"If this doesn't count as love, what should I be sad about~~"

Xiaowen watched this scene and clicked the mouse a few times, causing such music to flow out.

"..."

Don't mess around with the BGM, sister.

"No need for this, Bufan, take back your pledge. I'm already very moved by your sincere intentions, and even if one day you truly let me down, I will absolutely not blame you." The twenty-something Song Luping, yet his face carried the kindness of someone in their sixties.

Thanks for understanding, brother. Keep in mind, when the truth comes out later, you're absolutely not allowed to scold me.

Lin Li 'shyly' smiled a bit.

"Although our ages aren't suitable for father-and-son roles, perhaps one day we could become sworn brothers, and from then on I can genuinely call you my younger brother.

That way, like Liu Bei, I can proudly announce to all the chicken farms in Xiling — my second brother is invincible!

I remember historical records saying that Sun Shangxiang was willing to marry Liu Bei because she often heard him say that, but in the end, she found out she was deceived and was very angry, so she never gave Liu Bei any offspring.

Xiaofan, do you think if I say this, someone might rush into my arms too?"

Song Luping has already entered his fantasy world.

Lin Li: "?"

Bai Bufan really should swear brotherhood with Song Luping; they're both scholars of unofficial history.

"Alright, you brothers should stop being sentimental at the door. This... Brother Xiaofan, right? Are you going up now? I'll call someone to show you the way. Brother Song, you'd better hurry back; we'll take good care of your little brother.

You should hurry back and make tea with goji berries, polygonatum, cistanche, epimedium, dodder seeds in your thermos... You shouldn't come back for a while."

Although Xiaowen is certainly older than Lin Li, in this kind of occasion, she wouldn't normally call a customer 'brother', so she said.

Lin Li clicked his tongue; just hearing the names of these medicinal herbs made his nosebleed almost gush forth.

"He's not here to spend today; he's just here to check things out." Before Lin Li could speak, Song Luping directly helped him explain.

"Yes, that's it, Sister Xiaowen. Plus, I need to save up some money; the earliest I might come is this weekend," Lin Li echoed.

The sooner he completed the task of helping Bai Bufan sweep the place, the sooner he could obtain the elixir.

Maybe after just one mouthful, he'd ascend directly to the heavens.

"Oh, so that's how it is. Alright, alright, no problem at all. You just need to come when you can, even if I'm not on duty that day, just say Brother Ping introduced you, and mention that you've already met Xiaowen, then there should be no problem.

Even if there are issues, they'll ask me, and I'll resolve them for you." Xiaowen nodded and continued smiling:

"As for money? Hasn't Brother Song told you? Our main selling point is affordable quality, you shouldn't need to save for too long."

"I actually didn't have time to mention it. But Xiaowen, do give Brother Song a bit more face this time; in the future, offer Xiaofan a discount exceeding boundary conditions, eight percent discount, rest assured, I've taught him, he understands, he'll only pay in cash." Song Luping reminded Xiaowen.

"Usually, Brother Song, the guests you introduce get a ninety-five percent discount, considering your good relationship with Xiaofan, ninety percent is no problem, but for an eighty percent discount, I'll need to discuss with the boss and the sisters, I'll try my best." Xiaowen gestured OK but didn't fully commit.

Song Luping indeed did not deceive; he really has such a significant influence in the Chicken Raising World.

"A ninety percent discount doesn't sound good; later, people will say my face carries just a ninety percent level of value, at least there should be an eighty-nine percent discount right?" Song Luping negotiated.

"Alright, alright." Xiaowen nodded, scanning to ensure no regular customers were around before turning to Lin Li: "Since I'm idle anyway, let me first introduce the pricing of the store to you, so you won't bring too much or too little money when you come later.

The price is roughly like this..."

Really, you truly shouldn't say, the consumption level of this shop is much lower than that of Leight Jazz, not only are the corresponding service prices only half that of Leight Jazz, but the extra charges for additional services are exceedingly low.

"It's indeed not expensive..." Lin Li lamented.

What a pity.

"Of course. Tianhong focuses on quick turnover with small profits; everything we do is labor-intensive work. Life is tough; we're just trying to earn some hard money." Xiaowen felt a bit prideful after hearing the lament.

"Xiaofan, the previous location you visited at Leight Jazz in Xiling Center, the rent difference compared to here is significant. Plus, they want to create a high-end atmosphere; this price is purely inflated by various factors, except for the considerate but regrettably already entered Sweet, not a single one is worth it.

I've always believed in a saying since childhood; disaster lurks beneath fortune, fortune lies hidden in disaster. A fortune teller said when I was young that my life would be a balance of fortunes and misfortunes, neither too good nor too bad.

It applies to you too.

Although Xiaofan, you got caught at Leight Jazz, hidden within this misfortune was the luck of getting to know me; you could say you've profited, saved six or seven years of wandering in Xiling, didn't waste foolish money, nor wasted time."

