"You must be kidding! That's the manager of the Panda Restaurant's main branch!" the monsters exclaimed in surprise.
"So the Gao family is super rich? They have such influence, no wonder they're so generous!" the female demons exclaimed in surprise.
"So humans all like to treat others?" the monster exclaimed.
"What? Did Qin Jing invite you to dinner as well?" Gao Quan asked in surprise. He had thought Qin Jing was a bookworm, but he didn't expect her to be so capable.
"Ah, he held a tasting event once during a club activity, but there hasn't been one since. We've been urging him to come back, but he's refused. He's so stingy. All he does is hog the food from the female monsters in his club," the male monster complained.
"Hahaha! Is that so? Actually, not all humans are so stingy." Gao Quan was in a good mood after hearing the monster's words and laughed loudly, beckoning the crocodile manager to come forward.
"Bring us all your best dishes first, make sure we're satisfied, and we'll come back again tomorrow," Gao Quan said, waving the black card in his hand at the Crocodile Manager.
"Okay, is there anything you need?" the crocodile manager said, bowing.
"As for drinks, we're students and can't drink alcohol, so let's have some of the best fruit juice," Gao Quan said.
"I understand. Then I'll prepare fruit juices with the flavors that each type of monster likes," the crocodile manager agreed.
"Gao Quan is the best human being I've ever met in my life!"
"Gao Quan is generous, good at sports, and knows how to take care of his classmates. Qin Jing can't compare at all."
"Exactly! Exactly! Apart from being prettier and having a better temperament than Gao Quan, Qin Jing is utterly useless!"
"Exactly, exactly, she's a hundred times better than Qin Jing!" The female monsters glanced at Qin Jing as if she were an underdeveloped little apple. It turned out that their bad impression of humans was all because of Qin Jing.
Other humans aren't the most evil or wicked, but rather the most generous. If all humans in the human realm were like Gao Quan, then there wouldn't be any bad thing about living peacefully with them.
Even the group of monsters who believed in the White Tiger and the Fire Phoenix began to waver.
"Xiaojing? Is this really okay? Everyone seems to be distancing themselves from you." Wangzi said with some concern.
"No... this should be a good thing, right?" Qin Jing put down her book and looked at Wang Zi with a puzzled expression.
Wang Zi and Qin Jing looked at each other, and Wang Zi blinked in confusion.
"Isn't it a good thing that no monsters are bothering me while I'm reading?" Qin Jing asked curiously.
"Huh? I don't understand either." Wangzi's head seemed to be all confused.
Meanwhile, the smug Gao Quan began to plan his next move, which was to make Qin Jing's situation even worse!
Gao Quan recalled his recent observations and found that the one who clung to Qin Jing the most was the blue-haired girl. Despite being a monster, she possessed the temperament of a literary girl, and her blue hair was as pure and beautiful as the sea.
In short, the most uninhibited one should be the mermaid. I heard that mermaids change their personality once they fall in love.
That afternoon, the blue-haired girl walked past here, heading to the cooking class.
At that moment, a handsome man walked out of the corridor with a rose in his mouth. He winked at the girl and said, "I fell in love with you at first sight, Miss Lan Hua. Please go out with me."
The whale looked at the man strangely and asked in confusion, "Excuse me, who are you?"
"I'm Gao Quan, a human in the same class," the handsome man said awkwardly.
"Really? I'm actually face-blind. In my eyes, there are only two kinds of people: one is my favorite Xiaojing, and the other is two-legged creatures I have absolutely no interest in. So goodbye, no, please don't appear in front of me again. I'm afraid Xiaojing will misunderstand!" Whale put down these words, picked up her book, and quickly left, seemingly afraid that other guys would see her being confessed to by a man. Otherwise, all the goodwill she had built up for Xiaojing over the years would have been for nothing.
"..." Gao Quan was left standing there, completely stunned.
"Damn it, I heard mermaids are all stubborn, looks like it's true. Oh well, let's find another target." Gao Quan cursed as he walked to the other side.
