Don't Disturb That One, or You Might Lose Your Life

Nan Xunran nodded slightly.

Ling Xian stepped aside and led the two to the main seat, with Pei Zimo and the others following closely behind. They then sat down on either side.

Once everyone was seated, Ling Xian quietly withdrew.

Jin Jinyu smiled sweetly. She gently raised her jade hand, picked up the green jade chopsticks in front of her, and took a small piece from the Spirit Meat that exuded a rich spiritual aura. She then gently handed it to Nan Xunran.

Nan Xunran's gaze fell on the Spirit Meat in front of him, and he shook his head slightly, showing no interest.

Her hand swayed gently, her jade-like fingers lightly pinching the fragrant Spirit Meat, then she put it in her mouth, giving Nan Xunran a reproachful look.

Nan Xunran turned his gaze to her, and with a slight twitch of his finger, a small piece of Spirit Meat flew up and landed near her mouth.

Jin Jinyu smiled radiantly, happily ate the food, then rested her chin on her hands, gazing at him with alluring eyes.

Qiu Lingxuan stared at the Spirit Meat before him, filled with doubt. "Is this a ferocious beast?"

Pei Ziheng took a sip of his wine and said, "Just an ordinary rabbit."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Lingxuan was utterly astonished. "Feed the rabbit a magic pill!"

He secretly marveled at the wealth of the Splendid Commerce Association.

Pei Zimo pursed his lips. "What's the big fuss about? What's wrong with entertaining the master with something new?"

Qiu Lingxuan chuckled to himself, thinking, "This is indeed novel. Compared to ferocious beasts, rabbits have a much lower absorption rate of elixirs, which means that feeding a rabbit will cost more resources than feeding a ferocious beast."

Thinking of this, he frantically shoveled at the Spirit Meat in front of him. If he missed this meal, he probably wouldn't be able to eat it again, so he had to eat as much as possible.

Pei Zimo's expression changed, and he shouted, "Ahhh, eat less! I'm all going to be hungry!"

Qiu Lingxuan took a moment to answer, gesturing with his chin towards the other side. "Aren't there still some over there?"

Pei Zimo looked disgusted. "I'm not going. It would make me look like I haven't eaten in centuries."

Having said that, he recklessly began to frantically tear at the Spirit Meat in front of him.

Pei Ziheng and Ning Shi, who were standing next to the two, exchanged a glance, shook their heads helplessly, and silently moved to the opposite side.

Downstairs

Gao Yanxi glanced around with her beautiful eyes and looked at Pei Xuan beside her, saying sweetly, "Senior Brother Pei, I heard that the Delicacies Pavilion has produced Spirit Meat again."

Upon hearing this, Pei Xuan stiffened, his voice slightly hoarse. "Is... is that so?"

Upon hearing this, the others quickly echoed, "Yes, Senior Brother Pei."

Gao Yanxi gently shook his arm and said coquettishly, "Senior Brother Pei, Yan'er wants to eat too."

Pei Xuan hesitated, secretly wondering where he would get so many spirit stones.

But seeing Gao Yanxi's expectant eyes, he hesitated before getting up.

One of the servants noticed this, quickly stepped forward, and respectfully asked, "Is there something you need?"

Pei Xuan pulled the servant aside and lowered his voice, "Do you have Spirit Meat this small here?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand to indicate the size.

The attendant looked at the size he was gesturing and promptly shook his head.

Pei Xuan turned to look at Gao Yanxi and the others behind him, only to find their eyes fixed on him. Undeterred, he pressed on, "No?"

You should know that he obtained a lot of magical artifacts and pills from the secret realm, and exchanged the useless ones for a lot of spirit stones, but even so, it was not enough to buy a whole piece of Spirit Meat.

Seeing that he wouldn't give up, the attendant couldn't help but roll his eyes and said directly, "All the Spirit Meat has been sold out."

Pei Xuan was startled and exclaimed, "What?! Sold out?"

The servant replied, "All the Spirit Meat has been brought upstairs."

Seeing that Pei Xuan hadn't returned for a long time, Gao Yanxi and the others went forward to check on him and happened to overhear this conversation.

Gao Yanxi's eyes widened, and she exclaimed in disbelief, "All of them?!"

She then smiled sweetly at the servant, but there was little sincerity in that smile. "May I ask which family's young master and young lady are upstairs?"

The servant, noticing her beautiful face, softened his tone and said, "It's the young lady and that person from the Nan Clan."

Gao Yanxi's voice changed. "That one from the Nan Clan?!"

Her hands trembled with excitement. If she could get close to that person, would she still need to curry favor with Pei Xuan?

Seeing her expression, the attendant knew what she was planning and kindly warned, "Don't disturb that person, or you'll lose your life."

At this moment, Gao Yanxi's mind was filled with Nan Xunran. She nodded casually, not paying any attention to what the servant said.

Seeing her absent-minded appearance, the attendant sighed helplessly and turned to leave.

Pei Xuan pulled Gao Yanxi, who was clearly distracted, and called softly, "Yan'er?"

Gao Yanxi snapped out of her daze, gripped Pei Xuan's shoulders tightly with both hands, her eyes reddening and filled with tears, and said coquettishly, "Senior Brother Pei, is it that Yan'er wants to eat?"

Pei Xuan looked troubled and said helplessly, "There's nothing I can do, Yan'er. There aren't any left. Are we supposed to go and steal them?"

Gao Yanxi said eagerly, "Let's go find that person; maybe he'll give us some."

A female disciple chimed in, "Great! I haven't met that person yet!"

The male disciples hesitated, and one of them said, "Didn't you hear what the attendant said? Why do you want to provoke that person? What if you cause trouble?"
