Chapter 444: Do You Remember the Peach Blossom Pastry from Peach Blossom Town?
Although Yun Zhonghe couldn’t remember these people, a warm feeling bubbled up inside him.
Looks like my social skills are pretty impressive!
Soon after, two more people arrived, and guess what? They were both here for Yun Zhonghe.
One of them was Li Yifeng!
During the big competition, his Sea of Consciousness had taken a hit. However, thanks to his magical treasure protecting it, he didn’t suffer from amnesia like Yun Zhonghe. Even so, he was out cold until today.
The first thing he wanted to do upon waking up was to find Yun Zhonghe.
That fight? He absolutely enjoyed it!
Yun Zhonghe was a fierce opponent he had his eyes on, and he wanted to challenge him again next time they had the chance!
The First Prodigy had once again thrown down the gauntlet to Yun Zhonghe—definitely big news for the Xuantian Sect!
The other visitor? Huang Hong.
That guy who had been eliminated by Yun Zhonghe’s crafty maneuvers, the one with a little flair for the dramatic.
“Junior Brother Yun, your skills are truly astonishing!”
“This time during the competition, I didn’t get to see your swordplay. It’s driving me crazy!”
“Junior Brother Yun, next time, let’s have a real sword duel!”
With that suggestive look in his eyes and the way he licked his lips, even if Yun Zhonghe had lost his memory, he couldn’t help but shudder.
So scary! My defenses just tightened up.
Luckily, Tao Jiu’er was there to help chase away Huang Hong.
Finally, Yun Zhonghe’s feeling of danger was lifted.
After Huang Hong left, Yun Zhonghe turned and saw Mei Shixiong, who was radiating negative vibes, and jumped in fright.
“Mei Shixiong, what’s wrong?”
“I… I’m fine…”
His demeanor screamed otherwise.
Just then, the door was knocked again.
More visitors?
Mei Shixiong maintained his cool. With all these people showing up in succession, he suspected they were all here for Junior Brother Yun.
Lu Ren thought the same way.
Yun Zhonghe: “Come in.”
Creeeak—
The door swung open, and a cute little beauty strolled in.
Dressed in a pink dress with a sheer skirt that flowed as she walked, she carried a youthful charm that was both sweet and adorable.
Yun Zhonghe thought she looked really unfamiliar.
She wasn’t like the others who had visited earlier. He couldn’t remember exactly who they were, but he felt they were definitely friends.
This girl, though? Not a clue.
Yun Zhonghe even glanced at Tao Jiu’er for help, but she shook her head, indicating she didn’t know her either.
So who was this cute beauty looking for?
The girl shyly glanced at the four people in the room before making a beeline for Mei Shixiong.
Mei Shixiong, who was casually lying on the bed with his legs crossed, definitely didn’t expect someone would come looking for him.
Yun Zhonghe felt relieved as he looked over at Mei Shixiong.
Finally, someone was here to see him!
Who was this pink skirt girl to Mei Shixiong?
How intriguing!
Not just Yun Zhonghe, even Tao Jiu’er was getting nosy.
A friend? A family member? A future soulmate?
As for Lu Ren, he wore an expression of betrayal.
Wow, I thought we were in this together, and now you’re a traitor too!
FFFFFFFFFF!!
But the next scene wasn’t what any of them had guessed.
The pink skirt girl didn’t sit down to fuss over Mei Shixiong or anything. Instead, they had a rather strange conversation.
The girl shyly approached and asked, “Excuse me, are you Shixiong Yi Zhi Mei?”
Mei Shixiong stayed poker-faced: “What Yi Zhi Mei? You’ve got the wrong person.”
Upon hearing this, the pink skirt girl seemed to have a lightbulb moment, covering her mouth and rushing to say, “I remembered wrong! Shixiong, do you recall the peach blossom pastry we had when we visited Peach Blossom Town?”
Mei Shixiong finally gave her a glance: “I remember.”
His expression was suddenly serious, totally different from when he had been jealous of Yun Zhonghe earlier.
At that moment, the pink skirt girl continued, “I have been craving them lately. Could I ask you to get me another box of the peach blossom pastry?”
Mei Shixiong squinted at her: “No problem! What flavor do you want?”
“Sweet.”
“Sweet? Perfect, I’ve got some right here. Just wait a moment.”
Mei Shixiong pulled out a box-like thing from his storage ring, but since it was a bit far away, Yun Zhonghe couldn’t make out the writing on it.
He watched as Mei Shixiong handed the box to the pink-skirt girl.
Jumping for joy, she exclaimed, “Thank you, Shixiong! I’ll definitely ask for your help next time!”
After exchanging some Spirit Stones, the pink skirt girl pranced out with glee.
Yun Zhonghe, Tao Jiu’er, and Lu Ren silently observed the transaction.
“Mei Shixiong, what just happened?”
Lu Ren had thought that the pink skirt girl was Mei Shixiong’s little girlfriend, ready to burst out with a war cry, only to find out it wasn’t at all what he imagined, so he returned to his normal state.
Looks like we’re still good buddies!
Seeing Lu Ren’s inquisitiveness, Mei Shixiong was relaxed.
“Actually, I’ve started a little grocery business within the sect. I pick up local specialties while out on missions, which is why many junior brothers and sisters come to me for stuff.”
After all, many disciples in the Xuantian Sect didn’t have deep backgrounds. If they relied solely on the meager monthly stipend provided by the sect, it wouldn’t be enough for their cultivation needs.
Thus, a lot of them found ways to make some Spirit Stones on the side.
For instance, Qing Luan helped sell summoning talisman seals—her own way of making some rice.
Mei Shixiong explained: “I sell various snacks and drinks here, as well as magical items and other odds and ends. If you need anything, Junior Brother Yun, you can always come to me. For a celebrity like you, I can give you a discount.”
So that’s how it is!
Yun Zhonghe understood, but had an inkling that something was a bit off.
After thinking carefully, he decided there was nothing strange about it.
So, Yun Zhonghe sincerely marveled, “You’re working hard, Mei Shixiong! Even in a medical facility, you’re selling goods—impressive!”
Lu Ren nodded: “Seriously impressive! No wonder you’re a disciple of the Inner Gate of Xuantian Sect, all of you are extraordinary!”
Mei Shixiong scratched his head: “You two flatter me. I’m not worthy, not worthy! Hahaha!”
After a little while, another knock at the door came.
This time a familiar junior brother made an appearance.
He took a quick glance at the two in the room before heading straight for Mei Shixiong.
Junior Brother: “Shixiong, do you remember the peach blossom pastry we had when we visited Peach Blossom Town?”
Mei Shixiong: “I remember.”
Junior Brother: “Can I ask you to buy me a box?”
Mei Shixiong: “Not a problem! What flavor do you want?”
The junior brother swallowed hard, getting all excited and blushing, stammering, “I want a salty one! The saltier, the better!”
Mei Shixiong: “You’re in luck! I’ve got a super salty one right here.”
Mei Shixiong pulled out another box of something from his storage ring and handed it to the junior brother.
The junior brother looked as if he had found treasure, exchanged the Spirit Stones, and scurried away, looking more and more suspicious as he left.
Yun Zhonghe and company: ¿What just happened?
