The Thunder God Novel - Chapter 125
Chapter 125 Local Tycoons (1)
A large bowl of rice, a bowl of boiled fish, and a large plate of vegetables from boiling water. There was no oil or salt. Lei Xingfeng tasted a mouthful of tasteless vegetables without any oil or water. This made him very unhappy. He asked, “Is this a specialty? No meat?”
The shop owner smiled apologetically and said, “No, there are still a few wild ducks, but they were bought by a guest, hehe.”
Lei Xingfeng shook his head. He took out a Thousand Leaf Steamed Bun. There were a lot of barbaric beef that he had collected from before. He had already pickled it and steamed it. He said, “Cut it for me and put it on a plate.” The so-called Thousand Leaves was the leaves of a plant. A leaf was the size of a table. After boiling, it was dried in the sun. It was a kind of packaging that had good toughness. In Huya Castle, it was something that everyone had.
Barbarian beef was a specialty of Tiger Cliff Castle. Its meat was extremely tender and nutritious. Ever since Lei Xingfeng left Tiger Cliff Castle, the amount of barbarian beef he had collected had gradually been used up. Therefore, he had eaten very sparingly. Normally, he had other meals that he was unwilling to take out.
In a short while, the shop owner brought up a large wooden plate of barbaric beef. Because the barbaric beef had been cured, it was cut red. A strong fragrance of meat spread out, and the shop owner’s throat kept wriggling. He could tell at a glance that this guy was constantly swallowing his saliva.
Neither Tan Da nor Wu Zhen had ever eaten wild beef. When they smelled this strong meat fragrance, they couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. Tan Da said, “What kind of meat is this? Why is it so fragrant?”
Lei Xingfeng said, “Barbaric beef is a specialty of my hometown. Unfortunately, I don’t have much left. The dishes here are too dull.”
Wu Zhen tasted a mouthful of savage beef and couldn’t help but praise loudly, “Delicious! Mm … delicious …”
Tan Da also ate a piece of barbaric beef, and his eyes immediately widened. He said, “Ah, it’s really delicious …”
“What smells so good?”
Lei Xingfeng turned around and looked out of the shop. These words came from outside. A few people walked into the store. With Lei Xingfeng’s gaze, he immediately knew that these people were cultivators. There was no need to probe them. Just from their clothes, it could be seen that these people were wearing silk clothes, fish-skin boots, black leather belts on their waists, and some small accessories hanging on their waists. Each of them looked confident.
A young man who lacked an arm twitched his nose and walked into the store like a puppy. He kept saying, “Why is it so fragrant?”
When he walked into the store, the man saw the barbaric beef on the table and his eyes lit up. He immediately knew that the fragrance was brought by this plate of meat. He shouted, “Hey, give me one that will catch my breath …”
Lei Xingfeng frowned slightly. This person was too crazy. What did he mean by someone who would catch his breath? Tan Da looked at it with a smile that wasn’t even a smile. Only Wu Zhen couldn’t control his mouth. It was too delicious, and it was also a painful thing. He simply couldn’t stop and concentrated on eating the fat beef. Especially after being cured and steamed, the taste of the beef was endless.
The shop owner ran out, and when he saw these people, his face immediately turned pale.
“Great Master, three great masters, please, please … please sit down …”
“Come, come, let’s go … Oh right, give me a few plates … Well, that kind of meat …” He pointed at the beef on Lei Xingfeng’s table.
The shopkeeper was about to cry. Where could he find barbaric beef? This was not a local product. He said, “Big, big master, this, this is the meat brought by the guests … This is not a dish from a small shop.” He looked at the three of them timidly, his eyes filled with extreme fear.
The man waved his sleeve and the sleeve on his broken arm was pulled out. With a bang, the shop owner was pulled back repeatedly. A red mark appeared on his face very quickly. He said, “I don’t care. Give me a few plates of that meat, or I’ll tear down your shop!”
The strong fragrance of meat made this fellow start to be unreasonable.
Lei Xingfeng had gradually come to understand this world and knew that cultivators were unreasonable when they became arrogant. Especially cultivators. As long as they wanted something, they would snatch it by any means. Unless the other party was stronger than them, no one would stop them.
The shop owner finally cried. This kind of calamity was truly inexplicable. He didn’t know what to do if someone brought someone to the shop to eat and ended up suffering. Moreover, with his eyes, he naturally understood that Lei Xingfeng and the others weren’t to be trifled with. What else could he do? He only cried out in despair. He knew the guy with the broken arm. He was a local tyrant. If he were to provoke him, he would really tear down the store.
Wu Zhen raised his head and blankly said, “Why is he crying?” This fellow was busy eating like crazy, and he didn’t know what was going on in the store at all.
Tan Da couldn’t help but shake his head and say, “Someone wants to eat meat. Haha, force the boss to take it, or else we’ll tear down his store.” His voice was quiet, but the people in the store could hear him clearly.
