Xiao Cheng and Xiao Wu stood in this busy street and looked at the houses in the distance. Then he walked forward for a while and recalled the plot here.
After a moment, he thought about it.
"Ice Emperor seems to be in a store that sells maps. It seems that I need to find someone to ask where the store that sells maps is?
I took Xiao Wu to find a random person and asked.
But the people here are not very good-tempered and seem a little impatient.
It was only after asking three or four people that I finally figured out the location of the store that sold the map.
I found it based on the directions asked by passers-by.
After a while, Xiao Cheng and Xiao Wu found the store named "Ancient Maps".
Xiao Cheng glanced around and found that this store was not as luxurious as other stores, and had a vaguely quaint atmosphere.
And after walking into the store, I didn't find anything special. The faint light of Moonlight Stone illuminated the store much brighter, but there were basically no people in the store and it seemed a bit deserted.
But an old man with white hair at the counter was concentrating on making a map. Although he looked very old, the withered hands used to draw the map were strong and steady.
"It seems that this old man is undoubtedly Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, but I can't ask directly yet, I have to be more tactful."
Then he said to the old man.
"I want to buy a map"
The old man didn't mean to raise his head at all, he just said the order.
"The map is over there on the bookshelf. Get it yourself."
Seeing the old man's attitude, Xiao Cheng didn't feel unhappy at all. Instead, he said with a smile.
"Actually, I only bought the map as a gift. The real purpose is for you."
As soon as Xiao Cheng finished saying this, the old man's hand drawing the map paused for a moment, his eyes flickered a few times, and then he continued to draw the map in his hand.
Seeing the old man's reaction, the corners of Xiao Cheng's mouth curved up, and he said something shocking.
"Ice Emperor Hai Bodong"
These five words sounded like a bolt from the blue in the old man's ears. Suddenly the ink pen in his hand was pinched. He looked at Xiao Cheng with sharp eyes and asked in a somewhat solemn tone.
"Who are you?"
"Don't be so excited. I'll go. Why is it so cold? I'm here to help you."
He was really angry when he saw the old man, and although this Haibodong was reduced to the strength of Dou Ling by Medusa, it was not something that the current Xiao Cheng could resist.
There was already a biting cold air around Haibodong, and there was a layer of frost all around on the ground.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Cheng said quickly.
"I am just a store manager, but I can help you solve your current problem. Let your strength return to its peak."
This sentence seemed to mention some taboo, Haibodong condensed a piece of frost in his palm and smacked it towards Xiao Cheng.
At the critical moment, Xiao Wu dodged and stood in front of Xiao Cheng. He moved Dou Qi in the same way, palm to palm, and a majestic aura emitted from the two of them.
Xiao Cheng was forced by this momentum to take several steps back before he could steady himself.
And Haibodong's pupils shrank, and a huge wave surged in his heart.
He never expected that the strong man next to the young man was so strong that he could easily block his palm.
Then he quickly retracted his palm, took two steps back, stared at Xiao Cheng with sharp eyes, and asked word by word.
"Who are you?"
Although he could tell that Haibodong seemed a little afraid of Xiao Wu, he was also wary and curious about him.
"I told you that I'm just the manager of a pastry shop and I'm here to help you, but it's a pity that you don't believe me."
He pretended to be innocent and said, his expression seemed a little helpless.
Seeing Xiao Cheng like this, Haibodong's brows furrowed even deeper, and then he asked warily.
"Who did you know my identity from?"
Seeing that the old man was still so vigilant, he immediately made it clear.
"I'll tell you the truth, I'm just here to find you, Haibodong, don't worry, I don't have any other intentions for you, don't worry."
Seeing Haibodong still staring at him warily, he spread his hands and said.
"Even if I want to do something to you, I have such a helper who has already attacked you, and will talk to you so much, then I am not talking nonsense?"
After hearing what Xiao Cheng said, Haibodong's vigilance dropped a little, and then he asked in a deep voice.
"You have a way to restore me to my peak strength?"
Xiao Cheng shook his head decisively.
"There is nothing I can do now, but I promise that there will be a way to help you regain your strength in the future. I just want you to be my bodyguard. Don't worry, you won't suffer any loss if you follow me."
"I still don't quite believe what you say. Do you have any reason why I can believe you?"
He still had the slightest suspicion about Xiao Cheng, so he asked cautiously.
"I know that your cultivation level was sealed by Queen Medusa. Currently, you only have the cultivation level of Dou Ling, right?"
After hearing Xiao Cheng describe his current situation in such detail and thoroughness, he thought for a while and said.
"Prove your ability. As long as you have a reason or something else that can convince me, I can agree to any of your requests."
Seeing Haibodong relent, Xiao Cheng nodded, took out a piece of Mung Bean Cakes from his personal backpack, handed it to him, and said to him.
"This is Mung Bean Cakes. Although it cannot improve your current situation, it can slightly loosen the seal of Queen Medusa."
Taking the piece of Mung Bean Cakes, he looked it over and found that there was nothing too strange about it. Two people raised their heads and glanced at Xiao Cheng. Seeing him smiling at him, they quickly ate the Mung Bean Cakes.
After a while, he seemed to feel that his body felt a lot more relaxed, and he could barely use the slightest bit of his suppressed cultivation.
But he was shocked in his heart. It was really unbelievable that just a piece of pastry could have such a magical effect.
Looking up at the young man who smiled at him, he felt that there was a sense of mystery about this boy, as if he was hidden in the fog, appearing and disappearing, making it difficult for people to see through.
"Boy, although I can't completely believe you, but based on this thing you just took out, I will bet once and believe you for the time being, but if you lie to me..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of cold air suddenly surged around him, freezing the surrounding ground with a layer of frost.
Regarding Haibodong's warning, Xiao Cheng shrugged indifferently.
"Okay, let's get to know each other. My name is Xiao Cheng. I am the manager of a pastry shop and a very ordinary pastry chef."
"I am Haibodong, my name is Ice Emperor"
There was still a sense of arrogance in his tone, which was due to his character.
Xiao Cheng didn't take it seriously at all and smiled at him.
"I wonder if Elder Hai is willing to come with me now?"
Hearing what Xiao Cheng said, Haibodong hesitated and thought for a while, then nodded.
"Okay, I will follow you while you don't help me recover."
Although the tone is a bit arrogant, Xiao Cheng's attitude seems to be very good.
The three people walked out of the map store, and Haibodong followed Xiao Cheng.
Xiao Cheng led them in another direction, obviously intending to visit Stone Desert City.
Now what Xiao Cheng is thinking about is whether he should accept Qing Lin with Jade-Eyed Three-Flower Pupils as a clerk.
Although this little girl has a tragic life experience, she is indeed the best candidate to be a store clerk.
"Oh, who made me so kind? Let's go, Stone Desert City"
The three people walked in the direction of Stone Desert City.
