Volume 3 Bao Ling Prefecture Chapter 78 A Little Kindness
The human beings present, including Li Wuchang's companions, were all dumbfounded, they knew what the consequences of disrespecting the Patriarch were, but when it really happened in front of them, it still made everyone stunned, coupled with Li Wuchang's seemingly drunken words, it was difficult not to speculate that the Patriarch had sided with the alien race, so although they thought that it was inappropriate for Li Wuchang to do this, they did not dissuade him in time, and let him say the thoughts they did not dare to say in their hearts.
"Alright, Dark Orange. Mu Chen spoke, she had to stop, and before she got up, she knocked Li Wuchang unconscious with one punch.
"He's right, it's all true, but I want to tell you that we hired have fought for decades for the general stability of humanity, and don't think that he has worked hard because he is your kind, and don't take it for granted that we can come back from the dead, we need your support to some extent, but we can live without you. Although they had some misunderstandings with you before, but your unreasonable attitude of rejecting foreign races is the key, if you don't accept them, I will take them with the girl to live in a state city that can accept them, the world is big, I don't believe that everyone thinks the same as you. β
These words were naked threats, and Mu Chen was clearly telling the people present that if they did not accept the Spirit Clan, the Patriarch would leave, and use this as a bargaining chip to coerce everyone to change their concepts.
The guests in the hall were on pins and needles, and according to the current situation, no one dared to speak anymore, and they wanted to continue eating or leaving, but they were afraid that it would turn into a silent protest, so everyone had to bow their heads and remain silent, waiting for the atmosphere to ease up a little, and then make the next step.
"It's not good for me to disturb everyone's interest in eating, so this meal will be counted in my account. Please also tell everyone what I said, I, Mu Chen, am willing to vouch for the Spirit Clan, as long as you give them a chance, they will definitely be able to change your prejudices, there is no such thing as grabbing land, and accepting them will only make human society safer and more harmonious. β
Everyone nodded under pressure, but no one had the heart to promote the Spirit Clan, they just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible so as not to burn themselves.
"Boss, carry him down and serve us food quickly. β
The boss asked the man to carry Li Wuchang down, cleaned up the overturned meals, bowed and apologized to the Patriarch and Mu Chen again and again, and finally entered the back kitchen and brought up the dishes that had been prepared one by one.
The two square tables were full of all kinds of delicacies, but no one moved, and after what had just happened, they lost their appetite.
"Whew... Let's eat, don't let such a small thing affect the mood. β
"Mu Chen, if you do this, but they..."
"I gave Quan Yuren a chance, since he didn't cooperate, then follow my method. Don't say anything, eat, eat. β
After answering Chunyue's question, Mu Chen began to move the chopsticks, and the rest of the people also cooperated to pick up the chopsticks, but the hand holding the vegetables was always hesitant, and there was no intention of eating at all.
"Coco, do you understand, you will often encounter what happened just now in the future, or even more serious, today I am here, I can speak for you, if it is you in the future, you can avoid it, don't resist, leave a handle for human beings. And you sisters, here, the girl and I have an identity and fame, so no matter what they think in their hearts, they will bow their heads in the end, but you can't, if you encounter the situation in the morning in the future, don't be strong, and stay away from disputes is the best policy. β
Jia Yue uncharacteristically did not refute, she saw Mu Chen's hardships and knew that Mu Chen's approach was correct, the Spirit Clan did not have characters like Mu Chen and Qi Luna, and there was no ability to force everyone to accept her, and there was no means to repair the relationship by sincerely compensating for it afterwards, so if everyone hates you, no matter what they do to you, you can only endure it, and if you fight back, you will lose the opportunity to prove that you are cute, and add a new reason to the people who hate you.
"Let's eat, don't think about it anymore, go out into the street and buy two clothes for Coco. β
"Lord Mu Chen, I'll just go back and change it myself, no..."
"What are you afraid of, listen to my arrangement. β
After a quiet meal, the guests at the other tables finally waited for the opportunity and left. When Mu Chen and the others finished eating, only one table remained, and the hall was empty, which was very different from usual.
"Why didn't you leave, aren't you afraid?" Mu Chen deliberately asked the table left behind as he was about to leave.
"Lord Mu Chen, our brother and sister are not afraid of the Spirit Clan, this girl is so beautiful, how can she be a demonic beast?" the young man smiled at Coco.
"Huh, hehe, you..."
"My sister's life was saved by the Patriarch, she is willing to resign for the Spirit Clan, then they are definitely not bad people, I don't understand what those people were afraid of just now, Baoling Prefecture is so big that it can accommodate everyone. β
"You're the first human to not speak ill of me, thank you so much, thank you. Coco ran over excitedly and grabbed the young man's hand, looking at him affectionately, his eyes filled with tears.
