FVN Chapter 88 Bald Donkey
Chapter 88 Bald Donkey
However, because Lily did not focus her pressure on Hervy, he was unscathed, except for a slight chill he felt from the menacing pressure.
"Why didn't anyone tell me she was a Mana Vein Tempering Realm Mage!?" Hervy clutched his rapidly beating chest in fear.
[Who knew the innocent, naive, and gentle Lily could be so fierce...] The System said to Lucian after witnessing the spectacle.
[That's exactly what I was thinking!] Lucian silently nodded as a subtle smile graced his lips from witnessing her behavior and actions.
It was definitely to his liking. One should not just roll over and let themselves be bullied.
Suddenly, a new rule appeared in the menu.
'Seventh Rule:
No customer is allowed to bully the chef-owner or the employees.'
Once the new rule was written into all menus, the System relayed the new rule to Lucian, who was more than happy with its addition to the menu.
[Host, are you not worried that I will cripple you for hiring Lily as a waitress?] The System's solemn voice sounded out in Lucian's mind after a while.
Lucian chuckled, [Of course not, otherwise you would have done it already. And just so you know, she isn't a waitress.]
The System did not respond since it did not care what Lily's title was, whether it was waitress, wife, or both, it was all the same to it.
After serving the dishes, Lily eagerly walked over to Lucian and asked nervously, [Big Brother Lucian, can Lily eat in your kitchen... with the barrier up?]
[Sure.]
[Really? Thank you, Big Brother Lucian! You're the best!] Lily gushed and skipped into the kitchen. Immediately after, the familiar barrier sprung up.
'Ahhh~'
'No wonder they praised his dish to the high Heavens. This is beyond delicious.' James felt every single Low-Grade Mana Stone was worth this dish. The taste was unlike he had ever tasted.
Though the taste was delicious, what truly made the dish worth the price was the chef-owner knew how to infuse Mana into his dishes.
This method of cooking was something he had only been fortunate enough to try during the Young Master Orchard's twentieth birthday.
'To think I would meet a chef who knows how to infuse Mana into a dish in this backwater place.'
Although James was correct in his conjecture, he was not entirely correct either. Lucian's dish was not as simple as a Mana-infused dish. His food not only contained Celestial Mana provided by the System, but he had maintained the Mana within the ingredients during the cooking process.
If James knew the truth, his reaction would have been far more drastic.
A few hundred feet away from the restaurant, the chubby young man named Li Yong looked at them with a frown as they ate.
"Amitabha, Buddha is merciful!"
A clear and gentle voice sounded beside him, causing Li Yong's frown to deepen, but he did not pay attention to the young monk beside him.
"Almsgiver, instead of waiting here and watching them eat enviously, why don't you go and try the chef's food?"
'...' Li Yong took a deep breath and continued ignoring the monk.
However, Anselm did not give up and continued to pester him, "Just look at their infatuated faces as they eat. It's like they are taking a bite out of the most beautiful goddess in existence. And the juices on their lips... The way they are licking their lips. It must be heavenly nectar! Any man would die happily after just a sip, yet they get to enjoy mouthfuls of it. What a pity!
Where is the equality? I say, Almsgiver should march in there and demand a serving."
Li Yong gritted his teeth as the spark of fire in his rotund belly grew. The bald donkey's words gnawed at him bit by bit, causing his stomach to rumble in agreement, urging him to go.
