Many thugs who were unable to escape from the restaurant were burned to death, including the restaurant's chef, who was trapped inside the fire and eventually choked by the thick smoke and unable to escape.

But it was the villain Boss Zhu who managed to escape alive in the chaos.

He crawled on the ground and finally crawled out of a dog hole. He was dirty and dusty, which was completely different from his previous arrogant look.

"My restaurant! My business empire! Oh my God!"

Boss Zhu watched his restaurant being gradually reduced to ashes by the fire. He was so heartbroken that he knelt on the ground and howled.

Xiangling, Yanfei, Xingqiu and Chongyun surrounded him.

Xingqiu said sarcastically, “You didn’t get burned to death. Good people don’t live long, but evil people live for thousands of years!”

Yan Fei shouted, "Even if you escape alive, you can't escape prison. Everyone in Mingyun Town who was oppressed by you will testify against you! Zhu Fu, you are finished!"

Sure enough, one call leads to a hundred responses...

Everyone on the street applauded the burning of the restaurant and the arrest of Boss Zhu.

But Zhu Fu still had something to say. He insisted on standing up, patting his chest, looking around and pointing at the people on the road.

"You ungrateful guys, don't you remember how dilapidated Mingyun Town was before I came here?"

"This place used to be an unknown little village, sparsely populated and remote!"

"After I came here, I helped you get rich and developed this place into what it is today. The commercial development here can even rival that of Liyue Harbor."

"You are grateful for a little bit of money, but you are resentful for a lot of money! You only remember the bad things I did to make money, but you forget that if it weren't for me, you would be just a group of refugees who have no food to eat and could starve to death at any time!"

“Enough!” Earth Robber stood up from the ground and scolded from afar: “Zhu Fu! I’m tired of hearing the story of a young dragon slayer who eventually became a dragon!”

"Since you have done so many good things and devoted so much effort to Mingyun Town, why can't you stick to your original intention?"

"You, who once served the people wholeheartedly, have long died in the past. Now, Zhu Fu, who will do anything to achieve his goal, who regards human life as worthless, who monopolizes and destroys the market, who forms cliques and destroys contracts for personal gain, who has destroyed countless families and killed countless people for the sake of making money, is a demon who deserves death!"

"People may deserve to praise and admire you for who you were in the past, but you don't deserve it now!"

Mingyun Town is low-lying and located in a large natural pit. The hot air from the fire in the restaurant rushed straight into the sky, causing a change in the air flow and a heavy rain came at the right time.

The rain poured down in torrents.

The fire in the restaurant gradually died down in the heavy rain until it was extinguished, and the majestic building turned into a charred ruin.

Zhu Fu knelt in the rain, silent, just quietly looking at the ruins, motionless for a long time...

Ye Luo slowly walked into the center of the crowd and stood next to Boss Zhu: "I really want to know you in the past. At that time, you must have been like us when we were young, a young man with high spirits and full of hope."

"We might have a lot of common topics, but unfortunately, I met you at the wrong time and only met a greedy philistine."

"You could have snatched the secret recipe from me directly, but you were still willing to pay for it, just so that I would not be unable to treat my deaf-mute wife. When you made that decision, did you regain some of your former rationality in your heart?"

I don’t know how long it took, but the heavy rain stopped and the Qianyan Army that Yan Fei had sent a message to find also arrived.

Zhu Fu was detained by the Qianyan Army and was about to be sent to "Liyue Harbor". Before leaving, he took one last look at Ye Luo.

"Ye Luo, the young man who slays dragons eventually becomes an evil dragon. You are full of vigor and vitality now, and you are indeed very similar to me in the past. But remember, the more people have, the more greedy they will become. I hope that by that time, you will still be Ye Luo, and not the next Zhu Fu."

Ye Luo shook his wet sleeves and said, "You don't understand me at all. You may have gone from being a poor man to being rich enough to rival a country."

"And I have nothing, and now I can barely survive. Are we the same? No, we will never go down the same path."

Boss Zhu sneered and was sent to the prison van. The people of "Mingyun Town" cheered and danced. To them, Zhu Fu was worse than a flood or a beast. Zhu Fu's capture was better than changing the world.

Xiangling pulled out a wet gauze and wrapped Ye Luo's wound, and said carefully: "Ye Luo, thank you for saving me. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid now..."

Ye Luo quickly comforted him: "We are friends. I saved my friend from the bottom of my heart, not to make him feel guilty."

Xiangling said, "The gauze is wet and can only stop the bleeding temporarily. We need to quickly get clean gauze to change your dressing."

"It's okay. These are just minor injuries. I used to get them all over my body when I was a kid."

Ye Luoyun said this calmly, but Xiangling couldn't help but be shocked.

"Are injuries like this common to you?"

Ye Luo said nonchalantly, "When I was a child, I was smaller and thinner than others, and I didn't have many friends in the orphanage, so I was often bullied by gangs of people. I was often beaten all over my body, and this kind of minor injuries were common."

Before Xiangling could say anything, the people of Mingyun Town surrounded everyone, lifted Ye Luo up high, threw him into the air, and shouted "he is a hero".

In their eyes, Ye Luo, who planned everything, provided precise guidance, helped them get rid of the trouble they had always suffered, and escaped unscathed, was a hero sent from heaven.

After Ye Luo was put down, he took Xiang Ling to the front of everyone and introduced her: "Let me introduce you to all the elders and villagers. This is Xiang Ling, the chef of the Wanmintang in Liyue Harbor!"

"This time, we came here not only to wipe out Zhu Fu, the tyrant who monopolized the business, but also for another purpose, which is..."

Xiangling raised the spatula happily: "I will teach you how to make brand new dishes that have never been seen in Teyvat, and I will donate all the recipes for free. Let's make Mingyun Town famous as a food street, and let every country on the continent of Teyvat know us. From now on, the revitalization of Mingyun Town depends on our joint efforts!"

Ye Luo shouted: "From now on, there will be no monopoly in Mingyun Town. Let's get rich together, help each other, and cooperate for mutual benefit. Let's move towards a better tomorrow together, okay!"

"Good!" The crowd responded in unison.
