歪果仁漫画

Zhao Yunxiao looked at a clock, then stood up to announce.

Vegetable chicken exclaimed excitingly, “Sister Yunxiao is treating us? Fantastic, we have been eating the school canteen food for over two months, our tongues are literally bored of the taste.”

Zhao Yunxiao retorted, “All of you are night guards and your wages aren’t modest. How come you can’t even afford a meal?”

Vegetable chicken explained, “We hardly had time to go out these two months. We’ve been staying at the school.”

“Alright, let’s go. I’ll treat you tonight and let you enjoy the delicious food of Beijing!”

“Hahahaha, long live Sister Yunxiao!”

Under the lead of Zhao Yunxiao, they quickly arrived at a restaurant named ‘Rain Flower Stone’.

The restaurant is located in a corner of the Jingzhao district of Beijing. It’s very quiet with not much foot traffic, but the luxury cars parked outside hint it isn’t just any place.

Zhao Yunxiao explained, “This is a restaurant that only the old Beijingers know of. It was established by the Zhu family, who are ‘foodies,’ and has been here for over two hundred years now.”

“The Foodie Family?”

“Yes.” Zhao Yunxiao nodded. “It’s a profession. The Zhu family in Beijing has quite a few people who are ‘foodies.’ They can add certain special statuses to the food they cook.”

“That …” Zheng Cheng said curiously, “Isn’t that similar to Zhuang Shuai’s profession?”

“Zhuang Shuai? He is also a ‘foodie.’

“No, his profession is called ‘Dark Cuisine Master.’”

Zhao Yunxiao looked puzzled. “How is it that everyone around you has such strange professions?”

Zheng Cheng shrugged. “I don’t know…”

“Come on, I don’t know if there are any tables left tonight.”

Zhao Yunxiao took the lead and took out an exquisite membership card. She swiped it at the entrance then took everyone inside.

What they saw was a courtyard similar to a Jiangnan garden, with small bridges, running water, rolling hills, and quiet surroundings.

There were many customers in the surrounding pavilions, enjoying the scenery while eating.

Vegetable chicken asked in a low voice, “How come this place doesn’t look like a restaurant.”

“Then what does it look like?”

“Like… a luxury club?”

“Get out!”

Just then, a figure in a cheongsam hurried over. Even before she reached them, a gentle voice echoed, “Sister Yunxiao, you have returned from Chang’an City and have come to see me. I’ve missed you so much!”

In a low voice, Zhao Yunxiao said, “Zhu Qingyun, the owner here and a member of the Zhu family. She’s good at playing to advantage. Be careful not to fall into her trap.”

After that, she went up to greet her, smiling, “Sister Yun, the first thing I did after returning to Beijing was to come here. I had been longing for your Jiangnan cuisine for a while.”

Zhu Qingyun laughed, “Well, I will personally cook today. You’ll definitely enjoy it. And…oh? Yunxiao, who are these…?”

Zhao Yunxiao said, “My subordinates, I brought them to see the world.”

“Young talented men, if you have caught Yunxiao’s eye, it only shows that you guys are truly capable.”

Zhu Qingyun laughed, “If Yunxiao is not around in the future, come over to my place. Although I don’t have a great deal to offer, I can certainly guarantee you three meals a day!”

Zhao Yunxiao said, “Sister Yun, please start preparing the meal. I can’t wait anymore.”

“Alright, alright.” Zhu Qingyun waved towards the inside, “Xiao Ying, quickly show them to Suite #8. Take care of them.”

A petite waitress came running, “Honorable guests, please come with me …”

Half an hour later, a table full of exquisite dishes was served by the waitress.

Zhu Qingyun came in and chatted for a while before being called away.

The food made by a foodie was really indescribable in taste.

The main ingredients were not only demon beasts and alien beasts, but also a large number of special plants and vegetables. The taste was crispy and dry, perfectly neutralizing the greasiness of the beast’s meat.

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the meal, even Yao Zhixue ate more than usual.

When they were leaving, the door of the neighboring room just happened to open, and seven or eight people came out.

Taking the lead were two young girls.

“Huh? It’s you!”

