Chapter 397: Archaic Peak Appraisal Firm
Iron-Skinned Dog! All of Aowu Shop’s guards! Including Aowu Shop’s Supervisor Lin!
All killed!
Tu Xiong and the group of young men were shocked.
Could it be…?! A thought struck Tu Xiong’s mind, looking once more in the direction Huang Xiaolong disappeared.
“Who was it? Who actually dared to kill all of Aowu Shop’s guards?” Tu Xiong asked to verify his suspicion.
“Rumors say that a black-haired young man went to the Aowu Shop to buy pill refinement ingredients and there was a seven or eight-year-old small child with him that killed those people!” That person who ran out said.
“A, a seven or eight-year-old child?!” One of the young men exclaimed, “Impossible, right? The Aowu Shop’s guards are all Xiantian realm experts!”
The other young men also showed disbelieving expressions. A seven, eight-year-old small child could kill Xiantian experts?!
In their eyes, this was nothing but fantasy.
That young man that ran out with the news said, “Don’t say you don’t believe, I myself cannot believe, but there are witnesses. It really was a small kid that killed all those guards, furthermore, he used one punch! That small kid killed those Xiantian guards with one punch!”
The young men looked at each other, finding it harder to believe such a tale.
A seven to eight-year-old killed a Xiantian realm expert with just one punch? That was just ludicrous!
By this time, Huang Xiaolong’s group arrived at a long food street after leaving the pill refinement trading market.
In this South Oblast City, there was a unique street where shops offered a variety of food and snacks, whereas big and small restaurants lined the street side by side.
Entering the Food Street, various tantalizing scents teased the senses of passersby. Lil’ Tian’s eyes were sparkling like stars in the night sky.
“Big brother, I want that one!” Lil’ Tian cried out, a small finger pointed at a small shop not far away that was selling a snack that looked like some kind of bird’s egg. Just that its size was bigger than normal bird eggs.
The few of them walked towards that stall.
“What kind of eggs are these?” Huang Xiaolong asked the elderly in front of the stall.
The elderly introduced enthusiastically, “These eggs are from a kind of bird called greenwind bird, we marinate it in our own special way, it’s a little salty, but it’s delicious. One for one silver coin only.”
One gold coin was equivalent to one hundred silver coin. Thus, one silver coin was considered very cheap.
Huang Xiaolong took out a dozen gold coins saying, “Then we’ll take all of them.”
Although there were quite a lot of these bird eggs, they would only cost three to four gold coins at most. When the elderly old man wanted to return the extra gold coins back to Huang Xiaolong, Huang Xiaolong stopped him, telling the elderly to keep them. Then, Huang Xiaolong looked at Lil’ Tian, indicating that he can start eating.
Hearing the word ‘eat’, Lil’ Tian couldn’t wait to wolf down the eggs, stuffing his mouth full as incomprehensible noises sounded: “Del-mm-ss, mm-li-cious!”
Huang Xiaolong laughed watching Lil’ Tian. He turned to Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu, “We should also try one.” Picking one of the eggs, Huang Xiaolong took a bite, and indeed, it was savory, as some liquid oozed out in between, the texture wasn’t bad either, reminding him of tea leaf eggs back on Earth.
Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu each took one egg, nodding in agreement that it tasted good. As high-level Saint realm experts, as well as Asura’s gate Left and Right Custodians, Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu’s identities and standing were different, hence, they had never tasted these commoner snacks. Taking a bite, both felt that it was quite good, a distinctive flavor compared to the usual big restaurants.
The elderly at the stall was genuinely frightened watching Lil’ Tian stuffing more than thirty greenwind bird eggs into that small mouth, urging Lil’ Tian, “Little brother, eat slowly, eat slowly, don’t choke!”
To that elderly, he couldn’t afford to be responsible if that eight-year-old kid choked and died due to stuffing himself with more than thirty greenwind bird eggs. Though the incident of someone dying from choking on food had yet to happen on Food Street, then again, who could guarantee that it would never happen.
Huang Xiaolong saw through the elderly commoner’s worry and laughed, reassuring him, “Elder, no need to worry, my younger brother looks small, but he’s very strong. He can even eat ten Tyrant Boar in one go with no problem.”
Ten Tyrant Boars? The stall elderly was stunned, it was obvious that he didn’t believe Huang Xiaolong’s words. Two to three hundred strong adult men could hardly finish ten Tyrant Boars, what more a little kid?
