Chapter 302: Chapter 299: Poor Does Not Mean Cheap_1

Fenghua Youyu arched her willow brows and said indifferently, "What is everyone scared of? Scared that Fenghua Tower will fall and you’ll have nothing to eat? Didn’t the Crown Prince say it? This rabbit will only stay here for seven days! Seven days! Even if he devours Fenghua Tower, so what? The entire East Sea belongs to the Third Prince. The East Sea is vast and rich in resources; are we worried we can’t rebuild another Fenghua Tower?"

Hearing this, the crowd’s expressions improved somewhat, and the anxiety they had been holding onto dissipated.

A female of the Baiyue Fish clan bowed gracefully and said, "Sister Yu, we’re not worried about that. We’re just concerned...that rabbit has invited too many people, and moreover, all sorts of people are coming..."

At this point, the Baiyue Fish woman showed a hint of disdain.

The other women felt the same way. They were all Qinggui people, one and all, beauties high above in Fenghua Tower. Now, they had to get together with a bunch of commoners, and the mere thought made them feel uneasy.

Fenghua Youyu laughed and said, "Keep your unease to yourselves, show your elegance! Want to enter my Fenghua Tower? Today, I will make everyone understand one thing, even if the gates of Fenghua Tower are open, it’s not a place anyone can just enter as they please!"

Having said that, Fenghua Youyu led a group of women out in the line!

The beauties, one by one, had extraordinary temperaments like Heavenly Immortals, and every action they took was with an air of ice-cold purity and nobility, seemingly repelling others from thousands of miles away, so that no one dared to profane them!

These women lined up on both sides, taking their places at the entrances of Fenghua Tower, as if they had formed an invisible field that divided nobility from the riff-raff with a gaping chasm!

Fenghua Youyu tilted her noble head back slightly, believing that not one of these ordinary individuals, even with someone to lead them, would dare to step half a step into Fenghua Tower!

This was the naturally formed ravine between the noble and the humble!

Since ancient times, no one had dared to cross it!

The crowd in the distance was getting closer and closer...

Qin Shou ran until he noticed that the people behind him were slowing down.

"Rabbit, something’s not right. Everyone seems to be hesitant," said the Eight Trigrams Furnace.

Qin Shou waved his hand and said, "The final test has come. Only those who enter Fenghua Tower are truly my people! If you can’t get in, then get the hell out!"

Hearing Qin Shou’s words, the crowd, which had slowed down, suddenly surged with energy like an injection of chicken blood, following Qin Shou’s lead with loud shouts, picking up the pace!

The Bouncing Fish Spirit was even shouting out Qin Shou’s statements repeatedly...

Some of the Sea Clan even took out various musical instruments, making a clanging noise as they played, contributing to the imposing atmosphere.

Fenghua Youyu originally thought she could use the longstanding class divide to block these people, but what she didn’t know was that these humble people, in her eyes, were capable of bursting forth with enough ferocity to poke a hole through Heaven!

Fenghua Youyu stood at the entrance with a group of women, maintaining a smile, her attitude arrogant as she said, "Don’t be afraid! Present yourselves with propriety! I refuse to believe that these bumpkins truly dare to step into Fenghua Tower!"

Regardless of what the women did, the crowd in front showed no signs of stopping, and, in fact, they were accelerating!

The smile on Fenghua Youyu’s face gradually stiffened, eventually disappearing, then it became tinged with panic...

Just then, the Rabbit shouted, "Don’t touch the women, help yourselves to food and drink!"

The Bouncing Fish Spirit immediately relayed the command!

The crowd responded, and then like a landslide they rushed into the jade gates, which were deformed by the pressure of too many people, twisted, and ultimately collapsed with a thunderous crash, trampled into rubble by a mass of large feet...

Fenghua Youyu could only feel the lowly Sea Clan that she usually wouldn’t even glance at brush past her like a gust of wind, not sparing her a look, and just like that, they rushed into the various palaces of Fenghua Tower, indulging in gluttony and revelry!

Who knows how much time passed when the Sea Clan had all run off... Laughter, shouting, and the sounds of toasting and children playing could be heard from the palaces behind, as if they had all but forgotten about them.

The women stood where they were, completely bewildered, looking at each other, and then collectively turned to Fenghua Youyu and asked, "Sister Yu, what do we do now..."

As the women spoke, their faces took on a bitter expression, and the Baiyue Fish said in a low voice, "Sister Yu, those guys didn’t spare us a single glance from the beginning to the end... Aren’t we the most precious treasures of Fenghua Tower?"

Fenghua Youyu also fell silent for a while. She had thought that the Rabbit and his followers had come for her sisters, after all, Fenghua Tower was a place synonymous with beauty and romance, frequented by young masters who came for the company of the ladies. Otherwise, if they just wanted food, couldn’t they buy it with money? Why would they come to Fenghua Tower and spend a fortune?

Thus, Fenghua Youyu had showcased Fenghua Tower’s finest array of beauties, hoping to make those yokels feel ashamed and leave. But, it seemed this line-up was wrong from the start... she had underestimated these people she had looked down upon, they were not as important as she had imagined!

Those she disdained weren’t as lowly as she had thought either.

After a moment of silence, Fenghua Youyu shook her head and said, "Disperse. I’m going inside to take a look."

After speaking, Fenghua Youyu walked toward the interior, only to see two burly men in the distance placing two posts into the ground!

