Chapter 1532: Just Taking a Look
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xue Fanxin’s appearance did not cause much of a stir. Because her petite appearance gave off the feeling that she was not competitive at all, no one was worried that she would become a competitor for the Fire Crystal Flower.
Since she was no match for them, there was no need to pay too much attention to her, nor was there a need to waste energy on this person.
Others did not pay attention to Xue Fanxin, but there were always others who paid attention. A few of them looked at the girl walking over in shock. “Brother…” Hua Shangmei had originally been chattering with Xue Fanxin along the way, advising her not to come here and wade in the muddy water. But now, when he saw his brother, he immediately ran forward and could not wait to introduce him. “Brother, do you still remember Xue Fanxin? Here… This girl insists on coming here to join in the fun. She won’t listen no matter what.”
Although Hua Zhaimei had only seen Xue Fanxin once, he had an extremely deep impression of her, especially the fish she roasted. The taste was superb. He had gone back and found many famous chefs, but they could not make that exquisite taste.
Not only did Xue Fanxin’s culinary skills leave a deep impression on him, but her identity also shocked him. Therefore, even though he had only seen her once, he remembered this person clearly.
“Fanxin, long time no see. How have you been?” Hua Zhaimei was the first to greet her. Be it his tone or attitude, he was quite polite. He was a little easygoing, as if he was greeting a good friend.
A woman in a pink dress beside Hua Zhaimei saw that Hua Zhaimei’s attitude towards Xue Fanxin was so good and immediately felt a sense of danger. She knew that something was wrong.
Young Master Zhaimei rarely had such a polite and easygoing attitude towards women. Unless their relationship was extraordinary, he would never take another look or say a word.
This girl called Fanxin could make Young Master Zhaimei treat her so politely and easily. It could be seen that their relationship was not ordinary.
Xue Fanxin’s observation skills were very sharp, so she quickly noticed that the woman standing beside Hua Zhaimei was a little hostile and excited towards her. However, she usually ignored such a person, so she ignored her and only spoke to Hua Zhaimei, “Young Master Hua, it looks like you’ve been doing quite well recently!”
“How can I live a good life without your roasted fish? Little girl, it’s rare to see you. You have to get more roasted fish this time and let me eat enough.” Hua Zhaimei completely ignored the woman beside him and only spoke to Xue Fanxin.
“There’s no problem with the roasted fish, but you have to be mentally prepared. The remuneration is not low.” “You damned girl, you actually dare to mention remuneration to me.” “Brothers should settle scores clearly.”
“Alright, alright, alright. As long as you get those roasted fish, the remuneration can be discussed. Quickly. The moment I see you, I’m hungry again.” The moment Hua Zhaimei saw Xue Fanxin, his mind was filled with the delicious roasted fish. He could not wait to eat it.
Hua Shangmei had never eaten Xue Fanxin’s delicious food. Seeing his brother’s greedy expression, he was very curious. “Brother, you’re about to advance to the Deity Realm after all. Why do you always want to eat? I don’t see you eating often. When did you become a foodie?”
Hua Zhaimei knocked Hua Shangmei’s head with the fan in his hand and reprimanded him angrily, “Don’t interfere in my business. As for you, why are you here? Didn’t I tell you to stay at home? Even if you don’t stay at home, you can’t come here.”
Countless experts from the five continents, ten regions, and three bounds and six lands had gathered here.
Facing so many experts, once he started to fight for the Fire Crystal Flower, he would not have the ability to take good care of his younger brother. If he diverted his attention to take care of others, the chances of him snatching the Fire Crystal Flower would be much lower. There was almost no chance of winning.
It seemed like he could not snatch this Fire Crystal Flower.
“Brother… I was wronged! I originally wanted to train outside the Forest of No Return, but something happened later…” Hua Shangmei explained Yang Wenlu and Zhou Yuanyuan briefly.
When Hua Zhaimei heard that Yang Wenlu and Zhou Yuanyuan were chasing after his younger brother, his expression turned extremely ugly. He looked like he wanted to skin his life alive. His anger and killing intent were extremely strong. “Back then, I long advised you not to get too close to that Yang Wenlu, but you refused to listen. Do you know your mistake now? If you hadn’t met Fanxin, you would have died here.”
“Brother, I know my mistake.”
“Eating will make you smarter. I hope you can really grow up this time. As for Yang Wenlu and Zhou Yuanyuan, I definitely won’t let them off after the matter of the Fire Crystal Flower is over.”
If he dared to kill his younger brother, he had to be mentally prepared to die.
“Brother, I knew that you doted on me the most. However, I really have to thank Sister-in-law Ye this time. If she had not saved me, I would have really died at Yang Wenlu’s hands.”
When the woman standing beside Hua Zhaimei saw that Hua Zhaimei and Hua Shangmei were chatting happily with Xue Fanxin, her heart was filled with jealousy and displeasure. However, when she heard Hua Shangmei say the words ‘Sister-in-law Ye’ , her entire body paused and she could not help but ask, “Second Young Master, who is Sister-in-law Ye?”
