"Qi Realm Ascension!"

Gu Bei gave an order from his consciousness.

[Congratulations to the host for raising the level of Qi Realm to: Level 2, you can choose to spend 500 Karui to upgrade to level 3.] 】

As the system spoke, his bag full of Karui coins instantly lost 100.

At the same time, I can clearly feel the abundance of Yuan Qi in my body, which is stronger than before.

[The main quest has been successfully activated: Successfully produced a braised nine ghost fish with a comprehensive score of over 90 points. Reward: Golden Spatula. 】

[Side quest activated successfully: Successfully earn 10,000 Kalu coins, task reward: titanium alloy dog eye. 】

......

Looking at the tasks that appeared in his consciousness at the same time, and a recipe for braised nine ghost fish that was fused into his mind: nine ghost fish, banyan root, heavenly herbs, and the best red garlic.

Call...

Gu Bei sorted out his thoughts, and planned not to improve the Qi realm first, pay off the foreign debts owed, and then work hard to make some money to open a store.

But in the next few days, the control of the business was still a little difficult.

On the second day, it was more than 1,200 kalu, on the third day it was just over 1,000, and on the fourth day onwards, the income gradually decreased every day.

Gu Bei also found the reason, mainly because the weather was too hot, because Malatang was spicy, and the heat could make people sweat.

So when the weather gets hotter and hotter, the number of customers gradually decreases.

When the stall was about to close on the evening of the eighth day, he carefully calculated that today's income was 755 Karui, which was also the last time he got rid of it.

Because in addition to the money for medicine and his father's foreign debts, there are more than 5,500 Kalu left, which is enough to rent a shop.

"Brother, I'm so hot. ”

Gu Xi'er sat on the small stool in front of the stall, her sleeves were rolled up, and she was holding a puff fan to fan the wind, but she still felt hot.

Gu Bei was naturally much better with Yuan Qi's body, and seeing that he waved his hand and mobilized Yuan Qi to lower the temperature beside his sister.

Because controlling the temperature all the time would consume a large amount of Yuan Qi, he could only help Gu Xi'er cool down when it was very hot.

"Is it cool?"

Some doted on her little head and said, ready to put it for another half an hour and then go home.

"Uh-huh... It's so cool. Gu Xi'er nodded quickly, closing her eyes and enjoying the comfort of the cool breeze at this moment.

"Miss, what does this smell like?"

It was already close to the early hours of the morning, and there were no people on the street, but at this time, a pair of women who seemed to be masters and servants stopped by the stall.

Gu Bei frowned and looked at the person who called her Miss next to the beautiful maid, and suddenly became a little surprised.

Because his Malatang is already very famous in this town, everyone has changed their previous prejudices about themselves.

And the two people in front of them are very face-to-face, the most important thing is that their hair is pale blonde, and even their pupils are sea blue.

The woman looked to be in her early twenties, dressed in a white court-style gown, with a silver bracelet on her left wrist, and was very exquisitely made.

With a slender body, willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, slightly thin cherry lips, and long pale blonde hair hanging down her shoulders, you can see her unique noble temperament at a glance.

"What are you selling?"

The maid took the lead in front of the stall, looked at it with beautiful eyes, looked up and questioned, and her tone was a little strong.

"Malatang. ”

Gu Bei replied calmly, but his eyes stayed on the woman behind her, such a hot weather, and she actually acted as if nothing happened.

Even her maid's white neck and face were sweating, could it be Master Yuan Qi?

Sure enough, when he finished thinking about it, a blurred data frame popped up in front of him.

【Target Qi Realm Confirmed Successful】

Qi Realm Level: Level 25

Danger level: High

......

Seeing this, Gu Bei gasped, how could someone with a Qi realm as high as level 25 appear in this small place?

Because cultivating Yuan Qi requires an innate talent, of course, he has a system to make an exception.

Maybe only one person out of a hundred people can cultivate Yuan Qi, and Luoyang Town is a relatively poor area, and no one can cultivate to more than twenty levels at all.

"Malatang?"

The maid, apparently unaware of the name, turned her head to look at what she called Miss, only to see that she had already sat down.

"Miss, you can't eat the food from these stalls, if..."

Nalan Ruyue lightly raised her left hand wearing the bracelet, and the small bell on it also made a crisp sound of "jingling", signaling her to sit down.

"Hello, please make two bowls of spicy hot. Nalan Ruyue's red lips were slightly hooked, and her sea-blue eyes looked at Gu Feng and nodded, showing aristocratic etiquette.

"Wait a minute. ”

Gu Bei replied briefly, seeing that the other party was not malicious, but very polite to make him feel favorable.

If he guessed correctly, these two women were not from the Dragon Empire, because the Dragon Empire was all with the same black hair and black eyes as him.

It's just that the light blonde and blue eyes don't know if it's the Aoyue Empire or some other small country, after all, many countries have this kind of appearance trait.

After a while, two bowls of steaming spicy tang were served in front of them, looking at the bright red soup in the bowls and the pungent taste.

Nalan Ruyue's pretty eyebrows were a little tight, and her movements were not as rude as others, but she picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks, and put her red lips slightly open into her mouth.

Then he began to close his eyes and chew carefully, probably because Gu Feng put too many chili peppers, and his fair and smooth cheeks actually had a red circle.

Seeing that the young lady seemed to have a good expression when she ate it, the maid Xiaolan also tried to eat a few bites, but she was immediately choked by the spicy taste and kept coughing.

"It's... What's in there?"

Xiaolan looked at Gu Bei with a smile on his face, his face was spicy, red and hot, and he hurriedly poured the boiled water on the table and drank it in a big gulp.

"Miss, can you eat this too?" Xiaolan looked at Nalan Ruyue, who was eating elegantly, in surprise, except that her face was slightly infrared and she didn't seem to resist, and the more she ate, the faster she ate.

"It's delicious. Nalan Ruyue finished eating the last radish and said with a wink of beautiful eyes.

Xiaolan pouted, the taste of the young lady was still so strange after so many years, so she had to get up and walk to the stall to take out a small purse with a delicate pattern from her waist, and asked, "Boss, how much?"

"10 Karui. ”

Gu Bei noticed the two small words embroidered on the purse in the handmaid's hand, "Nalan".

Although it was small, it was observed by the sharp-eyed him.

He reached out and accepted the ten Karui coins, but the corner of his eye remained on the delicate purse.

If he guessed correctly, these two people were from the royal family of the Aurantium Empire, because the surname Nalan was only qualified for them.

Not to mention that no one in her Qi realm would be her opponent in this small place, and she was not willing to provoke such a huge empire.

"Your food is delicious, could you please ask your name?"

At this time, Nalan Ruyue stood up and wiped a trace of oil stains on her red lips with a tissue.

"My name is Ji Lu, and it is a great honor to be appreciated by the guests. ”

The corners of Gu Bei's mouth lifted slightly, and he casually broke a name to fool him, because he really didn't want to deal with these royal people.
