Dao Cheng Gui Xian

Chapter 55 A Chance Encounter with Tiger Girl
The bell of the City God Temple rang, signaling the end of the visit!
A figure was already seated in the dining hall; it was Li Wushou, who had just finished reading the Record of Evil Spirits.

The junior priests left early today, and Chef Hu felt even more tired than before, instead of feeling more relaxed.

It's not physical exhaustion, it's mental exhaustion!

Without him!

When Priest Liu left, he first went to the kitchen and announced that the kitchen's funding had been doubled.

Before Chef Hu could even rejoice, the priest Liu informed him of Li Wushou's reforms for the kitchen.

Looking at the high priest waiting to pack up his food in the dining hall, Chef Hu felt even more exhausted.

Chef Hu suffers, but he doesn't say anything, not because he's strong, but because he's afraid to!

Chef Hu had initially suspected that the High Priest might have a grudge against him, but now it seems that the grudge is far more serious than he imagined!
Approaching Li Wushou with trepidation, Chef Hu said timidly, "High Priest, today's meals have been packed up!"

Li Wushou wondered what was wrong with this skilled chef today. He nodded, thanked him, and was about to accept the food as usual when he heard Chef Hu in front of him hurriedly say:

"High Priest, I'll take this food back to you! I'll also personally deliver tomorrow morning's breakfast."

"Huh?"

Li Wushou was somewhat surprised; had the cafeteria reform been implemented so quickly?

I was just mentioning it because I missed mealtimes due to being out these past few days. Is it really that effective?
The allure of power is truly captivating!
Li Wushou was filled with mixed emotions, while Chef Hu's heart was pounding in his throat.

From the moment he heard about the delivery service, Chef Hu wished he could slap himself a few more times.

That's incredibly tactless!

A high priest comes to pack his own food every day, while you just watch him eat. No wonder the high priest is unhappy!
"Thank you so much, Chef Hu!"

After expressing his feelings, Li Wushou bowed to Chef Hu and thanked him sincerely.

Eating! In the world of beggars, it's the most important thing. If someone is willing to give you food, you should be grateful no matter how much you want to thank them.

"No, no, I was too naive in the past. From now on, if Your Excellency needs anything or wants to eat anything, just give me your orders, and I will certainly take care of it for you!"

"That would be so embarrassing!"

"High Priest, what are you saying? It's just my duty! Please give me any requests you may have."

"Okay~ Then let's prepare three portions of the same food from now on, so it'll be easier to divide them!"

"Uh~Okay!"

"."

Li Wushou handed a key to the front door to Chef Hu, telling him to deliver the food to the lobby, and then turned and left.

There are no servants in the house, and the old beggar and Chen Gou'er are lazy, so don't sleep too soundly and miss the mealtime.

Li Wushou left the City God Temple feeling relaxed. Having experienced the taste of power for the first time, Li Wushou was in a good mood and began to stroll around the west street of the main city.

It was just past 3 PM, and there were still many pedestrians on the road.

The streets near the City God Temple are still quite lively, and they usually only quiet down after 5 PM.

Along the way, everyone treated Li Wushou, who was dressed in a blue priest's robe, with great respect. After Li Wushou left, whispers and murmurs often came from behind him.

Clearly, everyone had already heard of this High Priest Li Wushou, and there were even more rumors circulating about him among the common people!

Some people say he bullied orphans and widows on the Cherry Blossom Bridge.
Some say he vanquished evil spirits on the Cherry Blossom Bridge.
Some even say he is the illegitimate son of the City God and is very much loved by the City God.

The rumors were vivid and detailed, but Li Wushou knew nothing about them. He strolled through the city, enjoying the long-lost atmosphere of everyday life.

Suddenly, a loud gong sounded from the "Youjian Teahouse" on the street, and a deep and familiar voice echoed along the street.

"To hear what happens next, stay tuned for the next chapter!" "Huh? Scholar Wu?"