Actually, she had already guessed who Sister-in-law Ye was. She just wanted to be more certain.
If that woman called Fanxin already had a partner, she would not snatch Young Master Zhaimei from her, so there was no need for her to think too much.
“Who else could it be? Of course it’s her.” Hua Shangmei did not think too much about it and answered the question readily.
However, meticulous people could always tell something. Xue Fanxin asked with a smile, “Who is this girl?”
Before Hua Zhaimei could introduce her, Hua Shangmei replied actively, “Her name is Hua Furong. She was an orphan adopted by my parents and has been by my brother’s side ever since.”
“So it’s Miss Furong. Nice to meet you.”
“Miss Fanxin, you’re too polite,” Hua Furong replied generously. She could hide her thoughts and emotions very well, and not many people noticed her abnormality.
However, after Hua Zhaimei heard Hua Furong speak, especially her question to Xue Fanxin, he did not hesitate. However, he did not say much and only waited coldly, ignoring Hua Furong’s existence. He continued to say to Xue Fanxin, “Little girl, why did you come here for no reason? This place is very dangerous. Before the Fire Crystal Flower blooms, you’d best leave.”
“The Fire Crystal Flower is a rare treasure. Even if I can’t snatch it, it’s good to have a look! I’m just here to take a look…”
At the same time, if there was a chance, she would not miss out on fighting for the Fire Crystal Flower.
When many people heard Xue Fanxin’s words, they really thought that she was only here to take a look, so they did not think too much about it, nor did they take it to heart.
However, Hua Zhaimei knew that Xue Fanxin was very smart. She had always been doted on by Ye Jiushang, so she had probably developed a lawless personality. Although she said that she was only here to see the Fire Crystal Flower, she definitely had the intention to snatch it.
This girl had Ye Jiushang as her backer. He was not worried that she would be in any danger, but one can never be too careful, and his younger brother…
It seemed like he really could not snatch this Fire Crystal Flower.
Xue Fanxin looked at Hua Zhaimei’s unpredictable expression and asked speechlessly, “Hey, what’s with that expression? Can’t I come and take a look?”
“Alright, alright, alright. You can come and see whatever you want. Anyway, with that guy protecting you, you might not die even if others die.” Hua Zhaimei no longer advised Xue Fanxin, nor did he force her to leave. Instead, he turned his gaze to his younger brother and ordered coldly, “Leave immediately tomorrow. ”
Hua Shangmei did not dare to disobey his brother. No matter how unwilling he was, he had to listen to orders. “Yes, I understand. I’ll definitely leave obediently tomorrow.”
He knew that his brother was doing this for his own good. When the Fire Crystal Flower bloomed, those old fellows and old monsters would definitely fight. With his ability, staying would only drag his brother down. He might not be able to protect his life, so it was best to leave.
When Hua Zhaimei saw his obedient younger brother, he was helpless and speechless. Since he was already here, he could not say anything. He looked at Xue Fanxin and smiled again. “Fanxin, anyway, that Fire Crystal Flower hasn’t bloomed. I have nothing to do now. Why don’t you get some roasted fish or meat to eat? You’ll definitely get paid.”
“Great uncle, Sister Moning, are you hungry?” Xue Fanxin did not immediately respond to Hua Zhaimei, but asked the people around her.
Ever since she found out that she was related to Xue Fanxin by blood, Shui Moning had let go of herself a lot. She was not as reserved in front of Xue Fanxin as before, nor would she care about anything. She said whatever she wanted, “Fanxin, we were only concerned about running for our lives previously and were not even hungry. I’m indeed a little hungry now.”
“Alright, find a place to rest first. I’ll cook immediately.”
“Let me help you.”
“Sure!”
Shui Dongliu already knew that Xue Fanxin was the Nine Nether Consort. On the way just now, his daughter had already secretly told him some secrets about Xue Fanxin. At this moment, he was still in shock. When he thought of the Nine Nether Consort cooking for him, he was a little flattered.
“Fanxin, don’t work too hard. Just let Moning cook. After all…”
Xue Fanxin knew what Shui Dongliu was thinking and smiled leisurely. “Great uncle, Sister Moning told you so much, but didn’t she tell you that my culinary skills are peerless in the world?”
“Well…
“Father, don’t think too much. Just wait for the feast. Fanxin’s culinary skills are really, really good. The spirit dishes she makes are even better. Those spirit dishes defeats any master.” Shui Moning pulled her father to an empty seat and went to help Xue Fanxin.
Xue Fanxin had already taken out a pile of kitchenware, cutlery, various ingredients, oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar. She had even taken out the roasted meat rack. The scene was really shocking.
Not far away, a few ruthless gazes kept staring in their direction, wishing they could skin Xue Fanxin alive..
