Chapter 108: 108
As soon as Xu Muan heard Xiao Jingting coming back, he immediately came out with a big stomach to meet him. “You have come back!” he said.
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Yes!”
“What did your father say?” asked Xu Muan.
“Father said that there would be a competition hosted by the Hou Family in s few days.”
“The Hou Family? It’s too dangerous. Many people die every time in a competition hosted by the Hou Family,” said Xu Muan anxiously.
Xiao Jingting nodded in agreement, “I know it’s dangerous, but don’t worry. I will find a place to hide and not participate in the trials.”
Xu Muan and Mu Shuyu were also level-5 Qi practitioners, but they were Gers, and not the formal members of the Xiao Family, so they were not in the list.
Xu Muan took a deep breath and said, “That’s a good idea, but I’m afraid there will be still some danger…”
Xiao Jingting sighed helplessly and said, “There must be some danger, but my name is already on the list and I can’t escape from it. From now on, I can only take one step and look around before taking another.”
Xu Muan nodded, and said depressingly, “Yes, the Hou Family is very tyrannical. Anyone who escapes from the game will be chased and killed by them.”
“You know very well!” Xiao Jingting was surprised. The original body owner looked like a fool, who had no idea of the competition.
Xu Muan smiled and said, “The servants of the family always gossiped when they were free. We talked about many things.”
Xiao Jingting was interested, “You gossiped something so important.”
Xu Muan nodded and said, “Yes! The Hou Family was a hot topic.”
“What else were you talking about?” asked Xiao Jingting curiously.
“A well-informed maid said, a childe of the Hou Family went to the brothel for whoring. He farted in the bed and was laughed at by a harlot. The childe of Hou Family became furious out of embarrassment and then he married the harlot and took her home. He made her as a pet day and night, and as a result, the harlot died in the plot of the childe’s wives and concubines before long,” said Xu Muan.
Xiao Jingting, “…” What a mess this was! That childe was really heartless and cruel!
Xu Muan looked at Xiao Jingting and said, “Are you alright?”
Xiao Jingting quickly shook his head, and said, “Of course I am. I’m fine!”
“Did you meet Xiao Qingyan today?” asked Xu Muan.
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Yes! That idiot probably believed he was invincible and wanted to get a place.”
“You can’t say he’s wrong! Someone likes to make himself safe, and someone else likes to make a name for himself. But it’s highly risky. I’m afraid, Xiao Qingyan will die without a burial place if he is eager for quick success and quick profits,” Xu Muan shook his head and said.
“Yes!” said Xiao Jingting. His parents would be sad if the guy died.
“Fortunately, after entering the secret area, you will be separated, otherwise, I am really afraid that Xiao Qingyan will be a burden on you,” said Xu Muan worriedly.
Xiao Jingting rubbed his nose. He did not expect Xu Muan was incredibly negative about Xiao Qingyan.
“Today, Xiao Qingyan talked about Xiaofan,” said Xiao Jingting.
Xu Muan was surprised and said, “What? What did he want to do with Xiaofan?”
“He said Xiaofan spent money carelessly to buy stones!” said Xiao Jingting.
Xu Muan, “…” Xiao Qingyan had always been proud. When did he learn to gossip? It seemed that he had been anxious and impatient recently.

“Xiao Qingyan seems to have changed a lot!” said Xu Muan.
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “That’s true.” That bad guy had stirred up trouble in front of his parents.
“I’m afraid you will have a lot of trouble when I’m gone,” said Xiao Jingting seriously.
Many people were jealous of his beverage-shop. When he was at home, there were Xiao Linfeng and Wang Lu standing behind him. No one dared to say anything. But it would be different once he left.
Xu Muan thought for a while and said, “Don’t worry about us. I’ll take action accordingly.”
“I can trust you, of course, but you don’t have to fight recklessly for the beverage-shop. I’ll leave you some more spiritual spring water,” said Xiao Jingting.
Xu Muan nodded and said, “Thanks.”
Xiao Jingting threw all the stones Xiao Xiaofan bought from the gambling house into the spiritual spring. The quality of the spiritual spring water quickly rose a lot. Xiao Jingting would mix a certain amount of spiritual spring water into the drinks. Now the drinks would achieve the effect before as long as one tenth of the amount was added.
Spiritual spring water was really good! It could help practice and make money.
“Take care of yourself while I’m not at home,” said Xiao Jingting. Zheng Pei’er had the Zheng Family behind her. Xu Muan could not depend on his parents at all, and the parents of the original body owner did not like Xu Muan very much. Perhaps, as soon as he left, the business of his shop would fall into the hands of others.
Xu Muan nodded and said, “I will.”
“If you cannot keep the shop, don’t keep it. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself,” said Xiao Jingting.
“I got it, and I’ll take care of myself. By the way, you’d better become a level-6 Qi practitioner if you’re going to compete,” said Xu Muan.
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “I think so. The Dream Birdwood Flower in the space of the jade pendant have grown up, and I’m almost top level-5 Qi practitioner. I can take spiritual grass now. What’s the way for me to take spiritual grass?”
“The Xiao Family has a prescription, which can help make the most use of the Dream Birdwood Flower. You can go to the library to check it. I’m not allowed to,” said Xu Muan.
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Well, I got it.”
He had only paid attention to the skills in the library but not much attention to the prescriptions.
“We have four grown-up Dream Birdwood Flower, I’ll leave two for you.” After Xu Muan became pregnant, his power was left behind a little. Otherwise, he would not be worse than Xiao Jingting.
Xu Muan nodded and said, “Thanks.” Xu Muan did not refuse Xiao Jingting’s offer, because he had to keep up with Xiao Jingting. He must do everything to improve his power and could not become Xiao Jingting’s burden.
