Chapter 261: Anlan's Tears

~8 min read 1,489 words

After the monster tide, in the old district of X City, a certain dilapidated little restaurant.

As the host, Yan Shuangying personally entertained Xuanzang, Anlan, Morgana, and their group.

"This place is way too run-down."

Morgana looked at the surrounding environment; the entire restaurant was less than a hundred square meters, the equipment was quite old, and there was almost no one there.

One must know, the places Morgana visited in her own world were all top-tier restaurants.

"X City just experienced a monster tide, and most of the luxury restaurants were destroyed, so we can't go to those.

This 'Xu Ji Restaurant' might be small, but the taste is actually quite good," Yan Shuangying said.

Xu Ji Restaurant held a very special significance for Yan Shuangying.

Back then, not long after she had transmigrated, she entered this restaurant by chance; come to think of it, it was in this restaurant that she awakened her Chat Group cheat.

Especially the owner, Xu, who gave her a mysterious feeling, like a master living in seclusion among the common folk.

"I think I've been to this restaurant before; the taste is indeed very unique," Luo Feng said.

"Is that so? Then this is interesting," Wang Wu said.

"Stop talking, when are we eating?" Xiao Shi was a bit impatient.

"Glutton," Ye Fan couldn't help but say.

Feng Baobao was lying lazily like a salted fish, sucking on Happy Water, with an expression that said "don't touch me."

Before long, the restaurant waiter served the dishes, a table full of authentic old-era cuisine, which was a sight for sore eyes.

One must know that in the post-Transformation high-martial era, the main ingredients were the Flesh of Monsters.

Although Monsters are ferocious, their nutritional value is very high, helping ordinary people develop their potential and become Martial Artists ahead of time.

A young man wearing a white shirt walked over, his face gentle, and said:

"Everyone, enjoy your meal."

This young man was the restaurant owner, "Xu," who looked extremely young and gave people a feeling of being very kind and approachable.

"Many thanks for the hospitality, Xu," Yan Shuangying said.

"Wow, Xu is truly young and handsome."

Wang Wu whistled, just like a dissolute young master hitting on a respectable girl.

"Heh."

Xu just smiled and turned to leave.

After he left, the silent Anlan couldn't help but say: "This person is not simple; I actually cannot see through him?"

Hearing this, Xuanzang became interested and said:

"Anlan, why can't you see through him?"

"It's very strange. It feels like he is a mortal, but if one senses carefully, one discovers the other party is truly an ordinary person, as ordinary as can be," Anlan said.

"Diliu, aren't you just stating the obvious?" Ye Fan said.

"Brother Ye, your realm is too low, your vision is too shallow, you don't understand," Anlan said.

"..." Ye Fan.

Indeed, no matter how Anlan looked at the other party, he was an ordinary person, but it was precisely this point that was worth wondering about.

One must know he is an Undying King, a titan at the Immortal King Realm.

How could this mundane person possibly be held in his eyes?

Everyone he pays attention to is either someone with Great Luck or a Son of the Epoch.

Just like Luo Feng and the brothers Teng Qingshan!

If "Xu" were an ordinary person, how could Anlan possibly pay attention, let alone think about it and take the initiative to probe?

How could an existence that can make an Immortal King take the initiative to probe be a mere mortal?

Xuanzang sensed slightly; the other party was indeed an ordinary person, with not a trace of cultivation to be found.

It was just that his sixth sense told him that things were not that simple.

Xuanzang did not continue to probe; after all, the other party had no conflict of interest with him, nor was there any hostility, and if he kept probing, it would be impolite.

"He is indeed not an ordinary person," Xuanzang said, effectively agreeing with Anlan's point of view.

"After the monster tide, all the luxury restaurants in the entire city were basically destroyed, but this little restaurant was preserved intact; it can be seen that this Xu is indeed not an ordinary person," Bai Yuekui said.

"Makes sense," Wang Wu nodded.

Yan Shuangying was silent; she was not stupid, but rather very smart, especially when it came to matters concerning herself.

