Woaaah..
When they entered the restaurant, the decoration inside this large dining hall had them mesmerized thoroughly!
Golden silk was carefully hanged from the center of the ceiling to the walls, and bright golden candles was being lit on every beams and corner of the room, creating a very majestic atmosphere!
Not only that, the tables, chairs and overall settings was in line with this royalty-like feeling, creating an environment similar to that of the dining hall inside the royal palace itself!
”Welcome dear guest!”
Rows of maids and servants greeted them with a bow and this had most of Duan Li's party turned awkward as they were not used to such a flamboyant and high-profile treatment.
Somewhere in the middle of the hall, an old man with his white hair combed sideways like a true gentleman and dressed in a neat white butler uniform had spotted Duan Li and his party at this particular moment.
'That woman..' he squinted his eyes, afraid that his old age had started to play tricks with him, before it turned wide in horror when he realized that he was not mistaken.
Gasp!
Taking out a communication jade slip, he clenched it tightly and whispered, ”Code red, the tyrant has returned!” with a quivering voice.
When the other veteran butler and servants around his age heard this, their face froze at almost the same time and their countenance paled. This had some of the guests that noticed this looked at them weirdly.
”What's wrong? You look pale so suddenly..” one of the guest asked, feeling concerned.
”Ah! Its nothing dear guest. Please, take a look at the menu first and then we will come back to you again shortly..” the old man with the white butler uniform said.
He then walked hurriedly towards Duan Li, or specifically towards Meng Yue.
”Lady Meng Yue, it has been a while! It seems that you've brought others this time?” the old man said with a polite gesture.
”Oh? Heng Wu, you're still working here? And indeed, it has been a while! This young man here is my son, and the rest are his followers. I've come here this time specifically because I remembered your food is the best there is in the whole Jiu Empire!” Meng Yue said as she introduced them with a happy tone.
She then continued, ”I trust that the Seven Saints Culinary still holds this same reputation that it once has?” she said with a teasing tone.
Hearing this, the old man called Heng Wu replied proudly, ”Of course! Our reputation as the best high-end restaurant had only increased all these while and never plummeted! Come, let me guide you to the third floor.”
When the other guests that happened to be near them heard this, their eyes bulged out in astonishment.
”T-The third floor? Isn't that the place where only super VIP could enter?!”
”That's right! Only VVIPs or those big figures in the whole Jiu Empire could eat on the third floor! Who exactly are they?”
In reality, the only reason why Duan Li and his party got to eat on the third floor was entirely due to the presence of Meng Yue.
One has to know that all the guests of Seven Saints Culinary, no matter how profound their background were, has to obtain cumulative eating points before their status could be upgraded from casual eaters to VIP, and then finally elevated to the VVIP level, each differences were like that of Heaven and Earth!
However, Meng Yue had only come to eat here occasionally because the price was extremely astronomical, even the cheapest dish would cost at least 10 medium quality spirit stones to eat!
Therefore, logically speaking, she should not have enough eating points to eat on the third level!
When they arrived on the third level, they were dumbstrucked once more. This was because the third level was actually the topmost floor with a big open window, facing towards the most beautiful scenery that the capital has to offer!
Not only that, each floor was not only a symbol of status that guests has, but also the dishes itself has magical properties that would give numerous benefits to one's cultivation!
But when they looked at the pricing list, everyone turned their eyes wide as their teeths clattered together.
”T-This whole restaurant is a big scam! A fraud!” Shen Murong lashed out.
”Yeah! What is with this pricing tag? 50 medium quality spirit stones for a bowl of rice?!” Shen Lu also got angry as he cherished the contents inside his pocket a lot.
Heng Wu only chuckled slightly upon hearing their complaints, ”Dear valued guests, that bowl of rice is called the 'Dragon-seeking rice'. It's origin is from the far West, located inside one of the twelve danger zones of the Tian continent!” he replied.
Hearing this, Wang Xiolun whom was also frowning in disagreement upon looking at the disgusting price before turned his head towards the old butler in surprise.
