Chapter 3: His pet is a Demon Saint!
“So you want this? Its energy is equivalent to an eighth-grade spiritual pill!”
Zhou Dahai exclaimed with excitement.
An eighth-grade spiritual pill would cost more than a billion and was extremely difficult to obtain.
If this Kung Pao Chicken was offered at East Mountain Mansion, even at a price of twenty billion, it would be gone in an instant.
Zhou Mingjun stared in shock at his father. “My god, check out your cultivation level, dad.”
“I know. I’ve already advanced to the Grandmaster Stage!”
“The Kung Pao Chicken is so powerful! I thought it was just worth one sixth-grade spiritual pill,” Zhou Mingjun murmured, “I only paid him ten million, but I stated that I would make up for the rest very soon.”
One sixth-grade spiritual pill might be sold for one hundred million, while one eighth-grade pill would be at least a billion.
He had never seen so much money in his lifetime!
“This is really a big deal, and we must pay the due amount.”
“That big shot must be a divine-level alchemist, cause he’s able to make such an extraordinary dish of Kung Pao Chicken.”
Zhou Dahai said with respect.
Zhou Mingjun was a bit surprised. “Father, is it possible that its concentrated energy is because it’s the Phoenix Bird King?”
When Zhou Dahai heard “Phoenix Bird King,” he spit up the water he had just drunk.
Then he quickly activated the genuine qi to limit the water in the air before sipping it again.
This water had a tremendous amount of energy in it, so he didn’t want to waste a drop of it.
Zhou Dahai’s eyes were wide as he stared at Zhou Mingjun. “You mean this meat belongs to that Bird King?”
“Yes. It wasn’t the wolf-like demonic beast that killed the Bird King, as was mentioned on television. It was that big shot’s pet dog. Dad, his pet dog is far more powerful even than the principal.”
Zhou Mingjun said with some lingering fear.
“No, you are wrong, even if it is the Phoenix Bird King, it would not have such a high level of energy.”
“It must be because of the method that big shot made it. Let’s go visit him now and make up for the rest of the money.”
Zhou Dahai stated as he prepared to go.
“But dad, it’s night now. Are you sure you want to bother that senior at this hour?” Zhou Yaqi said.
“You are right,” Zhou Dahai remarked after some consideration, “we will go visit him tomorrow.”
After that, the three of them sat down around the bowl of food.
“Anyway, there won’t be any guests coming, so let’s go to bed!” muttered Zhang Xuan, dazedly looking at the door.
The dog’s eyes lighted up when it heard what Zhang Xuan said, and it repeatedly nodded its head in agreement.
Zhang Xuan stared blankly at the dog. “Right now, go take a shower, or else don’t come inside!”
Despite its hesitation, the dog rushed to the edge of the stream and leaped in.
The moon rose, and moonlight streamed into the chamber.
Zhang Xuan had no idea that his body was emitting a specific type of Taoist Charm.
The dog, which had been standing by the side for quite some time, opened its eyes wide and avidly absorbed the Taoist Charm. It couldn’t help but tilt its head to the side of Zhang Xuan.
The Taoist Charm radiated from Zhang Xuan’s body was extremely dense. Even the dog couldn’t absorb all of it. Some of it even made its way into the courtyard behind.
Zhang Xuan grew some fruits and veggies in his garden. The leaves were rustling at this point.
A wave of fowl screams woke up the dog which was resting in the room.
When the dog heard the ruckus outside, it sneezed twice in disgust before continuing to sleep with its eyes closed.
The night flew by in a flash.
The sun rose.
Before opening the restaurant, Zhang Xuan watered all the veggies and dusted the yard.
“Congratulations, host, on your successful completion of the assignment. Great Tao + 1!”
“Woof!”
The dog was already sitting on a chair waiting for him.
Zhang Xuan stared blankly at the dog. Perhaps due to the awakening of the Spiritual Energy, this dog was getting smarter and smarter. Although it couldn’t speak, its intelligence was no different from that of a regular human.
When the dog noticed Zhang Xuan’s stare, it made a charming look.
“That’s just absurd!”
Just as Zhang Xuan had done his cooking, the sound of footsteps could be heard from outside the shop.
When he heard the footsteps, Zhang Xuan’s heart raced. Could it be that wealthy second generation? Was he here to stir problems today?
Zhang Xuan felt a surge of remorse.
“Are you there, sir? My name is Zhou Mingjun!”
It was, indeed, the voice of the boy from yesterday.
Zhang Xuan turned over and noticed Zhou Mingjun approaching with a man and a girl.
That man was tall and strong, and he was dressed in a suit with leather shoes.
Zhang Xuan couldn’t help but sigh when he saw the girl.
She was so beautiful!
So charming!
Her complexion was as white as snow, and her jet black hair cascaded down her back. Her eyes were watery and pretty.
Her body was nearly ideal, and her tiny waist and generous breast made her very appealing to every man.
Zhou Mingjun noticed Zhang Xuan was astonished. He was taken aback at first, but then he couldn’t help but giggle.
Last night, he was thinking about how wonderful it would be if this man became his brother-in-law. Now that he’d seen the way Zhang Xuan looked at his sister, he knew there had to be a possibility for this to work out.
Zhou Dahai noticed the expression in Zhang Xuan’s eyes as well. He was overjoyed as he stared back and forth between his daughter and Zhang Xuan.
Zhou Yaqi couldn’t take Zhang Xuan’s stare any longer and cleared her throat uneasily.
Zhang Xuan quickly regained his composure and grinned awkwardly. “What’s the matter…” he inquired of Zhou Mingjun.
“It smells so good!”
The three persons standing at the entrance smelt an enticing fragrance before Zhang Xuan could complete his sentence. They merely felt as if all of the weariness in their bodies had vanished.
Zhou Dahai and Zhou Yaqi exchanged glances. They still didn’t think Zhang Xuan could be that miraculous until they saw him. They were certain at this point.
The dog, however, was glaring at Zhou Mingjun.
Zhou Dahai and his children were shocked and collapsed to the ground, their faces turning pale.
Zhou Dahai gazed at the dog in shock and exclaimed, “Demon Saint!”
Although he had a strong suspicion about this dog before arriving here, he was astonished to discover that he had been incorrect.
This was a Demon Saint!
If this man kept a Demon Saint as a pet, his power must be absolutely unimaginable.
Zhou Dahai furiously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, turning deathly pale.
