Chapter 282 – Florida Man Faces Warrant for Allegedly Raising Male Bulls for Inappropriate Use.
"Executive job?" Dongfang Mei didn't fully understand Leo, "What kind of job, sir?"
"Managing this business, well, a massive tavern business. Do you have any related experience?"
"OH?!" Dongfang Mei repeatedly nodded after Leo mentioned 'tavern'. "Is this place a tavern, sir?"
"Yes. It's a high-tech one. You'll need to learn a lot before you can employ helpers."
"I DO! I WANT TO TAKE THIS JOB!!"
Dongfang Mei was firm. Her life experience told her not to miss this opportunity.
Leo approved Dongfang Mei's decisiveness. This was one of the required qualities of a good leader.
"Good. You're hired! I'll increase your wage and cultivation resources accordingly. So, here is your job. I want you to explore this place and remember how every facility works. You have 15 days to comprehend everything. As for the employees, you are free to hire anybody to work here. Make sure every business in this hotel is covered."
"Yes, sir! You can count on me!" Dongfang Mei giggled and immediately turned to Xu Nuan. She smiled at her subordinate. "You'll be my assistant, Xu Nuan. Oh, go call the girls that have nothing to do. Bring them here so we can learn about this place together! Let's go!"
"O-Okay." Xu Nuan was still confused, but she rushed toward the clothing stores, where most of her disciples gathered to play or work.
The onlookers could only gaze at Xu Nuan and Dongfang Mei in envy. Even Bao Xun cursed his fate as to why he wasn't born a woman.
Meanwhile, Cat was oblivious to the talk. She tilted her head and tugged Leo's clothes.
"Nom-Nom Meow?" (Daddy. Where food?)
Leo shifted his attention to Cat. He wryly laughed and patted her head.
"Alright. Let's get you some crazy cows. Come inside with us."
"Meow <3" (Yay!)
The weird family entered the hotel while Dongfang Mei followed him into the building. The door shut behind them, blocking the outsiders from intruding on the premises.
.
After the door was locked, the spectators whispered among each other before they rushed back, especially the people of the Tang Clan. They were the only group who didn't have a proper job other than maintaining the order of the western slum district.
The news about the new recruitment quickly spread. As the tavern job's concept was easy to understand, idle housewives and young maidens of the families were interested in the new opportunity.
Within 30 minutes, a hundred idle women from the Tang Clan made their way to the hotel. Xu Nuan also brought 50 of her disciples who were bored of working in clothing stores.
The doors were automatically opened, and the new employees entered. Dongfang Mei accepted them without an issue. Although 150 workers might not be enough, they were enough for the first batch of trainees. Also, it would take a while to learn the jobs and new culture.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLeo also helped them integrate into modern technologies and culture, such as room services, spas, housekeeping, and the usage of various facilities and electric appliances.
Also, Leo combined another set of earth fate crystals. Another true earth fate crystal was born, and it was used to power the hotel complex. Another source of "HOLY WATER" emerged.
.
.
14 days later, Dongfang Mei, Xu Nuan, and 150 employees graduated from the hotel management crash course. As for Cat, she ditched them the first day when Leo started teaching the women housekeeping techniques.
On this day, the group gathered in one of the meeting halls in the hotel complex. Leo stood on a podium and gazed at the crowd of hotel employees, who had changed their dresses into a maid uniform. Only Dongfang Mei wore a modern white suit.
"It has been over a month since the last seasonal expedition. It's about time we prepare for my wedding ceremony. You know what to do, right?"
Dongfang Mei brightly smiled, "Can I also hold a ceremony for me and my husband afterward?"
"Do whatever you want. Make sure you don't F up my wedding. I just want to get this over with."
"Of course! We'll do our best, senior! By the way, about the rental price and other fees, I think it's quite… cheap?"
Leo's facial expression distorted, "Why? Is 100 years of lifespan per night too cheap?"
"I mean… Sir, we should consider the perks of our facilities. Firstly, our hotel offers cultivation services. For example, the private yoga rooms are connected to a stream of holy water."
Dongfang Mei referred to the newly created holy water fountain, where the source of Qi and electricity of this hotel came from. She continued.
"Our customers can drink them for free! Drinking a mouthful of holy water gives the same Qi as cultivating at the pylon tower for a year! The fitness center also features unique training dummies and correction machines that adjust one's martial techniques! Training in such a facility for one day is more beneficial than training on their own for 10 years! Such privileges require a high price to pay. This doesn't include the luxurious suites where our customers can fully relax and enjoy their time. If I may suggest, a day of rent should be at least 10,000 YOL to make it worth it! Otherwise, every commoner and their chickens will be swarming this place and ruin our hotel!"
"…I see."
Leo nodded in acknowledgment. At first, he wanted the hotel to be accessible to all commoners so that they would be motivated to start cultivating. However, judging from the local standard, 10 years of lifespan seemed too cheap for such opportunities.
"How about 5,000 for regular suites, 20,000 for grand suites, and 50,000 for presidential suites?"
"That's more reasonable for a promotion. However, the full price should be 10,000/30,000/100,000. In the future, more immortals will emerge. I'm sure a few thousand years of lifespan will become cheap changes to them. Well, I'm also an immortal, so I know how easy it is to increase our life expectancy."
"…If you say so. Okay."
"Oh, I almost forgot. About the currency, sir. Since you normally trade one essence stone for one year of lifespan, I suggest we standardize essence stones as the local currency. One YOL is one essence stone. Is that okay with you?"
