Immortal's Joyful Tea

In a short while, the two arrived at Chang Le Tian. It was designed to resemble Luofu's night scene, with many shops and food stalls concentrated here. The streets were bustling with people, incredibly lively.

Bai Sheng looked into the distance, contemplating how to navigate through the dense crowd.

"There are so many people here."

Bai Sheng couldn't help but sigh.

Huohuo nodded beside him and explained:

"Because today is a rest day, many offices are closed. Many people have been looking forward to this day to relax. Moreover, this is Luofu's peak tourist season, so there will be more outsiders than usual."

"Is that so? Should we grab something to eat first? I remember you haven't had dinner yet, Huohuo, right?"

Bai Sheng suggested. Huohuo naturally wouldn't refuse, so she nodded:

"Okay, does Ah Sheng know where to eat?"

This question stumped Bai Sheng. He usually cooked for himself and didn't know much about Luofu's cuisine. Furthermore, because he had to work at the Ten Lords Bureau, even his own barbecue shop had been closed for a long time.

"Are you two looking for a place to eat?"

Just then, a girl asked them.

Bai Sheng looked at her. The girl had reddish-orange hair tied in a single ponytail, adorned with an orange flower. Her eyes were a noble gold. She wore a white dress with black clothing, a red skirt as an outer garment, and of course, a pair of black stockings.

"You are..."

Bai Sheng was a little confused by the girl who suddenly appeared, but the results from the Spirit Puppet indicated that this young lady was not a bad person.

"You two, I know all the best food in Chang Le Tian. I can lead the way, hehe."

The maiden rubbed her hands, her golden eyes fixed on the two.

"Reason."

Bai Sheng said, one must remain vigilant, even if the other party was friendly.

"You two kind people, I haven't eaten in three days. So, if it's possible, could you take me along?"

The maiden knelt down shamelessly and hugged Huohuo's leg, crying about her experience.

"Ah!"

This startled Huohuo. She tried to push the girl away with her hand but couldn't. Then, she looked at Bai Sheng with a pitiful expression.

"Ah Sheng..."

Bai Sheng couldn't stand Huohuo looking like that. He picked up the maiden and asked with a stern gaze:

"Next, I'll ask questions, and you'll answer. Don't think about lying! I can tell."

The maiden quickly nodded. As Bai Sheng spoke, he released his Path energy. Although it was [Harmony], it surpassed that of most Pathwalkers, which was enough to deal with this girl.

"Yes, yes, yes, ask away. Little sister will tell you everything."

"Name."

"Guinevere."

"Gender."

"Does that even need asking? Ugh, ugh, ugh, I'll tell you, female."

"Purpose."

"I'm really hungry after not eating for so long and want to find a kind person to treat me to a meal. I can perform talents, so I won't eat your food for free."

"How did you come to Luofu?"

"Sorry, I can't say that. But I've been in Luofu for a very long time."

"Since you said you've been here for a long time, why don't you find a job instead of begging?"

"Don't say it so harshly. I'm a street performer, but my performance tools were stolen by someone."

"I've been looking for three days without finding them. I wanted to solve this myself, but as you can see, I haven't found them, and I've spent all my money."

"Confirmed, truth."

Bai Sheng's eyes, which had turned gold at some point, slowly faded back to blue. The Spirit Puppet's results were accurate, and it seemed the maiden was being honest.

"Huohuo, do you want her to come with us?"

Bai Sheng gave Huohuo the choice. Although Huohuo didn't quite like overly enthusiastic girls like this, she agreed out of sympathy.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Really? Thank you so much! Family!"

Guinevere's furrowed brows relaxed, and she radiated joy.

"Come, come, come, family, this way. Let me take you to try the most famous Immortal's Joyful Tea in Chang Le Tian!"

After speaking, Guinevere led Huohuo and Bai Sheng to a milk tea shop. She pointed to the sign on the shop's entrance, which read:

"Our Bestseller - Immortal's Joyful Tea."

Bai Sheng bought three cups, with normal sugar. After waiting for a while, he saw the staff hand the three cups of seemingly delicious milk tea to the trio.

It wasn't expensive, only a little over three thousand credit points. This price was considered cheap.

Beneath the milk tea were black pearls, topped with a layer of milk foam and sprinkled with some candy beans for decoration. The orange straw perfectly matched the milk tea's color scheme.

"So good!"

Huohuo drank the milk tea, a strange smile appearing on her face. Her two large ears twitched happily, and her tail wagged back and forth. The little fox was adorable no matter how you looked at her.

Guinevere felt the same way; anything free tasted better.

Bai Sheng thought it was decent, but he wasn't a big fan of the pearls at the bottom of the milk tea. He'd just choked on one when he used too much force.

"Cough, cough."

Seeing Bai Sheng choke, Huohuo quickly patted his back to help.

"Ah Sheng, how is it?"

Bai Sheng waved his hand:

"It's nothing, I just choked. What bad luck. I don't like these pearls."

Seeing Bai Sheng acting like a child, Huohuo couldn't help but smile:

"It's okay, it's okay. When we get back, I'll write you some talismans to bring you good luck."

Guinevere watched the two of them, then bit down on her straw and quietly retreated to drink her milk tea alone.

"Thanks! Let's keep exploring."

Bai Sheng unintentionally touched Huohuo's hair. Her hair was very soft and smooth to the touch.

Huohuo's face turned bright red, but she didn't resist.

"Boss, two Immortal's Joyful Teas, the usual, extra sugar please.

Well, I never. Who is this? Bai Sheng, how have you been lately?"

As Bai Sheng and Huohuo were chatting and laughing, Fu Xuan came over to greet them.

"Esteemed Fu Xuan, thank you for your concern... hiss, what's that word again?..."

Bai Sheng wanted to reply but couldn't recall the right word.

"There's no need to be so formal. Just speak however you're comfortable."

Fu Xuan said. Not everyone could master the Xianzhou language. For Bai Sheng, an outsider, Fu Xuan felt it was already quite good that he could use the phrase "thank you for your concern."

"Alright, I guess I'm just not used to this way of speaking. I've been doing well lately. How about you, Esteemed Fu Xuan?"

"Everything is as usual for me. As for Jing Yuan, he's always slacking off, leaving piles of work to be done. You should go talk to him when you have time."

Fu Xuan said angrily.

Jing Yuan's laziness wasn't a new thing. In the past, a little nagging would work, but now he'd just run off to the Alchemy Commission to laze around.

If someone doesn't want to be a General, others would gladly take the position. If she could write complaint letters, Fu Xuan would have a mountain of them by now.

"But, are you out with your girlfriend?"
