Chapter 22 What is Contrast? 1 Years Later
"Your Holiness, please help me!" Qin Xu said sincerely.
Bibi Dong hesitated for a moment.
Because the food was delicious, she was in a rare good mood.
But the current situation is a bit complicated.
It's like the other person telling a not-so-funny joke in a very serious tone.
But you're not sure if the other person is telling a joke.
If the other person is genuinely telling a joke, it's polite to laugh along.
It would be impolite to laugh if the other person didn't tell a joke.
Bibi Dong ultimately did not laugh.
"There are quite a few Soul Masters in the Spirit Hall, but high-level Soul Masters still prefer to eat the meat of high-level Soul Beasts..." Bibi Dong said tactfully.
She didn't know much about pig farming, but she had never heard of anyone in Douluo Continent who made their fortune by raising pigs.
"No, I mean I want to find your Spirit Hall to play GG and be their spokesperson," Qin Xu said.
"GG? Endorsement?"
"This is my business plan, and also a term I coined. 'GG' stands for 'to advertise widely,' and 'endorsement' means..."
Qin Xu paused for a moment, then said, "For example, I'll have someone draw a sign for you, with your praise of how delicious pork is, and then hang the sign in every Spirit Hall to promote it. We'll pay you..."
Of course, that happened much later. I was just using an example.
Qin Xu quickly mentioned it; he was just being a little cheeky, and he was sure Bibi Dong could tell he was joking.
Moreover, the same sentence can be said differently by different people, and there is a key point to this.
Some might ask, does that mean we need to be mindful of the occasion?
of course not.
It's actually modeling.
"Don't get too cocky."
Bibi Dong looked speechless, but she wasn't angry. She frankly said, "However, what you're saying is something I really can't do. Because my control over the local Spirit Halls is quite limited."
Upon hearing this, Qin Xu's sincerity began to waver.
Your Majesty Hakidon, you're a bit of a waste.
You should really reflect on your actions!
Why are you so self-righteous?
"Internal factional conflicts within the Spirit Hall?" Qin Xu muttered.
"Just take it as that."
Bibi Dong thought of Qian Renxue and suddenly asked with great interest, "If there are internal conflicts within the Spirit Hall, will you help me?"
"I'll be the first to run."
When Qin Xu said "I will," Bibi Dong looked incredulous. After Qin Xu finished speaking, she paused before saying, "Remember what you said."
"Do you think people can have two faces?" Bibi Dong suddenly asked.
"Two faces, you mean contrast?" Qin Xu asked, suddenly intrigued.
"Contrast refers to..."
"For example, there is a woman who is dignified and solemn in public, but kills people without hesitation, and likes to call her lover 'Dad' in private."
Hearing Qin Xu's words, Bibi Dong felt a surge of inexplicable warmth in her heart. She glared at Qin Xu angrily and said sternly, "You rogue. I never imagined there would be such a person."
Qin Xu said, "There are no truly aloof people in this world, only people who are aloof towards you. Your Majesty is still too naive. Did Your Majesty not have guards when you were weak? Weren't those guards extremely respectful to Your Majesty? But what was their attitude towards commoners or ordinary people?"
Bibi Dong snorted. Of course she knew that some people were two-faced, but she couldn't imagine that person was Yu Xiaogang.
"Are you planning to go see Master Yu again later?" Qin Xu asked casually.
"Uh..." Bibi Dong hesitated for a moment.
She wanted to sneak a peek and try to change the impression Yu Xiaogang had of her.
But when Qin Xu said it, she felt ashamed.
"Actually, you don't need to. If you stay here all day, you'll probably see him in no time."
"What do you mean?" Bibi Dong asked immediately. She didn't think Qin Xu and Yu Xiaogang had any good relationship at all, visiting each other's homes?
impossible!
"That person has always wanted to know which spirit beast my disciple chose for his first spirit ring. The day before yesterday, he even came to me and said that if I told him and helped him refine his theory, he would forgive me for the past offenses," Qin Xu said helplessly.
"He also said I was lucky to help him refine his theories, making a significant contribution to advancing the theory of martial spirits in the world of soul masters..."
"You did this on purpose..." Bibi Dong recalled Qin Xu's words that she shouldn't tell anyone.
But before she could finish speaking, she realized something was wrong.
The logic doesn't seem to hold water.
Qin Xu had no need to waste so much effort on ruining Yu Xiaogang's image in her mind.
It can't be that he's interested in her... right?
Would he have this thought?
"snort."
Bibi Dong said nothing this time, and with a flash, she disappeared from the spot.
A moment later, she reappeared in front of Qin Xu, raised her head, and expressionlessly activated the automatic pickup function, putting the 'pre-made dishes' that Qin Xu had promised to prepare for her into her storage bracelet.
Only after walking away did her expression become somewhat unnatural due to shame.
"Simmer it in a porcelain pot for an hour until the rice grains have opened up," Qin Xu said casually, calling out to Bibi Dong's retreating figure.
"Um."
The sound reached Qin Xu's ears.
After a while.
There was an extra "thank you".
Looking around Qin Xu, he didn't see Bibi Dong anywhere.
But he saw a crimson cloud of destiny at the eaves, and he knew that Bibi Dong must not have gone far. She was obviously verifying what he had said.
Hajidon, what a dark place!
If you don't believe it, just pretend you didn't hear it. But secretly wonder what's going on with him.
Qin Xu pursed his lips, not really caring.
"The Crimson Fate has far more good fortune than Tang San," Qin Xu pondered as he used his Fortune Observation Technique.
