Chapter 786 Could she have a crush on me? (22)

Yun Jianxian subconsciously gripped the magic sword in his arms, forcing a smile as he said, "Um, no, I don't think so."

"Wait a minute, I have a good memory, I must have seen you before... Never mind, I can't remember, it doesn't matter. Let's go back quickly."

Seeing that the other party had stopped questioning him, Yun Jianxian breathed a sigh of relief.

After walking a few steps, she turned around and said to the two of them, "Excuse me, I'd like to ask if there's anywhere nearby where I can stay for free?"

As soon as the question was asked, Yun Jianxian sensed something was off about the two inspectors' gazes.

One inspector took out a jade slip, while the other drew out a magical artifact. The two looked at Yun Jianxian with serious expressions, and the tense atmosphere made Yun Jianxian nervous as well.

Did I say something wrong?

"You're not a homeless vagrant, are you?"

Even in the lower realms, someone as destitute as the former Lord Mink still needs their own doghouse to serve as their home.

If you don't even have a doghouse, then you're a vagrant.

The lower realm naturally rejects vagrants. A vagrant means instability, and those who are displaced are more likely to commit crimes and are dangerous elements in society.

Moreover, vagrants cannot create wealth and have no way to make money off them. Once discovered, they must be sent to special places for reform and education.

These are all basic, fundamental pieces of knowledge, but Yun Jianxian had just fallen into the abyss and knew nothing about them. One question exposed his true nature.

Although he was exposed, the instincts of a Foundation Establishment sword cultivator remained.

Moreover, she had sold most of her magical artifacts, but her original magical sword was still there. This magical sword had undergone more than ten refinements and was already connected to her energy channels.

Unless she dies, the sword cannot be separated from her, and therefore cannot be sold.

Sensing the hostility between the two, Yun Jianxian instinctively wanted to make a move, but a sudden voice rang out, interrupting Yun Jianxian's actions.

"Little Nine, Little Ten, what are you doing over there?"

Looking in the direction of the sound, Yun Jianxian saw a girl eating candy standing not far away, waving to the two inspectors.

That older woman was heavily made up, her face covered in colored powder, making her look neither human nor ghost; she was a complete oddball.

The woman next to her, with long black hair, long legs, and a good figure, looked alright, but her makeup was equally bizarre and messy, making it hard to look at her directly.

Although it seemed bizarre, the two inspectors actually became respectful.

One of the thinner men bowed respectfully and said with a smile, "Master Mink, Roe Deer, why aren't you two enjoying yourselves on the rooftop? What are you doing here?"

"It's not fun," Mink said with dissatisfaction. "They said we needed to put on makeup, so we did. But when we went inside, I saw that none of them were wearing makeup either. What's going on?"

"For rich people, makeup means minor cosmetic procedures, not something like this," the chubby inspector said with a smile, stepping forward and handing a handkerchief to the two men. "Here, wipe yourselves clean. What a mess you look in! Didn't they laugh when they saw you?"

"They laughed a few times, but were immediately kicked out."

"Wow, that's amazing!"

"Of course." Lord Mink proudly puffed out his chest. "Who are we? We're the managers of ground promotion and advertising for 'Feijian'! They all want to advertise in 'Feijian' now. That's real money. How can they not do everything they can to please us?"

"You're so cocky. Don't forget about your brothers once you take off."

"I won't forget, I brought you some snacks, please eat them."

The above gathering was a party to get closer to Diao Ye and other people related to "Fei Jian". Unfortunately, Diao Ye came from a humble background and was not used to it.

After dealing with the situation for a while with the roe deer, the sable couldn't stand the atmosphere inside any longer and escaped with the deer. Just then, he saw his former companions, Xiao Jiu and Xiao Shi. The sable spread a tablecloth on the ground and took out various snacks and foods from his pocket, immediately covering the entire tablecloth.

The hospitality this time was quite high-class; the food served wasn't just a paste, but real, authentic food.

The chicken, duck, fish, and meat dishes were a feast for the eyes and the palate. The three plates of roast duck were dripping with oil, and the white pancakes and sweet bean sauce were placed in front of the four people. It looked delicious.

However, none of the four knew how to eat it, so they simply didn't care and just put it in their mouths first.

Dipping lotus leaf pancakes in sweet bean sauce, Lord Mink said as he ate, "I have to say, although it's boring up there, the food is quite delicious. However, the flavor is a bit weak; it's not as satisfying as what you'd expect."

"Your life is ruined by the fact that you opened your eyes," the roe deer said with dissatisfaction. "That stuff is so oily and salty, how could it not taste good?"

Looking up, she saw Yun Jianxian drooling beside her and waved, saying, "Hey you, it's fate that we met, we're brothers now. What are you standing there for? Come and eat."

"Ah, may I?" Yun Jianxian swallowed and asked.

"Why are you being so polite with us?" Mink said, munching on the crispy roast duck skin. "Come here and tell us what you've come here for."

Yun Jianxian hadn't eaten for several days and had been surviving on tea.

She looked down on the food from the lower realms; the greasy stuff floating on top of red oil made her nauseous just by looking at it, let alone putting it into her stomach.

Seeing the food she had eaten before, she hesitated for a long time, but finally couldn't resist the temptation of roast duck and sat down cross-legged.

With practiced ease, Yun Jianxian dipped the roast duck in sauce, added a scallion to the pancake, rolled up the pancake, and swallowed it in one bite, tears immediately streaming down his face.

"It's delicious... the roast duck is so delicious," she cried. "It's so delicious."

The four men, including Lord Diao, were dumbfounded.

They exchanged a glance, then mimicked Yun Jianxian's movements, rolling up the roast duck and putting it in their mouths. Their eyes lit up simultaneously.

After a few bites, Mink grabbed a roll for himself, ate it, and nodded in satisfaction: "Hey, this is amazing! This thing is actually eaten like this. Why don't those people eat something this delicious?"

"I'm tired of it," Yun Jianxian muttered. "Roast duck is too greasy, and if you don't eat it properly, the sweet bean sauce will drip all over your hands, which doesn't look good in public."

"Then why display it? Isn't that a waste?" Lord Mink asked, puzzled.

"It's meant to be wasted. Its only value is to be wasted, to show off the owner's wealth and power. Many things at the event are for looking at only, not for eating, otherwise it would be breaking the rules."

"Such delicious food is being wasted? Are all upper-class people stupid?" the man said, rolling up a roast duck in his robe.

"I'm not stupid. It's a form of social etiquette. If you don't do it, people will look down on you."

Mink looked at the rooftop, then at the roast duck.

Then she shrugged and said, "So what if you look down on me? As long as it tastes good. Save half for me, I'll take it back to Xiao Xu."

"got it!"

They devoured the remaining roast duck in a whirlwind. Mink Lord, picking his teeth, patted Yun Jianxian on the shoulder and said, "Not bad. Got somewhere to go? If not, come back with me and be my underling."

Lord Diao was just saying it casually, but Sword Immortal Yun took it seriously.

Looking at the mink, she asked excitedly, "Really? Can I stay at your place?"

At that moment, Lord Mink felt as if he had made a mistake.

Could this person have a crush on me?
