#155 - We are so generous!
Why did Xu Chengxian say "again"?
Because this wasn't the first time he'd come to Black Flood Dragon to build rapport.

Of course, you could also say he was proactively trying to resolve conflicts.
However, he subtly mixed in a bit of another purpose.
… …
Two and a half months ago.
Some of the great demons were already preparing to leave.
Xu Chengxian appeared outside the courtyard where Hong Lie and Black Flood Dragon lived.
[Yes, Host.]
"Settle the series of tasks and issue the rewards."
He knocked on the door ring with his snake tail while calling out to the system in his mind.
He settled all the rewards that he had deliberately requested to be delayed.
[Okay.]
After the response, there was a series of good news.
[Congratulations, Host, for defeating four opponents in the martial arts contest!]
[You have received a total of: Refinement Points * 32, Flesh Sprouts * 4!]
[Congratulations, Host, for completing the series of tasks to defeat the competitors and seize the Flood Dragon Essence Blood!]
[You have received an additional reward: Refinement Points * 12.]
[The total reward for all tasks is Refinement Points * 44, Flesh Sprouts * 4.]
[After deducting the previously issued portion, do you want to receive all the remaining rewards now, Host?]
"Receive."
[Ding-dong!]
[Please note, Host!]
[The Flesh Sprouts have been delivered to your stomach.]
[The remaining Refinement Points will be issued soon.]
[The Refinement Points exceeding the retainable amount will be used to directly refine blood essence, improving the Host's physique and Divine Soul realm.]
[Based on the Host's current situation, it can be tolerated.]
[Do you want to start now?]
"Wait! Issue the Refinement Points after I fight with Black Flood Dragon."
[Okay, Host.]
… …
That day, Xu Chengxian told Black Flood Dragon and Hong Lie to not leave for the time being.
Regarding the reason, he said:
"My family's Yunzi wants to concoct pills. The pills he makes are very good. Don't you plan to buy some?"
Then, he had a big fight with the not-so-willing Black Flood Dragon.
The two of them unleashed a great battle in the secret arena of the Marquis's mansion.
When they came out again.
Black Flood Dragon's face was dark, and he no longer mentioned leaving.
However, regarding whether to buy the pills, he would wait until the pills were made to see.
Xu Chengxian, having achieved his wish, didn't bother with this.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of the battle, he concealed the surge of blood essence caused by the system refining blood essence to improve the Divine Soul and physical realm with Refinement Points.
Sure enough, Black Flood Dragon and Hong Lie didn't notice the abnormality on his body.
Even if Black Flood Dragon sensed the violent fluctuation of his blood essence during the battle, he would only think it was because he was using combat skills.
However, to be cautious, Xu Chengxian still resisted the temptation and didn't use up all the Refinement Points at once.
After all, being in the Demon Marquis's mansion, he still had to be careful.
A sudden, unprovoked increase in cultivation would inevitably attract attention.
Like this, being seen to have a change in cultivation after a great battle with Black Flood Dragon would be much more natural.
Xu Chengxian didn't mind having another—a person… demon who could rapidly become stronger in battle.
With the simple idea that familiarity breeds contempt, and he would have to come again next time, he gave him face.
He didn't make things difficult for Black Flood Dragon, insisting that he agree.
So, when Ling Yunzi concocted a batch of Spirit Replenishing Pills with excellent quality due to the addition of Flood Dragon Essence Blood.
He naturally took the remaining two pills after everyone had been distributed their share and appeared outside the courtyard again.
He also used up the remaining 20 points.
The Refinement Points in hand had to be used up as soon as possible.
There was no point in saving them.
This was Xu Chengxian's consistent principle.
As for whether Black Flood Dragon was depressed about facing him, who was getting stronger with each battle, he didn't care.
He would still have to come when he needed to.
Even without covering up blood essence fluctuations, there were still other things to do.
… …
Just like now.
He knocked on the door ring, bang, bang, bang.
Shouting inside: "Brother Black Flood Dragon, I'm here to play with you again!"
"Damn Flower Snake!"
"Why is he here again!"
Black Flood Dragon was disturbed and came out of the room.
He complained to Hong Lie, who had also been called out.
The sound was so loud that Xu Chengxian outside the door certainly heard it clearly.
But he didn't care, and instead shouted loudly: "Brother Black Flood Dragon, it seems like you're not welcoming me?"
"Look, I knew it, the knot between us hasn't been completely untied. That's why I came here, isn't that right?"
"… …" Black Flood Dragon was choked.
He could never match Xu Chengxian's verbal skills.
More importantly, there were some words he couldn't bring himself to say!
In this war of words, if you can't let go, how can you win?
"Great King Xu, if you come again, I think this knot of yours will never be untied." Hong Lie opened the courtyard door with a hearty laugh.
It could be considered giving both of them a way out.
This wasn't the first time he had done this.
He was already familiar with the routine.
Opening the door, seeing a bipedal, grotesque big snake with arms and legs, he didn't change his expression.
He made a gesture of invitation and said:
"Great King Xu, please come in quickly."
"Easy, easy." Xu Chengxian stepped in, swaggering inside.
"I say, Xu Chengxian, do you have to be in this weird form?" Black Flood Dragon looked at him, his eyelids twitching.
The appearance of the Flower Snake at this time couldn't be considered good-looking.
Moreover, it looked very awkward.
But he himself didn't think so, strolling around quite comfortably.
He had to admit, this guy's state of mind was indeed extraordinary.
"What's wrong?" Xu Chengxian was welcomed in, put his hands behind his back, and said, "Four-legged snake, haven't you seen one before?"
"… … I'm too lazy to say more to you." Black Flood Dragon suddenly thought that he couldn't continue this conversation.
He now vaguely felt that the biggest possibility for Xu Chengxian to always show himself in his original form was because he hadn't transformed.
But the other party had won the top spot in the Bishui Demon Marquis's son-in-law selection contest.
If he were the Bishui Marquis, he definitely wouldn't want this matter to be widely known.
Now that he was inside the Marquis's mansion, it was best to pretend to be ignorant.
Pointing it out would be annoying.
At this time, Hong Lie waved his hand, placed tea on the table in the courtyard, and invited the two to sit down.
"Hehe! Old Hong, you're the one who understands etiquette." Xu Chengxian sat down grandly, crossed his legs, took a sip of tea, and said, "Unlike Little Black, I'm here at his place, and he doesn't even offer a plate of snacks."
"… … You have the nerve to say that! The snacks I brought home are almost all eaten by you!" Black Flood Dragon reluctantly said, still taking out a few plates of fruit pastries from his storage bag and placing them on the table.
"That's more like it!" Xu Chengxian immediately reached out, grabbed a piece, and ate it.
While eating, he even asked Hong Lie to eat too.
"Eat, Old Hong, don't be polite. Little Black is very generous. Try this, this one tastes really good, sour and sweet."
"Haha! I don't need Brother Xu to ask me, I'm going to eat too." Hong Lie then took a Nai fruit and said, "When such spiritual items are in front of you, how can you not eat them?"
"That's right, that's right!"
Even if you have a storage bag, it's impossible to put everything in it.
So these things that Black Flood Dragon took out, whether it was spiritual fruit or pastries, were all filled with spiritual energy, rare and good things.
Anyway, eating it was earning it.
"Brother Flood Dragon, you eat too!" Xu Chengxian didn't forget to greet Black Flood Dragon.
We're not the kind of snakes that don't know etiquette.
How can we eat ourselves and let the host just watch, right?
Look, he even changed Little Black's name to Brother Flood Dragon.
We're just that generous!
