Volume 4: The Sleepless Snake Chapter 23: That damn desire to win!
Breakfast was eaten in the main hall. The side rooms on the left and right were for Miss Wang and Huang Dangdang respectively.
On the dining table were dozens of items including fried pancakes, gabacai, old tofu, water-filled buns, noodle tea, mutton soup, fried cakes, rolls, fried fruits, fried dumplings, pancakes, wontons, boneless meat, tea, sugar cakes, beef biscuits, pasties, chops, fried cakes, egg biscuits, etc., as well as various side dishes.
Li Changhai stared at Gabacai blankly.
As a native of the black soil area, Li Changhai has never eaten Gabacai.
He imitated Lao Wang and added sesame paste, fermented bean curd juice, chili oil, and spicy paste, and sprinkled with braised dried tofu slices and chopped coriander. With one bite of the dish, it had a rich vegetarian aroma, especially the rice crust, which was very chewy.
"Uncle Wang, this is delicious."
As Li Changhai spoke, he picked up a steamed bun with water filling.
He is familiar with this bun.
I eat it often when I’m at home.
It's filled with soup, pork and green onions, and is very fragrant.
Especially the steamed buns stewed in an iron pot, the bun skin is steamed thoroughly, and it is so fragrant when you take a bite.
"Would you like some mutton soup?"
Old Wang asked the silly boy.
Li Changhai nodded repeatedly with his mouth full of buns.
Even though he has eaten a lot, Li Changhai can still eat more.
As the saying goes, the brat brings the father down.
If Old Li had not become rich, he might not have been able to support the two brothers Li Changhai and Li Fugui.
Lao Wang immediately signaled for another bowl of mutton soup.
Goethe drank the old tofu soup with chives and chili oil poured on the vegetarian stew. He spread it out with a spoon, spread it evenly, and ate it one spoonful at a time. The sugar cake in his hand was sandwiched with some green bean sprouts and fennel shreds.
Mung bean sprouts are dipped in vinegar, and fennel shreds are dipped in chili oil.
Rolled up in a sugar cake full of sugar, it tastes crispy, sour, sweet and spicy in one bite, just right .
The eldest daughter of the Wang family loved fried dough sticks and chops, and she ate them with a bowl of wontons with great relish.
Huang Dangdang ate beef patties and boneless meat, and added coriander to them.
Old Wang and Shopkeeper Wang were holding two bowls of tea. Although it was not brewed on the spot using a large copper kettle with a dragon's mouth, the taste was still sweet and refreshing, and it was even more comfortable when paired with two eggs.
There was no rule of "no talking while eating" among the people at the table, they just ate and chatted at the same time.
"Mr. Mo, what happened at the government office?"
Lao Wang is close to them, so let me ask on behalf of Wang Changgui.
“That’s karma.”
Goethe took a sip of the old tofu and spoke slowly.
Neither admitted nor denied.
But that's enough.
Wang Changgui put down the bowl and bowed.
"Mr. Seamus."
"I don't have much money, but I heard from Lao Wang that Mr. Mo likes to eat, so I asked the waiters to prepare a meal. It was originally planned to be at noon, but some things took a lot of effort to prepare until the evening. You must come and enjoy it."
As he spoke, Shopkeeper Wang bowed again.
Goethe was about to say no, but when he heard the word "food", he swallowed it back.
"good!"
Goethe nodded.
Shopkeeper Wang immediately stood up and ate faster.
The big event today is to host a banquet for Mr. Mo.
He had to keep an eye on it.
Lao Wang also needs to help.
Li Changhai came to Haimen. He couldn't sit still and wanted to go out for a walk.
Soon, the three of them left the table.
Goethe continued to eat slowly, completely ignoring the gazes of Miss Wang and Huang Dangdang.
Goethe had long been accustomed to the look from the eldest daughter of the Wang family.
Not a fangirl, but worse than a fangirl.
Huang Dangdang was full of exploration.
However, Huang Dangdang held back and didn't ask.
She wanted to ask in private. Although the eldest lady of the Wang family was a good person, in her opinion, she was still an "outsider" in this matter because she had a contract with Mr. Mo.
When I think of the contract.
Huang Dangdang inexplicably felt that he was closer to Mr. Mo than to the eldest daughter of the Wang family.
Immediately, I felt a little inexplicable emotion in my heart.
It's not about love.
It's just that there's a hint of showing off in the plastic sisterhood.
And under this bit of showing off, Huang Dangdang couldn't help but open his mouth and ask.
"Mr. Mo, do you know those eight people?"
"Yes, I know."
Goethe nodded.
This is the truth, no deception.
After Song Rentou forced Shopkeeper Wang to leave yesterday, he let a [Blood Crow Spirit] follow him.
As expected, he found the middle-aged man behind the scenes, and followed the clues to catch all eight of them.
Goethe never expected that he could catch a fairly big fish so easily.
