Chapter 47 Chapter 47 Yunlai Restaurant
Yun Miao: [Senior Brother Niu, cheating bad people out of their money isn't cheating; it's called robbing the rich to help the poor.]
"Ji Huangmao, if you agree, you'll get one thousand after the deal is done. Add to that the one thousand Senior Brother Niu gave you earlier, and you'll make two thousand for free today."
Chicken Yellow Feather: [This is killing me! A little brat in the Qi Refining Stage can actually use telepathy? He's even more cruel than me! No, I won't agree!]
Yun Miao: [If you don't agree, I'll sabotage you and make you lose everything.]
Ji Huangmao choked and began to try to bargain with Yun Miao. After a fierce verbal battle, the man and the chicken finally reached a consensus. Ji Huangmao returned the one thousand spirit stones to Senior Brother Niu, and then they divided Yun Lujia's five thousand spirit stones equally!
Yun Lujia couldn't hear the spiritual communication between the few people, he just saw them suddenly fall silent, and he couldn't help but look suspicious.
Hu Bo did notice a slight fluctuation, but when he wanted to use his spiritual sense to investigate carefully, he was glared at by the black-faced monster. He was so scared that he immediately withdrew his spiritual sense and dared not explore anymore.
Yun Miao, who had partnered with Ji Huangmao, was the first to speak up. With great emotion, she recounted how she had recently mistaken the frivolous and vulgar Ji Huangmao for someone bullying an elderly man, and how she had bravely stepped forward to stop him. She then offered a sincere apology to Ji Huangmao once again.
Tan Xiaobai and Huo Xin immediately agreed to testify. Niu Rao touched his horns awkwardly, then nodded quickly.
The vulgar and extremely wretched Ji Huangmao gritted his teeth: "...Yes, that's what happened."
Yun Lujia always felt that something was fishy, but he had no evidence, so he could only grit his teeth and say that he didn't have that many spirit stones on him at the moment and needed to go back to the restaurant to get some.
Ji Huangmao was afraid that he would run away, so he immediately offered to escort Young Master Yun back to the restaurant.
Coincidentally, Yun Miao was also afraid that Ji Huangmao would run away with the money, so he also expressed his willingness to send Young Master Yun back. Since Yun Miao was leaving, Niu Rao and others naturally had to follow. Grandma Hua also wanted to go, but Huo Xin thought that her waist had not healed yet, so he pushed her back to the chair and told her to sit down and eat, and they would be back soon.
A group of people marched towards the Yunlai Restaurant. Yun Lujia didn't want to take these shameless people upstairs, so he sat down with them on the first floor with a sullen look on his face, and asked the shopkeeper to withdraw the spiritual stones from the account for urgent use.
While waiting, Yun Miao looked at the waiter who had taken her deposit and asked if her three honey-roasted whole lambs were ready. The food and drinks from the Huangmao Tavern had already arrived, and she was just waiting for the honey-roasted whole lambs to be served.
Ji Huangmao was dissatisfied: "Is my cooking so bad? You all came to my tavern, and you even ordered the honey-glazed roasted whole lamb from my neighbor's tavern?"
Yun Miao: "Oh, the dish is actually not bad, but it's a pity there isn't a single chicken feather. It's too clean, I don't like it. Remember to improve it next time."
The chicken's sharp eyes saw through her trick: "A few more chicken feathers will make it easier for you to blackmail me, right?"
At the same time, the waiter who had gone to the kitchen to ask again came back with a smile on his face.
"Sir, the three honey-roasted whole lambs you ordered are already..."
“No more.”
Yun Lujia's sudden interruption made everyone frown and look over.
He curled his lips sarcastically and slammed his teacup down on the table, saying the waiter had made a mistake and that the limited edition of ten honey-roasted whole lambs had already been sold out. He was truly sorry.
He gave the waiter a cold look and said, "Go and return this distinguished guest's deposit to her."
The waiter was stunned, then trembled a little at Yun Lujia's stare, and hurriedly took out a deposit of dozens of spirit stones from the counter and placed it on the table in front of Yun Miao.
"Wait, it's only been a morning and they're already sold out?"
Chicken Yellow Hair sneered, "When did Yunlai Restaurant's business become so prosperous? How come I didn't know about it?"
