If He Has Any Requests, Do Your Best to Accommodate Him
[Ding... Congratulations, host. You successfully spent 2 million Simp Coins on a goddess. Your commission is 200,000!] [Ding... Congratulations, host. You spent money on a goddess. Huo Ying's favorability +10. Her current favorability toward you is 1.]
Feng Xiaotian had just finished applying a layer of ointment to Huo Ying when the system's notification sounded.
He had successfully obtained 200,000 Wolf Warrior Coins, and Huo Ying's favorability had risen from negative to positive in the bargain.
If not for those 200,000 Wolf Warrior Coins, he really wouldn't have bothered coming here of his own accord.
If he eliminated Huo Ying's fire poison and restored her looks to a score of 96 or above, he could reap even greater benefits.
At least the spending limit for an Exquisite Goddess was 5 million Wolf Warrior Coins, rather than the 2 million he could spend each day now, with a maximum commission of only 200,000.
Although his current spending limit was only 2 million, at least he could keep spending it day after day.
Feng Xiaotian had exchanged the medicine through the system. It wasn't actually that fast at treating fire poison, but it had other effects. Those effects were of limited use to Huo Ying, though, so they were essentially wasted.
If the medicine's effects were worth 2 million, then more than 1.98 million of that value was wasted. It couldn't be helped; he was just that rich and could do as he pleased.
After applying the medicine, Huo Ying swallowed a pill Feng Xiaotian had given her.
A few minutes later, a smile finally appeared on Huo Ying's face. She must have felt that what Feng Xiaotian had given her really worked.
The fire poison in her body had been suppressed somewhat. Although a complete cure was still some time away, Feng Xiaotian's medicine had let her see hope of recovery for the first time. It had also earned Feng Xiaotian a double-digit gain of 10 favorability points for the first time.
Unfortunately, even after gaining 10 points, Huo Ying's favorability was still only 1. That undoubtedly meant she had had a very poor impression of him before.
"Xiaotian, this medicine of yours is wonderful. Do you have any more?" Huo Ying asked delightedly. A goddess who loved beauty couldn't refuse a chance to restore her looks to their peak.
Feng Xiaotian shook his head. "Not today. I have to prepare it every day."
"You have to prepare it every day?" Huo Ying asked, puzzled.
Feng Xiaotian smiled and nodded. "Yes. For the best effect, it has to be used within six hours of preparation. Once that time passes, its effectiveness declines."
The system only allowed him to spend 2 million a day on an Ordinary Goddess, leaving Feng Xiaotian helpless.
After all, the only way to raise the limit was to get the goddess's favorability above 90, and even then, how much it would increase was unknown.
Fortunately, he had plenty of time. At his current age, the real plot was still a long way from unfolding, and there was still time for everything.
Huo Ying said, "Xiaotian, what do you need to prepare this medicine? If you need anything, just tell me!"
Feng Xiaotian said, "All right. If I need anything, I'll be sure to come to you, Aunt Huo."
But just as Feng Xiaotian finished speaking, he noticed Huo Ying's expression change slightly. Then a familiar voice came from behind him. "Feng Xiaotian? What are you doing here?"
"Huo Wu?" Feng Xiaotian turned around and saw Huo Wu frowning, looking a little angry.
"Didn't I tell you before that you weren't allowed to come here?" Huo Wu said again, then went over to Huo Ying. But when she looked at her mother, Huo Ying didn't seem angry at all.
More importantly, she had actually taken the veil off her face!
Puzzled, Huo Wu asked, "Mom, what are you doing?"
Huo Ying smiled. "It's nothing. I'm just having Xiaotian help me treat the fire poison."
"Treat the fire poison?" Huo Wu looked surprised. She turned to Feng Xiaotian in disbelief and asked, "You can help my mom treat her fire poison?"
Feng Xiaotian answered directly, "I just happen to know how!"
"Also, the medicine has to be used continuously. If you miss even one day, it'll affect the overall treatment. You two talk; I'll head back first."
With that, he prepared to leave. He had come here for the commission, so there was no need to stay any longer.
Huo Ying nodded. "Thank you. Sorry for the trouble, Xiaotian."
As she watched Feng Xiaotian leave, a helpless look appeared on Huo Ying's face. She was proud too, even more so than Huo Wu! But compared with some things, pride wasn't worth a penny.
The fire poison had tormented her for years and left her unable to show her face to others.
Yet the one who could provide her with some treatment was Feng Xiaotian, whom she hadn't thought much of before.
But after suppressing her Soul Power to fight Feng Xiaotian today, her opinion of him had also changed.
"Wu'er, what did you come to see me about? You're the one who told Feng Xiaotian about the fire poison in my body, aren't you? How far have things progressed between you two? You even told him about that," Huo Ying asked.
Huo Wu shook her head, looking just as puzzled. "Mom, how could I tell an outsider about your affairs?"
Huo Ying was taken aback. "You didn't tell him, Wu'er?"
"It definitely wasn't me, and nothing has developed between Feng Xiaotian and me. Mom, stop saying things like that," Huo Wu added.
Huo Ying was puzzled. If Wu'er didn't tell him, could it have been Wushuang? Or... sigh... never mind that for now. At least his medicine seems very effective. I'll use it for a while and see.
Huo Wu said seriously, "If he really can help you recover, Mom, then we'll truly owe him a favor. I'll repay him when the time comes."
Huo Ying smiled. "Actually, I think Feng Xiaotian is quite a good young man. With his Mutated Martial Soul and Innate Full Soul Power, he's a good match for you, Wu'er. If possible, you should spend more time with him. Even if you can't establish a relationship now, you should still leave a good impression and maintain a good friendship."
Faced with Huo Ying's words, Huo Wu was at a loss. She didn't even know what to say.
In the past, hadn't she had Feng Xiaotian in the palm of her hand? If she said east, he wouldn't have dared say west.
But now Feng Xiaotian's attitude toward her was the complete opposite of before. More importantly, he had become close with that group of female students from Skywater Academy. What could she do?
Huo Wu could only reply helplessly, "Mom, I know. I'll keep that in mind."
But Huo Wu didn't know what to do, or perhaps she didn't really want to do it.
Do I have to go looking for Feng Xiaotian myself? He was always the one who came to me before!
Huo Ying said, "Good, that's good. Wu'er, don't judge him by how you saw him before. Perhaps the real him isn't the same as the one you saw."
Huo Wu nodded again. She had originally come today to talk about the exchange tournament and how Feng Xiaotian had disguised himself before and was different now. But her mother, Huo Ying, had most likely noticed that too, so there was no need to discuss it further.
"Then get some rest, Mom. I'll go back now," Huo Wu said.
Huo Ying said, "All right, but there's one thing I need you to do for me. During the exchange tournament, go see Feng Xiaotian every morning and bring the medicine back for me. If he has any requests, do your best to accommodate him."
Accommodate his requests? Huo Wu was puzzled, but she nodded and agreed. "Mom, I understand. Leave it to me!"
