Bu Fang walked out of the kitchen, stretched, wiped away the water stains on his hands, and pulled out a chair to sit down for a break.
After spending the entire morning in the kitchen, he had finally finished cooking all the dishes ordered by the customers. Finally, he could take a break and rest.
Mu Lingfeng sat in the distance, sipping his fish soup while observing Bu Fang as he walked out of the kitchen. Having been in the store for so many days, the impression that Owner Bu gave him was that he was the kind of person who would not panic even if a mountain were to collapse in front of him.
However, Bu Fang's culinary skills were indeed superb. At least among the delicacies he had tasted before, it was the best.
If the store did not have the Five Stripes Path-Understanding Tree, Mu Lingfeng would have liked to come here for some appetizers and a little wine. What a pity … an innocent man gets into trouble because of his wealth. Sitting on a treasure like the Five Stripes Path-Understanding Tree had doomed this store to a tragic end.
He knew that in a short while, this store would be destroyed.
"Sheng Mu, that guy, brought Elder Xia to the store. What a pity …" Mu Lingfeng took a sip of Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine and sighed.
...
On the long streets of the Imperial City, a group of strong men walked straight and finally arrived at a secluded alley.
"Is this the place?" Elder Xia glanced at Sheng Mu, the muscles on his face twitching slightly as he asked.
"Yes, the store is in this inconspicuous alley." Sheng Mu patted the head of the black cheetah he was riding on and said with a chuckle.
Elder Xia frowned, the corners of his mouth curling slightly. "What a remote place. How could a Five Stripes Path-Understanding Tree appear in such a secluded alley?"
However, he did not say too much and led the group into the alleyway. Regardless of whether this store was located in a remote area or not, their target was only the Five Stripes Path-Understanding Tree. As for the store … that was not what they were concerned about … If it was too annoying, they could just casually destroy it.
Standing at the entrance of the store, Elder Xia cracked his neck, the muscles on his body bulging like dragons.
Sheng Mu narrowed his eyes, dismounted from the back of the cheetah, and turned to Elder Xia. "Elder Xia, should we go in or …"
"Let's go. Let's see how the Five Stripes Path-Understanding Tree looks like. Is it really like what you said … To be honest, I still don't believe what you said. How could a treasure like the Five Stripes Path-Understanding Tree appear in such a remote place? "Xia Da pursed his lips.
Sheng Mu was stunned and didn't know what to say. But soon, he grinned and led his people into the store.
The moment they stepped into the store, the warm atmosphere inside caused their expressions to slightly change. As seventh grade Battle-Saints, they were extremely sensitive to spirit energy. The air was filled with the rich aroma of the dishes and spirit energy that could make one feel hungry. It was simply unbelievable.
The environment inside and outside the shop were completely different. The Path-Understanding Tree's Path-Understanding Notes echoed from time to time, making people feel enlightened.
"There really is a Five Stripes Path-Understanding Tree!" Sheng Mu's eyes lit up as he looked at Elder Xia, who had also stepped into the store.
The latter's expression also became strange.
"Let's eat and order. Look at the menu behind you. Let me know what you want to eat." Seeing several burly men step into the store, Ouyang Xiaoyi frowned slightly. The store was not big to begin with. Once these people came in, it became a little crowded.
"Eat? Haha! Little girl, I'm not here to eat today, I'm here to ask for treasures! "Sheng Mu laughed.
Ouyang Xiaoyi was taken aback, a little confused.
Sitting on a chair, Bu Fang frowned and glanced at this burly man.
"Call the owner of the store out. If he still wants to keep this store open in this remote corner, then tell him to stop wasting time!" Sheng Mu was incomparably domineering.
Bu Fang stood up, shielded Ouyang Xiaoyi behind him, and walked in front of this group of people.
"I am the owner of the store. Is there anything I can help you with?"
In the distance, Mu Lingfeng shook his head. As expected … this group of simple-minded, brawny experts from the Ferocious Hall had come.
But he did not move. He was still sitting in his original position, drinking the delicious fish soup.
"Something? Of course there is! Didn't you hear what I said earlier, I'm here to ask for treasures? Don't play dumb with me. Where's the Five Stripes Path-Understanding Tree? Hand it over … "
Sheng Mu clenched his fists. The muscles on his face quivered, and he began to laugh maliciously.
Bu Fang looked at him expressionlessly, pursed his lips, and then said, "There are many who ask for treasures from me … Who do you think you are?"
Sheng Mu was taken aback. Then his eyes widened, and a murderous aura surged.
