can greatly improve us right now!”

“There are two more. Let me see… Profound Ice Jade Liquid? It actually has such an effect! We must make a batch!”

The things Chen Xuan wasn't interested in, the four women regarded as treasures. At least they believed these things were very useful to them.

......

Early the next morning, Chen Xuan woke Rou Wu beside him.

“Still sleeping in? The sun’s already hitting your butt!”

“It’s all your fault! There were so many people, but you insisted on sending them all back and wouldn’t let go of me. And this went on for two and a half days!” Rou Wu got angry just thinking about it, and directly extended her fair, delicate foot to kick Chen Xuan twice.

“Cough cough, isn’t it because my Little Wu is the most suitable? Just a special reward for you. Alright, alright, if we don’t go out soon, people from outside will come looking for me!”

“Hmph, who’s yours? This, this is just a transaction between us. I hope you can abide by our agreement!”

“Yes, yes, yes, I will definitely abide by it. Is that alright now!”

“How is that alright? It’s not!”

Chen Xuan: “?????”

She was the most difficult one to please, but seeing as she had also contributed a lot these past two days, he might as well indulge her.

“Alright, alright, Little Wu, whatever you say goes!”

“Don’t call me that! I’m thirty thousand years old; calling me your grand-aunt is still too young!”

“Understood! Understood, understood. So you like that kind of thing, huh? I’ll use a different address next time!”

“That’s not what I meant, don’t misunderstand!” Rou Wu quickly explained, but Chen Xuan had already turned and left.
