Chapter 176: News of his Parents
Fellow Daoist Han saw how Little Fatty got into a fl.u.s.ter, and felt immensely proud. He slowly spoke: ”Hehe, this junior brother, this place has too many prying eyes and ears, it is not a good place to discuss. From how I see it, we should change locations before we talk further!”
Hearing such words, Little Fatty put up his guards at once. He warily thought: ”Although Firmament City could be considered relatively safe on the surface, the number of cultivators being a.s.sa.s.sinated here are not any small figures either! As long as one does not expose any signs of violent fighting, the patrol guards in Firmament City can't be bothered to intervene! Is this guy in front of me trying to pull off such a stunt, luring me to an empty place to ambush me?”
As though he could tell that Little Fatty did not trust him, fellow Daoist Han smiled before throwing something to Little Fatty.
Because the item did not contain any spiritual Qi, and the fact that they were at a crowded place, Little Fatty was not at all afraid that he would get ambushed. Thus, he grabbed the item and was immediately taken aback the moment he observed it.
It turned out that lying in his hands was a jade necklace which had belonged to his mother. Although it was no magical tool or artifact, it was something which Little Fatty's father had carved personally. Usually, his mother would wear it on her all the time, and neither would be seen without the other. Little Fatty had even played with this necklace far too many times when he was by his mother's side. How would it be possible for him to not recognise it?
Now, 10 years have pa.s.sed and the small child is already a grown up man, a talent capable of shocking the cultivation world. But, his parents could not return. The necklace was still s.h.i.+ning as though his parent's smiles were appearing in front of him. But, they were now separated by life and death, and would not be able to see each other again.
Thinking of his parents, even the firm and resolute Little Fatty also could not prevent his tears from dropping. The muscles from his arms then flexed and almost tore his sleeves apart! A wave of killing intent was simultaneously released from his body. Despite being a level stronger than Little Fatty, fellow Daoist Han also could not help but be shocked by the intensity, his face turning white. He hurriedly explained, ”Junior brother Song, the strength of your parents were far greater than mine back then. I do not have the ability to harm them! I only wanted to sell you this piece of information to make some money. Even if you don't want to make a deal with me, you don't have to get so angry right?”
Hearing so, Little Fatty considered for a moment the truth of his words. Then, he gradually restrained his spiritual Qi and calmly spoke, ”Let's go to the Fragrant Restaurant to discuss further!”
The Fragrant Restaurant is a famous restaurant near the transportation portal. It is a restaurant which caters specially to cultivators, the dishes and wine all being made from materials which contained spiritual Qi. Items such as the eyeless fish and spiritual mushroom in Little Fatty's hands would be 2 of their more famous dishes. Naturally, such a dish would not be cheap and this fellow Daoist Han would definitely not be able to go there often. As such, his eyes lit up immediately as he heard what Little Fatty said and nodded, ”Good, good. I will have to trouble junior brother then!”
”No worries!” Little Fatty endured the urge to kill him and brought him to the Fragrant Restaurant, requesting for a private room.
It was as though fellow Daoist Han knew that Little Fatty was wealthy, he totally did not stand on ceremony. He immediately ordered 10 dishes, with each costing a few hundred spiritual stones! It was obviously a little too much for the both of them. Even with Little Fatty's figure, he would only be able to eat at most half, with the rest of it obviously going to waste.
The waiter was a XianTian cultivator with an extremely discerning pair of eyes. He could immediately tell that fellow Daoist Han was a poor man and that the real shot-caller was Little Fatty. Thus, despite how polite he seemed to fellow Daoist Han, his eyes had never s.h.i.+fted from Little Fatty. Only after fellow Daoist Han finished ordering everything did he look at Little Fatty and ask, ”Senior, do you want all of this dishes?”
”We'll get them all!” Little Fatty could not be bothered to stoop to fellow Daoist Han's level and said calmly, ”Give us a few bottles of good wine also!”
”Straightforward!” Fellow Daoist Han thought that Little Fatty would definitely reduce the dishes by a few thus purposefully ordering a few more. But, he never expected that Little Fatty could not be bothered at all. He then could not help but feel elated in his heart as he thought to himself, 'Good, it seems like I met with a fat prey this time!'
But, little did he know that Little Fatty was currently thinking coldly in his heart, 'An idiot who doesn't even know that he is on the verge of death. Just let him have a good last meal! Consider it your last meal!'
Seeing that Little Fatty had agreed, the waiter did not delay and immediately went to prepare the dishes.
Seeing this, fellow Daoist Han could not help but have some doubt in his heart. You have to know, the dishes he ordered was worth almost 10,000 spiritual stones. No ordinary cultivator would be so generous. If it was any other person dressed as shabbily and poor as Little Fatty ordering so many dishes, they would definitely raise suspicions, afraid that he would not be able to pay. But why does it seem like this waiter was not suspicious of Little Fatty in the slightest?
Thinking about this, fellow Daoist Han tested and asked, ”Junior brother Song, it seems that you are extremely familiar with this Fragrance Restaurant? Have you came here before?”
”I only come here occasionally to drink!” Little Fatty replied calmly. In fact, what he said was a complete lie. Ever since he entered the 5th XianTian stage, he had come here extremely often to flaunt his wealth. Every meal he ate would be a table full of good food and wine. Before he leaves, he would not forget to order some take outs either. In the beginning, he was also suspected by them, to they point where he had to make payment first. But after coming a few more times, all of the suspicions within them had cleared, treating Little Fatty like a treasured customer. Even if he ordered tens of dishes today, no one would question him for sure.
Seeing how Little Fatty did not say anything further, fellow Daoist Han also did not dare ask further. After a short moment, a large variety of dishes was served. The best thing about a cultivator was that it was convenient. If they were to use an ordinary fire to cook, this many dishes would definitely take quite some time. But, all the chefs used their Natal fire to cook, accompanied by the use of magical tools as their pans. Thus, their cooking speed was extremely fast, preparing 10 dishes in just a short moment.
After all the dishes and wine was served, the waiter immediately left and gave them privacy to talk.
