CHAPTER 1420: CHAPTER 1421: RESTAURANT

"Isn’t this a couple’s restaurant?"

After touring the Meteorite Museum and getting that special souvenir, Feng Yuan and his group followed Xiao Ji to dinner. But upon seeing the place Xiao Ji brought them to, Feng Yuan said speechlessly, as Long Boduo, the young man standing next to him, glanced around at the people in confusion and said,

"Why do I feel that the way they’re looking at us is a bit off?"

"Of course..."

Covering his face, although he knew Xiao Ji and Big Cat hadn’t done it on purpose, he really didn’t plan on going in. Who knows what odd rumors would come up if he brought Long Boduo into this kind of place.

"Forget it, let’s go quickly, we’ll find another place. Hmm, where to go?"

Hugging Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan said as he walked out of that couple’s restaurant. Xiao Ji’s tail feathers fluttered, seeming to sense something was wrong. Did it make a mistake? Breaking free from Feng Yuan’s arms, Xiao Ji chirped at Big Cat as if consulting its opinion. Just when Feng Yuan was about to lead Xiao Ji and the others away from the restaurant, he heard Yang Hongzhi greeting him,

"Feng Yuan? What are you doing here?"

Glancing at the couple’s restaurant, Yang Hongzhi was stunned. This guy would really go anywhere for food? Rubbing Xiao Ji’s head vigorously, Feng Yuan laughed and said,

"Xiao Ji and the others didn’t know it was a couple’s restaurant and brought me here. It’s really, no way around it."

"Them? Really, then where do you plan to eat now? If you have no destination, how about joining us?"

"Hmm, I’ll ask them."

Feng Yuan scratched his head and looked at Xiao Ji and Big Cat. Big Cat was whining and saying something to Xiao Ji. Seeing that Xiao Ji seemed unhappy, Big Cat kept trying to comfort it. After a while, Xiao Ji came to Feng Yuan and chirped a few times, translated by Agunas,

"It says it can’t find a suitable restaurant in a short time, so let’s go with him."

"Then let’s go."

Feng Yuan said, patting Xiao Ji, who looked at him puzzled. Seeing Xiao Ji’s confusion, Feng Yuan chuckled, directly picking up Xiao Ji in its eagle form. Xiao Ji then turned around and transformed into its Eggshell Chicken form, hiding in his embrace.

Holding Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan looked at Yang Hongzhi and said,

"Let’s go. It wouldn’t be another couple’s restaurant, would it?"

"How could it be!"

Yang Hongzhi said, taking a few steps back in horror at Feng Yuan’s joke. Najia glanced at Feng Yuan and said irritably,

"Watch your jokes. If someone really misunderstands, it’ll be trouble."

"Hehe～"

"Feng Yuan, what are you doing here too?"

Qi Chen saw Feng Yuan and Yang Hongzhi looking curiously at the restaurant’s sign and the prominent notice. Dou Yanlan smiled slightly and said,

"Maybe he wants to try the delicacies here?"

"Hehe～Well, I just thought I could sneak in. Who knew they’d be so strict."

Feng Yuan said with a bright smile. Xiao Ji, curled up in his arms, shifted slightly with an embarrassed look. Even though Feng Yuan just followed it here, yet...

Agunas swished its tail and said,

"If Long Boduo in human form weren’t with you, it wouldn’t be such a big problem. But alas..."

"I’ll ask for you. Surely, they’d show some respect for a Divine Beast."

Dou Yanlan smiled slightly at Agunas and said. Although she guessed Agunas wouldn’t refuse, Agunas nodded and said,

"I’ll go in with you."

"Me too!"

Long Boduo said, directly reverting to its original form. Perhaps due to the treatment it enjoyed at a subsidiary restaurant of the Meteorite Museum last time, it eagerly rushed inside. After a while, it came out, snorting triumphantly, and said,

"Done～They agreed～"

Having said that, Long Boduo transformed back into human form. The waiter behind was startled by the scene. Xiao Ji turned its back to rub against Feng Yuan, chirping softly with grievances. Gently patting Xiao Ji, Feng Yuan said helplessly,

"All right, you’ll be tougher than it in the future. Can you stop poking me with your beak?"