While Wang Zi was doing extra training on the sports field in the afternoon, Gao Quan came up to her, called her over, and handed her a towel.
"Thank you, Gao Quan." Wang Zi took the towel and wiped the sweat from his face and neck, then smiled brightly at the handsome man.
"Wang Zi, I was actually planning to join a youth entertainment club made up of weirdos in our class. Every day we'd research fashion, watch the latest movies, eat delicious food, and try out the newest digital products. Don't you think that kind of life would be interesting?" Gao Quan said with a hearty laugh.
"Hmm, that sounds interesting," Wang Zi said with an innocent and carefree smile.
"Why don't you join in too?" Gao Quan asked with a smile. Seeing the girl's unguarded look, he thought to himself that choosing to target the seemingly most naive one at the beginning was the right decision. A simple, innocent girl like this is easy to win over with just a few kind words, without even spending any money.
"I'm not participating, you guys have fun," Wang Zi said with a smile, declining the offer.
"Huh? If you feel you can't balance club activities, you don't actually need to come every day. Just come and hang out with us whenever you have time," Gao Quan said, pausing for a moment before explaining.
"That's not how it is. I've actually been busy cultivating every day lately, so I haven't had much time to spend with my friends, and I haven't had any other time to play. Besides, the White Tiger Festival is coming up soon, and Gao Quan, you're a participant too, right? So don't just play around, cultivate a little more. Goodbye then!" Wang Zi said sincerely, waved, and ran away.
"Wait a minute..." Gao Quan exclaimed in surprise. With his experience, he simply couldn't understand how there could be such a person in this world who tirelessly strives for such an elusive goal.
"Goodbye, thank you for the towel, I'll buy you a new one." Wang Zi returned to the track and continued his interval training.
Watching the athletic girl's departing figure, Gao Quan's gaze turned cold, and a strange black aura emanated from his body. He stomped his feet on the ground, creating a deep pit in the sand.
"How dare you even attempt to spy on the White Tiger Sacrifice! You clueless fool, how dare you lecture me? My strength has already increased by leaps and bounds, I don't need to cultivate anymore. All I need to do is destroy Qin Jing to my heart's content."
Gao Quan recalled what happened in the grove on his first day at Penglai Academy.
"I'll give you power, and in return, you'll become a human that Qin Jing will envy. How about that?" the incredibly eerie and evil snake said to him, flicking its tongue.
Gao Quan angrily shook his hand and left.
Section 219, Chapter 35: Alice and Little Sebastian
Gao Quan obtained power from that demon-like black snake. His vast black demonic energy, while not comparable to a great demon like Hu Chi, was already quite similar to that of the other members of the White Tiger Army.
This was the first time he had ever felt such power, and after that, he made rapid progress in everything he did—in activities, sports competitions, and team training. If his former teachers, who hadn't believed in him, had seen this, they would have been utterly astonished.
It's a pity they're not here, but it doesn't matter. When he returns to the White Tiger Secret Realm, the first thing he'll do is slap them in the face!
As the price for gaining this power, he must make Qin Jing jealous within this month. Jealous? That's not enough! He must leave Qin Jing with a lifetime of trauma, making her live a painful life carrying his shadow.
He would be very troubled if he couldn't do that.
If Qin Jing is taken back to the White Tiger Secret Realm, wouldn't his unique status as a human be lost?
So let him prove it now: Gao Quan is a hundred times better than Qin Jing.
He's richer and more generous than Qin Jing! He's more popular than Qin Jing! He can jump higher and run faster than Qin Jing! His classmates have started comparing him to Qin Jing, and they all think he's better than Qin Jing.
But why? Why is Qin Jing still unmoved?
Gao Quan couldn't understand it, but he could only continue targeting Qin Jing's companions. If you don't care about other demons, what would happen if you saw your daily companions abandon you?
Gao Quan grinned maliciously and walked towards the library.
At this moment, the blonde girl was doing her homework. As a knight who was strict with herself, she studied here every day and previewed the content to be taught later.
