"Shameless! Didn't you tell us earlier that the grain in the shop was nearly out? How come you're serving breakfast to that group now!? If it's silver you want, I've got plenty!"
After saying this, the man pulled out a money pouch and poured out a heap of broken silver on the table with a clatter.
The waiter waved his hands repeatedly, explaining that it was the shopkeeper's decision, continuously trying to explain something to the man.
"Ah... fine, fine, prepare some for them too..."
The Fatty Shopkeeper, fearing their argument would attract a monster, quickly waved the waiter to go prepare.
The other guests also gradually came out of their rooms, making the same request.
In the end, the shopkeeper, with no other option, had to prepare a serving of breakfast for each person.
Before long, the waiter brought out several large bamboo steamers from the kitchen, placing them on the tables in the inn, filling the entire hall with a fragrant aroma.
Master Liu's side, Yan Jiantong was the first to pick up a meat bun and sniffed it at the tip of his nose, then revealed a look of realization.
"Master Liu, don't eat these buns!"
He quickly stopped the others' movements, then looked fiercely toward the Fatty Shopkeeper, suddenly slamming the table, shouting angrily:
"You sly Yan Guanglong, how dare you target us, you're courting death!"
As he spoke, he stomped his foot and leaped several meters, striking at the Fatty Shopkeeper's chest with a palm, with a faint sound of dragon roars around.
Li Qiang and Li Mu, still unaware of what had happened, were startled by Yan Jiantong's sudden move.
How could they just be eating peacefully, and in a blink, someone flew out to strike?
This sudden change also left the other guests dumbfounded, all overwhelmed by the momentum displayed by this person.
Over there, the Fatty Shopkeeper did not expect Yan Jiantong to suddenly attack him.
If it were an ordinary person, this strike would be unavoidable no matter what.
But, clearly, this inn owner called "Yan Guanglong" by Yan Jiantong had a more complex identity.
In a hurry, he raised his right palm to meet the rapidly incoming Dragon Roar Palm.
"Bang!"
A muffled sound erupted, and Yan Jiantong leaped back, returning to his seat.
As for the Fatty Shopkeeper, he retreated seven or eight steps in succession before coming to a stop.
Master Liu witnessed this scene, nodding secretly.
Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper indeed had some skills, able to withstand a strike from Yan Jiantong's Dragon Roar Palm without falling.
It's known that last time at the tea stall in the northern city, a strong man who faced the Dragon Roar Palm head-on had his entire arm shattered by a single strike, causing internal injuries that left him immobilized.
That man, although defeated by a single move, was said by Yan Jiantong afterward to have first-rate martial world prowess, yet was still crippled by one strike, illustrating the power of the Dragon Roar Palm.
Unexpectedly, this Fatty Shopkeeper at the inn now had such skills.
In responding hastily, he still managed to withstand this palm, indicating he's not a simple character.
"Hah~"
Over there, the Fatty Shopkeeper Yan Guanglong held back the blood in his throat, preventing it from spilling out.
He quickly tapped a few points on his body, circulating his power, and finally adjusted his breath.
After doing all this, he raised his head, glaring fiercely at Yan Jiantong, and cursed:
"You treacherous Yan Sanwen! I kindly let you stay here and made food for you, yet you sneak attack me!?"
Yan Jiantong picked up a meat bun from the table and hurled it toward the other side.
Empowered by inner strength, the bun flew rapidly like a large stone, embedding itself into the wall after the Fatty Shopkeeper dodged.
The spectators around inhaled sharply at this sight.
Especially the few hot-tempered men earlier, secretly grateful for not taking action against them.
Yet before they could process it, Yan Jiantong's next words turned everyone's face pale.
"Hahaha! How ridiculous! Yan Guanglong, is your so-called kindness letting us eat human flesh buns!?"
"What!!??"
The crowd watching the commotion erupted in the hall.
They instinctively looked at the buns in their hands, then at the man in white, back at the bun, and finally...
"Ugh!!"
"Ugh!!"
"Ugh!!"
"..."
Everyone simultaneously began to vomit, causing chaos in the inn's hall.
Li Qiang threw his chopsticks away as if electrocuted, staring in shock at the large meat buns in the steamer.
He couldn't believe these buns were made of human flesh.
Yan Jiantong, with a face full of disdain, looked at the Fatty Shopkeeper opposite, saying without goodwill:
"Yan Guanglong, you are one of the top martial world experts, yet to think you've been hiding here running an inn..."
"Heh, the world calls you 'Blood Yama', and it seems they're not wrong, engaging in selling human flesh."
After finishing his words, he leisurely awaited the Fatty Shopkeeper's response.
Yan Jiantong was actually meeting the shopkeeper for the first time today.
But they had crossed paths, naturally recognizing him at first glance.
The Fatty Shopkeeper probably told the waiter not to speak out because of this, even specially preparing meat buns for them.
Yet no one expected those buns to be filled not with pork, but human flesh!
"No wonder... I was wondering why these dishes recently had a peculiar gamey smell... turns out this black-hearted shopkeeper was feeding us this... ugh!"
One diner seemed to recall something and, mid-sentence, began vomiting again.
It seemed like everyone was waking up at this moment.
They hadn't noticed anything strange eating these dishes over the past days.
But strangely, after Yan Jiantong's revelation, they suddenly realized how gamy and odorous the meat actually was; what else could it be but human flesh?
The few hot-tempered men originally intended to capture the Fatty Shopkeeper, but upon hearing Yan Jiantong's reference to him, they froze.
Judging by their appearance, they seemed to be martial world people aware of the two individuals' reputations.
Well then, one was the Demon Yan Sanwen, the other the Blood Yama Yan Guanglong.
Both are among the top five infamous figures in the martial world.
Small fry like them shouldn't stick their noses into this; let them fight amongst themselves.
However, just as everyone concentrated on Yan Guanglong, anticipating his explanation, they were all bewildered by his reaction.
Including Master Liu and the others, they'd speculated various possible responses from the Fatty Shopkeeper.
Maybe he'd be furious at being exposed, or wear a sickly cold smile.
But what no one expected was for Yan Guanglong to display the same bewildered and shocked expression.
Just like everyone felt upon hearing the buns were made of human flesh.
"Good lord, his acting is top-notch!"
Master Liu sighed inwardly, unable with his sharp eyes to discern any flaw in the other's expression.
Feeling that if this fatty were on Water Blue Star, he could grab a Little Golden Man.
"Hu-human flesh...? How's that possible!!"
Who knew, after regaining his senses, Yan Guanglong exclaimed, and then swiftly turned and retrieved the bun from the wall, tore the dough open, sniffing it at the tip of his nose.
"Damn it!!"
The next moment, he fiercely smashed the bun to the ground, displaying an enraged expression, turning his head to glare intently at the waiter.
"Damn you! I've treated you so well over the years! Speak! Why did you betray me!!?"