Of course, the biggest gain was what these eight people talked about.
The eight leaders of the 'Changsheng Dao' gathered in Haimen not for sightseeing, but for work under the secret order of the Taoist Master. It was not aimed at him or Huang Dangdang, let alone the Wang family.
But...
Someone in the government office.
The eight people didn't know who it was.
However, this was not difficult for Goethe.
The eight leaders of the 'Changsheng Dao' don't know who they are going to deal with, but do the people being dealt with know?
In other words, do the people being dealt with know that they have offended the 'Eternal Life Dao'?
Most likely you know.
So, Goethe gave the other party a reminder.
Tell the other party that the 'Path to Immortality' is here.
Let the other party come to him actively.
The other party will definitely come to find him.
Goethe firmly believed this.
As long as the other party does not want to miss the opportunity to get rid of the trouble of "Eternal Life" in one fell swoop, they will definitely come.
It's not just because of the strength shown by Goethe, but also because of the loss of the eight great altar masters, the 'Eternal Life Path' will definitely come!
And by then, he will be done with it once and for all.
After solving these troubles and taking the treasure of the "Sword Immortal", he can start his plan - the vitality contained in the fifty [Treasure Cards] given by Huang Dangdang is enough for him to complete most of it. If he can get another fifty [Treasure Cards], there will definitely be no problem.
In fact, if 'divination' had not been restricted again by the existence of luck, Goethe would have solved the problem in front of him in a faster way.
Goethe believed that the [Treasure Cards] in the treasure of the "Sword Immortal" would definitely not be like those [Treasure Cards] in Huang Dangdang's hands, which were all ranked very low.
Although there were many secret techniques, props, and drugs, none of them caught Goethe's eye.
"Now that you know, what about you?"
Huang Dangdang glanced at the eldest daughter of the Wang family and found that she was looking at him with a scrutinizing gaze. For some reason, he asked another question.
She kind of hated that kind of guarded, inquiring look.
Instinctively, she wanted to make the other person feel uncomfortable.
She feels happy when the other person feels uncomfortable.
"I just want to solve the trouble quickly."
Goethe once again speaks the truth.
"Everyone wants to solve the trouble quickly, but you are not afraid..."
Huang Dangdang didn't finish his words, but his meaning was obvious.
Goethe killed the Northern Heavenly Master and the eight altar masters of the 'Eternal Life' sect. The remaining three Heavenly Masters are not much different in strength from the Northern Heavenly Master, so there is basically no need to worry too much.
But what about the Taoist master of "Eternal Life"?
You know, the reason why the "Eternal Life" has existed in Daqian for so many years is because of the other party.
Not only is he extremely powerful, it is also rumored that he has several special [Treasure Cards].
Very difficult.
And do not fear death.
The way to longevity and the way to immortality refer to the way to longevity and immortality.
Goethe didn't answer, but a half-smile appeared on his face.
Before, when facing the 'Way of Immortality', he was quite cautious, but after last night, things became different.
His "divination" was of little use when facing people from the government office.
Originally, he had no idea about the Taoist master of the Tao of Immortality who did the divination.
It's just a matter of trying it out.
But who knew that they would actually find each other.
Moreover, that identity was really beyond people's expectations.
It can even be said that it is quite interesting.
"Mr. Mo is not afraid of the Taoist master of the 'Eternal Life' at all. If he is really found, he will definitely be able to suppress him with a single move."
The eldest daughter of the Wang family, who had been unable to get a word in, finally found a topic to talk about.
It's really trust without any bottom line.
In the eyes of the eldest lady of the Wang family, my Mr. Mo is invincible.
This made Huang Dangdang dissatisfied.
In Huang Dangdang's heart, no matter how strong a person is, he needs to be cautious and careful, otherwise he will end up capsizing in the ditch.
The original Mo Shengyi did a good job.
But I have neglected it recently.
In this matter, Mo Shengyi was certainly wrong, but the one who was more at fault was the eldest lady of the Wang family. If she hadn't been flattering him all the time, Mo Shengyi wouldn't have ended up like this.
Fortunately, it’s not too late!
She, Huang Dangdang, will correct Mr. Mo.
As for the eldest lady of the Wang family?
Such a flatterer should naturally be kept away from.
"Even if Mr. Mo can suppress the opponent with a flip of his hand, he still needs to be cautious. A lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit, not to mention that the leader of the 'Eternal Life' is not a rabbit. Miss Wang, if you want to do good for Mr. Mo, you must put away your current good-looking appearance, otherwise it will only hurt others and yourself."
Huang Dangdang's words were almost like scolding Wang Xiaofeng.
The implicit meaning of those words was not only that Wang Xiaofeng was stupid, but also that Wang Xiaofeng was a sycophantic villain who used her beauty to please others.
Of course Wang Xiaofeng heard it.
