What? You opened a resort on the battlefield of all races?

Chen Dong: "???"

He had initially shown a hint of amusement on his face.

But after hearing Lingyuedie's words, it was gone.

The smile on his face peeled away little by little, like old, worn-out paint on a wall.

Chen Dong slowly turned his head, looked at Ling Yuedie who was smiling sincerely, and then looked at Xu Tianlin standing next to her.

Only one thought remained in my mind.

This melon...

How did the melon patch suddenly become my own while I was eating it?

He's already had enough of that today.

First, he met an "older brother" who looked to be about the same age as him in Qianqiu territory.

Along the way, he introduced the Chu family to people.

Introduce the resort.

They even generously slipped him a teleportation scroll, as if afraid that Xu Tianlin, this brother "whose hometown is unknown," was unsophisticated.

In the end...

He's the owner of the resort.

The shop owner is so mysterious that very few people in the entire martial arts world have actually seen him.

Chen Donggang had barely managed to process this matter.

Now the Spirit Moon Butterfly told him—

Don't rush, there's more to come.

You'll soon be able to drink the engagement wine between your older brother and the woman you love.

Chen Dong stood there, looking as if someone had shoved a large spoonful of undissolved bitter melon powder into his face.

bitter.

There's nowhere to vomit.

"no……"

He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but the words stuck in his throat.

Because Chen Dong suddenly discovered.

I feel like I don't even have the confidence to refute it.

He looked down at himself.

Flying Realm.

He came from an ordinary background.

He didn't have any extraordinary talents from a young age, nor did he have any powerful family backing him up.

He was just an ordinary martial artist, nothing special.

Even if you want to stay at a resort for a few more days, you have to check if you have enough money in your pocket first.

Let's take a look at Xu Tianlin.

Resort owner.

The person who can bring the evil energy purification SPA directly into the Snow Shadow Wolf Den.

The Spirit Moon Butterfly, which was at the Fusion Realm, couldn't cause any trouble in his hands.

Even Kun Jinshu, who has now entered the Mahayana realm, calls him "boss" every other word, smiling more enthusiastically than the waiters greeting customers at the restaurant entrance.

Between herself and Boss Xu, what will Chu Qian choose?

Chen Dong even made a list in his mind.

The first item is cultivation level.

Myself, Flying Realm.

Xu Tianlin, whose exact cultivation level is unknown, was like a well-behaved elementary school student in front of Ling Yuedie, who was in the Fusion Dao Realm, even though she was in the teacher's office.

Chen Dong silently crossed out that this item didn't need to be compared.

The second item is the background.

I come from an ordinary family. The most striking feature of my home is that the courtyard wall is painted a little newer than the one next door.

Xu Tianlin, the resort owner.

Nowadays, countless martial artists from the Twelve Prefectures dream of squeezing into that area.

Cross it out again.

The third item is assets.

After thinking for a long time, Chen Dong decided to skip it.

This project is somewhat of an insult to myself.

The fourth item is personal connections.

He looked up and glanced at the golden rat.

The Mahayana realm.

He's just an employee of Boss Xu.

Row.

There's no need to compare anymore.

Chen Dong silently crumpled the non-existent form into a ball and threw it into a non-existent trash can.

Four comparisons.

They suffered a crushing 0-4 defeat.

How can you compare these?

What are we comparing it to?

After saving up his savings for a long time, he pulled out a teleportation scroll.

They looked down.

Oh.

My family sells them.

The more Chen Dong thought about it, the more his chest tightened.

He could even picture what would happen in the future.

Years later, I finally mustered up the courage to go to the resort.

I saw Chu Qian in the distance.

I was just about to call out "Xiaoqian".

Someone nearby reminded me.

"Pay attention to how you address someone."

Then all I could do was stand there obediently, bow my head, and respectfully call out.

"Hello, boss lady."

Chen Dong felt completely dejected.

Today's almanac probably has four large characters written on it.

It is not advisable to be in a romantic relationship.

"Ugh."

A sigh suddenly came from the side.

Before Chen Dong could react, someone patted him on the shoulder twice.

Lingyuedie appeared beside him at some point.

The guy who just used Chen Dong as a shield is now putting on the act of an elder comforting a younger person.

"fine."

"Try to think more positively."

Lingyue Die spoke with deep sincerity.

"In life, there are some things you can't force."

Chen Dong stared at it blankly, while Lingyue Die continued to comfort it:

"Besides, aren't you and Qianqian on pretty good terms?"

"Think positively."

"If Boss Xu and Qianqian really get together in the future, you'll be considered an old friend of the boss's wife."

"With your relationship, you might not have to queue for facilities at resorts in the future."

Lingyuedie paused for a moment, then added carefully.

"Maybe I can even get a discount."

"Are you sure you don't want to break my legs?"

Chen Dong slowly turned his head, and the expression on his face was hard to describe in a single word.

It's like someone just stabbed you in the chest, and after pulling the knife out, they noticed the wound wasn't clean, so they very considerately trimmed it with scissors.

Lingyue Butterfly: "..."

Chen Dong twitched his lips.

The smile that's shown is hardly better than a cry.

"I might be blacklisted by the resort soon."

It originally just wanted to offer a few words of comfort, but why does it feel like the more it comforts the kid, the more serious the situation becomes?

The golden rat next to him also secretly glanced over.

The meaning in his eyes was quite clear.

Old Butterfly.

You can shut up.

To add a few more words, this kid can choose his own burial plot on the spot.

"Alright."

Xu Tianlin finally couldn't listen anymore.

"What a load of nonsense."

This gathering of all races is truly entertaining.

They didn't talk about any serious matters, but they've almost developed a complete industry chain of gossip.

Xu Tianlin was too lazy to continue arguing with them.

His purpose in coming to Xiling Prefecture was never to participate in any marriage proposal.

What Chu Qian and Chen Dong do is their own business.

What I really need to solve is the inheritance of the Chu family, and that world anchor that is disappearing.

Thinking about this...

Xu Tianlin's smile faded slightly.

The Demon Emperor is probably about to make a big move as well.

Anchor point of the world.

The origin of the world.

Tianyan.

And then there are those ancient artifacts that are constantly being eroded by the abyss.

The things seem scattered, but now they are slowly starting to converge in the same direction.

He won't have this much time to figure things out on his own.

Xu Tianlin raised his head and glanced around.

Golden Rat, Moonlit Butterfly, Ice Flame Tiger, Underworld Lizard, Azure Giant Antelope...

These old guys were summoned by a wisp of law from Lingyuedie.

Each and every one of them was at least at the peak of the Fusion Realm.

"You've come at the perfect time."

Xu Tianlin suddenly spoke.

The myriad races, each with their own thoughts, all turned to look at them.

Xu Tianlin raised his hand and pointed to the Snow Shadow Wolf Den behind him.

"You might be able to help with the Chu family's change of bloodline inheritance."

He looked at the row of advanced races in front of him and nodded in satisfaction.

"It saves me the trouble of looking for people everywhere."
