Chapter 123: Ning Caichen: Take the Things You Want (Fifth Update)

Inside the delicacy shop

Early in the morning, Su Mu opened the shop door as soon as he could.

Having gone out yesterday and obtained a new dish, Su Mu could not wait for Yue Buqun and the others to taste it.

Just a short while after Su Mu had opened the door on his end.

"Haha, I am the first!"

Outside the shop door, Wang Datong's figure appeared; seeing no one before him, he immediately grew excited.

It seemed his speed after many years of being single was quite good.

Without much hesitation, he headed straight for the delicacy shop.

And right after Wang Datong appeared, in an instant, Zhang Sanfeng, Ying Zheng, Zhu Qizhen, and others arrived one after another.

"Whoa, someone is even faster than me!"

Seeing Wang Datong, Zhang Sanfeng, Ying Zheng, and others before him, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but murmur softly and hurriedly followed inside.

In an instant, as the delicacy shop opened, everyone arrived one after another.

"Shopkeeper, sorry to disturb you again; please bring one of every dish."

Wang Datong, the first to enter the shop, hurriedly said this, then found a seat and sat down.

And Zhang Sanfeng, Song Yuanqiao, and Zhang Cuishan, the trio following Wang Datong, did the same, ordering three full sets.

Ying Zheng, Fusu, Zhu Qizhen, and others who followed closely behind did likewise.

In an instant, everyone seemed to appear quite hurried.

After ordering, they directly found seats and sat down.

As time passed bit by bit, everyone continued to arrive.

When it was Yue Buqun's turn to arrive, the vast delicacy shop was once again completely filled.

"Your speed!"

Seeing that every seat was occupied.

Yue Buqun, bringing Ning Zhize along, had no choice but to share a table with Wang Datong.

And only until this moment did everyone have the mind to discuss serious matters.

"Ning Caichen, did you bring the thing we want?"

Zhu Qizhen, the Great Ming War God, was the first to ask Ning Caichen.

You see, regarding that female ghost, he was quite expectant.

He also wanted to experience what it means to have one's soul snatched away.

"Alright, alright, this one is yours!"

Saying this, Ning Caichen directly opened the bamboo basket he was carrying on his back.

From among the many scrolls, he took out one painting and handed it directly to Zhu Qizhen.

"Here, remember, open it only after you return!"

Glancing around, this was a land of immortals; if the immortals knew what they were doing, it would truly be bad!

"Rest assured, I understand!"

And Zhu Qizhen gave him a look that said, "I get it."

It was just that he feared Zhu Qizhen couldn't hold back; rest assured, Zhu Qizhen was not that kind of person.

Taking the painting, Zhu Qizhen directly put it away.

And as Zhu Qizhen began to claim his goods, everyone stopped pretending to be reserved.

"Where is my portion?"

"And what about my two paintings?"

"Which one is mine?"

"………"

In an instant, in the vast delicacy shop, everyone spoke out one after another.

And Ning Caichen handed scroll after scroll to everyone.

Because of the delicacy shop's rules, he could only deliver the goods by sealing the female ghosts into the paintings.

Just as everyone here was excitedly claiming their goods.

Su Mu, watching everyone's behavior, couldn't help but feel secretly curious.

What was wrong with this group?

In how long's effort, did they all suddenly turn into young men who loved literature!

However, when Su Mu casually glanced at the content within the paintings, Su Mu was slightly stunned.

Ahem, good heavens, so these are the kind of scrolls!

No wonder you are all so excited like this.

Turns out you are all quick-draw artists, fast shooters!

Su Mu has shown disrespect!

Fine, he would go to the back kitchen to make food.

And right after Su Mu left, everyone who received the scrolls treated them as if they had obtained a great treasure.

"Little Fatty, what is this thing?"

Just then, an untimely questioning voice rang out!

In an instant, everyone inside the delicacy shop turned their gazes toward that direction.

Clearly, before Zhou Weiqing, Shangguan Bing was asking with a look of curiosity.

For a moment, faced with everyone's gazes, Zhou Weiqing suddenly felt a chill.

I can't say it—now, if I say it, I'm definitely dead.

"Cough, Bing'er, this is the gift I prepared for my teacher!"

He cleared his throat; luckily, Zhou Weiqing reacted quickly and immediately used his teacher as a shield to deflect the suspicion.

"Oh, is that so?"

The innocent Shangguan Bing'er didn't think much and nodded softly.

Just as everyone felt a sigh of relief, Hearing Hearing Xiao Wu on the other side spoke up.

"Brother, let me take a look at this!"

For some reason, Hearing Hearing Xiao Wu instinctively distrusted Zhou Weiqing's words.

She now moved to take the scroll from Tang San's hands and examine it closely.

For a moment, everyone in the food shop grew tense again.

How could such a thing be opened and looked at?

If Hearing Hearing Xiao Wu saw it, wouldn't we all be finished?

Especially Yue Buqun, seeing Ning Zhongze's expression, shuddered involuntarily.

If this got out, his reputation as Yue Buqun would be utterly ruined.

Meanwhile, Stark's expression was also very grim.

At this moment, he regretted it.

He shouldn't have given the spot to Pepper.

Now, he couldn't even indulge himself a little.

Still, it wasn't without a chance.

If Tang San could withstand the pressure right now, everyone would be safe.

Yet, facing Hearing Hearing Xiao Wu's request, Tang San readily agreed.

"Hmm, sure, if you want to see it, Hearing Hearing Xiao Wu, go ahead!"

Saying this, Tang San handed over the scroll.

For a moment, the food shop fell utterly silent.

Stark, Zhou Weiqing, and Yue Buqing all turned their gazes toward him.

Fuck, how could you give her the painting?

Isn't this asking for death?

Brother, you're a true martyr!

At this moment, everyone's gaze toward Tang San changed.

True courage means facing a bleak life head-on.

Clearly, Tang San had done it.

Indeed, as the scroll was opened, anger immediately surfaced on Hearing Hearing Xiao Wu's face.

"Brother, this painting—you actually!"

Seeing the voluptuous, exposed ghost woman in the painting, Hearing Hearing Xiao Wu pointed at Tang San in shock.

She had worried about him all this time.

Yet, in an instant, he bought this kind of thing.

She had truly misplaced her trust!

Seeing Hearing Hearing Xiao Wu like this, Tang San panicked and quickly explained.

"Hearing Hearing Xiao Wu, it's not what you think—I bought this purely to prove to Dugu Bo."

He then explained the situation with Dugu Bo.

When she heard that Tang San had done this to convince Dugu Bo of Davaan's authenticity, Hearing Hearing Xiao Wu furrowed her brows and looked toward Yue Buqun, Stark, and the others.

"What about them?"

Suddenly, Yue Buqun, Stark, and the others, who had been watching the drama, froze.

Fuck, what does this have to do with us?

But the next moment, Tang San's words plunged them into despair.

"I'm different from them, Hearing Hearing Xiao Wu—believe me!"

These simple words left Stark and the others utterly bewildered.

Dude, are you a dog?

You explain, sure—but why say it like that? You're setting us up!

No one does this.

Pick up your chopsticks to eat, then kick the table and curse after you're done!
