The timid Ming Luo unexpectedly arrives at the Suoma Continent, where demons and monsters run rampant. As the only human, she embarks on an unconventional path of cultivation to preserve her life.<...
Just when Mingluo was busy collecting strange supplies and sowing seeds in order to practice and master plant-based skills, they finally arrived in Dajin City.
Unlike what Mingluo had imagined, although this place was a transportation fortress, it did not have a prosperous scene. Instead, everyone was walking hurriedly on the road with different expressions, giving people a sense of a mixed crowd. Even the roadside vendors gave people a feeling that they were not easy to mess with.
Seeing how chaotic the place was, Fat Tao huddled even more on Ye Zhihan's shoulder and had no intention of chatting with Ming Luo. He just stared cautiously at passers-by with his big watery eyes, fearing that these people would attack him. It could be said that he fully fulfilled the function of a danger detector.
Whenever Ming Luo passed by someone, he couldn't help but wonder what species the other person was. Just then, a charming and enchanting woman came towards him. When she saw that Ye Zhihan was handsome, she cast a flirtatious glance at him. When she passed by Ye Zhihan, she even wanted to throw herself into Ye Zhihan's arms.
Ming Luo raised his eyes to look at Ye Zhihan, only to see that his expression was as cold as ever. He refused to even glance at the woman, and even avoided the woman's hot body that was thrown into his arms without leaving a trace.
Seeing a female demon actively seducing Ye Zhihan, Mingluo didn't know what was going on, she just felt very angry. She turned around and looked at the woman twice more, but saw that the woman was not angry after she found out. Instead, she blinked at Mingluo with a look of infatuation on her face.
After embarking on the path of cultivation, Ming Luo's ears, eyes, and smell became sharp. When the woman passed by, she could smell the pungent scent mixed with the fragrance of powder from two meters away.
Ming Luo was curious, so he asked Ye Zhihan quietly, "Was that a vixen just now?"
Ye Zhihan kept walking. He protected Ming Luo and quickly walked out of the crowd on the street. He replied to Ming Luo, "Bi Yi, good at disguise."
Fatty continued to explain to Mingluo, "Chaye can imitate the appearance of various demons. They are extremely cunning, so it's best not to deal with them. Also, her aura is gray-green."
Chameleon refers to chameleons. Mingluo silently memorized these knowledge points in the little notebook in his mind, and then said: "I also want to become anyone. This is simply an essential survival skill!"
Ye Zhihan frowned slightly. Learning camouflage skills might be several times more difficult than mastering the tree demon technique. It seemed that he would have to catch a chameleon for Ming Luo when he had time.
…
Because of the long journey and the manipulation of spiritual power to sow plants, Ming Luo's body was a little exhausted. When passing by the bun stall, Ming Luo's stomach growled.
Ming Luo was just about to suggest that everyone take a break, but Ye Zhihan didn't even look at the bun stall, and directly led Ming Luo into the luxuriously decorated restaurant nearby. Ming Luo quickly glanced at the name of the store, and saw three large gold-plated characters written in vigorous and powerful strokes on the plaque: "Shixianglou".
Mingluo didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she felt that the three golden characters seemed to move.
As soon as we entered the door, a waiter with a sweet voice came up to us and said, "Please come in!"
Fat Peach flew from Ye Zhihan's shoulder to Mingluo's side, and whispered in her ear, "This is an oriole demon. Its aura is azure blue, and it seems to have good character."
Ming Luo nodded and hugged Fatty Tao. She felt a little guilty. This place looked very expensive. She was broke now. If she followed Ye Zhihan to such a luxurious restaurant, he would definitely spend a lot of money. So she reached out and gently tugged at Ye Zhihan's sleeve, whispering, "I think the bun shop outside will be better."
Who knew that after Mingluo said this, before Ye Zhihan responded, Fat Peach became unhappy. It muttered, "What's so delicious about buns? If you want to eat, you must eat something good. I think this restaurant is very good!"
Ye Zhihan turned his head to look at the petite Mingluo, guessing that the girl was probably trying to save him money, so he ruffled her hair and said, "This restaurant has excellent food, it's worth a try."
Ming Luo couldn't persuade Ye Zhihan, so he had to follow him to the second floor.
The second floor was still an open lobby, filled with monsters enjoying delicious food. There were bold and rough monsters, gentle and weak monsters, and some strange-looking monsters. Mingluo looked at the guests in the restaurant while trying his best to be polite.
Led by the waiter, the two of them sat in seats near the window with a better view.
The waiter introduced with a big smile, "This is the best seat in our Shixianglou with the best view. You can see the bustling streets of Dajin City. At night, when the whole street is lit up with lanterns, it's a magnificent sight, perfect for couples to enjoy together!"
Mingluo quickly retorted that she and Ye Zhihan were not a couple, but the waiter just put on a smile that said "I know everything", making it difficult for Mingluo to explain or not explain.
On the contrary, Ye Zhihan appeared calm on the surface, but was very happy in his heart. He kept this information in mind, and then he did not look at the restaurant menu, but verbally ordered a few dishes to the waiter, gave the waiter some spirit stones, and asked him to go downstairs to buy some buns.
The waiter took the spirit stones and weighed them. It was obvious that the spirit stones left over from buying the buns were his tip. Seeing that his tip was not small, the waiter put the spirit stones into his arms with a smile on his face, and jumped over the railing on the second floor of the restaurant happily.
"Hey!!!" Ming Luo was startled by the waiter who suddenly climbed over the railing. She jumped up from the chair and looked down, only to see the waiter running to the bun shop with nimble legs and feet, without any signs of injury.
She almost forgot that these things that looked like humans were actually not humans, but monsters. This height was no problem for them. What's more, Xiao Er was an oriole. Even if he jumped off a cliff, he could fly for you to see.
The saying that money gets things done is still very important. The waiter, who received a high tip, bought the buns and immediately put them in his arms, fearing that the buns would get cold. He then spread his wings and flew up to the second floor and handed the buns to Ye Zhihan, saying, "We don't allow you to bring your own food and drinks, but I see that you two look kind, so you should eat these buns while they're hot!"
After saying that, the waiter ran back downstairs to greet other customers. Mingluo guessed that he must not want the shopkeeper to find out that he bought buns for customers without permission, so he went down directly from the second floor.
After a while, the waiter brought up their table of food at an astonishing speed. While serving the dishes, he smiled flatteringly and kept introducing them to the scenic spots worth visiting in Dajin City.
Ming Luo saw that the table next to them had clearly arrived first but had not yet been served any food, so he guessed that the waiter in this restaurant was still giving special care to this wealthy couple.
"Ye Zhihan, did you give him a lot of tips?" Ming Luo finally asked.
"Yeah." Ye Zhihan answered while pouring wine.
It seemed that Mingluo could finally put his mind at ease. Although Ye Zhihan looked like a lone ranger, he was generous and seemed to have some family background, so there was no need to worry about him spending money.
It was also because she had always followed Ye Zhihan to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests and had never been to the city, so she mistakenly thought that Ye Zhihan was a poor shadow demon wandering in the troubled times.
Then, just eat to your heart’s content!
