Cold Clouds

"Boss Lin, we found some peppers that taste even better. They should be spiritual creatures that require a harsh environment to grow. Can we plant them in Medicine King Valley?" Fu Xian showed a packet of seeds to Lin Xiaoxiao who came to inspect Wuming Fried Chicken. "Xuan Fu has fainted from the spiciness. Liu Yue is taking care of him."

"There are a few left. Would you like to try some?" Fu Xian took out three peppers from the mustard bag. The wrinkles on the peppers formed a skull pattern.

"Are you sure this tastes good and isn't going to kill you?" Lin Xiaoxiao took the seeds and didn't take the peppers. "I'll plant them in the valley and wait until they grow."

"Boss Lin, you asked us to raise the price of the teriyaki duck leg burger made with spiritual plant ingredients to fifteen low-grade spiritual stones. Some old customers are not happy about it and are telling everyone about it. What should we do?" Yin Chen approached Lin Xiaoxiao with the price list and asked, "We clearly changed the prices on the sixth day of opening the store, and now that it's big, people are nagging us..."

"How much does the raw materials cost?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked after taking a sip of juice.

"Eight low-grade spirit stones." Yin Shao, who was carrying a basket of tomatoes, came over after hearing their conversation.

"You sold twelve low-grade spirit stones before, right? Adjust it to ten," Lin Xiaoxiao leaned on the chair, "Then old customers will have nothing to complain about, and new customers will be satisfied too. It's cheaper than before and it can show your sincerity."

"Boss, the response to the carrot pie is pretty good. Do you want to raise the price?" Li Huan poked his head in from the window. "And the toys for children that come with the meal seem to be out of stock, but the previous supplier has raised the price."

"No need to mention it, make it a seasonal limited edition," Lin Xiaoxiao drank up the juice in the cup, "As for the toys... Yin Chen and Yin Shao, go to Linghuan City to see if there are any willing to cooperate. Lower the price and briefly mention to them that the year-end bonus is the spiritual plants in Yaowang Valley."

"Someone is here to discuss cooperation." Yue He pushed open the door and walked in. Qiannianqi's illness had been cured by Lin Xiaoxiao, so Lin Xiaoxiao asked them to come here to work.

"Whose?" Lin Xiaoxiao was refilling her juice. "We don't need the raw materials, and we have enough funds. No one in this area dares to suppress our business. Could it be that they make toys?"

"Uh... no," Yue He said, "He said he did the advertising himself."

"Are you working in advertising?" Lin Xiaoxiao finished her juice and continued to drink. "Call him in so I can take a look."

"Hello, you are Miss Lin Xiaoxiao who is in the limelight now, right?" A tall man who looked well-dressed walked in. "My name is Luanlin, and I am..."

"Those from the Phoenix tribe, cuff them and take them away," Lin Xiaoxiao threw Xuanming out, "Those who massacred people in two cities, kill them after questioning them."

"How do you know... No, I'm not..." Lin Xiaoxiao stuffed a tomato into Luanlin's mouth and asked Xuanming and Yuehe to take him away.

"Which one is this?" Lin Xiaoxiao pressed her brows and leaned back in the chair.

"Counting the days you didn't come, this is the third time," Liu Yue happened to walk in and said to Luan Lin who was dragged away, "Xuan Fu has woken up and is drinking porridge."

"Sigh... these little villains who were supposed to appear later in the original book are jumping on our faces one by one." Yin Shao put down the basket, leaned against the wall, picked up a tomato and started eating it.

"Generally speaking, sending undercover agents is a good method, but..." Yin Chen also took out a tomato to eat, "It's a pity that everyone here has read the script."

"I hope the Phoenix Clan will continue so that we can become bigger and stronger," Lin Xiaoxiao smiled, "Do you think the Phoenix meat patties are delicious?"

"No, I was watching them talking before, and I couldn't swallow it." Li Huan shook his head with a bad look on his face, and there was more or less resistance on the faces of others.

"Well, actually me too..." Lin Xiaoxiao shrugged, "but I'm really curious."

The others looked at each other.

Indeed, when I was a child watching Journey to the West, I was really curious about the taste of dragon liver and phoenix marrow.

But it feels weird when the other person talks...

"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now," Lin Xiaoxiao clapped her hands, "Lunch break is over, the guests are here."

......

Yu Lan's eyes were gloomy and her clenched hands made a "cracking" sound.

We sent three undercover agents, but they all lost contact. What on earth is going on?!

Who would have thought that the Wanyou Empress Lin Xiaoxiao's methods were so sophisticated...even Luan Lin, who was the best at disguise in the clan, was caught.

"What's going on? The undercover agent was caught again?" Dongfang Ming walked into the Wutong wooden house and saw Yu Lan with a bad look on her face. He wanted to laugh in his heart, but still showed a concerned expression.

"That Wanyou Empress is too difficult to deal with," Yu Lan said in a low voice, "We need to try another approach."

"Could it be because all the people you sent are from the Phoenix tribe? How about sending some people from other tribes?" Dongfang Ming teased the black bird and asked, "How about people from our Golden Crow tribe?"

Yu Lan turned to look at Dongfang Ming, her eyes sparkling: "What do you want to do?"

"If your Phoenix tribe can achieve great things, won't our Golden Crow tribe also benefit from it? Helping you will also be beneficial to us," Dongfang Ming smiled, "What do you think?"

Yu Lan pretended to be thoughtful, and after a long silence, she said, "Okay, but I have to choose the person."

"Okay." Dongfang Ming smiled.

Oh, you can pick whatever you want. It is impossible for the person you pick to disobey me.

Dongfang Ming laughed softly and took a sip of tea.

As the Jinwu clan with the purest bloodline of this generation, the oppression you, an old mixed-up phoenix in the state of transformation, have on my people is not as great as that from me, a Nascent Soul.

Moreover, my Jinwu clan has a secret technique to guarantee loyalty, so just wait and see, you old bastard phoenix!

Yu Lan narrowed her eyes and glanced at Dongfang Ming. Although she didn't know what this guy was thinking, it was better to be prepared.

Let’s try the Black King Palace’s secret technique of mind control on you, the Golden Crow clan, first. This is the supreme honor bestowed upon you by the future Demon King.

......

Tang Zhen couldn't help but laugh out loud as he looked at Lu Yiyi lying unconscious on the ground in front of him.

Damn kid, he actually dared to speak well of Lin Xiaoxiao in front of me, he must be tired of living.

But we can't kill them yet, because they will be useless if they die.

"Just become my puppet," Tang Zhen stretched out his hand to cover Lu Miyi's face. The black mist gradually emanated from his hand and poured into Lu Miyi's brain through his ears and nose. "For the Black King Palace, for me! For Lingxia Sect to dominate the world!"

Lu Yiyi slowly opened his eyes, a trace of confusion flashed across his eyes, and then gradually his expression came back.

"Good boy, what are you going to do?" Tang Zhen put his hand on Lu Yiyi's shoulder and spoke with a smile.

"I will...work hard for Lingxia Sect," Lu Yiyi said firmly, "and work hard for Black King Palace!"

"So what should you do?" Tang Zhen's smile became brighter and brighter.

"Kill Lin Xiaoxiao!" Lu Yiyi clenched his fist.

"Very good, then..." A black seed appeared in Tang Zhen's hand, with a weird smile.

"Let me make you stronger."
