Chapter 1112: Chapter 1112: Stocking The Meat
"Hmm... Lanying really is the only one who truly understands me." Bai Xifeng giggled softly, clinging affectionately to Xie Lanying’s arm.
Ning Shoukai looked at the two girls holding hands and let out a long, defeated sigh. He had only raised the point as a casual observation, but now he was outnumbered. ’Forget it,’ He thought dryly to himself. ’I never win any arguments when these two girls band together against me anyway.’ Accepting his fate, he quietly trailed behind the two girls as they strolled down the crowded alleyway.
Moments later, Bai Xifeng spotted a bustling butcher shop just up ahead. Her eyes sparkling, she immediately dragged Xie Lanying straight toward the display counter.
"Welcome! Welcome, young ladies! What fine cuts of meat can I get for you today?" The beefy butcher, who had been busy cleaving raw meat on a heavy wooden block, asked warmly as they stopped in front of his shop.
"What kind of fresh meat do you have available today?" Bai Xifeng asked, leaning over to inspect the counter.
"Ah, Miss, you came at the absolute perfect time today!" The butcher grinned proudly, wiping his bloodied hands on his apron. "I just managed to get my hands on a wild deer, several fat rabbits, and a flock of wild mountain chickens! A local hunter brought them in and sold them to me just an hour ago. Would you be interested in any of those?"
"Wait... a wild deer?!" Bai Xifeng’s eyes instantly blazed with pure excitement.
It had been an eternity since she last tasted venison. In her previous world, deer meat had been one of her absolute favourite delicacies, tender, lean, and intensely flavorful. She still could not forget that rich, mouthwatering taste! Ever since arriving in this cultivation world, she had searched high and low for deer, but had not managed to spot a single one. She had genuinely begun to lose hope, believing the animal simply did not exist in this realm, which had left her secretly disappointed. But today, against all odds, she had finally found it! She could hardly wait to roast it!
"Give me every single piece of wild game you have in stock right now! Oh, and throw in a generous portion of fresh beef as well!" Bai Xifeng declared excitedly. She paused briefly to calculate, resting her chin on her hand. "Let’s see... how much do I need altogether? Hmmm... just give me 30 kilograms to start with!"
"WHAT?! 3... 30 kilograms?!" The butcher nearly dropped his heavy meat cleaver, staring at her in absolute shock. "Miss, are you completely sure about that massive amount?! Is your family hosting a grand festival or something?!"
"No, no... It is nothing like that." Bai Xifeng chuckled sheepishly, waving her hand dismissively. "I just have a very special pet who has a massive appetite. He has not had a proper meal in the past two days, so I am planning to let him eat to his heart’s content today!"
Because the Zhang Family was travelling alongside them, Bai Xifeng had strictly instructed Tao-chan to stay hidden inside her spatial realm for the time being. She did not want to startle their new companions or expose the existence of her gluttonous, high-ranking beast companion just yet.
"I see... I see! I will go ahead and pack it all up for you right away." The butcher stated, nodding in realisation. "By the way, where is your carriage parked? I can easily have my assistant haul the heavy crates over to your vehicle for you."
"Oh, there is no need for all that trouble. I can easily carry everything myself. " Bai Xifeng said with a wave of her hand.
"What? But Miss, that is thirty whole kilograms of raw meat!" The butcher exclaimed, staring at her delicate arms. "I don’t think your personal inner world storage is spacious enough to hold that much weight without straining you."
"Don’t worry about it. I will be completely fine." Bai Xifeng offered a reassuring smile.
"Well, if you say so, Miss." The butcher responded, still looking somewhat sceptical.
Without further delay, the butcher immediately began wrapping and packing every single cut of wild game and beef that Bai Xifeng had requested. Once the massive pile of meat was neatly secured in heavy brown paper and twine, the butcher wiped his brow and called her back over to the counter.
"Miss, your meat is all packed and ready!" The butcher announced.
Bai Xifeng stepped up to the counter. With a light flick of her wrist, she brought out her spatial storage runes and smoothly swept every single bundle of meat into the magical spatial pocket within a split second.
The butcher froze, staring at the empty counter with his eyes wide and mouth agape.
"Y-You... Is that... Is that a legendary Qiankun Bag?!" The butcher stammered out, his voice trembling with awe.
No wonder this young lady had so casually claimed she did not need a heavy carriage. She actually possessed a coveted Qiankun Bag. This young lady had to be an esteemed noble miss from an immensely powerful, prominent family.
"No... it’s a Storage Rune." Bai Xifeng stated casually.
"A Storage Rune?" The butcher blinked, looking utterly bewildered by the unfamiliar term.
"Well, it serves the exact same primary function as a Qiankun Bag, which is storing spatial items." Bai Xifeng explained patiently. "However, they are crafted from completely different raw materials and forged by different types of grandmasters."
"I see! I see! Thank you so much for broadening my humble knowledge today, Young Lady." The butcher bowed respectfully, deeply impressed by her refined knowledge.
Bai Xifeng smoothly pulled out her coin pouch and paid the exact amount for the purchase.
