Dugu Muyou looked suspiciously at Blood Fox who suddenly became energetic, hugged it in front of her, and asked in a low voice, "Have you found something that can make your injury heal faster?"
Blood Fox shook its head and drooled.
Dugu Muyou looked at Blood Fox and found that it stared at a plate of roast chicken on the table.
"It wants to eat roast chicken," The Fifth Prince said with a smile near Dugu Muyou's ear.
Blood Fox stretched out a paw and wanted to reach the chicken, but the paw was too short to reach. Dugu Muyou suddenly felt embarrassed. It was just a plate of roast chicken. How could it be so greedy? Didn't Nangong Xun give it anything to eat? It looked like Blood Fox had never seen chicken in its life.
"The banquet hasn't started yet, so you can't eat it."
Dugu Muyou patted heavily on Blood Fox's paw. Blood Fox awoke from the temptation of the chicken and looked at Dugu Muyou accusingly. Its eyes were full of dissatisfaction, "How can you treat the wounded like this?"
"Humph! Like the owner, like the spiritual animal," Dugu Piaopiao said with disdain.
"What is it? Why haven't I seen it?"
The Fifth Prince looked at Blood Fox, reaching out to touch it. Blood Fox drilled into Dugu Muyou's arms, avoided the Fifth Prince's hands, and gave him a look of contempt by the way. How dare he touch Blood Fox?
The Fifth Prince was shocked by Blood Fox's human-like expression. At this time, Dugu Zhong noticed the Fifth Prince and came to entertain him with Liu Pianpian.
After the Fifth Prince was called away by them, Dugu Piaopiao immediately glanced at Dugu Muyou and said, "Don't have designs on the Fifth Prince. People like you aren't qualified to make friends with him."
"What kind of person am I?"
"A well-known waste. Who would like to befriend you? Don't waste your efforts."
"I am at the middle stage of green rank." Dugu Muyou said with a hint of spiritual qi. "If I am not qualified, does that mean you are also not qualified? At least, I am the direct line of the family. But your mother is just a concubine. If you say I am unqualified, you are definitely more unqualified than me."
"Wait and see! On the day of the competition, I will definitely defeat you. I'll let you suffer a crushing defeat."
Although Dugu Piaopiao said this, shewas hurt by Dugu Muyou's words, and her face was obviously pale.
Dugu Zhong's love for her made her forget her identity as a daughter of a concubine. Dugu Zhong's love couldn't change her origin. Just because of her identity, she was worse than Dugu Qinglan, who had good conditions in all aspects. Dugu Muyou had been worse than her before. Dugu Piaopiao could bully Dugu Muyou at will. Who knew that Dugu Muyou was so powerful now?
How could she cultivate so fast? In this case, wouldn't the probability of defeating Dugu Muyou during the competition be smaller?
After thinking of this, Dugu Piaopiao was not relieved in her mind anymore. This competition was an opportunity she tried hard to get. It was related to the core cultivation method of the Dugus. If she won, she could learn the core cultivation method. She had to make sure that nothing was wrong. Dugu Piaopiao looked at Dugu Muyou coldly, who was carrying Blood Fox. Dugu Piaopiao's eyes darkened, and nobody knew what she was thinking.
Most of the people who came to the banquet were members of the Dugus. They were from the branches of the family from all over the Jinnan Kingdom. Guests like the Fifth Prince were few, so most of these people did not recognize Dugu Muyou.
Seeing that Muyou was observing those people, Dugu Qinglan explained, "None of the four major families in the Honglie Mystery Land sent anyone here. In addition to the royal family that we had good relations with, the other two major families, the Zhu Family and the Hua Family, don't attend because they have a normal relationship with us. However, they would be there to watch the competition tomorrow. The rests are small families and forces, and they are not worth commending."
"What about the Taoyuan Wonderland?"
Dugu Muyou thought of the two brothers from the Hua Family she met in the Valley of Magical Animals. Dugu Qinglan didn't mention this. It seemed that they were not worth commending.
"Taoyuan Wonderland has never sent people to watch the family competition of our family. They are secretive, and they rarely leave Taoyuan Wonderland, so they generally don't participate in the affairs of various families. This time will be no exception."
A sense of disappointment rose in Dugu Muyou's mind. She originally expected the brothers of the Hua Family would come and they could get together. Since they said goodbye last time, they had not seen each other again. Dugu Muyou missed them.
She was thinking, but there was a sudden pain in her hand. When she looked down, she saw a few red marks on her hand without bleeding. Blood Fox withdrew its claws and stared at Dugu Muyou angrily.
"You are a skittish woman! Why are you thinking of them?" Blood Fox asked in her mind.
Dugu Muyou was speechless, picking up Blood Fox with two fingers and letting it hang in the air. She shook it back and forth vigorously.
"Recently, you become more and more arrogant. If your injury is better, I will deal with you."
Dugu Muyou and Blood Fox were confronting each other, and Dugu Zhong began to signal everyone to be quiet, announcing that the banquet was about to begin. Everyone was seated. Dugu Muyou and Dugu Qinglan were at the same table. Dugu Yaoyao, Dugu Piaopiao, and others were also seated at the same table. Dugu Zhong and the Fifth Prince were seated at this table, too.
Dugu Piaopiao won the position next to the Fifth Prince. Dugu Zhong saw her behavior in his eyes but didn't say anything. It seemed to be an approval. After everyone was in place, the banquet officially began.
