After stockpiling a lot of miscellaneous things, Xia Xiao and Azhu tied the horses aside, sat in front of a steamed bun shop, and ordered a few large baskets of steamed buns and two bowls of dried meat soup, which were very fragrant.

If this bun shop was a shady shop and all the buns were made with human flesh, Xia Xiao and Azhu would not be able to tell the difference, because after being dipped in chili and vinegar, the juicy and rich flavor penetrates directly into their internal organs, and with a sip of the slightly spicy broth, a day's spiritual life can begin immediately.

Because Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu spent a lot of time shopping, the business of the bun shop was already slow at this time. Seeing how much they ate, the boss wiped his hands on his apron, walked over and asked:

"Looking at the guest's smart attire, he must be a knight who has traveled far and wide. I wonder what country's custom is this way of eating? And what's the reason? Wouldn't it make the meat buns taste a bit less tasty?"

"We just need to eat whatever is comfortable for us, there is no need to be too particular."

After Xia Xiao finished speaking, he pointed to the empty sauce dish. The boss immediately turned around and took the chili and vinegar jars.

"The guest wanted it before, but I didn't know what it was for, so I gave less. Please don't be offended."

"No problem."

After the steaming water mist, Xia Xiao was scalded by the soup in the meat bun and almost vomited it out, but he felt it was indecent, so he swallowed it in two mouthfuls, causing tears to flow. Seeing this, Ah Zhu laughed and said:

"It's my turn to scold you now. Why are you so anxious? No one is competing with you for it."

Xia Xiao was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry. The thousands of flames of fire had not yet burned him to death, but a mouthful of soup forced out tears.

"Please enjoy your meal, sir."

Several children holding windmills ran past the bun shop, looking as if they were going to tear down the roof tiles. After the boss said something in a friendly manner, he quickly chased after them and shouted:

"You're so bold, be careful that Xia Xiao will catch you and eat you as a snack."

"Stop lying! That kind of big devil doesn't have the time to care about me."

Seeing his naughty 10-year-old son, the boss picked up a rolling pin and was about to hit him, but the child was fast and ran to the middle of the road in the blink of an eye, making it difficult to catch up. However, the boss was frightened by the roaring horse and was about to run towards it, as he was the only child!

The horse was hard to stop, and in fact it was not very fast, but it was so strong that it was an absolute behemoth in front of the short child. It was estimated that if the horse's hoof landed, the child's head would be half gone. However, in this southern grassland where there were many knights, there would always be someone who would take action, but who would have thought that the one who took action at this time was the big devil mentioned by the boss.

Picking up the child and handing him to the boss, Xia Xiao said unhappily:

"That big devil has no time to bother with you, but if you don't watch where you're going, be careful of being spotted by the god of death."

The child was held in his father's arms. He looked at Xia Xiao in front of him with great admiration and his eyes shining.

Sitting back beside Ah Zhu, Xia Xiao put on his bamboo hat at the same time and continued to eat. However, this breakfast had to be quick. It would be a bad thing if someone saw his appearance. No matter how fast he was or how powerful his tricks were, some practitioners with great skills would see through him. Xia Xiao was not good at that kind of thing, so it was normal for him to be seen through.

"Thank you, guest! Thank you, guest!"

The boss bowed repeatedly, but Xia Xiao was annoyed and waved his hand to chase him away, but the boss stepped back a few steps and asked:

"What is your name, sir? Could you please let me know so that I can pray for you in the future?"

"Fang Huan."

Xia Xiao blurted out, and Azhu hurriedly followed.

"My name is Yuan Bei."

When the boss realized what was going on, he realized the meaning of the name. But if he asked again, it would seem he was being tactless. He could only feel lucky inwardly. If they hadn't come today, he, this little bastard, would have been in danger.

As soon as the child landed on the ground, he wanted to run again, but the boss yelled at him, making him tremble all over and he dared not play anymore.

"How many times have I told you that running in the alley is fine, but you can't run around on the street. Look at that horseman. He looks well-dressed, but he left without even saying an apology. If it weren't for the two guests today, you would have died, don't you know that?"

"I was wrong~"

"I'm going to punish you by not letting you go out for five days. Go back to your mother!"

The boy didn't want to leave, and the boss continued to scold him. Xia Xiao saw this and felt that it was a bit beautiful for some reason, but there was someone who would teach him like this, and he didn't need to envy him at all.

The aura coming from all around him instantly made him nervous, and he felt that he had no chance of winning. Fortunately, this aura was very familiar and was not an enemy, but Xia Xiao also put down his chopsticks in shame and lost the mood to eat.

"It's okay, keep eating."

An old man with a white beard appeared out of nowhere and walked past Xia Xiao, with a palm leaf fan on his back and a large gourd tied around his waist. He sat opposite Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu, and suddenly, everything became quiet. The previous boss raised his palm to hit, and the child's mouth pursed up as if it could hang an oil bottle. The white clouds in the sky and the pedestrians on the ground all stopped moving for a moment, and the sun was hidden, not daring to emit too much light.

Ah Zhu was a little unfamiliar with this white-bearded old man, but when she heard Xia Xiao call him "Master", she immediately showed respect and did not dare to neglect him. Xia Xiao's master was the head of the pope of the church and the patron saint of the world, so she bowed deeply at this time, but because she was flustered and not in the same rhythm as Xia Xiao, it seemed a little messy.

"Please sit down. I'm here to have breakfast."

The Pope took a small plate, added some chili and vinegar, picked up a bun and started to eat, without forgetting to pull out the wine cork, take a bite of the bun and then take a sip of peach blossom wine.

"I haven't drunk for a long time. I feel so good!"

He dragged out his voice, his face full of comfort, but Ah Zhu was a little surprised that the Pope would eat buns with him in such a place. But the Pope is like this, he maintains his serious image in front of outsiders, but in the eyes of his own people, he has always been a naughty boy. But his strength easily stopped everything around him, even the dust that was raised was suspended in the air and could not fall. When people get old, it is better to be quiet. Too much noise will give you a headache.

Xia Xiao knew his master's personality and didn't think it was strange, but he was still hesitant to pick up his chopsticks, which made Ah Zhu a little embarrassed.

"I'm here to talk to you, not to kill you. There's no need to be so nervous."

"Master, I just feel guilty."

Qing Xunzi asked Ah Zhu to eat and replied:

"If you fail to resist the temptation of power, or stumble and fall into the devil's way, I will deal with you. But you were framed, it was not your fault. If I blame you again, I will be too unsympathetic."

"Master, there are things I have always wanted to ask you."

“Ask, but I don’t necessarily know.”

Xia Xiao took the bun handed to him by his master. He did not dip it in sauce. He just took a bite, chewed it casually, and swallowed it.

"Why are you here? Why are you looking for the person made of clay from the Great Wilderness's consciousness? I never knew the reason, and now my mind is full of mysteries. Master, can you explain some of it to me?"
