Chapter 198

He had already noticed earlier that Xuan Feng's body had been infused with Holy Person's power, and once essence blood was depleted, it would be replenished immediately.

The essence blood catalyzed by Holy Person's power was even superior in quality to what Xuan Feng condensed himself, so the crystal ball never showed a case of non-collection.

Tai Bai Jin Xing: "..."

Moreover, she didn't just pay for three dishes earlier—she paid for that whole big basket. Chen Nuo muttered to himself again.

Nüwa never came to the shop, so the money had always been pending based on Xuan Feng's meal prices.

Upon hearing this, Tai Bai Jin Xing felt like crying but had no tears—his mindset had shattered!

This Holy Person is too overbearing—what can't he do? He can even casually give essence blood!

For some reason, Tai Bai Jin Xing suddenly felt a sour, unpleasant sensation in his heart. If he could serve a Holy Person, how wonderful that would be.

Give him some Holy Person's power—wouldn't his Geng Metal Breath then be usable at will?

But in the next moment, Tai Bai's expression shifted, he shook his head, and quickly dismissed that thought from his mind.

He was just thinking—loyal to the ruler, unchangeable. Although the Heavenly Emperor lacks the power to replenish his Geng Metal Breath, when he returns, he must strive to bring out the treasure burden, preferably letting the Heavenly Emperor casually reward him with something better!

Tai Bai Jin Xing couldn't help but think of pleasant things, his radiant expression making Chen Nuo inexplicably feel a chill, subtly shifting his body away without a trace.

Just then, a voice suddenly came from the doorway.

"Zhi Nv younger sister, is this the place?"

"Yes."

"How beautiful!" Bai Hua Xian Zi was instantly captivated by the extraordinarily unique and elegant building before her.

Blue tiles on white walls, the entire structure exuded a distinctive charm.

Those who cultivate flowers have a stronger yearning for beauty.

Zhi Nv nodded. Indeed, Chen Zhang Gui's uniquely designed building was pleasing to the eye and heartwarming, and it always stirred in her an urge to create new garments to match it.

"But, Bai Hua elder sister, remember this: absolutely do not disrespect Chen Zhang Gui." Zhi Nv advised kindly.

Like Chen Zhang Gui, such a profound and unfathomable great power—once provoked, one can only submit to fate.

"Alright."

Upon hearing this, Bai Hua Xian Zi couldn't help but feel a jolt in her heart—when the Sanniang sought her, she had given the same instruction!

Seeing Zhi Nv enter, Bai Hua's heart tightened; with no time to think, she hurriedly followed.

"Zhi Nv pays respects to Chen Zhang Gui." Entering the door, Zhi Nv instantly saw Chen Nuo standing before the counter and gave a graceful bow.

Chen Nuo raised his brow, a flicker of surprise in his eyes, then nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

He also glanced at Tai Bai Jin Xing beside him; Zhi Nv froze, still not having spoken.

At that moment, Bai Hua entered as well, instantly drawn to Chen Nuo's unparalleled handsome appearance—this person was so young.

Could he be the Xiao Er? Or the shop's accountant?

Bai Hua Xian Zi did not mistake Chen Nuo for the manager of Chaos Residence, even though Yaochi had mentioned him many times, but never described his appearance.

This led Bai Hua Xian Zi to believe that someone who could make the Sanniang so reverent and even write such a couplet outside must be an elder with immortal style and Daoist bones.

Eh?

Bai Hua Xian Zi suddenly noticed Tai Bai Jin Xing beside Chen Nuo—an immortal-style, Daoist-boned elder!

"Chen Zhang..." Bai Hua Xian Zi began, but her words cut off abruptly.

No, why does this elder look increasingly familiar? This robe, this head, this whisk, this beard, this face!

"Tai Bai Jin Xing?! What are you doing here?!" Bai Hua couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Greetings, Bai Hua Xian Zi, greetings, Zhi Nu Xing Guan." Tai Bai Jin Xing chuckled, clasping his hands.

For the arrival of the two ladies, Tai Bai Jin Xing was also quite intrigued.

"Greetings, old immortal." Zhi Nv replied with a smile.

