My spirit appeared on the road to exile, and I was treated as an ancestor.

Chapter 27 Supermarket Disturbances
Having received his grandfather's permission, Lu Xingyao hurriedly carried a bamboo basket to distribute chicken legs to everyone under the cover of night. Afraid of running out, he first put a bag in his own pocket, since it was so cold that it would keep some warmth in his pocket.

Seeing him cautiously running to one person after another, the Lu family members craned their necks, some even rubbing their hands together, their hearts pounding with excitement, wondering what the gods had prepared for them tonight... the little piece of meat in the yellow leather bag from before?
Or should I choose soft, white steamed buns?

A round rice bowl stuffed with meat?

Or are they still fragrant dumplings?

There were many guesses, but when the Lu family members received the chicken leg, they were dumbfounded: "?"

They swallowed hard. Was this... their last meal?

Gu Xingzhao was amused by their reaction. Considering that Lin Ting was the only one at the supermarket, he decided not to linger there too long and left after telling Lu Qing.

They looked at the chicken leg in their hands, reluctant to eat it, thinking that the longer they looked at it, the happier they would be, since divine intervention was rare, and chicken legs were even rarer.

Lu Yang swallowed hard. He couldn't even remember what meat tasted like anymore, but he'd finally lost some weight recently, and his wife didn't dislike him as much as before…

Thinking of this, he reluctantly handed the two chicken legs to Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu herself had two chicken drumsticks. When she saw her husband handing her a drumstick, she was surprised.

Lu Yang genuinely wanted to take this opportunity to lose weight, to make his wife happy, and also to make his daughter feel closer to him as her father. "I ate some pancakes earlier, you two can have these chicken legs."

Ms. Xu's suspicious gaze lingered on her husband for a long time. She knew that he always loved to eat and would taste any food he came across to check its saltiness, but these past few days he hadn't eaten anything and looked thinner.

“You Tang is too young to eat this much.”

Lu Yang was taken aback, "Then you..."

Madam Xu: "If you faint from hunger, your father will be worried, and the child will not feel good either."

Even though the chicken leg was refused, Lu Yang smiled foolishly. His wife must be concerned about him to say that!

She never uses the children as a topic of conversation.

Lu Youtang was chewing on a delicious chicken leg when she looked up at her mother and father, thinking to herself, "My father is so good to my mother."

After dividing up all the chicken legs, Lu Xingyao nestled next to his third uncle, took out his two large chicken legs, took a bite, and found the meat fragrant, juicy, and tender. The food from our ancestors was just so delicious!

At this moment, Lu Xingyao had completely lost all his aloof and noble demeanor. He sat cross-legged, eating a chicken leg, and struck up a conversation with Lu Xingyan, who was chewing slowly beside him, "Third Uncle, what do you think our ancestor looked like?"

Lu Xingyan recalled the voice he had heard. Judging from the voice alone, the person seemed to be in their twenties, yet they were someone who had cultivated and ascended to immortality…

"He must be an even more refined and elegant old man than our grandfather!"

Lu Xingyan: "..."

Lu Xingyao said with certainty, "His hair and beard are gray, and maybe even his clothes are white."

As he said this, he had already sketched out in his mind the image of an elegant and otherworldly old immortal with white hair and a beard.

Lu Xingyan didn't speak, he just smiled.

"Third Uncle, what are you laughing at?"

“You are right. You must be an even more refined and venerable old sage than my father.”

Lu Xingyao gave his third uncle a knowing look.

At this moment, the old immortal Gu Xingzhao returned to the modern world. Before he even went downstairs, he heard a commotion downstairs, mixed with vulgar curses.

"I don't want any of this! This supermarket is just trying to rip us off, you heartless boss, give us our money back right now!"

Lin Ting's eyes were cold. "Once the goods are sold, there are no returns or exchanges." Li Yong grabbed Lin Ting by the collar. "What are you yelling about, you little brat? Get that woman out here and give me my money back! Do you hear me?!"

Lin Ting remained adamant, saying, "It can't be refunded."

Lin Ting's calm tone enraged Li Yong, who swung his fist at Lin Ting's face, yelling, "Damn it! You're asking for it!"

The punch was extremely powerful; Lin Ting's lip was cut, and he almost fell to the ground. His eyes darkened, and his fist clenched tightly under his sleeve, veins bulging.

Li Yong spat on the ground, "A pretty boy like you dares to talk back to me?"

Their shouts and threats scared away all the other customers in the supermarket.

Gu Xingzhao rushed downstairs and saw this scene. Just as Li Yong rushed over and grabbed Lin Ting by the collar, about to hit her again, he immediately shouted to stop him, "Stop!"

Upon seeing her appear, Li Yong released his grip on Lin Ting's collar. "Quickly give me a refund! The woman in my family is so foolish; she bought this pile of junk!"

Gu Xingzhao recognized the other party as the owner of the fruit shop next door, who didn't seem like a kind person. "Bring the goods and receipt intact, and I'll give you a refund right now."

Li Yong frowned. "Receipt?"

He turned to look at his wife, who had already hidden outside the store, and said, "Why aren't you giving me the receipt yet?"

Because of nervousness, the woman stammered, "It's...at home, I'll go get it right now!"

Gu Xingzhao subtly pulled Lin Ting behind her, her gaze towards Li Yong changed, and she picked up her phone to send a message.

Lin Ting, standing behind her, said in a hoarse voice, "Sister, I'm fine."

Li Yong sneered, his gaze sweeping over the two men for a while before clicking his tongue. "Young people these days really know how to have fun. They're nothing like we were back in the day. I wonder which honest guy will end up taking their place."

Lin Ting was furious upon hearing this, "What nonsense are you spouting!"

Gu Xingzhao held Lin Ting's hand tightly, afraid that he would rush over and fight with the other person, even though the other person's eyes disgusted her.

"Shut your filthy mouth if you want a refund."

Gu Xingzhao's tone sounded weak and utterly threatening to Li Yong, but in order to get his money back, he didn't say anything more.

Soon, the receipt arrived. Gu Xingzhao checked the items against the receipt one by one, his brows furrowed.

The woman beside him looked nervous, following behind Li Yong, and looked at Gu Xingzhao with pleading eyes.

Li Yong impatiently slapped the cashier's counter. "How much more of my time are you going to waste?"

Gu Xingzhao: "There's also a rice cooker. Bring the rice cooker here, and I'll refund your money right now."

With a "Pah!" Li Yong seemed to have heard a hilarious joke. "The rice cooker was won in a raffle, not sold. Why should I give it to you?"

He's determined to take advantage of this.

The woman chuckled and looked at Gu Xingzhao, "Sister, please be kind and give us a refund. That rice cooker wasn't worth much, and besides, I've already used it, so I really can't give it back to you."

"Anyway, you can't give these used items to anyone else after you take them back!"

The woman's face still bore the marks of her husband's slaps, swollen and bruised. Clearly, Li Yong had tried to take advantage of her. If the rice cooker was returned, the woman would likely face another beating when she got home.

Li Yong sneered and urged Gu Xingzhao, "What use is a broken rice cooker to you? Hurry up and return the money to me."