However, before he could make a move, Sheng Mu was taken aback. He felt a sharp aura surging from outside the door, locking onto him.
"Who's causing trouble in the store?"
Outside the door, a cold voice rang. A figure stood outside.
The crowd, including Bu Fang, looked toward the door in confusion. Soon, they realized that the person who was clamoring was actually a serpent-man.
Bu Fang did not know whether to laugh or cry. This serpent-man Yu Feng really intended to protect his store … He actually dared to come out at this time. The aura of this group of people before him was very strong. Where did he get his confidence from …
"Oh? You're here to protect this store? "Sheng Mu chuckled. A seventh grade Battle-Saint serpent-man, was this store's trump card? That would really be a little boring.
"Owner Bu, I promised you that I would protect the store. I'm a man of my word," the serpent-man Yu Feng said seriously.
A pitch-black spear appeared in his hand. With a sweep of the spear, it was aimed at the group of Ferocious Hall warriors in the store.
Bu Fang was about to say something, but Sheng Mu and the others had already walked out of the store and came to the alleyway, confronting the serpent-man Yu Feng.
Bu Fang rolled his eyes, not knowing what to say.
Even though he did not know whether to laugh or cry, he was still a little touched.
"A serpent-man has appeared in the Imperial City of the Light Wind Empire? Interesting … "Among the crowd, Xia Da's lips curled into a smile. He looked at the serpent-man Yu Feng and laughed.
"The Illusory Spirit Swamp's Grand Serpentine City is famous even in the Hidden Dragon Continent. The Serpentine Sovereign single-handedly established a prosperous city in the harsh Illusory Spirit Swamp, attracting the attention of countless people. I wonder if you're from the Serpentine Sovereign's Grand Serpentine City?" Xia Da asked calmly.
The serpent-man Yu Feng was taken aback, then he frowned and said with a sweep of his spear, "Even though I'm not a serpent-man from the Grand Serpentine City, I was fortunate enough to meet the Serpentine Sovereign."
As he said this, Yu Feng was quite proud. As a branch of the serpent-men tribe, to be able to meet the legendary Serpentine Sovereign was a supreme honor.
"Oh … you've met the Serpentine Sovereign? Then I'll give the Serpentine Sovereign some face. Get lost. "
Xia Da glanced at the serpent-man Yu Feng, waved his hand, and sneered.
Sheng Mu and the others around him also burst into laughter.
The serpent-men … this was a race that they looked down upon. The serpent-men were equivalent to the beastmen. In the depths of the Wildlands, there were also beastmen. These beastmen lived in the depths of the Wildlands and were the lowest of the low.
Now, a serpent-man was actually clamoring in front of them to protect the store … It was indeed a little ridiculous.
Bu Fang leaned against the door frame, calmly watching the confrontation in the square. Behind him, the chubby Xiao Bai was already standing like a block of wood, his red mechanical eyes flashing.
"Arrogant!"
The serpent-man Yu Feng did not recognize the muscular man in front of him, but he could hear the disdain and humiliation in the man's words. This was unforgivable!
"Get lost? What a ridiculous arrogance! " Yu Feng was taken aback. With a swing of his serpentine tail, the true energy in his body gushed out, and the pitch-black spear was fiercely thrust toward the arrogant man.
The air seemed to be shredded into pieces at this moment. Crashing noises resounded incessantly, and the violent waves of true energy surged up violently, causing the weather in the alleyway to change.
Once a seventh grade Battle-Saint attacked, its power was absolutely terrifying.
The faces of Sheng Mu and the others froze. This serpent-man's cultivation level was indeed strong, no wonder he dared to stand out and clamor … Any seventh grade Battle-Saint present would not be able to win against him.
What a pity … this serpent-man had no idea who was standing in front of him, and what kind of existence he was!
Xia Da stood in place without moving. His eyes narrowed. When the powerful spear was one meter away from his body, Xia Da slowly raised his muscular palm.
Creak …
An ear-piercing sound rang out. The serpent-man Yu Feng's pupils constricted. The pitch-black spear he thrust out was actually caught by the human in front of him with a single hand!
Bu Fang, who was leaning against the door frame, was also dumbfounded. To be able to single-handedly stop the attack of a seventh grade Battle-Saint, the cultivation level of this big guy in front of him was obviously not simple.
"No wonder he dared to come to the store and clamor … So he is relying on his high-end combat prowess to join us?" The corners of Bu Fang's mouth twitched as he lightly mumbled to himself. However, he was not the slightest bit worried.
He patted Xiao Bai's plump belly, not the slightest bit flustered.
