”What? Did you just say that Owner Bu left the Imperial Capital and traveled out again?”
Ni Yan looked at Ouyang Xiaoyi whose complexion was quite strange. After some questioning, Xiaoyi nodded her head in affirmation.
Xiaoyi was already accustomed to this life as Bu Fang had been traveling around quite frequently. Bu Fang rarely stayed in the store. Every time he came back, he would invent a new dish. It could be seen that Bu Fang was traveling out in order to look for inspiration to create a new dish.
Ni Yan sighed and a disappointed expression appeared on her face. She wanted to meet Owner Bu and taste one of his handmade dishes. However, this lassie in front of her didn't know where he ran off to.
She decided to let it go. She could only hope that fate would let them meet again.
Ni Yan became more relaxed and at ease after she got over it. A relieved smile blossomed on her beautiful face.
After bidding farewell to Ouyang Xiaoyi and Xiao Xiaolong, Ni Yan turned around and left the store. Her beautiful figure quickly disappeared into the bustling streets of the Imperial Capital.
It was time for her to leave the Southern Region.
...
Staying in a room which cost him fifty pieces of crystals a night, Bu Fang felt extremely comfortable. It seemed as though he truly got what he paid for. No matter if it was the facilities or the environment, all of it made Bu Fang's stay quite comfortable.
On the next day, he got up early and checked out of the inn. However, the one in charge of checking him out wasn't the woman he saw yesterday.
Bu Fang was slightly disappointed as he wanted to ask her about that Cloud Mist Restaurant.
After he checked out, Bu Fang left that magnificent inn and walked around in the streets of Heavenly Mist City. He walked around with directions in mind, the directions were provided by that woman the day before.
Heavenly Mist City was huge. There were rows upon rows of buildings on the side of the street. There were countless streets and paths which crisscrossed. Bu Fang felt as though he was walking through a labyrinth when he walked along the streets of Heavenly Mist City.
On the streets, there were countless carts which were pulled by various spirit beasts. Their speed was extremely swift as they traveled along the road.
The technologies and prosperity inside Heavenly Mist City were several grades higher than that of the Light Wind Imperial Capital.
There were countless elixir stores on the side of the street and all of their owners were Alchemists.
One shouldn't look at alchemy as an occupation to get rich quickly. In fact, those who were able to make money were few in number. Alchemy had a certain rate of failure. The moment they failed, all of their resources and effort would be wasted.
Alchemy was a job with high risks. It was extremely difficult to sell elixirs in Heavenly Mist City as the competition between stores was extremely intense.
When he was passing by the stores on the street, Bu Fang was almost pulled into them by some fervent servants.
When they were about to drag him into the store, Bu Fang had a serious and cold expression on his face as he ruthlessly rejected them.
Bu Fang preferred his dishes over elixirs.
”The Cloud Mist Restaurant… It seems like I have to walk straight up this path in order to reach it.” Bu Fang looked at the address and furrowed his brows.
Bu Fang, who had a golden mantis shrimp laying and sleeping on his shoulder, continued walking toward the store.
The moment he walked further on that path, the noise gradually disappeared. The tall buildings on the side of the road were replaced by small houses.
The houses were slightly broken and they seemed to be quite old. They were the complete opposite of the tall buildings Bu Fang saw earlier.
After Bu Fang saw those houses, a trace of excitement appeared on his face. It seemed like he had almost reached his destination. He took several steps forward and finally saw a restaurant in front of him.
The Cloud Mist Restaurant.
A signboard was hung in front of the door of that restaurant. However, the thing which was out of his expectations was that the last restaurant in Heavenly Mist City was deserted. There wasn't even a single customer in the store.
As the sole restaurant in the city, it didn't have any competitors. Why were there no customers?
Bu Fang was slightly puzzled. He eventually entered the restaurant. The hygiene of the restaurant wasn't bad and it didn't have the stale and moldy odor most old houses would have. Although there wasn't a single customer in the store, the tables were clean and neat.
There were several spirit trees growing in the store, The trees were full of leaves and they emitted spiritual energy. The air within the restaurant became even fresher than the outside air.
There was a tall and muscular man in front of the counter of the restaurant.
Although the sound of Bu Fang's footsteps was faint when he entered the store, the body of the man shook and his eyes slightly twitched. He raised his head and looked at Bu Fang.
”I welcome you to the Cloud Mist Restaurant. May I ask what you require of us?”
The mild voice of a woman resounded out and that sturdy man moved his body. He walked out of the counter and stood before Bu Fang.
Bu Fang started sizing up the person before him as he furrowed his brows.
Did he make a mistake? That woman said that her friend opened the store. That friend of hers should be a woman...
Why would a muscular man appear before him?
That muscular man was taken aback when he saw that Bu Fang was standing there in a daze. In order to get his attention, he called out to Bu Fang. The moment he opened his mouth, Bu Fang's hair stood erect.
The voice which came from his mouth was that of a woman.
As it turned out, the person standing in front of him was a woman.
Bu Fang never expected that the person who opened the store was really a woman. It seemed like he didn't come to the wrong place.
After he recovered from his initial shock, Bu Fang calmed himself down. He looked for a seat and sat down in front of a table. He shot a look at that woman and said:
