The Villain's Counterattack

Chapter 557: Marry Baozi Xishi and you will never have to worry about not having buns to eat

"How long are you going to cry?" Just as Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were hugging Fu Jun'er and crying bitterly, a clear and resentful voice sounded behind them. They turned around and saw two figures falling lightly from a high place.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling couldn't help but be stunned. Although it was only a few days, they had formed a deep friendship with Fu Jun'er. However, Kou and Xu at this time were not the lonely and helpless grassroots in the original work. They also had a master. Although they could not see him for many years, they could still follow him. They could live a rich life for a period of time every year, and there were kind people taking care of them on a regular basis.

Although they felt sad at this time, they did not cry to the point of fainting. The two older children just cried bitterly, and their faces covered with snot and tears still looked quite funny. They watched a woman in white and a sloppy old man walking towards them.

The woman in white kicked them away, then stuffed a pill into Fu Jun'er's mouth and slapped her chest with one palm, inhaling and exhaling. Fu Jun'er shuddered slightly due to the pain in her throat, and the pill slid down. The old man tapped her body with his hands, leaving a series of black dots, as many as eighty-one.

Fu Jun'er shuddered, a blush creeping across her pale face. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, who had just gotten up, widened their eyes. They stumbled closer, but were kicked away by the woman in white. Her movements were swift, yet her strength was gentle. The two youngsters, lacking any internal strength, fell but remained unscathed.

"You bitch..." Kou Zhong was about to curse when he was immediately pulled back by Xu Ziling. He looked carefully at the woman in white before him and suddenly said tentatively, "Sister Baozi?"

The woman in white couldn't help but frown when she heard this. She stared at Xu Ziling and said, "Hehe."

Kou Zhong was also a smart man. He knew how powerful they were just from the fact that they were able to catch up with him and then jump down from a high place. He knew that they were powerful and that they were not something that two weak guys like him could handle. Seeing their movements, he knew that they were friends and not enemies, so he calmed down immediately.

"Sister Baozi?" Kou Zhong suddenly pointed at the woman in white and asked, "Could you be the Baozi Xishi Boss Feng that Ling has been thinking about day and night?"

At this point, Kou Zhong winked at Xu Ziling and said, "Didn't you say that if you married Baozi Xishi, you'd never have to worry about having buns to eat? Why did you immediately become so depressed after seeing your Baozi sister? Not yet... Ouch~"

Xu Ziling interrupted Kou Zhong with his elbow and glared at him unhappily. Although both little guys were good-looking, Xu Ziling, with his handsome and elegant appearance, was more popular with girls, so he did more work like asking for buns.

Feng Zhenzhen, the "Steamed Bun Beauty," is a remarkable figure in Yangzhou. A few years ago, she escaped her gambling-addicted father and opened a bun shop in the city. Her business is booming thanks to its delicious flavor and prime location. However, she's also a woman of character. She only makes 50 taels of silver per day, stopping sales once she reaches that point and letting her employees practice making them. All the buns she makes are given to beggars.

The guys in the bun shop are no ordinary guys, all of them are experts. Half of them come from the Shilong Dojo, so they can be considered local tyrants. Even the many gangs causing trouble were suppressed. Feng Zhenzhen was also called the Baozi Xishi by the gossipers because of her beauty and kindness.

As the reputation of the bun shop grew, the daily sales of 50 taels could not meet the needs of many wealthy people. Feng Zhenzhen opened several branches, each of which also only sold 50 taels a day. The rest of the time, they only made low-quality buns to give to beggars. However, they were also particular about who they gave alms to, only giving to the elderly and children, not to the young and strong.

Feng Zhenzhen is a woman of both beauty and wisdom. In order to prevent people from taking advantage of the situation, she only allows young and old beggars to finish eating on the spot before leaving, and the number of people is limited. Only a few people can be exceptions, among whom Xu Ziling is a representative. Not only can he take the buns away, but some of the buns he gets are also exquisitely made by Feng Zhenzhen herself.

