"This is what happens when you offend someone like me," Gu Changqing snorted coldly and said indifferently.

The reason Gu Changqing didn't whip the Green-Clad Immortal King to death was purely to test the power of his newly acquired weapon. If he had killed him instantly, how could he have tested the weapon?

Without saying a word, Gu Changqing swaggered into the restaurant.

The woman in white came to her senses, said nothing, and immediately followed closely behind.

The two were stunned by the luxurious scene before them as soon as they entered the restaurant.

The restaurant was incredibly spacious, with three floors and a height of about ten meters. Inside, it was ornately decorated and magnificent, with a design that was extremely sophisticated, ingenious, and splendid. The walls were covered with grand and imposing patterns, and the floors were all made of exquisite wood. It was so beautiful that one couldn't bear to step on it.

To their utter surprise, there were so many customers here, and every customer was dressed in a very elegant and sophisticated manner. The embroidery on their clothes was so lifelike that it looked like the real thing, clearly indicating that only the wealthy and powerful could afford to wear such clothes.

No wonder the watchdogs here are so snobbish and look down on people. It turns out this is a high-end and very famous restaurant with a constant stream of customers. With so many guests, they naturally aren't afraid of offending their customers.

"Young master, I didn't expect this restaurant to be so crowded. It's really not easy to have a meal here," the woman in white said with a touch of emotion.

"Silly girl, what's so difficult about it? It might be like this for others, but it's very simple for us," Gu Changqing said with a faint smile, seemingly unconcerned.

Gu Changqing then walked directly to the counter of the restaurant and calmly said, "Find me a private room, and bring up all your best dishes as quickly as possible."

"Sir, you've come at just the right time. We happen to have one private room left, but it's not cheap..." the innkeeper said with a slight smile.

Gu Changqing was about to speak when he was suddenly interrupted by a rough voice.

"Shopkeeper, I'm late. Are there any private rooms left? Please save one for me. I'm hosting a dinner party for some friends today."

A portly, short, stout man in a yellow robe, resembling a pig, was walking towards them, swaying as he went, looking quite comical.

Behind the man in yellow were two burly, tall bodyguards in black, their expressions serious and unsmiling, looking quite intimidating.

"Young Master Huang, you've come at just the right time. There's a single room left, but a gentleman just asked for it and wants the same room too. What should we do?" The innkeeper said with a fawning expression when he saw the man in yellow.

"The shopkeeper already said he hasn't placed the order yet, so it's not his. I'll take it." The man in yellow glanced at Gu Changqing and said dismissively.

The reason this man in yellow was so arrogant was because he came from a prominent family and had a powerful background. His father was the city lord, and also the richest family in the city. Most people would avoid him, and if they couldn't avoid him, they would give him some leeway.

The innkeeper was naturally delighted to hear this. Regardless of which of the two people booked the private room, they would both have to pay, so it would be the same for the restaurant and there would be no loss. If they could give the private room to Young Master Huang first, they could also gain some goodwill in front of Young Master Huang, which would naturally be good.

"We were here first, why should we give way to you? We don't need your money, no matter how many spirit stones you need!" the woman in white said indignantly. She had finally entered the restaurant and thought she could have a delicious meal, but then someone else suddenly appeared and she was about to be robbed of her food. She was very unhappy.

Gu Changqing was too lazy to waste words with the fat man, and instead watched the woman reason with them.

"Hey, where did this little beauty come from? Why don't you come with me and have a couple of drinks? You'll save on food and drinks, how about it?" Young Master Huang said with ill intent and a lecherous grin.

"You filthy scoundrel, you're ugly, fat, and disgusting. Just seeing you makes me want to vomit, let alone sit down to eat with you. I'd be full even if I didn't eat for three days and three nights." The woman in white frowned, refused without thinking, and cursed angrily.

"What a spirited young lady! She actually dared to scold me. I've never seen such an interesting woman before. I like her. Come home with me later and be my concubine." The man in yellow laughed instead of getting angry. His skin was thicker than a city wall. He actually wanted to force her to become his concubine.

After the man in yellow finished speaking, he gave a wink, and the two bodyguards in black behind him immediately understood what was going on. They stepped forward and tried to grab the woman in white without saying a word.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Gu Changqing shouted loudly, "Let's see who dares to touch her. She is my woman, and she is already taken. If you know what's good for you, stay away from her, or don't blame me for getting angry. It's hard to say what I might do."

Seeing this, the two bodyguards wisely stopped and waited for the man in yellow to speak.

"Oh, by the way, that private room was reserved by me, Gu. I've taken it, so you can forget about it," Gu Changqing said with a cold laugh.

"Where did you come from, you brat? You're asking for trouble, aren't you? Do you know who's the boss in this city? Everyone knows my name. How dare you compete with me for a woman and a private room? I've never failed to get the woman I've set my sights on, and no one has ever dared to compete with me for what I've set my sights on. You're the first and the last."

The man in yellow was arrogant and disrespectful, showing no regard for Gu Changqing and threatening him dismissively.

"You must be Young Master Gu. Shopkeeper, I advise you to give way to this Young Master Huang. He is the city lord's only son, whom the city lord dotes on. In addition, his family is the wealthiest and most powerful family in the city. You can't afford to offend Young Master Huang, Young Master Gu." Seeing that the two sides were on the verge of a fight, the shopkeeper quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

He runs a business and doesn't want to make the restaurant a mess, especially since he spent a lot of money on renovations. If this happens, it'll cause a huge uproar, so he has no choice but to step in and smooth things over.

"Did you hear that? I'm rich and powerful, and did you see that? My dad even hired two highly skilled bodyguards for me to protect me. You know that? It'll scare you to death if I told you." Fatty Huang was like a proud peacock, arrogant and smug, showing off with unbridled pride.
