Shěn Zhòngksou twoo, offered a plate of food and said:
"That Culinary Cultivator made Ruhsal Gıda for us for several days to repay our kindness, until all the ingredients were used up."
"Although there was a lot, it wasn't actually that much, so you've all gotten a great bargain today."
"If you weren't disciples of the Shen Family, I wouldn't have given you such a good deal!"
Shěn Táoxī listened to her father boast, tutted twice, and shook her head repeatedly:
Dad, you've really let yourself go!
And you've also consolidated support among these people. Once we return, they'll surely lean more towards our side, these are the future of the Shen Family!
Awesome!
Shěn Táoxī secretly gave her father a thumbs-up.
Then she lowered her head and continued to elegantly and leisurely enjoy the delicious food.
Just then, the hem of a skirt swayed before her eyes, and an embroidered shoe suddenly appeared on her picnic mat.
Following the embroidered shoe, Shěn Táoxī looked at its owner.
She was about to get angry, about to flare up.
The next moment, Shěn Táoxī shouted:
"Shěn Yuèxī, get your dirty foot off!"
Shěn Yuèxī instinctively took a step back, just in time to leave the picnic mat.
But there was already a footprint there. This picnic mat was unusable.
Because it was dirty, trampled by a dirty person.
Shěn Táoxī stood up neither slowly nor quickly and stepped off the picnic mat.
Seeing this, Rèn Xīnyuè immediately tried to appease her daughter.
She cast a Dust Purification Technique and said:
"Taotao, it's okay now, it's clean, look!"
Shěn Táoxī still said: "It's not clean, Mother. It was stepped on by her stinky foot, it's not clean anymore."
"My feet don't stink, Shěn Táoxī, you're talking nonsense!"
Shěn Yuèxī retorted.
The next instant, a blur and the picnic mat was torn away by Shěn Táoxī, all the Ruhsal Gıda spilled onto the ground.
Everyone looked at the spilled Ruhsal Gıda and felt it was a pity.
Then a fire flared up, turning the picnic mat into ashes.
Shěn Hàorán didn't expect that while he was distracted, his sister would get into trouble again. He quickly stepped in front of Shěn Yuèxī.
"Second Sister, I apologize on behalf of Yuèxī, she didn't mean to."
Shěn Táoxī looked at her and snorted: "Hmph, compensate me for my picnic mat. You can't buy these here, they're rare and precious. You must compensate me!"
Shěn Hàorán took out a Storage Bag: "Here are five hundred low-grade spirit stones, to compensate you!"
"Brother! What for? It's just a tattered mat."
Shěn Hàorán scolded: "Shut up! Father's life is uncertain, can't you be a little more well-behaved!"
Shěn Yuèxī watched as Shěn Táoxī actually took the Storage Bag, becoming even more annoyed:
"We're all family, why should she eat alone?"
"I just felt hungry and wanted her to share some food with me!"
Shěn Yuèxī said this righteously, making Shěn Táoxī find it laughable.
Shěn Hàorán had no face to face anyone else.
Why hadn't he noticed before that his sister was so like this?
Taking things from others, and acting righteously as if bestowing charity.
"Shěn Yuèxī, if you want to eat, go trade with Second Uncle. Second Sister has no reason to share with you!"
Shěn Táoxī couldn't help but glance at Shěn Hàorán: This older brother was not badly raised!
Shěn Yuèxī, however, said:
"Why should I have to trade my own things? We are all members of the Shen Family, what's theirs is mine!"
"She should have given it to me directly."
Shěn Táoxī truly laughed this time:
"If that's the case, then yours is mine too, right?"
"I like that sword of yours, I like it, so you should give it to me, right?"
"No, why should I give you my things?"
Shěn Yuèxī instinctively clutched the sword in her hand.
"Idiot, stupid!"
Shěn Táoxī looked at this not-at-all-clever yet very proud Shěn Yuèxī, and suddenly lost interest in arguing.
She took out another new picnic mat, sat down on it.
Then she put out new dishes and began to enjoy the meal.
Seeing that Shěn Táoxī didn't care about her, Shěn Yuèxī became even more angry.
"Shěn Táoxī, you give me..."
"Shut up!"
The world fell silent.
Because her own brother, Shěn Hàorán, couldn't bear to see his sister acting foolishly, he directly applied a silence talisman to Shěn Yuèxī.
