Bai Feicui shook her head and said, "Thank you."
Lan Zhi said, "There's no need to be so polite between you and me."
After the meal, Lan Zhi paid the bill, and the waiter escorted them out of the inn. "Goodbye, sir. Welcome to come often in the future."
Lan Zheyu thought: It is impossible to come here often. Although the food tastes good, the price is too high. It is okay to eat here occasionally, but I will go bankrupt if I eat here every day.
However, Lan Zheyu looked back at the restaurant and made up his mind to work hard to earn spirit stones so that his sister could afford such meals every day.
At this moment, in the restaurant, the shopkeeper stood on the second floor, looking down at the backs of Lan Zhi and others as they left, with a frown on his face.
The young man next to him said to him, "Dad, don't look at them. They look shabby."
The shopkeeper touched his chin and said, "What do you know? A boy of twelve or thirteen, without the slightest spiritual energy fluctuation, looks like an ordinary person, but he can still walk normally even with his eyes blindfolded, which shows that he is actually a cultivator. It is impossible for a cultivator below the Chengyuan realm to restrain his spiritual energy fluctuations so perfectly, which means that he is a cultivator... There must be something strange about such a young and powerful person."
The young man muttered, "What's so strange about this? I've heard that there are countries in this world that are even more powerful than our Xuanhuang Nation. Some babies are born at the Chengyuan realm, naturally powerful. Compared to that, what's so strange about a twelve or thirteen-year-old reaching the Chengyuan realm?"
The shopkeeper glanced at him and said, "I can tell you're not paying attention. Your thinking is too simple. You need to learn your father's way of thinking. After all, we run a restaurant and welcome guests from all over the world. We must be discerning! There are indeed geniuses in this world, but geniuses are usually born into wealthy families, surrounded by people. Even a poor young master can't help hold a child like a follower... And did you hear him call that woman "Master"? I suspect he is a humanoid beast!"
Hearing this, the young man's breath hitched, and he said, "How is this possible... Once a vicious beast consumes the flesh and blood of a righteous beast, it will definitely suffer from unbearable abdominal pain and then transform into its original form. But this beast has clearly eaten the righteous liver, yet it still maintains its human form..."
"Yes, I also find it strange. Anyone who has eaten the meat of a righteous beast within half an hour has a fragrance on their body. This smell can only be smelled by people like us who have lived in the Xuanhuang Kingdom for more than ten generations, while outsiders can smell nothing. That twelve or thirteen-year-old child also has this fragrance, which means that he really ate the meat, but still maintained his human form..." The shopkeeper muttered to himself, "Could it be that I was wrong? He is indeed an ordinary cultivator, not a vicious beast..."
The young man seemed a little impatient. He said, "Dad, don't dwell on this. We are in the Xuanhuang Kingdom. No humanoid beasts dare to come here. If they really come, they will be besieged!"
"That's right. Unless the beast wants to die, it will come to us. It seems that the boy is not a beast..." At this point, the shopkeeper sighed and became depressed. Because in the Xuanhuang Kingdom, if you catch a human-shaped beast, it is a great achievement. The shopkeeper has a big family and is no longer satisfied with doing business. He wants to get an official position by making meritorious deeds, even if it is just a small nominal official. "It would be great if I could catch a beast."
The young man said, "Dad, stop daydreaming. You might as well give me a few more brothers and sisters. If you have more children, there will definitely be one who can become something successful, right?"