Alice, a shrike spirit, is of noble birth and the daughter of a great general in the Americas. With long, golden curly hair, dignified manners, and beautiful appearance, she can be considered the most quintessential aristocratic beauty in the Western world, and her speech reveals that she has received a good education in etiquette.
If she were human, she could be considered his principal wife, someone he could take to any banquet without losing face.
Gao Quan straightened his clothes, revealing a handsome smile that he had acquired through professional etiquette training, and strode forward to greet him.
"Hello, Alice."
"..." Alice looked up at Gao Quan and nodded to him.
"I'm here to invite you to a club gathering organized by our classmates. We can use our free time to explore modern lifestyles, go shopping, see movies, eat at various restaurants, and conduct social surveys. I wonder if you'd be interested?"
"..." Alice glanced at Gao Quan and shook her head at him.
"Many girls have expressed their hope that you can join us." Gao Quan wouldn't give in easily. As a seasoned playboy with extensive experience in seduction, he knew that with certain types of girls, you wouldn't get results without shamelessly pursuing them and spending time. But as soon as they let go, he could break through in one fell swoop.
Moreover, once this type of girl has set her sights on you, she will be devoted to you and become completely obedient, and no one can persuade her otherwise.
"..." Alice frowned, put down her pen, stood up, grabbed Gao Quan's sleeve, and pulled him outside.
When Gao Quan was pulled back, he was secretly delighted. He hadn't expected the other party to give in so quickly before he could even say a few words. Now, if he made a few more attempts, maybe he could go to a hotel tonight and "catch fires."
Stepping outside the library, Alice yanked off Gao Quan's sleeve and said to him seriously, "Gao Quan! You need to understand that this is a library! It's a place for studying and reading, not for chatting!"
"I've already hinted to you twice to be quiet, but you didn't understand at all. So I have no choice but to take you outside to explain! If you can't follow the library's rules about keeping quiet, then please leave! Don't disturb the other students!"
"Furthermore, I must uphold the virtues of chivalry, integrity, and justice. What you call experiencing life is nothing more than extravagant and unrestrained pleasure. If it were the old me, I would have already lectured you!"
"But my companions have taught me that I have no right to demand that other yokai abide by my moral code. However, I am 100% opposed to your way of life, so please don't bother me anymore. Goodbye!"
After Alice finished speaking, she turned around and walked straight into the library.
"Huh?" Gao Quan stood there dumbfounded.
What kind of weirdos are these monsters? What are those hot-blooded athletic girls and this knight girl thinking? Instead of spending their money to enjoy themselves, are they going to donate it to benefit the whole world?
"Damn it, I didn't expect that the strange Qin Jing would be surrounded by such strange female monsters! Aren't there any normal guys with obvious fetishes and desires?"
Just then, he saw a blonde little girl with her hair sticking up in a cowlick walking along the path outside the library. Although she was still very small and her expression was a bit stiff, judging from her appearance, she would definitely be a stunning beauty when she grew up.
She doesn't talk much usually and always follows Qin Jing around, but she seems to really enjoy eating.
Gao Quan walked up and greeted him with a smile, "Classmate Seba."
The girl stopped when she heard someone calling her, turned around and asked, "Is there something you need?"
"Hey, I actually wanted to go to Panda Restaurant for dinner, but it's too lonely to go alone, so I thought I'd invite you to have dinner with me. You can eat whatever you want, it's on me," Gao Quan said with a smile.
"Eat whatever you want! Really?!" Seba asked, his eyes sparkling when he heard the news.
"Oh yeah, eat whatever you want, it's on me!" Gao Quan laughed inwardly, finally someone had taken the bait.
"Okay. I'll make a call first." Seba nodded, took out his phone, and dialed the number.
"Hey, Jing, I'm not going to the club today. Um... I'll probably be back a little later. Of course! I love your cooking the most, Jing. Okay, bye."
'Later? No, now that you've agreed to come with me, I have hundreds of reasons to make sure you can't go back.' Gao Quan thought to himself with a smirk.