Wu Zhen said, “So domineering … amazing, amazing!” His tone was full of mockery. He was also a tyrant in his hometown, but he had never bullied others like this without any reason. He was a little unsightly.
The man glanced over and wanted to use this opportunity to speak. He said, “Friend, where did you come from?”
Lei Xingfeng folded his arms and looked at him indifferently. He was amused. This guy actually used this method to eat. Tan Da didn’t say anything. He just looked at him like this. Wu Zhen picked up another piece of meat and ate it while saying, “Passing by …”
The man kept looking at the three of them. Slowly, he tasted it. The three of them were definitely not to be provoked. Not to mention their gorgeous attire, even their bearing was absolutely extraordinary. Basically, there was no need to think about it. The other party must be a cultivator. However, he could not see the depth of the other party’s strength. He had already begun to be cautious in his heart. If he inexplicably provoked a difficult opponent, it would not be worth it for a meal.
The two people beside him were obviously followers. Lei Xingfeng could tell at a glance how deep the three of them were. The guy with the broken arm was a Hundred Wheels Master. The two people beside him barely surpassed the Little Wheels Master. They had just entered the sect and were slightly stronger than ordinary people. They were not as good as the barbarians from their hometowns.
The shopkeeper was so scared that tears streamed down his face.
That person was habitually overbearing. He said angrily, “Passing by … Hehe, did you bring this meat?”
Wu Zhen said, “Eating meat … shouldn’t have offended you?” He said innocently.
The man thought for a moment and said, “Of course, hehe, I wonder what kind of meat this is? Why is it so delicious?” He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, “Can I have some? I’ll pay for it.” He stared at Wu Zhen with a trace of desire in his eyes. He didn’t dare to be so rude to cultivators as he was to shop owners.
Wu Zhen looked at him mockingly and said, “Even if the three of us don’t have enough meat, we don’t lack money. Why should we give it to you?”
The man stood up and before he could say anything, Wu Zhen continued, “Why? Do you want to make a move?” It was rare for him to be able to shake his might once, and he didn’t want to let it go at all.
Lei Xingfeng looked at the man with a smile. It was a pale-faced young man, There was a very conspicuous hook nose. Because of this, his entire face gave off a sinister feeling. However, a pair of peach blossom eyes appeared on his face. Immediately, his sinister expression was diluted. His very strange face was stimulated by Wu Zhen’s words. However, he quickly adjusted himself and said, “Haha, we are not enemies. We just want to buy you some meat. There is no need to be so nervous.”
Wu Zhen blushed and said, “No!”
Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, “Forget it, let’s eat together. It’s not a big deal.” He wanted to know the situation. Since this person wanted to eat it, then he could eat it for him. It was just a little bit of wild beef.
That person looked at Lei Xingfeng in surprise and said, “Qi Yaoyan, Hundred Lun Master!”
Lei Xingfeng said, “Lei Xingfeng.” He did not report his level. To him, a Hundred Revolution Master was simply not worth mentioning his level of strength.
Tan Da lazily said, “Tan Da.”
Only Wu Zhen was a little excited. He said, “Wu Zhen, Qianlun Master!”
Qi Yaoyan was shocked. Although Qianlun Master wasn’t anything special, he was slightly stronger than him. Furthermore, he could tell that Wu Zhen wasn’t the leader of the three. In other words, both Lei Xingfeng and Tanda were stronger than Wu Zhen. He thought to himself, “Could it be Milun Master?” “Even Milun Master is not afraid. We have a real person guarding this place.” He secretly encouraged himself.
“Nice to meet you, nice to meet you. Haha, then we’ll be naked.”
Qi Yaoyan felt that it was funny because he wanted to eat a mouthful of meat. For a meal of meat, he had gone too far just now. He brought the two of them directly to the table in Lei Xingfeng and glanced at the wild beef on the table with envious eyes. He asked, “What kind of meat is this? I’ve never seen it before.”
Lei Xingfeng said, “Barbaric beef is a specialty of Juman Continent.”
Qi Yaoyan was shocked. The Barbarian Gathering Continent was an extremely distant place. He had only heard of it. He didn’t expect that there would be cultivators running from the Barbarian Gathering Continent to the Ten Thousand Lakes Continent. How far would it take? He said, “Really?” As he spoke, he reached out to grab a piece of beef and put it into his mouth.
A rich fragrance of meat spread out in his mouth. It was salty and fat. The taste was so good that Qi Yaoyan widened his eyes. He couldn’t help but say, “Wow, it’s delicious … good …”
Tan Da and Wu Zhen also started to eat together. As for Qi Yaoyan’s two younger brothers, they hesitated to look at them. Their identities and strengths were too low to dare to be rash. Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, “You two should try it too, or else there won’t be any left.”
The two people sitting beside Qi Yaoyan immediately reached out to grab the beef. Although it looked ugly, Lei Xingfeng didn’t care.
