Spirit Meat, the Splendid Commerce Association's Wealth, and Spirit-Treasure Venerable Lingxian

Nan Xunran slowly reached out and covered Xiao Xiao's head, gently rubbing it.

Xiao Xiao comfortably squinted her eyes and, following his force, completely slid into his clothes.

Jin Jinyu rested her chin on her hand, her beautiful eyes sparkling, and asked in a charming voice, "Why haven't you shrunk?"

Xiao Xiao can shrink at will, and usually it wraps around Nan Xunran's wrist. It's rare for it to be huddled inside his clothes like it is now.

After all, it would be inconvenient not to have it wrapped around your wrist when something happens.

Jin Jinyu seemed to have guessed the reason, blinked her alluring eyes, and parted her red lips slightly, her tone languid. "Ah... haven't you two spent a long time together?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao peeked out again and glanced at Nan Xunran.

Seeing his indifferent expression, she let out a soft growl at Jin Jinyu, saying that she hadn't been close to her master for a long time, so what was wrong with being a little clingy? Damn humans!

Jin Jinyu couldn't help but laugh; her smile was charming and captivating.

Behind him, Pei Zimo said excitedly, "My lord! Let's go eat! The Delicacies Pavilion has produced a lot of Spirit Meat again!"

The Delicacies Pavilion is a branch of the Splendid Commerce Association, with influence throughout the Sacred Domain, and is renowned for its Spirit Meat.

Spirit Meat refers to ferocious beasts fed with spiritual pills. From the moment a ferocious beast is born, it is continuously fed expensive spiritual pills, so that its entire body is filled with spiritual power.

While consuming Spirit Meat can increase spiritual power, its effect is not as good as directly taking spirit pills. Its advantage lies in its greater deliciousness compared to the meat of ordinary ferocious beasts.

Aristocratic families typically don't expend resources to cultivate Spirit Meat; only the Splendid Commerce Association has sufficient financial resources to conduct large-scale cultivation, providing it to aristocratic scions who enjoy a life of luxury.

Spirit Meat flesh is extremely rare; a small piece is worth a fortune, and the supply is always very limited, often falling short of demand.

Jin Jinyu raised an eyebrow slightly and whispered, "Okay."

She moved with light, graceful steps, reached out and tugged at Nan Xunran's sleeve, saying sweetly, "Let's go, Divine Child."

With a thought, Xiao Xiao instantly shrank in size and obediently wrapped herself around Nan Xunran's wrist.

As the group left the inn, Jin Jinyu softly asked, "Have you finished eating all that Spirit Meat?"

Nan Xunran shook her head slightly.

Jin Jinyu put her finger to her lips, lost in thought, and murmured, "Could it be that we're tired of eating it every day?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Lingxuan nearly vomited blood in anger, and retorted indignantly, "I can barely afford two, and you're going to deliver one to him separately?!"

Jin Jinyu's eyes were alluring as she giggled, "What?"

Qiu Lingxuan turned his head away angrily, refusing to look at them anymore, muttering something under his breath.

Pei Zimo, barely suppressing a laugh, teased, "Who are you? Who is your master? Don't you have any idea?"

Qiu Lingxuan was speechless, "...

He then punched Pei Zimo hard.

Pei Zimo let out a loud "Ouch!" and grimaced in pain.

Delicacies Pavilion

Ling Xian keenly sensed Jin Jinyu's familiar aura, raised his head slightly, and said softly to the attendant beside him, "Go and prepare the Spirit Meat."

After saying that, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he thought to himself, "This trip was definitely worthwhile."

Outside the Delicacies Pavilion, Nan Xunran stood tall and slender, with Jin Jinyu beside him, a beautiful and charming woman.

Pei Zimo and the others followed behind, chatting and laughing as they slowly walked towards the Delicacies Pavilion.

The group entered the Delicacies Pavilion and steadily ascended the steps.

As soon as Pei Zimo entered, he was immediately drawn to the scene upstairs and exclaimed, "What's going on here? A banquet!"

A magnificent red carpet was neatly laid out, and a dazzling array of exquisite dishes were arranged on plates, forming a long banquet.

In the center of the banquet, Ling Xian stood alone, dressed in an elegant long robe, with a gentle and kind smile on his face.

The crowd downstairs followed them up the steps, whispering amongst themselves.

"It's that person from the Nan Clan."

"And the young lady of the Splendid Commerce Association."

"This treatment is truly unimaginable."

Upstairs, Jin Jinyu raised an eyebrow slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise. "Uncle Ling?"

Seeing this, Pei Zimo quietly leaned back and asked in a low voice, "Who is this?"

Pei Ziheng leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Spirit-Treasure Venerable Lingxian."

Ling Xian, the rarely seen head of the Delicacies Pavilion, possesses unparalleled culinary skills, making him a rare find. Upon hearing of the arrival of the Divine Son of the Nan Clan, he specially came to the branch pavilion to entertain him.

Qiu Lingxuan glanced at Pei Zimo sideways and said with a hint of teasing, "I know him, but you don't?"

Pei Zimo looked unwilling and muttered in rebuttal, "They're not from the Master's family, why should I know them?"

Nan Xunran glanced indifferently behind him, and the two immediately fell silent.

Ling Xian walked up to the group and smiled at Jin Jinyu, saying, "Miss, the food is ready."

Jin Jinyu smiled sweetly and said with delight, "You knew I was coming!"

Ling Xian smiled and replied, "Although I'm getting old, I can still recognize your aura, Miss."

Jin Jinyu blinked coquettishly and said with a charming smile, "You're not that old, you're only a little over a thousand years old."

Ling Xian threw his head back and laughed loudly, "Good, good, good, not at all!"

Then, his expression turned serious, and he turned to Nan Xunran and respectfully bowed, "Divine Son Xunran."
