Chapter 1492: Duties of the Host
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ever since Duanmu Ying found out that Xue Fanxin was the Nine Nether Consort, she had secretly asked around about the Duanmu family’s current situation. It would have been fine if she had not asked, but once she did, she found out. The Duanmu family was in a mess now. They had suffered blows in all aspects, and there were internal and external troubles, so she did not dare to return to the family at all.
The descendants of the four great families would often be sacrificed at a critical moment that involved the family’s interests.
If she returned to the family now, she might really be sacrificed. The most likely outcome would be a marriage alliance. Furthermore, the target of the marriage alliance would often not be good.
Therefore, unless she had no choice, she would not return to the family during this period of time. However, the Five Elements Academy was in the midst of a major reorganization at this moment. Staying in the academy might not be a good thing. Hence, like the other disciples, she found an excuse to come out and train.
However, she had been staying in the Five Elements Academy all these years. She ate and drank with the Five Elements Pearls and had never come into contact with any crystals. Now that she was training outside and needed crystals everywhere, she was really poor!
In the past, Xuanyuan Yunxing might have helped Duanmu Ying resolve her urgent matter simply because they were fellow disciples. However, after experiencing so much, he already had an indescribable hatred for Duanmu Ying. Forget about paying for her room, he was not even willing to give her a good attitude. If not for Duanmu Ying shamelessly pestering him, how could he have let this woman stay by his side?
“Junior Sister Duanmu, I don’t have many crystals on me anymore. I’m afraid I won’t be able to help you pay for the room.”
The brothers of Xuanyuan Yunxing knew that Xuanyuan Yunxing hated Duanmu Ying, so they naturally would not speak for her. All of them turned their backs to Duanmu Ying, clearly unwilling to pay.
Duanmu Ying still wanted to gain sympathy and help with her pitiful appearance, but she realized that no one was looking at her. This made her depressed and angry.
Ever since Xue Fanxin appeared, the people who had once surrounded her had all disappeared. In the past, Senior Brother Xuanyuan had been indifferent to her, but he had at least taken care of her. But now, Senior Brother Xuanyuan ignored her completely and even showed his hatred for her on his face.
Although Senior Brother Xuanyuan’s family background was not very good, he was a very outstanding person. If there was no better choice, then she would choose Senior Brother Xuanyuan.
But now…
“Hey, hey, hey, have you discussed it? Quickly pay for the room. If you don’t pay now, I’ll send you all flying.” Little Lei was not the kind of person who would slap people without question. As long as the other party was reasonable, he would still give them some time. However, the group of people in front of him had been discussing for too long, so he could only urge them.
“Little brother, this is our room money. As for hers, you can take it from her. It has nothing to do with us.” Xuanyuan Yunxing paid for his brothers’ room money, but he did not pay for Duanmu Ying.
Duanmu Ying was really about to die of anger. She knew that Xuanyuan Yunxing hated her very much now, but she had not expected him to hate her to this extent. Helpless, she could only look for her interspatial ring and gather the money to hand it to Little Lei unwillingly.
“Your room money is only enough to stay for two days. If you don’t have money in two days, get lost.” Little Lei did not like Duanmu Ying at first sight, so his attitude towards her was extremely bad.
“I can only stay for two days with so many crystals?” Duanmu Ying was shocked and gritted her teeth.
“If not for the fact that this place hasn’t had time to be renovated, the house price would have increased by more than ten time. Taking this little money from you is already considered cheap. If you don’t want to live here, you can get lost now. I don’t care about your little crystals.”
“I what? If there’s nothing else, don’t block the way. I still have to go elsewhere to collect money!”
Duanmu Ying really wanted to curse Little Lei, but she did not dare. When she thought of how powerful Xue Fanxin was, she did not dare to be impudent, afraid that she would cause trouble and be driven out of the Desolate Region.
She only wanted to follow Senior Brother Xuanyuan well and win his favor again. She did not think too much about anything else.
How could Xuanyuan Yunxing not know what Duanmu Ying was thinking?
Because he knew, he did not give her a good attitude and rejected her clearly. Unfortunately, some people were too thick-skinned.
Just as Little Lei was about to walk out of the door, he bumped into Xue Fanxin, who had just arrived. He immediately ran up to greet her. “Woman, woman, why are you here? Let me tell you, I collected a lot of room money today. A pile of crystals. It’s all in my interspatial ring. I’ll give them all to you later.” “Little Lei is really powerful,” Xue Fanxin praised.
“Since I’m so powerful, shouldn’t you reward me properly? Why don’t you reward me with a feast?”
“You little foodie, why do you always want to eat?”
“Who asked you to make such delicious food? I haven’t eaten your roasted meat in a long time. Also, you still owe me ten feasts. Don’t forget.”
Another ten feasts. Xue Fanxin was very speechless. “Don’t worry, I’ll remember your ten feasts! When the Gu family brings the money tomorrow, I’ll make you a feast.”
“Really?”
“Really.”
“That’s great, that’s great. There’s finally a feast to eat. Heilong, did you hear that? We’re preparing another feast to eat.” Little Lei was too excited and went to Heilong to cheer.
