Chapter 455 - Do Not Disturb a Foodie While Shes Eating, or Else (1/2)

No matter the city, it is a universal truth that restaurants and teahouses are always the liveliest places and therefore the easiest places to acquire information about something.

Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen were currently seated in the liveliest restaurant in Ling Xi Country. Their table was full of different types of dishes and cuisine.

Since Ling Chuxi’s mood had calmed down, her appet.i.te was better as well. She regained her true colors of being a foodie. They had been rus.h.i.+ng onwards day after day. And she indeed did not have a proper meal this whole journey as well.

Ling Chuxi feasted with an elegant demeanor that was breathtaking to behold, whilst paying attention to the variety of conversations held by the diners around her, hoping to pick up on some useful clues.

Suddenly, a noise drifted over from the entrance. The lively restaurant quietened down and then chaos ignited with a loud crash. Ling Chuxi turned her head to have a look. A burly man was chasing after a young man who hastily ran into the restaurant. There was an axe in the burly man’s hand, and he was seething with murderous intent.

“Stand still. You better stand still, if not I will break your leg right off!” yelled the burly man angrily as he chased the young man.

“Are you an idiot? How can you break my leg if I keep running from you? You can only break my leg if I stand still!” retorted the young man in the front who kept running away. A long white flag was raised in his hands reading, “The Iron Mouth And Divine Tooth Number One Fortune Teller Under The Heavens”. Ah, so it turns out that the young man was a fortune teller and one who could talk very well judging from the name of his practice.

‘Hmm. This cheat is no fool,’ concluded Ling Chuxi.

“Your grandmother… How dare you cheat me of my money?! You told me I’d receive a windfall, but I lost everything in the end. If I do not cripple you today, then I will take on your surname,” snarled the burly man as he chased on. Everyone’s figures dodged the both of theirs one by one. The cheat took advantage of his body’s agility and dodged however he could such as between dining tables and looked very much like a dancing fish as he did so.

“I only said that you would receive a windfall, I never said you’d make a fortune from gambling. And I surely never even said that you would not lose all your money. So, what does your current situation have to do with my a*s?” fired back the cheat quite plausibly as he continued dodging with reflexes which were not slow in the slightest.

“Then what about the windfall you predicted? If I do not chance upon a windfall today, I will split you alive,” cursed the burly man in a rage. He wore a look as fierce as a devil upon his face, making everyone surrounding them retreat ninety miles.
