CHAPTER 429: CHAPTER 429: ONLY HE CARES DEEPLY FOR HER

Manager Liu sneered coldly, "Even pigs struggle before they die, let alone Manager Pei, right? Manager Pei?"

Shu’er knew she couldn’t run anymore and didn’t plan to.

Seeing the despicable looks of Liu Yong and Manager Liu, Shu’er felt her hands itching.

Recently, she had made some progress in her martial arts, and it was a perfect time to use these people for practice.

She had a smile on her face.

"May I ask what brings you here?"

Liu Yong had a victorious smile on his lips.

"We’d like to invite you to visit our Liu Family."

Shu’er replied, "If there’s time in the future, I’ll certainly visit, but I don’t have the leisure now."

Liu Yong sneered, "An invitation from the Liu Family isn’t something you can refuse."

Manager Liu said, "Enough with the nonsense, grab her for me!"

Shu’er tangled with these people, and halfway through the fight, she saw Manager Liu and Liu Yong shooting arrows from the side.

Their accuracy was quite high, and Shu’er was nearly hit several times.

Her movements were severely disrupted, but now she had gained strength. With the blessing of Spiritual Spring Water, defeating these people was only a matter of time.

Just as she was about to drink the Spiritual Spring Water, Tang Zan descended from the sky and quickly knocked all of them down.

Shu’er hadn’t even used her techniques before the battle was over.

At that moment, Manager Liu still didn’t realize what kind of formidable adversary he had provoked and continued shooting arrows, dragging Liu Yong into it as well.

The arrows they shot were all caught by Tang Zan, who then threw them back.

Both of them were injured, and their faces turned pale.

Tang Zan’s gentle gaze fell on Shu’er’s face, "Let’s go."

Shu’er raised her eyebrow, "When did you find me?"

Tang Zan smiled, "I’ve been following you since you set off. You went too far, and I was worried."

Shu’er felt a warmth in her heart; in this world, probably only Tang Zan truly cared for her.

She possessed spatial abilities, and Tang Zan had likely guessed it.

So with Tang Zan by her side, she felt at ease rather than fearful of exposing her space.

Tang Zan tied these people to a tree, raised his whip, and gave them a thorough beating, then looked up at Shu’er.

"Do you feel avenged?"

These people were battered and bruised, and the targeted harassment she’d suffered over this period seemed to have been alleviated.

She pulled a gentle smile.

"I feel avenged."

With his arm around Shu’er’s waist, Tang Zan paused in his steps as they passed the pitiful scene.

"We won’t invite you to our home; reflect well here."

At this moment, seeing Tang Zan made them shiver with fear.

This seemingly unassuming noble gentleman was so ruthless.

Just now, he seemed intent on tormenting them to death.

Tang Zan drove the carriage towards Jingzhou.

Shu’er took the chance to place the ingredients from her space into the carriage, then came out and sat beside Tang Zan.

Shortly after they left, a figure in a white monk’s attire landed on the rocks. He clasped his hands together, uttered a Buddhist chant, and lightly leaped in the direction of the carriage.

Pei’s Restaurant.

The business here was still booming.

Sister Xian stood at the entrance of Pei’s Restaurant with reddened eyes.

In recent days, she had poured in half a month’s revenue from the Drunken Immortal Tower, yet the business there plummeted.

Now she came to find Shu’er with no other purpose than to seek cooperation.

When Sister Xian saw Shu’er stepping out of the carriage, she walked over, trying hard to put on a smile.

"Manager Pei, can we talk about cooperation?"

Shu’er waved her hand, "There’s no need for cooperation; if Sister Xian is here for a heart-to-heart, you’re welcome."

Sister Xian stood where she was, making no further move.

Afterwards, Shu’er entered Pei’s Restaurant.

A little maid watched Shu’er’s back, feeling indignant for Sister Xian.

"Isn’t this Manager Pei too full of herself, rejecting the lady just like that?"

Sister Xian gritted her teeth, her regret growing stronger.

If she had known, she would have agreed to Shu’er back then.

Instead of being so high and mighty at the start.

Now all the restaurants in Jingzhou had been crushed by Pei’s.

"Let’s go."

The thriving business of Pei’s Restaurant was something no one had anticipated.

Now Shu’er had even bought the two adjacent buildings, intending to expand Pei’s scale.

"Hurry up with the renovations; let’s open the nearby buildings tomorrow."

Shu’er didn’t plan to open a branch; she aimed to make this store a hallmark of Jingzhou.

This expansion speed was sheer madness and fearsome.

At this moment, a heavy unease lingered over the Jingzhou Chamber of Commerce.

The Commerce Association’s president’s hair had turned much whiter.

"Pei’s Restaurant issue hasn’t been resolved, and now the Imperial Uncle has come from Xuzhou? The next target is Jingzhou."

Currently, no one could do anything about Shu’er, so they had to turn their attention to dealing with the Imperial Uncle.

The people in the hospitality industry were terrified at the mention of the Imperial Uncle.

Imperial Uncle Xiao Shen organized a team of chefs; wherever they went, they challenged the local culinary industry.

If they won, they would bet on thirty percent of the local culinary assets.

If it were just an average team, they could refuse, but this team was different.

This was a team with connections and backing, led by Imperial Uncle Xiao Shen.

Behind him stood Xiao Yushu, Empress Xiao.

Who would dare refuse?

He was also an unusual character.

Despite being an Imperial Uncle, he didn’t amass wealth, bully others, or indulge in gambling; he was simply obsessed with culinary arts.

Starting three years ago, after traveling through mountains and lands, he believed his culinary skills were unmatched, and he carried the flag of culinary arts everywhere for challenges.

At first, everyone thought he was an Imperial Uncle, so they gave way.

But after losing thirty percent of their assets, they felt the pain.

The key was, the Imperial Uncle’s culinary skills were unmatched globally, even without yielding.

Thus, Xiao Shen journeyed south from the Capital, having challenged every place in Dayan except north of the Capital.

One could say the entire culinary industry of Dayan was almost interconnected with him.

Just three months ago, Xiao Shen defeated the chefs of the Capital before heading north of the Capital for new challenges.

Xuzhou had already been defeated.

The next destination was Jingzhou.

So many renowned chefs had fallen to the Imperial Uncle’s skills, Jingzhou’s chefs mattered even less.

With these thoughts, the Jingzhou Chamber of Commerce felt like ants on a hot pan.

Their Jingzhou City, was there really no solution?

Thirty percent of the culinary industry’s assets, it was practically demanding Jingzhou’s life.

Now everyone was like ants on a hot pan, and just then, a clear male voice came from the Commerce Association entrance.

"I am Xiao Shen, is the president of the Commerce Association present?"
