Chapter 1771: Venerate Platform

Long Chen had just started pulling Qingqing away when that person angrily blocked his path .

“You clearly said that you knew Long Chen just now!”

“Wait a moment, my memory’s not so good . When did I say I know Long Chen? Let’s think back to what we said before,” said Long Chen innocently .

“What’s wrong with your head? The first thing I asked you was if you knew Long Chen, and you said you did!”

“Oh, that? I said that I knew of him . I mean, how many people here don’t know of Long Chen? However, knowing of him doesn’t mean that I know him,” said Long Chen .

“You…!” That person almost coughed up blood .

“Hey, are you going back on our deal? Were the legends false? After getting money for answering questions, you actually have to give the money back? Fine, since you can’t bear to part with this little money, I’ll give it back to you . Although I’m poor, I still have some pride, unlike… Well, I won’t say it . Here, take it . ” Long Chen held out a spatial ring .

That person’s face alternated between white and green . He then looked at that spatial ring and furiously said, “The men of the Central Xuan Region are all n.o.ble . We never demand others to give back what we have given them . Go and spend it . Treat it as my charity to a beggar from another region . ”

That man snorted and left . Others shook their heads as they also scattered .

“Hehe, your Central Xuan Region’s people really have money . Come, let me treat you to a meal . ” Long Chen laughed and pulled Qingqing into an ancient restaurant .

Once they were inside the restaurant, Long Chen was very generous, ordering a little bit of everything . He directly spent twenty thousand spirit stones just on food .

In the end, a giant table had a small mountain of food piled on top of it, each dish being incomparably expensive .

Some meats were even from twelfth rank Magical Beasts, while some stir-fries included famous precious medicines . The smell alone was enough to make one salivate .

As soon as the food came, Long Chen started taking big bites, chomping down on some twelfth rank golden ox muscle . It was unknown what cooking method they had used to make it practically melt in his mouth . The essence within it was fully retained, making it both delicious and nouris.h.i.+ng . It was no wonder it was so expensive .

“Qingqing, eat while it’s hot!” Only after several large bites did Long Chen notice that Qingqing was staring blankly at the mountain of food in front of her . It seemed she had forgotten how to use her chopsticks .

“Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, can we really eat so luxuriously? I’m not used to this . ”

“The money was given by someone else as a treat . It’s not like we’re spending our own money, so don’t be uneasy . Hurry and eat . To tell the truth, even if we didn’t run into that unlucky fool, I’d have treated you anyway because I’m impressed by your knowledge . I’ve got plenty of money since people are always sending money my way . I can’t even stop them”

“Wow, you’re so good at forming relations.h.i.+ps with other people! There are that many people sending you money?” exclaimed Qingqing .

Long Chen was speechless . It seemed this child was too innocent to understand what he meant . The people sending him money weren’t doing it because of their friends.h.i.+p with him .

After a bit of talking and joking with Long Chen, Qingqing finally began to use her chopsticks . Her eyes were s.h.i.+ning, as these delicacies were not things that she could usually enjoy .

“There’s a reason why this food is so expensive . Eat it . Here, this is good stuff . You can eat it . ” Long Chen pushed a plate to Qingqing .

This plate had a dozen translucent objects . They appeared crystalline but immediately melted in a person’s mouth . Qingqing tried it and was unable to tell what it was .

“Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, what is this? It’s delicious and contains so much essence!” Qingqing was amazed by this dish, but she quickly found that Long Chen’s expression was a bit odd .

What Qingqing didn’t know was that what she had just eaten was a very hearty bull… whip . It was the life rod of the twelfth rank Magical Beast known as the Golden Heavenly Unicorn Bull . Naturally, it was full of… essence . However, it wasn’t as if Long Chen could just tell her the truth .

“Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, what is it? Is this thing very strange?” asked Qingqing innocently .

“Ah, about that… there’s nothing strange about it . It’s an organ that animals have,” said Long Chen vaguely .

“An organ that animals have? Then do humans have it?” probed Qingqing .

“Ah, well, how do I put this… Some people have it, some people… don’t . ” Long Chen wanted to do a facepalm . This was difficult to explain, especially to a naive and innocent girl .

“How curious . Then do I have it?”

“Right now you don’t have it, but you might have one in the future . ” Long Chen continued to be vague .
