I work as a veterinarian in the mountains, and at the beginning of the game, I find Daji (a legendar

From this perspective, Bao Si, the younger sister-in-law, did indeed win by a large margin.

However, it would be premature to draw conclusions based solely on Bao Si's account.

"So, you guys really didn't include Bao Si in the game because she won too many times?"

"How could that be!" Yuanbao slammed her hand on the mahjong table, her twin ponytails bouncing along with her massive pectoral muscles. "Brother Yuze, I'm the third-in-command of Lion Camel Ridge! Would I be short of money?"

“Hey, sir, you have to look closely. Although she’s not as rich as that little rich girl Yuanbao, she still has some savings.”

"That's right, that's right. I'm not the king of Seven-Colored Peak for nothing, you know."

Following closely behind Yuanbao, Ruyi and Chilian also slammed their fists on the table and began to display their... well, I mean their wealth and fortune.

The girls' skillful dribbling, one wave after another, left Chen Yuze somewhat dizzy.

So Chen Yuze had no choice but to turn his attention to Daji, who hadn't even started dribbling yet.

After all, among the girls at this table, Daji was the poorest.

Although she had no worries about food and clothing after arriving at the cabin, unlike her three sisters, she did not have her own little savings beforehand.

"I...I didn't! I didn't! My benefactor, please don't make things up!"

“I am Bao Si’s own sister. How could I possibly lead others to ostracize her just because Bao Si won against me and we have no spirit stones left to wager!”

Before Chen Yuze could even speak, Daji was already starting to panic.

Moreover, in order to avoid arousing Chen Yuze's suspicion, Daji even took the initiative to stand up from the mahjong table and twisted Bao Si's ear with lightning speed.

"You good-for-nothing Bao Si! Your sister forbids you from playing mahjong, isn't it for your own good? And not only are you ungrateful, you even go to complain to your benefactor! You..."

How could you be so insensible?

"???"

Bao Si was completely stunned by Daji's actions.

After all, she really wanted to play mahjong with her sisters, which is why she went to her brother-in-law to complain.

But to Bao Si's surprise, the first person to make a move was her own sister.

"No, sister, why won't you let me play?!"

The more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt, and Bao Si unconsciously raised her voice considerably.

Clearly, she was also genuinely angered by her sister's unreasonable behavior.

Don't think that just because you're my older sister, I'll always give in to you!

Even a cornered dog will jump over a wall, so it's only natural that a cornered fox would try to steal your brother-in-law, right?

However, when faced with Bao Si's questioning, Daji stood tall and answered with a straight face:

"Didn't I tell you to spend more time on cultivation? What cultivation level are we at now, and what cultivation level are you at now?"

"I have reached the Great Perfection of Transformation and am about to reach the Refinement of Emptiness." As soon as Daji finished speaking, Ruyi immediately announced her cultivation level.

"I have also reached the Great Perfection of Transformation, and I will soon be at the Refinement of Emptiness." This was Chi Lian's cultivation level after her severed arm was repaired under Chen Yuze's meticulous care.

"I'm a little less skilled. I only recently reached the late stage of the Transformation Realm." Although Yuanbao was the third leader of Lion Camel Ridge, her cultivation level was far inferior to that of her two older brothers. Therefore, she was a little shy when she announced her cultivation level.

"And what about you?" After the sisters announced their cultivation levels, Daji turned to Bao Si and asked, "Bao Si, what is your cultivation level now?"

"I...I am...in the middle, middle stage of transformation..."

Faced with Daji's question, Bao Si first blushed, and then all the energy she had been holding back vanished in an instant.

After all, if we're talking about playing mahjong based on cultivation level, then she's definitely not qualified.

But soon, Bao Si realized something was wrong.

Although her cultivation level was only at the mid-stage of the Transformation Realm, she had benefited from being a candidate for the Holy Maiden of Qingqiu, so her cultivation level couldn't possibly be lower than her older sister's, right?

"elder sister!"

Slapping away Daji's hand that was twisting her ear, Bao Si immediately puffed out her chest and took the initiative to ask:

"Sister, why don't you tell me what your cultivation level is? And sister, what gives you the right to point fingers at me? You don't think that just because you were born a little earlier than me, I have to listen to everything you say, do you?"

Daji couldn't help but laugh out loud at this.

"Hehe, I'm not very good at this game, so I can't compare to the ladies at the mahjong table."

Daji first shook her head regretfully, but then quickly changed the subject:

"After all, I'm only at the mid-stage of the Transformation Realm right now. The path of cultivation is long, and I still have a long way to go."

After saying this, Daji couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

LOL. You, Bao Si, can enjoy the benefits of being a candidate saintess of Qingqiu, but I, Da Ji, can't enjoy the benefits my benefactor gave me?

"Heh, sister, you're only in the mid-stage of transformation... wait, the middle stage of transformation?"

Halfway through her cold laugh, Bao Si suddenly froze in shock.

You know, I've only been separated from my sister for two or three months, so how come there's such a big difference in our cultivation levels all of a sudden?

"Hehe, my growth isn't just about increasing my cultivation level!"

On the other side, seeing her younger sister's discomfiture, Daji decided to put in even more effort and conjured her tail from behind.

