Original God: Start with Qiuqiu, become stronger with food and beauties

Bao'er and her brothers were severely injured after their encounter with King Hao, and they couldn't walk very far. Now, most of the group was starving, their injuries worsening, and their situation was critical. Bao'er panted, "What should we do? My brothers are all injured. Even with you, we can't move so many people."

Second Brother looked at the towering buildings in the distance and had some thoughts in his mind: "Big Sister, I'm going to do one last job. In this situation, I have no choice but to do it."

Baoer asked worriedly, "What if that person is still watching?"

"Second brother" answered helplessly: "There's nothing we can do about it. We can't let our brothers starve to death. We'll just find a chance to return them later." After saying that, he picked up his long knife and walked towards the inn built on the tree.

"Wangshu Inn..." The second brother climbed up the stairs and came to the lobby of Wangshu Inn.

A bearded uncle saw him and asked enthusiastically, "Hello, hello, I am Huai'an, the owner of Wangshu Inn. Do you want to eat or stay at the hotel?"

There was no emotion on the face of "Second Brother". He said indifferently: "I came here just to borrow some money from the shopkeeper." After saying this, the knife in his hand was already against the neck of the shopkeeper Huaian.

The shopkeeper Huaian did not say a word, and the atmosphere in the store suddenly became extremely solemn, as if time had stopped.

However, "Second Brother" is unaware of the inn's background and the true identity of its owner, Huaian. The inn is actually run by an immortal, the renowned Great Sage who conquers demons, and Huaian, the owner, is no ordinary person.

"Alas... this is not the way to borrow money, young man." Huai'an used his fingers to break the knife that "Second Brother" had placed on his neck.

“What?!” (=°Д°=) “Second Brother” saw that the boss seemed to have extraordinary skills, so he wanted to slip away, but he thought too much. It would be good if he could escape if he went to someone else’s territory to make trouble, or go to the place of masters to find trouble.

"Since you're here, why not stay for a while?" Huaian picked up a folding fan and blocked his way. His face was calm and he didn't seem to be angry at all, but a majestic temperament emanated from him perfectly.

"Second Brother" suddenly felt the pressure mount, and he quickly knelt down and kowtowed, begging for mercy: "Please spare my life! I was wrong, shopkeeper, please have mercy. I had no choice but to do this. My brothers are seriously injured and cannot be treated any longer. I just want some money to save their lives."

"You have healthy hands and feet, and strong blood. It should be easy for you to find a job to make a living. It's a pity that you are willing to be a bandit. The inn's kitchen is still short of a chef. Why don't you take this job?" Huai'an paced around the "second brother" and yelled, then picked him up and threw him into the kitchen.

"The recipe is on the shelf. Figure it out yourself. Your performance determines everything." Huaian's voice echoed in the kitchen.

"What the hell..." "Second brother" was thinking in the kitchen about how to sneak out. Every time he was just one step away he was bounced back. Helplessly, he had to cook honestly.

……

"Well done, you will be the head chef of Wangshu Inn from now on." Huaian patted his shoulder.

"The head chef..."

……

"It seems that the second brother is doing it... Big sister, we have almost recovered." The other strong men said happily.

"But it's been so long, why haven't we seen him?" someone asked.

Another person was also confused: "Yeah, every time the things are delivered by that fisherman, and he doesn't say a word when we talk to him. It's very strange."

“…” Everyone looked towards the inn in silence.

Baoer put her hands on her hips and said, "Don't worry about it... Also, I have an announcement. Let's call it a day. It's time to disband. From now on, everyone should find some serious work and live a stable life."

"Then forget about the ruins we explored halfway. Whoever wants it can take it. If you don't have the life, you can't get the windfall. If we don't have the life, there's no need to fight for it." Baoer shook his head and turned to leave.

"So what are we going to do?"

"I recently heard some news that the Qianyan Army is recruiting soldiers. Maybe I can try my luck and eat military food in the future. If I get the chance, I can make great contributions and get a promotion."

"Or work as a cook at the docks or help out in a restaurant."

……

"What's past is past. It's not bad to be a head chef here." "Second brother" stood by the guardrail and whispered to the brothers who were gathered there in the distance.

"Yanxiao, guests have arrived, it's time to serve the dishes!" The shopkeeper's voice sounded.

"Okay, right away!" He took one last look at his brothers and left the corridor.

……

Yan Xiao sighed by the river: "Alas..."

A fisherman glanced at him and said, "Next time I catch a fish, I'll give it to the shopkeeper."

Yan Xiao said with a sour face: "That's not what I'm worried about. Besides, when have you ever caught a fish? You eat for free every day, and you stand with a fishing rod all day long. I don't understand why the shopkeeper is so tolerant of you."

He rubbed his temples: "It would be better if I had never met them."

Fisherman: “It should be possible.”

Yan Xiao: "Do you know what I'm thinking? You just concluded that."

Fisherman: "A group of men and a beautiful woman."

"Yeah...that's not right, bah bah bah! What beautiful woman?" Yan Xiao nodded in agreement, then suddenly woke up.

"Ah? Isn't she pretty?"

Yan Xiao turned his face away: "What does it have to do with me? I just hope that I will have nothing to do with them anymore, so that I can focus on the path of eating."

"Well, here is a wish-fulfilling talisman. Put it under your pillow when you sleep tonight. Maybe your wish will come true." The fisherman took out a piece of yellow talisman paper.

"I can't catch any fish, but I find a lot of strange things..." Yan Xiao didn't hesitate and took the talisman and left.

"Sir, you have been watching for a long time, but is there anything important?" said the fisherman, looking at the fishing rod.

King Hao appeared at this time and said: "As expected of the True Lord of Willing to Take the Bait, you didn't catch any fish but you hooked me out."

Fisherman: "You can choose not to come out, just like fish won't bite an unbaited hook."

"Nice to meet you, my humble name is Jiang Xue."

"King Hao."

"Are you sure? I remember your name is quite long, it seems to be..."

"No need for that. A name is certainly more elegant when spoken from one's own mouth. Let's get back to the point. I came here to ask you for advice, Senior."

"Just kidding, I'm not qualified to be called a senior yet. I just have a little understanding of the world."

"Then I want to ask, am I a monster? Or an immortal?"

"Whether it is a fairy or a demon depends on a single thought."

"..." After hearing this, King Hao continued to look at him. After a while, he asked uncertainly, "Is that all?"

"Follow your heart and feel the world, and the answers will come naturally." Jiang Xue picked up a fish.
