Chapter 130: A Feast
Shadow Xuan limped slowly into the city, and many ordinary humans or spiritual cultivators began to set up all kinds of stalls to buy and sell on both sides of the long and wide streets of Lanyue City, and it was completely expected that an extremely lively and extraordinary picture would appear here when night came.
This kind of scene may only occasionally appear in the entire Spiritual Desolation Region, and only in places like Lanyue City, which provide shelter for most ordinary humans and human spiritual cultivators.
Smelling the inexplicable strong aroma that had begun to spread from the meat of some low-level beast trolls that had begun to charcoal roast some low-level beast trolls in the stalls next to him, Ying Xuan, who was limping forward, couldn't help but stop a little under the influence of this strange fragrance.
After a brief pause to watch, he realized that he still didn't have a piece of spirit jade coin in his pocket at this time, so he had to give up and continue to limp slowly towards the Laixi Tavern not far from the end of the long street.
After that, he can submit the bounty task he accepted and completed today, and then officially receive the bounty for this mission.
500 spirit jade coins, well... You should be able to buy a lot of delicious food, right?
Ying Xuan, who was already hungry, didn't even deliberately think that his current extremely strange physique would actually have a feeling of hunger in his stomach like ordinary humans.
Maybe it's because of the two worlds, along the way, Ying Xuan has experienced too many bizarre events that can't be expressed in words, and he has long been extremely indifferent to this.
Dragging his body bursting from wounds, as well as his unprecedented hunger, Ying Xuan's already limping and staggering figure suddenly became even weaker.
For some reason, there has been no sign of recovery from the injury this time, and the wound has always been like that, constantly exuding bursts of intense pain like a piercing heart.
The serious injury at the mouth of his heart, even if it hurt faintly with every step he took, Ying Xuan felt that he could completely bear it, but his stomach was overly hungry, and he really couldn't stand it for a moment.
At this moment, he really missed inexplicably when he was in the night house of Canglan City, the girl Yechenxi kept cooking delicious meals for him, and he never seemed to know what hunger was at that time.
I don't know what happened to the Yechen Xi people in the world over there, after all, according to the time, many days have passed since Ying Xuan woke up in the underground palace of the Refining Sacrifice Mountain.
"Eventually... It's finally ......"
Ying Xuan looked at the familiar sign erected next to the door of the tall building in front of him, his eyes seemed extremely unstable for a while, and his body was completely crumbling, and finally he endured all kinds of strong discomfort that kept emerging all over his body, and dragged his rickety body into the Laixi Tavern.
After all, I have already walked to the gate, and I have survived all the way to such a long distance, and if I really faint at the gate of the tavern because of hunger now, it will be too embarrassing!
"Huh?"
In the Laixi Tavern, Mengxi, a girl in white who was sitting at the table in the wine cabinet, was originally bored with a bored face, holding her cheeks with one hand, and constantly shaking the half glass of pale red wine in the crystal clear goblet she was holding with the other hand, but she suddenly caught a glimpse of Ying Xuan limping in slowly from outside the door.
Mengxi, who was bored with a boring face, caught a glimpse of Ying Xuan's figure and couldn't help but slowly put down the half-sipped wine in her hand, and immediately became interested, but before she could react from her surprise, Ying Xuan, who was originally limping and walking extremely difficult, had already walked in front of her.
"Hee-hee~ I didn't expect you to come back alive. β
Mengxi looked at the extreme weakness on the face of Ying Xuan, who was still frosty in front of him, and the wounds on his chest and clothes, and he didn't know whether to gloat or sympathize with his appearance at this time, and said in a playful tone.
"Gollum - Gollum!"
"Whew-"
Ying Xuan didn't pay any attention to the inexplicable look and words of Mengxi, the girl in the white dress in front of her, who didn't know whether it was banter or sympathy, but directly picked up the goblet in front of Mengxi's table, which she had just put down, and drank most of the pale red wine left in it.
"Gollum - why is it so light?"
"This is a tavern, you should have something to eat, right?"
"Bring me some, I'm starving..."
Ying Xuan put the empty goblet on the table, his face was calm but full of infinite longing, and he stared closely at Mengxi, who was already full of sluggishness in front of him, and reminded.
"You ......"
"Who, who made you drink?"
Mengxi, who came back to his senses for a while, couldn't help but point angrily at Ying Xuan, who was still looking at him calmly in front of him, and scolded him in a coquettish voice.
With her scolding, and her pretty cheeks couldn't help but inexplicably flush with an imperceptible flush.
"Uh... What's wrong?"
"Isn't it just half a glass of tasteless water... As for it?"
"I'll pay later... Please... Bring me something to eat. β
Ying Xuan couldn't bear the intense hunger that continued to hit his empty stomach, he never thought that hunger could really be so terrible, especially this unprecedented hunger that kept coming in waves, so strong that it was perverted.
I didn't expect that Ying Xuan, who had been cold and revealing people not long ago, would show such a weird and extreme pleading appearance in an instant at this time.
Mengxi, who reacted, looked at the extremely strange expression on the miserable white and handsome face of the young man in front of him at this moment, and seemed to have forgotten what had just happened for a while, and couldn't help but chuckle inexplicably.
"Hmph! β
Snorted coldly, Mengxi turned around and entered the back room, and after a while, he walked out of it, but he was holding a large disc in his hand.
