Chapter 750
It can be seen that Sylph has truly put in the effort; at the very least, she has tried very hard.
She didn't even mention that when she went to get breakfast this morning, she was scolded by the kitchen servants.
Li Chen glanced at the so-called "breakfast" and frowned imperceptibly: "Is this all you and your mother usually eat?"
Sylph nodded silently, a trace of grievance and helplessness flashing in her amethyst-like eyes.
"Let's go," Li Chen said indifferently, "I'll take you outside to eat something good."
Upon hearing this, Sylph was first delighted, then immediately became worried: "My lord, it is daytime now, and there are many eyes and ears outside. If we go out like this, will it expose your whereabouts? What if we are spotted by people from the family or..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Li Chen smiled slightly, his expression carrying absolute confidence and detachment.
He reached out and grabbed Sylph's wrist. The next moment, Sylph only felt a blur before her eyes; the surrounding scenery retreated rapidly like flowing light, and the sound of whistling wind filled her ears.
When she steadied her mind and looked closely, she was astonished to find that she was already standing outside the Wind-Whisperer family castle, in the middle of the bustling streets of Silver Glow City!
"We're out already?" Sylph covered her small mouth, her eyes filled with disbelief.
As expected of a Sage Realm powerhouse, such a method of coming and going as one pleases is simply like a miracle!
Li Chen was just unfamiliar with the terrain yesterday, but after walking around last night, he had a general understanding of it, so coming out now was certainly simple.
And Li Chen was not someone short of money; he took Sylph directly to the highest-rated and most luxurious restaurant in Silver Glow City, "The Glazed Dome."
Those who could afford to dine here were either wealthy or noble. When the waiter in a crisp uniform at the entrance saw the Bishop's robe Li Chen was wearing—which, while not flashy, bore the clear mark of the Holy See—his attitude immediately became incomparably respectful. He bowed and welcomed them inside, not even daring to ask a single extra question.
However, when the waiter's gaze swept over Sylph beside Li Chen, a trace of surprise and imperceptible disdain could not help but flash in his eyes.
Although this young girl was stunningly beautiful and ethereal in temperament, she was wearing cheap, coarse cloth clothes that had been washed until they were faded, which was completely out of place in this magnificent environment.
Sylph's beauty soon attracted the attention of many powerful figures in the restaurant.
Those gazes were filled with amazement, greed, and a certain desire to possess her and keep her in captivity.
However, when their eyes fell upon Li Chen beside her—who possessed a profound aura and was dressed in Holy See attire—all thoughts of covetousness were instantly suppressed.
Even in Silver Glow City, where faith is relatively weak and various races are mixed, no one dared to easily provoke someone from the Holy See in public.
Because, in order to maintain its supreme authority, the Holy See often labels those who dare to provoke it as "heretics" and then uses thunderous means to completely eradicate them.
In the Eternal Day Empire, being labeled a heretic is almost equivalent to a death sentence.
Offending the entire Holy See for the sake of a woman? That is a very stupid thing to do.
Li Chen ignored those various gazes and sat straight down at a window-side booth, picked up the gold-rimmed menu, and ordered all the most expensive and exquisite signature dishes on it.
Sylph sat opposite him, appearing somewhat at a loss.
It wasn't that she didn't want to order, but she didn't dare to at all; she hadn't even heard of the names of the dishes above, and the prices made her feel dizzy.
