Invincible Over the World -
Chapter 375 - 375 375 Soft Tofu
375: Chapter 375: Soft Tofu 375: Chapter 375: Soft Tofu Half an hour later, Huang Xiaolong and his companions arrived at Heavenly Buddha City.
A few years ago, Huang Xiaolong had come to the Heavenly Buddha Empire in search of the Sumeru Divine Mountain but had not visited the Imperial City, Heavenly Buddha City.
As soon as he stepped into Heavenly Buddha City, Huang Xiaolong felt the pervasive Buddha Energy within the city.
This Buddha Energy was not emitted by any one person, but rather, it was formed over many years due to the continuous influence of Buddha Power.
The streets were lined with shops, most of which were related to Buddha; some sold Buddha Images, some sold Buddhist items, and some even sold secret Buddhist books.
Of course, most of these secret books were low-level Yellow-grade or Intermediate Fighting Skills.
Although these secret books were of no interest to Huang Xiaolong, driven by curiosity, he, along with Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu, entered a few bookshops and casually browsed through several books.
After wandering around for several hours, it was nearly noon.
When they passed by a large inn called the Buddhist Restaurant, Huang Xiaolong, together with Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu, walked in.
Having tried Luotong Kingdom’s Snow Moon Wine, Broken Blade Empire’s Aftertaste Wine, and Danyang City’s Origin Wine, Huang Xiaolong had yet to taste any Buddhist Wine.
Upon entering the restaurant, the scent of the wine was captivating.
This was a kind of fragrance distinct from Snow Moon Wine, Aftertaste Wine, and Origin Wine; just by the smell alone, one could tell that the Buddhist Restaurant’s wine must be exceptional.
Given the two Giant Puppets following behind Huang Xiaolong, as soon as they entered the restaurant, they attracted the attention and quiet discussions of many people.
The two Holy Domain Fourth Stage Giant Puppets, although they retracted the aura of Holy Domain Experts, simply their towering height of over four meters and their robust build gave an innate pressure to those around.
“Are those Beastmen from the Shifang Continent?” one person said in amazement, observing the Giant Puppets behind Huang Xiaolong.
“No, Beastmen have some characteristics of demon beasts, these two clearly aren’t Beastmen,” said another person at the same table.
“Who could have imagined there were such tall people in the world?” a third person exclaimed in surprise.
Hearing the soft murmurs around him, Huang Xiaolong smiled to himself and didn’t take it to heart; he, along with Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu, found a seat near a window and sat down.
The Giant Puppets stood behind Huang Xiaolong.
Soon, a waiter came over and asked, “May I know what the distinguished guests would like to order?”
Huang Xiaolong said, “Serve a table of your best dishes, the very best.
Additionally, bring over three jars of your restaurant’s finest wine first.”
“First bring over three jars?” the waiter repeated in surprise.
Seeing the waiter’s expression, Huang Xiaolong didn’t say much more; he took out a Space Ring and placed it on the table.
Inside the Space Ring, Gold Coins were piled up like a mountain, nearly blinding the waiter with their shine.
Huang Xiaolong had encountered such situations many times before.
As expected, seeing the mountainous pile of Gold Coins inside Huang Xiaolong’s Space Ring, the waiter’s legs trembled as if he was desperate to urinate, and without another word, he respectfully backed away.
Shortly after, he brought over a table full of the best dishes and three jars of the restaurant’s finest wine.
This wine, which bore the restaurant’s name, was called Buddhist Wine.
Huang Xiaolong opened the jars, and with a clink of bowls, he, along with Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu, drank down the wine.
As the wine went down their throat, they could appreciate its rich and fragrant flavor, its strong yet smooth quality, and a certain tranquility that it evoked, leading one to ponder and reminisce.
“This wine is good,” Huang Xiaolong praised.
Though the Buddhist Wine was not quite on par with Danyang City’s Origin Wine, it was still excellent.
Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu nodded their approval as well.
Huang Xiaolong and his companions chatted as they drank.
