"Shop Owner Xiao, you are finally back. I have been looking for you several times."

Just hearing this charming voice made his skin crawl all over, he thought.

"You came to me several times, just twice, right?"

But on the surface he still smiled.

"I also have a lot of things to do and am very busy."

She smiled and continued.

"I wonder if the store manager has any pastries with better detoxification effect than Mung Bean Cakes. I need it urgently."

Hearing Ya Fei's request, he was also stunned for a moment.

Is it such a coincidence? He just put the upgraded version of Mung Bean Cakes on the shelves today, and now he has customers.

"Ahem, you came at the right time. I have just developed an upgraded version of Mung Bean Cakes. The detoxification effect is ten times that of the ordinary Mung Bean Cakes."

Hearing Xiao Cheng describe the effect of the upgraded version Mung Bean Cakes, she couldn't help but open her mouth.

"The detoxification effect is ten times stronger than the original Mung Bean Cakes. This... is this true?"

He nodded.

"My store manager never tells lies, and he is fair and honest."

He looked at Ya Fei with a smile.

At this time, the chief auctioneer of Mittel Auction House also started thinking.

After a moment, he said to him.

"I ordered the upgraded version Mung Bean Cakes for 20 yuan. Is it available now?"

"Yes, but are you sure you want to ask about the price first?"

He looked at this charming woman and said with some surprise.

"Price? Is it expensive?"

Black lines appeared on his head. Could it be that the legendary rich man spent a lot of money and couldn't afford to offend him?

"It's not expensive, six hundred and twenty-eight Gold Coins each. Are you sure you want twenty more?"

After listening to Xiao Cheng's words, she thought about it and nodded firmly.

"I need twenty Mung Bean Cakes upgraded versions."

Seeing that she was still like this, I couldn't continue to persuade her, so I nodded and asked Xiao Yi Xian to wrap two paper bags. Each paper bag contained an upgraded version of Mung Bean Cakes.

Ya Fei happily paid nearly 12,000 Gold Coins. He is really a wealthy person.

After buying the pastries, the woman left.

However, in his opinion, there will definitely be trouble coming in the future.

He sighed silently and thought to himself.

"Take one step and watch one step."

Just when he was about to turn around and take a rest, he heard a familiar voice calling him.

"Shop Owner Xiao, I heard that you traveled far away?"

He looked back and smiled when he saw it was Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Yan, I just came back, why do you have time to come over to my place?"

The child of destiny only smiled awkwardly.

"I've finished all the pastries, so... hehe"

Seeing this guy's awkward smile, he knew that this kid must have been practicing recklessly every day. He was really a fool.

"Okay, by the way, what kind of cultivation do you have now? Have you got Five-star Dou Shi?"

When Xiao Cheng asked about his cultivation, his face turned ugly and he suddenly felt miserable.

"I just broke through the four-star Dou Master this morning, and there is still a long way to go before Five-star Dou Shi"

Xiao Cheng couldn't help but nodded slightly after hearing this, but in his heart he was planning whether to wait until something to improve his cultivation would be given to Xiao Yan to try, and he didn't know if it was possible.

He quickly asked the system.

"Can the things that the system obtains from gift packs, scratch cards, or other lottery draws to improve one's cultivation level be given to outsiders?"

Yes, but it cannot be specially made by the store manager or exclusive to the store manager. That will harm the user. "That's right. I don't know when this kind of mission will be available again. Let's talk about it then."

The time it took to communicate these few words to the system only took two or three seconds.

he said with a smile.

"What kind of cakes are you here to buy?"

"I don't have much money left, so I just need to buy two packs of Peanut Nougat."

Hearing that Xiao Yan only bought two packs of this, he couldn't help but grimace.

"How can you buy so few things, Xiao Yi Xian, give Xiao Yan four packs of Peanut Nougat, another pound of Sticky Rice Strips, and a piece of Shredded Pork Floss Pastry."

Xiao Yi Xian nodded after hearing this and went to prepare to wrap the pastries.

At this time, Xiao Yan waved his hands and shook his head.

"I can't accept your pastries anymore. How can this be done?"

"Just take it if it's given to you. When you become stronger, just help me when I'm in trouble."

Immediately, Xiao Yan was moved when he heard what Xiao Cheng said, so he nodded and agreed.

Looking at the back of Xiao Yan leaving, I couldn't help but wipe the non-existent sweat from my head and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's really not easy to spend resources on this guy in various ways, phew~"

Then he stretched, and just as he was about to turn around and go back, he saw Xiao Lu running over in a hurry. He also twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking to himself.

"Why is this guy everywhere?"

"Store manager, one day is like three autumns between us."

Hearing Xiao Lu's words, he couldn't help but trembled and said quickly.

"Go on, I'm not familiar with you, tell me, what are you doing here?"

He chuckled.

"Um... I want to buy some pastries"

Xiao Cheng said with a head full of black lines.

"I know you are here to buy pastries. What are you going to do if you don't buy pastries at Ruyi Zhai? I'm asking you what kind of pastries you want to buy. I can recommend it to you."

"I am a poor man, you know"

He just laughed, you are such a poor man, I believe you.

"Then you'd better buy the cheapest Sesame Candy"

"Uh... okay"

In the end, the guy bought a pound of Sticky Rice Strips and a few pieces of Sesame Candy and left.

Seeing that no one finally came, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, I can finally be clean for a while."

He sat on the chair, leaned back, closed his eyes and began to take a nap.

Within the Misty Cloud Sect.

At this time, Yun Yun frowned.

Because in the past few days, he found that his master seemed to be different, and seemed to be much colder.

Although she felt that her master's cultivation had become stronger, it was as if she had suddenly changed as a person, and her personality had also undergone a big change.

This anomaly made her feel uneasy.

"What happened to Master? Is he possessed by some residual soul?"

All kinds of speculations lingered in her mind, but she still believed that the master was still the same master and would not change.

She thought for a while that she might ask Shop Owner Xiao. She didn't know if he would have a solution, but how would she know if she didn't try.

So she wrote a letter and sent it to Wutan City Ruyi Zhai.

He looked at Back Mountain, his eyes revealed worry and sadness, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly.

In fact, what Yun Yun doesn't know is whether Yun Shan's personality has changed so much, or because he took the elixir given to him by Protector Wu, which made Yun Shan break through to One-star Dou Zong, but at the same time, the cold breath in the elixir given to him changed Yun Shan's original personality.

It also made him become the character he is now, becoming even colder.

This will gradually make his personal behavior more brutal and cruel, and it will gradually become apparent.

After Protector Wu's two plans to kill Xiao Cheng failed, he didn't feel angry at all. Instead, he became more interested in Xiao Cheng and wanted this store even more.

So he plans to make a plan for Xiao Cheng.

But this is a big conspiracy for Xiao Cheng, but he has no idea at this time.

A conspiracy against him is brewing...
