Chapter 30: Huaijun has been disfigured and his throat cut
The food in this restaurant is really bad.
No matter how hard Sheng Ran's life was, she never hurt her stomach.
She put down her chopsticks after taking a few bites, turned to look at the two beastly husbands beside her, and found that they ate even less than her.
The raven would not eat anything of unknown origin, and was used to being starved by its original owner, so it didn't even touch the food after it was served.
Ling Rui took a bite, but spat it out before it went down his throat, and stomped on the ground again and again with disgust.
After confirming that they had enough physical strength to sustain the subsequent consumption, Sheng Ran did not force them and signaled them to continue.
I didn't expect to meet a shop owner who didn't believe in superstition.
He is a pig who loves to eat delicious food and also loves to cook delicious food. He claims that his cooking skills are not the best in the world, but at least the best in Beining.
Some time ago, I heard that the Holy Female in the Central City had learned many skills to benefit the people under the inspiration of the Beast God, and had promoted advanced cooking skills on a large scale in the Central City.
He traveled across mountains and rivers to go there for further studies, and brought what he learned back to Bac Ninh, further consolidating the position of his restaurant in Bac Ninh.
Recently, the restaurant has been crowded with diners, and each of them licks the bottom of their bowls clean before leaving.
This is the first time I meet someone who doesn’t like to eat.
"Your wife? What delicious food can she make?" The owner straightened his posture and asked humbly.
Sheng Ran didn't expect that after coming to Beining, she would hear news about the Saint Sister.
She didn't want to have anything to do with anyone or anything in Central City, so she gave a perfunctory smile, shook her head and wanted to leave.
After observing her for a while, the owner found that she seemed unable to speak.
The disheveled orc next to him also noticed this and said in a contemptuous tone, "Is this female mute? She can't even speak, and yet she can cook food. Isn't she afraid of being laughed at for bragging?"
Ling Rui's expression froze. He gritted his teeth and suddenly raised his hand to activate his special ability. A spike of earth pierced the man's heart, and blood splattered on the spot.
Raven frowned and created a gust of wind in time to throw the corpse and blood into the wilderness outside the city to avoid causing trouble.
"I'll handle this kind of thing from now on." He reminded Ling Rui, "You're making such a big scene that it's hard to wrap up."
Ling Rui didn't care about these nonsense. He raised his eyes and glanced around, then said loudly: "In my country, anyone who bullies a female can be killed, even if they don't hurt anyone."
"If I hear anyone say anything bad about my wife again, I'll have plenty of time to review the law with you."
This act was self-defense, but Ling Rui and Raven's killing methods were too cruel. The people present were still worried and dispersed in fear.
No matter how curious the owner was, he didn't dare to go up and ask.
He actually doesn't look down on Sheng Ran just because she is mute.
There are already many experts among the people, and many orcs with physical disabilities are actually very talented in other aspects.
He was itching to try it out and wanted to know who Sheng Ran was and what kind of delicious food she could cook.
Is she comparable to the celestial saint in the central city?
Sheng Ran didn't intend to continue wasting time with this group of people.
I took a look at the sky and saw that Zuixianlou opened late, so this was the perfect time to go.
I heard a few orcs chatting on the way.
"How about going to Zuixianlou today and having some fun? I heard that mermaid is finally willing to sing!"
"I don't believe it. Every time they say that, it's all hype! Zuixianlou has been promoting it for so long, but no one has even seen a mermaid!"
"He claimed to be the prince of the Deep Sea Kingdom. Bah! How could such a noble figure have fallen to such a brothel and tavern?"
"Regardless of whether he's a prince or not, he's still incredibly noble! I've heard that mermaids have beautiful faces, hair as smooth as silk, and can sing and cry like pearls! Remember those treasures recently auctioned at Zuixianlou? They were all extraordinary, proving that mermaids definitely exist!"
"I also heard that he was forced to be sold here and he has been resisting performing, which is why we failed!"
…
After Sheng Ran became blind and mute, her sense of smell and hearing became very sensitive, so she naturally heard this conversation.
The prince, who had been pampered since childhood, became the talk of countless common people in a foreign country. Her heart sank, and she didn't know how to face Huai Jun later.
From these people, we can learn that he has not yet performed on stage, probably because of his inherent dignity.
But Zuixianlou is so cruel, how could they agree so easily?
How he did it and what exactly happened is still unknown.
Her emotions were in a mess and her pace quickened.
Ling Rui comforted her awkwardly, "My dear wife, don't worry. At least Huai Jun really hasn't fallen to the level of a tavern headliner... That's good news."
Raven didn't know when she started to care about Huai Jun so much. She followed in silence, with a gloomy look in her eyes.
"My dear wife, this is Zuixianlou." Ling Rui had a good sense of direction and based on his previous memory, he led Sheng Ran to a fancy plaque.
Dusk enveloped half the street, and the red lanterns of Zuixianlou were already brightly lit.
The sounds of stringed instruments and laughter rolled out from the carved windows, and the voices of men and women mingled with the smell of wine filled the air.
She held Ling Rui's hand and was about to write.
Ling Rui interrupted, "I know, you've stressed this many times. No matter how much it costs, even if it's ten times higher than before, we must redeem it!"
"Don't worry, even if it's inconvenient for you to speak, I can understand and express whatever you want to say."
Sheng Ran looked at him suspiciously. Is he really that powerful?
She clearly hadn't had time to tell him this!
When did Ling Rui know him so well!
Raven secretly gave Ling Rui a look, warning him not to reveal his mind-reading ability.
Ling Rui ignored him and led the way into Zuixianlou, lavishly throwing a pile of gold on the cash box.
After this move, no one would look down on them as much as before.
The shopkeeper came forward and said, "Would you like to listen to music or drink? What kind of handsome men do you like? I have all kinds!"
The consumers here are generally females. He walked straight towards Sheng Ran who was traveling with him.
The shopkeeper stared at her face behind the veil and felt that it looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
Ling Rui frowned and looked at him. What kind of random recommendations were he giving to his wife?
"My wife doesn't like the rouge and powder you have here. We are here to—"
A gust of wind blew by, gently lifting Sheng Ran's veil. The shopkeeper clapped his hands and suddenly remembered, "Oh! You are a big customer, a regular customer! It's been a long time since we last met!"
"She's been pampered by some beast lately, and she's become much prettier. I almost didn't recognize her! But after choosing so many, I still think the one from Zuixianlou is better!"
"Please come in, I'll find those handsome guys you used to like!"
Sheng Ran froze in place with an awkward expression, thinking that this shopkeeper really enjoyed himself.
She didn't say a word, so how could he keep on nagging?
Where to put her face?
Ling Rui, standing aside, had a face as pale as steel. He tightly protected Sheng Ran and prevented her from getting close. "My wife isn't here for pleasure. We're here to redeem her!"
"That mermaid I sold you earlier, how much is it for? Name your price!"
The shopkeeper's meal awakened deeper memories.
This person is not only a big customer, but also the victim of the mermaid's cheap sale.
That mermaid has been disfigured and had her throat cut. How much is she worth?
This is another case of him coming here to give money.
