Chapter 93 - A Frenzied Crowd (1/2)
”Are you okay, Brother Yuan? Are you feeling any pain?” Xiao Hua asked him after Feng Yuxiang entered his body.
Yuan patted his body and nodded a moment later, ”Yes, everything's fine. I am not hurt, nor does it feel unpleasant.”
He then turned to look at Yu Rou and handed her all three Spirit Fruits and said, ”Here's the Spirit Fruits. You'll need them to tame the beasts.”
However, Yu Rou only accepted two of them and said, ”You can keep the last one, brother. I just need an extra one for insurance.”
Although Yuan didn't really need the Spirit Fruit, he nodded regardless. If Yu Rou ever needed another one, he can offer it to her again at that time.
After putting away the Spirit Fruit, Yuan said, ”Then let's find you a Servant now.”
However, Yu Rou shook her head and said, ”No, it's fine, brother. There are only a few hours left before I have to prepare for school again. I'd rather spend this time just enjoying the game casually with you.”
”Hmm…” Yuan immediately began to ponder.
A moment later, he spoke with a bright expression on his face, ”I know! Why don't we go eat in some restaurant? I bet you still haven't experienced the amazing food in this world!”
”Food, huh? I heard you can taste the food as though it was real,” Yu Rou nodded with interest.
”That's right. And they are incredibly tasty,” Yuan said in an excited voice.
”Okay, let's go.” Yu Rou agreed a moment later.
They left the room shortly later and began walking downstairs. When they reached the fifth floor, they realized that all of the display cases were empty and the treasures had been taken out. However, that was expected, as Feng Yuxiang had closed this store down.
Once they reached the first floor, Yuan spoke out loud, ”Feng Feng, what should we do about this place?”
A moment later, Feng Yuxiang's voice resounded in his mind, almost like she was living inside his head, ”You can just leave it as it is, Young Master. The next manager will take care of everything.”
”I understand,” Yuan nodded.
”Is she talking to you from inside? How come I can't hear her voice?” Yu Rou asked him with a fascinated gaze.
”I am talking to the Young Master through Divine Sense,” Feng Yuxiang's voice suddenly resounded in Yu Rou's head.
”Wow! How amazing! Talking to people directly in their minds… that's just like telepathy!” Yu Rou exclaimed.
A few moments later, they stepped outside the store. However, to Yuan's surprise, an entire crowd had gathered outside the store, feeling almost like there was a protest of some sort going on.
”W-What is going on here? Why are there so many people here?” Yuan was startled by the gathering that surrounded the entire front store, blocking his view.
Furthermore, all of these people had powerful auras or luxurious clothes around their bodies, indicating that they were all experts or from wealthy families.
”Who are you? Where is Madam Feng?”
The people outside immediately asked them after seeing them leave the store.
”Uhhh…”
Just as Yuan pondered how he should respond, Feng Yuxiang's voice resounded in his head, ”Young Master, just tell them that I am currently sleeping in my room and that I do not wish to be disturbed for the time being if they want me to reconsider my decision.”
Yuan then repeated her words to the people outside despite not knowing the context, ”Um… Madam Feng is currently sleeping in her room, but she doesn't want to be bothered by anyone, or else she will not reconsider her decision.”
The place instantly turned silent when they listened to Yuan's words.
”Let's calm down for now and let Madam Feng rest. I'm afraid that if we continue to linger outside her store, she'll really leave the city…” One of them suddenly said.
”Yes, you're right. The city will take a huge hit if Madam Feng or her store suddenly disappears. We cannot take this matter lightly.”
”Well, what do you suggest we do then? We cannot just let her leave like this!”
”No idea, but do you think Madam Feng's sudden decision was due to that powerful spiritual energy not long ago? She announced her leave shortly afterward, after all. I would not be surprised if she'd been forced to leave this city!”
”What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Madam Feng is the strongest individual in this city who has been around for over 1,000 years! Who could possibly threaten her, much less force her to leave?”
