Chapter 119: Chapter 118: Strangers in the Secret Realm (3)

Old Ling went through the manual as he made his order: "I want two order of your special dumplings, four large order of Golden Honey-Glazed Chicken, Sweet snow pear & Lily bulb soup, three large pot of your plum blossom wine, mountain cloud green tea, Golden millet spirit brew and Bamboo dew crystal wine."

"That is such a large order." Li Jain was surprised,

"I know, I also want carry some food or drinks for grand children and great grand children but all of your foods are very expensive. " Old Ling sighed

Li Jain restaurant dishes are expensive because they are made with high quality spiritual herbs and their effects are immediate.

That’s why most of people who comes to buy are cultivators and a specific use for his dishes.

Old Ling sighed, recording the countless times he jade felt the benefits of those dishes himself. And some of the dishes he just ordered are for him to break through. After suppressing his cultivation for so long, he’s finally ready to breakthrough.

"Every spirit stone spent is worth the warmth it brings to my stomach." He even rubs his belly before continuing: "It’s just that, I don’t have much spirit stones left."

"You could be right, your bill is twenty nine thousand six hundred and fifty high grade spirit stones." Bai Lian who took the order from Li Jain ran through it quickly and give the bill.

When old Ling heard it, he almost fell to his knees. Hid mind race as he calculated the dwindling number of spirit stones left in his spatial ring: "I..."

He try for a long time but couldn’t come up with anything to say.

Bai Jain’s gaze softened, he can’t say that he understands the old man’s predicaments, but he try to. He don’t giving discounts or even giving the dishes away for free but that’s not how to run business and if his buns finds out, he can already imagine their angry faces.

"Give Old Ling 15% discounts on the five expensive dishes in his order." Li Jain instructed

"Yes, boss." Bai Lian nodded and left.

Old Ling felt a wave of relief wash over him but still cringed at the remaining total. Li Jain was amused at his reaction. He had never been in the position where he felt reluctant to part with a bit of spirit stones so he couldn’t understand old Ling’s pain. Even when he just arrived in this world and didn’t have a penny, he had a way to make it so he wasn’t worried.

He thought about something and his eyes lit up: "There are new beverages that’ll help with the summer’s heat. Although it’s contained spiritual energy, you only need a few gold coins to buy it. Your great grandchildren should love it."

"A spiritual beverage, in a spiritual restaurant, that doesn’t cost spirit stones?" Old Ling scoffed, thinking; he didn’t notice that Li Jain can also joke.

Li Jain saw that old Ling didn’t believe him. He chuckled and lean closer: "Sometimes, the simplest pleasure are the low cost treasures waiting to be discovered. Besides," he added shrugging his shoulders: "Apart cooling the heat and refreshing the body, it doesn’t have any other benefits. Also, it’s really delicious. "

Old Ling’s curiously was piqued by Li Jain. If there’s one thing he’s certain about is Li Jain’s food have never disappointed in taste and functions.

"Well, if it’s as good as you say, I suppose I cab spare a few coins for a taste. How much is it?"

"Perfect! I’ll have a batch ready in just a moment. It comes in three sizes small 1 gold coin, minimum two gold coins, and large three gold coins.

"It’s really cheap, are you sure it’s as good as you said it is?" Old Ling narrowed his eyes, he was very skeptical.

Forget about the trust he said he had in Li Jain’s dishes; right now he wasn’t so sure.

Li Jain was speechless by him. Weren’t it you who was complaining that the other dishes were expensive?

"How about this? Tell me your favorite fruit and I’ll give some to taste."

Old Ling’s brow furrowed in thought: "I have a soft spot for peaches.

Luckily, peace was among the flavors he made this morning. He put his hand in his space and took out a small plastic cup that was made specially for the smoothies. The one he took out has a white cream on top it look very inviting: "Here, try this." Li Jain grinned, handing the cup over.

Old Ling took it, the wafting aroma was tickling his senses. He put the cup to his lips without hesitation.

The coolness envelope his mouth as he took a sip. The sweet and refreshing flavor immediately burst in his mouth and the richness of the cream mingled seamlessly with the juicy peaches: "This... this is incredible!" Old Ling exclaimed, his eyes widened with delight.

