Douluo: I became Qian Renxue's sister
Chapter 122 A Black Shop in Need of Renovation
Xingdou Town, Yongshi Hotel.
Qian Ruyue, Tianyue, and Golden Crocodile Zhu Zhuyun sat around a sturdy wooden table, which was filled with delicious dishes that filled the air with an aroma that made people salivate.
The four of them have begun to taste the delicacies on the table. They picked up various dishes with chopsticks and put them into their mouths, enjoying this rare delicacy.
While Tianyue was eating, her keen intuition made her feel the gazes of those around her.
Although there were people coming and going in the restaurant, she could always feel some unusual attention.
She frowned slightly, then leaned closer to Qian Kisaragi and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Xiaoyue, do you feel that the atmosphere in this restaurant is weird? Since we came in, I always feel like someone is staring at us."
After hearing Tianyue's words, Qian Ruyue also slowed down her eating. Her eyes changed slightly, but she quickly regained her calm.
She looked around calmly and responded to Tianyue in a low voice.
"I noticed that, too. Maybe our appearance has aroused other people's curiosity. After all, we just came back from the Star Dou Great Forest and we still have traces of battle on our bodies. However, we still have to be careful and not let these distract our attention."
Jin E and Zhu Zhuyun noticed the two people whispering, put down their chopsticks, and showed concerned expressions.
Golden Crocodile chose to remain silent and pretended not to know.
Zhu Zhuyun was even more alert. "We'd better stay alert. This place is not far from the Xingdou Great Forest. There may be people with bad intentions."
Qian Ruyue nodded, her eyes swept around the hotel, and finally stopped at the stairs on the second floor.
She saw occasional shadows swaying behind the railing on the second floor, as if someone was secretly observing them. Her voice was low and calm.
"Yeah, that's right. We need to stay alert. I don't feel quite right either. This place is too close to the Star Dou Great Forest. There are all kinds of people here. Let's finish our meal and leave early."
Tianyue gently put down her chopsticks and nodded slightly to show her agreement. There was a hint of sharpness in her eyes: "Maybe we shouldn't stay here too long. Let's leave after we finish eating and find a safer place to rest."
The Golden Crocodile held the water cup in front of him with his big hand and said firmly: "If there are really people with bad intentions, then come on, I will let them know that I am not someone who can be provoked by just anyone."
...........
Twenty minutes later, Qian Ruyue and the other three had eaten and drunk their fill and were ready to leave. Qian Ruyue waved to the restaurant owner and prepared to settle the bill.
"Boss, please settle the bill. We ordered five dishes. How much is the total?" Qian Ruyue's tone was calm, but there was a hint of alertness in her eyes.
The restaurant owner came over when he heard the noise, with a professional smile on his face: "Okay, please wait, I'll calculate it for you right away." He turned around and called a waiter to calculate the bill.
The waiter was holding a wooden board for accounting, checking the dishes and calculating with a charcoal pencil. After a moment, he quoted a price that surprised all four of them.
"For four guests, the total is five hundred Silver Soul Coins." Although the waiter's voice was not loud, the price was obviously beyond Qian Ruyue's expectations.
Qian Ruyue frowned slightly. She knew that although the food here was good, it was not so expensive.
"Five hundred silver soul coins? Isn't this price too high?"
Upon seeing this, the restaurant owner immediately explained: "Dear guests, our prices are fair, and these ingredients are freshly collected from different places in the Xingdou Great Forest.
And our cooking techniques are very particular, so the price is relatively high.”
Tianyue couldn't help but interrupt: "No matter how fresh or exquisite it is, it shouldn't be so expensive, right?"
Zhu Zhuyun was even more direct: "Boss, you are not blackmailing us, are you?"
When the restaurant owner heard this, he was immediately unhappy and retorted: "How can you, a little girl, lie with your eyes open? I am seeking truth from facts here, how can I cheat you?"
Faced with Zhu Zhuyun's questioning, the restaurant owner seemed a little unhappy. He insisted that his prices were reasonable and claimed that the restaurant's ingredients were carefully selected and good value for money.
"Little girl, our prices are fair. These ingredients are carefully collected from the Star Forest, and each one has its unique value and origin." The restaurant owner responded.
Tianyue didn't buy it. She continued to ask: "If it is true as you said, then please tell me, where in the Star Dou Great Forest are these ingredients collected?" She wanted to verify whether what the boss said was true.
The Star Dou Great Forest is a vast and mysterious place where soul beasts gather and the terrain is complex, ranging from wetlands to swamps. The locations where various ingredients are collected will also vary.
If the restaurant owner could provide the specific location where the samples were collected, perhaps that would prove his point.
Ah, this...this," the restaurant owner seemed a little flustered under Tianyue's questioning. He was obviously not prepared to face such doubts, and he stammered and couldn't explain it clearly.
Finally, the boss gave up explaining and revealed his true attitude: "You don't care where I got it from, just pay honestly."
Tianyue was also angry. She was just having a good meal, but was slaughtered like a fat sheep by others. "If we don't make it clear today, don't even think about asking us to pay."
Upon hearing this, the restaurant owner gave a sinister smile and said, "So you don't plan to pay."
Tianyue was firm, "No."
Qian Ruyue looked at the restaurant owner's attitude. She already knew everything. She stood up and said, "Oh, Xiaoyue, you don't have to argue with him. It's obvious that this is a shady shop."
"What, a shady shop!" Tianyue's surprise was beyond words. She didn't realize things would develop to this point.
Qian Ruyue turned her head and looked around, and said in a relaxed tone: "I see that many places in your hotel are in tatters. I think it is necessary to renovate it."
The quarrel between Qian Ruyue and the other three and the restaurant owner soon attracted the attention of people around them. Some guests dining in the restaurant and other passers-by began to watch and talk about it.
The restaurant owner was fearless and even snorted coldly, "Hmph, it seems you guys are not going to accept my toast and will have to pay the price."
Then he clapped his hands and said, "Brothers, someone is eating a free meal, take action."
As soon as he finished speaking, the seemingly ordinary customers and guests on the second floor all stood up. They emitted strong soul power fluctuations and cast fierce eyes on Qian Ruyue and the other three.
It was obvious that Qian Ruyue and the other three fell into a carefully set trap.
Qian Ruyue said calmly, "So you are just a bunch of trash who use despicable means. I believe you have used this trick to deceive many outsiders. Today, let me enforce justice and destroy you. Tell me, what force is behind you?"
The restaurant owner had never seen anyone so calm. He was frightened by Qian Ruyue's aura, "You... who are you?"
Tianyue kicked the wooden table away, and it rolled in the air, with fragments flying everywhere, which became the prelude to her declaration of her position.
Her voice was sonorous and powerful, echoing in the hotel. She imitated Qian Ruyue's tone and added her own style.
"Now, the one standing before you is a beautiful and kind-hearted genius who likes to punish evil and promote good. My name is the nightmare of the wicked and the shelter of the weak. Wherever I walk, justice follows me like a shadow."
"Remember my name, Tianyue, because I will be your only fear. In front of me, you can only surrender, not resist."
------
Zhu Zhuyun felt that this way of introducing herself was quite good, so she started to learn and follow his example.
"Now, standing in front of you is the most beautiful woman in the entire continent. My name is Yun Zhu, which represents the tranquility and tenacity in the bamboo forest and the changes and unpredictability in the clouds. My strength comes from my understanding of nature and my respect for life."
"My claws are the cold light under the night sky. Every time I unsheathe them, it is to defend justice. My will is the bamboo joints in the wind. No matter how fierce the storm is, I will always be unyielding.
In front of me, there is only justice, no evil
