348 Kind Reminder
When the waiter put down the wine, he accidentally spilled some of it. The waiter quickly took the handkerchief on his shoulder and began to wipe it.
The waiter said, “Little Fairy, please forgive me. I didn’t hold it properly. Be careful when you drink it. This turbid wine will stain your clothes if you spill it.”
When the waiter said to be careful, his tone became a little more serious.
Dong Xi glanced at the waiter. Dong Xi waved her hand and said, “It’s fine. You didn’t spill too much. Go do your work.”
Dong Xi knew that this was the waiter’s kind reminder to Dong Xi to be careful with these men, and do not simply get involved with them.
When the person opposite saw Dong Xi order the turbid wine, he said in disdain, “How can you drink this cheap wine? Waiter, bring my sister some Green Bamboo Wine and put it on my tab.”
The waiter had already said what he needed to say. The business still had to continue. If he offended the Boss for a little child, the waiter would not have a good life. The waiter immediately said, “Alright, please wait a moment.”
The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier. The rainwater flowed along the eaves and formed a curtain of water.
At this moment, thunder sounded outside.
The people who were drinking in the room put down their dice. The two people in front of Dong Xi stood up and said, “Okay, Little Sister. Let’s go and see Boss now.”
Dong Xi frowned and said unwillingly, “I haven’t finished drinking this wine.”
Dong Xi just wanted to hide from the rain. Now that it was raining so heavily, why would she go out and get wet? Dong Xi was not stupid!
“The demon beasts are besieging the city. The City Lord has ordered everyone in the city to contribute,” the burly man immediately said.
The waiter walked over with the Green Bamboo Wine. Hearing the brawny man’s words, the waiter said, “Women and children can choose not to go. Immortals, why don’t you let Little Fairy wait in the tavern?”
“That’s right. Big brothers, I’ll wait for you here. My cultivation is too low. If I go, you’ll have to worry about protecting me.” Dong Xi nodded.
The few burly men thought that it was true. It was not easy to fool the people in the city now. Now that one finally came, if she were to be killed by the demon beasts, the loss would be too great.
“Alright, you wait here. Fifth Brother, you stay here with Little Sister,” said the burly man.
When the Fifth Brother heard this, he immediately took a step back and widened his eyes. Fifth Brother said, “Why can’t you stay? Once the patrol team finds out, I’ll be whipped!”
Everyone looked at each other. They had all kinds of reasons to leave. No one was willing to stay here.
Dong Xi immediately said, “Big Brothers, you don’t need to accompany me. It’s raining so heavily. I can’t leave. I’ll wait for you here.”
She watched as all these guys put up protective barriers and walked into the rain.
After everyone left, the waiter sighed and said, “As expected, newcomers will be targeted.”
When Dong Xi heard this, she asked curiously, “Big Brother, why do you say that? Wouldn’t it be better for a newcomer to join them than to be alone?”
“Those people didn’t ask you to join them. They have other plans.” The waiter shook his head.
“What plan?” asked Dong Xi doubtfully.
The waiter shut his mouth. That word was forbidden. The owner had set up a restriction on his body. The waiter only had mixed spirit roots and his cultivation was only at the 2nd level of the Qi Refinement stage. If he said it, he would probably turn into ashes without any resistance.
Dong Xi saw that the waiter was unwilling to say anything, so she circulated her cultivation technique to test it out. Then, she took out a pen and paper and began to calculate.
“Big Brother, do you know what cultivation level the Boss of these people has?” Dong Xi asked after calculating.
“The Boss is known as the ‘Lone Wolf’,” said the waiter. “He’s a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. As for whether he has a stronger backer, I don’t know.”
Dong Xi heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that it was the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment stage.
According to Dong Xi’s current Qi Refinement Stage, she could still escape if she could not defeat a midle-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. As for his backing, it was impossible for them to guard Lone Wolf and the others every day.
Dong Xi waved his hand and took out a spirit fruit to give to the waiter. Dong Xi said, “Big Brother, this is the Dazzling Fruit. I picked it on the way here. I don’t have anything to give you. Take this as my gratitude.”
This spirit fruit was picked in the Frog Space previously. A second-grade spirit fruit was nothing to her. She had plenty of them.
Of course, for a waiter at the 2nd level of Qi Refinement stage, this was a rare treasure.
Whether it was exchanged for spirit stones or eaten by the waiter, it was very good. It could completely support the waiter to the 3rd level of Qi Refinement stage.
The waiter advised Dong Xi to leave quickly. Dong Xi shook her head and said, “It’s raining heavily outside, and I have nowhere to go. If they want to find me, no matter where I hide, these people will find me.”