Huo Xin pointed to a row of wooden signs on the wall behind the counter. Below the sign that read "Honey-Glazed Roast Whole Lamb" was another sign with the word "Seven" engraved on it. She asked Ji Huangmao what this meant.
Ji Huangmao explained enthusiastically that this meant that there were seven servings of honey-roasted whole lamb left today.
He turned around and looked at Yun Miao with a sly smile: "There are clearly seven copies left, but he said they are sold out. I don't think they are sold out, but he just doesn't want to sell them anymore? He has already taken the deposit and still does this. Isn't it obvious that he is playing a trick on you!"
"Don't stir up trouble here!"
Yun Lujia glared at Ji Huangmao with hatred, then said to Yun Miao in a sarcastic tone, "It was indeed the waiter who made a mistake. He definitely didn't mean to play a trick on the guests of Xuantian Sect. Even if the deal doesn't go through, we still have righteousness. We should not damage the relationship. I don't think the disciples of Xuantian Sect would be angry with my little restaurant over such a small matter, right?"
Huo Xin's face turned cold, and his eyes were like a sharp knife scraping across Yun Lujia's face.
"You obviously did it on purpose!"
Tan Xiaobai's face flushed red, and the folding fan in his hand faintly arced with electricity. Even Niu Rao was disgusted by Yun Lujia's behavior. His usually honest and simple face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, and the pressure of the Nascent Soul Stage began to spread around him.
"You said they were all sold out, but my spiritual sense clearly saw three freshly roasted honey-glazed whole lambs in the restaurant's kitchen. What's going on?"
Before Niu Rao finished speaking, a green figure flashed out from behind him.
Bang!
Before Yun Lujia could react, he fell to the ground in a mess. The next moment, the expressionless face of a girl in green appeared above him. She stood with her feet on his waist, holding a broken iron sword covered with grass in her hands and stabbed it straight at his throat!
At the critical moment, Yun Lujia subconsciously turned his head and drew the long sword at his waist to block forward.
The jewel-studded longsword and the chipped iron sword instantly collided, sending sparks flying. It was then that Yun Lujia, his mind completely blank, finally realized he had just faced a life-or-death situation. A drop of cold sweat trickled down his neck, and he angrily turned around, wanting to question the Xuantian Sect female disciple about her madness.
Did she not care about the reputation of Xuantian Sect? How dare she kill people in the street just for a few roasted whole lambs?
He was a member of the Yun family, even if he was a side branch. He represented the Yun family's reputation when he walked around. If she dared to kill him, wasn't she afraid that the Yun family would call the Xuantian Sect to account?!
However, when he turned his head and looked at the girl in green, all those angry questions were stuck in his throat.
The clear black and white almond-shaped eyes of the girl in green were examining him eagerly. Her gaze, which seemed to have substance, seemed to have penetrated through his skin and into his flesh and blood soul. She seemed to be looking at him, but also at something more secretive.
Yun Lujia suddenly felt cold all over, and a thought flashed through his mind: What is she looking at?
However, before he could delve into the issue, the girl in green attacked again.
When Tan Xiaobai saw Yun Miao taking action, he immediately waved his fan, and three lightning bolts like three silver snakes flew straight towards Yun Lujia.
"Boss, let me help you!"
Huo Xin had a cold face and said nothing. She just suddenly drew her sword, and the bright blade light slashed straight towards Yun Lujia's fragile neck.
"Don't hurt my young master!"
Hu Bo, who was standing by, could no longer sit still when he saw that the three men were attacking each other more ruthlessly than the last. He raised his hand to stop them, but a dark and burly figure blocked his way.
Niu Rao slowly clenched his fist towards Hu Bo: "What do you want to do to my fellow apprentices?"
Huber took a step back in fear and tried to explain: "No, no, no, I just..."
However, Niu Rao didn't want to listen to his explanation at all, and knocked him into the ground with just one punch.
There was a loud bang, and smoke and dust rose from the first floor of the restaurant. A deep pit appeared on the ground. The old man, who had been so energetic just now, lay at the bottom of the pit with a look of pain on his face. He staggered to his feet and spat out a mouthful of blood as soon as he opened his mouth.
The other thugs in the restaurant were planning to rush forward, but when they saw Hu Bo's miserable condition, they were so scared that they stopped and dared not move.
