"Are you free? If you are, let's have a meal together to celebrate our move to the new house!"
"I'm free, and it's almost dinner time anyway. Let's go." Xu Mo immediately agreed.
He was actually a bit hungry, and eating alone was no fun. Having four beautiful ladies to accompany him for dinner... that was quite nice!
"Hehe..." An Youyi chuckled and then got into the car after opening the door.
Zhou Qiaoqiao, Yang Jingxuan, and Li Jiaxin followed suit and got into the car as well.
Xu Mo made a U-turn and drove the car out of the villa area.
"Where should we eat?" Xu Mo asked.
"Anything is fine with us."
"Barbecue?"
"Hmm... too greasy."
"Hot pot?"
"It's so hot, eating hot pot might cause a heat rash."
"Japanese food?"
"Not in the mood."
Xu Mo: "……"
This is not okay, that is not okay, so what exactly is "anything"?
"So what exactly do you want to eat?" Xu Mo asked patiently again.
The four of them replied in unison, "Anything, you decide."
Xu Mo: "???"
Heh, women.
If he kept asking like this, these four ladies might reject every type of food.
So, Xu Mo decided not to ask anymore and drove the four of them to a rice noodle shop he often visited in the past.
It had been a long time since he last ate there, and he really missed it.
...
Half an hour later, Xu Mo arrived at the destination.
Before getting out of the car, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
The usually quiet street was now packed with people.
A closer look revealed that these people were all queuing up to buy something.
Xu Mo glanced at the source of the queue, which was a barbecue stand.
The line of people waiting to buy barbecue stretched from one end of the street to the other.
"So many people queuing... the owner must be really good at his craft," Xu Mo exclaimed in surprise.
Then, he turned to the four in the car and said, "Let's get out. I'll take you to slurp some noodles. This place is really good; I used to come here often."
As soon as he opened the car door, the aroma of barbecue hit him.
Even Xu Mo, who didn't usually eat barbecue, couldn't help but salivate and suddenly felt an urge to try the barbecue.
"Slurping noodles?" Zhou Qiaoqiao got out of the car, looked at the crowd queuing up, and then at Xu Mo, "How about barbecue? So many people are queuing; this barbecue must be really good!"
An Youyi took a deep breath of the aroma from the barbecue stand and looked at Xu Mo excitedly.
"It smells so good, let's have barbecue, Xu Mo!"
Yang Jingxuan and Li Jiaxin also nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, barbecue! This barbecue smells too good!"
To be honest, Xu Mo also wanted to try the barbecue because it smelled so good.
He was even more curious about what magic this barbecue had to attract so many people to buy it.
But the problem was, the queue for the barbecue was too long.
By the time they got to the front, they might be starving...
Xu Mo shook his head, "Forget it, there are too many people, and we don't know when we'll get to eat."
Upon hearing this and seeing the long queue, the four of them also gave up on the idea of having barbecue.
The line was indeed too long.
And barbecue, with its relatively long preparation time, meant they had no idea when they would actually get to eat if they joined the queue now.
Better to just go with Xu Mo and slurp some noodles.
...
At the rice noodle shop.
As soon as Xu Mo and the others entered, they attracted the attention of everyone inside.
Of course... they weren't looking at Xu Mo. After all, Xu Mo, as a man, wasn't particularly interesting to look at even if he was handsome.
What everyone was looking at were the four girls who entered with Xu Mo.
This didn't seem like a place they should be, right?
It's not uncommon to see beautiful women taken to fancy restaurants.
But seeing beautiful women taken out to slurp noodles in such a small shop was a first, especially when one man brought four girls with him!
Xu Mo was immediately engulfed by envious and jealous stares.
Zhou Qiaoqiao also noticed this and, not one to shy away from a spectacle, she deliberately wrapped her arm around Xu Mo's and acted very intimately.
She smiled and whispered in Xu Mo's ear, "Xu Mo, bringing us four out with you, does it make you feel very proud?"
"Yes, thank you very much," Xu Mo replied, then looked at the shop owner, "Boss, one beef noodle."
He was too lazy to think about anything else and just wanted to slurp some noodles.
After placing the order, Xu Mo looked at the four girls, "Order whatever you want to eat."
Whether it made him feel proud or not, Xu Mo didn't know.
But he was sure that everyone in the shop probably thought he was a very wealthy man...
"I'll have beef noodles too."
"Same, beef noodles."
"Then I'll have that too."
"All beef noodles? Then I'll have that too."
"Alright, five beef noodles, please wait a moment, they'll be right up," the shop owner, who was busy, looked up and replied.
He recognized Xu Mo as a regular customer who often came to his shop for noodles.
In his impression, Xu Mo was a struggling office worker, a poor guy.
But now... Xu Mo didn't seem like a poor guy anymore. In fact, he seemed a bit wealthy!
Although his clothes and demeanor hadn't changed, and he wasn't wearing any gold or silver, the four girls around Xu Mo made him look quite affluent...
It was unclear what Xu Mo had done recently to get rich.
...
Soon, five bowls of noodles were served one after another.
Taking advantage of the break before new customers arrived,
the shop owner came over to Xu Mo.
"Bro, you haven't been around for a while."
Xu Mo nodded.
"Yeah, I was busy with something recently."
This shop was one he frequented, and over time, he got to know the shop owner, and they occasionally chatted.
Upon hearing this, the shop owner thought he was right; Xu Mo must have gotten rich!
So he continued to ask,
"Been busy recently? Did you find some way to make money? Can you share it with me, brother?"
Xu Mo slurped a mouthful of noodles and looked up at the shop owner, "Extortion, bank robbery."
Xu Mo wasn't lying; his words were completely truthful.
After all, some of his money really did come from extortion and bank robbery!
The shop owner: "……"
Extortion? Bank robbery?
Are those legitimate ways to make money!?
If you don't want to say, then don't, but why lie?
At that moment, the crowd outside the street suddenly stirred.
A few people, in their eagerness to buy barbecue, started fighting!
Even picking up bricks from the ground, ready to fight to the death.
Xu Mo was dumbfounded.
"Is it really worth it for some barbecue? Why are they even using bricks?"
The shop owner laughed and shook his head.
"Why not? There have been countless fights this month over queuing for barbecue, and ambulances have been called numerous times. No one knows what the secret recipe of this barbecue stand is, but there's always a crowd queuing up. How much money do they make in a day..."
"Fights every day?" Xu Mo frowned, feeling that something was off.
What kind of barbecue could be so delicious that people fight over it every day?
The aroma of barbecue drifted into the shop, and Xu Mo sniffed it.
In the aroma that wafted in, there seemed to be a peculiar scent mixed in...
ey change clothes. Li Chuan contributed all his possessions, only to find that things were not as they seemed. Almost a year after joining, he hadn’t managed to get a single Daoist consort. Thinking he had been deceived, he was approached by a stunning senior fellow disciple who asked if he would like to form a spiritual bond. For those who don’t practice cultivation, they might not know what “forming a spiritual bond” is. Let me put it this way: A long-term relationship is called a “Daoist consort,” while a short-term relationship is known as “forming a spiritual bond.” From then on, Li Chuan discovered the true way to interact with the Yin-Yang Sect’s Daoist consorts. As long as he had enough spirit stones, he could form a spiritual bond with anyone, Whether it’s Senior Sisters, aunts, Daoist consorts of aunts, female elders, Daoist consorts of elders, or even the Daoist consort of the sect leader, anyone can form a spiritual bond as long as there are enough spirit stones.” I've already joined the Yin-Yang Sect, and you're telling me to focus on cultivation? Do you even know what the Yin-Yang Sect is all about?
