Chapter 272: A Payment Method That Would Make Nezha Envious

The Nezha who was ordering dishes nearby heard this and his face filled with even greater shock, his hands gripping tightly, almost tearing the menu apart.

The pretty and cute face showed an expression of utter disbelief—this Zhi Nv has too much gall, daring to provoke even Manager Chen like this!

Awesome!

"Manager Chen, I guarantee you'll look absolutely stunning in this."

Zhi Nv's whole person appeared extremely excited; although she knew doing this was rather excessive and might even anger Manager Chen.

But as soon as she thought about it, her thirst for knowledge could not be restrained—she really wanted to see what it would look like.

Fantasy and reality are ultimately not the same, alas!

Chen Nuo rolled his eyes: "Forget it.

You'd better keep this thing for yourself to wear."

If he had thought that way, he wouldn't have given up on Nezha's awakening of divine abilities back then.

Is this really Zhi Nv? Chen Nuo's mouth twitched.

Although the appearance matches, this temperament is too different from what I had in mind—I can't see any trace of the gentle, virtuous Zhi Nv from myth and legend at all.

Moreover, how did Zhi Nv develop this fetish for seeing people wear women's clothing? Chen Nuo eyed her suspiciously, then glanced at Nezha, who had his mouth wide open and a clueless expression.

A suspicion immediately arose in his heart.

"Ah? Like this?"

Zhi Nv's originally expectant face suddenly drooped, filled with disappointment.

But she did not continue to plead—after all, Manager Chen not getting angry over this was already a blessing.

Moreover, Nezha only obeys because he has leverage over himself.

"Manager Chen, sorry, I was just too excited."

Zhi Nv resumed her demure appearance, apologizing.

Chen Nuo shrugged: "No problem."

If he weren't willing, who could force him? He finds it amusing to watch others, but if it were his turn, it would be quite unbecoming—"Manager Chen, give me one of this."

Nezha suddenly spoke up, breaking the atmosphere, pointing at a spot on the menu.

He was truly afraid Zhi Nv would say something else shocking to secular sensibilities.

If they provoked Manager Chen into anger and weren't allowed to dine here, he would regret it to death!

At the very least, he'd have to wait until after they finished eating to say anything!

Nezha expressed worry about whether he could actually get to eat.

A glance exchanged, Chen Nuo nodded slightly.

He ordered a portion of fragrant crispy fried chicken.

Nezha then pushed the menu toward Zhi Nv and asked: "What would you like to eat?"

Better to stuff his mouth with food—if he let his cross-dressing slip out again, how could the esteemed Third Prince Nezha ever face anyone? Zhi Nv took the menu as instructed; she wasn't particularly hungry this time, her visit motivated more by curiosity.

But the moment she saw the menu, she was instantly drawn to the array of dishes listed—so tempting!

Zhi Nv became immersed; though not hungry before, now her appetite flared—she really wanted to eat all these dishes!

Zhi Nv unconsciously swallowed her saliva, but she remembered what Nezha had said.

Here, you can only order one dish per meal—quite a predicament!

Zhi Nv felt torn, after all, every dish looked so exquisite.

After a moment's hesitation, Zhi Nv said: "Then trouble me with a portion of egg fried rice."

In the end, Zhi Nv chose the staple, because it looked like a generous portion, and this golden fried rice, true to its name, was quite interesting, making her even more eager to taste it.

Chen Nuo nodded: "Then let's settle the bill."

Having experienced this before, Nezha was well-practiced—he directly paid with half-formed cultivation, and if he hadn't changed, he might not have come to Chaos Residence for a meal today.

After all, his cultivation progress has always been unusually slow; if he casually gave away like this, he wouldn't even qualify as a Three Altars Sea Assembly Great God!

At this consumption rate, not long from now, even a random Ox Ghost Snake God could surpass him.

Fortunately, he now possesses divine abilities, allowing him to alter his cultivation qualifications—this half-formed cultivation, even with full effort training, won't take long.

Twice the result with half the effort.

When it was Zhi Nv's turn, her slender bare hands also rested on the crystal ball, learning with proper form.

Next came waiting for the crystal ball's feedback—after receiving it, Zhi Nv's whole person felt a bit dazed, her expression astonished.

Eating a meal actually costs her one-fifth of her magical power—truly strange indeed!

"How so? What is the standard for meal fees?"

Nezha asked curiously.

If one can't afford it, they won't even be able to eat!

Zhi Nv softly replied: "It requires one-fifth of magical power.

"

This is a bit expensive... Nezha hesitated, worry flickering on his face, but the next moment, he realized something was off.

He widened his eyes—one-fifth of magical power, not cultivation!

Damn, this difference is also a bit too large!

Originally, he thought Zhi Nv and he both paid meal fees with cultivation, so when he heard one-fifth, he still felt it was too much.

After all, one-fifth of cultivation is no joke—it could truly shake one's foundations!

But who would have thought it was actually magical power? Magical power, though crucial in battle, once consumed only needs training to replenish quickly.

No realm drop—this is too unfair! Nezha wanted to cry but had no tears—why must he pay the price of cultivation? From Tianpeng he also learned roughly that everyone's meal fee depends on luck, more or less; compared to that, Zhi Nv's luck is too good—enviable!

Seeing Nezha like this, Zhi Nv felt some doubt: "What's wrong—is my standard too high?"

Zhi Nv blinked, her red lips lightly pursed, she actually felt she could accept it!

If this dish really is as superb as Nezha said, it's absolutely super value!

Expensive hammer, Nezha gritted his teeth, almost jumping with anger.

One-fifth of magical power counts as expensive, so what is his half-formed cultivation consumption in terms of this magical power thing? In a whole day, he can recover two full ones.

And cultivation, reduced by half-formed cultivation at least also requires seven days, or him wearing the highest rank skirt while cultivating, truly person compares person qi die person!

If he had this fee standard, where would he still have so many worries? Definitely daily come eat!

Zhi Nv injected one-fifth of magical power, neither more nor less, into the crystal ball.

Seeing the crystal ball directly absorbing magical power, Zhi Nv's eyes held a touch of novelty.

"Unexpected, this ball can still absorb magical power?"

"Should be a not bad magical treasure, right?"

Feeling the sudden emptiness of magical power within her body, Zhi Nv again lightly furrowed her brow, casually sighed one sentence.

"Indeed is a little expensive"

If she could order more dishes, she at most could only order four or five portions of dishes.

Hearing this, Nezha almost spat out a mouthful of angry blood, really anger people!

Especially this solemn narration, actually showing off words!

Looking at so stifled Nezha, Chen Nuo forcibly suppressed the urge to laugh scene expression, and saw Zhi Nv had already paid for the dishes.

Lightly said: "You guys casually find a seat to sit.

Dish soon ready, wait a moment"

After speaking, not waiting for the two to react, already quickly returned to the back kitchen.

"Zhi Na really great"

Nezha casually found a seat, raised his thumb toward Zhi Nv.

Also subtly glanced at the back kitchen position, opened mouth to say: "How dare you say that kind of thing to Chen the shopkeeper, don't you want to live anymore?"

Chen the shopkeeper's cultivation is heaven-reaching and earth-penetrating, if you anger him, let alone Zhi Nv, even Nezha estimates he won't have good fruit to eat.

Making Chen the shopkeeper wear female attire, also Zhi Nv dares to say it out loud.
