Capítulo 2025: Chapter 2024: Star Picking Restaurant, Trouble Arrives
Though the na Death Ancient City carries the word “death,” it’s not desolate here; instead, it’s bustling with traffic.
It is the first major city in the northwest of Immortal Island, unparalleled by any other.
Because this is the closest defense line to Death Swamp, any change in the swamp reaches Death Ancient City first.
Therefore, it’s the most frequented location.
Immortal Island is the ho of everyone; so even believe the danger level of Death Swamp exceeds that of the Sea Beasts.
They even wish to lure the Sea Beasts into the Death Swamp, letting them kill each other.
The towering Death Ancient City is mostly dark yellow.
The city is surrounded by countless flowers, grass, and trees.
It’s said these plants can effectively prevent the spread of Death Swamp. Though it’s only a temporary solution, it’s a way of buying ti.
So when Xu Zii arrived with Mu Yang, the surrounding greenery looked like a forest.
On one side of the forest lies the silent swamp, while the other is vibrant with life, like two extres.
Entering the forest, the city ahead is easy to recognize.
A large bronze gate stands open.
Death Ancient City has no absolute ruler, being the first line of defense, everyone works together.
As for the specifics, Xu Zii wasn’t clear and needed to enter the city to understand.
The entrance was unobstructed.
People ca and went, and upon entering, the wide, clean central street was bustling yet orderly.
Street stalls were not allowed, yet the shops on both sides were crowded.
The aroma of inn food mixed with wine from taverns, making Mu Yang’s stomach rumble involuntarily.
Mu Yang blushed; despite being a Cursed Body, eating was no different than a normal person.
Having traveled from the Hidden God Sect, Mu Yang hadn’t had a single al.
Xu Zii had long abstained from food, only eating for pleasure.
“What do you usually eat?” Xu Zii asked.
“Anything, we eat whatever’s available in Death Swamp.
If it’s winter, we even dig up wild vegetables,” Mu Yang replied.
Death Swamp wasn’t friendly to them, and outsiders weren’t either.
If it weren’t for her mother’s illness, Mu Yang wouldn’t dare to leave.
Many outside wanted to catch her for research.
Since they couldn’t enter Death Swamp, aborigines like her beca the main research focus.
Xu Zii wasn’t short on money and directly sought the best restaurant in Death Ancient City.
Xu Zii wasn’t certain what “best” was, but this hotel was 33 stories high, the tallest building in Death Ancient City.
Just looking up reveals it.
It must be the best, with no lack in class.
“Star Picking Restaurant”
That’s the restaurant’s na, with two lines of text carved beside the entrance.
“From on high, stretch and pluck stars.”
Upon entry, they were greeted by won in elegant cheongsams.
The restaurant’s staff were all beauties.
Inside was lavishly decorated.
A waterfall cascaded down from the 33rd floor, landing on the ground floor.
The surrounding walls were adorned with brown wooden tiles made from expensive pear wood used as flooring.
The candle stands were inlaid with glazed gems.
It’s unknown how much it cost to build this restaurant.
Upon entering, Xu Zii chose a private booth, the seating resembling sofas, covered with so animal’s fur.
Extrely soft.
A cheongsam-clad woman brought the nu, but Xu Zii waved dismissively.
“Just bring your restaurant’s signature dishes,” he said, not bothering with the price.
The woman knew he was wealthy and beca even more enthusiastic.
After she left, Mu Yang cautiously asked, “Won’t this place be too expensive?”
“No worries; I have more money than I can spend. You can’t take it with you, so why keep it?” Xu Zii said.
The restaurant’s service was indeed good.
At least the serving speed was fast.
With every dish served, the cheongsam woman introduced it.
“This is Songjiang fish, made from the finest crucian carp of Songjiang. Only 200 are produced annually and sell out quickly.
The fish is fresh, fragrant, and tender. Guests can try it.”
“This is Ancient City Specialty Thousand Year Liquor, the best drink outside Star Picking Restaurant.
It’s aged for a millennium, almost as ancient as our restaurant itself.”
Each dish was uniquely flavorful, and Xu Zii sampled a few, indeed finding them excellent.
anwhile, Mu Yang’s eating manner was rather unsightly, nearly devouring the food, like she’d never tasted such delicacies.
At this mont, a commotion sounded outside Star Picking Restaurant.
A group entered, their attire varied, including all sorts.
But the most prominent figure was the young man in the center, surrounded by admiration.
The youth wore a white embroidered garnt, impressively handso, surely from a prestigious family.
“Young Master Lui went hunting recently, reportedly catching a Spirit Deer.
That deer is a sign of good fortune, proving Young Master Lui’s luck has certainly skyrocketed.”
Soone flattered him.
The young man coldly glanced at him, saying, “That deer has already been roasted and eaten by .”
The person was imdiately embarrassed, slapped in the face.
Then, the restaurant manager approached specifically to serve Young Master Lui, recognizing his exceptional status.
“What would Young Master Lui like to eat today?”
“I’m tired of your restaurant’s dishes,” Young Master Lui said, sitting with boredom.
“Any new specialties lately?”
“Prepared especially for Young Master Lui,” the manager smiled and whispered.
“A human feast, is Young Master Lui interested?”
Young Master Lui’s eyes brightened, he chuckled, “Manager Tong knows ! Phoenix Senior entrusted you to manage the restaurant, wisely so.”
Manager Tong rely chuckled, asking, “Why didn’t Phoenix Senior join you?”
“My father is busy; lately, there’s been unrest in Death Swamp, possibly spreading,” Young Master Lui casually said.
“My father is discussing with the Alliance Hierarch; he’ll be unavailable for a while.”
Under Manager Tong’s guidance, the group was heading upstairs.
Then soone looked towards Xu Zii, seemingly spotting sothing.
Whispering to Young Master Lui.
“Is it true?” Young Master Lui slightly frowned.
“It shouldn’t be wrong; we can verify it easily,” the person nodded.
Young Master Lui then changed direction, heading towards Xu Zii.
“Ah, trouble’s coming,” Xu Zii set down his chopsticks, smiling at Mu Yang.
