Protect Our Chief
Chapter 915 - 36: Young Lady Lici "Sweeps Through" the Immortal Dynasty
In the restaurant, all the attendants carry cultivation, moving swiftly like the wind. Although most of them are at the second or third layer of the Qi Refining Realm, using fairly basic body techniques, it’s clear they’re legitimate Black Tortoise Cultivators.
Near the entrance, inside the cabinet, stacks of Fierce Beast Flesh are neatly arranged within the Ice Crystal Array Library, appearing fresh and gleaming, enticing one’s appetite. In another cabinet nearby, there are sauces, Spirit Vegetables, Spirit Fruits, everything well-organized.
On the sign at the entrance, vibrant colors are used to write a few large sentences: "Special Discount! For the next three days, the restaurant offers an unlimited supply of Tier Five Spirit Rhinoceros White Beef."
Among them, the words "Tier Five Spirit Rhinoceros White Beef" and "unlimited supply" are bold and enlarged, making them especially prominent.
At this moment.
In front of the restaurant counter, a whimsical lady is confronting the restaurant owner. The two of them grasp each side of a plate of beef, their actions seemingly frozen like a statue.
The lady is wearing a goose yellow gown, her face still holding a bit of baby fat, looking whimsical and adorable—it’s none other than Wang Shouzhe’s niece, Wang Lici.
Following her master, Master Yunyang, she arrived at the Cold Moon Immortal Dynasty, and unknowingly thirty years have passed. Now, Wang Lici is eighty-eight years old, but she still looks exactly the same as she did back then, retaining her whimsical appearance.
However, in these thirty years, her strength has advanced by leaps and bounds; last year she already broke through the sixth layer of the Celestial Human Realm.
Continuing at this cultivation speed, she has a high probability of breaking into the Purple Mansion Realm before reaching one hundred and fifty years old.
Opposite Wang Lici, the restaurant owner is a middle-aged man dressed in luxurious clothing, wearing a headpiece with distinctive Cold Moon features, his chin adorned with a small mustache, exuding a sharp and shrewd appearance.
"Boss, this is my Tier Five Spirit Rhinoceros White Beef." Wang Lici exerted force with her hands, trying to pull the tray away from the owner’s grip, but finding it wouldn’t budge, a hint of confusion appeared on her whimsical face, "Boss, why aren’t you letting go?"
The restaurant owner looked at Wang Lici’s face, still with baby fat, filled with reluctance and helplessness: "Miss, can you still eat?"
"Of course, I can." Wang Lici nodded affirmatively.
"But you’ve already eaten twenty plates..." The restaurant owner looked tearful, "If you eat any more, my stock of Spirit Rhinoceros White Beef will not suffice."
"But, your sign clearly states ’Tier Five Spirit Rhinoceros White Beef unlimited supply’." Wang Lici blinked her large, innocent eyes, her expression purely naive, "Are you writing casually without meaning it?"
The restaurant owner pulled a long face, unable to stop muttering to himself.
Indeed, the sign says so, but just one plate of the Tier Five Spirit Rhinoceros White Beef from his restaurant weighs three pounds. An average Celestial Human Realm expert can consume four to five plates, and even those cultivating War Body Techniques at most can manage ten plates. Eating more would cause the surging blood energy contained within the Spirit Beast Flesh to accumulate within the body, adversely affecting the body.
This is the fundamental reason he dared to write "unlimited supply." Even if the supply is unrestricted, the limits of a cultivator’s appetite are inherent, making it impossible to eat endlessly.
Moreover, this restaurant charges per person, with varying costs based on the level of power. The charge for Celestial Human Realm cultivators is several times higher than that for the Spirit Platform Realm, and this fee already covers the consumption of Tier Five Spirit Rhinoceros White Beef.
Relying on this "unlimited supply" gimmick, he attracted a lot of popularity, earning considerable money.
But he never expected to encounter someone like Wang Lici—appearing non-threatening, yet her stomach is like a bottomless pit, continually devouring.
In this situation, he’s incurred significant losses.
After a long stalemate, the restaurant owner reluctantly let go of the tray.
The most crucial aspect of running a restaurant is credibility and reputation. Ultimately, he created this gimmick, so even with tears in his eyes, he must uphold it, for once word spreads, his business would no longer be viable.
Wang Lici returned to the elegant seat holding the platter of Tier Five Spirit Rhinoceros White Beef.
In the elegant seat, another sparkling-eyed, agile-browed girl sat. Behind the girl stood a human-shaped puppet clad in metal armor, exuding strong power.
Next to the table, squatted five half-grown wolf cubs. They sat neatly in a row, their blue eyes fixated on the plate of meat in Wang Lici’s hand, constantly flicking their crimson tongues.
Ignoring their eager gazes, Wang Lici sat back at the elegant seat, and said to the girl on the other side of the table, "Wan’er sister, eat quickly~ after finishing this plate, I’ll get more."
"Thank you, Sister Lici."
The girl smiled sweetly at Wang Lici, then picked up the cut Spirit Rhinoceros White Beef and began grilling it.
This girl is from the Suiyun Lan family’s direct lineage, named "Lan Wan’er."
Suiyun State is one of the states in the west of Cold Moon Immortal Dynasty, separated from Helan State by the Desert North State. The Lan family is a third-grade noble family in Suiyun State, one of the notable powers in the region, strong and influential.
Back when Master Yunyang brought Wang Lici to the Cold Moon Immortal Dynasty, the first stop was the Suiyun Lan family, where Wang Lici stayed for over a decade.
After more than a decade, the "friend" who owed Master Yunyang two chickens could no longer endure and politely invited Master Yunyang to make a round exit.
