Chapter 17

When Feng Zhijiu and Xie Yuya walked in front of the Brilliant Palace, they saw that the inside and outside of the shop were crowded with disciples of all sects. Her face looked troubled when she saw the situation there. Xie Yuya glanced at her, glanced at the noisy situation in front of them, and frowned.

"Jiu'er, do you want to go in?"

"Um. I'm going to collect something from Manager Xu." She replied with a frown on her beautiful face. She lowered her eyes, her eyelashes covering her eyes hiding her emotions. He didn't want to see her look troubled.

"Then your husband will open the way for Jiu'er."

After speaking, the aura on his body released a little bit. People within a radius of twenty miles felt the pressure like a mountain and knelt down one after another. Some people with low cultivation level even fainted or coughed out a mouthful of blood.

Everyone: 'What's wrong?! The Devil Venerable is coming?!'

Feng Zhijiu: !!!

Xie Yuya smiled at her and walked in the store with her. When they passed by, everyone's eyes were about to pop out.

Everyone: 'Who are they? Their aura was terrifying.'

She took his hand, clasped it with hers, and tiptoed to his ear. She whispered: "Yuya, this is... you're doing?"

"Um. Is there any problem?" He tilted his head, his eyes full of confusion. She could only watch his reaction, dumbfounded. She looked around and saw that many people had collapsed to the ground, and some people with higher cultivation were pale and sweaty.

'This guy...'

"Can you stop it now? I'm fine."

"Um." Immediately, his aura was withdrawn, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly pulled him in to find Manager Xu. On the way, she took off their masks and stored them in her space.

When they arrived in the front store, she saw Manager Xu rushing out with a messy face. He was pale and breathless.

"Manager Xu." She called him, and he looked surprised to see her here.

"Miss Su! You're finally here!" He greeted her while wiping his sweat with a handkerchief. His face looked distressed, his eyes fixed on the store front.

"I'm really sorry, Miss Su. Now this old man has an urgent matter to deal with at the front shop. I'll ask my apprentice to take you two inside first. Please wait while you drink tea." He bowed to them politely, then quickly turned around. She guessed what he needed to do, and hurriedly stopped it.

"Wait, Manager Xu."

Manager Xu looked back at her and asked, "Yes, Miss Su?"

With an apologetic look on her face, she said softly, "Manager Xu doesn't have to go now. This matter... has been resolved."

When Manager Xu heard her words, a look of shock appeared on his face and he looked at the handsome man beside her. At that moment, he suddenly realized.

Manager Xu: This gentleman is not simple. He completely concealed his aura and his body excudes terrifying qi. The strength of this gentleman cannot be measured. Can't be offended! "

His face suddenly became solemn, and he bowed to them again. This time, with a bow that someone offers to a supreme ruler.

"Then, ask the two distinguished guests to follow this old man in." He motioned them to go first, and then guided them in with his slightly bent waist.

'Huh? Why was he suddenly so polite?'

She glanced at the man walking beside her, and he looked back at her with questions in his deep eyes.

"... Nothing."

He smiles at her and they follow Manager Xu in silence.

Inside the main reception room

"Please take a seat." Manager Xu motioned them to sit next to the main seat, and said, "This old man will go and fetch the profit from Miss Su's auction. Please enjoy the tea."

Then he bowed and walked in quickly. Feng Zhijiu took back the hand that was still intertwined with Xie Yuya, and took a piece of light pink glutinous rice cake. She bit it and her eyes became crescent moons.

"Delicious." She took another bite before drinking tea, enjoying all the pastries. Xie Yuya looked at his empty hand, and then saw that she was having a good time, he could only smile slightly and sighed. He picked up the teacup and took a sip. His brows were furrowed so hard that they could crush a mosquito to death.

She looked at his face and smiled happily. He put down the teacup, pushed it away, and looked at Her. She likes to eat snacks and tea, just like eating and drinking the delicacy in her old world. He couldn't help frowning.

"Jiu'er, this tea is really bad. The pastries are not good either. There is no spiritual qi in them. Don't eat them anymore."

"Um? It's delicious. Try it." She brought the half-bite green glutinous rice cake to his lips, staring at him.

"Try it," She said encouragingly.

He could only bite the bullet and hesitantly took a bite. The place he had bitten was the place she had bitten before. After biting down, he showed a surprised expression.

'Huh? Can I taste Jiu'er's aura?'

He looked at the cake in her hand, realized they were eating the same cake, and gave a slight smirk. "My wife, just now... did you feed me the cake you just bit?"

She was taken aback for a moment and looking at the cake between her fingers, only then did she realize what she had done. He smiled and nodded.

"Indeed... the cake is delicious. It's sweet." His voice was full of teasing.

She quickly put the half eaten glutinous cake back on the plate. After a while, Manager Xu returned with a long line of people carrying boxes. They need two strong men to carry a box into the room. The huge room was suddenly filled with a large box as tall as an adult's waist.
