Chapter 1269: Chapter 115 Jin Yu Restaurant_4
Whenever Ah Dai thought of the delicious meal in Mimu City, he remembered how Xuan Yue had conjured a spoon with Light Magic as payment for the meal and couldn’t help but smile, "With you around, even without money, we won’t starve."
At that moment, the server walked in again, carrying a small tray with a delicate porcelain pot on it. She poured a cup of amber-colored liquid for each of the three, filling the room with a rich aroma that went straight through to one’s soul, instantly invigorating everyone.
Xuan Yue eyed the liquid before her with doubt, saying, "Levi, this isn’t alcohol, right? I don’t drink." She had once tried tequila with the three skeletons and still shudders at the memory of the burning sensation it left in her guts.
Olivia reassured her, "Don’t worry, it’s not alcohol. It’s a specialty beverage here called Amber Dew. Give it a try; it tastes really good."
Always keen on novel experiences, Xuan Yue picked up a silver cup inlaid with red glass to take a small sip, and was immediately moved, exclaiming, "Ah! How sweet!" The Amber Dew she drank brought a strong rose fragrance that penetrated her soul, and a wave of warmth rose from within, making her entire body feel as if its pores had opened up—an indescribably comfortable sensation.
The server explained, "Amber Dew is brewed from a variety of precious medicinal herbs and rose petals, and it’s extremely beneficial to the body. Most people who come here have given up drinking alcohol in favor of it. Frequent consumption can nourish yin, moisten the lungs, replenish qi, enrich blood, and prolong life."
Olivia laughed and said, "I was hooked on this stuff ever since I first tried it. Let’s not even talk about its nutritional value—the taste alone is unbeatable. Although my monthly salary isn’t low, I still can’t afford to drink here often. A pot of Amber Dew costs thirty Gold Coins, enough for an ordinary family to live on for a year. Amber Dew is exclusively produced by the Golden Jade Building. They say even the Royal Palace of the Empire of Tian Jing comes here to buy it."
Enjoying the refreshing sensation brought by the Amber Dew, Ah Dai said with a chuckle, "You really know how to enjoy life! But this is indeed much tastier than alcohol."
The dishes Olivia ordered were served one by one, each exquisitely made and boasting its own style. Even Xuan Yue, who came from the Church, couldn’t stop praising the lobster with shark’s fin when she tried it—each person had a small plate with shark’s fin at the bottom, topped with lobster meat carved into the shape of flowers, combining the distinct fresh taste of both shark’s fin and lobster.
After nearly two hours of dining, the three had consumed all the delicacies and two pots of Amber Dew. Xuan Yue leaned back comfortably in her chair, exclaiming, "That was such a satisfying meal! It’s just too bad I have no more room in my stomach, or I’d eat more."
Ah Dai said with a smile, "You should be careful not to overeat and become fat. Otherwise, you might have trouble finding a lady to marry you."
Xuan Yue’s pretty face blushed as she scolded, "Annoying! You’re the one who will turn into a big fatso."
Olivia suggested, "Let’s eat here again on our next visit. Ah! It’s already noon. Teachers, let’s go. Waiter, check please."
"Just a moment, please," the server responded and turned to leave the private room.
Ah Dai frowned and said, "Brother Vila, didn’t we say not to call us teachers? How could you forget again?"
Olivia slapped his forehead and laughed, "Right! Look at this memory of mine, I’ll change it, I promise. Oh, and by the way, Ah Dai, your Mage Robe is torn. I’ve brought several sets from the Guild for you to change into. Xuan Re, do you want one?"
Xuan Yue responded, "Sure! If the three of us wear Mage Robes, we would certainly look impressive. It would be quite welcomed wherever we go as mages. Do you have a low-level Light Magic Mage Robe?"
With a wave of his hand, Olivia opened his Spatial Bag, and said with a smile, "Of course, I have everything except Dark System robes. I knew you didn’t want to be ostentatious, so I purposely brought a few high-level Mage Robes." Pointing to the magic insignia on his chest, he continued, "See, even I’ve changed to a high-level Mage. This way, we won’t attract too much attention." While speaking, he took out Mage Robes of the Light and Fire Systems from the Spatial Bag and passed them over.
Ah Dai took the Mage Robe and said to Xuan Yue, "Come on, brother, let’s go to the restroom to change."
With a blushed face, Xuan Yue replied, "You go ahead, Big Brother. I’ll change after you."
Handing the Light Magic Mage Robe to Xuan Yue, Ah Dai laughed, "What’s this, are men also shy now? Okay, okay, no need to get mad. I’ll go first."
Ah Dai quickly changed his clothes, tossing off the tattered Mage Robe and putting on the new one before coming out looking a lot more spirited. He said to Xuan Yue, "I’m done, you go."
As Xuan Yue went into the restroom, the server returned with the bill in her hand, saying, "The total comes to two hundred and ten Gold Coins." For some reason, her face was unnaturally pale, her eyes conveyed a mournful look, as if she was immersed in great sorrow.
Olivia took out his purse, handed over three diamond coins, and asked, "What happened? You look very pale!"
The server’s eyes reddened as she took the diamond coins and said, "They want to eat those two sea dogs." Tears uncontrollably streamed down her face, dampening the white front of her uniform.
Ah Dai was taken aback and exclaimed, "What? They want to eat the sea dogs? Didn’t you say they were only for display?"
