“Yes.” The shopkeeper answered happily and escorted her out. But, as soon as they reached outside the building, several men were blocking in front of his Mistress, making him pale with fear.
“Oh, where did this little beauty come from? Shopkeeper, is she your relative?” Several men stood in front of Feng Jiu and stared at her lecherously.
In their eyes, the beauty in red had no spirit energy breath, obviously not a cultivator. She should have just been a wealthy family’s daughter!
They were all cultivators. Naturally, they wouldn’t take a wealthy family’s daughter seriously. Otherwise, they wouldn’t dare to block her path in the open.
The shopkeeper glanced at Feng Jiu carefully and saw that she looked as usual. Only then did he say, “Guests, if you’d like to drink tea, please go upstairs. We don’t tolerate troublemakers here.” These people really acted recklessly, even had the guts to block his Mistress. They really got bored of living!
“What tea? Go away!” One of the men pushed the shopkeeper, but the opponent kept standing steadily and his body didn’t even sway a bit.
“Since you aren’t here to drink tea, please leave!” The shopkeeper said calmly. At the same time, his Nascent Soul’s pressure spread through.
He ran a teahouse here. People shouldn’t think of him as an ordinary shopkeeper. He managed to become a member of the Heavenly Dynasty Palace and be a Feng Guard recognized by his Mistress. How could he be qualified for the shopkeeper job without having strength?
Since no one caused trouble in the past, naturally, he hid his strength and acted as an unremarkable shopkeeper. But, these people were unable to distinguish good from bad! It’s really irritating that they dared to target his Mistress!
Those men turned pale as the Nascent Soul’s pressure spread. They were just Golden Core cultivators, how could they bear the pressure of Nascent Soul? Immediately, sweat oozed from their foreheads. They turned pale and looked at the shopkeeper with horror in their eyes. Their feet trembled. “We, we have eyes but fail to recognize Mount Tai. We have offended you a lot. We, we will go right away.”
In a panic, they turned to leave. But as they turned around, they heard the voice of the woman in red.
“You are going to leave like this?”
Feng Jiu raised her eyebrows gently and glanced at them with disdain. She took a few steps forward until she was in front of those men who stood stiffly. “Settle the bill.”
These two men were shocked. “We, we have paid the bills upstairs!”
“I’m talking about settling the bills both upstairs and downstairs.” Her lips curled slightly and her bright eyes stared at them coldly. “Do you perhaps think that you can get away after offending me?”
“Go, calculate the bills, both upstairs and downstairs, and charge the whole amount to these people.” Then she glanced at the shopkeeper. “Double the amount.”
The shopkeeper replied at once. “Yes.” He quickly went to the counter and told the waiter, then picked up the abacus and calculated rapidly.
Seeing this, the men glanced at both the building downstairs and upstairs, then thought to themselves, Even if anyone could afford to drink tea here, there were so many people upstairs and downstairs, it could cost hundreds of gold coins, right? If the amount is doubled, wouldn’t it, wouldn’t it…
Thinking that they had to take out thousands of gold coins, their faces changed. They saw that the shopkeeper went to the counter, so they winked and ran outside quickly.
What a joke! Even though they were loose cultivators, an amount close to thousand gold coins was a huge sum for them!