Ji Huangmao was watching from the side in amazement. It was indeed a bull demon. It had such tremendous strength at the Nascent Soul stage. It didn't even use much spiritual power in this punch, but it actually caused internal injuries to a cultivator at the fifth level of the Golden Core stage.
Like the guests at the Huangmao Tavern, the diners sitting on the first floor of the Yunlai Restaurant had already slipped away after realizing that something was wrong.
Yun Miao, Huo Xin, and Tan Xiaobai attacked swiftly and fiercely, leaving the tables, chairs, walls, and floors in tatters. Yun Lujia was also beaten back step by step. He was on the verge of death several times. If he hadn't been wearing a low-level protective armor, he would have died long ago.
As the light of the armor grew dimmer, a layer of cold sweat began to appear on Yun Lujia's forehead. The girl in black and the boy in yellow at least had some room for maneuver, but the girl in green had no concept of stopping when attacking. Every move was aimed at his life. She really wanted to kill him!
He begged for mercy in fear while dodging: "I was wrong, I am willing to compensate you! I will pay you whatever you want."
"Why? Xuantian Sect is a reputable and upright sect after all. You wouldn't kill people just for a few sheep, right?!"
"Because you intended to kill me."
Yun Miao's gaze swept over this weak NPC named [Realm: Qi Refining Stage 7, HP: 1400]... Oh no, that should be the red-named monster. The glowing red HP bar above his head was too conspicuous, making the player's sword eager to move.
Although everyone in the sect was very kind to her, and the daily games in the sect were quite interesting, players still needed a little excitement from time to time. Speaking of which, this seemed to be the first time she had encountered a humanoid monster that showed her a red name.
Yun Lujia saw the eagerness in the eyes of the girl in green, and also saw the chilling indifference in her eyes.
Although he had done many dirty things and his hands were stained with blood, he killed people for profit. He would never be like this girl who would not hesitate to raise the knife against his own kind just because of a few quarrels or because she so-called sensed the murderous intention of others.
Isn't the Xuantian Sect's most important consideration when accepting disciples a person's character? How could they accept such a heartless evildoer?!
You will die. You will really die if you continue like this!
"No, no, no, I'm from the Yun family and you can't kill me!"
Yun Lujia screamed and shouted madly:
"Since you are disciples of the Xuantian Sect, you must be aware that your leader recently accepted a new disciple named Yun Miao. Who do you think the Yun in Yun Miao is? It's the Yun of my Yun family! If you kill me, you will definitely regret it!"
"What?"
"Yun Miao?"
Tan Xiaobai and Huo Xin paused and looked at Yun Miao together.
Yun Miao also heard what Yun Lujia said, but the player who only wanted to kill monsters now had no interest in paying attention to this sudden plot. The sword in his hand was still stabbing straight towards his heart.
A crisp cracking sound was heard, and the dim light of the armor on Yun Lujia's body completely disappeared. The rusty tip of the sword pierced through his clothes and stabbed into his heart. A trickle of sticky blood slowly flowed down the blade.
Niu Rao, who had been watching from the side, finally took action. His big dark hand grabbed the tattered sword with many gaps in a flash, preventing it from stabbing any further.
Yun Lujia stood there with his eyes wide open, his legs trembling, and a faint trace of smelly water dripping from the hem of his clothes. He seemed to be still alive, but in fact he had been gone for a while.
Yun Miao gave it a tentative poke, and the sword curved into an arc, while the front end of the sword, held by Niu Rao, remained motionless. She pouted unhappily and looked over, "Senior Brother Niu..."
Niu Rao looked at her silently. The two of them stood in silence for a while. He looked away and sighed, "Junior Sister Yun, this really won't work."
Huo Xin sheathed his sword and walked over to Yun Miao, whispering, "Forget it, let's not trouble the Sect Leader. If you're still angry, we can find another opportunity to sack him a few more times."
Tan Xiaobai also whispered to Yun Miao, "Boss, the Yun family is indeed very difficult to deal with, and you are still serving your sentence. If you make another mistake, you will be punished more severely. If your sentence is increased again and again, won't you be farming in Danfeng for the rest of your life?"
Yun Miao let out a dissatisfied sound and drew back his sword.
She glanced disdainfully at the pale, disheveled Yun Lujia. "What did you just say? The Xuantian Sect's headmaster's clever and intelligent disciple is from your Yun family?"
