Bu Fangâs palm was strong and sturdy. He grabbed the youthâs collar and lifted him up, causing that youthâs face to turn somewhat red from suffocation.
âSenior, by just a look, I can tell that you are absolutely not a mortal. This puppet is actually able to eat crystals; thatâs so cool. How about selling it to me for 50 crystals? Thatâs already tens of years of my savings. With this puppet, I can use it to tease Sha Sha to laughter!â Lifted up by Bu Fang, Xiao Yu continued to bare his fangs and brandish his claws while mumbling to himself unceasingly.
âWho is Sha Sha?â Bu Fang asked.
âSouthern City, City Lordâs daughter⌠She is very pretty! We are childhood sweethearts, IâŚâ
Bu Fang was expressionless and totally ignored this youthâs words. Cool weapon? He was buying Whitey just so he could use it to chase after girls? How about looking past its outer appearance and seeing the true character within? Whitey obviously wasnât a weapon for showing o ff.
âFor just 50 crystals, the price of a plate of Sweet ânâ Sour Ribs, you wish to buy Whitey? Do you know how many plates of Sweet ânâ Sour Ribs does Whitey need to eat everyday?â
âXiao Yu, what kind of nonsense are you spouting!â
Xiao Yanyu did not know whether to laugh or cry. How did these two clowns bump into each other?
Furthermore, Xiao Yu actually just said so, didnât he âŚhe wanted to use 50 crystals to buy Whitey who was standing behind Owner Bu right this very instant. How daring of you, dear little brother of mine!
âOh⌠you know him? This fellow is truly an annoyance.â Bu Fang released Xiao Yu, but in an instant, that fella made a 180 degree turn and was prepared to pounce onto Bu Fang. However,, Bu Fang promptly stretched out his hand and blocked Xiao Yuâs head.
âHow many times do I have to say that you will not be able to support Whitey. Give it up. There are better options waiting for you out there,â Bu Fang said seriously.
Whiteyâs mechanical eyes flickered as it touched its spherical head.
âStop fooling around, Xiao Yu. Owner is right. You really canât afford it.â Xiao Yanyu pulled Xiao Yuâs sleeve. âWhat Bu Fang said was the truth,â he said.
âOlder Sister Yanyu⌠Why arenât you speaking up for me? You should be helping me persuade senior. Could it be that there is something fishy going on between the both of you?â Xiao Yu said discontentedly as he sized up Xiao Yanyu and Bu Fangâs bodies suspiciously with his eyes.
Xiao Yanyu widened her eyes, glaring as her cheeks flushed red. She raised a hand and hit Xiao Yuâs head.
âWhat bullshit are you talking about! Say that again and I will have my second brotherâs wife make you kneel on the wolfâs fangs mace!â
Xiao Yuâs face stiffened. He shut his mouth and no longer spoke.
âOwner Bu, why are you here? Did Xiao Ya do you a disservice? I was just about to look for you,â Xiao Yanyuâs complexion softened as she smiles at Bu Fang.
Bu Fangâs expression was tranquil and calm. Disservice⌠oh, it was extremely unsatisfactory.
âSister, your maid actually brought senior to such a lowly guest room. What kind of attitude is that? I already ordered the men to give senior a sideroom. Furthermore⌠senior said that he was looking for you so I brought him over,â Xiao Yu said softly.
Xiao Yanyu was taken aback. She frowned. This Xiao YaâŚ
âForget it. Didnât you say that I will be able to taste the genuine Pan-Fried Pork Bun in the Xiao mansion? Bring me there,â Bu Fang said.
Xiao Yanyu pursed her lips. Just as she was about to speak however, Xiao Yu, who was standing at the side, immediately cut in with an exclamation of his own.
âWhat? Senior, you are here to eat the Pan-Fried Pork Bun? Thatâs not happening⌠My mother has already retired long ago!â
Bang! Xiao Yanyu knocked on Xiao Yuâs head without any reservation.
âRetired, your head! Shut up, I did not ask you to speak.â Xiao Yanyu was in a good mood. What retired? This fellow mouth was just full of nonsense.
âThen Miss Lin is his mother?â Bu Fang peered at Xiao Yu, flabbergasted.
âYea. Xiao Yu is the son of my second uncle. He is somewhat naughty and mischievous. I apologise for any inconvenience he might have caused,â Xiao Yanyu said apologetically.
âHeâs not naughty or mischievous at all. Just a little foolish and annoying,â Bu Fang waved his hand and said earnestly.
Immediately, Xiao Yuâs complexion turned rigid as he looked at Bu Fang in grief and indignation. He only wanted to buy Whitey to chase after girls and act cool; how did he become foolish⌠To think the senior was such a person.
Xiao Yanyu was leading the way in front while the trio walked in a straight line.
Xiao Yuâs mother was the âBeauty of Bunâ. After she married Xiao Yuâs father, it had been long since she last made the Pan-Fried Pork Bun. She would only make them sometimes during the Spring Festival. Therefore, it was very difficult for an ordinary person to taste her culinary skills.
âMy motherâs attitude is very resolute. If she said that sheâs not gonna make it, she wonât make it. Reportedly, there was a big boss who had come from the Imperial City and had wanted to buy it with crystals but my mother still chose to not make it,â Xiao Yu said complacently.
Xiao Yanyu gave him a quick glare and smiled at Bu Fang helplessly, indicating that what Xiao Yu said was right.