Kou Zhong also benefited a lot from this. It was not Xu Ziling who said that if he married Feng Zhenzhen, he would be able to eat buns for the rest of his life. It was Kou Zhong himself. Now that he took it out and put it on Xu Ziling, the effect was even better.

Feng Zhenzhen snapped her fingers, causing the two boys to wail with their heads in their hands. Seeing their pitiful appearance, she snorted and said, "You two boys, when something happened, why didn't you go to your sister or head to Taihu Lake to find your master?"

Kou Zhong muttered, "It's not that the time hasn't come yet, I'm afraid... Wait, Sister Baozi, how did you know about our master? It seems that no one in the entire Yangzhou City knows about this. Could it be..."

"Sister is the one sent by Master to secretly look after us?" Xu Ziling asked tentatively, but then quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, we became Master's disciples before Sister opened her bun shop. She had already taken care of us many times before that."

"Young Master Ling is stupid, aren't you? Since Master has connections on Taihu Lake, why can't he also have a base in Yangzhou City?" Kou Zhong reacted quickly, but his eyes were looking in the direction of Fu Jun'er.

Feng Zhenzhen couldn't help but sigh when she saw this. "You two are both smart guys. No wonder you were valued by the master and accepted as his disciples. Bring out the things."

"what?"

"The secret of immortality." Feng Zhenzhen's words made Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling look at each other in surprise.

Feng Zhenzhen snorted and said, "Don't look at me like that. The 'Eternal Life Secret' was originally prepared by the Lord for you. However, this technique is quite mysterious and difficult for ordinary people to successfully practice. The Lord calculated that you two are quite compatible with this technique, but your frail bodies may hinder your practice, so he spent some time to slowly recuperate."

"As for why I kept it with Shilong instead of giving it to you, I don't know. Perhaps I was afraid you two wouldn't treasure it easily, or that you'd show it off and bring disaster upon yourself. Anyway, this technique was originally prepared for you. Apart from this, it's best for you not to practice any other internal skills." Feng Zhenzhen said, "This Grandpa Zhang is a good friend of the Lord, and he's also your guardian in the dark. His martial arts skills are unfathomable. Even Yu Wenhuaji couldn't survive more than ten moves from him."

The sloppy old Taoist finished his practice, stretched lazily and said, "The coming and going of fate is wonderful. Although the old ghost Xiaoyaozi is known to be omnipotent in astronomy, geography, astrology and divination, how can fate be fully predicted? You two boys are human beings, not chess pieces. The appearance of this woman was unexpected. If she had an accident, it would surely leave a sad flaw in your hearts. Fortunately, I, the old Taoist, came not too late and barely saved her life. In another year or two, she will surely recover. But..."

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were overjoyed upon hearing this and hurriedly thanked him. However, the slovenly old Taoist waved his hand and said, "Whether it's life or injury, it's not a big deal. I'm confident I can help. However, I'm not proficient in medicine; that's what your master does for a living. Saving people won't be a problem, but restoring your full martial arts skills will be difficult. Unless you can truly master the Art of Immortality, with the power of immortality, there's still hope."

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other and asked in unison, "Is this really a martial arts secret manual?"

The slovenly old Taoist glanced at them and said, "Do you really think that no one in the world can master the Art of Immortality? Haha, I don't know about others, but your master is definitely an exception. There is no Taoist skill in the world that he cannot master, and the Art of Immortality is no exception."

"If we ask the Master, can we..."

Before Kou Zhong could finish, Feng Zhenzhen interrupted them and said, "No!"

"The Lord is such a man, how could he possibly save a foreign assassin with ulterior motives who only wants to destroy the peace of the Central Plains? It's one thing for Grandpa Zhang to intervene, but the Lord will never do anything, even if you beg him to." Feng Zhenzhen said angrily, "I originally planned to take you to Taihu Lake for a retreat, but now it seems unnecessary. From now on, you will live in seclusion in this valley. When you have mastered the Art of Immortality, you can come out of seclusion. Don't worry about food and drink, my sister will send people to deliver them, and you won't starve to death."

"As for this Goguryeo assassin, I will take her away and prevent her from disturbing your training."

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling: Are you jealous? You must be jealous, right?
