Seeing the somewhat familiar back, Zhuang Xiaoyuan's eyes narrowed, he took the last bite of barbecue into his mouth, casually threw away the wooden skewer in his hand, walked past the man as if nothing happened, and walked in the direction of the inn's kitchen.

is a meeting in Pingshui, Zhuang Xiaoyuan has no plans to catch up with him, and he doesn't want to continue to play with him. It's better to pretend that you didn't see it and pass by.

"Huh?!" Boredom sitting at the table waiting for his own wine and food to be served, Jiang Sidao was bored, a breeze blew beside him, accompanied by a faint fragrance of sandalwood, a girl walked past him. Seeing this girl's characteristic robe, Jiang Sidao was slightly stunned and instantly recognized her.

However, seeing Zhuang Xiaoyuan's back walking into the depths of the inn, Jiang Sidao sat in place and didn't move. Sitting here so openly, with the perception she showed yesterday, it is impossible not to discover herself, and looking at her current performance, I am afraid she doesn't want to contact herself.

It just so happened that although he was robbed of some of his money, he was shocked by the other party's acting skills in shame before. However, for Zhuang Xiaoyuan, a powerful faction that he can't resist, Jiang Sidao himself doesn't want to get in touch with it.

Yesterday, after frantically escaping from Zhuang Xiaoyuan's control and finding a safe foothold, Jiang Sidao gradually reflected and found that he was completely tricked by her.

However, even if he knew that he had been tricked, Jiang Sidao never thought about retaliating back, because ...... I really can't beat it. In the face of a powerful faction like Zhuang Xiaoyuan, Jiang Sidao, who can only steal petty, also has to complain about his master, why did he only teach himself to escape, but not the ability to fight.

"This immortal elder, do you have any orders?" When Zhuang Xiaoyuan came to the kitchen of the inn in the direction he saw before, a shopkeeper came out of it with a few plates of side dishes and wine. Seeing Zhuang Xiaoyuan walking towards this side, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then bowed down and asked with a professional enthusiastic smile on his face.

"Can you borrow one from your kitchen?" Seeing this enthusiastic shopkeeper, Zhuang Xiaoyuan recognized him at a glance. This one is the one who entertained Zhuang Xiaoyuan before.

"Borrow the kitchen?!" I didn't expect Zhuang Xiaoyuan to come over and actually want to borrow the kitchen, which made the shopkeeper flute again, and the enthusiastic smile on his face became unnatural.

"Well, I promised someone else to make a nice dinner for him, and now it's about time, and he should come back. So I'd like to borrow the kitchen and ingredients from your store, but I don't know if it's possible. I'll pay. ”

Nodding, Zhuang Xiaoyuan slightly explained the reason why he wanted to borrow the kitchen.

"Well, I can't do that. Can the Immortal Elder wait a moment, I'll ask our shopkeeper. With a hint of embarrassment on his face, the shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and spoke.

"Okay, I'll wait for you here." After thinking about it, a shopkeeper really can't have any ideas, and it's good to be able to ask the shopkeeper to help. So Zhuang Xiaoyuan didn't embarrass him and agreed to his request to wait for a while.

"Immortal Chief, wait a minute, I'll be back right away." After getting Zhuang Xiaoyuan's answer, the smile on the face of the shopkeeper became more and more enthusiastic, and he left a sentence very politely, and hurriedly rushed outside with the wine and food.

Seeing the shopkeeper leave, Zhuang Xiaoyuan stood in place and waited for him. didn't let Zhuang Xiaoyuan wait for a long time, and after about five or six minutes, the sweaty shopkeeper appeared in front of Zhuang Xiaoyuan in a hurry.

"Immortal, the shopkeeper agreed. The kitchen has a stove and ingredients at your disposal. However, any amount used will be deducted from your deposit. Panting and running to Zhuang Xiaoyuan, the shopkeeper wiped a handful of sweat with his hands, still with a smile on his face, and said with a smile.

"You're nice, thank you. This is for you, just defend yourself. Looking at the sweaty appearance of the shopkeeper, Zhuang Xiaoyuan's eyes fluctuated slightly and nodded. As he spoke, he took out two spirit talismans from his sleeves and handed them to the shopkeeper.

These two talismans are immobilization talismans, and as long as the spirit talisman is attached to the monster monster, their actions can be fixed. However, the power of the single sheet is not large, and the effect on monsters that exceed Zhuang Xiaoyuan's own strength is not obvious.

However, Zhuang Xiaoyuan sent the spirit talisman to the shopkeeper at this time, not for him to use it to set the monster. Although the effect of the immobilization charm is to immobilize the monster, the spiritual power contained in it itself has no fixed effect.

As long as these two talismans are hidden on the body, in case of danger, the spiritual power contained in the talisman will be automatically released to form a certain degree of protection. Although it can't block much of an attack, it's still possible to block demonic energy, murderous energy, blood energy, demonic energy, miasma and other alien aura.

This can be regarded as Zhuang Xiaoyuan's enthusiastic feedback to the shopkeeper. Although it is his own job, but being so warmly entertained by the shopkeeper, Zhuang Xiaoyuan's mood is really good, so he is not stingy with two spirit runes.

"It's ...... Thank you for the gift of the immortal. After conveying the shopkeeper's words, the shopkeeper saw the two spirit runes handed to him by Zhuang Xiaoyuan, and his eyes couldn't help but show a trace of excitement.

For ordinary people like them, it was enough for the immortals to take out a random thing to be regarded as a treasure by them. Therefore, when he took the spirit runes handed over by Zhuang Xiaoyuan, the shopkeeper seemed cautious for fear of breaking the two spirit runes.

"Don't worry, even if you tear these two spirit runes of mine with all your strength, they won't be broken, unless the spiritual power in the spirit runes is exhausted." Looking at the shopkeeper's cautious appearance with a smile, Zhuang Xiaoyuan smiled and continued:

"You'd better carry these two talismans with you, and if you have any important relatives, you can give him one of them. There may be some unrest in the city lately, but it's always good to have a little security. ”

"Yes, I'll definitely bring it with me." Carefully put the spirit talisman into his arms and hid it, and after hearing the second half of Zhuang Xiaoyuan's words, the shopkeeper's face showed a trace of worry and asked, "Immortal Chief, there is no peace in the city, is there something going to happen?" Are there any youkai who are coming to make trouble? ”

"It's uncertain if it's going to happen, but there are some hidden dangers, and you shouldn't chew your tongue with others. Maybe it will be resolved before it happens. He waved his hand comfortingly, and seeing that the shopkeeper had put away the spirit talisman, Zhuang Xiaoyuan didn't say anything more, turned around and walked into the kitchen.

It's not too early, and it's time to start preparing, otherwise with Po's appetite, maybe it won't be too late.