"Suit yourself. But wait, won't the price of our hotel be too cheap then? 10,000 essence stones per night?"
Dongfang Mei widely grinned, "Don't you need soul stones? I heard you have been mass-minting soul stones in the workshops."
"…"
Indeed, Leo had been printing soul stones to trade with people from the Fate Stadium. He hadn't visited that place for a long time.
In the end, Leo let Dongfang Mei run the hotel as its general manager or the CEO. Xu Nuan ended up being appointed as an accountant, and she would be in charge of managing the hotel's budget and finances.
As for the wedding, Dongfang Mei requested a week of preparation. They would also need to start sending invitation letters to their friends and families.
.
.
"Hey, have you heard?"
"Again? The new building, right?"
"Yeah, that. It's the building that we can't enter."
"I heard they aren't open for business yet."
"I know, but the lord's wedding ceremony date has been decided. I think they will hold the ceremony there."
As usual, poor workers and cultivators in the shopping mall gathered on the 2nd and 3rd floor, enjoying the fresh air from the air conditioners and absorbing mild lightning element Qi from electric outlets. Although they couldn't get as much Qi as the pylon tower's seats, they preferred this place because of the relaxing environment.
As for elders and rich cultivators, they usually stayed in either the fourth-floor casino or the first-floor restaurants. Only weirdoes and studious cultivators remained in one of the fifth floor's workshops, uninterested in worldly affairs.
In a small domain, news spread fast. Within a few hours, everybody heard about the wedding schedule. Fortunately, they heard about it a few months ago, and they had been preparing gifts for this occasion.
However, the new residents of this domain, aka the elves, had never heard about it. Most of the remaining elves were women and children. Their elders and men either died rioting or returned home three weeks ago.
A dozen elf women disguised as humans and blended into the crowd inside the shopping mall. When they heard about the wedding, their women's instinct kicked in.
They were jealous of the bride. They wished their husbands or future boyfriends would host a big wedding ceremony for them. Driven by emotion, they spent a whole day eavesdropping everybody.
The next day, the hotel's housekeepers brought leaflets to the shopping mall. They plastered them on every wall on every floor, advertising the wedding schedule.
The wedding would be held at the newly built hotel. All official employees could freely attend and enjoy free food and drinks. However, they were expected to bring gifts for the groom and bride according to their tradition.
Some of the elves stole a few leaflets from the walls. They carried them back to their new village in the slum district to inform their colleagues.
.
.
Meanwhile, the bride had no idea what Leo was doing. She and Ivy toured the continent and arrived at the former home of the Joyous Yin Yang Sect and Tappaya City.
As Milo's people had abducted the local cultivators and civilians there, the sect was deserted. Only weird creatures remained behind.
In an abandoned ranch, Esen inspected the local bulls and realized what they were.
"Ah, it has been a long time. So, they're still around."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmlightsnοvεl Ivy gazed at the bulls in front of Esen. Her expression was complicated.
"Spirit Bulls? If I remember correctly, the only good thing about them is their urine. Their meat is a bit meh compared to the supreme beef in the restaurants. Are we taking them with us?"
"Of course. These bulls are necessary for my world tree. Their urine will be the best fertilizer. Actually, let's take the whole ranch with us. Can you help me?"
"…"
Ivy was reluctant as she knew how smelly the spirit bull's urine was. Moreover, these spirit bulls were infamous for their nasty behavior – They enjoyed consummating with other races, especially humanoid creatures!
She knew the reason why the Joyous Yin-Yang Sect kept these animals. Their purposes were solely for wild entertainment!
The bulls finally noticed the gender of Ivy and Esen. They lewdly snorted and stood on two feet. At the bottom, their pink organ extended like an elephant tusk.
Ivy and Esen clicked their tongue in disgust. The latter snapped her fingers and activated one of her dao domains.
SNAP
The bulls flinched for a moment before they all collapsed on the ground, falling asleep.
Esen sighed and waved her hands. A hundred fat bulls floated and followed Esen.
"Let's go home. We're done here."
Ivy nodded. She copied Esen and carried the rest of the herd, "By the way, Your Majesty. Where are we keeping them? The unicorn's barn?"
"Nah," Esen thought of the pervert cow woman. Sierra's face came to her mind. "We have a lewd cow at home. She might like them. They're from a similar species, right?"
"OHHHH!!" Ivy remembered Sierra. She also wondered how the cow woman would react. "Good idea! Let's bring these guys to her."
The duo flew home, carrying souvenirs for Leo. They, too, would be in for a surprise.

DEZNUTS Council, Home Planet of Eleanor
Ellen's troops reclaimed Eleanor's territory without an issue. As soon as she returned, Ellen declared that Leo murdered Eleanor.
This news enraged all elves. The divine elf, high elf, forest elf, and dark elf population vowed to avenge their matriarch. As such, more people volunteered to join Ellen's army.
Milo also brought a piece of similar news to his kin. As most Fenrir was loyal to Eleanor, they also joined Milo's troops, preparing to for a new fight.
Meanwhile, Simba seized this opportunity to visit Ester's planet to find clues about his wife. He arrived home and found traces of disaster.
"…"
Simba remained silent while he levitated in the sky, gazing at the new lakes and sunken lands. The place where his house once existed was no longer there.
In addition, there was a strange gate not far from the ruined fortress.
Simba narrowed his eyes as he saw several golems crossing the portal. When he looked carefully, he found that the golems looked like high elves of this world.
Curious, Simba approached the portal.
