"Huh? Why am I laughing for no reason?" The two brothers at the next table were stunned.
"Forget it, life is short, enjoy it while you can, let's keep drinking!"
The two brothers thought it was due to drinking and didn't think much about it.
Soon, the second dish was served at Lan Zhi's table.
"Ten Flame Prawns, please enjoy your meal, sir." The waiter lifted the spiritual shield on the plate.
On the porcelain white plate with blue and white patterns, ten peeled snow shrimps are curled up. The shrimp threads have been removed and the shrimp meat is pure white like snow, but each shrimp is burning with red flames. As the flames burn, the snow shrimps gradually turn into the shape of meat balls, with red flame-like lines appearing on them, emitting rich spiritual fluctuations.
“…No wonder this dish costs ten spirit stones.”
Lan Zheyu tasted a piece of shrimp with chopsticks and felt the thin spiritual energy flow down the esophagus into the stomach and intestines, blending into the skin and bones, bringing a hint of warmth.
Then, the waiter came in with a tray with two small bowls on it. One of the bowls was in the shape of a heart and contained white soup, which represented the Righteous Heart.
Lan Zheyu asked, "What kind of meat is in this soup? Could it be the heart of some animal?"
The waiter asked with a smile, "You are not from our Mulin City, are you?"
"No, I'm from a small country nearby."
The waiter said, "We have a spirit beast in Xuanhuang Country called the Righteous Beast. This spirit beast feeds on flower petals and never eats meat. Even the water it drinks is morning dew and rainwater."
"The meat from the front leg of the Zhengqi Beast nourishes the human heart, so the soup made from it is called Zhengqi Heart."
"Hin leg meat nourishes the kidneys, and the soup made from it is called Ruyi Shen."
"Meat from the head and face can clear the liver and improve eyesight. The dish made from it is called longevity liver."
"Ears into the lungs..."
The waiter enthusiastically introduced the various parts of the meat of the Zhengqi Beast and then left. But after a while, he came back with three cups of drinks with white smoke and a bowl of longevity liver.
Lan Zheyu said, "We didn't order these."
The waiter smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir. This is a free gift. We don't charge any extra spirit stones. This bowl of longevity liver is a gift from our boss to this little friend."
The "little friend" he mentioned refers to white jadeite.
When the shopkeeper saw that Lan Zhi and her two companions brought three "children" but only ordered two dishes and the "children" didn't eat a single bite of rice, he gave them an extra bowl of longevity liver.
As for these three drinks, they are free.
The waiter said, "This is frozen mist tea. You have to wait until the white smoke has completely dissipated before you can drink it."
Lan Zheyu nodded: "Thank you."
The waiter placed the longevity liver in front of the "little friend".
Bai Feicui curled her lips and said thank you.
After the waiter left, Lan Zheyu whispered, "Azhi, this shop owner isn't going to rip us off, is he?"
Once when I passed by a certain country, I stayed at an inn for dinner. The owner was very welcoming and gave me two bowls of noodles for free. But when it came time to pay the bill, the owner immediately changed his attitude and said that the two bowls of noodles cost one hundred taels each, not a penny less. He also said that this was the price for outsiders, and he was not afraid even if the matter was brought to the government.
Although Lan Zhi could afford two hundred taels, she was not a sucker, not to mention that Jun Weihe was present. Jun Weihe didn't waste any words and beat the shopkeeper on the spot.
Upon seeing this, the waiter quickly ran out secretly to ask for help, and soon came back with a dozen constables.
Among them, the chief constable is a cultivator in the Qingyuan realm.
This cultivator was the nephew of the innkeeper. As soon as he came in, he threatened to destroy Jun Weihe's cultivation and break his legs.
Upon hearing this, Jun Weihe destroyed the chief constable's cultivation, broke his limbs, and sent him to the government.
Unexpectedly, the county magistrate and the chief constable were in cahoots.
So, Jun Weihe also dismissed the county magistrate. Finally, he left with Lan Zhi and others openly, and no one dared to stop him. Afterwards, the local court issued a wanted order for Jun Weihe, but Jun Weihe and others were just passing by and had left long ago.
Lan Zheyu was afraid that the restaurant in Mulin City was also a scam. The inn he encountered last time only charged two hundred taels of silver, but this restaurant required payment in spirit stones. What if they asked for several hundred spirit stones?
"It's okay, let's eat first," Lan Zhi said. She felt that the atmosphere in Mulin City was different from that black shop, and even if it really was a black shop, she wouldn't be afraid. Although Mulin City was home to many powerful people, Lan Zhi was no pushover. Her strength had increased significantly during this journey, and she carried more poisonous insects and venomous insects with her.
Lan Zheyu whispered, "Anyone who can open a restaurant like this must have a powerful backer. Don't let one person get in trouble and cause a whole bunch of them to come out..."
Lan Zhi also whispered: "A gentleman's revenge is never too late, even if you suffer a loss now, you can get it back later."
Hearing this, Bai Feicui couldn't help but laugh. He said, "Don't worry. If anything really happens, I'll take action."
He changed his position and held Qing'er, then used his spiritual power to push the longevity liver on the table in front of Lanzhi and said softly, "Here you go."
Lan Zhi shook her head and pushed the bowl back, "This is a gift from the shopkeeper."
She wouldn't compete with her contracted beast for food. Besides, Lan Zhi didn't have a big appetite, so she just wanted to try some dishes for fun.
Bai Feicui nodded and didn't refuse. He didn't move, and the small bowl flew up automatically and came to his mouth. Bai Feicui drank it all in a few gulps. If he wasn't afraid of scaring the child, he would have finished it in one bite.
However, after eating, Bai Feicui frowned, "My stomach hurts."
Lan Zhi said, "Then I'll hold Qing'er while you go to the toilet?"
White Jade shook her head.
Lan Zheyu asked, "Are you suffering from acclimatization?"
Bai Feicui still shook her head, her bright red lips gently pursed, and her clear green eyes covered by the black veil flashed with a hint of pain.
The beast had a strong tolerance for pain. When he said "stomach ache", it wasn't the kind of pain an ordinary person would have from a stomach upset. It was like someone repeatedly stabbed his stomach with a knife and then rotated the handle 360 degrees...
Could it be that this food is poisonous?
Bai Feicui looked at Lan Zhi and asked, "Master, does it hurt?"
Lan Zhi said: "It doesn't hurt, and it feels like soaking in a hot spring."
Lan Zheyu said, "I also feel warm and comfortable."
Bai Feicui hummed, and in order not to worry others, he said, "It's okay, I don't feel any pain anymore."
However, Qing'er began to babble angrily, as if accusing Bai Feicui of lying.
Lan Zhi stretched out her hand, and a hazy light emanated from her palm. At the same time, the Lanshen Flower in her dantian floated out.
She used the orchid flower to assist in the healing spell, and a soft light enveloped the entire body of the white jadeite.
Lan Zhi asked: "Does it still hurt?"