"How many do you have left?"

Li Jain laughed at the old man’s reaction: "I have as of right now ten flavors, thirty bottles of each with ten in each sizes.

"I’ll take them all!" Old Ling declared. The thought of savoring the delightful smoothies along with his grand children was irresistible.

"Wait, wait," Li Jain chuckled, raising a hand to stop him: "That’s quite a hefty order for a single sitting. You might want to pace yourself."

He was just teasing the old man and as expected,

Old Ling waved him off: " Pacing? Nonsense! Life is too short not to indulge! Besides, after spending ten years here, I should have more great grandchildrenthan I remember." His laughter echoed in the restaurant, drawing curious glances from other customer.

Li Jain transfer all of the remaining smoothies into old Ling’s storage. Bai Lian also brought the dishes that he ordered. After all was said and done, old Ling left feeling very fulfilled. On the way, he made sure to try every flavors, thinking he was doing his grandchildren a favor.

At Vermillion Sword Hall, the sun was very hot.

Almost all of the students were in their classroom. But if you closely, you’ll three small figures running around the long buildings.

From the way they were running, you could tell that they weren’t playing but instead being punished.

The weather is too hot for any outdoor activities. Yet here they were drenched in sweat as they run from one end of the courtyard to another.

As soon as they were out of sight, the figure in front suddenly stopped, almost making the others to run into him.

"Why did you stop so suddenly? You almost knocked my teeth out!" Li Zhang said holding his knees as he gasped for breath.

"Then your teeth is not strong, if it can easily be knocked out by bumping into me." Li Yuhan retorted trying to catch his breath.

"We need to keep moving! If we get caught again it’ll be worse!

"Yeah, but I can’t run like this all day. My legs are turning to jelly. " Li Jingxuan complain shaking his head: "You guys cab keep going, only two labs left. When I’ve rested enough, I’ll complete mine."

As he said that, he sat down against the cool stone wall. He open his backpack took out a strawberrie smoothies.

"What do you think you’re doing?!"

"Huh?" Jingxuan held the smoothies cup up towards him: "I’m drinking the special drinks Dad made for us. He did said to drink it anytime during the day. Have you guys forgotten?"

Li Zhang and Li Yuhan exchange glances speechlessly: "Is this the reason why brought your bag out with you?!"

"Why did you think I was thrown out? I just wanted an opportunity to try this drink but I didn’t expect the punishment to be so serious. " He took a sip and his eyes narrowed as the sweet flavor flooded his mouth: "Whoa, this is amazing!"

"Let me have a taste." Li Zhang said reaching for the cup.

"No way! You can’t just it." Li Jingxuan yank it back, protecting it like a priceless treasure.

"You could at least share." Li Yuhan also wanted some. Only if they’d brought their backpacks with them.

"What’s the point of sharing with you too? You would drink it all!" Li Jingxuan took a long sip, ignoring his brothers pleading eyes.

This drink is really magical, he couldn’t even feel the heat anymore.

"Well, have it all to yourself. When we return home, I’ll tell father of what a good brother you was today. Your brothers are thirsty, yet you’re not willing to share!"

Li Jingxuan pause, AZ much as he wanted to have his drinks all to himself, he knew that his father wouldn’t be pleased when he heard that he was mean to his brothers. They can be mean to each other at home but when they come out, they have to stick together.

After a moment of hesitation, he relentlessly took out two other cups and hands it to them.

"Here you go, but you two owns me one each when you get your bag later." He added.

"Sure."

Li Zhang and Li Yuhan eagerly accepted their cups. They started drinking it right away.

"This is really good. And it’s perfect for this kind of weather." Li Yuhan said

"I know, it’s really delicious. I wonder how the other flavors taste like." Li Zhang said eyeing Jingxuan’s cup.

"Don’t even think about it." Jingxuan frowned.

"What are you three doing here?!" A voice suddenly called out to them startling them.

"Of course, as soon as I’m back from school. "

After saying that, Li Cheng try to activate the talisman nut found out that he somewhat lost it, so now he’s stuck.
