Chapter 862: Someone Ren Baqian Can’t Afford to Provoke

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In Wuji City, Ren Baqian and the empress spent a few days going out and taking a look at what this developing city looked like.

It had to be mentioned that this city was different from all the other cities in the nation.

For example, flying single-seater motorcycles were hardly seen in other cities.

After all, air traffic control wasn’t something trivial.

Over here, however, personnel from the military patrolled the sky daily on these flying motorcycles.

One could be seen every three to five minutes.

Since there were many masters in Wuji City, the surveillance had to be tighter.

Furthermore, the nation was using this city as an experimental site.

With every single citizen practicing cultivation here, there was no precedent since ancient times and the nation needed to let it evolve gradually.

The flying motorbikes were a small issue. What really astonished him was that many people here sat on the roof of a public transportation vehicle instead of sitting inside like in other places.

People were frequently seen chasing after public vehicles that had passed by and then jumping onto the roof for a free ride.

After seeing a bus with seven or eight people on top, Ren Baqian momentarily wondered whether he was in a developing country.historical

Other than that, there were signs everywhere that Wuji City was different from other places.

For example, where else could you see a 36-way five-element saber skill being used to cut noodles?

Had anyone seen people use their fingers to take dumplings out of a frying pan?

What about people threading two skewers with mutton while performing swordplay?

His experiences here these past few days were really eye-opening.

Over here, everyone was involved in practicing martial arts.

Even the ordinary people that were selected to come here were high caliber and talented.

Plus, the bosses of the small roadside stalls were likely to be Man Wheel experts!

In other places, when the usual customers and stall owners met, the conversation would be:

“The weather’s very good today! How’s business?”

“It’s passable—just making a living. What can I do for you?”

“Give me a bowl of knife-cut noodles and don’t add spring onion!”

Over here, the conversation was:

“Hi Boss, your five-elements ringed saber skills are very good! Who’s your teacher?”

“Oh, I don’t want to disgrace my teacher by mentioning his name since my skills aren’t up to standard. What do you want to order today?”

“Come on, let’s do some sparring first.”

“If you lose and leave, I will take a loss.”

“If I lose, I will use all my money to order ten bowls of premium knife-cut seafood noodles. If I win, you will treat me to ten bowls!”

“It’s a deal!”

The approach was totally different!

However, Ren Baqian found this very interesting.

He went forward with the empress and asked, “Boss, can I spar with you? If I win, you will treat both of us to premium knife-cut seafood noodles until we are full.”

The owner looked at him and said, “Hey, you are an Earth Wheel expert. Don’t you feel bad bullying an old man?”

Ren Baqian was surprised that this old man was rather observant.

He laughed and declared, “Give me two bowls of knife-cut seafood noodles!”

“8,800 a bowl, 17,600 for two people. My small business doesn’t give credit!” the owner said cheerfully.

Ren Baqian’s face turned black as he replied, “You know my level, yet you still dare to overcharge me—the previous one is still buried.”

“How can that be! What a joke! It’s sold at 8,800 yuan per bowl, but I will give the two of you a 50% discount!” The old man placed a menu in front of Ren Baqian, and it showed that a bowl of premium knife-cut seafood noodles was 8,800 yuan.

Ren Baqian thought that he was being overcharged, but it was the listed price, so he had nothing to say.

To him, money was just a number, and he wanted to find out what noodles that cost 8,800 yuan tasted like.

When the bowls of noodles were served, there was only one oyster inside and no other toppings.

The smell was fragrant and fresh, and Ren Baqian could smell the flavor of the sea..

This smell gave him some confidence.

When the first mouthful of noodles entered his mouth, there was a burst of flavors: freshness, fragrance, tenderness, and smoothness..

Ren Baqian’s eyes widened. He had unexpectedly met a master chef! It wasn’t that he had never eaten good food. In the other world, although the food was casually cooked, the ingredients were delicious. Adding some spices made them taste like gourmet food on Earth.

