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

Chapter 53 Beat up Lin Dong

Bai Hu Yaoyao stood in front of him, tilting her head and smiling in a way that was incredibly irritating. "Lin Dong, back then when you conspired with the Ma family to frame my father, did you ever imagine that this day would come?"

With lightning speed, Bai Hu Yaoyao grabbed Lin Dong by the neck, a bloodthirsty smile on her lips.

"Don't think I don't know what you're up to! My man can only be mine, so your good daughter should give up!"

"Lin Dong! I know you have powerful backers, but how long do you think your concubine's half-sister can hold out?"

The prefect of Yunzhou Prefecture was not a good person.

The prefect knew perfectly well that his second son was a scoundrel who took pleasure in torturing women, yet he still indulged his son in doing whatever he pleased.

The prefect himself was a lecherous scoundrel who treated his women just as badly as he treated his son.

It is said that the prefect's arch-enemy intends to replace him and become the new prefect.

If she were to collaborate with that person to ensure the people of Yunzhou City could access affordable food, wouldn't that person then eliminate the prefect completely?

Once the prefect dies, Lin Dong will lose his powerful backer.

Lin Dong was being choked and couldn't say a word; he could only stare wide-eyed in terror.

The white fox Yaoyao's eyes were so deep and unfathomable that they filled him with increasing fear.

He somewhat regretted listening to Madam Ma and her daughter's instigation and provoking this wicked woman.

Bang!
Lin Dong was slammed to the ground, clutching his neck and gasping for breath.

"You, you're not Lu Yaoyao?"

The Lu Yaoyao of the past was so weak that she would collapse at the slightest touch or break at the slightest squeeze, that no one had any interest in bullying her.

This woman was different; he felt that she had really wanted to kill him.

Bai Hu Yaoyao wiped her hands and casually threw the handkerchief on the ground. "I am indeed not the Lu Yaoyao of the past. I stopped using the surname Lu after my father died. I am now Bai Hu Yaoyao. Lin Dong, you had better warn your family not to mess with me, otherwise, you won't be so lucky next time."

As the white fox Yaoyao passed by Lin Dong, a thin black thread shot out from her hand and entered his mind.

This is the art of words in the Five Elements theory.

She wanted to make Lin Dong have nightmares every night, to make him suffer a fate worse than death in terror.

The Word Magic would also make Lin Dong's temperament increasingly irritable, causing him to only vent his anger by hitting and cursing others.

The Ma family will definitely be the first to suffer.

Let them torture each other!
She had no concrete evidence as to how he conspired with Ma to harm her father back then.

This is the only way I can avenge my father.

Bai Hu Yaoyao went directly to Qibaozhai. Manager Chen had already arranged for someone to pack everything up, except for her things.

In order to make Qibaozhai famous in one go, the first auction must be a big event.

"Miss, the publicity for Qibaozhai has spread far and wide as you instructed, and I've heard that many people are starting to flock to Peach Blossom Town."

"For the safety of Qibaozhai, the eldest young master sent his private guards over. This is Shadow, the leader of the eldest young master's private guards. From now on, we can entrust the safety of Qibaozhai to him with peace of mind."

Manager Chen introduced the man in black standing to the side.

Shadow couldn't help but scrutinize the beautiful woman before him. Was this the young master's long-lost younger sister?
Shadow frowned involuntarily.

How could a country bumpkin be the eldest son's sister?

What will happen to Miss Yanran if she goes back?
"Greetings, Miss," Shadow said reluctantly.

Some things were done perfunctorily.

In his heart, Miss Yanran was the eldest young master's only sister.

I wonder what the eldest son is thinking?

After searching for so many years, you've finally found a country girl. Aren't you afraid of bringing shame to the Sheng family by bringing her back to the capital?
Manager Chen's expression changed slightly. What was this shadowy figure all about?

What kind of attitude is this towards the young lady?

"Shadow!" Manager Chen couldn't help but remind him.

White Fox Yaoyao raised an eyebrow. Was this shadowy figure not convinced by her?
Perfect, she doesn't need someone like that in the way anyway.

"Uncle Chen, since this leader doesn't want to stay here, let's send him back! And tell Shengshi that I can't afford to use his men!"

As for those qualified to guard this place, I have my own plans!
Go and issue a notice recruiting top martial arts masters. Anyone who can pass my test can come and protect my territory! Two hundred taels of silver per month, food and lodging included, plus a century-old ginseng.

This time she was really angry.

Does she really think everyone has to step on her face?

She has plenty of good stuff; why would she be afraid of not finding experts to help her manage the place?
Who do these people think they are!
She heard that the masters of the martial arts world, despite their great skills, could not even buy food.

In addition, people in the martial arts world are easily injured. A hundred-year-old ginseng is nothing to her, but it is a life-saving treasure for martial arts practitioners.

She refused to believe that with such a generous offer, no one would come.
Shadow couldn't help but sneer, "Miss, you should have some limits when you're talking big. Even the Marquis's mansion wouldn't dare to make such a demand as you're offering."

Although the Marquis of Wen'an's mansion was not a first-rank marquis's mansion, it was still considered a wealthy family in the capital.

Even wealthy families wouldn't dare to offer a guard two hundred taels of silver per month.

What's more, it also comes with a century-old ginseng.

Does she know how much a century-old ginseng is worth?
Does she know what a century-old ginseng looks like?
There were only three century-old ginseng roots in the Marquis's mansion, and the old lady of the mansion regarded them as her own eyes.

