As Zhang Tian walked towards Hu Bayi's room, Fatty also sauntered over with a chuckle.
As they reached the front of Hu Bayi's room, the door suddenly swung open.
Hu Bayi slowly emerged from within.
"Boss, Fatty, is something the matter?"
Hu Bayi spoke slowly, a hint of confusion in his voice.
"Nothing much. Fatty said you haven't left your room all day and he was worried about your safety."
"If there's nothing wrong, then good. How is your cultivation progressing?"
Zhang Tian waved his hand, observing Hu Bayi closely. He seemed to have made no progress.
"Yesterday, I re-absorbed the essence I had previously absorbed from the Mu Chen Bead. I discovered that there was still some residual essence within me."
"It's only today that I've seen a little progress. As for Yang, her situation isn't much better."
Hu Bayi's face fell slightly as he spoke.
"Her cultivation is not high, so absorbing it is troublesome. It will take a long time to fully absorb it."
Hu Bayi explained.
Zhang Tian nodded slightly.
The Fire Essence of the Mu Chen Bead could remain in the dantian for a long time.
Zhang Tian's cultivation was high, so he could absorb it easily.
However, Shirley Yang was different. Her cultivation was not very high, so absorption was relatively more difficult.
"No wonder Fatty has been feeling warm in his chest lately. It's because of this."
"It seems Fatty hasn't recovered either."
Fatty muttered, his small eyes filled with realization.
Zhang Tian patted his forehead. This guy was truly carefree, still playing around with Tuan Tuan at a time like this.
"Fatty, stabilize your cultivation first, and clear your mind."
"Oh, and also, Kirin's armor is broken, right? Can you make another one?"
Zhang Tian looked at Fatty and spoke softly.
Fatty rubbed his head.
"Then Boss, are there any perks? You can't have Fatty doing work without letting Fatty eat, can you?"
Fatty blinked his eyes. Zhang Tian patted his forehead, knowing this guy was difficult to get things done.
"Once you stabilize your cultivation and finish making the armor, I promise to give you three pills."
Zhang Tian said.
Upon hearing this, Fatty immediately stood up.
"Boss, why didn't you say so earlier? What are we waiting for? Let's start now!"
Fatty said excitedly, then he and Wang Fei dashed into the room.
"Such a rush."
Zhang Tian shook his head. This Fatty was so impatient.
"By the way, is Miss Yang alright?"
Zhang Tian looked at Hu Bayi.
"She's fine, she'll be better in a while."
Hu Bayi's hoarse voice replied.
"That's good. Didn't she like reading elixir books before? I thought I'd let her read them first. We'll see when she comes out."
Zhang Tian nodded and turned slightly.
Hu Bayi nodded without saying much. Zhang Tian waved at him.
"Then Old Hu, I'll be leaving now. I have other things to attend to."
Zhang Tian said, waved to Tuan Tuan, and his figure gradually disappeared from the courtyard.
"Daddy, where are you taking Tuan Tuan?"
Tuan Tuan hugged Zhang Tian's arm with her small hands, her big eyes full of curiosity.
Zhang Tian stroked Tuan Tuan's little head.
"I'm taking Tuan Tuan to a fun place. What do you want to eat, Tuan Tuan?"
Zhang Tian said as they walked.
"Tuan Tuan wants to eat big lobster, no! Tuan Tuan also wants to eat big crabs, and many other things."
The little one gestured with her small hands in front of her chest.
Her round face lit up with anticipation.
Zhang Tian touched his cheek. This kid actually knew about lobsters and crabs. Who told her?
This was no longer the innocent little loli he knew, but a gluttonous little loli.
"Let's go, I'll take you to eat."
Zhang Tian didn't pay much attention to it.
He had enough money for lobster.
"Yay! Tuan Tuan gets to eat big lobster again! I'll bring some for Grandma when we go back."
Tuan Tuan danced with her small hands, her face filled with excitement.
Zhang Tian led the little one out of the courtyard.
The surrounding streets were quite crowded.
"Tuan Tuan, remember to hide your tail."
Zhang Tian reminded her.
"I know!"
Tuan Tuan replied absentmindedly.
The little one trotted alongside Zhang Tian.
Zhang Tian and Tuan Tuan's appearance seemed out of place, and some people couldn't help but cast furtive glances their way.
This was understandable.
"Daddy, where are you taking Tuan Tuan to eat?"
Tuan Tuan shook her little head.
"To the Crescent Moon Restaurant."
Zhang Tian said slowly.
Zhang Tian's purpose in going to the Crescent Moon Restaurant was simple: to have a meal and, at the same time, discuss some business.
Zhang Tian had too many items, and if he sold them all at the Crescent Moon Restaurant, he feared they wouldn't be able to sell them all.
Therefore, Zhang Tian planned to take it slow, sell some items at the Crescent Moon Restaurant first, and collect some capital.
With Tuan Tuan, Zhang Tian quickly arrived at the entrance of the Crescent Moon Restaurant.
The Crescent Moon Restaurant had a rather retro decoration.
In a city where land was so valuable, it was rare to have such a large restaurant building.
Not many people passed by the area; those who did seemed to deliberately avoid it to steer clear of trouble.
Zhang Tian entered the restaurant with Tuan Tuan.
"It's so big here! Tuan Tuan has never been here before."
Tuan Tuan's big eyes sparkled.
Zhang Tian pulled Tuan Tuan along.
"It's okay, if you want to come in the future, we'll come often."
Zhang Tian said and entered the restaurant.
A welcoming attendant bowed respectfully as Zhang Tian entered.
Immediately, several young ladies in cheongsams emerged.
"Hello, sir. How many in your party?"
She smiled sweetly at Zhang Tian.
"Two. Take her to a private room. Let her order whatever she wants. Tuan Tuan, eat first. I have something to do."
Zhang Tian said calmly.
After he finished speaking, Tuan Tuan nodded seriously.
"Daddy, Tuan Tuan is very well-behaved. Daddy, hurry and finish your business."
Tuan Tuan said, and the beautiful young lady led Tuan Tuan towards the private room.
"Then, sir, are you here for...?"
At this moment, another server walked over.
She had a smile on her face.
People working here were not foolish.
From Zhang Tian's behavior, it was evident that he was not simply there to eat.
"My name is Zhang Tian. I believe you know who I am."
Zhang Tian said.
Upon hearing this, the server immediately understood, and a look of respect appeared on her face.
"Young Master Zhang, you're here for...?"
She also changed her address to a more respectful one.
"I heard there's an auction coming up. Can I participate?"
Zhang Tian asked with a smile.
"Ah? It is our Crescent Moon Restaurant's great honor to have Young Master Zhang here. We will certainly welcome you warmly."
The server said with some surprise.
"In that case, I have some items to auction. Can I see your boss?"
Zhang Tian asked again.
At this point, the server seemed a bit hesitant.
"This way, Young Master Zhang, I will report this to my superiors. Please wait a moment."
She said and quickly walked towards the second floor.
If it were anyone else, she would have brushed them off. After all, who could easily see the boss?
But Zhang Tian was different. He was the one who controlled several major families in Beili and established the Nine Sects Group. She dared not be negligent.
If she didn't entertain him properly, she feared the Crescent Moon would become Zhang Tian's property.
Zhang Tian sat on a chair, with someone massaging his shoulders and serving him tea, quite enjoying himself.
"What? Zhang Tian is here."
At this moment, a shocked voice came from the second floor.
A smile appeared on Zhang Tian's lips. As expected, making a name for himself wasn't such a bad thing.
