Chapter 60 It's Not My Business

"All excellent cuisines gathered in one place! Birds flying in the sky, animals running on the ground, and fishes swimming in the waters are all gathered in Zhenzhuan Restaurant! Dear guest, please have a taste."

There was a waiter with a white towel on his shoulder standing in front of the gate of Zhenzhuan Restaurant. His clothes were clean, and he was advertising the restaurant, with his voice loud and crisp.

Zhenzhuan Restaurant stood under the golden sunset and seemed imposing. Looking from the wide gate, one could clearly see the situation inside. The gourmets were sitting in front of the tables and enjoying the delicious food. The waiters were busy moving around the restaurant serving different guests.

Dugu Muyou rarely paid attention to these places for entertainment. However, she still heard of the name of Zhenzhuan Restaurant. Servants of the Dugu Family often talked about how great the restaurant was and members of the Dugu Family came there more than often.

"Why not have dinner here?"

Dugu Muyou went to Zhenzhuan Restaurant, touching her belly.

Zhenzhuan Restaurant was luxurious both inside and outside. The moment Dugu Muyou went indoors, a waiter came to greet her.

"Do you need to go upstairs and have a private room?"

The waiter was indeed watchful and insightful. As he glanced at Dugu Muyou's clothes, he judged that she was the type of guest that preferred having a private room.

"No, sitting downstairs would be fine."

The waiter was surprised that he misjudged.

"All right. We have a vacant table here and here is the menu of our restaurant."

A menu with a cloth cover was put in front of her. The menu had an elegant dark-gold pattern on its soft cloth cover, which was comfortable to touch. Dugu Muyou was amazed that even the menu was so elegant and then opened it.

The menu was categorized by kinds of cuisine. Dugu Muyou had a glance and fixed her sight on the category of "spiritual animal meat".

Although most spiritual animals had a frightening appearance, their meat was much tastier than normal meat after appropriate cooking. Most of the meat in the Dugu Family was spiritual animal meat and people who were used to eating spiritual meat would no longer enjoy eating normal meat.

Dugu Muyou was about to dismiss the waiter after ordering a few tasty dishes with nice names when she heard Blood Fox yelling discontentedly in Yuehua Diamond.

"Woman, you forgot me! I didn't speak all the time waiting for you to order roast chicken for me. But you let me down!"

Dugu Muyou said, "Add a dish of roast chicken."

Blood Fox yelled, "Two dishes!"

Dugu Muyou said, "Three dishes."

The waiter said, "All right, wait for us."

Blood Fox jumped out of Yuehua Diamond the moment the waiter left. It reached for the teacup Dugu Muyou was holding and drank a lot. Dugu Muyou could only push the teacup away and poured another cup of tea for herself.

Blood Fox sat on the desk after having drunk enough. And then it kept looking at the roast chicken in other guests' desks.

"As a divine animal, you really have a bad taste because you should enjoy eating normal meat."

Blood Fox didn't agree with her words. It shot her a sideways glance and said, "Of course, you mortals cannot understand my taste."

Dugu Muyou wanted to say something to it. But suddenly, she heard the noise at the door. About ten youngsters came in hustling each other.

Dugu Muyou felt some of them looked familiar. Seeing more closely, she spotted Dugu Ziteng. And the others that made her feel familiar were from the branches of the Dugu Family.

The waiter came and arranged them to the adjoining vacant desks. The youngsters sat down with a lot of noise and began to order, asking each other what to eat. It was indeed noisy.

"Zhenzhuan Restaurant is deservedly popular! I learned from my uncle that the cuisine here is really delicious. I must taste it since I have a chance to come here because of the trial."

"Hey, don't talk about tasting now. We are staying here for as long as possible and we can eat whenever we want!"

"Right. I am really surprised that we had forty places to participate in the trial. However, I dare not fight into the top ten."

They talked as they were ordering. Dugu Ziteng was relatively silent. He talked only when others asked him and remained silent drinking tea most of the time. As if knowing his habits, people rarely interrupted him.

Dugu Muyou stopped looking very fast, for it was very common for the Dugus from branches to eat out together now since they had settled down in the Dugus' house.

The waiter came with three large dishes of roast chicken and a big smile, "Dear guest, your dishes are here. Please enjoy it."

Blood Fox jumped to its beloved roast chicken and had large bites as soon as the waiter put down the dishes. The three dishes of roast chicken were as large as two Blood Foxes, and one could not stop wondering how it could eat so much with its tiny stomach.

Other dishes were also served one by one. Dugu Muyou tasted and thought it was indeed tasty, even better than the ones cooked by the private cook of the Dugu Family.

Dugu Muyou was suddenly attracted by a bunch of people at the gate while eating.

A confident young man in luxurious clothes was surrounded by his companions as if he had been the moon surrounded by stars. They were all well dressed with the young man in the best clothes standing in the middle. The young man was very attractive with his beautiful eyes, tan skin, and erect posture. As they entered Zhenzhuan Restaurant, a lot of people stared at them.

What day was it today? So many people from the Dugu Family came to this restaurant, contributing to so much of its sales.