Fenghua Youyu took a closer look and saw that those were the main entrance pillars of Fenghua Tower’s main hall! Now they had been torn down and erected here!

Fenghua Youyu was immediately furious, cursing in her heart, "These bastards, are they here to eat, or to demolish the building? This is too much!"

Thinking this, Fenghua Youyu wanted to go inside and argue with the Rabbit!

And then...

"Stop right there!" Jinghan blocked the way of Fenghua Youyu.

Fenghua Youyu angrily said, "What are you doing? This is Fenghua Tower! I’m in charge here!"

Jinghan shook his head and said, "I don’t care what you are in charge of. Anyway, I said everyone celebrates today, a grand carnival for all, no idlers or unrelated people allowed inside!"

"Idlers? Unrelated? People?" For the first time, Fenghua Youyu could no longer hold back from cursing. Always known for her grace and dignity, her face turned dark for the first time.

"That’s right, anyone who’s not ’I’s person is an idler or part of the unrelated crowd. Also, ’I’ said, whatever you eat or drink, keep your own tab, and go to the Dragon Palace later for payment," Shakun chimed in.

Fenghua Youyu immediately felt dizzy, realizing this damn rabbit not only occupied Fenghua Tower but also didn’t want to spend a dime on food and drinks! This was robbery!

"If you have nothing to do, don’t loiter around the entrance. This door was just put up; if it falls, it won’t be good if it hits someone," Shakun said.

With her teeth biting her thin lips and fists clenched, Fenghua Youyu gritted her teeth and muttered, "Damn... rabbit..."

Fenghua Youyu’s gaze passed over the gate, across the trees, and landed on the tallest turret of Fenghua Tower, where she saw a rabbit stuffing a big wine barrel into a box around its neck! And it seemed to be stuffing in tables and chairs as well...

Her face grew darker, and she had the feeling that this rabbit wasn’t here just to eat and drink; this guy was here for demolition!

Indeed, Qin Shou was there for demolition. Such a beautiful palace, even prettier than the Moon Palace, especially the plants and rare species within—it seemed a waste to leave them here. It would be better to move them to the moon.

As a result, Qin Shou had let people eat whatever they wanted, and while they were at it, they could take whatever they fancied!

The Eight Trigrams Furnace said, "Rabbit, are you planning to scrape off even a layer of the ground? What if they ask you to compensate, can you afford it?"

With a gulp of wine, Qin Shou laughed and said, "The money spent isn’t ours, why the worry? Hey, you! Stop dismantling the house! We’re drinking! Do you want to drink in the open? And you, toad! Mind your manners, use chopsticks, don’t stick out your tongue, it’s disgusting, got it? Damn it, you took the whole plate of food, go eat outside!..."

Listening to these shouts, the Eight Trigrams Furnace was speechless. He turned and left, lured by the aroma and sounds of cooking to the backstage kitchen to enjoy the spectacle.

In the kitchen, over a thousand octopus chefs were busily controlling seven or eight stoves each...

The Eight Trigrams Furnace stood by watching, learning, and feeling even more professional.

In the following days, Qin Shou didn’t leave Fenghua Tower, nor did he go to the Crystal Palace, but there was someone who made a dozen or more trips to the Crystal Palace every day, and that was Qilin Hua...

"Your Majesty, a note from the rabbit," Qilin Hua sadly handed over the note.

The Dragon King glanced at it, and of course, it was still: "I, Rabbit, send money!"

Grinding his teeth in anger, the Dragon King slammed the table and roared, "This damn rabbit wants money again? He’s been wining and dining at Fenghua Tower on IOUs! What does he need money for?"

Looking pitiful, Qilin Hua said, "He... put it all in his pockets..."

The Dragon King furiously said, "Not a penny! Not a single penny!"

Qilin Hua said, "The rabbit mentioned that if he runs out of money, he won’t be able to frolic anymore."

The Dragon King replied, "What do I care! I’m not his dad!"

Qilin Hua continued, "But he said if he has no money to frolic outside, he’ll have to bring people back to Crystal Palace to have fun."

The Dragon King retorted, "What do I care... What? Tell him to get lost! Far away!"

Qilin Hua acknowledged quietly, and was about to leave when the Dragon King’s voice followed, "No more money, let him rack up IOUs and keep the tab! Don’t TM bother me again!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Qilin Hua left.

For seven days...

In those seven days, Qin Shou entertained countless guests, and who knows how much fine food and drink was consumed in Fenghua Tower, with chefs being replaced who knows how many times. It could be said the entire city was overjoyed, a nationwide celebration more lively than the usual New Year festivities.

Of course, some people were washing their faces with tears every day, but that’s another story...

One day, the Dragon King sat on his throne, looking at a bill so long it could stretch from the throne to outside the Dragon Palace, his face ashen...

Beneath him sat a rabbit with a sly smile, saying, "Old Dragon King, I won’t say anything else but you are truly generous! ’I’ have had a blast these days. Rest assured, when I go back, I’ll tell everyone—the Dragon King is generous! Rich! Stinking rich! Worth befriending!"

The Dragon King shivered at the words, more people to invite? Was he cursed with too easy a life? Quickly, he said, "Just... shut up!"

Qin Shou replied, "When one does good deeds, one must spread the word! Don’t be shy, ’I’ guarantee, with our reputation, our relations, rounding up a bunch of immortals for a vacation won’t be a problem. But for food and accommodation..."

"Pay for themselves!" Ao Guang, the Dragon King, immediately interjected.
