The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 850 - 848: The Missing Firewood

The Spiritual Longevity Peach Buns aren’t tasty?

Yang Su’s expression was gloomy.

"That’s indeed the case. Today’s Spiritual Longevity Peach Buns taste somewhat off, though I can’t pinpoint exactly what’s wrong."

The owner of Taoyao Pavilion muttered beside him.

Yang Su said no more and turned to walk into the inner chamber.

Inside the chamber, steam filled the air.

Several steamers were still steaming buns there.

"Impossible, how could my Spiritual Longevity Peach Buns have problems."

Yang Su grabbed one, took a casual bite, and his face changed dramatically; how could it taste so awful.

Was it due to that sugar lotus root from earlier?

A shock passed through Yang Su’s eyes, suddenly realizing that the sugar lotus root from Chu’s Restaurant was probably not so simple.

Antidote... could it be that inconspicuous sugar lotus root has antidote properties?

But why would a sugar lotus root have antidote properties, could it be that little girl discovered the secret of my Spiritual Longevity Peach Buns?

Yang Su’s heart trembled.

Impossible, for so long, no one has ever uncovered the secret of his Spiritual Food.

How could that little girl possibly see through it!

Yang Su was somewhat unsettled as he approached the pile of firewood.

His eyes suddenly deepened, incredibly he grabbed the firewood.

These firewoods?

"Someone, who entered the inner chamber!"

Yang Su asked furiously and sternly.

"Master Yang, no one has been in the inner chamber."

Wang Lei and the other workers all looked puzzled.

Master Yang was very strict in guarding the inner chamber, aside from himself, no one had ever entered it.

"My firewood has been swapped, all of it replaced, yet you tell me no one went in? Hundreds of pounds of firewood, no one entered, are you saying it was moved by ghosts!"

Yang Su finally realized why the taste of his Spiritual Longevity Peach Buns was off.

Someone replaced all his firewood!

Yang Su was furious, questioning everyone inside and outside the kitchen, but not a single person figured out who swapped the firewood.

Left with no choice, he urgently contacted Prince Tu.

Earlier, the opium poppies were provided by Prince Tu.

Yet, even Prince Tu had no way to transport enough new firewood soaked in opium water immediately; only about ten pounds could be delivered, which made it impossible for Yang Su to make new Spiritual Longevity Peach Buns.

The next day, nearly a thousand servings of "Heavenly Lotus" from Chu’s Restaurant were sold, the number of regular customers reaching straight to over six hundred.

By evening, the sugar lotus root was sold out.

Xin Lin’s heaven-defying value also broke a record, surpassing 1000 points.

"Finally able to concoct the antidote for Three Corpse Poison."

Xin Lin couldn’t help but feel joyous.

Looking at the skyrocketing heaven-defying value, Xin Lin decided to prepare the antidote that night in Chu’s Restaurant.

These days, due to matters at Chu’s Restaurant, she had been staying there overnight.

She sent Chu Beiqing back to the School Clinic with the Overlord Egg, suspecting the Hornet Monster had likely produced new honey in two days.

After nightfall, Ma Jingtian and others also returned to Chu Mansion, and when it was quiet late at night, Xin Lin prepared the herbal ingredients, readying herself to begin concocting the antidote.

"Someone’s outside."

At this moment, Gui Hu’s voice was heard.

Xin Lin was startled and listened intently, indeed hearing faint footsteps on the quiet street.

The street where Chu’s Restaurant was located was very secluded; at night, even the night watchman seldom passed by, let alone any living person.

After pondering for a moment, Xin Lin quickly extinguished the oil lamp and used a Ghost Escape technique to leave Chu’s Restaurant.