Only Zhao Bai Hua remained confused, taking two steps to Zhi Nv's side and whispering like a mosquito: "Younger sister, where is this Chen Zhang Gui?"

"The one in blue robes—that's him." Zhi Nv transmitted via secret spiritual means.

Bai Hua stared wide-eyed, face full of shock—too young!

But soon she realized: those with profound cultivation can alter their appearance at will—she had been too rigid!

Recalling the Sanniang's advice and Zhi Nv's reminder, Bai Hua shuddered, quickly bowed low: "Bai Hua pays respects to Chen Zhang Gui."

Bai Hua, Bai Hua Xian Zi?

Chen Nuo thought silently, it seems only this one bears that name.

"Rise." Chen Nuo waved his hand, exerting force to lift Bai Hua, who was still pressing down.

"Thank you, Chen Zhang Gui." Bai Hua pressed her lips, slightly restrained.

Chen Nuo observed her from head to toe, then nodded almost imperceptibly.

Indeed, she had a face like flower and moon, worthy of her name.

"What would you like?" Chen Nuo asked softly.

Hearing Chen Nuo's question, Bai Hua trembled, recalling Yaochi's words, and repeated her order as if reporting dish names.

"I want one portion of braised pork, one portion of peach blossom porridge, ten jugs of peach blossom wine, one cup of peach juice, and one cup of freshly squeezed peach juice."

After speaking, Bai Hua recalled Yaochi's reminder.

"Chen Zhang Gui, could you please let me sit first?"

The Sanniang looks urgent—she'd prefer it done sooner.

Before Chen Nuo could respond, Tai Bai Jin Xing objected—he was a towering figure standing here, can't you see him?

Shaking his whisk, Tai Bai Jin Xing stepped forward: "Bai Hua Xian Zi, excuse me, you must still queue behind the old man—he serves the Heavenly Emperor's decree!"

"If the two ladies wish to dine, it's better to queue normally and wait for the old man to finish his purchase and return to report." Tai Bai Jin Xing shook his head and swayed his brain, corners of his mouth lifting, spring wind pride unmatched.

The feeling of overpowering others through momentum—just refreshing!

It turns out His Majesty also knows about this place, does he? Zhi Nv understood clearly in her heart, smiling slightly: "I actually have no objections."

I just don't know about Bai Hua Jie...

As expected.

"His Majesty is His Majesty, after all—I'm the one sent by Sanniang!" Bai Hua Xian Zi showed no hesitation, directly firing back.

When facing Tai Bai Jin Xing, she isn't as cautious as when facing Chen Zhanggui—they're old acquaintances.

If Tai Bai Jin Xing is Yudi Haotian's confidant, then Bai Hua Xian Zi can certainly be considered Wang Mu Yaochi's confidant, and the Seven Fairies all have to step aside.

These subordinates who handle affairs for others—when out in public, they represent the dignity of those above; they cannot afford to lose face!

Sent by Sanniang?!

Tai Bai Jin Xing heard the words, his heart gave a sudden thump—it was actually Sanniang!!!

What kind of Sanniang is this? Tai Bai Jin Xing understood perfectly well; although he is Yudi's direct-line loyal minister, to speak frankly, between Wang Mu and Yudi, he fears Wang Mu somewhat more.

Because if Yudi and Wang Mu were to fall into dispute, Yudi has the side that argues reasonably and strives for an even split—then this would already count as a complete victory.

As for defeat, better not speak of it.

He shook his head, Tai Bai Jin Xing cleared this pessimistic thought, took a deep breath, and his expression turned solemn.

After all, he is also a trusted minister beside His Majesty; His Majesty's dignity—he must uphold it no matter what. He coughed lightly: "His Majesty, after all, is the sovereign of this Heavenly Court."

"Sanniang is also like that." Bai Hua Xian Zi replied without hesitation.

Sanniang Wang Mu's status is equal to His Majesty Yudi's status!

Although she holds His Majesty in the utmost reverence, having been entrusted by Sanniang, she must wholeheartedly attend to Sanniang's affairs; Sanniang said to act quickly, so she must act swiftly!
