The village beauty and me!

Jin Dacheng's account, along with the affirmations from those thugs, completely baffled Chen Huan.

He didn't know what Kim Dae-sung used to do, but at least the guy was living a rather ordinary, even rather shabby, life now.

Running that run-down shop for a month would probably only earn you enough to cover rent and food expenses.

In terms of appearance and ability, apart from being quick-witted, eloquent, and good at deception, he doesn't seem to have any other skills.

If a beautiful, wealthy woman with fair skin were to fall for him, would Kim Dae-sung run away like this?

Faced with Chen Huan's gossipy and curious gaze, Jin Dacheng coughed twice.

He smiled wryly and said, "Brother, some things are too complicated to explain in a few words."

Let's not ask about it today.

Chen Huan naturally couldn't let Kim Dae-sung feel too awkward, so he smiled and nodded.

He waved his hand, letting the thugs leave.

"You're opening a big restaurant? Congratulations!"

"I'll personally pick out the most auspicious ornament for you to place on your counter or in your office. I guarantee you'll make a fortune every day." Jin Dacheng seemed to have forgotten the embarrassment of being attacked with stinky tofu earlier. He shook his head and started rambling on and on.

Chen Huan cupped his hands in greeting, "Then I'll take your good wishes in advance and thank you very much."

"You're a lucky person, and Heaven will surely bless you. My eyes won't be wrong," Kim Dae-sung replied cheerfully.

They got into Chen Huan's car and chatted all the way to the sauerkraut fish restaurant.

Fatty and Qiao Lingling have already returned.

Originally, Qiao Lingling intended to invite Chen Huan's sister-in-law and Zhao Yaru to come along.

However, Li Chunlan was not comfortable with such a scene, so she declined.

Zhao Yaru declined, citing the reason that she would stay home to accompany Li Chunlan.

Chen Huan didn't insist; on the contrary, he thought it was nice to have someone at home to keep his sister-in-law company and help her relieve her loneliness.

Without Zhao Yaru around, he and Qiao Lingling were able to chat more easily and comfortably.

  

The atmosphere at the dinner was pleasant and harmonious.

Besides announcing and celebrating matters related to the restaurant, this gathering had another important purpose: to discuss various details regarding the opening.

Chen Huan thought it over carefully. Now that he had brought Qiao Lingling and Grandpa Qiao into the group, he couldn't treat them unfairly.

Therefore, in some matters, we must let others take the lead.

Zhao Yaru completely agreed with this matter.

Tell Chen Huan directly that she can do whatever she wants, and if she encounters a problem she can't solve, then she can come to her.

With Zhao Yaru's attitude, Chen Huan had nothing to worry about.

Now all that's left is to see how capable Qiao Lingling and Grandpa Qiao are.

To be fair, Qiao Zhenshan did not disappoint Chen Huan.

He told Chen Huan directly that he had a lot of connections, most importantly, he knew some very capable and reliable chefs, as well as people in various positions in the kitchen.

All it takes is a phone call, and the other party will come to seek refuge soon.

This was like giving Chen Huan a reassurance.

All that's left is for Zhao Yaru to bring in a design and packaging team to do a simple renovation of the new restaurant, and then start the publicity campaign.

This step is essential.

After all, in such a remote place, opening such a large restaurant would be quite difficult if you didn't first build up its reputation, making the business thrive.

This drinking party went on until almost midnight.

After the event, Coach Sun reminded Chen Huan not to miss the exam the next morning.

The group parted ways, and Chen Huan and Fatty returned to Lotus Village.

He was supposed to go home, but after arriving at his doorstep, Chen Huan suddenly had a whim to go into the mountains.

Old Bai had a fierce battle with someone before and was seriously injured when he escaped. Although he received treatment, we still don't know his current condition.

Chen Huan had long regarded Lao Bai as his true partner, so at this moment, he crossed the river under the cover of night and came to the edge of the forest.

With just a whistle, a white shadow swept through the woods like a whirlwind.

Old Bai seems to have recovered well, but the scars on his body are still faintly visible.

Chen Huan sensed something was off. He reached out and touched the scars on Lao Bai's belly, asking, "With my healing abilities and your recovery abilities combined, these scars should have disappeared by now, right?"

"Why did you stay?"

He always felt that Old White's pure white and soft fur was marred by these shocking scars, which was unsightly and ruined the aesthetic appeal.

It's like a beautiful young woman with a scar on her body.

This is something Chen Huan absolutely cannot tolerate.

So, subconsciously, he circulated his internal energy, intending to eliminate these scars.

However, Lao Bai turned around and dodged away.

His expression held a hint of aloofness.

Chen Huan suddenly understood, "You want to keep this scar to remind yourself of the mistakes you made before?"

Old Bai called out twice and seemed to nod, clearly agreeing with Chen Huan's guess.

Chen Huan walked over, squatted down, and put her arms around Lao Bai's neck.

"How's the guy who hurt you doing now?"

"Do you want me to help you get revenge?"

Old Bai gently rubbed his head against Chen Huan's face twice and let out a soft cry.

Chen Huan was surprised to find that she seemed to have understood.

He subconsciously loosened his grip on Lao Bai's neck. "Will the incident where you slept with Zhao Lingling last time have any impact on me?"

It was obvious that Lao Bai had given him a big eye roll.

Chen Huan then laughed, "If there really were any impact, I wouldn't be able to not notice it myself."

"It just feels a bit too weird."

Lao Bai also refused Chen Huan's offer to help him take revenge.

I suspect they have their own reasons, perhaps they're thinking of taking revenge themselves.

"If you want to take revenge yourself, you'd better improve your strength as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, if I accidentally lose my life, who will look after the mountains and forests for me?" Chen Huan joked with a grin.

Old Bai glared at him again.

Suddenly, a gust of wind arose, rushing towards Chen Huan's body from all directions.

It was a grand and powerful event.

"Holy crap, is it that powerful?"

"It's much stronger than before." Chen Huan was startled.

He quickly circulated his internal energy and dodged, thus avoiding being hit head-on.

It's quite obvious that Lao Bai's cultivation level has improved significantly compared to before.

Logically speaking, it would be fortunate if his strength didn't decline after recovering from his injuries.

What is the reason for such rapid progress now?

Under Chen Huan's questioning gaze, Lao Bai suddenly barked twice and then began to lead Chen Huan deeper into the woods.

Finally, Chen Huan saw the familiar, huge blue stone.

His expression immediately turned strange. "Damn, you only used Zhao Jingjing's body to cultivate with me using your consciousness, and you've already gained this much?"

"Is this cultivation technique really that powerful?"
