The storekeeper snapped out of the thought.
"I am sorry. Yeah, I do have the table. Let show it to you." The storekeeper nodded.
He then called a waiter to show Bai Xifeng and others a table. The waiter seated them down at the table that they requested.
"Give the famous Peking duck dishes and a few dishes that you can recomnd. And good wine too." Bai Xifeng placed so orders.
The waiter recomnded a few dishes to Bai Xifeng. Bai Xifeng nodded. She gave so tips to the waiter. The waiter smiled as he saw Bai Xifeng give so money to him. He thanked Bai Xifeng and left for the kitchen.
"Master, how many days will we stay here?" Yu Nianzu asked.
"Hmm... Probably 2 to 3 days at least. We need to fully rest before going back on the road." Bai Xifeng said.
She did not plan to stay longer in one place. She liked to travel to other places to try their signature dishes.
"You may go anywhere if you want." Bai Xifeng added.
She did not want her subordinates to feel stuck. They also could enjoy their lives. No need to just follow her order all the ti.
The dishes ca after a while. The table was full.
"Let’s eat them." Bai Xifeng said.
Bai Xifeng started eating followed by Xiao Li, and Yu’s Siblings. They were talking about the incident that happened a few days ago. After they recovered a bit, Bai Xifeng talked to them about how they could return to General Bai’s Residence to wait for her to return ho.
Four of them refused to leave Bai Xifeng. They wanted to stick to Bai Xifeng even though they knew it would be dangerous. They should stick with Bai Xifeng. If they returned to General Bai Residence, there would be no one to protect them from people inside General Bai Residence.
They were having fun eating the dishes until so people started a fight.
"You are the cause of my wife becoming like that." A man shouted in anger.
"Ha! It is certainly not my fault. She is the one who jumped to cover you. It is your fault, Shen Shoushan." The man who was arguing talked back to Shen Shoushan.
"If not because of you, my wife, Ren Liqiu would not be unconscious like that. Fu Xiaobo, I will make you pay for this." Shen Shoushan said.
The man with the na Fu Xiaobo just laughed without care. Shen Shoushan beca irritated when Fu Xiaobo laughed like that when it was his fault. He started to fight with Fu Xiaobo.
However, it seed Fu Xiaobo was stronger than Shen Shoushan. Shen Shoushan fell breaking the table.
"Shen Shoushan, you better don’t annoy anymore. Otherwise, I can not help but kill you." Fu Xiaobo warned Shen Shoushan before leaving the restaurant.
Shen Shoushan stood up properly. He swore that he would make him pay for what Fu Xiaobo had done. But right now, he needed to find a pharmacist to cure his wife.
All of the pharmacists who ca to look at her wife’s condition just shook their heads telling him that they did not have any idea why his wife beca like that. He already did not know what to do. And then he saw Fu Xiaobo. After the incident, only Fu Xiaobo managed to live without any problem.
So, when he saw him being happy like that, he beca angry. The culprit was alive and living a good life anwhile he and his wife were not happy at all.
Bai Xifeng beca the onlooker who watching the drama. She did not fully understand the situation nor did she want to get involved in the situation.
After paying for the food, they all left the restaurant. Having a good-looking face did attract a lot of attention. Bai Xifeng wanted to check the pharmacy store that was available in the town.
"If you want to go sowhere else, you can go to the place you want." Bai Xifeng said.
"I want to follow you, Young Master." Xiao Li answered quickly.
"Hmm... It is better to stick together." Yu Xiaohui said.
"Oh?" Bai Xifeng asked.
"Yes." Yu Nianzu nodded.
So, five of them walked together. Bai Xifeng went to find the pharmacy store. They entered the store. It seed the sa man, Shen Shoushan was also here.
Shen Shoushan was kneeling to the storekeeper asking him for soone. Well, it was not like Bai Xifeng wanted to listen to what they were saying. But they technically were loud. So, others who entered the store could listen to their conversation.
"Please, can you do sothing about my wife?" Shen Shoushan begged the storekeeper.
"Pharmacist Su Jinhai already check your wife’s condition. He can not do anything about your wife." The storekeeper said.
"But..." Shen Shoushan wanted to say more but the storekeeper stopped him.
"Sir Shen, please leave. You are blocking my business. If you insist on staying like this, I will ask soone to drag you out. Your reputation will be going down." The storekeeper threatened Shen Shoushan.
"But..." Shen Shoushan wanted to say sothing but Bai Xifeng said sothing to Shen Shoushan.
"Can I look at your wife’s condition?" Bai Xifeng said.
Shen Shoushan looked at the voice’s owner. It was just a young man... A very young man.
"Are you a pharmacist?" Shen Shoushan asked.
"Hmm... You can say so." Bai Xifeng stated.
"Young man, I suggest that you should not waste your ti." The storekeeper advised Bai Xifeng.
"Hmm... It is okay. I am free." Bai Xifeng had a carefree smile on her face.
She gave a list of herbs that she wanted to the storekeeper. She needed to restock the herbs since she had used the herbs a lot at Sophia Mountain.
"Prepare this amount of herbs in two days. I will co and collect them later. Here is the deposit first." Bai Xifeng stated.
The storekeeper smiled when he saw the money. The list of the herbs that this custor wanted were not the rare herbs. So of them were normal herbs that were used daily.
"Sure, Young Master. I will prepare you. May I know your na?" The storekeeper wanted to get to know about her.
"Just under them under Long Feng’s na." Bai Xifeng said.
"Okay... Young master Long." The storekeeper said.
"Let’s go." Bai Xifeng said to Shen Shoushan. "To see your wife."
When Shoushan thought this young man was joking with him about seeing his wife.
"Why are you daze off like that?" Bai Xifeng asked again.
"Oh... Let’s go." Shen Shoushan snapped back to reality.
So, they walked out of the store and went to Shen Shoushan’s house. They stopped in front of quite a big house.
It seed this Shen Shoushan ca from a rich family. They entered the house. The servants greeted Shen Shoushan as a young master.
Shen Shoushan led them to one courtyard. They entered the room.
"Nianzu, Xiao Li, stay here. Xiaohui, Xiaoqing, follow ." Bai Xifeng stated.
"Young master Long, this is my wife." Shen Shoushan showed Bai Xifeng his wife.
A woman was unconscious on the bed. If not because Bai Xifeng saw she was breathing, Bai Xifeng might think she had already died. She looked so pale and so skinny.
"How long she had been in this condition?" Bai Xifeng asked.
"Almost one month." Shen Shoushan stated.
"Do you feed her sothing?" Bai Xifeng asked again.
"I did but there is no change at all." Shen Shoushan said.
Bai Xifeng took Shen Shoushan’s wife’s hand and read her pulse. Bai Xifeng frowned. Sothing was weird.
There was sothing inside Ren Liqiu’s body that was currently eating her spiritual life. The spiritual life was sothing that made people alive. Without that, soone would die.
"What happened before she beca like this?" Bai Xifeng asked.
"We went to Sophia Mountain with soone else. Then, we stumbled upon a swamp. It was like a normal swamp. Then, suddenly there was a winged crocodile appeared. We fight it.
The other party pulled my wife into the swamp during the fight. She seed to be okay when she climbed out of the swamp.
However, after one week, she fainted and did not wake up anymore." Shen Shoushan told the story to Bai Xifeng.
Bai Xifeng suspected it was sothing from the swamp that entered Ren Liqiu’s body and started to have a feast by itself.