Raising its head to look at Feng Yuan, Xiao Ji chirped discontentedly. Feng Yuan played with Xiao Ji’s tuft of feathers, chuckling and comforting it softly.

Thanks to Long Boduo’s intervention, Feng Yuan and the others received special treatment services, with a private room and enthusiastic waiters. It made Qi Chen feel uneasy. Looking at Long Boduo happily eating dessert, Qi Chen whispered to Feng Yuan,

"Is this really okay?"

"Hmm, it should be fine. After all, they voluntarily offered special services, and we didn’t force them. Besides Long Boduo and Agunas leaving with them for a photo, there’s no other issue, right?"

Feng Yuan didn’t think much of it. For the restaurant, attracting Divine Beasts dining there is already a noteworthy promotion. As for whether it’s worth providing special services? That’s up to the business. Anyway, Feng Yuan was sure that neither Long Boduo nor Agunas forced them into it.

Xiao Ji transformed back into its eagle form, pecking at the desserts on the table. Yang Hongzhi looked at Xiao Hei, lying on the ground eating, as well as Xiao Hui, whom Agunas had to expand space to release, and said in puzzlement,

"Why does this restaurant only accept couple customers? These foods actually taste great."

"Simple. Couples’ money is easier to earn. Just look at the prices, and you’ll get it? That scary price doesn’t match its taste at all."

Feng Yuan laughed as he spoke. Although he acknowledged there’s this problem, he didn’t mind. For him, that little money wasn’t a hassle. Not to mention he had ways to make money quickly, and if worst came to worst, he could swallow his pride and borrow from Lorraine Tower and others, right?

"This price..."

Now Yang Hongzhi and the rest noticed the terrifying prices. Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan, somewhat grateful for running into him. After all, such exorbitant prices, he couldn’t afford them. It’s not that using Feng Yuan’s money had become a habit, but rather... he didn’t bring that much money. He merely heard that there’s a great couple’s restaurant here, known for not just good flavor but also a remarkable atmosphere, and then rashly brought Dou Yanlan over. Who would’ve thought...

"Indeed, super profitable. No wonder there’s such a policy, but with such noticeable pricing, there’s no fear of misunderstanding."

Agunas looked at the menu with its conspicuous prices, larger than the dish names, and said if this were really a swindling place, perhaps Agunas might act secretly. After all, taking a photo is one thing, but if a shady establishment uses their name to lure customers, it would feel quite uncomfortable.

"This... later I’ll..."

"Hmm, are you planning to pay for it yourself? That’s actually fine, the owner offered a cost price, giving us a 90% discount. I’ll mention it to the waiter later, and I’ll take care of Long Boduo and the others myself."

Seeing Yang Hongzhi planning to say something, Feng Yuan said nonchalantly. Always paying themselves isn’t necessarily a good thing. He didn’t want the few good friendships he had to end because of these little things. Plus, the actual cost price wasn’t much to pay.

"Only 10?!"

Qi Chen was stunned. This restaurant, was actually so profitable? Long Boduo looked up at Qi Chen and smiled proudly,

"That’s right, they agreed to it. I didn’t expect the cost price to be that cheap."

"It’s very normal. The policy keeps many customers away, and it wouldn’t earn them back without marking up the prices. Although they didn’t really factor in the environment cost."

Feng Yuan didn’t mind this, after all, they weren’t the ones to bring it up actively. Since the owner willingly offered it, there’s naturally no issue. Dou Yanlan glanced around at the surroundings, despite being extensively expanded using Agunas’s power, it still evoked a cozy romantic atmosphere.

This environment might indeed be worth the price, but clearly, the restaurant wouldn’t include this in their so-called cost price, after all, it’s hard to quantify, isn’t it?

"What a pity it’s a group dining, with too many light bulbs, otherwise..."

Naughtily glancing at Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan, Feng Yuan said. Twirling a strand of her hair, Dou Yanlan chuckled softly and said,

"We don’t mind that. But do you have enough dog snacks left?"

"Woof!"

"Not enough, but I can turn into a Little Husky!"