The pain of the jagged sword tip being pulled out of the flesh was no less than that of a blunt knife cutting the flesh. Yun Lujia came back to his senses because of the severe pain, and as soon as he moved his feet, he staggered and was about to fall backwards.
Seeing this, the thugs hurried forward and helped the man sit aside. Hu Bo coughed and took out a pill for him to take. Yun Lujia thought that his previous call had worked. He swallowed the pill and looked at Yun Miao and others with a distorted expression, his eyes full of resentment and hatred.
"That's right, Yun Miao, the direct disciple of the Xuantian Sect's leader, is from my Yun family! Are you scared now? It's too late!"
He must get back this debt someday!
Huo Xin, Tan Xiaobai, and Niu Rao all looked at Yun Miao again. Yun Miao sneered, slowly took out her disciple token from her storage bag, and pointed it at Yun Lujia and others.
"Yun Miao...you're not talking about this Yun, this Miao, right?"
Yun Lujia's heart skipped a beat, and when he saw the words "Yun Miao" engraved on the bluestone token, his heart sank to the bottom.
His pupils constricted: "How is it possible... How could you..."
"My Yun is just Yun Miao's Yun. It has nothing to do with the Yun family, and even less to do with you. I'm not interested in a piece of shit like you, even if you kneel down and acknowledge me as your grandmother."
Yun Miao made no secret of his disdain: "You're still calling yourself a young master from an aristocratic family? I doubt you got this title by just randomly finding relatives here and there, did you?"
Tan Xiaobai immediately opened his folding fan and sneered, "I think it's likely that he got this by freeloading. I've seen this kind of people claiming relatives everywhere."
Huo Xin commented coldly: "Ridiculous."
Niu Rao realized that Yun Lujia was just borrowing Yun Miao's name to bully others, and his disgust for this man deepened.
The pressure from his Nascent Soul stage came directly over, causing Yun Lujia to bleed from his mouth and nose.
"If it happens again, I will never forgive you!"
Yun Lujia felt that the sarcasm and ridicule of these people were like a thin blade peeling off his face and stepping on it. He wanted to scream and roar, and wanted to kill everyone who saw this scene, but in the end he could only tremble and lower his head under the terrifying pressure of the Nascent Soul stage.
"Yes... I will definitely keep this in mind and will never do it again..."
He expressed his willingness to offer 10,000 low-grade spirit stones as compensation.
However, this time Yun Miao refused. She rejected the ten thousand spirit stones and only asked for the three roasted whole lambs in honey sauce. She showed a noble demeanor that treated money as dirt, which made Niu Rao nod repeatedly. Only Ji Huangmao curled his lips.
Soon, Yun Miao and others walked out of the dilapidated restaurant one after another. After their footsteps faded away, Yun Lujia, who was sitting on a chair, slowly raised his head and looked at the street outside the restaurant. His eyes were so resentful that they seemed to bleed.
*
After everyone returned to the Huangmao Tavern, Ji Huangmao, having received his compensation, quickly handed three thousand low-grade spirit stones to Yun Miao and said with a flattering smile, "I never thought you were the renowned disciple of the Xuantian Sect's headmaster, the clever and resourceful Master Yun Miao! I was blind to my true worth just now. Please forgive me for being so magnanimous..."
Yun Miao saw that the chicken had changed his previous attitude, flattered her a lot, and even gave her an extra 500 spirit stones. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and look at him again.
This chicken is even more mercenary than a human.
Yun Miao just liked the feeling of making money in the game. She didn't actually have much possessiveness for this ordinary game currency, so after sitting back in her seat, she divided the spirit stones into five equal parts. She took one part and gave the remaining four to Tan Xiaobai, Huo Xin, Niu Rao, and Grandma Hua.
Tan Xiaobai immediately took it with joy: "Thank you, Boss!"
Huo Xin didn't hesitate and put it away after saying thank you.
Niu Rao didn't want to take his junior sister's money, and Grandma Hua had no idea where the money came from, so she refused it in confusion. But in the end, they couldn't resist Yun Miao, so they had no choice but to accept the spirit stones.
An incense stick later, after a hearty meal in the tavern, everyone strolled along the streets of Luohua Town to digest their food, and bought a few chicks and ducklings on the way.
After returning to Grandma Hua's courtyard, Yun Miao used the Earth Control Technique to help Grandma Hua turn the vegetable patch again and sow new vegetable seeds.
