Wu Li's face was flushed, his eyes wide open, and he glared angrily at his arrogant younger brother.

His large, flabby body trembled with rage as he yelled at the top of his lungs, "Enough! Are we brothers such sore losers?"

Wu De tightly covered his burning, aching face with his right hand, his eyes filled with disbelief!

After a long pause, his lips trembled, and his voice was tinged with grievance, "Big...Big Brother?"

Wu Li's thick, fleshy hand suddenly reached forward and grabbed Wu De's shirt. "I'll say it one last time, a loss is a loss! Even if we brothers lose, we'll lose openly and honestly."

"Losing to a little girl is bad enough, but trying to use despicable means to cheat is even more despicable!"

Wu Li kept rambling on, clearly angered by Wu De's words, "If you dare to say such nonsense again... I will definitely not let you off easily."

Standing to the side, Wu Ren was clearly taken aback by his elder brother's anger and was momentarily stunned.

However, he quickly realized what was happening and shouted at Wu De in a deep voice, "Third brother, shut up! Stop talking nonsense. Do you really think she's easy to deal with?"

"If it were really that simple, why would we brothers be in this state now!"

Wu De lowered his head and remained silent. He hadn't expected his suggestion to provoke such strong opposition and rebuke from his two elder brothers.

Only then did he realize the seriousness of the problem and hurriedly nodded.

Wu Li loosened his grip, releasing Wu De, and gazed in the direction the girl had gone.

I couldn't help but sigh...

He felt that this girl was not as simple as she seemed on the surface, and perhaps one day they would not regret their decision today.

Tong Guang strolled alone along Guyuan Street, looking around with great curiosity at the dazzling array of trinkets on the street.

Before long, we arrived at Qiu Ting's pastry stall.

From afar, Qiu Ting spotted Tong Guang at a glance and immediately greeted her warmly, "Girl, come here quickly! Try the new flavor of pastries I just made. Come and tell me how they taste!"

"Alright!" Tong Guang flew over like a cheerful bird.

She rushed to the pastry stall, her eyes immediately drawn to the neatly arranged pastries on the tray.

Each of the round, plump pastries looks rather ordinary, just a simple round cake.

Tong Guang didn't stand on ceremony and casually picked up a piece of pastry, which was still warm to the touch.

Take a small bite, and you'll find layers of golden-brown flaky pastry encasing a savory and delicious filling. The unique salty and savory flavor immediately fills your mouth, completely different from any sweet pastry you've ever had—it's both novel and delicious.

Tong Guang's eyes lit up immediately, and he took another big bite.

Seeing the girl enjoying her meal so much, Qiu Ting asked with a smile, "How is it? Isn't it delicious?"

"Mmm! It's super delicious!" Tong Guang mumbled as he ate.

Suddenly remembering something, Qiu Ting quickly pulled the girl over and looked her up and down, her eyes full of concern: "Girl, have all your injuries from before healed? Don't let them leave you with any lasting health problems!"

Feeling the other person's concern, she felt a warmth in her heart. "Aunt Qiu, don't worry, my injuries have completely healed! There's not even a scar left!" As she spoke, she turned around to show Qiu Ting her healthy and energetic figure.

Since the end of the betting match, Tong Guang has become somewhat famous. A previously unknown but beautiful young girl has crushed the well-known Wu brothers.

It immediately became the talk of the town, and as the story spread, Qiu Ting naturally found out about it too.

"Boss, how much are these pastries?"

Just as the two were talking, a clear, melodious voice suddenly rang out.

Tong Guang immediately turned his head away, slightly taken aback.

The man was tall and slender, dressed in a long, snow-white robe that enveloped his slightly thin frame. His long, silvery-white hair cascaded down to his waist like a waterfall, glistening and sparkling like a dewdrop in the sunlight.

He exuded an ethereal and otherworldly aura, like the misty fog that permeates the mountains at dawn, making him elusive yet alluring.

"Sir, please try it first. If you like it, you can buy it later!" Tong Guang was still in a daze when Qiu Ting, who was beside him, greeted him with a big smile and great enthusiasm.

When Tong Guang finally came to his senses, his gaze involuntarily fell on that person again.

Instead of choosing the most convenient and popular mobile payment method, that person used another payment method—the currency used by both humans and demons: demon gold!

Actually, Tong Guang didn't think there was anything particularly strange or abnormal about using demon gold. It's just that in this era of rapid technological development, most people would choose the more convenient mobile payment! Therefore, she was a little stunned.

However, although mobile payment is indeed extremely convenient and fast, there are still people who insist on using traditional payment methods for various reasons.

When she first arrived in this other world, she wasn't used to using mobile payments.

As time went by, she gradually adapted to and integrated into this new world, and began to conform to the unique development model and trends of this society.

Qiu Ting clearly hadn't expected this person to pay with demon gold, and her expression immediately turned somewhat troubled. She hadn't received demon gold in a long time! She simply didn't have the change.

The man seemed to sense Qiu Ting's predicament and said calmly, "Boss, just pack up the rest for me! Keep the change."

Qiu Ting responded gratefully, but also felt a little embarrassed.

"Miss, do you mind if I sit here?" Tong Guang was in a daze when the white-haired man walked over with a tray and sat down directly opposite her.

Tong Guang was speechless. It felt like this person wasn't asking her a question, but rather informing her.

However, she was too lazy to argue with this person.

The white-haired man clearly didn't care what others thought, and sat down to enjoy his food.

A moment later, he looked up at the girl opposite him.

"Miss, could you please buy me two bottles of water?"

Tongwang "..."

What's going on? Does this guy really think she's just a gofer?

Before she could speak, the man had already placed two demon gold coins on the table.

"Thanks!"

Tong Guang paused for a moment, then took the demon gold and walked toward the water stall not far away.

Forget it, since this person is Aunt Qiu's customer, I won't argue with him. It's just buying a bottle of water, it's not a big deal!

The white-haired man was elegantly enjoying his pastries when suddenly, a loud "bang" was heard.

A large case of water was placed heavily on the table in front of him, instantly blocking his view completely.

"Here, your water." Tong Guang grumbled irritably, then threw the remaining demon gold in front of him with a "thud".

There's nothing I can do; the shopkeeper simply can't give me change for a bottle of water when I try to buy it with demon gold.

Even this whole box of water is far less than that one piece of demon gold. Tong Guang made the decision directly, and with a wave of his hand, said, "No need to look anymore!"

I carried back a case of water amidst the boss's grateful gaze...

Look how generous this person is...

No matter what little gadgets they buy, they always end up spending a fortune.

I thought to myself, this person must be a wealthy man from some aristocratic family...

Seeing this, the white-haired man smiled slightly, a hint of mockery flashing across his face, and slowly stood up: "Since you've already bought it, you can have this water, young lady. No need to thank me."

After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Stop!"

Tong Guang's delicate eyebrows shot up, and she shouted angrily, "This person made me buy water, and I bought it and then didn't drink it! Isn't this just teasing me?"

hateful!

Who should thank him?

The white-haired man paused slightly, but did not turn around.

"Don't worry, young lady, we... will meet again!"

His clear voice echoed in the air, revealing no emotion in his tone.

Tong Guang immediately wanted to chase after her to demand an explanation, but Qiu Ting grabbed him.

"Alright, alright, little girl! This person is probably just a bit eccentric!"

With a cold snort, Tong Guang finally gave up! Otherwise, she would definitely have chased after him and given him a good argument.
