But after just two steps, he was stopped by a bun vendor, "Sir, you haven't paid yet!"
"Money?" Qiongqi put down his hand covering his mouth, frowned and asked in confusion, "What is money? Why should I give you money?"
The vendor was shocked by these words and asked in disbelief, "Sir, you...what nonsense are you talking about? You ate my buns, of course you have to pay! If you don't pay, wouldn't that be like eating a free meal?!"
Qiongqi was confused. "Dine for free? What does that mean?"
Is it true that only Overlords can eat buns? As a ferocious beast, isn't he also an Overlord?
After pondering this silently for a while, he calmly responded, "I am the Overlord. Can you please move aside?"
The vendor's eyes widened in disbelief, and he pointed a trembling finger at him, saying, "You...how could there be someone as shameless as you in the world! You actually want to dine and eat for free!"
He rushed forward and grabbed the man's sleeve, gritting his teeth and yelling, "Give me the money for the buns right now, or I'll take you to the police!"
"What do you mean?" Qiongqi was confused by him and frowned impatiently: "Didn't you let me taste the buns at the beginning? Why are you talking about money now? What exactly is money?"
"Besides... didn't you just say that only overlords can eat buns? Don't I look like a overlord?"
How could someone not know what money is? And yet they're saying things like "only the overlords can eat the buns"—are they just being ignorant because they don't want to pay?
The vendor was dumbfounded by these words. After secretly complaining in his heart, he sat down on the ground, hugged his thighs tightly and cried, "Someone come! Someone is eating and dashing! They ate eleven of my buns and won't pay!"
It is human nature to love to join in the fun.
As soon as these words were spoken, many people put down what they were doing and came over, and soon they formed a circle.
Seeing this, the vendor continued to cry out, "Everyone, please come and help me judge the situation! This person ate eleven of my buns and refused to pay! And he even said he was a bully! Is there any law here?"
The scene was so tragic that it immediately aroused the sympathy of the onlookers.
Everyone started pointing fingers at Qiongqi, and some people were even so angry that they couldn't help but curse.
"It's true that 'you can't judge a book by its cover,' and how can someone dressed like a decent person actually do something like a free meal?"
"Bah! What a scum! No matter how good-looking he is or how nicely he dresses, he's still a filthy bastard at heart! He's nothing more than a scoundrel!"
"You're dressed quite luxuriously, aren't you even able to afford the buns? Running a small business isn't easy. If you still have any conscience, just give them the money!"
Qiongqi was so angry when he heard the dirty words, and even felt a little aggrieved.
It was this person who asked him to try the buns, and he didn't ask for money before trying them! Why did he ask for money after trying them?
And…wasn't what he meant just now that only freeloaders can finish their meal and leave? Is that wrong for him to say he's a freeloader?! What exactly does "freeloader" mean?
Why are they calling him shameless? What did he do wrong?
The impression of the world, which had just changed not long ago, suddenly changed back again, and was even worse than before.
The shouting and insults from the onlookers made him unable to hold back his anger, and the rage in his heart rushed straight to his head.
How dare they disrespect him like that? It really pissed him off!!
Stupid, cunning and vicious human beings should not exist in this world at all!
Why not... just kill them all!
He clenched his fists silently, and then was about to mobilize the strength in his body.
But at this moment, a strange female voice suddenly came from behind, "I paid for him."
The sound was as beautiful as a spring, refreshing to the heart, and unexpectedly calmed the anger in Qiongqi's heart. He frowned, interrupted the spell, and took the power back into his body.
Then he slowly turned his head and looked behind him. A girl in a light green dress was walking towards him with a gentle smile on her face.
The girl's bright eyes were as crystal clear as black gemstones and as pure as clear lake water. Qiongqi looked into her eyes from a distance, and his steadily beating heart suddenly seemed to be hit by something.
"You get up first. I'll pay for him." She walked to the vendor and said softly.
"Ms. Liang...Ms. Liang." The peddler stood up quickly and obediently, then bowed respectfully.
The girl nodded slightly to him, then waved to the maid beside her.
The maid quickly took out her purse from her sleeve and then took out a piece of silver and handed it to the vendor.
Qiongqi looked at the piece of silver with some doubt, and wondered in his heart, could this be... money?
Just when he thought the vendor would pick up the things without hesitation, he unexpectedly refused.
He kept waving his hands and refusing, "Ms. Liang, how can I take your money? This guy is clearly eating and dodging, how can I let you spend the money?" And he gave so much.
"This young man has a dignified appearance and outstanding temperament. He doesn't look like a bad person. There must be some misunderstanding, or perhaps some unspeakable difficulties. So I will give the money on his behalf first. You can accept it." The girl said with a smile.
Even if Qiongqi was naive, he could tell that she was speaking for him, but that didn't mean he would appreciate it. After all, his impression of humans had already been reduced to zero. Humans were just a bunch of hateful and cunning guys!