The existence of Xu was something that even Anlan and Xuanzang Sheng Seng could not see through.

Then what kind of existence is he? One must know that Anlan is an Immortal King, and Xuanzang is an Immortal even stronger than an Immortal King!

Suddenly, a terrifying thought was born in her heart.

She triggered the Chat Group cheat in this restaurant?

Could it be that the mastermind behind the Chat Group is actually this Xu?

That shouldn't be, right?

Yan Shuangying was frightened by her own thoughts.

"What are you thinking about, Yingying? Eat," Xuanzang said, noticing Yan Shuangying was dazed, and reminded her.

At this time, everyone had begun to taste the specialties of this Xu Ji Restaurant.

It must be said that although the raw materials for this cuisine were simple, the taste was indeed very delicious; after eating, one felt relaxed and refreshed, as if placed in the middle of a vast, boundless grassland.

Even Xiao Shi, that glutton, became refined at this moment and stopped wolfing down his food.

"So... fragrant..."

Anlan, the Immortal King, actually shed a tear, his emotions extremely complex.

"An Lao Liu, why are you crying?" Ye Fan asked curiously.

"No way, Anlan, you look so fragile," Morgana said.

It is truly a rare sight to see an Undying King shedding tears because of a dish made by an ordinary person.

"Brother Ye, Xuan Ge, everyone, you do not understand. Ever since I became an Undying King, I have long since lost human emotions; I have always looked upon worldly things with disdain, casting them aside like worn-out shoes.

But this dish reminded me of the taste of my mother's cooking before I attained the Dao, the taste of home, and those friends who have already vanished for hundreds of thousands of years," Anlan explained slowly.

"So this dish awakened the conscience you had long ago discarded, An Lao Liu?" Ye Fan said abruptly.

"Hahaha!" Morgana clutched her stomach and laughed upon hearing this.

"..." Anlan.

To the side, Luo Feng and Teng Qingshan shivered, not daring to interject.

"Although I do not have the realizations of fellow Daoist Anlan, I do feel much more peaceful in my heart. The restlessness caused by my power increasing too quickly has subsided quite a bit," Ye Wen said.

Do not look at how powerful Ye Wen is now; without a strong heart and a will as steady as a rock, one cannot control this strength, and once bewitched by power, one loses their original intent.

Then one would not be Superman, but a free and unrestrained Homelander full of 'nuclear' kindness.

"Come to think of it, I, the Queen, feel that the processing speed of my God Body seems to have become much faster," Morgana said.

"I only feel my mind is calm, inside and out as one, and it seems I can control every cell in my body in a single thought. It seems it won't be long before I can reach the Human Immortal Martial Dao, the realm of a Martial Saint," Bai Yuekui said, sensing the changes within herself.

She had already completed the cultivation of the Human Immortal Martial Dao, the cultivation of Flesh, Tendon, Skin, Bone, Viscera, and Marrow.

According to the Martial Dao classification, she is already a Martial Dao Grandmaster!

One step further is the Blood Exchange Martial Saint; the Martial Saint realm is profound and vast.

A Peak Martial Saint has essence and Qi like wolf smoke, condensing a fist intent and spirit unique to oneself; at this level, ghosts, gods, and demons stay away, and one can shatter them with a single punch.

"Why do you all have realizations from eating a dish, while I have nothing?" Ye Fan scratched his head.

"Brother Ye, I don't have any either," Tony laughed.

"..." Ye Fan.

Can these be the same? Tony is not a cultivator, so what kind of realizations could he have?

"Xiao Shi, do you have any?" Ye Fan asked.

"Not yet."

Xiao Shi was in the middle of finishing the last plate of food, not even letting a single drop of oil go to waste, truly achieving a clean-plate campaign.

Ye Fan was glad that Xiao Shi also had no realizations, so he wouldn't appear too dull.

But when Xiao Shi stopped cleaning his plate, outside his nine Cave Heavens, the prototype of a tenth Cave Heaven vaguely appeared.

"..." Ye Fan.
