477 The Owner Bus Stores Beautiful Woman (1/2)
After they had eaten and drunk to their fill, the store began its business for the day.
A loud creak resounded as Bu Fang opened the store's bronze gate. As soon as the gate was opened, warm sunrays surged into the store and shone on Bu Fang, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes.
There was a large stream of people outside as the elixir stores in the district had been hurriedly trying to sell some elixirs before the Cloud Mist Restaurant opened.
Their prices for these elixirs had become quite low because of Bu Fang's store, but it was still enough to attract some customers. Doing business like this was quite difficult for the elixir stores, but it was not so bad that it caused them to lose their capitals.
They were some customers who came to the district just to buy elixirs, after all.
Although the Cloud Mist Restaurant was already quite famous in the Heavenly Mist City, many people still didn't have a proper understanding of it. After all, Heavenly Mist City was quite big, covering a large expanse.
The district in which the Cloud Mist Restaurant was situated was administrated by the Nangong Family. Beside the Nangong Family, there were many other big families in the city: Lin Family, Zhang Family, City Lord's Palace, and other small families.
It was the collaboration between these families that formed the flourishing city called the Heavenly Mist City.
The Cloud Mist Restaurant wasn't too prominent as it was just a restaurant in a small district. Its reputation wasn't even on par with some high-grade elixir stores like the Flowing Cloud Store, which was one of the Heavenly Mist City's top-notch elixir stores. Compared to this store, the Cloud Mist Restaurant was still lacking.
There was no one in Heavenly Mist City who had not heard of the Flowing Cloud Store before, and that was the case in other cities as well. The Flowing Cloud Store could even be considered outstanding when compared with the Pill Palace or the other two Pill Cities' elixirs stores.
”Temporary mission issued: In three months, the host must spread the Cloud Mist Restaurant's name throughout the entire Heavenly Mist City, and it should be known by every citizen of the city. Mission Reward: Spicy Diced Chicken's recipe.”
As Bu Fang was enjoying the warm sun rays, the system's earnest and solemn voice suddenly resounded in his mind.
The system had suddenly issued another temporary mission on such a beautiful morning. It really was going too far with this.
Bu Fang's mouth twitched, and he let out a long breath.
This mission wasn't easy. Spreading the Cloud Mist Restaurant's name throughout Heavenly Mist City... and it should be known by every citizen of the city… Such difficulty. This wasn't something that could be achieved by cooking Stinky Tofu in front of his store.
Bu Fang felt another headache because of this matter. Restaurants were quite negligible existences in the Heavenly Mist City, so to spread its name through the whole city, he must make out of it a store which wasn't in any way inferior to a top-notch elixir store like the Flowing Cloud Store.
Such a task would certainly be quite difficult, and he currently did not have any idea how he would achieve it.
”Owner Bu, are you starting business now?”
The owner of the elixir store closest to his restaurant greeted him after watching Bu Fang open the restaurant's bronze gate.
Bu Fang nodded at him, the turned around and went back into the restaurant.
The elixir store's owner chuckled lightly before he collected the elixirs' jade bottles in display and eagerly followed the stream of people pouring into Bu Fang's store.
Although the Cloud Mist Restaurant did not have many dishes, the few dishes it did have all tasted quite delicious. More importantly, those who ate Owner Bu's dishes discovered that the dishes produced the same marvelous effects that elixirs did.
Not only were the dishes delicious, but they were also capable of increasing one's true energy. For them, this news was an extremely splendid one. Were they not buying elixirs just to strengthen their cultivation? Since they now had the opportunity to enjoy a delicacy while increasing their cultivation at the same time, how could they not treasure it?
The number of people pouring into the store kept increasing, and soon, the store was as busy as a market. Many customers were ordering dishes excitedly.
After Nethery had eaten and drank her fill, she began to do her job. Although she was a glutton, she wasn't stupid; she understood what she had to do.
Her aloof temperament and ice-cold expression attracted many customers.
Although many of them had suffered because of her the previous day, that was not the case for most of them. Many customers were mesmerized by her extremely beautiful face.
She was a goddess after all, one who wasn't in any way inferior to the Nangong goddess. Hence, how could the crowd not admire her?
However, because of the rumors about her that had spread among customers, they only admired her with their eyes; they had all heard how stupid trying to take liberties with her would be.
Since there was no one provoking her, Nethery also did not cause trouble. Her thoughts were simple. She knew that if she did everything that Bu Fang asked of her, she would get food to eat.
Her ideal life was quite simple.
After working at the job for a while, Nethery had adapted to it. She was now able to easily report the name of the dish that was ordered.
Bu Fang was quite satisfied with her progress.
The store's business carried on properly as usual.
...
In the Nangong Family's courtyard.
Nangong Wan wore a pink dress, and her long hair hung loosely behind her like a waterfall. Her exquisite face was filled with a trace of shock and disbelief, and her ruddy lips were parted slightly.
”Did you just say that the old dog, Nangong Xuanhe, died?”
Nangong Xuanhe was the main culprit for the state in which their Nangong Family had ended in. Had he just died like that? Only dozens of days had passed, right?
”It isn't just Nangong Xuanhe who passed away; Nangong Xuanying also died. As for Nangong Xuanhu, I crippled him and took back our Nangong Family,” Nangong Wuque said proudly, his head smugly held high, like a proud rooster's.
Nangong Wan stared at her brother in astonishment. She clearly understood Nangong Wuque's personality. Had his clown-like personality changed because of what he went through?
If that was the case, then it really was something worth celebrating.
”Oh, right. Little Wan, didn't that old dog Nangong Xuanhe set up an engagement for you? Don't worry; that sissy, Mu Chenfeng, already died in the secret realm, so you aren't bound by any engagement now,” Nangong Wuque said, donning a smile.
Nangong Wan's pretty eyes couldn't help but light up when she heard this.
”Is it true? Did Mu Chenfeng really die?”
”It's true. Some unforeseen circumstances occurred in the secret realm, and many people died. As for your brother, I… I only managed to survive after going through countless difficulties and killing countless enemies in my way,” said Nangong Family solemnly, without feeling a sliver of shame.
