Chapter 121: Why Are We Here?

Xiao Mi took two pieces of jerky from her Small Storage Bag and handed one to Gao Xing, "Here you go, my Uncle Zu Lu made these, they're delicious."

Su Xi saw this and hurriedly reached out to stop her, "Xiao Mi, you can't give that to a child."

The jerky snacks Xiao Mi carried were all made by the God Clan elders in her family, and the ingredients used were not something ordinary people could digest.

"I can eat it, isn't it just jerky?" Gao Xing immediately took it and stuffed it into his mouth.

He even praised it repeatedly, "It's so good, let your Uncle Zu Lu come work at my family's hotel in the future."

"My uncle has his own big hotel, he can't come to yours," Xiao Mi replied, "Here, have another one."

"Thanks, Xiao Mi." Gao Xing took the jerky, this time savoring it carefully.

Su Xi watched the two of them, especially Gao Xing, who seemed to be perfectly fine.

Xiao Mi said to Su Xi, "Big Sister, he can eat it; I had Uncle Zu Lu make this specifically for Xiao Fengxu."

Xiao Fengxu was her nephew, and Su Xi's expression softened instantly, "That's good then."

Gao Xing listened carefully, "Who is Xiao Fengxu?"

Xiao Mi replied, "My big sister's nephew."

Gao Xing raised his hand and scratched his ear, "Your big sister's nephew, isn't that your nephew too?"

Xiao Mi blinked and asked Su Xi, "Is Xiao Fengxu my nephew too?"

Su Xi chuckled, "We each count our own relations. If you want him to be your nephew, he might not necessarily agree."

Besides, who knows how many years have passed. Xiao Fengxu must have reincarnated who knows how many generations ago...

"This jerky is so fragrant." Gao Xing finished another piece very quickly.

"I'll give you some more." Xiao Mi took another handful out of her Small Storage Bag.

Gao Xing hadn't noticed how Xiao Mi got the jerky earlier, so when he saw her pull a handful out of the Small Storage Bag this time, he was incredibly surprised, "This little bag of yours... ah!"

Gao Xing suddenly clutched his stomach, "My stomach hurts!"

Saying this, he ran off.

"Huh?" Xiao Mi blinked, then asked Su Xi, "He didn't really get a stomachache from eating it, did he?"

"He won't," Su Xi smiled, "It's just that for ordinary people, this jerky has the effect of Xijing Fashui; he might need to purge the impurities from his body."

"Alright then." Xiao Mi picked up her game console, "I'll play by myself for now."

Su Xi said to Er Miao: 【Keep an eye on Gao Xing; the medicinal properties contained in this jerky might be a bit too potent for him.】

【Understood, Host.】 Er Miao replied.

Not long after, Er Miao said to Su Xi: 【Lady Gao received the news and went to the restroom, and she even brought a doctor with her.】

【...】 Su Xi looked at Xiao Mi, who was still playing with great enthusiasm, "Xiao Mi, let Big Sister taste that jerky of yours."

"Sure." Xiao Mi gave all the jerky she had prepared for Gao Xing to Su Xi.

Su Xi took one piece and put the rest into the System Space, letting Er Miao analyze the medicinal properties of the jerky while she was at it.

Su Xi took a bite of the jerky; it was chewy, fragrant, and fresh, "It really is quite delicious."

Er Miao said to Su Xi: 【The jerky contains energy from Pseudo-Spiritual Energy; ordinary people who eat it can repair damaged nerves and even achieve Regeneration of necrotic bodily functions.】

【Really? How come I don't feel that Pseudo-Spiritual Energy you're talking about when I eat it?】 Su Xi ate another piece.

【This was made using spirit beast meat paired with heavenly treasures. For the Host, it might require a celestial beast or a divine beast, along with higher-grade heavenly treasures, to have any effect.】

【Hmm.】

After Gao Xing finished his bowel movement, he started to feel sleepy.

However, thinking that Xiao Mi was still waiting for him to play games together, he prepared to return to the banquet hall.

Lady Gao stopped him, wanting him to get a physical checkup.

Gao Xing didn't feel uncomfortable, but he couldn't win against his mother, so he finally let the doctor draw some blood before hurrying off to find Xiao Mi.

Seeing Gao Xing return, Xiao Mi asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, I'm great." But his eyes couldn't help but start to doze off.

Xiao Mi looked at him and said, "If you're sleepy, just sleep. We'll play again when you wake up; I'm staying in suite 2809."

"Mm, when I wake up..." Gao Xing ultimately couldn't resist the intense sleepiness and collapsed onto the sofa to sleep.

Lady Gao followed him over, and seeing her sleeping son, she said to Su Xi with some helplessness, "This child usually doesn't sleep much, and I've been hoping he could sleep more, but now he's suddenly fallen asleep on his own."

"Children are in a rapid growth phase, so they tend to be sleepier," Su Xi smiled, then took the game console from Xiao Mi's hands.

Lady Gao hurriedly said, "Let Xiao Mi play with it, we have way too many game consoles at home."

Xiao Mi replied, "Thank you, Lady Gao, then I won't stand on ceremony."

"No need to be formal," Lady Gao smiled, then picked up Gao Xing, "You two go ahead and play, if you need anything, just tell the hotel staff."

"Okay." Su Xi responded.

【Er Miao, you said this jerky can achieve Regeneration of bodily functions? Then if a corpse ghost were to eat the jerky... would it have any effect?】

【The Host can try it and see. Twenty-eight kilometers from here, there is a Xinyuan Shiyanshi. There are corpse ghost test subjects inside.】

【Let's go take a look.】 Su Xi said to Er Miao, then looked at Xiao Mi, "Do you want to go play somewhere else?"

Xiao Mi nodded and replied: "Sure."

Yu Cheng saw Su Xi and Xiao Mi and immediately walked toward them.

Zhong Weilan followed him, "Brother Cheng, my father has already arrived at the hotel entrance, do you want to go down?"

Yu Cheng replied: "You go ahead first, I'm going to greet a friend."

Zhong Weilan's expression was somewhat sheepish, "Alright then."

After Yu Cheng walked away, a flash of coldness crossed her eyes, and she turned toward the elevator.

The security personnel responsible for protecting her followed closely behind.

"Sister Wen, look into those Su sisters," Zhong Weilan said to the personal security guard walking in front.

"Yes, Miss."

Er Miao collected this piece of news and immediately told Su Xi, 【Host, Zhong Weilan is going to investigate you and Xiao Mi.】

Su Xi replied: 【No need to worry about her.】

"You've come over." Yu Cheng greeted Su Xi, then said to Xiao Mi: "Has Xiao Mi been listening to Big Sister?"

"Yes, and I also met a little friend named Gao Xing; he is very good at playing games," Xiao Mi replied obediently.

"I know him, he is Gao Speaker's youngest son," Yu Cheng replied.

Su Xi patted Xiao Mi's head, "We are preparing to leave."

Yu Cheng was slightly surprised, "There will be a band and dance performance in a while, won't you watch it?"

Su Xi said: "Something came up temporarily. Thank you for the invitation, Mr. Yu, let's meet again later at the Rooftop Garden."

"Alright." Yu Cheng nodded.

Su Xi held Xiao Mi's hand and entered the elevator.

Once the elevator doors closed, the two of them used Teleportation to leave directly.

When they reappeared, they had arrived at Xinyuan Shiyanshi.

Looking at the experimental materials room marked with red letters as hazardous, Xiao Mi whispered to Su Xi: "Big Sister, why are we here?"

"To conduct an experiment!" Su Xi also replied in a low voice: "Do you want to try?"

"Yes!" Xiao Mi's eyes were sparkling.
