The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 421 - 418: The Overlord Egg That Was Sold Off

Leaving aside the prestige of the Spiritual Food Restaurant at De Yue Building for a moment, these large meat buns were advertised as being kneaded with mountain spring water, containing some medicinal herbs, and made with select upper-class pork and mountain spring cabbage, with health nourishing benefits.

Of course, Xin Lin, who had read through the Mystical Medicine Book, couldn’t taste any of those so-called therapeutic effects at all.

As for the so-called three-star Spirit Chefs, judging from the odd jobs Xin Lin had been doing at Taoyao Pavilion these days, she could assert that no Spirit Chef above two stars would be willing to make something as mundane as buns.

Therefore, these so-called buns from De Yue Building were nothing but false advertising.

At the price of two silver taels for one meat bun, it was absolutely exorbitant for the average commoner.

In modern terms, that’s equivalent to several hundred yuan for a single meat bun.

Yet compared to the extravagant prices of Spiritual Food, which could cost several hundred, a thousand, or even tens of thousands of silver, a bun priced at two silver taels seems quite negligible.

After all, there were still plenty of wealthy people in Purple Cloud City.

Regardless, by the time Xin Lin and Silly Chu arrived at De Yue Building, a thousand buns had already been sold out.

"Damn, we’re too late."

Xin Lin sighed.

Silly Chu, standing beside her, had a worried and discontented look on his face, the picture of "desire unfulfilled."

"Daddy, rest assured, when I go home, I’ll try making some big cabbage and pork buns for you too," Xin Lin consoled.

Despite not getting the buns, Xin Lin had more or less figured things out.

Like Taoyao Pavilion, De Yue Building also opened at noon and sold bona fide Spiritual Food.

The buns were only sold in the morning and did not interfere with the operations of the Spiritual Food Restaurant.

This meant that Chu’s Restaurant could follow their lead.

The only difficulty was that Xin Lin was a "kitchen assassin"; she didn’t know how to make buns, and she couldn’t use the Dan Wood Furnace to do so; after thinking it over, she would have to seek the guidance of Master Ji tonight.

Upon hearing this, Silly Chu’s eyes lit up, and he turned back home, leading his daughter by the hand.

Having only taken a few steps, Xin Lin suddenly felt a very peculiar sensation.

Thump thump thump, her eyelids twitched.

A very familiar sensation—it was the aura of the Overlord Egg.

As a Summoning Master, she was familiar with the aura of her own summonings.

Xin Lin was certain that the Overlord Egg was nearby.

But wasn’t that fella still in the midst of cultivation on Qin Mountain?

Xin Lin turned around and saw several robust men looking like hunters, struggling to carry a large sack towards De Yue Building.

The sack was tightly concealed, making it impossible to see exactly what was inside.

But its round bulging shape, it really did look somewhat like an Overlord Egg.

Xin Lin felt a chill in her scalp and made a beeline back.

"Shopkeeper, we’ve just found a rare ostrich egg in Qin Mountain. Didn’t Master Chen say he wanted to purchase a precious bird egg to prepare for the Spiritual Banquet?"

Those men were Xuanwu Practitioners from Qin Mountain; after discovering the Overlord Egg that had knocked itself out, they were blinded by greed and stuffed it into a large sack and brought it to De Yue Building.

Half a month ago, Master Chen of De Yue Building had already spread the word.

In a short while, De Yue Building would be hosting a Spiritual Banquet, to entertain figures from a major power.

What was the origin of that power, it remained a mystery, but it was said that their status and influence were only higher, not lower, than that of the Longteng Imperial Family.

The Spiritual Banquet last night at Taoyao Pavilion had definitely made a name for itself, seriously impacting De Yue Building’s position in Purple Cloud City.

Master Chen was extremely irritated, so he was bent on using this upcoming banquet to win back De Yue Building’s reputation.

~You’re all too heartless towards the Overlord Egg! Not willing to vote and redeem it, it has fainted from crying, and has decided to visit you in your dreams tonight to eat all your snacks~
