Listening to the pharmacy owner's words, Huapi looked at the Rejuvenating Herbs again and finally understood.
"You've been bribed by the scoundrels in the provincial capital?"
"Oh, look at what you're saying, brother. What bribery? Those scoundrels in the provincial capital know we're on good terms, so... hehe."
The pharmacy owner rubbed his thumb and forefinger together, showing that those strange people in the provincial capital had put in a lot of effort to get information out of him.
"Why me?"
"Brother, you're being too modest," the pharmacy owner said, feigning rudeness. "What happened that night isn't a secret. Everyone knows how you dominated the auction with ghost money, and afterwards you even tried to buy the chairman's position!"
After that, the commercial street not only changed hands, but its level was also raised. If you say it has nothing to do with Painted Skin, the pharmacy owner will be the first to disbelieve it!
Therefore, after the president of the Chamber of Commerce in the Gui City of the provincial capital discovered that he had killed the wrong person, Painted Skin became the focus of attention of all the ghosts, and some ghosts even suspected that the new president was Painted Skin.
But the monsters, who are also two-star monster dungeon bosses, know exactly what kind of monster the painted skin is. How could it possibly have so much ghost money?
This question has been troubling the commercial street of the provincial capital for several days; otherwise, they wouldn't have brought out the last remaining Rejuvenating Grass.
"So, does this mean the chairman of the association in the provincial capital wants to befriend me?" Huapi asked, feigning doubt, and received confirmation from the smiling pharmacy owner.
"That's right, that's right. The Ghost Market Commercial Street in Hongcheng City is now a four-star commercial street, even higher than the three-star one in the provincial capital. Oh my, I'm all thanks to you, little brother. Now I'm famous in the Ghost Market Commercial Street, bringing honor to my ancestors!"
Upon hearing this, Hua Pi looked at Su Luo, after all, she was the real president of the Chamber of Commerce. As soon as she turned around, she found that Su Luo had already come to her side and casually took the brocade box from his hand.
The stuff is good stuff.
She didn't care where this stuff came from; for Su Luo, its value lay in being able to be made into a resurrection elixir, nothing else mattered.
Is it possible that the people in the provincial capital are really that kind?
Nobody believes that!
However, the feeling of being constantly coveted by treacherous individuals is not pleasant, especially since they are so eager to see her...
"not bad."
"I've taken the things. I'll go back and tell Gui in the provincial capital to pack his things and wait."
"Just wait and I'll make them pack their bags and leave!"
As the item was taken away by a human, the pharmacy owner was about to say something when he heard the human's words. He also saw that the painted skin did not object at all, and even took a half step back, clearly indicating a master-servant relationship, which established Su Luo's position.
A bold and unbelievable guess formed in the mind of the pharmacy owner.
Could this human be... the newly appointed president of the chamber of commerce?!
Sensing the pharmacy owner's thoughts, Su Luo curled her lips, neither admitting nor denying, but simply patted the pharmacy owner's shoulder lightly with the brocade box, "Thank you for pointing out the way last time, boss. The change of leadership also owes a debt to you!"
It seemed like a compliment, but the pharmacy owner didn't dare to utter a sound until Su Luo left the pharmacy with the painted skin. Only then did he belatedly realize that his legs had gone weak and he had collapsed to his knees.
My God, a human has become the owner of a four-star monster dungeon? Who would believe that?
Who would believe it!
By the way, what did she just ask the president of the provincial capital chamber of commerce to do?
The pharmacy owner, having figured it out, slapped his forehead and hurriedly found the best-kept herbs in the shop, packaged them up, and ran out, saying, "Member... cough cough, Brother Huapi, wait for me! I'm giving all these good stuff to the Chairman so he can have a taste!"
Just kidding. Between a human who can casually produce a million ghost coins and the president of a chamber of commerce in a provincial capital far away, the pharmacy owner can figure out which is more important even with his feet!
Now that they've learned of this explosive news first, they're naturally eager to latch onto this powerful figure!
Didn't you see that the Painted Skin's value rose along with that human's? Now it's a well-known figure in this area. Think about that glory and status. Doesn't the pharmacy owner deserve it?
Su Luo was not polite at all; he accepted everything that was delivered to him.
It has to be said that the pharmacy owner had a really good stock. Some of the medicinal herbs in it were quite expensive in the system's points shop, so he saved a lot of money.
Afterwards, Su Luo took Hua Pi to sit in the newly opened pastry shop in the Ghost City. The entire shop was decorated according to the aesthetics of gourmets. The entire door was made into the shape of a gaping maw, and even the lights used for lighting were placed in candlesticks shaped like a big mouth.
Looking at this taste, Su Luo was slightly shocked. He thought to himself that it was a good thing that the gourmet became a chef, otherwise it was hard to say. If he encountered the kind of aesthetic that Hua Pi had, he might have been beaten to death by Hua Pi.
The owner of the pastry shop might not know Su Luo, but he must know Hua Pi. Upon seeing Hua Pi come to the shop in person, he immediately brought over a large amount of food, including one of each flavor, as if afraid of not taking good care of him.
Looking at the pastries shaped like tongues and internal organs, and then at the long queue, I fell into deep thought.
Sure enough, strange creatures love uniqueness.
However, this uniqueness changed after Su Luo saw a humanoid doll-shaped cake that looked somewhat familiar yet abstract.
Su Luo sneered, picked up the pastry, and examined it carefully, turning it from side to side. Everything else was fine, except for that figure…
His belly had gotten bigger, almost the same size as a gourmet's; if enlarged proportionally, it could even fit a truck tire. Then there was the huge mouth split open on his belly button, almost identical to the decorations in the shop.
Seeing the dough figurine in Su Luo's hand, Hua Pi's face turned pale and then he gave up and gave up.
Forget it, brother, goodbye!
However, with such excellent craftsmanship and lifelike appearance, the boss probably won't mind too much.
The not-so-fussy boss: Heh, so this is how you see me, is that it! Su Luo smiled as she placed the things on the table, a smile that sent chills down Gui's spine.
The kitchen.
The shop owner, who had just come downstairs, was preparing to carry out the next batch of freshly baked pastries when he realized that he seemed to have brought the wrong thing.
"Oh dear, it seems we should also bring out the pastries that Butler Da Mei left here!"
"However, Lord Painted Skin doesn't seem to eat ghosts indiscriminately, so he should be fine. Besides, Butler Da Mei and Lord Painted Skin live under the same roof, so they should have a good relationship."
They're all pastries anyway, just different in appearance, so there's no big deal.
Thinking of this, and hearing the eerie urging from outside, the shop owner responded while carrying the steamer outside...
In Sansui City, a gourmet who was looking for black paper flowers to plate suddenly sneezed several times in a row.
Rubbing his nose, the gourmet casually tossed bundles of white candles into his enormous mouth, which was perched on his belly button, while muttering menacingly.
"Who the hell is plotting against me? If I find out, I'll make you pay!"
