Chapter 122: Chapter 60 Scene Reappearance_3 Chapter 122: Chapter 60 Scene Reappearance_3 Long Kongkong instinctively turned his head to see a slender figure. He quickly approached her, lifted up a table with one hand while taking the broom from her with the other. “What are you doing, goddess? I can do it, I can do it. We can’t let you sweep the floors.”
Seeing him quickly getting busy, Hep Benn smiled. Although he always talked big, he was really diligent when it involved work. Ever since he came around, the workload during weekends had considerably eased for her and her father. Long Kongkong was enthusiastic about handling all sorts of chores, particularly the dirty and exhaustive ones, hardly letting her lift a finger.
“Hmm, once you’re finished sweeping, wash your hands and come help out. We have guests,” she said.
“Alright, have faith in me, Miss Boss,” Long Kongkong agreed as he started working more energetically.
It seemed as though his energy was never exhausted when he saw her.
Huh, why did this feeling seem familiar? A touch of doubt suddenly emerged in Long Kongkong’s heart.
Just then, a slightly lewd voice came.
“Wow, such a small shop with such a pretty lady. Little girl, how old are you this year?”
Long Kongkong who was sweeping looked up immediately.
At this moment, several guests had entered the shop. There were a total of five of them, all of whom looked very robust. Two of them even wore heavy armor, probably being professionists.
Hep Benn, standing in front of them, seemed as feeble as a little lamb in front of a bunch of bears.
“What would you gentlemen like? We mainly serve spare rib rice and spare rib noodles here,” said Hep Benn calmly.
The men took seats by the door. The bald man who had spoken before said, “I’m asking you a question, how old are you? As for the food, you decide. But make sure it’s plenty, we eat a lot.”
Hep Benn hesitated for a moment but finally answered, “I’m sixteen. Please wait a moment.” She turned around to leave.
“Don’t be in such a hurry to go! Isn’t there a kid there? Let him serve the food, and you sit with us for a while.” The bald man reached out to grab Hep Benn. She dodged instinctively. Though he missed her hand, he managed to grab her sleeve, causing her to stumble and yelp. She steadied herself by grabbing onto the table.
“What’s wrong, boss? I’ll take care of these gentlemen,” said Long Kongkong, moving quickly to stand in front of Hep Benn.
“Who do you think you are? Scram. Go serve the food,” another muscular man said impatiently, pushing Long Kongkong.
Long Kongkong reacted quickly. His trembling finger cut through the sleeve of Hep Benn’s caught clothing, enabling her to escape. With a swift movement, he guided her several meters away, widening the distance between them and the burly men.
At this moment, he was filled with shock. Everything happening was almost identical to what had happened during his Divine Prayers Small Tree Spirit Furnace examination.
“We’re close to the Temple Headquarters. You don’t want to cause trouble here,” Long Kongkong said somberly, placing himself between Hep Benn and the men.
“Hahaha! Kid, we just came from the Temple Headquarters. Our big brother just passed the examination and is now a 7th Rank Warrior King. Moreover, what did we do? We just wanted this pretty girl to dine with us,” they said.
Long Kongkong was stunned. Was every word identical to before? In an instance, his mind raced. There was no doubt that showing the Spirit Furnace Academy’s badge could solve the situation at hand, but that would also reveal his identity as a student of the Academy. He stuttered when Hep Benn questioned him during the examination. He couldn’t make the same mistake again!
