607 Strip Them As They Come! (2/2)
”What's there to be afraid of… This restaurant is run by me. Anyone who dares to cause trouble here will be stripped and thrown out,” Bu Fang said indifferently as he continued to recline on the chair, with a smile tugging on the corner of his lips.
This overbearing proclamation left Yang Meiji in shock. She opened her mouth to say something, but no words emerged. By now, she was so anxious that sweat dripped continuously down her face.
”Oh, I give up! However, I will be staying in the Cloud Mist Restaurant for a while. After all, this restaurant belongs to my dad. I can't do nothing and watch it get destroyed,” Yang Meiji clenched her big fists and said fiercely.
”Oh, we've still kept your room for you. It's on the second floor,” Bu Fang said.
Seemingly infuriated by Bu Fang's laidback attitude, she stomped into the restaurant. However, upon entering it, she caught sight of Nangong Wuque, who was relishing his Buddha Jumps Over the Wall Soup sitting not too far away. Her angry countenance immediately softened and she even became a little embarrassed.
With her face blushing, she blurted out coquettishly, ”Master Nangong… You… You're here too.”
”Oh, old Yang, it's been so long since I last saw you! Thanks so much for returning me my Heaven and Earth Obsidian Flame, I still hadn't found a chance to thank you properly yet! Order anything you want, it's on me!”
Nangong Wuque said as he laughed heartily upon seeing Yang Meiji.
”No… There's no need, that Heaven and Earth Obsidian Flame belonged to you anyway. It's only right for me to return it to you, I… I still have something on…”
Blushing furiously and feeling extremely embarrassed, she covered her face and fled after saying only two sentences to Nangong Wuque.
Nangong Wuque gave a look of confusion as he chewed on a piece of chicken.
The Nether King with a Chili Strip still in his mouth bellowed with laughter as he looked at Nangong Wuque's confused face. Being extremely perceptive, he already had a clear understanding of the situation.
Yang Meiji had never thought that Nangong Wuque would be in the restaurant. She sprinted up the back stairs leading to the second floor and plastered her back against the wall. She held her hand to her pounding chest and gradually exhaled deeply.
Thinking about how Nangong Wuque invited her for a meal, her face turned red again and her heart was filled with sweetness and warmth.
Hiding behind the wall, she snuck a few covert glances towards Nangong Wuque who was still busy eating. Whenever he felt her gaze on him and looked behind him, she immediately retreated behind the wall again.
Shyly slapping her face to sober up, she climbed to the second floor.
Bu Fang was extremely touched that Yang Meiji came back all the way to Heavenly Mist City just to warn him. However, regarding the news about how he was in danger, he wasn't worried in the slightest.
As he had said, if anyone dared to cause any trouble in the restaurant, Nethery would strip them and Whitey would throw them out.
Bu Fang merely wanted to run his business in peace. He only wished for all his customers to be happy eating his food.
If any troublemakers came, Bu Fang would not show them any mercy.
The one thing that restaurant owners hated most was a troublemaker.
The weather in Heavenly Mist City those few days was gloomy and overcast. The thick heavy clouds would slowly gather as raindrops slowly accumulated in them. When the clouds could no longer hold the weight of the droplets, rain would gush down from the heavens in torrents.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps broke through the droning pitter-patter of rainfall.
Bu Fang opened his eyes lazily. The first thing he saw was a group of people rushing menacingly toward him in the distance. A while later, that crowd of people surrounded the entrance of the restaurant.
Within the restaurant, the attention of many customers was attracted by the overbearing air exuded by the crowd. They all walked to the front of the restaurant and looked on as they continued eating.
There were a lot of people, at least, too many for Nangong Wuque to count.
Amongst the crowd, there were alchemists and natives of the Heavenly Mist City. They held up umbrellas to stave off the rain and stared at Bu Fang with vicious looks in their eyes. The leader of this group was someone whom everyone was familiar with, Xiong Shi. He pursed his lips and led the crowd toward the restaurant, staring at it with a resentful look on his face.
Xiong Shi was an alchemist of Heavenly Shine City. However, before he managed to return to Heavenly Shine City, it was ruthlessly destroyed by the Shura Army. Xiong Shi was now homeless and after hearing what the Shura Sovereign declared, he had a new target to vent his frustrations.
So, all of this was because of this dark horse chef! The chef that defeated him! The humiliation of the past and the animosity would finally be resolved once and for all. In addition, there were many in Heavenly Mist City who harbored feelings of hatred toward Bu Fang, all of whom Xiong Shi was able to gather and form into a group to confront him today.
The goal was to capture Bu Fang and deliver him to the Shura Sovereign. With that, the Shura Sovereign's rage would be appeased and the Shura Army would be withdrawn.
With such strong emotions, the tension in the air seemed to turn solid and it became somewhat tangible.
Still reclining on his chair, Bu Fang gradually opened his eyes fully. He stared emotionlessly at the crowd and stood up slowly. He gave himself a stretch and continued looking calmly at them.
”If you're here to eat, welcome. But, if you're here to cause trouble… I'll have to strip you all and throw you all out. I will strip you as you come. If all of you come, I'll strip the whole lot of you.”
Buzz…
In the kitchen, Whitey's purple eyes began flickering. Half of its head poked out behind the wall as its eyes flashed with incandescent light.
