Rakshasa City Ruyi Zhai here.
Xiao Yu was a little bored at this time, so he started chatting with Xue Ni. The main reason was that there were not many people coming to buy pastries, and the auction of Black Seal City was about to start today, so most people went to join in the fun.
"When do you think the store manager will be back? I'm not used to being without one person all of a sudden."
After hearing this, Xue Ni smiled and shook his head.
"I'm afraid you don't have any thoughts about our store manager!"
She flicked Xue Ni's forehead and said.
"Don't be ridiculous, I just feel that without the store manager as the person making the final decisions, the atmosphere is a little less lively."
"The store manager will be back soon, but I'm curious about what the store manager's main store looks like?"
Xue Ni fantasized with a look of anticipation.
Seeing Xue Ni and Xiao Yu looking like this, they were also speechless and couldn't help but laugh.
"Xue'er, you still want to go to the main store in your current state. Dream on, Xiaonizi."
Seeing that Xiao Yu dared to tease her like this, Xue Ni started making trouble with Xiao Yu. The two of them laughed, but they stopped fighting.
Zi Yan came to Xiao Yu at this time and asked.
"Where did Xiao Cheng go?"
"Zi Yan, the store manager has gone back to the main store to get busy. He should be back soon."
Zi Yan curled his lips after hearing this explanation, but didn't say anything. He just looked at Xiao Yu while covering his belly and said pitifully.
"Sister, I'm hungry"
Seeing Zi Yan's pitiful appearance, he also laughed and cursed.
"Okay, stop acting. I know you girl just wants to eat pastries. Eat it. Anyway, the store manager will make it when he comes. But don't eat too much."
Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Zi Yan nodded his little head hurriedly, but his little eyes were always staring at the pastries in Iron Tray.
Seeing the look in this girl's eyes, she took some of each pastry and piled it into a big Iron Tray, which was almost full of pastries.
She put the Iron Tray pastry on a simple assembly table and said to Zi Yan.
"Okay, I've brought you some of each pastry. This big Iron Tray is enough to satisfy your craving."
"Thank you sister Xiao Yu"
After saying that, the girl didn't care anymore. She grabbed a handful of Sticky Rice Strips and stuffed it into her mouth. Seeing this, she also shook her head.
"This girl is probably hopeless."
At this moment, Fan Qian didn't know what happened to make him happy, so he came over with a smile.
"Hey, isn't Shop Owner Xiao here?"
"The store manager is out. He probably has to wait a few days before he comes back. By the way, what kind of pastries do you want to buy?"
Xiao Yu explained to Fan Qian, and then asked him what pastries he wanted.
"Shop Owner Xiao actually went out, so forget it, give me one pound of Honeyed Shortbread and one pound of Sticky Rice Strips. Although I am stupid and can't increase my understanding, it can still satisfy my greed."
Hearing Fan Qian's words, Xiao Yu didn't know what to say. Sticky Rice Strips's effects can't save you. You are really useless and cannot be used anymore.
But on the surface she still smiled and said.
"It's okay. If one pound of Sticky Rice Strips doesn't work, then use two pounds. If two pounds doesn't work, then use three pounds. There will always be an epiphany."
Fan Qian also readily accepted Xiao Yu's kindness and said with a smile.
"I no longer have any hope for myself, and my current cultivation level is very good."
Although his cultivation is a little weaker than Xiao Cheng, Fan Qian is a very satisfied person, so he doesn't value his own strength too much, but he is very good at eating.
In fact, Xiao Cheng didn't know that this guy was very knowledgeable about food. If he knew that this guy actually had some unique insights into food, I guess the two of them would definitely chat together.
"I'll leave first and go back to study my unique recipe."
Looking at Fan Qian's leaving figure, the corners of their mouths couldn't help but twitch.
Although Fan Qian's figure is not considered fat, she is still a little on the fatter side.
At this time, although Che Cheng was leisurely scanning the ground near Ruyi Zhai, his eyes were always paying attention to the surroundings, which showed that he had been paying attention to the situation on Xiao Yu's side.
It's just that at this moment, Xiao Yu and the other two didn't notice the abnormality of Che Cheng. Even the girl Zi Yan forgot about it while eating cakes, so she would have paid attention to Che Cheng.
Black Seal City Auction has already started, and many forces have already arrived.
Fan Lao, the master of the Blood Sect, people from Rakshasa Gate, people from the Black Emperor Sect, etc.
The main reason is that all the major forces suddenly received a piece of bombshell news before the auction started.
That is, there is actually Ruyi Zhai pastry in this auction.
Although most forces don't understand what this means, there are also forces with extensive intelligence who have investigated it. Among them, there is a force named Mad Lion Gang who is interested in this pastry.
Mad Lion Gang and Rakshasa Gate are both first-class forces, but Rakshasa Gate is no longer what it used to be. If the current Mad Lion Gang were to fight with it, it would probably be overwhelmed by the current Rakshasa Gate.
The gang leader of Mad Lion Gang is called Wu Tie, who is also a Dou Huang expert (I don't know what his cultivation level is, so I just made it up). Although he only has a two-star Dou Emperor, his combat power should not be underestimated.
At this moment, Wu Tie was in a box at the auction and was chatting about this pastry with his son Wu Qi next to him.
"Father, I feel that since the news about this pastry spread before the auction started, it must be something extraordinary, so I feel that I must get it."
After hearing his son's words, he thought for a while and said.
"Although we, Mad Lion Gang, are also a big force of Black Corner Region, with our current assets, it is estimated that we cannot compete with those forces that are stronger than us. Perhaps we can investigate the origin of this pastry and start from the source."
Wu Tie's analysis is also reasonable. Although their Mad Lion Gang current force is a first-class force, it only looks like that on the surface. If we really want to start a serious war, Mad Lion Gang most people will not be their opponents.
Regarding his father's words, Wu Qi also nodded and said.
"I thought it was easy, so just do what my father said. However, I guess now Rakshasa Gate, Kui Lang Gang, and forces similar to me are also planning the source of this pastry."
He sneered.
"I Mad Lion Gang must get this pastry"
Wu Qi nodded and said nothing more.
At this time, in the box where Blood Sect's people were, Fan Lao and Fan Ling were standing together, the former's brows furrowed.
"I didn't expect that Shop Owner Xiao's pastry would appear in this auction. It seems that Eight Sects Gate has already cooperated with Shop Owner Xiao, but that doesn't matter. The most important thing is that we don't know whether this pastry is something we already know or whether it is a new pastry."
Fan Ling asked on the side.
"If it's a new pastry, I'd probably test the pastry's effect first. If you don't know the pastry's effect, how can you auction it?"
"That's true, but I'm always worried that Eight Sects Gate may have known about the effect of this pastry before putting it up for auction."
Hearing his father's words, Fan Ling fell silent.
But Fan Lao smiled and said.
"Anyway, I won't compete with them for this pastry. When the time comes, don't you go to the store to find out the information? Everything will be clear, right?"
Fan Ling's eyes lit up, he smiled and nodded.
"Father is right, haha"
The two of them laughed and planned to go to Ruyi Zhai to learn about the situation after the auction.
Because of the news about this mysterious pastry, most of the forces began to get involved and started to understand what this pastry was, but basically no one knew what it was.
Only a few powerful people know this inside information.
This auction started to get lively.
