245 The Treasure in the Royal Palace

Kong Rui clenched the waist token in her hand and had no intention of returning it.

As the waiter looked at the waist token, his eyebrows twitched, but he didn’t ask for it.

Kong Rui sized up the waiter and said, “Alright! I’ll believe you for the time being! However, I still have something I need you to do for me! If you handle it well, there will naturally be a reward. If you don’t handle it well…”

The waiter swallowed hard when he heard Kong Rui’s words.

A smile appeared on Kong Rui’s lips. She looked charming, but terrifying as well. “I’ll send someone to Tianxiang Restaurant every day to cause trouble! At that time, I’m afraid you won’t be able to answer to your boss, right?”

Kong Rui didn’t believe that the waiter didn’t have any faction behind him. The waiter could only agree.

Seeing that the waiter didn’t quibble anymore, Kong Rui smiled in satisfaction. “Since we’ve reached an agreement, bring this back. Consider it a reward I gave you in advance.”

The waiter looked at the bead Kong Rui had placed in his hand in surprise.

The small pearl was silver-white and shining under the light.

As the waiter held the bead with both hands, he blinked and said, “This is a treasure. Miss, I can’t accept it!”

Kong Rui smiled as she patted the waiter’s shoulder. “Looks like you know your stuff. This thing is a treasure from the royal family. Bring this to the Tianxiang Restaurant and find a conspicuous place to place it. You can only put it away three days later!”

“Huh? This…” The waiter was so shocked that he almost fell to the ground again.

How was this a treasure? This was simply a huge disaster for Tianxiang Restaurant!

“I’m afraid… it’s inappropriate for the treasure of the royal family to appear in Tianxiang Restaurant.” The waiter didn’t dare to be too blunt, so he could only tactfully refuse.

“You don’t want to do it?” Kong Rui raised her eyebrows and her meaning was obvious.

The waiter held his breath and gritted his teeth before saying, “Alright! I’ll do it! However, if something really happens to the Tianxiang Restaurant…”

“Don’t worry! If anything happens, just mention me!” Kong Rui said indifferently.

The waiter frowned at Kong Rui and he wondered if there was something wrong with this girl. This would offend the royal family. Why was this girl not afraid at all?

Although the waiter was puzzled, there was no way to escape this situation.

After he thought about it, he finally sighed and said, “Alright! I’ll definitely settle this matter for you!”

Seeing that the waiter finally relented, Kong Rui patted the waiter’s shoulder again. “Don’t worry! I won’t let you be in danger!”

The waiter’s face was filled with skepticism. Then, he bowed to Kong Rui and left.

…

“Master, why did you take so long to come back?! I missed you so much!” Kong Shu blinked at Kong Rui.

Kong Rui stroked the little girl’s head with affection and smiled as she said, “I had something to do! Cultivate as you guys wait for me to return!”

Kong Yao, on the other hand, had his back facing her and seemed angry.

Kong Rui pulled Kong Yao over and couldn’t help but laugh when she saw his angry look. “Why are you angry?”

“Master, you’ve changed!” Kong Yao was furious as he said to Kong Rui.

“Oh really? How have I changed?” Kong Rui was amused and couldn’t help but ask, “Have I changed for the better or worse?”

Kong Yao pouted. “You used to bring us along for everything!”

“Now, you either leave us in the Fragrant Garden or let us cultivate in the space,” Kong Yao accused her with reproach. “You’re unwilling to share anything with us! You don’t love us anymore!”
