Chapter 1296 1296: Disappointed Goddess!
Jiang Feng hung up the phone, feeling a bit helpless.
He was just casually making up an excuse, who would have thought Baili Xiyue would take it seriously?
With no other choice, he walked out of the cold storage, gave Wu Feng and the others a few more instructions, then drove down the mountain.
At this time, it was still early, not yet eight o'clock in the morning.
Following the navigation, Jiang Feng drove to the so-called Temple Street.
This is a relatively famous street in the Provincial City, known for its long-standing brands, which have turned it into an old street filled with various folk craft stores, antique shops, snack shops, and private stalls.
Jiang Feng parked the car at the entrance of the street, walked in on foot, and saw that the most popular shop on this street was indeed a sesame cake shop.
It's said that the handmade sesame cakes from this shop are exceptional, passing down from the Qing Dynasty palace, simple yet with unparalleled taste.
Inherited craftsmanship, unique to this shop only!
Because of this, the shop's business was booming, attracting people from far and wide. When Jiang Feng arrived outside the shop, a queue like a long dragon had already formed.
During the breakfast rush, along with people hurrying to work, all kinds of people were here: fashionable men and women, migrant workers, white-collar workers, contractor-like people, and even students...
Everyone's eyes were filled with expressions of anticipation.
And amidst the impatient waiting, a kind of indescribable aroma wafted out from the cake shop, indeed arousing one's appetite.
The sound of swallowing saliva echoed continuously.
Jiang Feng himself wasn't very interested in sesame cakes, but since Baili Xiyue wanted to eat them, he thought he'd buy a few to try.
Just as he calmly waited in line, moving forward one step at a time with those who had finished buying, suddenly a Bentley with an out-of-town license plate quietly stopped outside the shop.
The driver, a middle-aged man in a black suit, got out.
This person's temples protruded prominently, eyes restrained yet glowing, seemingly with storms brewing beneath his skin.
"Martial Artist?!"
Jiang Feng casually glanced over, a playful smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.
Since when have Martial Artists become so common?
This middle-aged man's strength wasn't that great, probably around the Maestro level, likely a bodyguard or similar.
Yet, someone in the car who could have a Maestro as a bodyguard was definitely not an ordinary person.
Anyway, while considering the day's activities, Jiang Feng glanced at the Bentley a couple more times, his curiosity growing.
Soon, the tightly shut window of the Bentley's back seat lowered slightly.
Inside appeared the stunning face of a young girl!
The girl seemed about twenty-two or twenty-three years old, with long, straight, jet-black hair flowing like a waterfall over her shoulders, a flawless oval face, smooth and fair skin, with a charming aura.
Her most captivating feature was her eyes, reminiscent of autumn waves, smoky as water, ethereal and noble, with brows and eye corners that contained all the qualities of a beautiful, kind-eyed goddess – Heavenly Fragrance and National Beauty!
A goddess!
An absolute goddess!
This beauty, this figure, already rivals Baili Xiyue!
But Baili Xiyue is already recognized as the number one beauty in the Provincial City; yet, this girl's looks can actually match her?
And noticing the out-of-town license plate, Jiang Feng felt relieved.
"Such a beautiful girl, driving a top-level Bentley, specifically coming with a Maestro-level bodyguard to buy sesame cakes, that's interesting."
Jiang Feng chuckled.
Indeed, the ancient martial arts bodyguard was standing respectfully by the back window, quietly saying, "Miss, I'll go queue now."
"Mm~"
The girl softly replied, sounding like a yellow oriole coming out of a valley, melodically heavenly, exuding a refined and gracious demeanor.
The ancient martial arts bodyguard said no more and briskly walked towards the line of waiting people.
He queued up in a disciplined manner.
But unluckily, as Jiang Feng finished buying the sesame cakes step by step ahead, the next three people bought up all the remaining cakes for that day.
In other words, when it was the ancient martial arts bodyguard's turn, the cakes were completely sold out, not a single one left!
This made the ancient martial arts bodyguard's face darken with frustration!
How unfortunate, to have them sold out precisely when it was his turn?!
There was nothing he could do, even though he was a Maestro, he couldn't force a sale!
He could only return to the Bentley regrettably, smiling bitterly, "Miss, we were late, they just sold out, maybe next time..."
The stunning girl sitting in the back seat had looked highly expectant but showed a noticeable expression of disappointment upon hearing this.
She felt quite unhappy but remained silent.
The ancient martial arts bodyguard noticed her expression, feeling troubled, then glanced around and quickly fixated his gaze on Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng was standing by the roadside at that moment, eating a freshly baked sesame cake.
He carried a plastic bag filled with cakes for Baili Xiyue.
The ancient martial arts bodyguard hesitated a moment, then suddenly walked towards Jiang Feng.
"Little brother, hello, can you sell me the sesame cakes you're holding? I'd like to buy yours," said the ancient martial arts bodyguard sincerely.
"Not selling."
Jiang Feng had noticed the situation earlier, smiling and shaking his head.
Regarding such matters, he felt he couldn't help even if he wanted to, especially when there was a foodie waiting at home.
"I'll pay a high price, how about that?" The ancient martial arts bodyguard reluctantly suggested, "You bought them for five a piece, I'll give you fifty!"
"Sorry." Jiang Feng shook his head again.
The ancient martial arts bodyguard seemed a bit anxious: "Little brother, it's hard for my Miss to come here, she just wants to try the sesame cakes, can you help?"
"Really sorry. I bought these for someone else; maybe try asking others?"
"Even if you give me just one, that'd be fine!"
The ancient martial arts bodyguard was a bit annoyed, but before he could say more, the stunning girl in the Bentley gently said, "Let it go, Ah Bin, come back."
Ah Bin hesitated, glared at Jiang Feng, then returned to the Bentley.
Soon after, Jiang Feng watched the stunning girl close the window regretfully, giving him a wistful glance.
A simple encounter, meant to end this way.
Jiang Feng finished the sesame cake and was about to leave.
The ancient martial arts bodyguard, Ah Bin, also drove the Bentley past him.
But at that moment, a subtle sound suddenly reached Jiang Feng's ears!
Tick-tock~~tick-tock~~tick-tock~~~
The sound resembled the ticking of a second hand, becoming faster and quicker!
The sound came from the Bentley!
Jiang Feng's heart skipped a beat, immediately turning back to see the Bentley gradually speeding up, with apparently no awareness of the danger!
The girl was in danger!!
Without a moment's hesitation, Jiang Feng stuffed the sesame cakes inside his coat, rushing towards the Bentley!
