My restaurant connects to the demon realm, and I've become incredibly wealthy!

Chapter 60 Calligraphy and Painting
Dong Chen'an shuddered. He dared not speak to Old Master Huo like that, for fear that the old man would drag him to the battlefield to test his courage.

He just enjoys doing business; he has no desire to be a military general.

Old Master Huo glared at Old Master Dong. "What we say is none of your business! Just tell me if you're interested in the painting this girl has. Give me a straight answer: if you want to buy it, pay more!"

Grandpa Huo smiled as he looked at Bai Hu Yaoyao. He had chatted with the girl for a while and liked her even more.

It's obvious that this girl likes money; even her liking for money makes her seem so well-behaved.

Unlike those so-called ladies of noble families in Kyoto, who are all so fake.

Since this girl likes money, he'll help her get more money.

Old Man Dong has quite a bit of money!
Anyway, they're richer than the Huo family.

Old Master Dong was so angry that he glared at him and exclaimed, "Of course I like this painting! This is a painting by Master Shen Qingshan, a priceless treasure. Especially the seal on this painting, Master Shen actually used a seal in the Great Seal script. Paintings with this kind of seal are very rare to see on the market!"

Shen Qingshan's paintings are very rare, and even the current emperor likes to collect his works.

Most of his paintings on the market are those with small seal script seals, while those with large seal script seals are few and far between.

This makes it even more precious.

Bai Hu Yaoyao never expected Shen Qingshan's paintings to be so valuable. When he said they were valuable, she thought he was just trying to flatter her!

Now that we've determined the painting is valuable, we'll have him paint a few more for her when she gets back.

Then he took out two small jade bottles, each about the size of a palm.

This is the money left for her meals by the people who ate at her restaurant.

"Mr. Dong, do you think this pair of jade vases are valuable?"

The jade bottle heats up when touched and changes color.

As long as you hold it in your hand, it will change color upon contact with the warmth of your hand, and the colors are vibrant and very beautiful.

"Wow! This is a real treasure! It's actually made of color-changing warm jade?"

Mr. Dong was shocked again.

Old Master Huo didn't understand these things. He picked up a small jade bottle and looked at it. The small jade bottle, no bigger than a palm, looked even more delicate and exquisite in his big hand.

"This thing just changes color, what's the big deal?"

Old Master Huo wasn't particularly interested in these literary-looking things, and therefore didn't understand the preciousness of the color-changing warm jade.

Seeing how carelessly he held the jade bottle, Old Master Dong felt a pang of heartache and quickly took the jade bottle from his hands.

To prevent him from accidentally breaking the jade bottle.

"What do you know, you big brute? This is color-changing warm jade, priceless! I know that the only remaining color-changing warm jade in the world is a jade pendant in the hands of the Empress Dowager. She wears it all year round and rarely gets sick while wearing it."

"These two jade vases are far more valuable than the Empress Dowager's jade pendant! They're priceless!"

Mr. Dong held the jade bottle with great affection.

"Girl, I want all of these! How about I give you four million taels of silver?"

Mr. Dong offered the highest price directly.

If this were put at an auction, it would fetch about the same price.

White Fox Yaoyao thought the price was reasonable, "Okay!"

"Alright! Chen An, take the silver notes!"

Old Master Dong directly instructed his grandson.

Dong Chen'an took out a gold note. "Miss, this is a gold note from Huitong Money Exchange. You can go directly to the money exchange to withdraw your money."

"Yes, yes! Girl, we didn't bring that much silver with us when we went out, so we'll have to trouble you to go to the bank to withdraw the money." Old Master Dong said apologetically.

Bai Hu Yaoyao didn't care, as long as she could make money, "It's okay! I'll go get the money."

I've made a fortune again and I'm in a great mood.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Huo Yanchen and his men brought back the plum blossoms.

It filled five large baskets completely.

Having achieved her goal for the day, Bai Hu Yaoyao bid farewell to the group and prepared to return home.

I also took the plum blossoms I picked back with me.

Watching the carriage drive away, Elder Dong also left the manor, as he needed to return to Yunzhou City as soon as possible.

After everyone had left, Old Master Huo turned back to look at his grandson.

He was dissatisfied with everything he looked at. "You brat! We've spent all our savings over the years to buy you this spear! You really should learn how to do business from Yaoyao!"

"That young girl earned so much in such a short time. What can you do besides handle a gun? You're useless!"

Grandpa Huo disliked his grandson so much that he didn't want him anymore.

He turned around and went back to the manor, out of sight, out of mind.

Huo Yanchen: ······
Would you call this an undeserved disaster?
He has absolutely no business sense, okay?
This is like asking a grown man to learn embroidery from a woman—isn't that making things difficult for him?
White Fox Yaoyao sat in the carriage, opening the curtain to look at the scenery along the way.

Apart from the occasional passing carriage, the surrounding area was covered in thick snow.

Judging from the direction the carriages left, they must be people who came to attend the auction and are now leaving Peach Blossom Town.

"Miss, we've arrived at the restaurant." The coachman took down the stool and placed it on the ground, then helped her down from the carriage.

The white fox, Yaoyao, stepped down from the carriage. Seeing that it was getting late, she said, "Thank you for bringing me back! Please move these plum blossoms into the backyard!"

"It's a girl."

The coachman helped her carry the plum blossoms she had picked into the restaurant, and after everything was settled, it got dark.

"Miss, the plum blossoms have been placed, so I'll take my leave now." The coachman drove the carriage away from the town.

As Baihu Yaoyao opened the door, the warmth of the room rushed out.

It's still more comfortable and warm at home.

If she hadn't been wearing the bead that the black dragon gave her to keep warm when she went to Old Master Huo's place today, she would have been freezing.

Her current body is particularly sensitive to the cold.

"I wonder how Black Dragon and the others are doing? They haven't come for many days."

White Fox Yaoyao couldn't help but mutter to herself.

Not only have Black Dragon and his group not come for a long time, but Shen Wuyou and his group have also not come for a long time.

What she didn't know was that Can Wuyou and the others were forced to stay at the academy to study.

Black Dragon was tasked with helping Feng Jin find materials to forge weapons.

The materials for forging weapons are extremely hard to find, which is why I haven't had time to come here.

Bai Hu Yaoyao didn't have time to care whether they came or not; she was heavily pregnant and it was very inconvenient for her.

I ate something as soon as I got back, and then fell asleep as soon as I got back to my room.

Just after midnight, Ye Zhi and Mo Yu arrived at the restaurant.

The restaurant was quiet.

"The young mistress must be resting again, right?"

"Yes, we should keep watch over this restaurant tonight."

The two exchanged a glance and then got to work.

They all learned a lot of human dishes from the white fox Yaoyao.

If someone comes to eat, they can handle it perfectly well.

Monster clan.

Mingyuan chased after a dark figure into the deep mountains, then flashed and blocked the figure's path.

"You guys still won't give up!"

He flung out countless ice spikes, which pierced the dark figure.

Ah!
The smoke from the shadowy painting disappeared.

At this moment, Dong Lijue appeared, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, and he walked with a slight stagger.

"Fortunately, we didn't let those dark demons go back to report. I think you should stay away from Yaoyao for the time being."

Some time ago, when he went to the demon clan from Yao Yao's restaurant, he discovered the aura of a dark demon.

He had been tracking those people for days and hadn't gone to the restaurant to look for Yaoyao.

He feared the Dark Demon would follow him and see Yao Yao.

It just so happened that Mingyuan stayed with Yaoyao during that time, otherwise he wouldn't have felt comfortable tracking the Dark Demon.

His injury was also the work of the Dark Demon.