Bu Fang frowned. The Spring Festival had just ended. Would it mean that he no longer have the opportunity to eat the Pan-Fried Pork Bun anymore? It was such a pity, so regretful.
However, it was because of this that Bu Fangâs heart got even more curious towards this Pan-Fried Pork Bun.
âSenior, how about you sell Whitey to me and Iâll try to help you convince my mother?â Xiao Yu widened his eyes and probed.
However, Bu Fang shot him an indifferent glance. âI already said that you wonât be able to afford or support it.â
Xiao Yuâs face turned black.
âOwner Bu, let me bring you over to meet my second aunt. As for whether you can convince my second aunt to cook the Pan-Fried Pork Bun, it will all depend on fate,â Xiao Yanyu said.
Bu Fang nodded. This was the only way now.
The trio strolled around the exquisite garden. Bu Fang was already feeling somewhat dizzy from the strolling. With such a big courtyard, wouldnât the people staying here get lost?
A moment later, after strolling around for some time, the trio arrived at the front of a large courtyard.
Xiao Yu took the initiative to push open the courtyard gate. He shouted lightly, âMother, I am back.â
A rustling noise resonated from inside the courtyard and an attractive figure walked out from the house. This was a mature, beautiful, calm and graceful woman. Her figure was well developed and she had pretty good facial features. From time to time, there would be a smile that brought warmth to a personâs heart on the corner of her mouth.
âXiao Yu, you are back. Your dad had just returned to his room. Come in. Yanyu is also here? Er⌠This is?â
The noble woman gave Bu Fang a suspicious glance and asked Yanyu with a smile.
Xiao Yanyu introduced Bu Fangâs identity to the noble woman, but she did not give any details.
âSince he is Yanyuâs friend, letâs have him as a guest of the house,â the noble woman known as Lin QinâEr, or Miss Lin, smiled gracefully and leisurely walked into the house.
Xiao Yu drooped his head. His father was also inside the house; he would not be able to hop around then.
The moment Bu Fang stepped into the house, a faint aroma of sandalwood and rich tea pervaded the air.
The interior of the house was extremely wide. Bu Fang directly faced a living room. There were a few wooden chairs and a wooden table in it.
A middle-aged man was sitting in that living room drinking tea as he looked at Bu Fang, who had just walked in.
He was a handsome man. Even though he was now a middle aged man, his face still some traces of his past handsomeness. His features had a heroic, almost dominee Oh quality to it in the same vein as Xiao Meng.
This person was the Xiao Familyâs Secord Lord, Xiao Keyun.
Bu Fang glanced at the man and his eyes narrowed slightly. He was brimming with power, but this was only on the surface. Underneath his powerful aura, there was also a thread of weakness and frailty. Moreover, a strange blackness seemed to flash across his face from time to time. As it did so, it swallowed up his vitality with each pass.
This personâŚ. Something was odd about him.
While Bu Fang was sizing up Xiao Keyun, the latter was also observing Bu Fang. His spirit palpitated because he could feel a thread of formidable energy concealed in this young manâs body.
As his heart shivered, he opened his mouth and immediately asked:
âSire is?â
âThis person is Onwer Bu, Yanyuâs friend from Imperial City. It just so happen that they met each other in Southern City. So, Yanyu invited him over as a guest here,â Lin QinâEr explained in a smile.
âOh⌠I came over to Xiao Mansion just so I can try your Pan-Fried Pork Bun. Therefore, I humbly request that you make a plate of Pan-Fried Pork Bun,â Bu Fang cupped his hand and said to Lin QinâEr humbly.
âSecond Uncle, Owner Bu went through the trouble of traveling a long distance trip from the Imperial City to Southern City just so he could try Second Auntâs culinary skills. Could sheâŚâ Xiao Yanyu looked at Xiao Keyun and said with a smile.
But before she even finished her sentence, it was interrupted by Xiao Keyunâs cold demeanor.
âNo way. QinâEr doesnât make Pan-Fried Pork Bun anymore. I request sire to go back.â Xiao Keyunâs complexion turned heavy. He waved his head, impolitely ordering the guest to leave.
Xiao Yanyu immediately turned rigid. She looked at Bu Fangâs profile helplessly.
Lin QinâEr also looked at Bu Fang and smiled apologetically, indicating that she would not undertake his request.
âMother⌠it had been truly hard for the senior to rush over here from the Imperial City. Why not just make a plate of it? I also havenât had a taste of motherâs culinary skill for a long time.â Xiao Yu also helped in persuading.
âStep down. When the adults are talking, the kids should not interrupt,â Xiao Keyun swept a quick look at Xiao Yu and said nonchalantly.

Xiao Yuâs expression immediately stifled. He drooped his head once again. Fine, you are an adult, you goodâŚ
âOwner Bu, right? Iâm sorry, but because of her weak and frail body, itâs been a long time since my beloved wife cooked the Pan-Fried Pork Bun. Iâm truly very sorry about this. Sire should return. There are lots of other delicious delicacies in Southern City, not limited to Pan-Fried Pork Bun. Sire can go ahead and taste the other delicacies.â
Xiao Keyun said, ordering the guest to leave once again.
Bu Fang frowned and chose not to insist on it. Since she was not going to make it, then forget it.
Therefore, Bu Fang stood up and was intending to walk toward the exit when a beastâs howl reverberated throughout the entire Southern City once again. There was a loud ramming sound outside the city wall.