Shěn Táoxī curved her lips, enjoying her meal more comfortably, and poured a cup of wine.
Of course, she wasn't drinking it herself, but beckoned to Shěn Zhēng:
"Fifth Uncle, please come and eat first. This is Father's favorite wine. I secretly poured you a cup, please try it!"
Shěn Zhòng sniffed, detecting a familiar scent.
"Taotao, Taotao, did you steal my wine again?"
Shěn Táoxī pointed at Shěn Zhēng: "No, Fifth Uncle took it!"
Shěn Zhēng, who was inexplicably taking the blame… could it be played like this?
Should I drink it, or not drink it?
Since I'm already taking the blame, might as well drink it. Shěn Zhēng tilted his head and downed the cup in one go.
When Shěn Zhòng came over after distributing the Ruhsal Gıda, only an empty wine cup remained.
And Shěn Zhēng, who was slightly tipsy.
"Second Brother, this wine is really strong. It even works on cultivators!"
Shěn Zhòng glared at his daughter:
"Hurry and get your Fifth Uncle a sobering pill. We're counting on him to protect us tonight!"
Shěn Táoxī stuck out her tongue and immediately took out a pill.
"Father, Fifth Uncle can't hold his liquor, he's far from your match."
Shěn Zhòng said proudly: "That's right!"
Suddenly, Shěn Táoxī sensed something staring at her. She scanned her surroundings vigilantly.
A white afterimage flashed past. Shěn Táoxī's brow furrowed, and then she grabbed the little creature that was stealing her food:
"Stealing right in front of me."
She extended her other hand and flicked the fluffy little creature's belly:
"Serves you right for stealing my food. Hmph!"
The little creature was held by its tail, its body dangling.
It bared its teeth at Shěn Táoxī, as if threatening her.
Unfortunately, it was too small.
Seeing that it couldn't resist, the little creature changed its strategy, clasped its front paws together, and swayed its body up and down towards Shěn Táoxī.
Rèn Xīnyuè, who had walked over, saw this and laughed:
"This little thing is quite smart, smarter than the golden retriever we had before! It knows how to beg!"
Shěn Táoxī playfully flicked the little creature's backside twice more: "Begging won't work, I'm protective of my food!"
Shěn Zhēng saw the moon-shaped mark on the forehead of the little creature hugging its backside, and gasped:
"Frost Moon Fox cub?"
"Frost Moon Fox?"
Hearing this, Shěn Zhòng, Rèn Xīnyuè, and Shěn Táoxī exchanged glances, all seeing wariness and understanding in each other's eyes.
Isn't this the cub of that Tier 4 demonic beast that was chasing Shěn Yún?
Normally, Frost Moon Foxes are found in the extreme northern ice fields, in extremely cold regions, but this little cub somehow ended up here.
And the Frost Moon Fox also arrived here while pursuing.
Right now, it's chasing Shěn Yún!
Shěn Táoxī sniffed the scent on the cub: there was a human scent!
She guessed that a human cultivator might have found this cub and brought it back.
But because the adult Frost Moon Fox was pursuing, it never had a chance to be contracted.
She shook the little guy: "Hey, your mom is looking for you, go find your mom?"
Then she flicked it to the side. The fluffy white little ball rolled on the ground, getting covered in grass and dirt.
But the little creature didn't leave; instead, it came closer.
"Are you leaving or not? If you don't leave, I'll hit you!"
Shěn Táoxī threatened. Although it was a Seviye İki demonic beast, it was still a cub.
Shěn Táoxī was confident she could still beat it.
However, she was afraid that this cub here would attract the Tier 4 demonic beast, which was why she was so eager to make it leave.
But the little creature just didn't want to leave.
It approached the picnic mat step by step. Shěn Táoxī vigilantly stared at its little dirty paws and warned:
"If you dare to dirty my mat, I'll turn you into Ruhsal Gıda!"
"Braised, steamed, and roasted, all at once!"
The little creature looked wronged and pitiful, no longer moving forward, but it didn't leave either.
Just then, Shěn Yuèxī walked over at some point, having learned nothing, yet having learned a little…
She didn't approach the picnic mat, but looked at the little Frost Moon Fox with sparkling eyes: "Seviye İki Frost Moon Fox?"
This is a demonic beast born at Seviye İki. If it becomes my contract beast, then I would be...