“Yes, yes, yes. I heard you.” Heilong actually wanted to eat Xue Fanxin’s delicious food, but his control was a little better, not as exaggerated as Little Lei’s.
Seeing that Xue Fanxin and Little Lei were chatting so happily, no one in the room could disturb them.
Duanmu Ying had long seen Xue Fanxin. The envy in her heart was written all over her face, and her expression became a little ferocious. Why were all the good things occupied by Xue Fanxin alone?
Why?
Xue Fanxin could sense Duanmu Ying’s jealousy and hatred. She gently raised her head to look and only smiled coldly. She did not say a word. Then, she turned her zaze to Xuanvuan Yunxinz and the others and changed into a friendly smile. “Senior Brother Xuanyuan, and all the senior brothers, welcome to the Desolate Region. I didn’t know it was you previously, so Little Lei is a little abrupt. During this period of time, you can live in the Desolate Region for free. Little Lei, return the money to my senior brothers.”
“Alright.” Little Lei obediently took out the crystals he had collected and returned them all to Xuanyuan Yunxing.
“In that case, I won’t stand on ceremony. This is Junior Sister Fanxin’s territory. You indeed should carry out your duties as the host.” Xuanyuan
Yunxing did not stand on ceremony with Xue Fanxin and accepted the crystals.
He hoped that his relationship with Xue Fanxin would be better, the kind of friend that was even higher than ordinary friends.
“Of course. Heilong, give the orders to get a few rooms to be vacated at the inn and arrange for my senior brothers to stay.”
“Yes.” Heilong listened to Xue Fanxin’s orders and immediately went to do his work.
“Junior Sister Fanxin, we can stay here. There’s no need to stay in an inn,” Xuanyuan Yunxing rejected in embarrassment.
He knew very well how expensive an inn was. It was not something they could afford at all. Although he did not know why housing in the Desolate Region was so expensive, this was someone else’s business, so he was too embarrassed to ask.
“Senior Brothers, this is your first time here. As the granddaughter of the King of the Desolate Region, I can be considered half the master of the Desolate Region. It’s only right for me to do my best as a host. You don’t have to be polite. Don’t worry and stay. If nothing unexpected happens, there will be an unexpected surprise in the next few days.”
“What surprise?”
“I’m not too sure now, so I can’t give you an affirmative answer, so Senior Brothers, just wait patiently. However, it’s best if you don’t leave the city these few days. You must stay in the city, or your lives might be in danger.”
If she did not feel wrong, there should be another spiritual energy storm in the Desolate Region in the next few days.
The spiritual energy storm was accompanied by spiritual energy. After being transformed by the array formations above the Desolate City, it would become extremely rich spiritual energy. At that time, the entire Desolate City would be a cultivation paradise.
However, it was very dangerous outside the Desolate City. It could even be said to be a place of death.
At the moment, she had no way of confirming if there would be a spiritual energy storm in the next few days, so she could not be too certain.
“Since Junior Sister has instructed us, we’ll definitely stay in the city. This Desolate City is very magnificent, even more imposing than the main city of the Central Continent. It’s worth taking a look.” Xuanyuan Yunxing did not ask further about the Desolate Region. Since Xue Fanxin had instructed him, he would naturally listen.
Anyway, he had no intention of going anywhere these few days. He could just stay in the city.
Seeing that Xuanyuan Yunxing and Xue Fanxin were chatting so well, be it their tone or attitude, they were extremely friendly. There was a happy smile on their facse, and Duanmu Ying felt even more uncomfortable. In the end, she really could not help but interrupt. Even if she had to force herself to speak nicely, she had to say something. “Junior Sister Fanxin, is there anything different inside and outside the Desolate City?”
“Under normal circumstances, it’s the same,” Xue Fanxin said casually. “What about under extraordinary circumstances!”
“If you want to know, then stay in the Desolate Region for a while. You’ll naturally know the answer then.”
“You…”
“Senior Brother Xuanyuan, Senior Brothers, I still have something to do, so I’ll leave first. In a while, I’ll get someone to take you to the inn. Don’t worry and stay in Desolate City for as long as you want.” Xue Fanxin chatted with Xuanyuan Yunxing and the others for a while more before leaving.
The moment Xue Fanxin left, someone immediately came to entertain
Xuanyuan Yunxing and the others. “You must be our Miss’s senior brothers. The Miss ordered me to entertain you. Please follow me.”
“Then I’ll have to trouble you, Brother.” Xuanyuan Yunxing left with his brothers and the attendant.
Duanmu Ying thought for a moment and followed. However, when she wanted to enter the inn, she was stopped by the guards outside the door. “Miss, please show your residence permit. Without it, you can’t enter and leave the inn at will. Now is a special time, so the inn has no choice but to take an extraordinary approach.”
“Are you blind? Can’t you see that I came with the people in front of me?”
“I’m sorry, the higher-ups didn’t instruct you to be with them.”
“How is that possible? I’m with them. Senior Brother Xuanyuan…”
No matter how Duanmu Ying shouted, no one cared. Even Xuanyuan Yunxing did not care..