"Huh... Eh, I said the legendary sister, my brother is married, and my sister-in-law is fierce. β
Hearing the girl say this, Coco immediately let go of her hand, and the two of them blushed and didn't dare to look at each other.
"Haha, this little girl is amazing, let's go, Coco. β
Everyone left the house, and the boss respectfully sent them to the door, and he didn't turn around and go back until his back was far away.
They walked aimlessly on the street, because of the young man's words, Coco was much more cheerful, and there were still strange stares from all kinds of people on the road, but she forced herself not to hide because she was afraid, if she accidentally looked at someone, just nodded and smiled in response, so that she looked more kind.
Mu Chen stopped at the door of a shop, the store is not small, it is a three-story brick building, through the window on the first floor, there are all kinds of clothes and daily necessities, and there is a woman wandering among the guests busy figure, he looked up at the signboard, then pushed the door in.
With the crisp sound of the bell, the sweet voice of the boss also sounded: "Hello, welcome, what do you want to buy?"
Everyone followed into the door, and the boss nodded to say hello, and from her slightly surprised expression, it could be seen that she recognized Mu Chen and Qi Luna, and also noticed the wings behind Coco, but unlike the others, the eyebrows she raised were quickly replaced by a standard smile, although it was a little deliberate, but she didn't feel rude.
"She's a spirit clan, she has wings on her back, and she can't wear ordinary clothes, can you customize this?"
Seeing that Mu Chen came up so straightforwardly, Chunyue pulled him aside and complained in a low voice: "Mu Chen, how can you say that she is also a girl, do you buy clothes for girls like this, don't get involved." β
"I... She would have been... Huh..."
Before Mu Chen finished speaking, the two sisters pulled Coco away and threw him at the door alone.
When the other customers in the store heard the word Lingclan, they were still selecting goods, and then they looked back and saw Mu Chen and Qi Luna hurriedly smiling, ready to step forward to give a salute, but when they noticed Coco, their pace slowed down significantly, and finally everyone bypassed her travel route and came to Qi Luna and Mu Chen.
"Patriarch, who is sheβ" Someone asked Chiluna about it, but she was afraid of being rude, so she stopped talking.
"Coco, come, this someone wants to know you. β
Mu Chen called Coco back and introduced it to the person who asked the question.
"Hello, my name is Lingxi Coco, I am a spirit clan, from the Spirit Tree City in the Giant Crocodile Forest. β
"The Spirits... How dare you... Uh-huh... You... Okay..."This person wanted to say something disrespectful, but after looking at Mu Chen and Qi Luna beside him, he held back his original words. Then he said a few words to Coco and left the store in a hurry.
"Coco, what do you think of this?" said Junyue with a long dress.
"The back of this dress can't be changed, if you like it, we can re-tailor it for you. β
"Really, you don't care about my identity and are willing to sell me clothes?"
"You're a guest, I'm here to serve guests, why don't I sell to you?"
"I am the Spirit..."
"Boss, then according to what you said, we will order it, where to measure it?" Chunyue stopped Coco and held her by her side.
The rest of the guests didn't dare to say anything in the face of Mu Chen and Qi Luna's pressure, but when they heard that the boss was going to order clothes for the Spirit Clan, they still instinctively raised their heads, looked at the boss, showed a disgusted expression, shook their heads slightly, and then looked back at the items in their hands.
The boss took the two of them upstairs, told the tailor to come down, and the guests lost their curiosity, settled the account with a straight face, and left without looking back.
Jiayue went upstairs to find Chunyue and Coco after shopping on the first floor, Mu Chen looked out the window by the door in a daze, Qiluna and Mocheng waited quietly in place, the boss stood behind the counter and counted the bills, the store maintained a proper atmosphere like this, no one deliberately and no one cared.
After more than ten minutes, the three of them came down from the second floor, Jiayue paid the money, left the address, and was about to turn around and leave, when Coco suddenly asked the boss: "Thank you for treating me as an ordinary customer, but I am obviously a spirit clan, why are you..."
"I grew up living in the village around the ghoul tomb, and the wings were an indispensable item for us, when I was a child, I always thought you were just legends, but today when I saw the wings behind you, I realized that you have been protecting us with your body, and the person who can drive away the monster with light is definitely not a bad person, as for whether it is an alien race, I don't care. Because of you, our cursed home has become safe for generations, and I want to thank you. β
The boss finished saying this with a smile on his face, Coco was already in tears, and even Chunyue on the side was sobbing, thinking that he was just a decent businessman, but he didn't expect that there would be such a past with the Spirit Clan, which made Coco's wounded heart soothed again, and his emotions were also vented.
A lunch, a shopping, two ordinary scenes of life, but Coco strengthened the confidence to stay under the eyes of everyone, and she believed that this little kindness would be contagious to everyone, so that they would finally accept their own race.