However, this person was different. He was an absolute master who used ingredients on Earth to make food that was far better than food in the other world.

On the other side of the table, the empress was pouring the noodles directly into her mouth.

“Boss, give me another 50 bowls!”

After gobbling down 50 bowls of noodles, the empress felt her stomach and hesitated. She reckoned she could eat another 100 bowls, but it was fast to eat and slow to cook. If they were to carry on eating, they would have to stay here for the whole day.

“Thank you for your patronage, 456,000 yuan!” The old man smiled as he presented the bill.

“Boss, I lack a cook at my place. Are you interested?” Ren Baqian grinned as he paid the bill. He had the idea of abducting this old guy, but he still had to pay the bill.

“Is your surname Ren?” the old man asked with a wide smile.

“You are well informed.”

“This circle is so small that if I didn’t know anything, I wouldn’t be able to live until now. To be your cook isn’t an impossibility! Name me a price!”

“You can read all the Man Wheel manuals and some of the Earth Wheel manuals. Although you are unlikely to reach the Earth Wheel level due to your age, it isn’t impossible. The disciples in our martial arts centers have to obtain points in order to read these manuals. You won’t lose out if you become my cook, but you mustn’t leak information.”

The old man smiled brightly and replied, “It’s a bargain! However, I have to disappoint you as I’m too old and no longer ambitious. However, I can recommend another person whose cooking skills are no worse than mine! If you think this is acceptable, I will ask him to look for you.”

Ren Baqian concealed his smile. This old man was smart.

He was trying to care for his children!

“One cook isn’t enough for me. If you have some people who are up to speed, you can ask them to look for me. If you are willing to join, you can come along!”

“In that case, you are my boss now!”

“How do I address you?”

“Surname Sun, Sun Zhongliang.”

Ren Baqian left in a happy mood. He didn’t expect to gain a cook at almost no cost by giving him access to the martial arts manuals.

To others, this was a great benefit.

To him, it was just some moldy manuals that were confiscated from Tianjing Basin, and there was also one set from the Yun Nation.

Sun Zhongliang came the next day and also brought along his son and grandchild, which was almost his whole family.

Ren Baqian decided that Sun Zhongliang might as well bring his whole family and live in the skyscraper.

This way, Ren Baqian and the empress could eat at home anytime.

The building had more than 30 floors, with the bottom two floors reserved for guests. Therefore, there was more than enough space.

Two days later, while the empress was watching television, she suddenly thought of something. She leaped downstairs to catch Ning Caichen and brought her into a room to check her thoroughly..

“Your Majesty, what are you doing?” Ren Baqian looked quizzically in the direction of the room.

He didn’t know what the empress was doing.

“Get out. If you dare to peep, I will dig out your eyeballs.”

Soon, the empress came out of the room with a content look.

After seeing his strange expression, she explained, “I just wanted to see the difference between a woman who changed sex and one who is born that way.”

“What’s the difference?” Ren Baqian was curious after hearing this.

“Do you want to know?’

“I’m a little curious!

“Do you want to see?”

Noticing her threatening look, Ren Baqian wisely chose to ignore his curiosity and replied, “There’s no point in thinking about it. Forget it! I don’t want to see.”

The empress was forever the empress. Even as his wife, she was still the empress, and he couldn’t afford to provoke her!

After staying for seven days, Ren Baqian and the empress went back to Dayao. They were surprised to find workers at the plain that they had visited a few days ago.

Even Tong Zhengye was there.

One hand was on his waist and one hand was holding a tube of toothpaste which he occasionally licked while fishing with his d*ck..

There was a strange fish that looked like a snake with fangs on his d*ck.. When he saw them, he put the fish down, tidied his pants, and greeted them clearly.

Ren Baqian was startled!

This old fox was a genius!

No wonder he was an elder Cardinal Heaven expert. Ren Baqian couldn’t afford to provoke this old fox.
