"I'm sorry, esteemed guests, but there are quite a lot of Yaoging tourists recently, and our little shop has limited space. We're already full."
Inside Wanmin Restaurant, Xiangling said, looking at Lingsha and Yunli, a little troubled.
"Ah? No seats left so quickly? We see an empty seat over there!"
Yunli asked, looking at a square table in the corner.
"That seat has already been reserved, so I apologize."
"Is that so? What a pity… We searched for so long to find this shop…"
Lingsha said with some regret from the side.
After meeting Feixiao, Lingsha couldn't refuse Yunli and took her out to find food.
For Yunli, the delicacies of Yaoging had been long anticipated.
And Wanmin Restaurant was ranked first in the popular reviews of all small shops in the Interstellar Travel Guide: Yaoging Chapter.
"Since that's the case, we'll just have to leave then. Let's go, Sister Lingsha. Although I'm very hungry, I think I can manage to find the next restaurant."
Yunli said to Lingsha from the side.
"Um… esteemed guests, only one person reserved that seat, and this table is quite large. How about you wait a bit? Doctor Wei will be here soon. He's very easy to talk to, a really good person! As long as you're polite, it'll definitely be fine! Ah, he's here!"
Xiangling said, waving towards the door.
"Sir, would it be convenient for my sister and I to share a table with you? At this time, if we go look for other shops, there probably won't be any empty seats."
"Big brother, you won't refuse, will you?"
Lingsha said, and Yunli also pretended to be an innocent and naive little girl, her eyes looking at Wei expectantly.
"I don't have any objections, as long as the two of you don't mind sitting at the same table as me."
Looking at the two, Wei shook his head and said.
"Hehe, thank you then!"
With that, Yunli and Lingsha happily sat down opposite Wei.
Being a square table, it could normally seat four people without a problem. Yunli was a child and didn't take up much space, and the other, Lingsha, was slender but also didn't occupy much room.
However, soon after, another young woman, dressed in apricot-yellow Cloud Knight attire, entered. She looked at Wei with a smile, and with Wei's consent, she also sat down. Wei recognized this person: Sushang.
As for Yunli and Lingsha in front of him, Wei didn't know their identities. After all, when he transmigrated, version 2.0 had just started. However, looking at Lingsha's appearance, which was almost identical to Honkai Impact 3rd's Danzhu, she was probably a character who would appear later?
Just as Wei thought he could order, another figure entered from outside the door.
She wore a black and white long dress, and her legs were encased in knee-high boots. However, what was most striking were her eyes, obscured by black silk.
As she walked, her long silver hair trembled slightly.
"Ah… I'm sorry, esteemed guest… it's already full inside."
Xiangling went to greet her, intending to say it was full, but seeing the black silk blindfold, she couldn't quite say it, then looked to Wei for help.
Sighing, Wei nodded again.
The next moment, this small square table was finally full.
"Doctor Wei, you all chat for a bit. I got something good today! Since there are five of you at one table, I'll just make it a five-person portion directly!"
With that, Xiangling waved her hand and left.
When Wei first came here, he had wondered if occupying a whole square table by himself would be a waste. Now, looking at the group of beautiful women beside him, Wei sighed.
Then… he played dead!
Nonsense, he knew the person next to him—his "wife" from the game, the legend of the Xianzhou Luofu, the former Sword Chief, Jingliu!
This was a true big shot. Earlier, Sparkle had warned him that a "lunatic" had come to Yaoging, and he thought she was talking about him… Now Wei knew, it wasn't a lunatic, it was a freaking divine mirror ice queen!
If this grand-aunt knew his identity, she'd probably turn into a madwoman on the spot and chop him down with a single sword strike.
In the game, he liked his "wife" more the crazier she was. But in reality, he wouldn't think that way…
Now, Wei's survival instinct was at its peak!
"This elder sister has an extraordinary aura; she doesn't look like an ordinary person. And the scent on you is perfectly complete; your eyes can actually see, right?"
It was Lingsha who first broke the awkward silence at the table.
Ever since Jingliu entered the small shop, Lingsha had been observing her.
After all, both her attire and aura showed Jingliu's extraordinary nature. Lingsha would ask, whether out of curiosity or responsibility.
She smelled a faint, ephemeral fragrance on Jingliu, like a night-blooming cereus.
Actually, Lingsha also smelled a unique scent on Wei. This scent wasn't prominent, but it always made people instinctively want to get closer.
"I am but a wandering swordsman; my identity is not worth mentioning. As for this black silk covering my eyes, it is merely to prevent being moved by the scenery. Although this Yaoqing Xianzhou is not my homeland, it has many similarities."
Jingliu turned her head towards Lingsha. Although the black silk ribbon obscured her gaze, Lingsha still felt that the other party was observing
her, and a chill rose from her heart.
"The Yaoqing Xianzhou Return Ceremony has attracted tourists from all over the universe, so it's normal for someone like you, sister, to be here."
Lingsha smiled, choosing to rein in her curiosity. After all, curiosity could kill the cat.
"I recall back then… she and I also traveled this festival just like you two. How happy we were then… I apologize, I was being impolite."
Wei was on tenterhooks watching her reminisce, but thankfully, Jingliu only sighed briefly, remembered the current environment, and then fell silent.
Everyone else's expressions were normal; only Wei knew that everyone at the table had just walked through the gates of hell.
If this grand-aunt went crazy, it was estimated that no one on the Yaoqing Xianzhou, except General Feixiao, could stop her. Even General Feixiao would probably have to use her Envoy authority to stop her…
"Pah! Disgusting! It's damn disgusting! Is this stuff even fit for human consumption? I thought the number one ranked restaurant on the Yaoqing Xianzhou would be amazing, but now it seems it's just a piece of trash! It feels inferior to the Interstellar Peace Corporation's cafeteria!"
Just as Wei was thinking about how to break the somewhat awkward atmosphere, a young man at a nearby table, dressed in a company uniform, suddenly slammed the table, spat the food from his mouth onto the ground, and said arrogantly.
"You brat, everyone else thinks it's delicious, only you think it's disgusting. Isn't that a problem with your own taste?"
A Xianzhou local next to him said with a frown.
"My problem? How could it be my problem! You make bad food and I'm not allowed to say it?! I just said it was bad and you're trying to shut me up, huh?! How can even a small restaurant have such loyal fans?"
The young man was relentless, his attitude extremely arrogant, and he even attacked the person who had spoken up for the restaurant.
"I say, are you a mad dog? Why do you bite everyone you see?"
The Xianzhou young man beside him also didn't tolerate the young man's behavior and immediately retorted.
"What a mad dog! I'm a lone wolf, don't you understand what a wolf is?! This is our department's unique wolf culture! I'm a lone wolf, Scott!"
With that, the young man named Lone Wolf actually howled like a dog twice.
