Chapter 345 A Guest from Afar!
"This is Bodhi tea, and this is popcorn," Xiao Zhu said, bowing.
When she and Miss Xinglan were cooking, she also got a share of the food.
So, although she was just a lowly maidservant.
However, the food served at the city lord's mansion was a hundred times better than that served by the so-called city lords of these great cities.
Hearing this, Sotun became even more confused, because he had never heard of any of these things.
However, he still picked up a piece of popcorn and put it in his mouth to chew.
The next second, the sweetness and crispness exploded in your mouth, leaving you wanting more.
"Delicious!" Sotun only said two words.
Then, he grabbed a handful and stuffed them into his mouth.
The aroma is rich and the taste is complex, making you want to eat more and more!
Because he ate so quickly, Sotun suddenly became thirsty.
So he picked up the Bodhi tea cup next to him and drank it all in one gulp.
Feeling the rich energy within, Sotun couldn't help but squint his eyes comfortably.
He thought to himself, "Is this the idyllic life that the Lord of Dragon City lives every day?"
No wonder she still has the leisure to paint and create a room full of decorative art pieces.
If he could eat and drink so well every day, he would surely be able to create even more beautiful paintings.
Thinking of this, Sotun looked at the popcorn in front of the bald man and snatched it away.
"Lord City Lord... I haven't eaten yet!" the bald man said pitifully, his face full of grievance.
"Hmph! What do you mean by eating? All you ever do is eat!" Sotun snorted and ignored him.
He hadn't forgotten that this guy had just eaten his corn, and his mouth was covered in it.
"Bodhi tea? Popcorn?" Seeing his older brother enjoying the food with such relish, Batu immediately followed suit and started eating as well.
I don't know what this thing is made of.
It's like an addiction; once you've had one, you immediately grab the next.
Soon, the small dish of popcorn was empty.
Then... Batu followed his older brother's example and downed a cup of Bodhi tea in one gulp.
There's no way around it, that's just how these two brothers are; they always eat in big, boastful bites.
"Mmm, it smells so good!"
Unlike the Sotun brothers, the plant-based confidant clearly understood tea better. Upon smelling the tea leaves, he exclaimed in admiration, took a careful sip, and his eyes shone even brighter as he praised, "One sip, and the fragrance lingers on the lips and teeth! Truly excellent tea!"
The effects of this tea are surprisingly not much weaker than those of the luminous tree.
This Dragon City is a treasure trove!
"What is this made of? Why does it taste so good?" This was Batu's second time in this reception room, and with his older brother there, he wasn't too reserved. After finishing a small dish of popcorn, he asked curiously.
When he first came to the reception room, Xiao Yu didn't even give him a cup of tea, let alone popcorn.
After all, Batu's sudden appearance startled the white-haired catwoman.
This matter was also reported to Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu has always been protective of his own, so naturally he wanted to stand up for the white-haired catwoman.
"Yes! Are you willing to trade this?" Sotun released a hint of his power as he probed.
"Sir, this is made from corn. You can buy it in the commercial street." Xiao Zhu was stared at intently by these big shots, and feeling their powerful aura, he even had trouble breathing.
She remembered what the city lord had said: improving one's strength is extremely important.
The young maid vowed that from now on, not only would she do business, but improving her own strength would also be very important.
"A commercial street?"
Sotun recalled the street he had seen when he entered the city and felt somewhat tempted.
"I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting!" Just as the little maid was being questioned by everyone and her face was turning slightly pale, a loud voice rang out in the living room.
The pressure on the little maid suddenly disappeared the next second.
Suddenly, Xiao Yu found himself seated in the main seat.
Holding a cup of tea in her hand, she leisurely took a sip.
He seemed to regard the group of seventh and eighth-level powerhouses present as nothing at all.
Behind Xiao Yu stood three beast-eared girls dressed in earthen-yellow dragon armor.
"You are the Lord of Dragon City?"
Upon seeing Xiao Yu appear out of nowhere, everyone present stood up abruptly.
Several of his trusted confidants, including Bald Eyes, who were at the peak of the seventh rank, all trembled slightly in their legs.
Even the weakest of them were unsteady on their feet and could only hold onto the chair armrests with both hands.
Sotun, who was halfway to the ninth level, was also somewhat shocked.
at first.
Sotun was still secretly thinking to himself that he wanted to go to Dragon City to negotiate.
As a result, the city lord of Longcheng was willing to offend him to confiscate his weapons, which shows how cowardly he was.
Not to mention, Batu, the younger brother, said the other party was very young.
Sotun guessed that the Dragon City Lord's strength must not be very good.
But now he realizes he was wrong, terribly wrong.
Xiao Yu's ability to appear out of thin air was something he could never hope to match.
Not to mention, he appeared out of thin air with three other people with him!
With such amazing abilities, if the two of them were to fight, he definitely wouldn't be able to do anything to Xiao Yu.
But Xiao Yu could appear behind him instantly...
"I am the Lord of Dragon City!" Xiao Yu sat upright in the main seat, smiling and waving his hand, "I was delayed for a while. You are all guests who have come from afar, so there is no need to be so polite. Please sit down."
Upon hearing this, Sotun and the others twitched at the corners of their mouths.
What the hell is this "guests from afar are welcome" nonsense!
Isn't this the kind of thing we should be saying?
Don't forget, this is our city of ruins!
But at this moment, everyone was shocked by Xiao Yu's unpredictable appearance and had no time to refute him.
"Hehe! Lord of Dragon City, we meet again!" Upon seeing Xiao Yu, Batu immediately nodded and bowed, revealing an embarrassed expression, which made Sotun roll his eyes.
"This is my elder brother, the East City Lord of the City of Ruins, and also a half-step ninth-level expert, Sotun!"
"Nice to meet you!" Xiao Yu nodded with a faint smile, looking at the group.
"Lord of Dragon City, may I ask what brings you to the City of Ruins from so far away?" Sotun was an impatient man, and as soon as he confirmed Xiao Yu's identity, he went straight to the point.
However, all three beast-eared girls saw it.
When this half-step ninth-level expert spoke, he first took a deep breath and puffed out his chest.
Clearly, the pressure from the city lord was making him feel suffocated.
Xiao Yu naturally took everything in. A smile flashed in his eyes as he casually shrugged and said, "This city lord was invited by a friend to come here for a transaction."
"Friends?" Upon hearing this, Sotun and several of his confidants exchanged glances, their hearts sinking.
"Then, who is this friend you're referring to...?"
"Xue Donglai, the young city lord of the City of Ruins!" Xiao Yu said without any hesitation before Sotun could finish speaking.
"As expected!" Sotun's heart sank again.
If Xiao Yu and Xue Donglai are truly friends, then once they side with the Xue family...
So his plan to seize power...
"Lord of Dragon City! You said back then..."
Hearing their conversation, Batu became anxious and quickly said, "As long as we trade with you, we're friends. You won't help the Xue family then, does that still count?"
Upon hearing this, Sotun and several of his confidants looked at Xiao Yu with anticipation.
Previously, they might not have thought Xiao Yu was that strong.
However, Xiao Yu and the three women appeared out of nowhere just now, which shocked them all.
Such a super strong person is no match for even Sotun.
If they side with the Xue family, it will be an absolute disaster for the Dongcheng faction!
"Of course, anyone who trades with me is my friend! I always keep my word and never lie to my friends! However..."
