Ye Chen followed the lady boss to the courtyard outside the bun shop. The lady boss didn't stop after exiting the bun shop. Instead, she led Ye Chen to the backyard of the bun shop.
"I didn't expect this courtyard to be so big. I thought there was only one front yard," Ye Chen said with a smile.
"Yes, this is the property left behind by my husband's ancestors. Fortunately, it wasn't affected by the war. Otherwise, we wouldn't even have a place to stay."
The lady boss replied without turning her head. Ye Chen nodded and didn't say anything.
Soon, the lady boss led Ye Chen to a small hut. "Little brother, this is our firewood hut. I'll have to trouble you to stay here tonight."
"Thank you, lady boss. I'm already very grateful that you have a place to stay. I wouldn't dare ask for more." Ye Chen thanked her from the bottom of his heart. After all, it was rare to see such a kind person.
"Then if there's nothing else, little brother, you can go in and rest. I still have to prepare the ingredients for tomorrow, so I won't accompany you any longer." After saying that, the lady turned and left without waiting for Ye Chen's response.
Ye Chen wanted to say more words of thanks, but before Ye Chen could say anything, the lady had already turned the corner of the courtyard and disappeared.
Ye Chen shrugged. He knew that the lady boss was probably in a hurry. After all, it was troublesome to prepare the ingredients for the next day.
He walked into the firewood hut and took off his bag. He placed it on the ground and cleared out an empty space. He laid some straw on the ground and lay down.
Ye Chen had drunk some wine earlier, so he was a little dizzy. He enjoyed this feeling very much, as if he was floating in the clouds.
He suddenly wondered if the Monkey King felt the same when he rode the Somersault Cloud.
Ye Chen closed his eyes, but he couldn't fall asleep. He didn't know why, but he was very annoyed. He simply stood up and walked to the window of the firewood hut.
Looking at the stars and moon in the sky, Ye Chen's previous thoughts reappeared in his mind. He began to wonder if there were any immortals in this world.
"Until now, the closest thing I've seen to an immortal is that Daoist, but he looks too ordinary. If he didn't have the ability to suddenly appear and disappear, I wouldn't believe that he's an immortal."
"Immortal? That sounds so far-fetched." Ye Chen sighed and sat back down on the ground. He flipped through his memories and suddenly remembered the scene where the Monkey King wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Court 500 years ago.
Ye Chen wanted to reenact the scene in his mind, but at this moment, he suddenly heard some noise in the yard outside the woodshed.
Ye Chen walked back to the window curiously. However, the window didn't face the courtyard of the bun shop, but outside the wall, so Ye Chen couldn't see anything.
He pressed his ear against the door and listened carefully. The surroundings were very quiet. He heard faint footsteps in the yard, and the footsteps seemed to be coming towards the woodshed.
Ye Chen didn't say anything. He thought that the lady boss of the bun shop was here to retrieve something, so he didn't pay much attention.
Soon, the footsteps reached the door of the woodshed, but the footsteps stopped at the door.
"Is everything ready?" A man's voice suddenly sounded. Ye Chen hadn't heard this man speak before.
"It's ready. Also, this kid drank our wine earlier. There's something in the wine, so he should be sleeping like a dead pig now." Ye Chen could tell that it was the lady boss's voice!
