539 Bring Her to See the World
“It’d be great if there were many Flaming Antelopes!” Yan Jin muttered to himself as he rubbed his stomach.
“You dreaming?” Yan Nuo rolled his eyes at him.
Catching Flaming Antelopes was challenging. They were not only fire-types but also agility-types.
Besides, there were not many of them near their camp. If they wanted to capture them for food, they had to wait for opportunities or travel further away.
However, that was soone else’s territory. They could not go there just because they wanted to. Their master could only bring a few people there during annual etings.
“Master, the Beast Affinity eting will comnce in a month, right? Are you going there then?”
Before Qian Jiyun could reply, An Jiuyue asked, “Beast Affinity eting? What Beast Affinity eting?”
“Beast Affinity eting” sounded like the Cowherd and the Weaving Maid eting on a bridge of magpies1. They were killing demonic beasts, not dating them.
However, there was no need to guess to figure it out. The chiefs would et to review how many demonic beasts they had killed this year and discuss how they planned to do so next year.
It was basically a year-end review eting.
“Huayan Peak selects a place to hold the Beast Affinity eting each year. The purpose of the eting is to decide where the guardians under the various lords will be stationed next year.”
Qian Jiyun replied as he cut the Flaming Antelope into pieces and handed them to her.
“This year’s eting will be held in the east. It’s quite far away, and the journey will take 15 days. The people there are better at Original Soul Cultivation Techniques than we are.
“However, the lords rarely attend in person. They’ll send only a few people to make up the numbers,” he explained.
“Oh, I see.” An Jiuyue nodded.
Huayan Peak was not all that peaceful. They had to deal not only with demonic beasts but also with people’s hearts.
The east was far away, and it was challenging to understand the motives of the people there. Hence, the lords in this area would not attend in person. Who knew what would happen if they went?
“So you won’t go either, right?” she asked.
“Yan Jin can go this year,” Qian Jiyun said.
While still eating delicious food, everyone turned to look at their master in unison.
He made it sound like he attended every year. Previously, he would send a few people at random to get it over with. He was reluctant to even send Yan Jin.
This was the norm. Everyone knew that.
“Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law is here today. Are you sure you won’t bring her to see the world?”
Gong Cheng had just apologized but was reverting to his old ways again. His mouth began to itch again when he saw An Jiuyue being praised for her good cooking.
“Second Sister-in-law, you might not know this, but the Beast Affinity eting is very lively. It’s not like what Second Brother said. It’s not just going for a eting and coming back. There are too many things we can do.
“In the past, many lords would bring their won to the Beast Affinity eting to show off. Those won wore gold and silver and were very imposing. Only my second brother did not bring even a single strand of hair.
“Even if you don’t want to do this for yourself, you have to go and do sothing for Second Brother, right?
“You’re so good-looking. You can defeat those won by dressing up casually. Let’s see who still dares to look down on my second brother in the future. He’d have so much respect.”