He suspected that the good fortune a Soul Master could bear might also be related to their own strength.
He believed that Tang San's gray-gold destiny was no worse than his crimson destiny. However, the difference in the amount of good fortune between the two was significant.

"Qin Xu, come out. This master has something to say to you."
"come out!"
"Come out quickly!"
"..."
The next morning, Yu Xiaogang came to the door again, but Qin Xu refused to see him.
Since Bibi Dong cares so much about Yu Xiaogang, he won't provoke her casually; he'll just ignore her.
Just before leaving, he used the "Observation of Fortune" technique on God King Tang San and Yu Xiaogang.
The result startled Qin Xu.
Qin Xu's eyes widened almost instantly.
The God King Sugar Three is a brilliant golden destiny, carrying 5 points of good fortune.
Yu Xiaogang also has a light gold destiny. Although the color is much darker than that of God King Tang San, he is still a person with abundant fortune and carries 3 points of good luck.
These two people, with mediocre strength, both possess extraordinary luck.
Unfortunately, one of them had Bibi Dong standing behind him, and the other had Haotian Douluo behind him.
Even though both of them harbored ill intentions towards him, and Yu Xiaogang was pestering him like a persistent leech, he couldn't easily deal with them and could only temporarily avoid confrontation.
Otherwise, he would like to see if he could harvest their luck just like he did with Tang San when their emotions fluctuated drastically.
After the two left, Qin Xu discovered that Bibi Dong had also left silently.
I wonder if any small pearls will fall off.
Qin Xu thought with a touch of wicked humor.
But his life began to get back on track.

Time passed day by day.
A year and a half has passed in the blink of an eye.
Nottingham.
The butler, dressed in black leather shoes and with his hair and body meticulously groomed, showed a hint of excitement on his face.
With the height of summer approaching, the master gave him another large red envelope. It was supposedly a summer heat subsidy/bonus... anyway, it contained ten thousand gold soul coins.
Previously, Blackie would definitely not have wanted it; money shouldn't be wasted like this.
But the Qin Ruins were incredibly wealthy.
Thinking of his master, Uncle Hei's wrinkled face was full of loyalty.
A year ago, he could never have imagined that the meat processing plant could be so successful.
Today, more than 70% of the villagers in the villages around Nottingham have joined their own meat processing plants, which shows just how large the meat processing plants are now.
Monthly sales outside the city exceed 300,000 gold soul coins.
Over the course of a year, that amounted to millions of gold soul coins.
In the past, some of his friends called him Blackie, or even Little Blackie.
Now, everyone in Nottingham City, and even half of the province of Fasnor, calls him "Blackie"!
Today, the Qin Mansion in Notting City is many times more magnificent than the city lord's residence.
As the richest man in Nottingham, his small courtyard alone occupies several acres, with the ground covered with exotic flowers and plants, making it easy to see people.
The main living room is completely different from the surrounding area.
The ceiling between the first and third floors was completely removed, and a huge chandelier hung down from the ceiling, illuminating the entire hall.
At the door, two servants squatted on either side of the stone lions outside. Seeing Uncle Hei enter, they quickly stepped forward. The burly man on the left whispered:
"Master Hei, Tang San really wants to buy whale glue, he seems very eager. He wants to sell us his hidden weapons, and as you instructed, I found six accomplices to negotiate a lower price, so that his hidden weapons are only enough to buy a piece of century-old whale glue."
The maid explained in detail.
"Hmm, have you figured out why he bought whale glue?" Blackie asked.
"They said it was for male enhancement. At first, I thought it was prepared for his teacher, but it doesn't look like that. It seems like he took it himself in the blacksmith's workshop," the maid said.
Uncle Hei nodded, preparing to report these things to the master.
at this time.
Inside the basement.
Before the Qin Ruins lay the corpse of a giant dragon covered in black scales.
This is the corpse of a ten-thousand-year-old, ferocious dragon, brimming with powerful blood and energy.
The meat of the ancient, bloodthirsty dragon is extremely valuable in the market because of its firm texture, rich fat, abundant blood and qi, and aphrodisiac effects, making it a favorite among many important figures.
If sold on the market, the corpse of this soul beast would easily fetch three thousand gold soul coins, but Qin Xu consumes one almost every week.
Such expenses are beyond the reach of others and could even bankrupt a Soul Saint family.
However, for Qin Xu, this was only a small part of his cultivation, and not even the most energy-consuming part.
At this moment, Qin Xu took a deep breath and exhaled white mist like a small dragon from his nostrils. This was a strange breathing method.
As he released his martial spirit, he unleashed his third primal skill.
Blood-red patterns appeared in the void, and the space seemed to have some kind of suction force.
Streams of crimson blood energy surged from the wounds on the dragon's corpse, drilling into the crimson patterns. The patterns rapidly refined the blood energy, transforming it into streams of essence that flowed into Qin Xu's body.
Qin Xu's bones and muscles crackled like popping beans, the sound deep and powerful. Accompanied by the unique rhythm of his breathing, he seemed to have returned to the womb, reborn from the ashes, his physical body constantly growing stronger.
This is his third original skill, "Bloodlust Domain".
That's right, this is a domain-type soul skill.
It was also the powerful soul skill he obtained after accumulating enough luck points to enhance his third soul skill.
Within the area, as long as the enemy is injured, they will continuously lose health and mana.
This blood and qi will be rapidly refined into essence within the domain's rules, which is known as "refining blood into qi".
