Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as the Rock King Emperor, Wandering the Mortal World

Chapter 534: So much joy, so much sorrow.

May everything go smoothly and joyfully on the first day of the Lunar New Year!

"Guest, come here, here's your New Year's money!"

Walnut was wearing a white skirt with red trim and a slightly brownish tinge, along with black stockings and red leather shoes.

Holding the red envelope, yet unaware of its value.

"New Year's money?"

In the hall, Paimon was the first to react, looking at Hu Tao with disbelief.

Did this young lady give Zhong Li New Year's money?

At Zhongli's age, does he still need to receive New Year's money?

Giving red envelopes with money is a tradition in Liyue, usually given by elders to younger generations as a way to bring good luck.

This was the first time I had ever given Zhongli New Year's money.

Zhong Li's eyes twitched slightly, and there was a hint of surprise in his amber pupils.

"This is a token of Walnut's appreciation, please accept it."

The girl in the long sleeves stood beside Zhong Li, smiling, and nudged him.

Although she didn't laugh out loud, the look in her eyes betrayed her.

Thinking about it carefully, Hu Tao is the head of the hall, and Zhong Li is a guest, which is equivalent to an employee. It is reasonable for the boss to give a red envelope to the guest.

"Morax, haha~"

King Ruoduo, who was lying on the table next to him, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This caused a black line to appear on Zhong Li's forehead.

This girl is really...

Slowly exhaling a breath of stale air, Zhong Li then accepted the red envelope.

"Thank you, Master!"

Gui Zhong is right. It was Hu Tao's good intention, so we should accept it.

Regardless of what's inside the red envelope.

"Hu Tao, does Paimon have any red envelopes?"

Seeing Zhongli accept the red envelope, Paimon quickly flew to Hu Tao's side and stared at her with wide eyes.

His eyes were full of anticipation.

"It's Paimon! Of course we have it!"

"Everyone gets a share! Everyone gets a share!"

After saying this, Hu Tao began distributing red envelopes, and in a short while, she had finished distributing them all.

Both Ruoduo and Guoba received red envelopes from Hu Tao, showing that they were treated equally.

"Thank you, Walnut!"

After accepting the red envelope, Paimon expressed his sincere gratitude.

"Huh, I got a share too?"

Ruo Tuo held the red envelope, somewhat at a loss. He had been laughing loudly before, but now he couldn't laugh anymore.

Believe it or not, as an "elder," he didn't actually prepare any gifts for the children.

It's really not Ruoduo's fault. In his condition, even if he wanted to prepare gifts for everyone, he wouldn't be able to do so.

At the same time, most people in the entire Tiandou City and even the Douluo Continent were discussing what happened last night.

The god of fire brings light to the world, drives away darkness, and lights up the night sky.

The dazzling flames not only captivated people but also inspired longing.

Even more happened in Tiandou City last night. Besides the performance by the God of Fire, there were also performances by Xiangling and Hutao, and even a wandering poet singing, singing of freedom, singing...

"That wandering poet is no ordinary person."

Right next to Zhongli Mansion, Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, Gu Rong, Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and others were gathered around a table, talking about what happened yesterday.

Yesterday's banquet invited Ning Fengzhi and others. They were from the next room and, without any sect concerns, all attended.

At the banquet, Ning Fengzhi and the others realized that even without Zhongli, the Zhongli Manor was still full of hidden talents and was not an ordinary god who could offend it.

Yes, God...

As for humans, you can't even entertain the thought of offending them.

"Father-in-law, you must be referring to Wendy, the one who drank with Poison Douluo, right?"

Oscar sat next to Ning Rongrong, a glint in his eyes.

If they want to restore their sect, they must work harder than others, whether it's by befriending prodigies or getting to know powerful figures.

Yesterday's banquet met all these conditions.

Could a "young man" who can drink with Poison Douluo Dugu Bo be an ordinary person?

It should be noted that many people present recognized Wendy. It is said that most of the invitations from Zhongli Mansion, especially those outside Tiandou City, were delivered by Wendy.

Such a person is definitely not ordinary.

"I also observed that young man. He didn't have the aura of a strong person. He looked no different from an ordinary person."

Chen Xin frowned and spoke.

He wasn't refuting Ning Fengzhi and Oscar's words, but rather trying to make this boy named Wendy seem less "ordinary".

You should know that the last person he sensed like Wendy was Zhongli!

This almost invincible Rock King Emperor!

The more ordinary someone seems, the more extraordinary they actually are.

"Uncle Jian is right. Even with my level 98 soul power, I still can't sense the slightest trace of a powerful figure on the other party."

Ning Fengzhi said with a solemn expression.

Can someone who can send invitations to all parts of mainland China in a single day be considered an ordinary person?

Clearly, they were simply not strong enough to see through the opponent's cultivation level.

The reason why everyone is talking about Wendy is actually quite simple: because Wendy is powerful enough!

You should know that even Poison Season Four could feel the oppressive aura of a god emanating from it.

What does this tell us?

This is someone even above the god of fire!

"The other person enjoys fine wine; could we gain their friendship through this?"

Everyone observed very carefully at yesterday's banquet, and they made notes on the preferences of the "special" person.

Gaining favor by exploiting others' preferences is a consistent practice of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Zhongli enjoys good food, tea, plays, and music. They tried to win Zhongli's friendship through these activities.

Of course, this friendship was severed because of the Qiluo Tulip incident.

Now, they can only start with other powerful individuals, and someone like Wendy is a good choice.

"Uncle Bone is right, I think it's feasible."

Even if the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School doesn't have fine wine at this time, they have plenty of gold soul coins. As long as they have enough gold soul coins, they can easily get any kind of fine wine.

"Since you think it's feasible, Fengzhi, then let's start acquiring Mei Bar. We desperately need the friendship of strong individuals."

Chen Xin said with an unchanged expression, but sighed inwardly.

I don't know why, but the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is clearly getting stronger, stronger than ever before.

Unfortunately, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School was destroyed at its most powerful moment.

They once only possessed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and held only the title of Douluo, yet they were the second-largest of the three upper sects. Who in the entire Douluo Continent did not fear them?

But the more they develop and the stronger they become, the more likely they are to perish. Where can we find justice in this?

The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the inheritor of the gods, the sect's soul masters exceeding ten thousand, and the support of powerful soul beasts...

In the past, he could have completely disregarded any power on the entire Douluo Continent.

"When will my Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School be able to stand up again...?"

Chen Xin looked up at the sky, his right hand trembling slightly, showing that he was not at peace.

It's fair to say that no one present was at peace; despite it being the new year, they couldn't feel happy at all.

(They're not happy, but readers should be!)
