Gift value 1000 for an extra chapter.

The Fu Family Manor is located in the South Lake Bay Scenic Area of Han Ning City, covering a total area of over a thousand acres.

The entire manor was built into an ancient Dragonflower Country-style garden, with carved beams and painted pillars, pavilions, and towers.

It's hard to imagine that in such a high-tech forest composed of steel, concrete, and even metal, there would still exist such a tranquil, secluded, elegant, and exquisite ancient building.

Walking through the moon gates and carved corridors felt like being in an ancient poem or painting; every step revealed intoxicating beauty.

"Grandpa Fu likes these things full of ancient charm. This manor was bought with the first pot of gold he earned when he was young."

Fu Yifan personally went to the entrance to greet Mingxi, and was now leading her towards the main house, introducing every corner of the home to her.

Mingxi gasped. Grandpa Fu was truly the big boss.

To be able to buy such a large manor with his first pot of gold, just how big was that pot?

Comparing herself, her first pot of gold in the true sense should be the transaction with Fu Yifan's strategist, plus the red packet she received from the Lin Yingluo event, totaling 110,000 star coins.

110,000 star coins, probably not even enough to buy a small patch of lawn in this manor.

Comparing oneself to others truly only leads to exasperation.

"That's the outdoor training ground, with four sections."

Mingxi looked in the direction Fu Yifan pointed, past the rockeries and flowing water, over the neatly trimmed shrubs and flowers, was an endless expanse of flat ground.

Truly, endless.

Is this the world of the rich?

How envious.

"Xiao Guniang Mingxi is here, welcome, welcome."

After several twists and turns, they finally arrived at the main hall.

Only two people were seated in the main hall.

Fu Ting and Fu Sushu.

Presumably, they were worried that too many people would make Mingxi uncomfortable, so the rest of the Fu Family were not present.

Fu Ting still wore a flowing blue long gown, making him appear three parts younger.

"Hello, Grandpa Fu. You can just call me Mingxi or Xiao Xi."

Calling her "Xiao Guniang" was a bit embarrassing.

Fu Ting smiled, thinking this Xiao Guniang was indeed very interesting, so young yet deeply versed in social etiquette.

Previously, at the awards ceremony, she called him 'Chairman Fu,' but now she directly called him 'Grandpa Fu.'

It was clear that her change in address was not to flatter him, as there was no hint of servility or fawning in her expression.

At this moment, in her eyes, he was probably just Fu Yifan's Grandpa.

Moreover, after she entered, her gaze remained clear and candid, and her demeanor was composed and graceful; he couldn't find a single trace of pettiness in her.

Whether it was her speech, temperament, upbringing, or character, it could be said that Mingxi was no worse than his two grandsons.

But one must know that the environments they grew up in and the education they received were worlds apart.

For a Xiao Guniang to grow up like this was truly extraordinary.

Mingxi didn't know that Fu Ting's evaluation of her was so high.

She took out the gift she had prepared earlier from her already bound spatial button.

It was impolite to visit someone's home without bringing a gift.

It was still a small jar of wine immortal honey, just packaged more exquisitely and elegantly.

She couldn't bear to give more; she planned to save most of the wine immortal honey for her Grandma, and also for her great-uncle who had always been very kind to the original owner and Grandma.

This item must be good for the elderly's health, and perhaps it could truly prolong life. She hoped her Grandma and great-uncle would be healthy and live long lives.

"Thank you for your invitation. This is my first visit to your esteemed residence, and I didn't have time to prepare. This jar of wine immortal honey was something I fortunately obtained in a secret realm earlier. I hope Grandpa Fu won't dislike it."

Upon hearing the words 'wine immortal honey,' a glint flashed in Fu Ting's eyes, and he raised his hand to take the gift.

His speed was so fast, as if he was afraid Mingxi would change her mind.

Mingxi blinked: "...Was that an illusion?"

What good things hadn't a big shot seen? Why would he care about her small gift?

"Of course I don't dislike it, I couldn't be happier."

Fu Ting smiled so much his eyebrows flew up, and he carefully put the jar of wine immortal honey into his spatial button.

How could a big shot, whose first pot of gold could buy this huge manor, not have a spatial button?

"Don't laugh, but the jar you gave Fu Yifan this morning has already been snatched by me."

Mingxi was surprised.

There was such a thing?

She looked at Fu Yifan, who nodded with a bitter face.

To apologize, as soon as he returned home, he had given half a jar of wine immortal honey to his Grandpa.

But it turned out, it would have been better if he hadn't given it; once he did, his remaining half jar also didn't survive.

Fu Yifan explained, "Grandpa said that your wine immortal honey is an extremely rare health-preserving sacred product. Long-term consumption can not only beautify and nourish the skin, eliminate chronic ailments, but also prolong life. Oh, and it's also good for pet beasts; long-term consumption might even enhance their talent.

Grandpa also said that just this small jar you gave could sell for at least tens of millions of star coins, and it's also a priceless treasure that money can't buy."

A huge "Oh wow" echoed in Mingxi's heart. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

She knew wine immortal honey was a good thing, but she didn't know it was this good.

She calculated how much wine immortal honey she still had on hand.

If she sold it all, could she also buy a manor?

Couldn't imagine, couldn't imagine.

"So your gift definitely hit Grandpa Fu's sweet spot!"

To be honest, he even felt a pang of heartache for Junior Mingxi; she was so poor, although she wasn't poor anymore.

But to give away over twenty million star coins at once, given Mingxi's situation, was indeed a grand gesture.

Mingxi didn't feel heartbroken, although she did feel a little bit.

However, she was more concerned about the efficacy of the wine immortal honey.

So, the pet beast identification device wasn't bragging?

Then, could "immortal blessings forever" also be anticipated?

"Hahahaha, Fu Yifan is right, Mingxi, this old man really likes your gift."

This wine immortal honey was a treasure that couldn't be bought with money, even he had only seen it a few times at the Prosperous Luck Auction House.

Each time, he had to fight tooth and nail with a group of people, and he might not even win the bid.

Mingxi: "..."

So, it really wasn't her imagination just now.

"Junior Mingxi, can I compete with you again?"

At this moment, Fu Sushu also squeezed forward, flashing a sincere eight-toothed smile at Mingxi.

His eyes sparkled, carrying both goodwill and fighting spirit.

Mingxi: "..."

Why was he suddenly calling her "Junior"? When did she become so familiar with Fu Sushu? And was this still that arrogant young master from a noble family?

This person in front of her was actually Fu Sushu's twin brother, right?

"My cousin only likes those who are stronger than him. The stronger you are, the more enthusiastic he gets."

Fu Yifan quietly explained in her ear.

Mingxi finally understood. This Fu Sushu probably had a bit of an M tendency, only interested in opponents stronger than himself.

Mingxi shivered, but her face wore a calm and peaceful smile.

"Of course you can."

Mingxi basically never refused challenges from others, after all, they were all small amounts of money (reward duration).

"Really? That's great! Then let's compete now, come on, let's go to—"

Hearing Mingxi agree, Fu Sushu immediately wanted to drag Mingxi to the outdoor training ground.

But he was caught by Fu Ting by the scruff of his neck.