She immediately started talking about one ginseng root per person per month. Did she think ginseng was like cabbage, something readily available everywhere?
The white fox Yaoyao looked at him and couldn't blame him for being ignorant. A frog at the bottom of a well can only see such a small area, so of course it can't see that the sky is boundless.

"The Marquis's mansion doesn't dare to speak up because they lack the ability. Anyway, you won't be enjoying this treatment, so take your men and get out!"

"You?" Shadow clenched his fist.

He glanced at his own men. He had no intention of staying this time, so he brought four people who had just joined the private guard.

Shadow was certain they would obey his orders. "Since Miss doesn't need us anymore, let's go!"

The four remained motionless. They exchanged a glance, then knelt before Bai Hu Yaoyao, saying, "Please accept us, Miss! We swear to serve you to the death."

"Are you rebelling?" Shadow asked angrily.

“We call you leader, and you actually think you’re the leader? We’re just following the young master’s orders to protect the young lady.”

"That's right! We know what your ulterior motives are."

"I think you should think about how you're going to explain this to the eldest young master when you get back!"

When they first arrived at the private guard camp, the leader secretly disliked them, and that Miss Yanran looked down on them in every way.

When they arrived, they knew that the leader had ulterior motives and didn't like the young lady who had just been found.

Looking at her today, this young lady who was just found is much better than that adopted daughter.

The leader secretly likes the adopted daughter, yet he belittles the real young lady. Isn't that disrespecting the eldest son?

I really don't know if the leader is shrewd or stupid; he can't figure out who the real master is.

Shadow's face darkened, his fist clenching and unclenching. "Fine! You're all doing very well! You'd better not go back to the private guard camp."

Bai Hu Yaoyao looked at the remaining few people; their acupoints were covered with faint black energy, a hidden danger left over from years of martial arts practice.

"What are your names?"

Since they wanted to stay, she decided to go out and find someone else.

"Please give me a name, Master!"

The four people knelt on one knee.

"Have you thought it through? Will you follow me from now on? As for Shengshi, I'll talk to him about it."

Regardless, these people are from a prosperous era, and since they're following her, she should at least inform him.

She's practically stolen the spotlight from the prosperous era.

"We all obey our master."

The white fox Yaoyao looked at the four people. They were all young and each had their own unique characteristics.

"From now on, you will be the guards of Qibaozhai for a hundred springs, a hundred summers, a hundred autumns, and a hundred winters. You will receive the same monthly salary as I mentioned earlier."

Bai Hu Yaoyao then looked at Manager Chen and said, "Uncle Chen, you can go with them to my place later and take the sorted treasures to the Qibaozhai storeroom. We'll be opening in a few days."

Manager Chen: "Yes! I'll take them there in a bit."

"There are too few guards here. Uncle Chen, just continue recruiting guards as I suggested! I'll come and help with the selection process later."

"The four of them are experienced in selecting people, so let them keep an eye out for good prospects."

Most people in the martial arts world have their own tempers and hidden injuries that no one knows about. She might be able to see that here.

"Yes!" Manager Chen replied.

"Yes, Miss!" Bai Chun and the other three clasped their hands in response.

Bai Hu Yaoyao wandered around Qibaozhai again, noticing that there were still quite a few hidden dangers. She decided to ask Mingyuan if there were any defensive items available.

Otherwise, no matter how many guards Qibaozhai has, it won't be of any use.

When Baihu Yaoyao returned to the restaurant, she unexpectedly saw Wang Da Niang's daughter at the entrance.

"Sister Dali? Why did you suddenly come back?"

Wang Dali is Wang Da Niang's daughter. When she first came to town with her father, Wang Dali took good care of her.

Because she was tall and burly, not good-looking, and very strong, no one wanted to marry her, so she married into a nearby village and became someone's second wife.

Why do I feel so bad now that I'm back?

Wang Dali looked at the white fox Yaoyao and it took him a long time to recognize who she was.

"Yaoyao? Oh my! Yaoyao has grown so beautiful? What have you been doing?"

Wang Dali also has a loud voice; when he speaks, it's deafening.

Bai Hu Yaoyao laughed, "I went out for a while. Sister Dali, why did you suddenly come back? We haven't seen each other in a long time, have we? It's cold outside, come and sit at my place."

"Great! I have so much to tell you! Let's go!"

Wang Dali went to her brother's meat stall, picked up a piece of meat, and went to the restaurant.

"Yaoyao, I brought you some meat. I'll cook you something delicious today, and we can have a good chat."

He then took the meat and went to the kitchen.

Bai Hu Yaoyao followed them to the kitchen, and the two chatted and laughed as they started cooking.

After preparing a table full of dishes, the two sat facing each other, and Wang Dali poured himself a glass of wine.

He drank his sorrows away, one sip after another.

"Sister Dali, is something on your mind?"

Sister Dali has always been a straightforward person, but now she looks so worried, she must have encountered some difficulties.

“Oh! Don’t say anymore! My useless husband died a few days ago! That family couldn’t stand me. Now I’ve left that family and come back home to see that my brother still doesn’t have a wife. It makes me sad. If I stay at home for too long, I’m afraid I’ll only make it harder for my brother to find a wife.”

“I’m thinking about whether I should go out and find a job? I’m strong, I can do any kind of work.”

"Yaoyao, do you know? My kung fu is not bad. My master is the old man known in the martial arts world as Ghost Claw."

Wang Dali seemed to have drunk too much, and his speech became somewhat slurred.