Song Luping analyzed the reasons to Lin Li, while sighing.

Suddenly, Song Luping furrowed his brow.

He realized a problem: "Strange, I narrowly escaped death at Leight Jazz before, which certainly counts as absolute good fortune, right? Yet afterward, nothing else happened worthy of remark, besides meeting you.

But this matter is absolutely good fortune for me, hey, where's my misfortune?"

"Do you feel something's off, could it be that I'm about to meet someone significant?"

Song Luping was plunged into worry.

"Hello, the significant one is right here."

Lin Li blinked, suddenly feeling a bit curious about meeting this fortune-teller—it seemed quite accurate.

Lin Li actually believed in metaphysics, but only halfway.

Left eye twitching means fortune, right eye twitching means superstition—Lin Li only believed in the part that was good for him.

But this fortune-teller seemed suspiciously accurate.

Maybe they're actually a powerful cultivator in the real world, able to roam between shattered worlds.

"Brother Ping, there's no need to worry, it's just superstition. You think it's accurate, that's just like horoscopes, with their descriptions—they're so broad even a dog would agree with a few points. It's all psychological, a result of your own imagination."

Horoscope Predictor: "Your sign will die if you don't breathe this month." Horoscope Enthusiast: "Wow, that's so accurate, they're describing me!"

"I don't think you'll encounter anything troublesome again." The greatest trouble himself began to console Song Luping, as he couldn't let the other party suspect him.

"Yeah, maybe my life started to turn around when I met you, Xiaofan. After all, before meeting you, I had already given up the idea of finding a soulmate in this world. Yes! This way of understanding makes everything clear. I really need to thank you, Xiaofan."

Song Luping was obviously an optimistic person who knew how to comfort himself, having found a reason he could accept.

"Oh, right, I almost forgot to mention, Sister Xiaowen, there's a good chance I'll bring a classmate over this weekend, is that okay?

Will he be excluded since he's a stranger? He won't ask for discounts, he'll pay full price, and I can teach him to abide by Brother Ping's ladybug rules." Lin Li spoke up.

Wouldn't want Bai Bufan to be stopped at the door.

Although Lin Li thought that scene would be quite amusing, he'd love to see Bai Bufan's exasperated face.

"Are you familiar with this classmate?" Song Luping asked on Xiaowen's behalf.

"Very familiar, we're super buddies, Brother Ping. He's just like us, holding great respect for Chicken Raising World, but he's a bit less brave than I am—he doesn't dare try it alone." Lin Li nodded, "It's a shame he's a boarding student, or I'd call him over to meet you now."

"He's like you too?" Song Luping was shocked.

No wonder Xiling Town's top school! It's filled with talents!

Who knew such a small school not only housed a sleeping dragon but also hid a phoenix chick!

"When you get the chance, introduce him to Brother Song."

There may have been some doubts before, but now, Song Luping was certain that Bai Bufan was his lucky star!

Screw that saying about fortune and misfortune, from now on, he'll have nothing but good luck!

"Sure, Brother, I bet once he knows, he'll be happier than you. The two of you will definitely have a lot to talk about." Lin Li nodded, speaking sincerely.

"That's no problem at all! As long as you're familiar with him, my brother's brother is my brother too, how could there be no discount, don't worry about these little expenses for me!" Song Luping said generously.

"...Brother Song, that's our money." Xiaowen raised her hand to point out.

"Ahem, not important, what kind of relationship do we have here, no need to be so specific."

Xiaowen rolled her eyes helplessly but didn't argue further, nodding towards Lin Li:

"Brother Xiaofan, you're basically one of us now. As long as you personally bring your friend over, and not him coming alone, it'll be no problem at all to host you both."

"That's great, I'm already looking forward to a surely pleasant weekend." Lin Li showed an 'excited' smile, "I hope nothing unexpected happens again, last time almost gave me a trauma."

"Last time you were really unlucky, but no worries, Tianhong is an old brand with a legacy, there won't be any more unexpected incidents, guaranteed!" Song Luping pounded his chest with conviction.

"Hiss—" His spirit barely lasted a second before Song Luping began to massage his chest, wincing.

To hurt himself like this, rounding it up, is also a kind of talent.

"I borrow Brother Ping's good omen, so—"

The evening concluded perfectly, surpassing the task by several times, and Lin Li was satisfied, ready to bid farewell.

"Yes, Brother Xiaofan, don't worry, we're on high alert now.

During the busiest weekends, we'll keep an eye on any suspicious individuals, ensuring you and your friend have a safe and happy weekend!" She even gave Lin Li a wink after speaking.

Lin Li, who was already prepared to turn and leave, stopped in his tracks, the polite farewell words stuck in his throat.

Lin Li turned around, showing genuine curiosity:

"Oh—?"

"Is there such a thing?"
