”Mama, look, there's a man coming!”
The kid pointed his little finger at Xu Que the moment he saw him.
The woman rarely had any customers, so she shot up to her feet immediately and timidly addressed Xu Que. ”Mister, would you like…”
She bit her lips and paused mid-sentence when she looked up at Xu Que.
His attire and appearance gave him a unique sense of presence that prompted the woman to think that perhaps he was a rich young master of some noble family!
His bonus charisma points helped as well. In that moment it would be no surprise at all if an average person thought of him as an angel or a white knight!
The woman was dumbstruck for a moment as she took in the sight of this extraordinary man in front of her. How could a nobleman like him end up in this part of the city?
”S-Sir, would you like to buy some meat pies?” asked the woman nervously.
She might have lived in the Imperial City all her life, but she was still just a commoner, so she had never been so up close and personal with upper-class people before. This was why she was suddenly so nervous!
”Hey mister, my mama makes the best meat pies in town! Try it!” said the kid, trying to help his mother.
Xu Que smiled and stroked the kid's head gently. ”I'm not buying meat pies, I want chicken wings!”
”Huh?” The woman froze in confusion and was unable to formulate a replt.
He wanted chicken wings?
Had she heard him right? Who would spend their money on chicken wings?
Xu Que looked at the woman and said, ”Ma'am, picking out the meat and throwing the wings away like this is just too wasteful! Let me teach you my secret recipe for the best grilled chicken wings, then I'll get three pairs of wings for free, how about that?”
”Grilled… grilled chicken wings?” asked the woman, even more bewildered now.
Did he say he was going to grill chicken wings? Who would eat that? There was barely any meat on chicken wings! Wouldn't it be more sensible to grill chicken drumsticks instead?
The boy kept on picking the meat off the chicken wings with his head down while adding, ”mister, try my mama's meat pies! They're really the most delicious pies in the world!”
”I know, I know,” replied Xu Que with a laugh. Then he turned to the woman and said, ”So what do you think? I'll make you an offer. You can just give me two pairs of chicken wings instead of three!”
The woman finally regained her senses and waved her hand and laughed nervously, ”sir, you must be joking! If you want chicken wings I can just give them to you for free! They're not worth any money anyway.”
”That won't do! We from the Exploding Heavens Faction would never cheat or rob anyone! Come on, let me teach you Exploding Heavens Faction's secret recipe for the best grilled chicken wings in the world!”
As he spoke he rolled up his sleeves and pulled out a pile of charcoal and a barbecue grill from the storage in the system. Then he twirled his finger in the air and a small flame appeared at the tip of his finger which lit up the charcoal instantly!
Both mother and child were flabbergasted.
This man was a divine spirit!
But what… what the hell was he trying to do exactly?
The woman's face turned pale and she held her son closer to her immediately as she stared at Xu Que with a face full of apprehension.
Obviously divine cultivators had left a very bad impression on them. This woman's reaction to Xu Que was full of fear and alarm, as if she was concerned that Xu Que might hurt them.
After all, they were just powerless commoners, so they had never had the chance to interact with any immortals at such a personal distance before.
But still, this spirit was acting strange. Why would he want to teach them how to grill chicken wings? Even lowly mortals like themselves didn't eat chicken wings, so naturally it was impossible for divine spirits to want anything to do with these scraps… right?
