Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 905: Chapter 905: The Youth Eating Noodles (2nd Update)

On the official road to the Capital City, the human traffic was as intense as glowing embers, and the horses and carriages were like dragons.

At this moment, at the turn of spring and summer, the trees along the road offered shady greenery, and the flowers bloomed like brocade.

The pristine natural scenery made Xue An’s spirit refreshed and joyful.

Moreover, throughout these days’ journey, Xue An had observed a very interesting phenomenon.

This world, in both attire and manners, was quite similar to ancient China.

But from various signs, it was clear that this place was not Earth from any known time or space.

This phenomenon stirred a sense of peculiarity within Xue An.

It seemed that this world was far from as simple as it appeared on the surface.

That day, it was near midday, and since they had missed a good stopping place, the master and servant had to continue on their way.

A few days earlier, over the objections of the little cash-hoarding Chan’er, Xue An had bought a donkey cart for transport.

As for why it was a donkey cart instead of a horse cart, it was because horses were extremely rare in this era, and even if available, they would not be used to pull carts.

Although Chan’er had strongly opposed the purchase beforehand, there was no helping it; for a maid used to being poor, the money for a donkey cart was enough for half a year’s expenses.

But once Xue An had bought it, Chan’er’s attitude changed dramatically; she was so excited she could hardly sleep, and she wouldn’t even let anyone else feed the donkey, insisting she do it herself.

Xue An had initially thought of hiring a coachman.

But Chan’er volunteered with enthusiasm and mastered the driving skills in just a day or two.

Hence, Xue An was now lying bored inside the carriage, while Chan’er was eagerly whipping the donkey cart forward.

Reflecting on how he had once traversed the earth and slain Deities, yet now sat in a little donkey cart hurtling along the road, Xue An could not help but find the situation somewhat ironic. ”Hopefully, the Capital City will not disappoint me,” Xue An thought to himself.

Chan’er called out, ”Young Master, there seems to be a little tea stand up ahead!”

Xue An lifted the carriage curtain to look forward.

Indeed.

Just ahead, a crude tea stall stood by the roadside.

The dilapidated awning swayed in the wind, carrying with it the strong aroma of tea and food.

Xue An knew that these roadside tea stalls sold not only tea but also simple meals, providing a convenient and affordable way for travelers to fill their bellies.

Of course, one shouldn’t expect too much in terms of taste.

However, to Chan’er, these kinds of tea stalls felt warmly familiar.

In the past, when she had traveled with her master, they would always solve their dining woes at such tea stalls.

Therefore, with excitement on her face, she said, ”Young Master, let’s eat here! Dining out these few days has been too extravagant!”

Looking at Chan’er, who behaved like a little money hoarder, Xue An could only laugh silently, ”Alright, let’s eat here then!”

The donkey cart was tied to a tree by the roadside; naturally, these tea stalls had no fodder for the animals.

The usually frugal Chan’er even bought a few eggs and mixed them with black beans to feed the little donkey.

The little donkey ate with loud snuffles of satisfaction.

Chan’er stood by watching and kept mumbling as if she were having a heart-to-heart with the donkey.

This scene made Xue An shake his head with a mix of amusement and affection.

This little maid could indeed be incredibly endearing at times.

Given it was a small tea stall, there was nothing exquisite on offer, just simple dishes like noodles with marinated eggs, the most luxurious item being a few slices of mutton.

Xue An wasn’t fussy; after ordering a few bowls of mutton noodles, he sat opposite Chan’er, and the master and servant began to eat heartily.

But just at that moment, from far along the official road, the urgent sound of horse hooves approached.

Suddenly, two tall horses charged near, and then, with a tug on the reins by the riders, the horses gracefully stopped.

The horses were exceptionally majestic, and the riders were dressed magnificently, evidently not just ordinary people.

The patrons at the tea stall looked up briefly before quickly lowering their heads again, not daring to stare.

Because those who could afford such steeds were definitely either rich or noble.

They were certainly not someone ordinary folks like them could afford to provoke.

At this moment, the youth dressed in white sitting on the chestnut horse behind softly said, ”I’m a bit thirsty, let’s stop here for a rest!”

The rider in front was a middle-aged man in sportswear, exuding a calm aura.

Upon hearing the youth’s words and taking another look at the ramshackle tea shelter, he felt a bit troubled. ”Young master, this...”

But the youth in white didn’t want to waste words and directly dismounted, walking into the tea stall.

The middle-aged man, not wanting to delay, quickly dismounted as well and followed the youth inside. ”Shopkeeper, what good food do you have?” The youth asked while curiously looking around at the people in the tea stall.

The owner of the tea stall was evidently nervous, ”Re... replying to the young master, we only have simple local food here, nothing exquisite!”

The middle-aged man was about to speak.

But at that moment, the youth noticed Xue An and Chan’er sitting in the corner of the stall, heartily slurping noodles.

Xue An was dressed like a scholar, and Chan’er was clearly a young maid.

But the extraordinary beauty of these two made them stand out unavoidably.

Watching them heartily eating lamb noodles, a hint of interest flashed in the handsome eyes of the youth.

In this rural area, Xue An and Chan’er were extraordinarily striking, naturally surprising the youth.

Then he pointed towards Xue An, ”That dish looks good, bring me two bowls too!” ”B... young master, this...” The middle-aged man tried to interrupt.

The youth waved his hand impatiently, ”Enough, enough, why fuss so much? Look, everyone is eating, it must taste good!”

The middle-aged man could only bow his head, ”Yes, sir!”

Shortly after, the tea stall owner brought over two bowls of lamb noodles.

The youth took a couple of interested bites, then slightly furrowed his brows undetectably.

As the middle-aged man had mentioned, a rural small eatery prioritized affordability, not necessarily paying much attention to taste.

But the youth was stubborn. After glancing at Xue An, who had already eaten two bowls and was starting on his third, he clenched his teeth and began to eat the noodles noisily, mimicking Xue An.

The middle-aged man was somewhat shocked.

He had never seen his young master behave like this before.

At home, let alone eating noisily, even a poor eating posture was unacceptable.

What was going on?

The middle-aged man was profoundly astonished.

Xue An had actually noticed all this already but just smiled and didn’t take it to heart.

But just as the youth was enjoying his meal, at a nearby table, some patrons got up seemingly to pay and leave.

No one paid any attention to this.

But just as these few individuals walked past behind the youth, a flash of cold light suddenly aimed at the youth’s lower back.
