Chapter 320: Daylight Robbery (2/2)

”I will come by tomorrow with the ingredients for the pills,” Tao Wu said after a bit of chatting and Xue Wei quickly agreed.

After Tao Wu exited, Xue Wei grinned. He had gained a lot this way. ”Let us go out and eat,” he said after considering what to do now.

”Food on this island is costly, but we do not lack in essence stones anymore, so let us go splurge a bit.” Xue Wei grinned as he gestured for the others to follow him.

There was nothing he wanted in the auction, so he still had plenty of stones on his person, and he knew that the Thousand Treasure Pavilion soon would send a large number of essence stones his way.

Luoluo was a real foodie. She did not need to hear such an invitation more than once before she smilingly went up to Xue Wei's side and merrily started to jump around in excitement.

Bai Tianyi, Hei Gou, and Lin Xiao were more casual about it. They smiled wryly when they saw Luoluo's excited expression and instantly knew that Xue Wei had offered them a meal because he knew that Luoluo would like it. He truly pampered Luoluo to an extreme level.

As they exited the Thousand Treasure Pavilion's residential area, Xue Wei instantly sensed that a group of experts started trailing them. None of them had any malice in their actions, so he did not mind, and instead, he smiled gently at Luoluo.

”What do you feel like eating?” He asked warmly, and Luoluo paused for some time, unsure of what she felt like having.

”Crystal shrimp dumplings!” she said after considering for some time. ”It is a classic, and I love it!” she exclaimed happily, clapping her small hands already thinking about eating her favorite food.

”You want to eat shrimp?” Bai Tianyi could not help but ask with disdain, and Luoluo looked at him with annoyance. The girl and the boy were clashing all the time. Not only because both of them were children, but also because one was an artificial spirit while the other was genuine. They were bound to dislike one another.

”What is wrong with wanting shrimp?” Luoluo asked, lifting her nose high into the air as if she was looking down on him.

”We had so much seafood when sailing, and now we are having even more seafood? Don't you think you'll turn into a clam if you only eat seafood?” Bai Tianyi could not help but mock her, but Luoluo just snorted.

”I like seafood. What can you do about it? bite me!” She was more arrogant and had grown much more when compared to her younger version, she was a lot more rebellious now, at least when she was faced with Bai Tianyi.

”Okay, no fighting,” Xue Wei quickly parted the two of them before they had the time to argue further, ”We will order a mixture of everything.”

Bai Tianyi wanted to say that he had not complained because he wanted to eat different food, but after considering the situation, he kept quiet and sent an annoyed glance at Luoluo.

Together the group managed to make it into the bustling center of the Treasure City. Here everyone was alert. Although Xue Wei was not a well-known figure, not many knew what he looked like. If they accidentally insulted a Saint ranked expert, their lives would be forfeited.

Along the way, most of the people who had followed them stayed on their trail. A few vanished to inform their masters of the appearance of Xue Wei, but most wanted to see his destination before they returned to report.

Xue Wei and the others walked past a market where they curiously looked at the items that were up for sale, but nothing sparked their interest, and soon they had walked through the market, making it to an upper-class square of the city where the most exquisite restaurants were located.

Looking at the restaurants, Xue Wei was suddenly at a loss. Three were located right next to one another, one as exquisite as the other, but how to pick?

”We'll take this one,” Luoluo said as she pointed at the one that was placed at the south-eastern corner of the square.

Xue Wei shrugged his shoulders, indicating that it was okay with him, but Lin Xiao was curious, ”Why that one?” he asked.

”It has a picture of a cute kitty,” she said, ”I like cute kitties, so let's pick it!”

Looking at the restaurant, they saw that the logo was a ferocious and massive black lion. It looked terrifying and threatening, but in Luoluo's eyes, it had become a cute kitten.

None of them said anything but Bai Tianyi's lips twitched slightly. Damn brat! He thought. She was the kitty; her whole family was kitties. Could she not see how ferocious that beast was?

Still, he said nothing as all of them went to the restaurant.

As they arrived, a servant looked at the group of them and frowned. ”To dine here you need to provide us with a deposit of hundred thousand low-grade essence stones per person,” he said.

Xue Wei frowned when hearing this. He had seen other experts enter the restaurant before them, but none of them had taken any kind of deposit out of their storage treasures before.

”Are you sure?” he asked, his voice slightly low and emotionless.

”Of course!” the servant was sure that they could not afford the food at the restaurant, and although it was costly to eat here, it would at most amass to a thousand low-grade essence stones a person, never the hundred thousand that he had requested. He was simply robbing people.
