I am a mage and a wet nurse, so using seven swords is not too much, right?

Chapter 1296 I think it might still be Ning Ruan.

Lei Zhen: "..."

"Young Fellow Daoist Ning is too kind."

He could only send a silent message through his throat.

Hands-on?

He certainly has the courage to do so.

Who would be willing to gamble with their life?

Ningruan didn't dwell on this topic.

He took out a spirit fruit from his storage ring, took a bite, and then asked, "Where are my two cooks?"

Lei Zhen: "..."

"Still in Phoenix City."

"However, if Fellow Daoist Ning needs them, I can have them come back immediately."

Ning Ruan nodded in satisfaction: "Then let them come back."

"I also need to continue developing my milk tea recipe; this is very important."

Lei Zhen: "...Okay."

Ning Ruan also had lunch at Zuixianfang.

We had a disagreement just yesterday.

Even though he brought the elders of the Fengli Clan with him today, the Drunken Immortal Pavilion acted as if nothing had happened yesterday.

Their attitude towards her was even better than it was yesterday.

"The city lord has instructed that if any guests come for lunch, all expenses should be charged to the city lord's account."

"Are you sure you want to put it on the City Lord's account?"

"..."

The manager of Zuixianfang glanced at the leftover food on the table. There wasn't much left, but that wasn't the point.

The key point is that almost every dish here is the most expensive dish at Zuixianfang.

Ning Ruan didn't just order a few of these expensive dishes.

She ordered everything.

This isn't directed at anyone in particular, because Ningruan did the same thing yesterday.

The manager wanted to accuse her of targeting him, but couldn't find any reason to argue against it.

It can only be said that the city lord may have underestimated Ningruan's spending power.

“Since the city lord personally gave the order, it can naturally be remembered.”

"Okay, then I'll write it down."

Ning waved her hand dismissively.

She's willing to let others pay for her if they want to.

Steward: "..."

After leaving Ning Ruan's room.

His first action was to report the situation here to the city lord.

as predicted.

After hearing the amount spent by Ningruan.

Even a powerful city lord remained silent for a long while before saying, "Fine, I've already spoken, so there's no reason to go back on my word. Consider this meal my personal treat for her."

After retracting the communication talisman, the city lord embraced the extremely beautiful woman in his arms and sighed, "Everyone says Ning Ruan is generous, and she truly is."

"Not only did I have a good place to stay, but I also didn't skimp on the food."

"How much do you think the human race has given her?"

“I’m curious too.” The nine-tailed female cultivator swayed her fox tail behind her, leaning against the city lord’s chest, her fingers lightly twirling the black hair that fell to her chest. “But with Ning Ruan’s talent, the human race will certainly not mistreat her.”

"Not treated unfairly?" The city lord sneered. "It's more than just not treated unfairly. Ning Ruan probably still has a celestial artifact on her right now."

The nine-tailed female cultivator slowly raised her eyes, her alluring gaze sparkling with captivating light. "How could this be? That incident happened so long ago, how could she still be carrying a celestial artifact?"

"Wasn't it said that what happened back then was just the human race using her to give other races a warning?"

The city lord raised his hand and gently pinched her cheek. "Who knows? The human race has always been mysterious, both then and now. Ning Ruan... is even stranger."

"What you said makes me want to see him even more."

"It's alright, we can meet tonight, won't we?"

"Are you sure she'll come, sir?"

"Of course, how could she possibly miss the Azure Sea Tide Feast?"

That was the food she had been longing for!

The city lord gritted his teeth at the thought of this; the dragon essence he had carefully selected was not as good as a meal.

So angry!

But what angered him even more was that good-for-nothing Jiao Yuan.

Even though he knew Ning Ruan didn't like him, he wasn't angry at all; in fact, he thought it was perfectly reasonable.

Now he's even gone to learn cooking.

……

Night falls.

The once solemn and imposing Jiaocheng City Lord's Mansion was now adorned with hundreds of fist-sized pearls suspended in the air, emitting a soft yet bright glow that enveloped the entire mansion.

Beneath the pearl, a phantom of a dragon formed from condensed spiritual light coiled and swam, exuding extraordinary power.

Streaks of light streaked across the night sky from all parts of the city, eventually landing outside the city lord's mansion.

Those who came were all renowned young talents in the Eternal Domain.

Some reside in the eternal realm.

Some people also travel here temporarily.

They rode magnificent beasts or trod on strange magical artifacts, each exuding a restrained aura and radiant spirit.

Except for them.

Further away, divine senses were also observing the situation.

This was agreed upon by the City Lord's Mansion.

In the words of Long Jun, the city lord of Jiaocheng, "If I host such a grand banquet and no one sees it, wouldn't all my efforts have been wasted?"

Therefore, even though they knew that many cultivators in the Eternal Domain were paying attention to the situation here, no one in the City Lord's Mansion cared about it.

In order not to affect their observation, they even secretly removed the spiritual artifact that could block divine sense.

I just want you to see it.

"Was that Chi Ling of the Flame Sparrow Clan just now? I never expected her to be in the Eternal Domain."

“It must be her. Although I have never met Chi Ling, the mount beside her is a Crimson Feathered Eagle with the bloodline of an ancient fire phoenix. I am sure I can’t be wrong about that. Only Chi Ling has this.”

"The barbarian tribe's Manshan has also arrived..."

"It's not just the Barbarian Mountains; several members of the ten major races have also come this time."

"..."

There's a lot of talk about it outside.

Inside the city lord's mansion, undercurrents were also swirling.

The dozens of outstanding individuals who had already arrived were either in small groups or exchanging pleasantries with each other.

Or perhaps he stands alone to the side, closing his eyes to rest.

Some cultivators also scanned the crowd with their eyes, their gazes flashing with provocation, clearly looking for opponents to fight.

"Why was the Azure Sea Tide Banquet held so suddenly this year? In previous years, the entire region was notified at least a month in advance. Why was it announced yesterday?"

"Is there even a question? It's obviously for that person."

One of the prodigies sneered and pointed towards the direction of Yunxi Terrace in Jiaocheng.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately understood.

Someone asked in a deep voice, "So, the one who rented the Cloud Pavilion in Jiao City is also a young cultivator?"

"Jiaocheng Yunxi Terrace? No, no, no. Jiaocheng is one thing, but the other nine cities were activated at almost the same time. What a coincidence! This is enough to show that the person who rented the Yunxi Terrace in all ten cities is probably the same person, or rather, the same group of people."

"...Renting Yunqi Terrace in ten cities at the same time? This...this move sounds so familiar?"

"Nonsense, how could it not sound familiar? The last one to do this was Ning Ruan."

"Ning Ruan? You mean..."

"Yes, I think Ningruan will probably be the one to rent the Yunqi Terrace in ten cities again this time!"
