Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 144

The waiter’s eyes flickered with a trace of oddity for a moment, but he quickly put on a very official smile: "Ah, well, you can see the owner. I wonder what business you have?"

The small shop owner slammed the table, startling the diners: "Are you crazy?"

"Cough cough, sorry, sorry."

The small shop owner switched to slapping his thigh, looking like he’s considering others: "Isn’t it all because of that person outside?"

"That person outside... what’s wrong?" the waiter asked cautiously.

"You don’t know yet? Your, what’s it called, hotpot, she is selling it outside too! She’s selling some hotpot noodles!" The small shop owner glanced at the surrounding diners’ meals, thoughtful, and secretly noted it down.

It’s a novel idea, but customers have to cook it themselves, just provide a pot with soup, and they’re eating happily like this?

This business is too easy to do!

The small shop owner secretly made some plans in his mind, but continued to speak: "Look, isn’t that completely taking advantage of your tavern? Moreover, she even opened it at your tavern’s entrance, how audacious!"

"I see, she’s just relying on her identity as a cultivator, plus Qian Ding Sect is just over the mountain, knowing you’re newly opened and definitely wouldn’t want trouble, she’s being so arrogant! You should give her a proper warning and make her go back to Qian Ding Sect!"

The waiter’s expression grew more rigid as he listened.

The small shop owner was a bit confused: "What, am I wrong? I see you’ve got this tavern set up impressively, even with Ice Spirit Stone, it’s really cool! To deal with just a Qian Ding Sect, it should be more than enough, right? That Qian Ding Sect isn’t much, don’t let them scare you."

The waiter thought, I’m the one scared to death by you! Yes, Qian Ding Sect was miserable before, but people can’t just stand still, you have to look around at everything!

They say part ways for three days, and you should look at people with new eyes. The Qian Ding Sect nowadays is not what it used to be!

The waiter hadn’t had the chance to speak when another waiter passed by from the kitchen carrying a pot of hotpot base.

"Is this what you make the soup with?" The small shop owner’s eyes spun around, "Taking it out for?"

The waiter walked briskly: "Outside, the hotpot noodle place is running out, gotta get more for them."

The small shop owner choked: "Uh, so Chen Muxue... Miss Chen, is she with you guys?"

With you guys? Why does that sound so strange?

The waiter coughed lightly: "You’ve wanted to see the owner, right? I’ll take you there now."

The small shop owner followed the waiter in a daze, unexpectedly coming to the entrance again.

Seeing the waiter stop, the small shop owner was still confused about the situation: "Didn’t you say I would see the owner?"

The waiter indicated: "This is our owner."

The small shop owner was stunned, his neck turned stiffly toward Chen Muxue: "You mean... Miss Chen... uh, Sect Leader, she’s your tavern’s owner?"

"Yes! This hotpot was invented by the owner herself. You’re welcome to try it inside, the taste is guaranteed to be good!" The waiter highly recommended.

The small shop owner’s face turned blue and red in turns, hoping Chen Muxue hadn’t overheard how he spoke earlier?

Seeing Chen Muxue looking over, the small shop owner quickly pointed around: "I’m not the only one wanting to say this, I don’t have such nerve, it’s all them—"

However, looking up, he found that the other small restaurant owners who were gathered here had already disappeared without a trace.

Chen Muxue shook her head with a smile, thinking he’s such a troublesome guy, but she wouldn’t bother with someone like this.

Seeing Chen Muxue so carefree and indifferent, not taking him seriously at all, the small shop owner felt aside from guilt and fear, strangely a trace of anger and defiance.
