Chapter 339 - The mysterious bellow! (1/2)

”E-Esteemed customer.. do you have.. smaller money? W-We don't have enough change for this...” Heng Wu swallowed his saliva as he reluctantly returned the Superior quality spirit stone to Di Rou. Even if that was something truly valuable and enticing, there was no way that they could keep it!

”What? Hmmm.. now this is a problem...” Di Rou acted like she didn't expect this. In reality, everything was carefully planned for between the three of them, including this scenario where Heng Wu did not accept the Superior quality spirit stone from them.

She then continued, ”We do not have any other smaller money than this, and we also do not want to be in debt. Since this is the case, perhaps we should just be allowed to eat to our heart's content until it reaches the amount equal to the value of this Superior quality spirit stone?” she suggested.

The moment Heng Wu heard this, his blood was drained from his face. If he were to agree, then their Seven Saints Culinary restaurant will become the lunchbox of these three ladies!

What if these ladies were to eat all the expensive food from top to bottom? How could they replenish their stock when their ingredients ran out all the time and they cannot receive any profits at all to hire people to procure their ingredients or even purchase them?

Wouldn't the restaurant go entirely bankrupt?

They must be the loan shark!

”Ah? N-No!” he immediately replied, ”H-How about tonight's dinner is on the house instead? T-There is no need to pay!” forcing a smile with a contorting cheek muscles.

This was the only way out for them, and if these ladies did not agree, then they would truly be doomed! In the future, he will make sure to forbid customers from paying with a Superior quality spirit stone... assuming that they have one anyway.

”It's on the house?” Di Rou looked at Xiahou Yu and Xu Rong, as if they had already expected this and nearly bursted into laughter.

Though they already felt guilty from doing this, this was the only way for them to procure those huge lists of ingredients that Duan Li tasked them to get!

”Then, we shall continue to make orders!” Di Rou nodded and answered with a poker face, as if unable to see that the old butler in front of her was currently facing the greatest crisis ever in his life!

”Eh? P-Please Esteemed customers... don't do this!” Heng Wu started to beg. He knew where the direction was going with this one.

Damn it! What did I do in my past lives to deserve this torture? Oh Heavens! Please send me your guiding light!

”As long as our restaurant does not have to go into debt with you, then we are willing to do anything! Please understand that we also can't allow you to eat as you want... or we'll go bankrupt!” Heng Wu said, nearly bawling his tears out.

Seeing that the old butler has finally submitted, a smile crept up on Di Rou's lips.

Success!

”Well, if you insist. Here are the lists of ingredients that we want to procure within one week!” Di Rou passed onto Heng Wu the lists of ingredients that she received from Duan Li.

She then continued, ”As long as you guys are able to procure them all, then there is no need for the restaurant to pay the remainder to us. You can take that Superior quality spirit stone with you now, and do whatever you want with it.”

”W-What?!” once again, Heng Wu felt another shock to his old heart and almost fainted.

To give them the Superior quality spirit stone and stating that they they could use it however they like was the same as gaining ownership of it!

This was a total value of reaching the thousands of High quality spirit stones! With that staggering amount of money, they could do anything they want!

So what if the lists of ingredients was a lot and hard to come by?

What Danger zone?

What Forbidden f*cking region?!

Hah! Here's my middle finger!

The money they have right now would be enough to hire several experts at the Nascent Soul realm at once to personally fetch the ingredients on the field like a bunch of cheap labourers! In fact, after deducting all the possible expenses, they would still be earning profits of several hundreds of High quality spirit stones!

This was an unprecedented deal! A deal that could only happen once every few thousand years!

Was it because I am too handsome that the Heavens gave me this golden opportunity? That does seems to be the case!

Hais!

With his eyes renewed with extreme determination, and the flames of life began to burn like the second sun, Heng Wu immediately bowed his head!

”Esteemed customers! This is truly nothing too big of a deal for us! Hahahahaha! In fact, please have a seat again, tonight, everything will be on the house!”

...

At the Southern region of the Jiu Empire, Fei Longwei and Wei Shang managed to rescue the kidnapped villagers near the lodging zone in the village.

As the village was still under assault by the bandits, it was not safe to roam around freely outside. Thus, they had to pick one inn and hid the rescued villagers there for the time being. They also stationed some of Cucko's minions to keep on a lookout while they head out to another area to help the rest of the villagers.
