Energetic Girl Liu Erlong Applies to Gathering Fragrance Pavilion

Heaven Dou Empire, Outer City District. A pretty girl with fiery red hair hurried along in a blaze of energy. A figure suddenly stepped out from around a corner, and before she could react, she crashed right into him.

"Ow!"

After the collision, the figure did not budge in the slightest, while the little red-haired girl fell to the ground.

"Little girl, you should slow down when you walk."

The figure turned around and extended his fair, warm hand toward her.

That was right, this person was Fu Ye Mian. He had never expected that Liu Erlong was still only a fifteen-year-old little girl at this point in time.

Yet that only proved that Yu Xiaogang from the original story really knew how to play.

After studying martial souls for years and calling himself a master, he could not even recognize his own cousin. Then, later in the original story, he even put on some sort of romance-and-ethics drama and got together with his own cousin.

Fu Ye Mian could only say that he played it wild. It was worth learning from.

Still, this was not something one could imitate just because they wanted to. After all, he was an orphan, and his parents and relatives had all died cleanly and completely.

"Ow, my head."

The girl rubbed her little head. When she looked up, she saw Fu Ye Mian's handsome face.

"So handsome." The carefree girl blurted it out almost instinctively.

What young girl did not harbor romantic feelings? Even Liu Erlong, who had been fiery and impulsive since childhood, was no exception.

Seeing him extend his hand toward her, she dazedly reached out with her own fair little hand.

"Rustle, rustle."

Fu Ye Mian effortlessly pulled her up from the ground.

"Little girl, slow down when you walk. It would be bad if a carriage suddenly came by."

Fifteen-year-old Liu Erlong was barely 1.6 meters tall, while Fu Ye Mian stood at 1.85 meters. He had to lower his head to look down at her.

After patting her little head, he prepared to leave. They had only met by "chance," after all, so directly asking her name would not have been appropriate.

"I'm not some little girl! My name is Liu Erlong, and I'm already fifteen years old. I'm an adult!"

Hearing Liu Erlong call out behind him, Fu Ye Mian did not turn back. He simply spoke as he walked.

"Mm, hello, Little Master."

He waved behind him and soon disappeared from Liu Erlong's sight.

"Damn it, that guy."

Liu Erlong was instantly annoyed by Fu Ye Mian's attitude.

But Gathering Fragrance Pavilion near the imperial city had recently been hiring staff. She had heard that working there could earn loads and loads of money, so she wanted to try her luck. Maybe she could get hired!

With that thought, she stopped caring about the person who had called her a child.

Fu Ye Mian sensed Liu Erlong's destination, and surprise flashed across his face.

As far as he knew, this little girl Liu Erlong currently lived in the outskirts beyond the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial city. Why was she heading toward the Inner City District?

He had nothing better to do anyway. Ah Yin was currently in the Star Dou Great Forest, while Yuehua was still teaching at Moonlight Pavilion. He had become something of an idle man.

Fu Ye Mian changed direction and slowly followed this little girl Liu Erlong.

As he walked, however, he calculated his plans for the future and the point in time to which the Time Teleportation Card had sent him.

Tang Hao and Qian Xunji would face a calamity nine years from now. He needed to go deal with it, since the birth of the Child of Destiny was still very important.

It would be funny if Tang Hao decided he did not want a child and just sprayed it on the wall.

After that came the point in the timeline where he would enter the plot. He needed to find the most perfect time and place to insert himself.

Thinking this, Fu Ye Mian followed little Liu Erlong to... his own home?

Inner City District, Gathering Fragrance Pavilion.

The moment Liu Erlong entered Gathering Fragrance Pavilion, the attendants inside immediately bowed to welcome her, their attitudes incomparably warm.

"Hello, little sister. May I ask if you came here alone to dine?"

Hearing the attendant's words, Liu Erlong shook her head.

"Big sister, are you still hiring here? I want to apply for a job!"

Liu Erlong blinked her big sparkling eyes, looking hopefully at the attendant greeting guests by the entrance.

"Yes, little sister. Please come with me."

The greeter led Liu Erlong into Gathering Fragrance Pavilion. In truth, she had initially wanted to refuse her, but she had heard Fu Ye Mian's message.

"It's fine. Let the little girl go in and give it a try."

The wages at Gathering Fragrance Pavilion were frighteningly high. After all, it was near the imperial city, where the flow of people was absurdly large.

Gathering Fragrance Pavilion was now considered an upscale establishment in the eyes of commoners and a place to eat in the eyes of nobles. Yet when nobles hosted banquets here, it was not the slightest bit lacking in prestige.

For commoners, eating here merely cost two or three times as much as an ordinary meal. The ingredients were good, the environment was good, and the food tasted good as well.

It was also a fine place for ordinary commoners to treat their friends on normal days.

"Boss."

When Fu Ye Mian entered through the doors, the attendant standing off to one side hurriedly bowed.

"It's fine. Go about your work. Don't mind me."

With that, Fu Ye Mian walked directly inside. Yet as soon as he entered, he spotted an old acquaintance he had not seen for a long time.

"You haven't come here for a meal in more than half a year. How have you been lately?"

Upon hearing Fu Ye Mian's voice, the man immediately stopped speaking with the young man seated before him. He turned around and bowed to Fu Ye Mian.

"Your Excellency Fu Ye Mian."

Hm? What was this about? Your Excellency?

"Brother Chen Xin, what do you mean by this? Why are you calling me Your Excellency?"

Fu Ye Mian sat down directly opposite him. Beside him sat a handsome, well-built young man.

"Thanks to Your Excellency's blessing, after that moment of enlightenment half a year ago, my stagnant cultivation finally began to stir. I only broke through today, so I naturally came to thank Your Excellency."

Hm? Chen Xin had broken through to become a Titled Douluo? That was five or six years earlier than in the original story!

"Sit. Since you've come to my Gathering Fragrance Pavilion, enjoy a proper meal. I'm only eighteen this year. Calling me Your Excellency makes me sound old."

As Fu Ye Mian spoke, he waved Xiao Li Zi over.

"Boss! You're here! What would you like to eat today? I'll tell the kitchen to make it right away."

When Xiao Li Zi saw Fu Ye Mian, he treated him even better than his own father. After working here for three or four years, this mere Soul Grandmaster had not only earned enough money to buy a house, but had also married a beautiful wife.

He had nothing but the utmost respect for Fu Ye Mian.

"Take these ingredients to the kitchen. Let them improvise. Just make it quick."

With a casual wave, Fu Ye Mian handed Xiao Li Zi everything from Thousand-Year Earth Dragon Tendon to the Bear Paw of a thousand-year Earth Bear.

"Got it! Boss, just wait. The dishes will be here soon!"

As Xiao Li Zi left, Fu Ye Mian turned to look at the refined young man seated beside him.

"What is this brother's name?"