Li Wushou was somewhat taken aback. When did Scholar Wu come to Zhengcheng to tell stories?
Looking up at the teahouse, Li Wushou wanted to confirm something.

What are they doing, sneaking around like that?

A familiar, soft rebuke suddenly rang out from behind, and Li Wushou shuddered.

Turning around, he looked at Tiger Girl, who was about the same height as him, dressed in her usual black outfit, with an unadorned, exquisite face.

"Haha, Qinghe! What a coincidence! When did you come to Zhengcheng to tell stories? I thought I misheard when I heard Wu Zhuangyuan's voice just now."

Wu Qinghe glanced at Li Wushou, who was making a lot of small movements, and replied, "How come only you, the high priest, are allowed to come to this Zhengcheng?"

"Look at what you're saying! I was just thinking that it would be inconvenient for you to keep in touch."

"We've moved; we now live in Zhengcheng!"

"Oh, you moved? You're living in Zheng what? In Zhengcheng?"

Li Wushou, who was still agreeing, suddenly looked at Wu Qinghe with some surprise to confirm.

It should be noted that ever since Nancheng was sold to the Blood Buddha Temple, the Blood Buddha Temple has been recording the vital energy and aura of every person in Nancheng.

The cruelty of the Five Senses is such that not every person in Nancheng has thought of escaping, but without exception, they will all eventually be captured by the Blood Buddha Temple and drained of their life essence until they die!

Moving from the south city to the main city would cost a considerable amount of money.

Li Wushou knew that Wu Zhuangyuan was rich, but he didn't know that Wu Zhuangyuan was so rich, nor did he know why he was rich!
Somewhat dissatisfied with Li Wushou's attitude, Wu Qinghe stared at Li Wushou and asked softly, "Can't I stay in Zhengcheng?"

Seeing Wu Qinghe's slightly narrowed eyes, Li Wushou sensed danger and replied solemnly, "This is the glory of Zhengcheng!"

Wu Qinghe gave a soft snort and looked away.

Li Wushou's mind was racing as he considered how to leave, because he was afraid that if they talked for too long, this tiger girl would say "Give me back my money!" again, and then he would lose face as the high priest.
Even though a beggar's sense of shame is useless!

Just then, Chef Hu, pushing his food cart, walked past the teahouse. A glint of light flashed in Li Wushou's eyes, and he quickly called out:

"Chef Hu, what a coincidence! Are you delivering food to my house? Come, come, let me show you the way!"

"Uh... High Priest!"

Chef Hu was startled by Li Wushou's shout. He turned around and saw the High Priest walking towards him with a warm smile. Chef Hu was flattered and also felt fortunate that he had realized his mistake too late.
Li Wushou walked over to Chef Hu, patted him on the shoulder affectionately, and then turned to Wu Qinghe and said:
"Qinghe, look how unfortunate this is, Chef Hu has to deliver food to his home, I have to go now, let's chat again next time."

Seeing Li Wushou's behavior, Wu Qinghe felt a nameless anger rise up for no reason!

"Oh? I was actually thinking of inviting you to dinner tonight!"

"What a coincidence! This whole truckload of food is for my family!"

"Really? Why don't you think about it again?"

"hiss"

A moment later, Li Wushou gritted his teeth, looking somewhat dejected, and slowly followed behind Wu Qinghe, carrying several lunch boxes.

Behind him followed another scholar, Wu Zhuangyuan, whose teeth were practically grinding to dust!

Thank you everyone for reading!

It is regrettable that the three-wheeled vehicle has crashed.

Normally, I should be able to advance, but unfortunately, Tuesday's follow-up reading was the lowest.

I probably shouldn't have added more chapters, but I don't regret it!
There's one last chance for revival next Tuesday. I hope that those who have read this page will help me read it next Tuesday to give Sanlun a boost and help this book go further. Thank you everyone!

Wishing everyone good health!
