A World Worth Protecting

Following Wang Baole’s figure, he entered the door of the shop. After being swallowed by the ghastly mouth, his vision turned slightly dark. It was as if he had passed through a barrier and entered the shop.

The shop wasn’t big. There were seven to eight dining tables. Due to the festive season, there weren’t many customers. The only people that entered Wang Baole’s sight were the shop’s staff, the shopkeeper, and the chef.

The manager was a woman. Her body wasn’t skinny, but rather curvy. She was dressed rather flirtatiously, and her clothes were very revealing. She exuded the charm of a mature woman.

She was sitting at a table, one of her legs stepping on a chair beside her. Her eyes were red as she licked her lips. When she saw Wang Baole walk in, she couldn’t help but let out a lewd laugh.

“Wow, on the gluttony festival, such a fragrant guest has arrived.”

Beside the female manager was a dwarf. The dwarf was extremely ugly. Although his body was not as round as the fatty outside, his ugly appearance and the viciousness he exuded.., it was enough to shock most people the moment they laid eyes on him.

There was also a plump man not far away who held a kitchen knife that was dripping with blood. His eyes were very small. If one did not look closely, one would not even be able to see his eyes.

Only heavy breathing could be heard from his mouth. It was as if he was about to lose control of himself. When he looked at Wang Baole, his throat was clearly squirming.

Looking at the three strange cultivators from appetite city, Wang Baole’s heart was calm. A faint smile appeared on his face as he spoke softly.

“Are you closing the shop today? Why aren’t there any other customers? Also, I would like to ask, are you lacking a shop owner?”

“A shop owner?”The female manager laughed out loud.

“Young sir, you’re really interesting. Today is the day to stock up, so naturally, we won’t open the shop to the public. However, the fragrance from your body is overwhelming. It’s a good ingredient. I’ll make an exception for you this time,”the female manager said, she kicked the dwarf beside her.

“What are you standing there for? Go and put the ingredients into the storage room. Remember not to break them. The complete price is better.”

The dwarf grinned, and the ferocity in his eyes exploded. He turned into an afterimage and charged toward Wang Baole. At the same time, the Brawny man roared and Strode toward Wang Baole.

At the same time, after Wang Baole entered the shop, the greed in the eyes of the little fatty outside could no longer be concealed. He licked his lips and looked at the crowd around him. With a sneer, he walked toward the door, as he stepped inside, the door of the shop slowly closed.

The crowd around also lowered their heads and quickly walked away.

However, it had only been five or six breaths since the fatty had stepped through the door. Before the crowd could get very far, loud banging sounds could be heard coming from the closed door of the shop. It seemed as if someone was struggling inside, trying to open the door and escape.

The people who hadn’t gone too far heard the sounds and turned their heads to look. Fear could be seen in the eyes of the Outsiders who had entered the city. They could imagine that the young man who had just entered the shop.., must be facing an incredibly miserable treatment.

Although he was struggling to break open the door, it was clearly impossible. Even if he did break open the door, he would be dragged back.

It was just as they had expected. In the next moment, the door was forced open, and a figure struggled out.

However... when they saw who it was, they didn’t go too far. When they saw who it was, their eyes went wide, and expressions of disbelief and shock appeared on their faces.

Their judgment was correct, but it was also wrong. It was true, it was true. Even if they had broken through the door, they would have been dragged back. As for the person who was wrong... it was a person.

At that moment, the person who was struggling to crawl out through the gap in the door was not the young man they had seen before, but... the fatty who had been laughing smugly just a moment ago.

The fatty’s face was covered in blood, and his smugness had long since disappeared. His laughter had been completely cut off from him, and what appeared on his face was unprecedented terror. That terror seemed to have surpassed desire, and on the fatty’s face.., it was exceptionally clear.

It was as if the world within the door contained a great terror, causing his mind to be filled with only one thought, which was to struggle his way out, as quickly as possible, and go all out.

However... just as half of the fatty’s body crawled out of the crack in the door, a clean, white hand stretched out from within, grabbed the fatty’s hair, and slowly pulled it back into the door.

“Save me, save me! !”The fatty let out a shrill scream, and the fear in his eyes completely erupted. He struggled to grab the ground with both hands, trying to stabilize his body to resist the hand that was grabbing his hair.

However, the difference between the two parties was too great. Amidst the piercing sounds, the ground was scratched deeply by the fatty’s hands, but his body was still pulled back by the hand.

With a bang, the door closed, and not a single sound could be heard from within.

This scene caused the surrounding people to feel their scalps go numb. They felt that the terror within the shop was beyond their imagination. One by one, they sped up and left. Soon, their surroundings became empty.

At that moment, as the crowd left in a hurry and the entire city chased after the golden tentacles crazily, they were nearing the end. In the shop, where no one was paying attention to them, Wang Baole was sitting on a chair with a bowl of porridge in front of him, he held a spoon and tasted it slowly.

In front of him, the ferocious-looking dwarf was missing an eye and half an arm. His legs were broken, and his body was trembling as he danced.

He looked like a circus clown. As he danced, blood splattered in all directions. His legs were broken, so every time he jumped, he would feel extreme pain. If anyone else were here and saw this scene.., it would definitely be a shocking sight.

As for the burly man, he sat there paralyzed. The fat on his body was trembling, and his hands were constantly slapping his stomach. A drumming sound could be heard, as if he was playing a musical accompaniment.

However, there was a huge gash on his stomach, and every time he slapped it, the wound would tear open even more. The Burly Man’s face was pale, and his life force was rapidly draining away.

There was also the female shopkeeper. Her flirtatious and lascivious aura did not exist on her at all. At that moment, she was slumped on the ground. In front of her was the little fatty whose face was covered in blood. The two of them were trembling, they were using all their strength to slap each other across the face.

One slap, one slap. The sounds of slapping echoed in the shop with the muscular man’s drum beats.

As they had to use force, the two of them were basically beyond recognition. Even their necks were broken. It was an extremely tragic sight.

However, the four of them did not dare to struggle at all. Occasionally, they would look at Wang Baole, who was calmly eating his porridge. There was an unprecedented fear in their expressions, as if they were looking at an evil demon.

After a long while, Wang Baole put down his spoon. He was very satisfied with the taste of the bowl of porridge and spoke calmly.

“I would like to ask, is this shop lacking a new owner?”

The four of them nodded frantically.
