I'm Here~~~

This time, after the sect battle, Jiang Lin had a full 150 High-Grade Spirit Stones!

Without a second word, Jiang Lin first exchanged 149 High-Grade Spirit Stones at the Sun Moon Sect bank for more than ten thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones. Originally, he had wanted to exchange them all for Low-Grade Spirit Stones—after all, having more money felt reassuring.

But after thinking it over, Jiang Lin decided that would waste too much space in his Storage Bag, so he let it go.

As for the one High-Grade Spirit Stone he kept, Jiang Lin gave it to Little Niannian.

The Spiritual Power inside the spirit stones was extremely abundant, and they also had excellent carrying capacity. High-Grade Spirit Stones were especially so. Otherwise, how could they serve as the universal currency of the cultivation world?

So, to prevent anything from happening to Little Niannian, Jiang Lin threaded that smooth, rounded spirit stone into a crystal-clear pendant, then carved the I am the Bone of my Sword Array inside it.

As soon as Little Niannian encountered any danger, the Array would activate at once, and the thousands of swords from Unlimited Blade Works would stab the opponent until they looked like a pangolin. And even if the Array failed, it would not matter.

If Little Niannian remained in danger, Jiang Lin had also carved a Teleportation Array into it. The spirit stone would use its remaining Spiritual Power to teleport Little Niannian to a random location.

After finishing all this, Jiang Lin went to the Spring Breeze Pavilion of the Sun Moon Sect.

The Sun Moon Sect's Spring Breeze Pavilion stood on the bustling commercial street in one of the sect's towns.

Although the Spring Breeze Pavilion did entertain people through beauty, it was mainly a place where the Sun Moon Sect's cultivators came to cultivate their tastes...

Jiang Lin, who had made a killing this time, was treating everyone at the Spring Breeze Pavilion. He would pay half of all the expenses today!

Of course, Jiang Lin had brought Little Niannian with him today. Any outfit that was too revealing was strictly forbidden. What if they corrupted a child?

Besides, tonight was genuinely just a meal to celebrate. Nothing else was allowed—after all, there was a child present.

They were just eating, so the cultivators invited to the Sun Moon Sect did not mind. Although they did want something more,

the all-in-one service was simply too expensive. That brat Jiang Lin was stingy to the bone, like a Pixiu that only took in and never let out. The fact that he was willing to treat them at all was already pretty good.

But!

No one could have imagined that!

Just as the invited Sun Moon Sect cultivators sat down at their tables, they saw Jiang Lin, with an adorable Little Dragon Girl riding on his neck, going from table to table handing out red slips of paper.

On closer inspection:

[To celebrate our sect's Jiang Lin's triumphant return, holders of this voucher get free drinks and half off the entire venue (special services suspended for today).]

When the cultivators saw the discount vouchers, they nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood!

What did he mean by "paying half the expenses"? Who invited people to dinner with discount coupons?

No wonder that stingy brat Jiang Lin had suddenly decided to treat them. It turned out to be another rotten idea of his—to team up with the Spring Breeze Pavilion for a discount promotion! This discount voucher was probably another thing he had dreamed up himself.

And he had probably taken a kickback, too!

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Standing in the center of the enormous stage, with Little Niannian still riding on his neck, Jiang Lin cleared his throat and shouted:

"Folks, I, Jiang Lin, may be unworthy, but I defeated the Six Major Sects and happened to make a little money. Today, everyone, don't stand on ceremony with me. You've all received the discount vouchers, right? Good. Eat well and drink well today—let's not stop until we're all drunk!"

The moment Jiang Lin finished speaking, the scene erupted in an uproar:

"Jiang Lin, your great-aunt's husband! Was this discount voucher your idea again?"

"Jiang Lin, is this how you treat people? I... Oh, my mother, this chicken leg is delicious."

"Jiang Lin, where's the bellyband I preordered? Why hasn't it arrived yet?"

"Your master bought Spring Breeze Leaves No Trace from me. When are you going to pay me back?"

"Jiang Lin, you beast! My sow got pregnant yesterday. Was that your doing?"

"Holy crap! Is this fake liquor? Did they water it down?"

The Sun Moon Sect brothers present were all dissatisfied with Jiang Lin's use of discount vouchers to treat them and wanted to settle accounts with him.

However, although they complained with their mouths, they still started eating the dishes on the tables and drinking the watered-down fake liquor. The scene was extremely boisterous, yet everyone seemed incredibly happy.

After all, wherever that brat Jiang Lin was, there was joy. And during this lively gathering, drinking and eating meat together with their fellow disciples at the same table, without distinction between one another, was the best thing of all.

Little Niannian also looked very happy at such a lively scene.

Jumping down from Daddy's shoulder, Little Niannian wandered around the enormous Spring Breeze Pavilion. Watching the uncles drink nonstop and say things she could not understand, she did not know why, but when they were happy, she felt happy too.

"Oh my, you must be Jiang Niannian. You're so cute."

When a Little Dragon Girl suddenly climbed onto their table, the eyes of all the grown men at the table lit up.

"Little Niannian, you must never learn from that bastard Jiang Lin. That guy only knows how to deceive people."

"He's not only a liar—he's a lecher, too."

"Never mind him being a lecher. That guy's brain is messed up as well. His ideas are bizarre beyond belief. No one can keep up with him."

"You're not allowed to say bad things about Daddy."

Little Niannian stood up with both hands braced on the table, planting her tiny fists on her hips. With her little mouth pouting, she looked unbelievably fierce.

"Hahaha, sorry, sorry." A purple-haired brother said drunkenly, "I apologize. Little girl, I'll punish myself with a drink."

Seeing him apologize to her Daddy, Niannian immediately broke into a radiant smile. She actually knew that although they were cursing Daddy, she could tell that they really liked him.

"Niannian wants to drink too."

"Huh?"

"Really?"

"Really."

After pouring Little Niannian a small cup, the girl took a tiny sip. It was so spicy that Little Niannian kept fanning her little tongue.

"Little Niannian, that won't do. How will you drink with your Daddy when you grow up? You have to learn too."

Little Niannian glanced at Daddy, who was happily drinking with the uncles at the neighboring table. Her large eyes filled with adorable reluctance. "Niannian wants more!"

"No, no, Uncle was only joking. A little is enough, Little Niannian. Otherwise, if that fellow Jiang finds out, my hen will probably start shrieking again."

On the other side, seeing Little Niannian surrounded by a group of strange uncles, Jiang Lin was not worried. Those fellows might be unserious most of the time, but they were actually quite reliable. Besides, Little Niannian looked like she was having fun.

After three rounds of drinks, even the watered-down fake liquor had gotten one person after another drunk. The atmosphere rose another level. Not a single person used Spiritual Power to sober up while drinking; they were relying entirely on their innate physiques.

After eating and drinking her fill, Little Niannian returned to Daddy's side and fell asleep on Jiang Lin's head. Her little tail kept tapping the back of his head, while her tiny mouth held onto his hair.

It was a wonder Little Niannian could fall asleep in such a noisy environment.

Finally finding a moment to slip away, Jiang Lin pushed aside one drunkard after another without the slightest courtesy. Supporting Little Niannian on his head, he staggered upstairs.

"Hehehe... Miss Wu Die... I'm here~~~"
