Qiongqi originally just wanted to pick a fight with Ziheng, but he didn't expect to be scolded by the other party at length, and those remarks seemed ridiculous to him.
He didn't understand why Ziheng, a Qilin, thought so highly of humans when they were so small and weak, and why he loved to stay in such a filthy place like the human world.
He left with anger and doubts, and wanted to go home to continue to practice seclusion to improve his own strength, but for some reason he thought of Ziheng's suggestion of "going into the world and experiencing it personally".
If you want to know why something or a person is good, the fastest and most accurate way is to understand it. If you want to know what is good about human beings and the world, you should naturally go and understand it yourself.
Anyway, it would be boring to go back. All I could do is practice in seclusion. I have nothing to do anyway, so why not... go to the human world?
Once some thoughts appear, they grow like weeds and can no longer be suppressed.
Finally, Qiongqi decided to enter the world!
He wanted to personally go to the human world to investigate, and then find out where Ziheng's views contradicted each other, and let him know that those views were wrong, all wrong!!
Qiongqi went down the mountain because of his childish thoughts, but he didn't expect to meet the most important person in his life.
After he left Ziheng's residence, he went to the nearest town to wander around. Although the town was remote, it was very lively.
The streets are bustling with traffic and people coming and going like a tide. There are teahouses, pubs, and pawnshops on both sides of the street. There are also many small vendors in the open spaces on both sides of the street, shouting at the top of their lungs.
Qiongqi lives on the top of the mountain all year round and never comes down the mountain unless there is something important. Even if he goes out, it is to find friends, and he always flies with his big wings spread. He will never go down until he reaches his destination.
This was the first time in all his life that he had seen such a lively and bustling scene. These overwhelming novelties easily aroused his curiosity.
He stared with his eyes wide open and turned his head to look around, just like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
But soon his rationality returned completely, and after a while he felt that these things were boring. After all, these things were just common things. They were amazing when you first saw them, but after seeing them many times, they became boring.
He silently complained in his heart, this world... is just like this! There are just more people, more things, and it's more lively, but there's nothing special about it! It's not as interesting as Ziheng said!
But at this moment, a burst of fragrant smell suddenly hit him.
"Selling buns! Freshly baked big thin-skinned buns!"
Qiongqi had been fasting for many years and had never had any interest in food, but for some reason, he walked towards the stall selling buns.
He crossed his arms in front of his chest, staring at the big thin-skinned buns in the steamer, and his mouth unconsciously secreted saliva.
This unprecedented feeling made him frown. He had been fasting for a long time and never felt hungry, so why... why did he want to eat so much? What did this bun taste like?
Could this be... the legendary greed?
No way! How could a ferocious beast like Qiongqi be so obsessed with oral pleasure?!
He swallowed hard and was about to turn around and leave when he smelled a strong fragrance again. He couldn't smell it clearly from a distance just now, but now that it was right in front of him, it was at least several degrees more fragrant than before.
Seeing that he hadn't said anything and hadn't left, the bun vendor took the initiative to ask, "Sir, would you like a few buns to try?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Qiongqi's expression suddenly became subtle.
In the human world, you can eat steamed buns as much as you want? Are these humans so friendly? So, the human world seems pretty good, isn't it?
Qiongqi had never experienced this before, and responded somewhat unnaturally: "First... let's try one."
"Okay!" The vendor responded with a smile, then put oil paper on his hand, took one out of the steamer, and handed it to the person in front of him with nimble hands.
After Qiongqi took it, he first smelled it carefully, and then took a small bite cautiously. When the fragrance exploded in his mouth, his eyes suddenly lit up.
The bun skin is thin and soft. When you take a bite, it is full of oil and juice, fragrant but not greasy, making you addicted.
He devoured the whole bun, then waved to the vendor in front of him and said proudly, "Give me twenty more!"
The vendor was a little shocked when he heard this. He never cut corners when making buns. He always filled them with plenty of fillings and the buns were bigger than ordinary ones.
One woman can be full, and the number of men who can eat some is at most five. It is rare to want twenty at once. The one in front of me doesn’t look like he is going to take it home, so... this is really enough to eat!
But whether you can eat it or not is none of his business. Whether you can finish it or not is also up to the customer. As long as you pay, he will sell it. It would be a fool not to make money! The sooner you sell it, the sooner you can go home!
He responded in a cheerful voice, "Okay! Please wait a moment, the new ones will be ready soon!"
Qiongqi nodded calmly and stood in front of the stall waiting silently.
I kept sighing in my heart, I didn't expect that humans are so enthusiastic and the food they make is so delicious.
The world is really interesting, and not as bad as he imagined!
Qiongqi's long-standing prejudice against the world and humans was quickly reversed because of the buns that "can be eaten at will".
But... what he never expected was that this was a huge misunderstanding!
A new basket of buns was soon ready. The vendor brought the steamer directly over the fire and was about to ask the big eater in front of him whether he wanted to eat it directly or take it away, when he saw him reaching out to take it himself as if he was not afraid of the heat.
He took one and started to eat it with relish. After finishing it in no time, he reached out for another one, repeating the same action over and over again. He ate ten in a row before stopping.
After eating ten buns, Qiongqi didn't feel full but he was satisfied. After all, people who practice fasting only eat to taste the food.
After being satisfied, he prepared to leave this place and see if there was anything else interesting. However, just as he turned around, his throat couldn't help but twitch, and then he heard a "hiccup".
He quickly covered his mouth with his hands, his cheeks instantly turning red like a monkey's butt. Was he...was he burping? ?
He, Qiongqi! One of the Four Great Fierce Beasts! He actually hiccupped?!
Why would he react in such a way that would destroy his own image??!!
He subconsciously looked up and glanced around. Everyone was focused on their own things and didn't notice him at all.
But despite this, he still felt very ashamed, lowered his head and walked forward quickly.
But after taking just two steps, he was stopped by a vendor selling steamed buns.
