479 My sister... You Truly Had No Idea About The Truth (1/2)

Nangong Wuque hummed a song as he strolled through the Nangong Family's courtyard, and his face was brimming with satisfaction. The courtyard was filled with many curved paths, but the environment was excellent; it had all kind of trees. As the sun shone down on the leaves littering the ground, it made the ground seem as if it was littered with shiny pieces of gold.

Suddenly, Nangong Wuque stopped humming, and his body trembled and shivered as though he had been struck by lightning.

”Hold on… did I miss something? That lassie, Little Wan, went to Old Bu's store, didn't she? Would she not end up meeting that terrifying woman?” Nangong Wuque pondered, suddenly feeling worried for Nangong Wan.

He clearly understood how frightening the Netherworld woman was; whenever he recalled the terrifying pressure that forced him to lie down, unable to budge, his heart would palpitate in fear.

If Little Wan did not act tactfully and ended up provoking that woman, then… the consequences would be too horrible to contemplate.

He began to nurse a headache over this concern.

A while ago, he was engrossed in showing off in front of Nangong Wan and ended up forgetting to inform her of such an important matter. ”Lassie, please be safe and sound!”

At that moment, nothing else could rouse his anxiety as much as this issue, so he turned around and rushed out of the courtyard. Nangong Wuque moved really fast because he was quite worried about Nangong Wan.

”Patriarch, the City Lord has invited you to his palace to discuss some important matters.”

An elder, who had just come in through the gate, saw Nangong Wuque and waved his hand before he mentioned the invitation.

”I'm busy now, so postpone it.” Nangong Wuque rushed out without stopping for a single moment; the elder was just barely able to hear a few words before Nangong Wuque dashed right by him and rushed away.

Postpone it? How can I postpone it?

The elder was lost for words. ”As soon as the City Lord sends someone to invite you over, you discard your job and leave; you even want me to help you postpone it...”

Nangong Wuque was still the old Nangong Wuque, after all; he was as unreliable now as he was before.

.....

Nangong Wan, who had already calmed down, smiled, looked at Bu Fang and said, ”Owner Bu, how would you like me to thank you?”

When the spectating customers heard Nangong Wan say that, their entire bodies shivered. She was too charming and alluring. Since the goddess had used such a sweet voice to say such words, how could anyone bear it?

Bu Fang watched Nangong Wan in astonishment. What was that woman up to, this time? If you want to have a meal, then you should just say so. Why are you bringing up such matters?

”Nevermind that. Saving Nangong Wuque was just something I did in passing. What do you want to eat? Tell me,” Bu Fang said expressionlessly.

Saving Nangong Wuque really was something he did it passing, and he did it with just a bowl of Dragon Blood Rice; it wasn't like he experienced any hardship or difficulty while doing so.

Back then, if what he needed to save Nangong Wuque was something like a hundred jars of Buddha Jumps Over The Wall Soup, then he could have turned around and left decisively.

A hundred jars of the Buddha Jumps Over The Wall Soup… even if that clown Nangong Wuque was sold, he wouldn't fetch as many crystals as those jars of soup would.

Although Nangong Wan wanted to say more on that matter, she just blinked her pretty eyes and placed her order. ”Okay, Owner Bu; serve me a jar of Buddha Jumps Over The Wall Soup.”

Owner Bu's Buddha Jumps Over The Wall Soup was a peerless delicacy; it was the most delicious dish she had ever eaten.

”Ok, wait for a while,” said Bu Fang.

After he had spoken, he turned around and went to the kitchen.

When Bu Fang left, Nangong Wan shifted her gaze to Nethery, who was sitting on a chair not far from her.

The gazes of both women met in mid-air, and there seemed to be arcs of lightning flickering between them. That was probably the rumored hostility between women.

The atmosphere in the store swiftly turned awkward.

Although the remaining customers in the store wanted to keep watching the spectacle, they had already eaten their dishes; moreover, they felt uncomfortable due to the store's awkward atmosphere.

Goosebumps sprouted all over their bodies whenever the aloof goddess' ice-cold gaze swept past them.

It was too scary...

The customers only hesitated for three seconds before they turned around and left the store.

Only Nangong Wan remained sitting in the store.

After a short while, a rich fragrance wafted out of the kitchen and assaulted their noses.

”Nethery, serve the dish.”

Bu Fang's voice rang out of the kitchen's windows.

Nethery's appetite had been roused by the fragrance, and when she heard Bu Fang's order, she stood up immediately and instantly appeared in front of the kitchen. It was as though she had teleported.

A look of surprise was on Bu Fang's face as he watched the extremely excited Nethery. He could not help but feel that the woman was up to something again.
