Chapter 1597: Chapter 598: Off You Go! (Part 2)
Seeing this, the young lady couldn’t help but lick her lips, swallow, and then carefully picked up one and took a bite.
Tasting it and feeling it was good, she began eating with both hands as if she were ambidextrous.
Her hands moved so fast they almost left afterimages. In the time it took the waiter to be stunned, half a platter of buns was already gone...
It nearly scared the waiter to death.
He’d seen people with big appetites but never anyone eat like this.
Wasn’t she a monster from some mountain?
Were all these five platters of buns prepared just for her?
As he was feeling his heart pound, he saw the young lady stop and turn to look at him, licking her lips gently.
The girl was beautiful, and this action should have been extremely alluring.
But the waiter was so scared his face turned pale, and he instinctively took two steps back:
"You... you..."
He wanted to say, ’Don’t eat me,’ but felt that saying it out loud would only give her the idea?
Acting weak would only make her look down on him more.
He instinctively glanced at the maid who just now looked incredibly appealing, only to find her grinning with two missing front teeth...
"What do you mean what?"
The young lady glared at the waiter:
"Help me get the buns."
Hearing this, the waiter felt as if he had received a pardon from the emperor.
The rich young master looked helplessly at the young lady:
"Take it easy... with the way you’re eating, someone might think you’re going to eat people."
"Mmm, mmm, got it."
The young lady nodded repeatedly, listening to the young master’s words, yet her hands continued to fly.
By the time the second platter of buns was served, the first platter in front of her was already empty.
For a moment, all the guests in the tea house couldn’t help but watch the young lady.
They wanted to see just how much she could eat.
Some even got hungry just by watching her; they originally didn’t want to eat, only wanted a cup of tea, but seeing her eat with such relish and grease flowing from her mouth, they couldn’t help but ask the waiter:
"Are there any more meat buns?"
The waiter replied with a mournful face:
"No more..."
This small tea stall had already reached its limit by gathering five platters of big meat buns.
Usually, they couldn’t even sell them all.
How could they have prepared more?
Upon hearing this, the guest waved his hand disinterestedly and turned back to stare at the young lady, as if merely watching her eat would fill him up as well.
The young lady wasn’t shy at all.
Her hands resembled a whirlwind, her mouth like a great whale swallowing water, taking the buns in one after another.
The waiter was busy for a good while before finally delivering everything this table of guests requested.
Just as he stood there catching his breath, he heard the rich young master ask:
"Waiter, I have another question for you."
"Yes, yes, please ask."
The waiter quickly nodded.
He heard the rich young master laugh:
"How far is it from here to Baisui City?"
This group of people, naturally, didn’t need further introduction.
The one eating meat buns like a whirlwind was Zhen Xiaoxiao.
The one dressed as a rich young master was Su Mo, and the young woman beside him was Yang Xiaoyun.
Beside them sat Wei Ziyi and Little Situ, quietly sipping tea.
The maid missing two front teeth, who had yet to remedy the situation, was the renowned Sihai Witch, Yin Xiaoyu, from Nanhai.
The other young lady standing behind Zhen Xiaoxiao was Mu Shanshan.
Following alongside were several guards including Xiao He, Zhou Su, Chen Dinghai, and Old Ma...
The ones guarding the convoy were experts selected from the Dragon King Hall and the Nanhai Alliance.
Not one was an ordinary person.
The White Tiger’s intimidating size required avoiding unnecessary trouble, so Su Mo had Xiao Dao Ren and Shu Jing accompany it while moving stealthily in the forest.
Since Su Mo quietly left Wangyou Island for Xizhou, a month had passed.
Drifting on the ship for more than half the month, then setting foot on solid ground, left some feeling unaccustomed.
On this first journey into Xizhou, quality was valued over quantity.
Therefore, Su Mo didn’t bring too many people, as too many would draw attention.
The majority were left in Nanhai.
They all had to use disguises; his reputation in Nanhai had made a great stir.
It’s unlikely that Xizhou knew nothing about it.
To avoid alerting the enemy, they all changed their appearances, not even revealing the golden signboard of the "Ziyang Escort Agency."
Since setting foot in Xizhou, it had been more than ten days now. Their first destination was Baisui City.
Stopping by here, they intended to drink a cup of tea and explore the route.
But Zhen Xiaoxiao couldn’t resist as soon as she smelled the meat, and Su Mo knew her Whale Swallowing Skill was incredible, converting whatever she ate into Inner Strength, the more, the better, so he let her be.
As for whether he was heartbroken over his wallet... well, that’s not something to share with outsiders.
But little did he expect that asking for directions would cause all the guests in the tea house to glance at him.
Su Mo noticed this reaction and sensed something.
The group gathered in the tea house seemed not to know each other, yet occasional eye contact indicated they were familiar.
Pretending not to know each other likely suggested ulterior motives.
They reacted this way about Baisui City; could they have a connection with it?
Or was there something unusual about Baisui City?
Su Mo wasn’t particularly concerned about Baisui City experiencing any changes.
But finding Young Master Xing was still necessary.
Entrusted by Xuanzhen Little Monk, upon arriving in Xizhou, Su Mo and his group had been discreetly probing for news of the Blood Lotus.
But no one seemed to know anything.
Considering the matter’s secrecy, it was unknown if Young Master Xing was as omnipotent as the Island Master of Wangyou Island claimed...
