Chapter 258

At that moment Barbara came to the counter and, smiling sweetly, handed over two bags of spicy strips.

"Why are there two bags?"

Han Fen was a little curious.

When Barbara had been dividing up the spicy strips earlier, he had watched too.

Everyone got only one bag.

Even her older sister was the same.

When it came to him, it had doubled?

"Because this is a reward given by Boss Han, the other bag is to be treated as a thank-you gift."

Barbara placed her hands in front of her and explained with a smile.

"I see, I thought it was because Barbara had me in her heart, so I got two bags."

Han Feng couldn't help but tease her a little.

"Wh…what do you mean, have you in my heart? B-Boss Han is talking nonsense again…"

Barbara's face instantly flushed red, and she hurriedly scampered back to read comics.

"Boss, Miss Barbara is shy now."

Watching Barbara flee in disarray, Noelle also found it amusing.

Still, her own boss really did have a mischievous streak.

"She's too cute, couldn't help teasing her a bit."

Han Feng said with a smile.

Then he opened the spicy strips and started eating them too.

Mm,

Although it wasn't the familiar taste, it had its own unique flavor.

After Barbara handed out the spicy strips, everyone began tasting them.

For a moment the entire comic shop was filled with the smell of spicy strips.

But they also knew their limits and didn't dare to act recklessly.

So they were all very careful while reading the comics.

Afraid of dirtying the comics and earning the boss's punishment.

At this moment,

A few people arrived in the alley outside the comic shop.

It was precisely Eula and her two companions who had hurried over from the Good Hunter restaurant.

"Do you smell something strange?"

Hearing Yanfei sniffed the air and felt something was off.

"It seems… like a spicy smell?!"

Miss Xiangling, as a chef, was very familiar with this kind of smell.

So she identified it right away.

"Could Boss Han be eating something?"

Eula was a little curious. "Let's go, we'll go in and take a look."

Following Eula, the three of them walked into the comic shop one after another.

The moment they came in, they smelled a spicier scent than outside.

And the people inside, including Boss Han, all seemed to be chewing on something.

It looked really delicious.

Backup group

Seeing customers arrive, Noelle hurriedly set down her spicy strips and stepped forward to greet them.

"Welcome, Miss Eula, and you two young ladies. Would you like to read some comics?

100,000 Mora per person, only one visit per day."

"I brought two friends along."

Eula explained briefly, then asked curiously, "What were you all eating just now? There seems to be a spicy smell."

"It's spicy strips given by Miss Barbara."

Noelle said with a smile.

"Spicy strips?"

Hearing Yanfei and the others were a bit puzzled.

It seemed they had never heard of such a thing.

"Miss Eula, you're here too?"

Seeing Eula walk in with her friends, Barbara also handed each of them one bag.

"Try them, it's a reward just obtained from the comics."

Hearing that it was a reward from the comics, Hearing Yanfei and Miss Xiangling grew curious,

opened the bags and took a taste.

"Mm… so spicy!"

Hearing Yanfei wasn't paying attention for a moment and got hit by the spiciness.

But after adjusting, she found it really addictive.

So she took out another stick and started eating.

Miss Xiangling was also utterly astonished.

"Sss! There's something this delicious?!"

I wonder how they made it—if I could know the ingredients, I'd definitely make it and it'd be wildly popular.

Thinking this, Miss Xiangling ate a couple sticks and put the rest away.

She planned to study them properly once back in Liyue.

Indeed, Mondstadt was worth the trip!

Not only did she eat glowing fried rice,

she also encountered such a delicious spicy stick.

Next, it should be those miraculous comics, right?

Seeing Miss Xiangling and Hearing Yanfei turn their gazes toward him, Han Feng smiled.

"Welcome, Young Lady Hearing Yanfei, and Miss Xiangling."

"Do you know us?"

Hearing Yanfei asked curiously.

Judging by appearance, this black-haired boy must be the Mr. Han that Eula mentioned.

He's so young?

"Mr. Han is remarkable—he recognizes every customer who comes here, so don't be surprised,"

Eula explained from beside them.

She had been here twice.

Each time she came to read comics, she also observed the surroundings.

Then she was stunned to discover,

that Mr. Han recognized every single visitor!

This made Eula find it utterly incredible.

Thinking of the comic shop's magic, Mr. Han grew even more mysterious in Eula's eyes.

"So that's how it is!"

Hearing Yanfei and Miss Xiangling nodded, understanding dawning.

Their gazes toward Mr. Han began to turn reverent.

He is a powerful person.

He deserves proper respect.

But remembering why she had come, Hearing Yanfei spoke again.

"Mr. Han, do you have any comics that are truly miraculous?"
