56 Eating at the dining hall again~ (1/2)
Somewhere on top of the moonlight mountain. Long after Sofie, Yue Wan and Yang Meng had left through the portals formed by the three giant doors, a crystal spider filled with bloody wounds suddenly appeared looking a little lost.
I can clearly smell that the thief is here, but the sent disappears the moment I reach those three stone doors… Stone door…? T-this is no stone door!
Realizing what was in front of it, the crystal spider happily ignored the ghastly wounds it got in its escape from the giant tentacle monster earlier, jumping directly onto the closest door.
Starting to eat the stones that made up the giant door, the crystal spider felt the bottleneck blocking it from becoming a rank 3 demon beast slowly loosening.
HAHA, just you wait, you damned human thief! When I find you, I'll definitely eat you!
Laughing to itself, the crystal spider started biting more and more of the giant door off. Happily feeling its cultivation progressing further and further. Coming closer and closer to rank 3.
…
At the same time, Yang Meng was on his way towards the dining hall suddenly felt himself stop and shiver all of a sudden.
”Is anything wrong?”
Sofie, who had met Yang Meng on her way to the dining hall together with Xiao Yao, asked in a confused voice. Tilting her head slightly, while looking at him.
”Ah, it's nothing… I think a cold breeze just passed through.”
Shaking his head, Yang Meng answered in a confused voice as well. Not knowing why, he would suddenly start shivering all of a sudden.
”Okay then… Stop wasting time and hurry! We need to get to the dining hall FASTER!”
Finding out nothing was wrong with him, Sofie quickly urged him to hurry up.
”Calm down Sofie… Nobody is going to snatch your food, the sect has more than enough…”
Speechlessly looking down at the desperate face of her little junior sister, Xiao Yao really had no idea why Sofie was hurrying them so much…
…
Entering the busy dining hall, Sofie quickly found a table with over a dozen empty seats, Yang Meng also followed close behind and sat obediently on the chair beside Sofie as both of them waited for a waiter or waitress to come and take their order.
Xiao Yao followed both of them and sat on a chair opposite of Yang Meng.
The only thing making Yang Meng and Sofie sit down and wait, was that there were no tables filled with food, which you could go up to and fill your plate. Instead you had to wait for a waiter or waitress to come and say what you want to eat to them.
This was pure agony for the two foodies, as they could only stare hungrily at the food their fellow disciples were eating happily, but not get something themselves.
”Hello, what would you like to order?”
Like an angel descending from heaven, a pure and clear voice broke Sofie and Yang Meng out of their depressed mood, as both of them looked towards the waitress standing a little behind Xiao Yao with a pad of paper used for writing down orders and a gentle smile on her lips.
”This, this, this and this!”
Sofie excitedly said as she pointed at four different dinner menus, each having a small dish first, followed up by a main dish and then finally a dessert. Causing the poor waitress to be dumbstruck, as she didn't seem to comprehend whether what she heard just now was a joke or not.
”Ah, Can I get the same as her?”
Yang Meng did not seem to have seen the confused eyes of the waitress and asked for the same dinner menus as Sofie. From what Yang Meng learnt over the few days he knew Sofie, she most definitely chose the best food.
”… A-anything else?”
The waitress looked a little wary, as she turned to look at the last remeaing member at the table, Xiao Yao.
”Can I get a fire bat salad?”
”…S-sure… What else?”
