Chapter 1071 - 29: Want to See You

Jinshui Town isn’t big, but there are quite a few breakfast stalls, three to be precise. There’s one selling noodles, one selling buns and mantou, and another selling soy milk, fried dough sticks, and tofu pudding. Tianmiao sniffed the aroma, hesitated about which to eat first, and finally decided joyfully to eat at all of them!

She first went to the noodle stall and ordered a bowl of beef noodles, then said to the boss, "Boss, when I’m almost done with this bowl, make me a bowl of shredded chicken noodles, and when I’m almost done with that, make me a bowl of wontons."

"Sure, no problem." The boss quickly started preparing Tianmiao’s first bowl of beef noodles.

Tianmiao sat in her seat waiting for the noodles, while a plump little cat purred on her lap, resembling a black ball.

The boss swiftly served Tianmiao her noodles. Looking at the large slices of beef in the bowl, Tianmiao couldn’t help but praise the boss’s generosity. After Tianmiao finished the beef noodles and just as the boss was about to bring the shredded chicken noodles, the arrest officer came with a group of people.

The boss saw the group approaching his stand and felt a bit alarmed. Did he do something wrong?

"Master, was it you who got rid of the monster?" The arrest officer clasped his hands in respect as he addressed Tianmiao. Beside the arrest officer stood the three people who had been rescued, looking slightly better than yesterday. Supported by others, they came here with the arrest officer to find Tianmiao. The three bowed deeply to her in gratitude, but Tianmiao just waved her hand.

"It was a small deed." Tianmiao nodded lightly. Seeing the large crowd gathering, she just wanted to dismiss them quickly so she could quietly enjoy her breakfast. There were still two more places to try.

"It’s like this, master. We offered a reward for the monster but never got any results. Now that you’ve resolved it, could you come back with us to claim it?" The arrest officer’s tone was full of respect.

"No need. I need to take the monster’s corpse with me, but you can take a look. As for the reward, use forty percent to treat the locals to a meal as they must have been frightened these days, and the remaining sixty percent should be shared equally among those three who were captured by the monster, so they can recuperate well." With that, Tianmiao brought out a giant mushroom.

Everyone gasped at the enormous mushroom on the ground.

"It’s poisonous, so don’t get too close or touch it," Tianmiao added before turning to the boss. "Boss, where are my shredded chicken noodles?"

"Coming right up." The boss snapped back to reality, now looking at Tianmiao with eyes full of admiration and respect. He quickly added a chicken drumstick to the shredded chicken noodles before serving it to Tianmiao.

"A drumstick?" Tianmiao asked, looking at the drumstick on top of the noodles.

"It’s my treat, master. We’re grateful for you ridding us of the monster," the boss said with a cheerful smile.

"Thanks. Cook the wontons for me and go have a look at the mushroom," Tianmiao said considerately, noticing the boss’s curious side glances at the giant mushroom.

"Right away." After quickly preparing the wontons and serving them to Tianmiao, the boss joined the gathering crowd.

People surrounded the giant mushroom, chattering away. Their initial fear had turned into curiosity and excitement.

"Wow, can mushrooms turn into monsters too?"

"It’s so big, wonder how many years it cultivated."

"The mushroom is so brightly colored, that’s why the master says it’s poisonous. So, this mushroom can’t be eaten."

"Yeah, can’t eat it. What a pity."