Ying Xuan was already hungry and weak, and his mind was dizzy, and when Mengxi came out, he was already staggering and almost fell out of his chair.
"Aren't you hungry?"
"Eat it!"
Putting the large disc in his hand on the table, Mengxi quickly lifted the lid and pushed it in front of Ying Xuan, staring at him with an inexplicable smile on his face.
After seeing the plate of various barbecue meats placed in front of him, which can be called luxurious to the extreme, his eyes immediately lit up, and his hands quickly grabbed the knives and forks placed on both sides, and raised his hands to prepare to eat.
Ying Xuan, who had just raised the knife and fork in his hand and was about to do something to the various kinds of meat in the disc in front of him, suddenly seemed to think of something, slowly raised his eyes, and looked at Mengxi, the girl in the white dress who was holding his chin in front of him with an inexplicable smile on his face.
"Uh... Although I just drank a glass of tasteless water from you without your consent, ......"
"In this food... You shouldn't have been poisoned, right?"
Ying Xuan's miserable face forcibly carried an extremely strange look of doubt, looking at the girl Mengxi in front of him, he showed some palpitations, after all, the look of the girl in front of him at this time gave Ying Xuan a very subtle feeling, which made him a little bottomless for a while.
"Huh. β
"Miss Ben really wants to kill you, it's as easy as a finger, what kind of poison do you need?"
"If you don't eat... I'll just throw it out and feed the dogs."
For a while, Mengxi, a girl in a white dress who had already regained her calm, saw that Ying Xuan mentioned the matter of drinking the remaining wine in her wine glass not long ago, and a faint flush quickly appeared on her little face, and she said in a coquettish voice full of shame.
As he spoke, he picked up the plate on the table, and was about to walk out.
"Uh... I'll eat!"
Ying Xuan was already about to collapse from hunger, and he could ignore the severe pain in his heart, but at this time, the feeling of hunger was extremely strong, and he swore that if he didn't eat anything again, he would really have to say goodbye to this world.
And this scent... Who can resist it?
Ying Xuan didn't care if there was anything in the food, the knife and fork he held in his hands cut quickly like a sword, and then quickly sent it to his mouth, and after a while, he actually ate a whole plate full of various barbecued meats.
That look of eating can be said to be extremely terrifying!
This plate of barbecue, which didn't seem to be too much, I don't know what kind of animal meat it was, quickly felt unprecedented satisfaction after he finished eating it.
Not only did he completely fill his originally hungry empty stomach, but it even made Ying Xuan feel that his body, which was originally extremely tired and weak, had gradually regained a lot of strength.
"Hmm... The D-class reconnaissance mission I received has now been completed, and the reward for the mission is 500 spirit jade coins. β
"After deducting the 10 spirit jade coins you paid for me before, the rest should be able to take out some to pay for this meal. β
Ying Xuan looked at the girl in the white dress who was still looking at her inexplicably in front of her, and returned to her previous indifferent expression, and said slowly.
"Pay for this meal with your quest pay?"
"Hmm... I'll have to let Miss Ben settle the math with youβ"
"The D-level bounty task reward you received is a total of 500 spirit jade coins, minus the 10 spirit jade coins I paid for you before, and there are 490 spirit jade coins left. β
"And the meal you just ate was made by Miss Ben herself, since it was made by Miss Ben, how can it be worth less than 100,000 spirit jade coins, right?"
"So 100,000 minus 490..."
"Well, that means you still owe me 99,510 spirit jade coins. β
The girl in the white dress wrenched her fingers, the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised a trace of extremely playful and inexplicable arc, and her eyes were firmly fixed on the shadow in front of her.
"You... Say what?"
After listening to the rigorous analysis of Mengxi, the girl in the white dress in front of her, Ying Xuan's eyes were slightly condensed, obviously stunned, and it took a long time to react, but her face was at a loss.
"I don't need to repeat it again, do I?"
"You owe Miss Ben money for the mealβa total of 90,000, 9,000, and 510 spirit jade coins. β
The girl in the white dress supported the table in front of her with one hand, pointed to the shadow in front of her with the other, and said in a playful voice as she slowly approached it.
"Even if it's your own hands...... It can't be that expensive, right?"
Ying Xuan was speechless for a while, was he inexplicably blackmailed after eating a meal?
"I don't care anyway~"
"To tell you the truth, even if the food cooked by Miss Ben is sold for 1 million spirit jade coins per plate, there are countless people in Lanyue City who want to buy it!"
"Now it's just counting you 100,000 spirit jade coins, which is already a big bargain for you!"
"Or... Aren't you ready to pay?"
Staring closely at Ying Xuan's face, the corners of the girl in the white dress couldn't help but tilt a wicked smile slightly, as if she was looking forward to Ying Xuan's answer.
"Well, I... Confessed. β
"But I don't have that much money to pay for food right now. β
Seeing that this was the case, Ying Xuan looked helpless and looked at the girl in the white dress with a wicked smile on his face, and spread his hands, saying that he had no money now.
"It's okay, you're going to come here often to take on tasks in the future, right?"
"You just have to pay it back slowly, anyway, Miss Ben doesn't care about the money you owe~"
Listening to the indifferent voice of the girl in the white dress, Ying Xuan only felt that the wound in his heart that was about to condense suddenly burst out again at this moment.
What do you mean?
You don't care about this money, and you still cheat me?
Ying Xuan instantly felt that he still knew too little about this extremely dark world.
