After sending away the ten slaves she just bought, He Xi happily went to the busiest Great Eastern Street in Yan Jing City—with the three million Yuan Jing in her ring safe.At this time, Great Eastern Street was the most crowded, and the doors to the stalls on both ends of the street were open. Everyone started yelling at the top of their lungs to promote their business. Together with the crowd"s noise, it painted a scene of a busy and prosperous street.
He Xi discovered that there were all sorts of items on the streets: Dharma treasures, elixirs, spiritual food, and foundation cultivation techniques. There were only things that one could not think of and not something that one could not get.
She walked the entire stretch with much interest and had bought quite a few items along the way. When it was slightly past noon, she then walked into one of the busiest restaurants.
The restaurant"s name was Drunken Fairy Restaurant, and it was very famous in Yan Jing City. All the delicacies they sold were made from ingredients filled with spiritual influence. When civilians ate them, their hearts would be nourished and bodies strengthened; cultivators did not need to worry about impurities acc.u.mulating in their bodies when they ate normal food.
Therefore, all the dishes at Drunken Fairy Restaurant had sky-high prices; and the customers were all from wealthy and formidable families.
Once He Xi walked into the Drunken Fairy Restaurant, she received the warm welcome of the waiters because she looked like a wealthy youngster with red lips and pearly white teeth; it was also because of the elegant but cold and distant expression she showed through her movements as if she did not care about anyone else.
He Xi was not polite at all. Once she sat down, she told the waiter to serve every single dish on the menu, causing the waiter to be elated beyond words; and he could not wait to satisfy this G.o.d of Fortune.
Before the spiritual food was served, He Xi sat at a seat near a window to wait as she looked at the bustling crowd with much interest.
Right at this time, she heard a few excited and emotional chatters from a few girls behind.
"Senior Sister Jiang, we finally came down from the mountains after much difficulty. Do you think we can see the legend"s King of Hades?"
"Junior Sister Lu, dream on. Everyone knows that the King of Hades has a simple lodging and his whereabouts are always a mystery. He"s not someone that minor characters like us could see anytime."
"I heard the King of Hades is very handsome and charming. He"s only twenty this year, but his cultivation was at a point far beyond what my sect"s Grand Master could reach. This is his formidable point!"
"Also, I heard that the King of Hades hasn"t married yet, and there isn"t a single concubine beside him. I really don"t know what kind of woman can be fit for such a powerful character."
The ladies kept going on and on and were filled with excitement and positivity, but He Xi only wanted to shake her head at their words.
As expected, in whatever world, there would be many fans that went after their idols. The enthusiasm of the few ladies was burning like wildfire. If the King of Hades they were talking about were to come down the stairs right at this time, could she hear their shrills of "I love you, King of Hades!"?
The few ladies behind talked about the King of Hades" clothes, appearance, cultivation, and chivalry pa.s.sionately. It was only until the waiter served the very first dish did they change the topic grudgingly.
When He Xi was about to pick up her chopsticks and start eating, she heard someone say from the table on the left, "Hey, did you hear? Something major happened at the miracle doctor"s Nalan Residence.
The few people at the table hurriedly asked for the details. The man then smiled, "You know the wealthiest Zhu family in Yan Jing City that opens a Yuan Jing mine, right? Early in the morning, the Zhu family"s Old Master brought his son and a bunch of servants to make trouble at the Nalan Residence and wreaked havoc.
