Hearing Granny Red's worried words, Wen Ning felt confident. She must know that the person at the top is Maoshan.
Granny Red sighed softly, put a gentle look on his face again, turned his head to look at the little Fox Demon who had rounded-up belly at the table, and asked
"Children, how are you eating? When you are full, tidy up. It's time for us to go back."
Hearing this, all the little Fox Demon put down the chicken bones in their hands one after another, their furry little mouths were shiny, and each of them raised their round belly and answered in unison, with a milky voice.
"You're full! Granny Red!"
Xiao Bai held his bulging belly and swept his little tail briskly behind him. The grievances he suffered before had been completely healed by the fragrant roast chicken.
Granny Red looked at these carefree little guys, turned around and led a group of little Fox Demon towards the door of the inn, ready to go back
When Wen Ning and Shi Dajian saw this, they immediately stood up together, followed closely behind, and planned to leave the inn with everyone.
But just when a group of people were about to step out of the store, a voice came from behind
"My dear guests, please stay a moment. Your roast chicken has not yet been paid for."
Wen Ning stopped subconsciously and his eyes fell on Granny Red. Shi Dajian also stopped and looked blankly at Granny Red in front of him.
In the two people's understanding, it was Granny Red who took the initiative to invite them to the inn to have a meal, and it was Granny Red who ordered twenty roast chickens with a wave of his hand. Granny Red should foot the bill of course.
But the next second, Granny Red turned around, looked at the two people facing each other calmly, and spoke confidently
"What are you looking at me for? I am an old man living alone in Demon Village. I have no money and no treasure. Where can I find the money to settle the bill?"
She spread her hands and her tone couldn't be more natural.
"You two distinguished guests from outside come to dine with me. Since I'm away from home, it's natural that you treat me. Is it possible that I can still make my old lady pay for it?"
As soon as these words came out.
Wen Ning was stunned on the spot, his eyes were full of unexpected surprise, and his whole person was stunned on the spot.
He never expected that this kind Granny Red would cheat on the checkout matter.
Shi Dajian responded very quickly. He never went out on credit, so he quickly took out his mobile phone, walked to the shop owner, and said in a sincere tone.
"Don't panic, boss, we'll pay the bill! I'll scan the QR code to pay. How much is the total?"
He held up his mobile phone, as if he was ready to scan the QR code and pay at any time.
However, the innkeeper looked at him strangely, with a bit of helplessness in his eyes.
Granny Red on the side even folded his arms and looked condescendingly at Shi Dajian who was holding up his mobile phone. His eyes looked like he was looking at a fool who didn't understand the world.
The two people had the same helpless and funny expressions, which made Shi Dajian panic.
The boss said it with a bit of ridicule in his tone.
"We are in Demon-Suppressing Pagoda Barrier, isolated from the world, and do not understand the rules of the outside world. Scan the QR code to pay with your mobile phone, it is worthless to us, what is the use of it?"
"Ah?"
Shi Dajian is holding a mobile phone in his hand, looking like a fool
He looked down at the bright mobile phone screen in his hand, then looked up at the inn, and asked with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Then, how should we pay? We are new here, and we don't have anything common here to pay for it."
He and Wen Ning entered the tower. No one thought that they would have to spend money and pay bills in Demon-Suppressing Pagoda. They were not prepared at all.
Seeing that the two of them looked like they had nothing to pay after eating, they put their hands on their waists.
"Oh, I see you are well-dressed. I didn't expect you to come to my shop to eat delicious food. The rules of our shop are simple and there is nothing to pay off the debt. So don't blame me for being rude. Stay and wash the dishes in the shop to pay off the debt."
Shi Dajian panicked when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Wen Ning at a loss, his eyes full of help.
A dignified disciple of Maoshan, I have killed countless demons and exorcised evil spirits. How have I ever encountered a situation where I had no money to pay the bill and had to stay to wash the dishes?
Wen Ning caught a glimpse of his eyes asking for help, and immediately took half a step back, waved his hand, and with a righteous look on his face, spoke first.
"Why are you looking at me? This is your Maoshan business from beginning to end!"
His eyes were magnanimous and he said confidently
"Demon-Suppressing Pagoda belongs to you Maoshan. I am purely a foreign aid who came here to help solve the seal crisis. I can't end up staying here washing dishes to pay off debts, right?"
Shi Dajian choked on the spot, his face wrinkled into a bitter gourd, and he said helplessly
"Then, what should we do now?"
The shop owner stood aside with his hands on his hips, obviously not accommodating at all.
Granny Red on the side folded his arms and watched the fun leisurely. A group of little Fox Demon also formed a circle, blinking their big ignorant eyes and staring at the two of them curiously, their little heads shaking left and right.
Wen Ning looks indifferent, but his tone is cold and ruthless
"What else can we do? The easiest way is to stay and wash the dishes."
"Ah?"
Shi Dajian's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.
"What if?"
Wen Ning looked at him with a bit of ridicule in his tone
"You are a serious Maoshan master, with profound cultivation and respectable status. You cannot be allowed to bear the name of Maoshan's disciple, eat food without paying for it, and be known as a defaulter, right? You chewed the roasted chicken just now better than anyone else, and you didn't miss a bite of the chicken legs and wings."
After saying that, Wen Ning raised his hand and patted Shi Dajian's shoulder gently, looking very considerate and soothing.
His tone was sincere and his words were extremely serious
"Don't worry, I can strengthen the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda seal. I can do it by myself. You can just stay and wash the dishes in peace and pay off your debts without any psychological burden."
Shi Dajian My whole body is numb
He looked at Wen Ning who looked aloof from the incident, and then looked at Granny Red who was sitting aside waiting to watch the show, and felt that he had never been so embarrassed in his life.
He is here to do important things, not to wash dishes!
But in the current situation, he didn't have any reason to refute.
He had indeed eaten the meal, and the account had indeed not been settled. Mortal Realm's money was just like useless paper here. Other than that, the two of them did not have anything on them that could be used to offset the account.
Granny Red looked at it happily, and slowly opened his mouth to make up for it.
"My friend, the boss's rules are the rules of the village. If you don't have anything to pay off your debts, then work to pay off your debts. It's very fair, but you can't cheat on it."
All the little Fox Demon also chirped and nodded, their little tit sounds rising and falling.
"Wash the dishes! Wash the dishes!"
Shi Dajian wanted to cry but had no tears, so he asked bravely
"Well, how many dishes should I wash? How long will it take?"
When the innkeeper heard this, his face softened slightly, he raised his finger in the direction of the kitchen, and said calmly
"With twenty roast chickens today, you will have to wash the dishes for at least four or five days."
Hearing this, Wen Ning couldn't help but smile, and patted Shi Dajian's shoulder again.
"Come on, Maoshan is highly skilled in both civil and military affairs. Small things like washing dishes are definitely not a problem. I will come to pick you up after I finish handling the big things."
After that, he turned around and left with Granny Red, leaving only Shi Dajian who was crying without tears and was forced to work, standing alone in the inn with a table full of chicken bones.
In the wind, only Shi Dajian is left with a dull expression of hopelessness.