At this moment, a rotund fat man with a large belly walked into the restaurant, followed by four guards.
What made Huang Xiaolong want to laugh was the fat man’s comically humorous appearance: small eyes, a big nose, a wide mouth, and eyebrows so thin they resembled a woman’s.
Moreover, his belly looked like it could fit a large water jar.
As soon as the fat man chose a seat and sat down, his eyes swept across the room, and on seeing the two Giant Puppets behind Huang Xiaolong, his tiny eyes lit up as if he had discovered a treasure.
The chubby man stood up and walked straight toward Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Xiaolong saw the chubby man approaching him, and his gaze was fixed on the Giant Puppets behind him, he felt bewildered.
Could it be that this chubby man recognized his Giant Puppets?
The Giant Puppets of the Exquisite Treasure Tower were refined from Ancient Golden Giants.
Those who could recognize the Ancient Golden Giants should be few.
Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu were also looking puzzled with their eyes.
At this moment, the chubby man arrived in front of Huang Xiaolong and smiled at him, “Brother, are these two your guards?” he meant the two Giant Puppets.
Huang Xiaolong was startled and then nodded, “That’s right.” He could not figure out what the other party meant by asking such a question.
The chubby man continued to smile and said, “I wonder if brother is willing to sell these two guards?
I would like to buy them.”
Huang Xiaolong, Zhao Shu, and Zhang Fu were all stunned.
Looking at the chubby man’s eyes that nearly turned into a line when he smiled, Huang Xiaolong found it amusing, “Are you sure you want to buy them?”
Huang Xiaolong had considered many possibilities as to why the chubby man approached, but he did not expect that the other party was actually interested in buying his Giant Puppets.
“Indeed,” the chubby man answered with a smile.
“Why do you want to buy my two guards?” Huang Xiaolong asked.
He was very curious as to why the chubby man wanted to buy his Giant Puppets.
It was clear that being at the Postnatal Eighth Stage, the other party could not possibly discern that his two Giant Puppets were Holy Domain Fourth Stage experts.
If he could see that, he wouldn’t dare to entertain such a thought.
The chubby man smiled and said, “Because your two guards look quite imposing.”
Quite imposing!
Huang Xiaolong, Zhao Shu, and Zhang Fu could not help but laugh and cry at the same time.
However, it was true that the more than four meters tall Giant Puppets standing there did indeed look quite imposing.
Huang Xiaolong shook his head and smiled, “You cannot afford my two Giant guards.” What Huang Xiaolong said was true; even a whole Empire could not afford a Holy Domain expert, let alone one at the Fourth Stage.
However, the chubby man obviously did not understand what Huang Xiaolong meant and declared loudly, “One million, how about that?”
One million!
People around turned to look, their eyes filled with shock.
In the Heavenly Buddha Empire’s Imperial City, Heavenly Buddha City, one million was indeed a huge sum of money.
Seeing the shocked look in the people around, the chubby man’s face showed pride.
Huang Xiaolong shook his head.
Seeing this, the chubby man paused, then said, “I mean one million each, two million for both.”
Huang Xiaolong still shook his head.
If it weren’t for the fact that he saw no malice in him, he would have already sent him away with harsh words.
Seeing Huang Xiaolong shake his head again, the chubby man’s eyes showed some disappointment.
Just as he was about to return to his seat, suddenly a voice rang out, “Looking tall is one thing, but they’re only for show.
With such guards, one can only put on an imposing front.
If a real fight breaks out, I’m afraid they’d be soft tofu, crushed to death with one slap!” The voice was full of mockery and disdain, clearly referring to Huang Xiaolong’s two Giant Puppets as the ‘soft tofu.’
Huang Xiaolong and the crowd turned to look.
The speaker was a young man in a flamboyant robe with an oily complexion and powdered face.
“It’s Eldest Young Master Chen from the Chen Family, Chen Luoguang!” someone exclaimed.
Hearing this, people’s expressions changed slightly, indicating that this Eldest Young Master Chen Luoguang had quite a reputation in Heavenly Buddha City.
