Chapter 288

"Guest, would you like something to eat?"

Ao Ling asked again.

Master said before, when guests come, promoting the dishes is the top priority!

"What dishes do you have here?"

Xuan Feng asked.

Originally she was more of an observer, coming over to look, and if it wasn't good, she wouldn't eat, but now she's been stirred up and her appetite is huge.

If she doesn't eat a good meal properly, she will never be willing no matter what.

Ao Ling nodded, looking at Xuan Feng's distressed face, and Ao Ling expressed understanding.

She was no different, except that having eaten quite a bit of Master's dishes, her resistance had slightly increased.

Pushing the menu on the counter in front of Xuan Feng, Ao Ling smiled and said: "Guest, our dishes are all on this Shang Mian, please take a look."

Smiling service, this is something Master often reminded her of, saying it's also a key*** in receiving guests.

Although she didn't think it was very useful, she had never seen Master smile at people, sometimes with a cold face, others would still rush over.

Ao Ling thought of this and couldn't help but let out a light sigh.

No way, having power means being willful!

Xuan Feng stretched out her hand, picked up the menu, and flipped through it.

But she was instantly attracted by the beautiful pictures on it.

The picture of each dish is a screenshot taken by Chen Nuo after cooking, with no falsification at all.

This world fundamentally has no concept of photographs, so Xuan Feng thought they were all painted.

This is too lifelike, isn't it? Xuan Feng marveled in her heart.

She had never seen such vivid painting skills before, and she couldn't help but admit that she was drawn to these pictures of delicious food before her.

The vivid colors are really too tempting, and the aroma lingering in the air remains undispersed.

Under the dual stimulation of sight and smell, Xuan Feng felt the dishes were as if truly real and placed right before her.

I really want to eat, Xuan Feng shouted excitedly in her heart.

Pointing at the menu: "I want this!

this!

and this!

that"

Xuan Feng's hands were trembling, gesturing wildly, and finally, in her excitement, she even slapped the menu onto the table.

"Give me one portion of all the dishes"

Xuan Feng waved her hand grandly, with a domineering look, as someone close to the Lady, she has plenty of money!

"Sorry, our shop rules, only one dish per day can be eaten"

Ao Ling shook her head and refused outright.

Xuan Feng raised her fine brows, with a hint of unwillingness on her face: "What kind of rule is this, opening a shop and yet having such a logic of taking money without earning, I'm not not paying for the meal"

Xuan Feng complained loudly, but in her heart she added a sentence.

If it's delicious, if it's not tasty at all, not living up to its name, don't expect her to pay.

But Ao Ling won't loosen up because of a few short words.

"Sorry, this is the rule set by Master, I can't do anything about it"

Ao Ling spread her hands.

What this woman said is also her own doubt, if she could casually buy food, she dares to guarantee that her Father King's gem private treasury is already empty.

I don't know why Master wants to make money but still argues with money like this, Xuan Feng's face suddenly fell.

However, she wasn't too stubborn, after all she came to eat, not to cause trouble, one dish is one dish, let's first taste if it's good or not.

Lowering her head, Xuan Feng thought carefully, each dish looked too delicious, making it hard for her to choose red-braised pork, sweet and sour pork, flying dragon soup... Xuan Feng filtered dish by dish, and finally, her gaze stopped on the flying dragon soup.

Although the picture is exquisite, she didn't recognize what was inside.

Flying dragon flying dragon, Xuan Feng blinked, could it really be dragon meat!

Xuan Feng licked her cherry lips, then she wanted to try it.

Lightly tapping, Xuan Feng smiled and said: "Then give me one portion of flying dragon soup"

After speaking, she kept staring at Ao Ling's face.

She wanted to see, when this little dragon knows she wants to eat dragon, what expression it will have.

But, Xuan Feng was disappointed, Ao Ling showed no abnormality, and fiddled with the crystal ball before taking it out.

Unwillingly said: "Please pay first"

"Take it"

Xuan Feng didn't care, took out a golden ingot from her hand, and placed it on the counter.

Since the Lady lets her out to stand guard every so often, and fun places are basically in the Mortal Realm... so she also carries some gold on her, a dish no matter how expensive could only be worth a few copper coins even if it's dragon meat,

what she carries is absolutely enough.

"The rest is just for your tip"

Xuan Feng said grandly.

However, Ao Ling didn't even look, and pushed the crystal ball in her hand forward: "Guest, our payment method is different from elsewhere, you just need to place your hand on top, and you'll know how much to pay"

Although expressionless, Ao Ling's heart was full of disdain.

This little money? Who are you trying to send off? She is the daughter of the Dragon King of the Eastern Sea, Eastern Sea, errands, errands for high-end experts, when has she ever run errands for money? Even if you could bribe her, rules are rules.

Want to eat more? No way!

Placing her hand on it, Xuan Feng observed the crystal-clear crystal ball before her, somewhat puzzled—just this little thing, it looks nice enough, but what else can it do? However, Xuan Feng didn't ask further.

Just try it and you'll know? Stretching out her hand, as instructed, Xuan Feng pressed it down; upon feeling the feedback, her expression changed dramatically.

Ao Ling didn't notice, seeing Xuan Feng comply, she continued: "Once you know what to give, then take out that meal money and place it on the crystal ball—consider the payment done."

"And this is your meal money for dining at Chaos Residence from now on."

After two seconds, seeing no response, Ao Ling curiously lifted her head—only to see Xuan Feng's face looking extremely grim.

Suddenly, Ao Ling was startled.

"Sir, what's wrong?"

Stretching out her hand, Ao Ling tentatively waved it before Xuan Feng's eyes—could she have been frightened silly by the price the crystal ball quoted?

Ao Ling seemed lost in thought; when she first learned she had to collect gemstones, she too had been furious.

Before, wasn't there also a powerful being, still the Heavenly Court's wealth god, who nearly got toppled by meal money?

Though it's highly unethical, it's truly laughable.

"Black Shop"

Xuan Feng gritted her teeth and let out a cold snort.

One meal actually wants a drop of her essence blood? What is she? A phoenix—phoenix nirvana requires burning essence blood!

One can imagine how vital essence blood is; the result? Even eating a meal has them eyeing her essence blood!

Downright a treacherous black shop!

Ao Ling spread her hands, somewhat helpless.

"Everyone's meal price varies by fate—I can't change it either."

Ao Ling sighed; if she could, she'd definitely swap her meal price from gemstones to gold and silver.

Compared to that, she regards gold and silver as dirt!

But Ao Ling's reasoning clearly isn't enough before Xuan Feng—for the phoenix clan, essence blood's importance far surpasses anything else.

She will absolutely not hand it over!

Her phoenix eyes turned cold, and her aura grew icy all around.

Ao Ling is merely a Golden Immortal stage cultivator—where could she resist the pressure of a Great Luo Golden Immortal level? If not for the chair beneath her being sturdy enough, she'd have been toppled.

Ao Ling gritted her teeth, straining to move her fingers, barely touching the crystal ball.

This is the treasure her Master uses to collect fees—it must not be damaged; Ao Ling resolves to first ensure the crystal ball's safety, no matter what.