“Then let’s go,” Seba said to Gao Quan after putting down his phone.
"Okay, let's take a taxi there," Gao Quan agreed with a smile.
Gao Quan walked out of the school and hailed a taxi. He gentlemanly opened the car door, let Seba get in, and then got into the other car, instructing, "To Panda Restaurant."
"Beep beep!" the taxi monster honked in response and sped off toward the restaurant.
Section 220, Chapter 36: The restaurant is going to be eaten into bankruptcy.
At this moment, only Qin Jing and Jing are in the cooking classroom, sitting there reading books. There are no monsters coming to ask for anything, and they don't have to make desserts for Seba, so they are really free.
The whale asked curiously, "What happened to Seba?"
Qin Jing said with a smile, "She said she wouldn't be coming this afternoon because someone invited her to have dim sum at Panda Restaurant. I asked her if she would be back for dinner, and she said yes, so I just let her be. She'll definitely be back around dinner time anyway."
“Yes, that’s right,” Whale said with a relieved smile.
“But now, I’ll have to go with you to buy the ingredients,” Qin Jing said.
"There's nothing wrong with it. In fact, going shopping with Xiaojing is the most enjoyable reward," Whale said, turning the pages of his book.
"Is that so..." Qin Jing didn't think it was anything special.
After that, when Qin Jing returned to the dormitory and was preparing dinner with Jing, she received a message from Crocodile Manager: "The hotel's stored food is all gone!" The attached image was a photo of an empty warehouse.
"Wow, although it seems a bit wrong to bully fellow countrymen like this, business is business." Qin Jing's phone was connected to the internet, and she was looking at the restaurant's ever-increasing daily sales figures. Gao Quan was practically a god of wealth; since he came to Penglai Academy, the sales of Qin Jing's stores had skyrocketed. This way of making money couldn't be more enjoyable.
Furthermore, humans don't have moral standards, so why should they necessarily prefer humans to monsters?
There are countless examples of people who prefer cats, dogs, or anime characters to other human beings.
With this in mind, Qin Jing was more inclined to abide by the business laws set by the Nine-Tailed Fox. Since the other party was willing to pay, why shouldn't he?
An hour earlier, Gao Quan was slumped in a private room at the Panda Restaurant, where several round tables with ten seats each were piled high with empty plates, like seven or eight small mountains.
Gao Quan, on the other hand, felt as if he were being crushed by these mountains.
"What's going on?" Gao Quan stared blankly at Xiao Seba's petite figure and her flat stomach, but her mouth never stopped, and the empty plates around her kept increasing. Before long, a new pile of small mountains would be completed.
Gao Quan is no longer thinking about how to scheme against the girl; he's worried that she might eat too fast and accidentally swallow him whole.
At this moment, the door to the private room opened again, and the person who walked in was not a dishwasher carrying empty plates, nor a waiter serving food, but the Crocodile Manager in a suit and tie.
"Young Master Gao Quan, the kitchen is already overwhelmed with these plates. Could you perhaps settle part of the bill for the meal first?" Crocodile said to Gao Quan, bowing slightly and rubbing his hands together.
"Yeah, that's true." Gao Quan saw the Crocodile Manager like this, after all, the other party had always given him face, and this situation was indeed surprising, so he handed over the black card.
"Thank you so much for your understanding." The crocodile manager bowed in gratitude, then took out the machine and swiped the black card.
After that, the crocodile manager came forward and said respectfully to Seba, "Lord Seba, all the ingredients in the storage vault and the frozen meat in the cold storage are gone. I'm very sorry, but there is no more food available."
"Hmm... I see..." Seba said with some disappointment, as if he hadn't had enough to eat yet.
"I'm so sorry!" Manager Crocodile said, wiping away cold sweat and bowing deeply.
Seba checked the time and said, "Ah! It's almost seven o'clock. This is the first time I've ever eaten for so long. Gao Quan, you're such a kind person. Well then, I have to go back for dinner. Goodbye."
"Oh...oh." Gao Quan sat there blankly, not knowing what to say.