"Bao Si, why don't you count how many tails your sister has now?"

"Tail?" Bao Si belatedly glanced at her older sister's buttocks, and then she was dumbfounded again.

Sister, what kind of strange deals did you and your brother-in-law make?!

It's one thing that your cultivation level suddenly surpasses mine by an entire major level, but now you even have two more tails than me.

"So, do you think I have the right to lecture you now?" With a slight smile, Daji discovered for the first time that persecuting her younger sister could be such an interesting thing.

"How dare you! Sister, you're bullying me!" Gritting her teeth, Bao Si glared at her sister, then steeled herself and turned to her brother-in-law, throwing herself into his arms.

"Waaaaah, brother-in-law, everyone's bullying Bao Si because of her low cultivation level! Bao Si is so sad~"

Okay~

Looking at Bao Si, who was nestled in his arms and acting coquettishly, Chen Yuze rubbed her head and then turned around to brew her a pot of Qingxin Longjing tea (from Chapter 57).

You should know that this Qingxin Longjing tea is rated as an SR item by the system. Its effects are far superior to Linglong Bingxin tea and Longquan Ming tea.

Drinking this tea regularly can not only enhance one's understanding but also purify one's blood.

Without the Demon Spirit Pill to help Bao Si advance her bloodline, Chen Yuze could only help his sister-in-law this far for now.

"After you finish this tea, Bao Si, you should begin your cultivation. With the help of this Qingxin Longjing tea, your cultivation progress should be greatly accelerated."

Bao Si: "???"

No, brother-in-law, shouldn't you be comforting me first? Why did you even think of having me cultivate?

So, you guys are really annoying!

095. The Empress's Little Secret

In the market of the common people's district within Qingqiu territory.

In order to make the most of this trip to Qingqiu, after staying in the Ice Terrace Pavilion for a full five days, Chen Yuze finally took the girls to experience the local customs and culture of Qingqiu.

Although it was supposed to be about experiencing local customs and culture, it was really just Bao Si taking her brother-in-law and his family on a lavish feast in Qingqiu.

For example, right now, the group stopped in front of a stall selling insect-based dishes such as fried pupae, roasted spiders, and roasted centipedes.

As the saying goes, those who live near mountains live off the mountains, and those who live near the sea live off the sea.

Not only in Qingqiu, but these dishes made from insects have a large following throughout the entire Shiwan Mountain region.

Different regions have even developed their own unique cooking methods. For example, insect dishes in Qingqiu are often characterized by frying and grilling.

Of course, just like in coastal areas, there are people who are allergic to seafood. Similarly, not all the monsters living in the Hundred Thousand Mountains can accept insect dishes.

On some mountains, there are even customs similar to those of some religions in Chen Yuze's previous life, where certain insects are considered taboo.

For example, if you take a bag of roasted spiders to eat on Spider Mountain, I guarantee that when you come down from Spider Mountain, you'll be squeezed dry by the spider demons, even drier than the roasted spiders themselves.

However, in places like Mantis Mountain, eating mantises is quite common.

Especially during the mating season of the mantises, the male mantises on Mantis Mountain would specially purchase large quantities of live mantises from other places to cook and fry for their wives.

To avoid waking up the next day to find yourself missing limbs.

Besides reasons such as 'allergies' and 'dietary restrictions', there are also monsters like Ruyi who simply can't bring themselves to eat insect dishes because they hate insects.

For example, at this moment, Ruyi, her face ashen, was staring intently at Chen Yuze and the fried pupae in his hand, hissing a warning:

"Don't come any closer! Aaaaaaahh ...

"No, this thing just looks a bit shabby, but it actually tastes pretty good." Licking the grease from the corner of his mouth, Chen Yuze thought for a moment and then continued:

"Ruyi, don't you always say that you want to go to the East China Sea for a seafood feast before you die? Actually, these fried pupae taste quite similar to crab meat."

"Yeah, yeah, Ruyi, if you can't stand fried pupae, how about trying my ant flowers?" Waving the oil paper in her hand, Chilian immediately grabbed a handful of ant flowers and stuffed them into her mouth: "After sprinkling them with honey and powdered sugar, they smell absolutely amazing!"

"Get out!"

Ruyi almost knelt down before Chen Yuze and Chilian, those two old men.

How could anyone be a pervert who likes to force a girl to eat insects?

"Can't you all learn from Yuanbao and be quiet, beautiful girls who eat their meals?"

As she frantically retreated, Ruyi pointed to the gold ingot beside her.

As a result, this gesture led to a view of Yuanbao sucking a live centipede about a foot long into his mouth like he was sucking on noodles. And that wasn't all; after sucking on the live centipede, Yuanbao immediately showed off two plump, juicy live longhorn beetle larvae.

"?"

Perhaps noticing Ruyi's gaze, Yuanbao tilted his head with a puzzled look on his face.

But then, as if she suddenly understood something, she held up the large basin of writhing worms in her hand to Ruyi:

"Want a bite of this mixed insect sashimi?"

"vomit……"

Watching the worms wriggling wildly in the basin, Ruyi felt an extreme churning in her stomach.

Especially after seeing the thick slurry still stuck to Yuanbao's lips, Ruyi bent over in the street and began to gag uncontrollably.