Dugu Muyou watched this, wondering if Dugu Zhong wanted to marry his daughter to the Fifth Prince.
However, Dugu Piaopiao's talent ranked second in the family, which was only worse than Dugu Qinglan's. How could Dugu Zhong be willing to let her go? Most families in Jinnan Kingdom, including the major four families in the Honglie Mystery Land, would not let promising women in the family marry the men in other families. They would keep these women in their own families for training. Only those with lower talents would marry the men in other families.
From time to time, Dugu Muyou glanced at the Fifth Prince and Dugu Piaopiao. No one noticed at first. This time, when she looked over, she met a pair of smiling eyes.
The Fifth Prince stood up and toasted his glass to the people at the table, "Most of you here are people who will participate in the competition tomorrow. I wish you success, especially Miss Muyou. This is your first time attending the family competition. I am looking forward to your performance very much."
The others echoed, but Dugu Muyou only felt a little bored. She still clearly remembered what she heard in the Royal Palace that night, so she was a little alert towards the Fifth Prince. In the eyes of others, the Fifth Prince was gentle. But she thought he was a little pretentious.
"Muyou, say thanks to His Highness." Dugu Zhong said in a deep voice.
Only then did Dugu Muyou raise her glass and say, "Thanks for your concern, Your Highness. I will not let you down."
Blood Fox stared at the plate of roast chicken, and it didn't care about anything else. Dugu Muyou felt it was so funny and gave it a big chicken leg. Blood Fox immediately ate the chicken leg regardless of image. It made Dugu Muyou wonder if Nangong Xun didn't give Blood Fox meals for eight hundred years.
After the banquet was over, the crowd dispersed. Blood Fox had a big meal with a round belly. After this, Dugu Muyou estimated that it wouldn't have the courage to pretend to be profound in the future.
After waking up, the family competition of the Dugus officially began.
In the morning, two tall and thin figures came to the house of Dugus. One dressed in white while the other dressed in black. They were the two brothers of the Hua Family, Hua Qingshui and Hua Qingyue.
"We are from Taoyuan Wonderland. I am Hua Qingshui, and this is my brother Hua Qingyue. We come here to have a visit." Hua Qingshui, who dressed in black, said to Dugu Jin with his hands cupped.
Dugu Jin was shocked when he heard they were from the Taoyuan Wonderland. The Dugus didn't have any contact with them. Why did they appear this time? Dugu Jin, who always acted with discretion and was the right-hand man of Dugu Zhong, forgot his responsibilities at this moment and looked at the two brothers standing in front of him up and down.
"Cough!" Hua Qingyue covered his mouth and coughed lightly.
Dugu Jin realized his impoliteness in shame. He was so discourteous that he stared at the guests out of curiosity. Turning his head and enjoining another person, Dugu Jin stepped forward and said respectfully, "I heard of the Taoyuan Wonderland for a long time. Please come with me."
Dugu Zhong soon got the news that there were two guests coming from Taoyuan Wonderland. He was shocked and went to welcome the guests in person.
After they met, there was another greeting. Hua Qingyue was absent-minded, and Hua Qingshui exchanged greetings with Dugu Zhong. Hua Qingyue looked for Dugu Muyou.
It didn't take long for the people in the Dugu Family to hear about the guests from the Taoyuan Wonderland. They all started discussing with their friends. Even the Fifth Prince was very interested when he heard about it.
"Why do they come here? Come on! I will visit them." The Fifth Prince said.
On the other side, Dugu Yaoyao looked at the two brothers who looked alike but had completely different personalities. She said to herself, "I didn't expect that the people in Taoyuan Wonderland are all talents."
"They're far worse than the Fifth Prince." Another voice interrupted.
"Hey! Piaopiao, why don't you stay with the Fifth Prince?"
"I heard the discussion. People said that the two brothers were handsome with great talents, so I came to have a look. They are not so handsome. The Fifth Prince is much more handsome than them."
Dugu Yaoyao shook her head and said, "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. You like the Fifth Prince, and so you think he is better than others in all aspects."
It was rare for Dugu Piaopiao to feel shy with a blush.
The arrival of Hua Qingyue and Hua Qingshui immediately aroused heated discussions. People were all discussing Taoyuan Wonderland and speculating on the purpose of their trip.
When Dugu Muyou came to the competition site, she saw such a messy scene.
"It's really messy." She said with emotion.
"Miss Muyou, Master wants you to go there immediately." Dugu Jin finally found Dugu Muyou and said hurriedly. "Hurry up! Master has been waiting for a while."
Dugu Muyou was dragged forward and asked strangely, "What the hell is it?"
"You'll know when you get there."
Dugu Muyou saw the black and white figures from a distance, and her doubts were all swept away. She left Dugu Jin and quickly came to Hua Qingshui and Hua Qingyue quickly.
"Long time no see! You guys really come."
When the two brothers of the Hua Family saw Dugu Muyou, Hua Qingshui was calm and just showed a smile, but Hua Qingyue was different. He immediately flew to Dugu Muyou and hugged her with his eyes glowing!
Dugu Zhong was shocked, and he glanced at Liu Pianpian who was standing next to him. "Well..."
Liu Pianpian was also shocked. She looked at Dugu Muyou with surprise. When she looked at the two brothers of the Hua Family again, she seemed to choose the son-in-law.
Seeing this scene, Dugu Yaoyao looked bad. She gritted her teeth and whispered, "Why is it her again?"