“Hmm? Lu Mengmeng?”

The ones they bumped into were none other than Lu Mengmeng and another little girl who was unfamiliar yet quite adorable.

The rest of the group were clad in ethnic minority costumes and, while short in stature, looked extremely capable.

Zhao Yunxiao also recognized Lu Mengmeng and asked with surprise, “Lu Mengmeng, why are you here?”

“Are you … Captain Yunxiao?”

Lu Mengmeng also recognized Zhao Yunxiao, and muttered, “I was invited by a friend for dinner… Oh right! Zheng Cheng, are you also participating in the contest of the Ten Hidden Dragons?”

Zheng Cheng replied nodding, “Yes, why?”

“Well, could you pair up with my friend? She is very powerful!”

As she spoke, she pushed the adorable girl in the ethnic minority costume, who was standing by her side, forward.

“You are… ”

Zheng Cheng was struck by a thought, “Purple Poppy?”

Purple Poppy nodded, “Hello there, Zheng Cheng. I have heard a lot about you. I hope you will go easy on me in the wilderness.”

“Don’t mind Mengmeng’s suggestion, we, as competitors, should give our best.”

Zhao Yunxiao glanced around and said, “This isn’t the best place to talk, let’s move inside.”

He called for a waiter to remove the leftover food and brought each of them a cup of clear tea and some snacks.

At the behest of Purple Poppy, the rest of the group returned to a nearby room.

Zheng Cheng proposed, “As Mengmeng’s friends and night watchers like us, when we encounter each other in the wilderness, how about we unite and advance and retreat together.”

Purple Poppy chuckled, “Since you’ve gone ahead and said that, I should also be clear.”

“I am not really interested in this contest of the Ten Hidden dragons, just fulfilling a family order. I may withdraw any time in the wilderness.”

“But if there’s a chance for me to help, I would definitely assist.”

“Uninterested? Really?”

“Yes.”

Purple Poppy said apathetically, “The title of the Ten Hidden Dragons … means nothing to me. I just wish to accomplish my family task peacefully and return to the South Border.”

Lu Mengmeng became anxious, “Xiao Zi, you didn’t say this before, wasn’t your family waiting for you …”

Purple Poppy shook her head and said, “That was before. After seeing the freshmen at school, I feel I am a bit off.”

“The world is so vast, isn’t it the same as what you Han people used to say, a frog in the well?”

“I was a little frog in the well before, gosh …”

Lu Mengmeng sighed, saying, “What a pity I’m a sophomore now, otherwise, we could easily secure our position in the Top Ten Hidden Dragons.”

“I wonder if Beijing University allows repeating a grade?”

Zheng Cheng’s eyes lit up, “By the way, Mengmeng, I heard from Sister Yunxiao that you also have a special skill, can I see it?”

Lu Mengmeng cautiously asked, “What are you up to? Uncle Wu told me not to show my skills to anyone easily.”

“Uncle Wu? Deputy Director Wu Fuqing?”

“Yes, him!”

Lu Mengmeng said, “He told me that I should not keep mentioning this ability in school, otherwise it will create unnecessary hassles if people come to know about it~”

Zhao Yunxiao laughed, “Alright Mengmeng, don’t worry. Zheng Cheng isn’t a stranger, let him see.”

“He also has a unique skill. You two can exchange and understand each other’s.”

“Really?” Lu Mengmeng’s eyes sparkled, “You have a special skill too? Not the one that gives people diarrhea, I already knew about that!”

“Yes.”

Zheng Cheng thought for a moment and showed his Central Radar Life Monitoring Technique skill to Lu Mengmeng.

Anyway, most people already knew about this skill, it wasn’t a surprise for Lu Mengmeng to see it.

Lu Mengmeng blinked her eyes, “Central Radar Life Monitoring Technique? Why is the name so long?”

“Well, this is what my skill does.”

After finishing his sentence, a skill frame appeared in front of Zheng Cheng. It was the unique skill Lu Mengmeng was showcasing.

That distinctive skill.

Zheng Cheng found it strange, “Little Deer Bouncing Around? What kind of joke name is that?”
