Chapter 94: "Fragrant Tea" Was Our Own Choice
The sleazy looking middle aged man at the front desk winked at Wu Tian with a knowing smirk.
At that moment
Wu Tian's brain short circuited.
"Wait, wait, wait… What the hell does that look mean?!"
He could handle it
But what about Gu Xun'er?
If she saw that smirk, what would she think?
She'd definitely assume
That he had teamed up with this pervert to drug her
So that their relationship would develop to this point!
"Damn it! I'm being framed!"
"I, Wu Tian, have always walked the righteous path!"
"I would NEVER resort to such underhanded tricks!"
But would Gu Xun'er believe him?
Wu Tian glanced at her
Sure enough
Gu Xun'er was staring at him with suspicion.
Gu Xun'er's Inner Thoughts
"Could Wu Tian gege really have planned this with the front desk?"
"Did he… do all this on purpose?"
"No way… right?"
"If he really wanted to have a baby with me, he wouldn't need to go through so much trouble…"
"He could just take me by force… and that would be even more thrilling "
Gu Xun'er snapped out of her thoughts
Her face flushed bright red.
Wu Tian Clears His Name
Seeing the doubt in her eyes, Wu Tian panicked.
If he didn't explain himself, his reputation would be forever stained!
His legendary title as a righteous guardian spirit would be tarnished!
"I have to fix this NOW!"
Holding Gu Xun'er's slender waist, Wu Tian teleported directly in front of the sleazy store owner.
Without hesitation
He grabbed the man's throat and lifted him off the ground.
His voice was cold as ice
"Why did you put a strong aphrodisiac in the tea?"
"What was your intention?"
The Store Owner Panics
"Ack! Cough! Guhh !"
The man's face turned red, and he struggled to breathe.
His mind spun in confusion
"What the hell?!"
"This is the first time a customer has complained AFTER getting lucky!"
Gasping for air, he choked out a response
"S Sir…! Cough !"
"You… You were the one who ordered it!"
Wu Tian: (╬ಠ益ಠ)!!!
"WHAT?! I ORDERED IT?!"
"BULLSHT!"*
"WHEN?!"
Wu Tian lost it
"DON'T TALK CRAP!"
"WHEN DID I EVER ORDER THAT KIND OF TEA?!"
Even Gu Xun'er Is Confused
Hearing this, even Gu Xun'er frowned.
She and Wu Tian had been together the whole time.
They only entered the tea shop because they were tired from shopping
And SHE was the one who pulled Wu Tian inside.
He never even had a chance to order anything.
The Store Owner Tries to Explain
His face turned pale, and he gasped for air.
"Uhh… Uhh…!"
Wu Tian loosened his grip slightly.
"Explain yourself properly."
"Otherwise, I'll kill you."
His killing intent was undeniable.
If this sleazy old man was lying
Wu Tian would snap his neck without hesitation.
The Truth Comes Out
The store owner gasped for breath, then hurriedly explained
"S Sir! You REALLY did order the 'Fragrant Tea'!"
Wu Tian & Gu Xun'er: "…Fragrant Tea?"
The two of them froze.
They recalled the moment they ordered
Yes.
They DID order "Fragrant Tea."
But
WHO THE HELL KNEW it was THAT kind of tea?!
A Painful Realization
The store owner nodded frantically.
"Yes, sir! And I even double checked!"
"I asked you TWICE to confirm! You even looked at the young lady before answering!"
Wu Tian and Gu Xun'er exchanged looks.
A bitter smile crept onto both their faces.
Their "fateful encounter"…
Had actually started because of their own carelessness.
Wu Tian Asks One Last Question
Turning back to the store owner, Wu Tian's voice was cold
"Why the hell is your 'Fragrant Tea' like THAT?!"
The store owner sighed bitterly.
"Sir… You don't understand."
"Our shop is in a secluded area."
"If we just served NORMAL tea, we'd have NO customers!"
"The ONLY reason we're successful… is BECAUSE of the 'Fragrant Tea'!"
"This is 100% LEGITIMATE BUSINESS!"
Wu Tian: (╬ಠ益ಠ)!!
"LEGITIMATE BUSINESS, MY ASS!"
Gu Xun'er's Soft Intervention
Gu Xun'er gently placed her hand on Wu Tian's chest and whispered
"Wu Tian gege… Since it was our own mistake…"
"Let's just let it go."
Wu Tian's "Punishment"
Wu Tian nodded.
If Gu Xun'er didn't mind
Then he wouldn't make a big deal out of it.
But…
He still needed to "punish" this guy.
Wu Tian's "Cruel Sentence"
"Alright."
"I'll let you live… on one condition."
The store owner gulped nervously.
Wu Tian tossed a heavy pouch onto the counter.
It landed with a loud thud
"Inside is one million gold coins."
"I'm buying this shop."
The store owner's eyes widened
"ONE MILLION?!"
This tiny tea shop was barely worth 30,000 gold!
And now, Wu Tian was giving him a million?!
Gu Xun'er Adds to the Shock
Before the owner could even process it, Gu Xun'er smiled sweetly
"Hmm… Wu Tian gege, isn't one million a bit too little?"
"If you ever need more money, just come to the Xiao Clan."
"My name is Gu Xun'er."
"Also… If you run into any trouble while expanding, just let me know."
The Store Owner's Mind Blows Up
"WHAT?!"
"One million… is too little?!"
"THE HELL IS GOING ON?!"
"Are they trying to open 'Fragrant Tea Shops' ALL ACROSS THE EMPIRE?!"
Meanwhile, Wu Tian and Gu Xun'er left the shop
Leaving behind a completely dumbfounded store owner.
A New Business Empire Begins
As Wu Tian carried Gu Xun'er back to the Xiao Clan, the store owner finally snapped out of his daze.
His eyes burned with determination.
Raising two fingers, he shouted proudly
"I, Teng Ying, NEVER thought I'd see a day like this!!!"
Inside the tea shop, other customers peeked out from their private rooms, confused.
"Huh? What's wrong with Uncle Ying today?"
"Usually, it's OTHER people yelling… not him!"
