Chapter 419: Transfer of Ownership (2/2)
Without the slightest hesitation, he turned around and went toward the store's door.
”Just wait and see… The entire district will soon start selling my family Fasting Pills, and when that time comes, people will rush for it, and your restaurant will be left deserted. Just wait, you will soon become the laughingstock of the entire Heavenly Mist City.”
As he walked toward the entrance, Nangong Ming slightly turned his head and sneered at them.
When he intended to mock them further, he saw Bu Fang raise the black wok once again, and his heart shuddered. This time, he turned around and left without the slightest hesitation.
The store became quiet and peaceful once again.
However, the store which had been clean and neat had become dirty and filled with debris.
Yang Meiji sighed as she looked at the mess all around; she had already grown accustomed to such situations.
After she expressed her gratitude to Bu Fang, she rolled up her sleeves and began to clean the store. The tables and chairs had been shattered, and the floor was riddled with potholes. The store did not have a protective array, so it wasn't able to withstand the destruction wrought by the battle involving a Supreme-Being expert. After she worked for a while, the store became clean and tidy once again.
However, it didn't have any chairs or tables, leaving it quite empty.
”Esteemed customer, I'm sorry for letting you witness such an unsightly scene,” Yang Meiji apologized to Bu Fang.
Her complexion was somewhat pale and ugly. She quickly took a porcelain bottle from her Spatial Spirit Tool and took a round pill from within it, which she proceeded to swallow.
Bu Fang looked at Yang Meiji and took an Oyster Pancake from his system dimensional storage, which he then threw it at her.
”Eat it. It will help you recover your true energy faster than that pill,” said Bu Fang.
When Yang Meiji caught the Oyster Pancake, she was quite stunned.
”What is this thing? it's quite fragrant. Is it edible?”
Yang Meiji anxiously glanced at Bu Fang before taking a bite out of the Oyster Pancake. Her eyes instantly contracted, leaving them extremely round, and they were quite filled with incredulity and shock.
It was too delicious!
She had never tasted such a delicious food!
After she had taken a mouthful of the Oyster Pancake, she could no longer stop herself and ate the rest in several mouthfuls.
While eating the luxurious oyster within the Oyster Pancake, she was so moved that she almost wept.
Growing up in the Heavenly Mist City, all she ate were Multi-Taste Fasting Pills. This was because every restaurant in the city had gone bankrupt. It was only her family restaurant that remained.
However, the Cloud Mist Restaurant didn't have a chef, so how could it cook a delicious dish?
It had been a really long time since she had eaten a dish that was able to move her so much that she almost wept.
As Yang Meiji ate, her huge body trembled. It seemed like she was sobbing spasmodically, making evident how moved she was.
”You must have heard what that person has said before he left,” Bu Fang looked at the moved Yang Meiji and said.
Yang Meiji was taken aback, and her complexion turned gloomy once again.
”I heard what he said. When the area surrounding the restaurant gets filled with elixir stores selling Multi-Taste Fasting Pills, the Cloud Mist Restaurant will truly become a laughingstock for everyone,” Yang Meiji said, with a bitter tone.
She knew that she didn't have enough talent to become a chef; opening this restaurant had only been supported by her conviction.
As Nangong Ming had said, she only had a talent in alchemy. She was already a three-mark alchemist and a disciple of the grandmaster Xuan Bei.
”Do you want the Cloud Mist Restaurant to become a laughingstock?” Bu Fang asked earnestly.
Yang Meiji was taken aback for a moment, and then she became somewhat agitated.
”Of course I don't want that. Cloud Mist Restaurant is the fruit of my father's painstaking efforts. How could I let the Cloud Mist Restaurant become the Heavenly Mist City's laughingstock? However, it's truly impossible to run a restaurant In the Heavenly Mist City as is.” After Yang Meiji had calmed down, she was overwhelmed by a feeling of powerlessness.
Bu Fang carefully observed the Cloud Mist Restaurant, and he was quite satisfied with it.
He was just looking for a store. Wasn't the Cloud Mist Restaurant quite appropriate?
”I have a solution that will prevent the Cloud Mist Restaurant from becoming a laughingstock to the Heavenly Mist City's citizens,” Bu Fang gravely said to Yang Meiji.
”What solution?” Yang Meiji asked in excitement as her huge body trembled.
Bu Fang didn't reply her immediately, and instead, he clasped his hands behind his back and paced around within the store for a while, and then he said, ”You just need to give me the Cloud Mist Restaurant.”
Yang Meiji was taken aback for a moment before a trace of anger appeared on her face ”You also want to seize my Cloud Mist Restaurant? do you want to open an elixir store? I, Yang Meiji, will definitely not let such thing happen.”
She had not expected Bu Fang to be after her Cloud Mist Restaurant as well, so she was mad because she felt that she was cheated by him.
Bu Fang only looked at her peculiarly.
”Who said that I want to open an elixir store? I want to open a… restaurant. However, I must be this restaurant's owner...” Bu Fang calmly said.
The system's mission required him to open a branch store, so he had to become the restaurant's owner. If he was to help the Cloud Mist Restaurant, he had to be its owner.
This matter was also beneficial to her because Bu Fang had already realized Yang Meiji wasn't suited to run a restaurant.
”Since you will be opening a restaurant, then I will accept it, but only if you accept my conditions.”
The fact that she didn't reject him, instead she immediately agreed, had exceeded Bu Fang's imagination. This left him hesitant.
”Speak, what conditions?” Bu Fang asked.
Yang Meiji was so excited that her entire body trembled. ”First, it must still be named the Cloud Mist Restaurant; and second, if you are unable to save this restaurant, you must return it back to me.”
Bu Fang furrowed his brows and gazed at Yang Meiji deeply for a while before he agreed and said, ”Ok. However, you will surely not have the opportunity to take it back. Moreover, in the end, you will discover that those who will be unable to run a business won't be restaurants; it will be elixir stores.”
