Upon hearing the voice, Han Chao immediately turned to look at Xiuneng. Realizing it was an elderly beastman, he sneered, "What are you, an old geezer, talking about?"
"Meddling in others' affairs will only shorten your life."
Ever since Yuan Qing had exposed him, his so-called grace and politeness had vanished.
Clearly, he was very concerned about the money he had lost.
Yun Manman frowned deeply upon hearing his words: "Please do not attack my customers."
Especially not the adorable old panda grandpa!
Xiuneng felt a warmth in his heart hearing Yun Manman defend him like this.
"This old man doesn't care about living or dying, but speaking like that will surely bring punishment from the Beast God."
Hearing this unfamiliar beastman start pressuring him with the Beast God, Han Chao became even angrier: "Get lost!"
"Who do you think you are to talk to me? I guess this kind of shop attracts this kind of customer..."
He spoke at a volume that was neither loud nor soft, just enough for everyone in the shop to hear.
Instantly, the gazes of all the customers in the store pierced him like arrows.
Yun Manman thought: Well, well, trying to attract all the fire, aren't we?
Yuan Qing, not wanting to argue with them anymore, said with a tired but firm voice: "I won't withdraw the lawsuit. You should leave."
Han Chao and Bai Cha's sudden appearance had viciously ripped open her barely healed wounds, reminding her of her past foolishness with fresh blood.
She even felt her Spirit Power, which had been stable for a long time, begin to fluctuate slightly.
Yun Manman patted her back soothingly: "It's okay, it's okay. We'll chase them away."
Han Chao angrily said: "You wouldn't dare!"
"What wouldn't I dare? You think you're the only one who can speak loudly?" Yun Manman also raised her voice: "Yin Qian, throw him out!"
Yin Qian, who had been standing by ready, quickly approached Han Chao and Bai Cha wielding a rolling pin.
At first, Han Chao was furious that Yun Manman dared to chase him away, but now seeing that the one coming to expel him was just a young boy, he couldn't help but feel contemptuous.
"You think you can..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he was struck by the overwhelming Spirit Power pressure from Yin Qian, making his legs tremble.
Greatly shocked, he immediately raised his Spirit Power shield in an attempt to block Yin Qian's Spirit Power.
But how could Han Chao's mere C-level Spirit Power possibly withstand Yin Qian's A-level Spirit Power?
He retreated step by step while cursing: "I'll report you, you unscrupulous business!"
"Yuan Qing, you mannish woman, I advise you to withdraw the lawsuit quickly..."
"Or else you'll be in for it..."
Yin Qian didn't even need to use his rolling pin; in just a few seconds, he had chased Han Chao and Bai Cha out of the sweet shop.
Expelled from the store, Han Chao was covered in cold sweat due to the Spirit Power pressure. He hadn't expected this ordinary-looking young man to have such strong Spirit Power.
He glared fiercely at the "Perfect Sweets Shop" sign for a few seconds, then said: "Let's go! I'll make sure that ungrateful beast Yuan Qing pays for this!"
But no one responded to him.
He turned his head in confusion, only to find that Bai Cha, who usually agreed with everything he said, was now silently staring at her communicator, muttering repeatedly: "It can't be..."
"What can't be? Speak up!" Han Chao was already irritated, and hearing this buzzing like a fly made him even more agitated. He couldn't help but shout at Bai Cha.
Bai Cha was startled, her eyes immediately turning red as she sobbed: "I didn't mean to..."
"I just thought that old panda grandpa looked familiar..."
In her heart, though, she was rolling her eyes furiously.
Pretentious jerk, she thought. As soon as this matter is resolved, I'm breaking up with him.
"He seems to be that famous food critic, Xiuneng..."
Han Chao's eyes widened in disbelief as he snatched the communicator from her hand, scrolling through the photos on the screen with trembling hands.
"Oh no, oh no, it really is him..."
"How did he end up in such a remote, trashy little shop..."
Bai Cha and Han Chao were currently collaborating to run an account together, with Bai Cha responsible for appearing on camera to film beauty review videos, and Han Chao in charge of editing.
Their account had gained some popularity online, and they could be considered minor internet celebrities.
However, they were nowhere near as influential as Xiuneng, who had been a famous food critic for a long time.
Moreover, someone with Xiuneng's influence could ruin their social media career with just a casual negative mention in an interview.
Both Han Chao and Bai Cha seemed to realize this, their faces turning pale as they looked at each other.
While inwardly cursing Yuan Qing and Yun Manman, they fervently prayed that Xiuneng wouldn't remember them.
Inside the Perfect Sweets Shop, things finally quieted down.
Everyone let out a sigh of relief.
Yuan Qing glanced at Yin Qian again and again, whispering to Yun Manman: "Where on earth did you dig up this apprentice? He's so powerful!"
Although Yin Qian's Spirit Power pressure had only targeted Han Chao and didn't affect others, Yuan Qing, with her B-level Spirit Power strength, still sensed the powerful and vast Spirit Power, which left her shocked.
This must be at least A-level Spirit Power strength!
There weren't many beastmen in this town with A-level Spirit Power strength.
Yuan Qing had originally thought he was just a young academic prodigy, but now it turned out he wasn't just a prodigy, but a super powerhouse.
Now, thinking back to how she used to tease him, and how Yin Qian never got angry, she realized she had been ignorant of the heights of heaven and the depths of the earth, and incredibly lucky.
Yun Manman, who wasn't sensitive to Spirit Power, scratched her head: "I don't know either. He came to us on his own."
She secretly marveled in her heart, so this is Spirit Power attack! So powerful, able to drive people away without even touching them.
In her limited experience, she didn't know the difference between Spirit Power attack and Spirit Power pressure, only that the apprentice she had hired was amazing.
Well, she thought, I should give Yin Qian a raise!
And send him some sweets too.
Thinking of sweets, Yun Manman immediately turned and smiled at the customers in the store: "I'm really sorry about what happened today. To make it up to everyone, our shop will give each customer a free pudding!"
"Hooray! The boss is so generous!"
"Don't worry, boss. If we see that scumbag again, we'll definitely help you chase him away!"
"Thank you, boss!"
Yun Manman nodded with a smile, her tail wagging happily behind her.
Hmph, you scumbag and white lotus girl, she thought. Now that you've offended so many angry cats, good luck trying to show up in the shop again!
