Chapter 207: Owner Bu… Do You Know This Serpent-Woman?

The wine... there definitely weren't any left today. The gaze that Wu Yunbai cast toward Bu Fang was filled with grief. Still, it was useless, no matter how distressed she was.

”There are plenty of other gourmet delicacies in the store. You can give those a try. If you want to order anything… just tell this lassie.”

Bu Fang calmly patted Ouyang Xiaoyi's head, advertised his dishes, and then turned around to head back into the kitchen.

Ji Chengxue walked around in familiarity and found a spot near the Five Stripes Path-Understanding Tree. A fresh sense of spirit energy drifted in the surrounding, alongside a touch of mystifying energy waves.

Ji Chengxue held his hands behind his back and carefully inspected the path-understanding tree with glistening eyes.

Outside of the store, intrusive glances and forces of energy hidden in the dark had withdrawn. The Battle-Saints had clearly detected that the incident this time was unrelated to the Five Stripes Path-Understanding Tree, and hence left one after another. The path-understanding tree had yet to ripen and bear fruit, so they didn't want to get involved at this point.

Wu Yunbai ordered a few dishes. Even though the prices of these dishes were hard to swallow, as a mysterious young villa master who instilled fear in the Celestial Arcanum Sect, she was not short of crystals. Since she couldn't obtain the lotus from Bu Fang, she vented out a stomach full of anger on the food instead.

Ni Yan left with Ye Ziling. Ni Yan was in a hurry to head back to the inn and consolidate her recently strengthened cultivation, whereas Ye Ziling merely tagged along with Ni Yan.

The store became quite deserted at this point. The queue was gone and the three Ouyang barbarians scuttled away merrily. Having made some gains, they were eager to pass on the wonderful news to their father.

The rich aroma of food quickly drifted out of the kitchen. Such familiar scent broke off Ji Chengxue's gaze at the Five Stripes Path-Understanding Tree and stirred his emotions.

”Owner Bu's cooking skills have improved. The fragrance of his dishes is all the more alluring.” Ji Chengxue took in a deep breath and sighed.

Lian Fu pinched his orchid-shaped fingers and sat on the side, still immersed in nostalgia. This store… once contained the late emperor's energy. Even though it was long gone, Lian Fu still couldn't help but feel certain illusions and dive in a sea of blues.

Evoked of memories from the past by these familiar sights, he pinched his orchid-shaped fingers and sniffled quietly.

Ji Chengxue peered at him helplessly.

The rich scent of meat fragrance rapidly spread in the air. Ouyang Xiaoyi energetically carried the Red Braised Meat to Ji Chengxue's spot and placed it in front of him.

Bu Fang also walked out of the kitchen, carrying a jar of Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine.

Ji Chengxue's eyes sparkled and couldn't refrain from licking his lips. It has been a long time since he last drank Owner Bu's wine and ate his dishes. He had such a craving.

”So fragrant.”

Ji Chengxue edged his nose near the Red Braised Meat and inhaled, looking completely intoxicated as he remarked.

Bu Fang's Red Braised Meat was extremely aromatic, even attracting the attention of Wu Yunbai, who angrily sat afar.

He picked up a piece of glossy, flushed Red Braised Meat that steamed with heat and fragrance and placed it into his mouth. As he chewed, he could sense the tangy friction between his teeth and the tender meat, making him feel elated inside.

A piece of meat down his stomach and a swig of Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine, he felt jubilated all over.

Bu Fang noticed the satisfied expression on Ji Chengxue, curled the corners of his mouth, and turned to head back to the kitchen.

The bald long monk stepped into the alleyway with a smile on his face. As he charged toward the store, a big black dog lying by the entrance hit his eyes.

The young monk's eyes glistened and he licked his lips.

”What a chubby dog. It must be very tasty.”

The catnapping Blacky suddenly felt shivers down its spine, as if it detected an ill-willed gaze fall upon it. It opened its doggy eyes and caught sight of the greedy ogle of a… monk.

What the… what was up with this look? The black dog glared its eyes. This was the first time someone dared to gaze at this lord dog as if it was a delicacy… Was the bald donkey seeking death?

The young monk patted his baldy head, and the muscles on his face lumped into a smile.

”Red Braised Dog Meat? Should be pretty good… It is hard to come by such a fat dog in the Imperial City. But never mind, let me finish off that old fox, Zhao Musheng's assignment, first.”

The young monk smacked his mouth. What a pity. He glanced at Blacky with a trace of regret and walked into the store shaking his head.

Blacky was dumbfounded. This bald donkey… was up to no good? What was up with your regretful expression?
