"Waiter, your hotpot is so delicious, you didn't add anything illegal, did you?" "Another plate of beef, please!" "Do you offer delivery service?" ....... "Coming, coming." Xiao Qin was bustling around the store like a spinning top. He never imagined that when his junior brother Li said he wanted to open a hotpot restaurant, he was really serious about it. While serving dishes, he asked in his heart: "Master, my junior brother Li didn't put anything illegal in the hotpot, did he? Otherwise, why is it so aromatic?" "My dear disciple, let me discuss something with you." "Go ahead." "Regarding your question, I need to borrow your body to taste it for myself." The Thousand Forms Martial Lord could possess Xiao Qin for a short time, but doing so consumed a lot of spirit energy. Xiao Qin: "....." He thought he should find some time to discuss this with his junior brother Li. The hotpot didn't need to be this good. It had only been open for three days, and it was already full inside. If this continued for a few more days, wouldn't there be a line outside? He deeply suspected that Li's true intention in proposing this plan was to truly open a hotpot restaurant. "Miss, the bill please." At the counter. The lady boss was an ordinary-looking woman, but her eyes were exceptionally attractive. She was busy with the abacus clacking, the jar beside her already filled with broken silver pieces. Ying Bing lowered her eyes, looking at the money she earned, her clear eyes revealing a hint of pleasure. Initially, she thought Li Mo's plan was somewhat absurd. But counting this silver, which held no real meaning for her, gave her an immersive sense of satisfaction. Is this the life of ordinary people? "Ice Block, you've counted the money four times already." Li Mo twiddled with the fake mustache on his lip, speaking helplessly. "I don't like making mistakes." Ying Bing's fingers paused, then continued counting. "......Alright then." As long as Ice Block stays out of the kitchen, she can count as many times as she likes. Retracting his gaze, Li Mo observed the coming and going diners. The Destiny Divine Eye was perpetually active, and he began writing on paper. 【Name: Luo Feiyan】 【Age: 27】 【Attributes: Crane-winged arms, Spirit Cat Feet.】 【Realm: Inner Breath Condensation Realm.】 【Destiny: Green with a hint of black】 【Evaluation: Exceptional lightness kung fu, a renowned female thief, loves to steal others' treasures and quietly returns them. Upon stealing a Swallow Seal, decided to visit Ziyang Prefecture for some fun.】 【Recent encounter: Just stole the secret of the Sand Blade from He Bin, and is now being targeted by him.】 ....... This was what he recorded about the graceful woman having hotpot. Before this, he also recorded: 【Name: Luo Yao】 【Age: 14】 【Attributes: Falling Goose Hands, Purple Star Eyes.】 【Realm: Qi Blood Realm, Twelfth Vein.】 【Destiny: Blue with a hint of black.】 【Evaluation: Disciple of Fen Yulin, outstanding giftedness, youthful spirit, secretly took her family's heirloom, the Junzi Brush, to explore the world.】 【Recent encounter: Being targeted by Night Ghost Liu Heng, who intends to seize her Junzi Brush and offer it to the Soul Judge of Xiyu Tower.】 Li Mo raised his head, looking at not far away. There stood a young......woman, ruddy-lipped and white-toothed, dressed flamboyantly and heroically. I have to say, this girl must have read too many stories. Dressed as a guy, binding her chest and tying her hair up, she thought no one would recognize her as a girl. Outside the hotpot restaurant, in a contest of spirits with others, she broke a few travelers' weapons with a stroke, drawing much attention. She now slapped the table and shouted: "Shopkeeper, bring the wine." "I want the strongest kind, I'm known as the eternal drinker, fallen by none!" You could tell she deliberately lowered her voice to sound rough. "Coming." Watching the girl's reddened face, Li Mo silently diluted the wine with more water. With such a low capacity, still boasting, huh? Don't let a certain Qingyuan Sect's fight king hear you. "Here, this is for you." The girl threw out a small golden fish as payment, while enjoying hotpot and drinking wine. "Sigh." Li Mo gave a slight sigh. In the eyes of the young, is the martial world just wine, sword, and horse, spending fortunes, seeking revenge and justice? He once thought the same. "Shopkeeper, how