Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the Second Prince wrote an IOU on the spot for Xu Que.

The Second Prince needed to prepare a harem of 3,000 beauties and a mansion full of gold and silver. If he was unable to comply, all assets under him would have to be transferred to Xu Que as compensation.

Xu Que was very satisfied and accepted the IOU, grinning from ear to ear. "Do your best, Second Fatty!" he said emphatically. "I’ll wait for the good news tomorrow!"

After that, he turned and walked away.

Since he had already finished acting tough, he had to leave in a cool manner so as to leave an unforgettable impression and draw the respect of others.

But when Xu Que turned to leave, he saw Buttface standing beside the pot of oil and working with the stinky tofu, similar to what Xu Que had been doing when cooking them. Butfface wore a smug look and seemed to be in a good mood!

"Buttface, what are you doing? You’re going to steal food again, right?" Xu Que immediately furrowed his brows and walked over.

Buttface had a clear conscience this time and was now bold and confident. He was irritated by Xu Que’s accusation and replied confidently, "this deity doesn’t need to steal! I’ve a part in this thing too!"

"What do you mean?" Xu Que was startled and lowered his head to look at the pot. Immediately, his eyes stared hard at what was inside.

There were pieces of dark, sausage-shaped things floating in the pot. And after being fried, they had become black and hard. They were not stinky tofu at all. Moreover, they exuded a stinkier odor than before.

That sausage shaped thing was dark and long. Xu Que thought that maybe it had been freshly created.

Xu Que wanted to scream and swear. It looked like f*cking authentic dog poop!

Xu Que instantly stared at Buttface. "What the hell did you put inside?"

Buttface replied smugly, "this deity has put something inside that your original concoction cannot compare to! It is my treasured collection that has lasted at least 10,000 years. It has a strong smell and definitely tastes good! Anyway, this deity has decided that from now onwards, you have to give me 20 percent of the profits for every bowl you sell."

Xu Que’s lips twitched. Buttface had really thought that Xu Que was making a pot of sh*t!

This f*cking stupid dog is really an idiot! he cussed in his head.

This is too sick! Buttface’s 10,000-year-old poop is now inside the pot, no wonder the original smell has suddenly become more nauseating!

Looking at Buttface frying the poop with a complacent expression, Xu Que was tongue-tied for a moment as he was at a complete loss as to what to say.

"It’s alright, it’s alright, since you went to such lengths as to take out your 10,000-year-old collection, it would be too shameless of me to fight with you for the taels of silver," said Xu Que, waving his hand. "You can have them all. The money’s all yours!"

"Yo, I didn’t realise that you were actually quite a reasonable boy. Fine then, since you don’t want a share in the profits, this deity won’t force you."

Buttface was thrilled. He turned to the crowd and started selling his stinky poop. "Come, come, come, everybody come and take a look! Exploding Heavens Faction delicacy, 10,000 taels per bowl—an authentic, genuine and honest price for everyone!"

When the commoners heard that, their interest in the stinky tofu instantly diminished.

10,000 taels for a bowl? This dog is too evil!

The princes could not stay still now. So what if it was 10,000 taels a bowl for such an amazing thing? Even if it cost 100,000 taels, they would still buy it!

Although this thing was foul-smelling, they were convinced that this was a rare treasure. According to what the Seventh Princess had said and the strange behavior of the Elder from Sky Incense Valley, the stinky tofu tasted good and could increase their Soul Strength!

There were hardly any treasures that could increase Soul Strength now. Anything that could increase Soul Strength, even by a tiny bit, had an exorbitant price. It had reached a state where cultivators were willing to pay, but there was simply no supply.

Therefore, when they found out that the dish could increase their Soul Strength, even if it tasted like shit, they would not hesitate to eat it in big mouthfuls.

"This prince wants a bowl!"

"Give this prince a bowl too!"

"And this prince as well, one bowl!"

The princes walked over to Buttface. The Second Prince even rushed over to be the first in line.

...

Xu Que was trying very hard to suppress his laughter, so he looked as if he was smiling away. This was because he knew that Buttface would definitely be beaten up very soon!

Finally he managed to control his smile and walked over to the woman who was the stall owner. "Lady, the money’s all yours. In future, you can take care of your child at home without worrying about money. There’s going to be a fight here soon so you can stop doing business now, just hurry up and go back home!"

As the woman listened to him speak, she noticed a couple of gold ingots in her money bag. She was so frightened that she kept shaking her head to refuse Xu Que’s offer.

Xu Que unveiled his captivating smile once again and said, "just take them, I still have the gold and silver that the Second Prince promised me. These few ingots of gold are nothing. Hurry and go now!"

"Thank... thank you, young master!" The woman suddenly looked shy and nodded lightly. Then, after a pause, she spoke softly, "young master, tonight... if you have time, you can come to the east of the city. At the end of the Vermillion Bird Street, the fourth house, you will find me!"

When she finished speaking, her face was flushed red. She carried her child and ran away. It was as if she was extremely shy and embarrassed!

In fact, she had never thought that she would be so bold as to say such a thing to a young man that she had just met. However, she had been unable to hold back the feelings that she felt in her heart. When she saw Xu Que’s smiling face, she could not stop her heart from fluttering!

After her husband had passed away a few years ago, she had been all alone whilst caring for her son wholeheartedly.

In short, she was only a mortal, an ordinary woman. Since Xu Que had all the added charm effects switched on and had also treated her so nicely, how would she ever be able to resist him?

Xu Que was dumbfounded as well. Looking at the woman who had disappeared into the maze of streets, he could not help but touch his face and exclaim in his heart—wow, I’m actually so good-looking that my every gesture and movement can drive girls crazy. Even young married women throw themselves at me...

"So Young Master Xu is such a romantic, carefree and cool person!"

At this time, a crisp voice was heard—the Seventh Princess.

With a veil covering her face, she smiled and looked at Xu Que. Apparently, she had heard what the woman had said to Xu Que earlier!

"Seventh Princess, you’ve misunderstood," replied Xu Que in a righteous manner with a wave of his hand. "I’ve a pure heart and few desires. The mother and son looked pitiful, so I helped them out and harbor no other thoughts."

"Oh, so that’s how it is... seems like I thought too much about it. Young Master Xu, I hope you are not offended!" The Seventh Princess smiled apologetically. She now had a better impression of Xu Que!

She was intelligent and could tell that the mother and son did not have an easy life. Xu Que had helped them by teaching the woman how to grill chicken wings. In future, that woman would be able to use her grilling skills to earn money herself!

’Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime’. She understood this saying very well.

"It’s fine, I’m already used to it. After all, to love the world and love all beings is not an easy thing. I even composed a song on this: Love really needs courage to face all the gossips and lies, if you... eh, eh..." She coughed. "My apologies, I went out of tune!"

"Pfft!"

The Seventh Princess chuckled and looked at Xu Que with her beautiful eyes. "Young Master Xu seems to be a witty person," said the princess softly. "Why don’t we go to a teahouse for a cup of tea and talk for a while?"

"Uh, drink tea? Forget it, I still have more important things to do, I don’t really have time for tea!"

"Oh? What’s the matter, Young Master Xu? Is there anything I can help with?"

"Come to think of it, I really do need your help. May I know how to get to the east of the city and reach the fourth house at the end of the Vermillion Bird Street?"
