My restaurant connects to the demon realm, and I've become incredibly wealthy!

Chapter 57 Old Master Huo

Just like the old man she met before, he was very skilled with a long spear.

He may look tall and fierce, but he has a very soft heart.

pity········
In the end, she killed the old man for the sake of her mission.

Her words softened Old Master Huo's hardened heart, and he sat down with her.

"Little Yaoyao, may I call you that?"

Fearing she might misunderstand, Grandpa Huo quickly added, "I didn't mean anything by it. It's just that I felt an instant connection with you the moment I saw you. You're such a sweet and gentle girl, unlike my sons, who are all so smelly and stinky. Even I find them annoying."

Huo Yanchen, who was following behind Old Master Huo and pretending to be invisible, looked like he had seen a ghost. When did Grandpa start speaking in a pinched voice?
They know that Grandpa likes his sweet and cuddly granddaughter, but his grandsons are just as good, aren't they?

Huo Yanchen didn't dare to make a sound; it was better to pretend he was invisible.

"You may call me whatever you like, Grandpa. Please have some tea." Bai Hu Yaoyao poured a cup of tea herself and handed it to the old man with both hands.

Grandpa Huo was delighted and quickly took the teacup and took a sip. "Not bad, not bad! This tea is delicious."

"Girl, I came here to see those treasures. I've been so restless for days, I haven't slept well at all, all because I'm thinking about those treasures."

"Would you be willing to part with your daughter and sell her to me?"

Old Master Huo got straight to the point.

Ever since he saw those treasures, he hasn't been able to sleep a wink.

He was finally going to see his beloved baby, how could he not be excited?
Bai Hu Yaoyao could tell that this old man was a man of strong emotions and also had a short temper.

"Of course! But those things look like just a few rare medicinal herbs, not really treasures. I'll have someone bring them over right away."

The white fox gave Zi Mei a look, and Zi Mei understood immediately, going straight to find Manager Chen.

Old Master Huo stroked his beard, his expression becoming more serious. "To be honest, girl, I've been searching for these medicinal herbs for a long time. A friend of mine passed away because he lacked these herbs. The doctors at the time all said that these herbs were legendary and impossible to find. I didn't believe it, so I traveled all over the country to prove that these herbs exist and that I can find them."

"What a pity! I found these medicinal herbs today, but my old friend has long since passed away. I bought these herbs to put an end to my obsession."

After hearing this, Baihu Yaoyao understood the old man's persistent feelings and didn't know how to persuade him.

"Sir, our friend has passed away. Please accept our deepest condolences."

"Please take these medicinal herbs back with you, sir."

Just as the doctor said, these medicinal herbs are indeed legendary.

If she hadn't brought it from the demon race, it probably would never have appeared on this continent.

At this moment, Zi Mei came in carrying a tray with three white jade boxes on it.

"Boss, this is what the old man wanted." He put down the tray and stood beside Bai Hu Yaoyao.

She had seen such a white jade box once before, and it was priceless.

The boss actually used it to store medicinal herbs?
Zi Mei's heart ached with pain.

Old Master Huo was clearly a discerning person; he gasped the moment he saw the white jade box.

"This this?"

He felt that using a white jade box to store medicinal herbs was indeed a waste of resources.

Bai Hu Yaoyao opened one of the white jade boxes. "Grandpa, because the medicinal herbs are fresh, they can only be stored in white jade boxes. If they were dried, their medicinal effects would be greatly reduced. Storing them in this white jade box will preserve them for thousands of years without any problem."

Dong Lijue said that these medicinal herbs are stored in white jade boxes, which will not rot, and the longer they are preserved, the longer their medicinal effects will last.

These medicinal herbs were given to her by Dong Lijue, and they were placed in these white jade boxes when he gave them to her.

Old Master Huo took a deep breath, his hand holding the white jade box trembling. "A fine item! It is indeed a fine item!"

One of the medicinal herbs the old man wanted was fire lotus. When the white jade box was opened, a wisp of steam rose out.

Huo Yanchen stared in shock at the fiery red lotus in the box.

There is only one Fire Lotus, a nine-petaled Fire Lotus, with each petal resembling a flame. In the center of the lotus, there are nine fiery red lotus seeds growing from the seedpod.

The lotus stems were even fiery red! Beautiful!
So beautiful!
He never knew that a medicinal herb could be so beautiful.

Not only was he captivated by the fire lotus, but Old Master Huo and Zi Mei were also stunned by its beauty.

Old Master Huo, being more experienced, quickly recovered and said, "Girl, I'll accept this! Here's a silver note! You must have many other good things here! I'm going down to attend the auction in a bit; I want to buy more treasures to take back."

Old Master Huo placed a stack of silver notes on the table and quickly closed the white jade box to shut out the heat from the fire lotus.

He also put away the other two boxes.

They were afraid that Bai Hu Yaoyao might change her mind at any moment.

The white fox Yaoyao stared blankly at the foot-thick stack of silver notes before her.

"Grandpa, isn't this too much?"

These banknotes total ten million taels of silver; even an auction might not be able to fetch that much money.

This is like becoming rich overnight.

Old Master Huo held onto the three white jade boxes tightly, saying, "Not many, not many! I'll go to the auction again and bid on some other things."

Such good things are always better the more the better.

"Alright! The auction is about to start, shall we go down together?"

The auction was held on the first floor, while the second floor had private rooms. Bai Hu Yaoyao reserved the most luxurious room for herself.

"Alright, alright," Old Master Huo agreed, and followed Bai Hu Yaoyao downstairs.

No one was allowed to touch the white jade box in her arms.

Even his grandson cannot be touched.

Huo Yanchen remained silent.

Once inside the private room, the group chatted and laughed, instantly bridging the gap between them.

Grandpa Huo grew increasingly fond of the white fox Yaoyao, wishing he could take her home and raise her as his granddaughter.

No one in the Huo family had a daughter for generations, and Old Master Huo was extremely jealous when he saw other families with granddaughters.

Now, in his heart, he has decided that Bai Hu Yaoyao is his Huo family's granddaughter.

He'll be protecting this kid from now on!
Bai Hu Yaoyao was unaware of the many thoughts that Old Master Huo was having, and at that moment, the auction began.

Zi Mei is today's auctioneer, and she is now introducing Dongzhu.

To avoid attracting too much attention, she only brought out two pearls for auction.

Pearls the size of an egg are rare. A single pearl may not be very valuable, but a pair of pearls together are quite expensive.

"Today's first lot is a pair of deep-sea pearls from the East China Sea. Each pearl is perfectly round..."

Zi Mei kept introducing the advantages of Dongzhu.

"Girl, this Dongzhu pearl is also a good thing." Although Grandpa Huo likes to collect good things, he doesn't think this Dongzhu pearl is suitable for him to collect.

He tends to treat this pearl as a collectible item.

"Grandpa, the best stuff is yet to come."

The items at today's auction will only get better and better.

"That's true! The best items are always the grand finale." Old Master Huo was focused on the auction, not wanting to miss a single item.

The white fox Yaoyao smiled.

The old man knows quite a lot.

I'll say it again, this book is a slow burn.
