Their fried rice is so delicious!
Shen Muxuan shoveled the fried rice into her mouth with a big spoon, her face beaming with happy contentment.
An Yi rolled his eyes at the sight.
This is a buffet that costs 688 yuan per person!
And she's eating fried rice!
On An Yi's table, there were stuffed with big bones.
The plates were also filled with all kinds of meat!
Shen Muxuan's favorite was chopped steak for mixing with rice.
An Yi was beside her, holding a knife and fork, cutting the steak neatly for her.
Eat, eat to your heart's content! The goal today is to eat the buffet restaurant out of business! An Yi shouted.
The two of them ate very fast, and the plates on the table were replaced one after another.
Especially Shen Muxuan. She ordered eight servings of fried rice as soon as she sat down, which stunned the buffet restaurant owner.
So full!
I haven't eaten like this for a long time!
Then, An Yi was looking at his phone and suddenly froze.
The reason why the buffet at the Hillmore Hotel is so expensive is because of all the precious seafood!
The steaks he was gnawing on only cost a few bucks!
An Yi looked at the half - eaten charcoal - grilled lamb leg in his hand and said to Shen Muxuan, "Come on, open your mouth!"
Ah~
Shen Muxuan stopped shoveling rice and opened her mouth.
An Yi put the lamb leg in her mouth. "Don't just eat fried rice. Try this lamb leg."
Mmm, it's good!
Shen Muxuan's eyes curved into crescent moons.
How full are you? An Yi asked calmly.
Shen Muxuan held up three fingers. "Thirty percent full."
Good.
An Yi grinned.
The next scene shocked everyone in the restaurant.
An Yi pushed two tables together and piled up almost all the most expensive dishes in the buffet.
Next to the extremely beautiful girl at the table, there were stacks of high - piled plates.
The lobby manager, with a bruised face, took the elevator to the restaurant. When he saw this scene, he almost knelt down.
Sir, um, this, you've eaten too much!
Although the buffet is free, it's not supposed to be eaten like this. The restaurant will lose a fortune.
He was going to get fired.
Plop!
A bank card was placed on the table.
The lobby manager's face changed slightly, and he asked curiously, "What's this?"
I'm buying the restaurant. An Yi looked at the lobby manager calmly.
The lobby manager's face changed again, and then he said, "You're joking, right?"
Oh, do you think I look like I'm joking? An Yi said calmly.
Suddenly!
All the customers in the restaurant looked at An Yi in shock.
They knew that they had met a super - rich person today!
Sure enough, real super - rich people are not judged by their appearance. Who would have thought that this ordinary young man, who even looked a bit poor, would open his mouth and say he wanted to buy the restaurant.
An Yi curled his lips slightly and sipped the yogurt in his glass.
Sure enough, the charm of money is so easy to get addicted to.
The lobby manager's bruised face was beaming with joy, and he was so excited that he didn't know what to do. "Sir, you have to think it over. This restaurant costs 50 million yuan!"
Cough!
An Yi was choked when he heard the price.
Fifty million?!!
Are you kidding me!
He thought 5 million yuan was the limit.
Please wait a moment. I'll go and report to the boss right away!
Without waiting for An Yi's reply, the lobby manager rushed to the general manager's office happily. "Boss, boss, someone wants to buy our hotel."
Next to him, Shen Muxuan stopped shoveling rice and stared at An Yi with wide eyes. "An Yi, are you really going to buy this hotel?"
An Yi kept a straight face. "Eat less. We'll have to run away later."
Shen Muxuan:
Meanwhile, on the other side of the restaurant.
Bai Xiu was having a meal with a heavily - made - up woman.
I didn't expect you to look so poor but be so generous.
The heavily - made - up girl was holding a lobster and smiling.
She looked quite young and might be a student.
Anyway, after heavy makeup, she still had a good appearance.
But it was obvious at a glance that she was a bit of a flirt.
Bai Xiu looked at the girl and said with a smile, "How about it, Qingqing? Is it delicious?"
It's okay. After all, this is the most high - end buffet in Jiangbei City. But if you want to chase me, you seem to be a bit short.
The girl called Qingqing sucked her fingers and looked at Bai Xiu seductively. "I just didn't expect you to be so good at fighting. Those security guards were no match for you."
Although in today's society, fists are the most useless thing in the face of money and power.
But for girls, boys who are good at fighting are still quite attractive.
Moreover, Bai Xiu's moves were really cool when he beat those blind security guards just now.
I've learned taekwondo, so I'm good at fighting.
As Bai Xiu said, his eyes were fixed on Qingqing's chest.
Don't get me wrong!
Bai Xiu was different from An Yi. His attention was not on the deep, white cleavage.
It was on a black pendant on Qingqing's chest.
Seeing Bai Xiu's absorbed look, Qingqing laughed. "I'm really curious. Why do you keep chasing the school beauty Ye Sisi but secretly date me?"
Bai Xiu said, "Because..."
Because you're flirty!
Stop talking. I get it. Is it nice?
Qingqing deliberately straightened her body forward and lowered her chest, looking at Bai Xiu with a smile.
Bai Xiu twitched the corner of his mouth and nodded. "It's nice."
I have to admit that this woman has some charm.
Just looking at her figure, she really had the ability to make people feel hot all over.
But his real focus was not here. It was on the pendant hanging on her chest.
That useless system that only lulled him to sleep.
Today, it unexpectedly gave him a mission to seize the pendant. It was said to be the key to the Hongtian Secret Realm!
Bai Xiu was really curious about what secrets this black pendant was hiding.
At the other end of the buffet restaurant.
Shen Muxuan was eating and looked at An Yi curiously. "Are we really going to run away?"
An Yi said indignantly, "They're asking for 50 million. They're obviously trying to rip me off. Why not run?"
His previous show - off had been too successful, and it was putting a lot of pressure on him.
Shen Muxuan said weakly, "But you said you wanted to buy it..."
At this time, An Yi had an epiphany.
Why did he have to run away?
He could just push the price down to a level they couldn't accept and let the deal fall through.
This way, it wouldn't affect his cool image!
Just then, the lobby manager walked over in small steps, personally carrying a dish in the shape of a phoenix and placed it on An Yi's table.
An Yi raised his eyebrows. "What does this mean?"
I'm really sorry, sir. The boss said he has put too much effort into this hotel and has no intention of selling it.
The lobby manager said with a smile, "This dish is called 'Phoenix in Flight'. It's a famous imperial dish. It's a little gift from our boss. I hope you'll accept it."
People around were amazed.
It was said that just the bean sprouts in this dish took five chefs half a day to pick, and it took at least three days to make this dish.
This young man is really extraordinary! I wonder which family's young master he is.
People around were whispering and guessing An Yi's identity.
Shen Muxuan looked at the dish, her eyes lighting up, and reached for her chopsticks.
An Yi stopped her and said coldly, "Don't eat it! It might be poisoned!"
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become.