Dugu Muyou giggled in her heart. The man in luxurious clothes was Dugu Herong, son of Dugu Xiao, and opponent of Dugu Qinglan in tomorrow's trial. The others surrounding Dugu Herong were men of Dugu Xiao who had a good relationship with Dugu Herong; otherwise, Dugu Herong wouldn't take them with him. However, Dugu Muyou knew no one of them anyway.

Dugu Herong and his followers were very familiar with Zhenzhuan Restaurant. They went towards the stairs as then entered the gate.

"Boss, I think the person over there is Dugu Ziteng."

One of the followers came close to Dugu Herong and told him in a low voice.

"Is it?"

Dugu Herong, who was about to go upstairs, stopped suddenly and looked with an evil smile at the direction his follower pointed. He gave up going upstairs, turned around, and went to Dugu Ziteng.

Dugu Ziteng and his companions noticed Dugu Herong and his followers since they were so conspicuous. Dugu Herong and his companions looked at each other, feeling very nervous.

Dugu Muyou tasted a slice of delicious meat as she looked out the corner of her eye.

Was there going to be some trouble? She thought to herself.

Dugu Herong came in front of Dugu Ziteng and stamped on the stool making a loud noise.

"We are going to eat here! Spare the seats!"

With Dugu Herong's leading, his followers soon came forward as well.

The timid ones of Dugu Ziteng's followers were apparently frightened while most others were just angry.

"Who are you commanding?"

Dugu Ziteng said in a cold tone, meeting the eyesight of Dugu Herong.

The followers of Dugu Herong burst into laughter.

"Who am I commanding? Old Four, answer this question."

"Huh. Our boss is asking you b*st*rds to leave. It should be an honor for you to give up your seats to us. It's also for your own benefit. You poor guys have only got the money given by the family. If you don't use it on cultivation but entertaining, you can't even afford Pill of Qi-Enriching, and then it would be too late even if you cry."

As soon as Old Four finished his words, Dugu Herong and others burst into laughter again.

Dugu Herong laughed wildly and said, "Old Four, don't be so mean. How can you say it in front of them? It must be hard for them to make up their mind and eat here."

"Bang!" Dugu Ziteng punched at the desk making a loud noise with all the dishes on the desk clattering.

"Go away! Otherwise, you'll suffer!"

"Are you threatening me?"

Dugu Herong stopped smiling. A gust of black spiritual qi hit the desk and split it into two halves.

"Bang!"

The dishes holding food on the desk all fell to the ground and crashed into pieces.

All the followers of Dugu Herong engaged in the fight. They overturned the desks where Dugu Ziteng and his companions were sitting and the sound of smashing dishes scared the timid guests away. Different cuisines mixed and smudged the ground. A minute ago, they were delicacies and now they were just garbage on the ground.

No one could be calm forever. Dugu Ziteng and his companions were extremely angry and began swearing and shouting. They all began jostling.

"You son of a b*tch! You only know how to a***e your power!"

A fight was unavoidable.

The manager was frightened and sweating at the counter. He had been watching all the time, wishing that they could deal with it by themselves. However, he had to talk to them now; otherwise, his shop would be ruined, let alone affecting the business.

"Dear guests! Please calm down! It's not a big business. We still have private rooms upstairs available. Please go upstairs and this meal will be offered for free!"

The manager only wanted to smooth things over and reduce the loss. He hoped that Dugu Herong and his companions would stop fighting since a free meal was given. As a businessman, he couldn't afford to annoy any of them, since they were all from the Dugu Family.

Dugu Herong sneered and tossed several gold notes.

"It's for the compensation. Let's fight!"

Dugu Herong yelled and stood back, away from the Dugus who were fighting.

The trial was a huge burden to Dugu Herong, because he was slightly hurt. Though he had the best medicine, healing would take some time, after all. So he didn't join the fight so that he could save his strength for fighting with Dugu Qinglan tomorrow.

Thinking about Dugu Qinglan, Dugu Herong's head ached because she was indeed a strong opponent. If he lost, he could never become the top three. Compared with the award, the honor of being in the top three was more important than anything, just as his father thought. Dugu Herong was older than Dugu Qinglan, but his rank wasn't as high. Therefore, Dugu Qinglan was a thorn in his skin and he must win.

The two bunches of people started fighting and it became chaotic. They stamped on the poured cuisines, and the ground became even messier.

All the guests on the first floor had run away except for a few of them looking on for fun in a safe place away from them.

The manager looked at the gold notes floating in the air. He was desperate for that the gold notes were not enough to compensate them. Most of the guests had run away without paying and the desks and chairs were made of top-quality wood!

It was impossible to stop them. The manager was prepared to resign when it happened.

"Be Quick! Move away all the tables and chairs! Stop idling! If you dare to slow down, your salary for all this year will be gone!"

The manager directed the waiters, trying to lessen the loss by taking away the tables and chairs that were still intact.

The manager no longer cared for his image. He rolled up his sleeves and moved the tables and chairs in person. However, as he glanced out of the corner of his eye, he saw a girl still eating in the corner.

She was eating slowly and elegantly as if she had been in a world of her own, not noticing what was happening in the restaurant.