She not only understood the meaning of Huang Dangdang's words.
I also heard the hidden meaning in Huang Dangdang's words.
That is——
You don't deserve to be with Mr. Mo!
Teng!
Wang Xiaofeng's heart was burning with anger.
The eldest daughter of the Wang family is not someone you can easily mess with. She used to be soft-tempered because she was reluctant to leave her family. After experiencing that ungrateful incident, the eldest daughter of the Wang family is no longer the same.
"Oh~"
"Humans and demons have different paths!"
He stretched out his tone and spoke softly, then Huang Dangdang also stood up.
These words not only said that Huang Dangdang and Mo Shengyi were not suitable for each other, but also talked about her father and mother. Although she didn't care about her father, Huang Dangdang respected her mother very much.
Because she knew that her mother really risked her life to give birth to her.
Not only did his thousand-year cultivation be destroyed, but he also had a close call with death.
"What did you say?"
Huang Dangdang's eyes turned red.
The momentum changed accordingly.
Even with a hat on, the ears can't be covered.
The shadow of a white-haired, yellow-skinned creature gathered behind him.
An invisible strong wind blew in all directions with Huang Dangdang as the center.
The eldest lady of the Wang family said calmly.
"Don't you know what I mean?"
"and……"
"Who are you trying to scare?"
As Miss Wang spoke, she stood up as well. A faint hissing sound of a snake was heard, and the shadow of a giant snake surrounded Miss Wang, lowering its head to look at the white-haired, yellow-skinned creature.
Although they passed Shanhaiguan, neither Huang Dangdang nor Uncle Liu were greatly affected.
Especially Huang Dangdang.
It seems like there is an extra bonus.
When they were on the black soil, Goethe was sure that Huang Dangdang could not achieve something like "momentum taking shape".
He ignored the two of them.
Just keep your head down and continue eating.
Does this matter have anything to do with him?
He didn't provoke the two of them.
Moreover, Goethe's heart told him that he couldn't persuade them about this kind of thing. The more he tried to persuade them, the more angry they would get, and they might even start fighting with real weapons.
It would be better for him to just watch from the side and wait until the situation really starts and becomes out of control, then he can take action.
Anyway, these two can be suppressed with one hand.
It's really just one hand.
You don’t need much, just enough to fit.
The two men confronted each other.
Eating alone.
This situation is weird no matter how you look at it.
What was even more strange was that the next moment, the two people who were confronting each other sat down on Goethe's left and right with smiles on their faces again.
It was as if the confrontation just now did not exist.
snort!
Almost got fooled!
This woman is so mean, she wants me to show a bad image in front of Mr. Mo!
Once I take action, no matter whether I win or lose, as long as Mr. Mo is unhappy, I lose!
Not bad! Not bad!
The eldest lady of the Wang family thought to herself, and the smile on her face became brighter.
"Sorry, sister. I was just impulsive."
"Come, have a piece of fried cake that my boss asked the waiter to buy."
"Calm down."
The eldest daughter of the Wang family picked up a piece of fried cake for Huang Dangdang with chopsticks.
Huang Dangdang looked at the fried cake in front of him and couldn't eat it at all.
'My boss asked his servant to buy fried cakes'!
Isn't this obvious enough?
My home!
This is the key point!
The bigger point is: You eat my food and drink my drinks, and you still have the nerve to compete with me?
"Thank you, Sister Wang."
Huang Dangdang replied that she would never say something like "I will move out immediately and will not live in your house or eat at your house". If she said that, she would be fooled by the other party.
She left, but Mo Shengyi refused to leave.
Isn't she making room for others?
No!
I will never do it!
I can't swallow this!
Moreover, she calls him sister as soon as she opens her mouth. Are you trying to set some rules?
How can I possibly satisfy you?
Without waiting for Miss Wang to speak again, Huang Dangdang continued.
"I am sixteen this year. Sister Wang is indeed older than me. Would you like me to teach you a trick? Although you can't stay young forever like me, when you are sixty, you can look like you are thirty."
Don’t you want to be a sister?
Then I'll let you be the boss.
Anyway, I will remain young forever, but you?
Old woman!
The eldest daughter of the Wang family immediately received Huang Dangdang's message, and the smile on her face became a little stiff.
For any woman, age and appearance are fatal blows.
Suddenly, the eldest daughter of the Wang family was at a disadvantage.
"Beauty lies in the bones, not in the skin!"
"Yeah?"
"An old man in his seventies and eighties has chicken skin all over his face. Can you see the bones?"
Huang Dangdang smiled.
She won.
At this time, Goethe put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up and left.
That look made both of them panic.
"Mr. Mo?"
Miss Wang asked hurriedly.
"I'm going to run some errands."
"I'll bring you both some oranges when I come back."
Goethe said, quickening his pace.
We have to speed up.
Otherwise, the Taoist master of "Eternal Life" would have to run away.
