"Sir, the food you requested is here."
Seven or eight maids each brought a dish and presented it to Shui Yaoyao, her eyes full of anticipation.
"Hey, eight dishes. I ordered meat especially for you. This one is braised fire demon beef leg, this one is stewed lightning rabbit, and this one is..."
Gu Yuan introduced each dish to Shui Yaoyao, and before he finished, Shui Yaoyao started to pick up her chopsticks impatiently.
Showing a helpless smile, Gu Yuan gestured and was about to say something when a maid approached Gu Yuan and whispered in his ear, "Sir, the bed has been prepared for you in room 48 next door. You can go there after you finish your meal."
"Okay. Hmm? What?"
Gu Yuan was stunned and looked at the maid in surprise.
"Isn't the young master..." The maid looked at Shui Yaoyao who was eating with hearty mouthfuls, then looked at Gu Yuan with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
Gu Yuan immediately understood what the maid meant and couldn't help but smile bitterly. What were they talking about?
"Well...thank you, but it's not what you think." Gu Yuan said with a smile.
"Ah? Sorry, I misunderstood." The maid apologized quickly.
"It's okay, you guys can leave first. We'll call you if we need you."
"Woo woo, it's so delicious. I haven't eaten something so delicious in a long time!"
Shui Yaoyao wolfed down the food on the table, not caring about the oil stains dripping onto her chest.
"Eat slowly, no one is going to snatch the food from you." Gu Yuan said helplessly. Why does this girl look like a starving ghost?
"Brother Gu Yuan, come on, eat some too. It's really delicious." Shui Yaoyao dropped the chopsticks in her hand and picked up a rabbit leg to chew on. You know, this is a lightning rabbit, and its legs are about the same size as four chicken legs.
"This Lightning Rabbit runs extremely fast, so its hind legs are very powerful. That's why the meat on its hind legs is very chewy. What do you think?"
"Hmm, hmm, very delicious and elastic." Shui Yaoyao nodded vigorously in agreement.
"Where is your home? Why do I feel like you haven't eaten for a long time?" Gu Yuan asked as he put a piece of beef into Shui Yaoyao's bowl.
“Hmm…”
Hearing Gu Yuan's question, Shui Yaoyao slowed down, her big watery eyes quickly filled with mist, and she looked aggrieved.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Did you choke?" Gu Yuan asked hurriedly.
Shui Yaoyao shook her head, swallowed the beef with difficulty, and said with a look of grievance: "Brother Ye and I have traveled a long way to get here, and he didn't even take me to eat. In the end, he ran off to discuss things with the city lord. He doesn't care about me at all."
"Brother Ye? City Lord?"
"Well, Brother Ye went to discuss something with City Lord Lin."
"You are not from the Beast Taming City?" Gu Yuan was shocked and instantly thought of something.
"No, Brother Ye and I came from the imperial capital." Shui Yaoyao explained.
"The Imperial Capital?"
Gu Yuan frowned. The imperial capital was thousands of miles away. What was their purpose? He wondered if the so-called "Brother Ye" had any connection to the powerful person Gu Shang had mentioned.
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Shui Yaoyao asked.
"Uh, no problem, no problem. I thought you were from the Beast Taming City." Gu Yuan answered casually, but he became secretly alert in his heart.
"Ah, I'm full!"
Shui Yaoyao wiped her mouth contentedly, her face filled with joy. She hadn't eaten so full in a long time.
"Your appetite is too scary, isn't it?" Gu Yuan couldn't help but say as he looked at the dishes that Shui Yaoyao had finished alone.
"Hehe, I just couldn't help myself for a moment." Shui Yaoyao touched her face embarrassedly.
"Don't move."
Suddenly, Gu Yuan slowly approached Shui Yaoyao and looked at her pink face. Her snow-white skin was as if sprinkled with moonlight, especially her long eyelashes drooping gently, as delicate as a porcelain doll. Gu Yuan had an urge to kiss her.
Looking at the face slowly approaching, Shui Yaoyao's breathing suddenly quickened, and her heart was beating like a deer. In panic, Shui Yaoyao didn't know what to do.
"There's a vegetable leaf at the corner of his mouth."
Gu Yuan reached out and gently took the leaf off, then gestured to Shui Yaoyao to see it.
Shui Yaoyao suddenly felt relieved. Fortunately...
Suddenly, the atmosphere between the two became a little awkward.
"Have you finished eating?" After a long time, Gu Yuan spoke to break the silence.
"Yeah." Shui Yaoyao hummed softly.
"Wait here, I'll go pay the bill."
"I...I'll go with you." Shui Yaoyao lowered her head. For some reason, she didn't want to stay here alone.
"Okay then, don't look around after you go out." Gu Yuan said with a smile.
"No!" Shui Yaoyao was a little embarrassed.
After walking out of room 49, Gu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know why, but he felt an inexplicable urge in his heart.
In front of the junction of the third and fourth floors is where the checkout takes place.
"Check out room 49." Gu Yuan handed over his orange card and said.
"Okay sir, please wait a moment."
After a while, the maid looked at Gu Yuan, her face full of apology, "I'm sorry, sir, the amount on your card is not enough."
"Uh, how much difference?"
"Your spending this time totaled 103,000 gold coins, but you only have 3,000 gold coins on your card, leaving you short of 100,000 gold coins."
"One hundred thousand?"
Gu Yuan's jaw almost dropped. Is this a joke?
"Yes, sir. You ordered eight dishes in total, which cost a total of 103,000 gold coins."
Although he knew the money might not be enough, Gu Yuan didn't expect the cost here to be so high. Eight dishes cost 100,000! This is a dead giveaway!