Then she proudly showed everyone her little rain-calling technique. Tiny clouds floated above the vegetable field, and fine raindrops fell, moistening the soft soil that had just been hoeed. Then she used the grass-withering and tree-growing technique. The wood spirit power with vitality awakened the sleeping vegetable seeds, and little green sprouts quickly emerged from the soil.
Huo Xin was repairing the fence and chicken coop that were damaged by gophers. Although his movements were clumsy, they were very careful and meticulous.
Niu Rao helped Grandma Hua repair the old carved wooden bed.
Tan Xiaobai originally followed Yun Miao happily to help, but Yun Miao disliked his clumsiness and drove him away. Tan Xiaobai then went to help Huo Xin, but was soon disliked and driven aside by Huo Xin again.
So he went to help Niu Rao again. He originally wanted to use his powerful thunder spirit power to help Niu Rao split the wood, but...
Niu Rao looked at the blackened "lightning-struck wood" and helplessly pushed Tan Xiaobai aside. He then stuffed the basket of chicks and ducklings into his arms, telling him to play with the chicks and ducklings for a while and not to cause any more trouble.
Afterwards, they went to a nearby river to fish and catch shrimp. Yun Miao, Tan Xiaobai, and Huo Xin decided to compete to see who could catch the most without using spiritual power. Half an hour later, Huo Xin won.
Tan Xiaobai cheated by electrofishing and ended up electrocuting Yun Miao and Huo Xin who were also in the river. He was tied to a tree and beaten with willow branches.
In the next round, Yun Miao and Huo Xin decided to compete in digging earthworms without using spiritual power.
Half an hour later, Huo Xin looked at the small bowl of earthworms he had dug, then at Yun Miao's pile of earthworms, which had formed a small "hill" on the ground because the bowl couldn't hold them all. He silently picked up the hemp rope and tied her to the tree, then picked up the willow branches and started beating her.
Yun Miao, who was tied to a tree, cried out in injustice: "It's unfair. I didn't use the Earth Control Technique to cheat. I really dug all of this out with my own hard-working hands!"
Huo Xin sneered and whacked her on the butt with a willow branch. "Really? I never knew your arms could stretch so far. You've almost dug up all the earthworms within a hundred miles, and you still say you didn't cheat!"
Yun Miao: "It's just that the feng shui here is good, and there are more earthworms. My Lord, I really didn't cheat. I am wronged!"
Huo Xin: "You still dare to be stubborn? Look at the whip!"
Tan Xiaobai, who was on the tree, saw the opportunity to show his loyalty and shouted loudly: "Don't hit my boss, hit me if you want to!"
Huo Xin immediately walked towards Tan Xiaobai: "You are quite loyal. Okay, I will help you."
In less than a moment, Tan Xiaobai began to wail, "Ouch, ouch, stop it. Huo Xin, you should just hit my boss. Spare me! I confess, I confess everything!"
Yun Miao angrily shouted, "Xiaobai, you traitor!"
"Hahaha!"
Grandma Hua and Niu Rao stood by the river watching them play, laughing so amusedly that they felt as if the hurried time had slowed down.
Soon, it was dark. Niu Rao had originally planned to take Yun Miao and the other two back to the sect, but seeing their reluctant eyes and listening to Granny Hua's earnest pleas to stay, he touched the ox horns and finally decided to stay for one night before going back.
*
Late at night, everything was silent, dark clouds covered the moon, and the entire Luohua Town fell into a dark dream.
Yun Miao glanced at Huo Xin who was soundly sleeping, then she disappeared from the spot in a flash, and a jade ball slowly floated towards the window.
Because it was hot, the windows inside the house were left half-open for ventilation. So the ball quickly and silently floated out the window. Condensing all its precious light, it clung to the ground, slowly drifting out of the yard along the corner of the wall like a snail.
In another room, Tan Xiaobai was already fast asleep, with a smile on his handsome face, as if he was having a sweet dream.
Niu Rao was meditating and practicing. Most monks who have practiced for many years are accustomed to using meditation instead of sleep.
During this time, he left a little bit of his consciousness vaguely covering the courtyard, so that if he sensed an invasion from outside, he would immediately wake up. Unfortunately, this little consciousness did not notice that a "little snail" had slipped out of the courtyard.
