A few days later.
Inside the "Have Bun is Big" baozi shop.
Xiu'er had gone to Ping An Temple to deliver buns again.
The old man smilingly hung up a small wooden sign.
—"Closed Today".
A group of baozi-addicted office workers, heartbroken, left.
Not long after the crowd dispersed,
a graceful young woman dressed in a pale yellow plain dress, wearing a thin veil over her face, slowly walked toward this end from the far end of the street.
Though the woman's face was veiled, making it impossible to discern her features, her seductive sway and the alluring fragrance she emitted as she walked drew all eyes to her. For a moment, the street on both sides fell silent as a grave.
On her snow-white neck was a white snake-like collar, the head of the snake with its twin eyes glowing a faint blood-red, vivid and lifelike, sending chills down one's spine.
Under the watchful gaze of all, the woman arrived in front of the baozi shop.