did you come up with this hotpot recipe?" "Interested in opening a branch at my Fen Yulin? My brother has plenty of money." Luo Yao drunkenly asked. "Customer's elder brother is....." "Fen Yulin's top disciple, Luo Yu!" Well then. No wonder you seem a bit annoying. At the end of the Nine Veins Tournament, Li Mo encountered Luo Yu, who wanted to trade ten treasures, six renowned weapons, and tens of thousands of taels of gold for his Chixiao Sword. Everyone knows. Little Li was well-off, so he politely declined. Can you guess what Luo Yu said? "Very well, you've caught my attention." No wonder they're siblings.... After Luo Yao announced her background, many eyes on her lessened. "Little sister, maybe you fancy the handsome shopkeeper and want to take him home." Came a teasing voice from the side, it was Luo Feiyan. "I want to challenge you!" Luo Yao immediately glared at her, her already flushed face deepening in red. Luo Feiyan ignored her, instead looking at Li Mo. "The shopkeeper must have been quite the pretty man in his youth." "I'm quite interested in your....." Hmm. Li Mo had used the Ethereal Glaze Silk Method to appear older. The clacking of the abacus stopped at the counter, and the lady boss looked up silently at Luo Feiyan. "The hotpot recipe." Luo Feiyan completed her sentence. The abacus's clacking resumed. "Shopkeeper, running even one store is hard work enough!" Xiao Qin placed down a plate of lamb. Seriously, was Li really contemplating branching out? Weren't we supposed to grow the hotpot place big and strong! "Hmm, for now, we don't have plans to open another branch." "Nor will we sell the hotpot recipe." Li Mo smiled and gently refused Luo Yao and Luo Feiyan. "Tsk, your cook's knife skills aren't bad." Luo Feiyan squinted her eyes, picking up a slice of lamb as thin as a cicada's wing. "He's trained for a few years." Li Mo chuckled lightly. Yes, he trained for a few years in the Lifeless Blade Technique. The sliced lamb, not only thin as a cicada's wings, but remarkably fresh, retaining freshness to the utmost degree. Returning to the counter with the small yellow fish. Ice Block pushed it into the money jar and started counting again. As dusk settled. The bustling hotpot restaurant finally closed its doors. "I gathered some intel today." "Two of the stronger ones are the Sand Blade He Bin and the Night Ghost Liu Heng, one at Inner Breath Jade Liquid Realm and the other at Inner Breath Mysterious Core Realm." "There are also some minor players, mostly at Condensation Realm, but not weak, known for being ruthless and having blood on their hands." Li Mo spoke while looking at the record paper in his hand. Xiao Qin and Zuo Qiu Yang exchanged glances. Did so many participants in the untraceable trials come to the shop today? How did they miss noticing?

"Brother Xiao, Brother Zuo Qiu, I'll leave those minor ones to you. Your martial arts are particularly suited to handling them." Xiao Qin's expression was complex. Was this a compliment? But actually, the minor ones Li referred to aren't weak; they're Inner Breath Condensation Realm. He silently donned his night travel attire and put on a bull-headed mask purchased from the market. The two slipped out into the darkness. "Are you going to act heroically, or wait for me at the store?" Li Mo asked, looking back. "Heroically?" Ying Bing seemed puzzled. They were sneaking out in the dark; it didn't seem to relate to the word 'hero.' Li Mo said earnestly: "Who said only those in the light are heroes." "I should tell you the story of Gotham City, where there's also a hero." "Whenever night falls, he dons a mask and goes out to fight evil......" Ten minutes later. Another figure left the hotpot restaurant. Watching Li Mo's silhouette fade into the night. Ying Bing was silent for a few seconds. Just now, the story was so childish. But perhaps because she hadn't experienced anything like that, deep inside, she felt a slight urge to give it a try. This wasn't usual for her. "Someone might use the untraceable trial to target Chuluo." "There's also the extinction of Qingyuan Sect, involving Xiyu Tower." "I haven't figured out the reasons behind these events yet." That's right, just like this. Shh— Outside, a leaf trembled as someone stepped on it, the figure departing into the distance. ⑻ЬΟΟк。сΟm © All content copyrighted by their respective owners or authors.
