Fu Ye and A Yin are such a perfect couple that others are truly envious and jealous. After all, they're not only good-looking, but they also publicly display their affection!
A certain business-minded kid was carrying a dozen bags of cement and had set them up on the roadside, with a sign in front of him saying 250 yuan a bag.
Fu Ye, having eaten and drunk his fill, sat in his seat, watching the passersby downstairs with a contented expression, while A Yin was still slowly savoring the red jade shrimp in her hand.
"Pop."
A crisp sound came from A Yin's lower abdomen. Fu Ye turned to look at her and found that this little girl had actually broken through while eating, and was now a level 66 Soul Emperor.
Her little face was red, and although she knew that the food in front of her contained a lot of energy, unfortunately, she couldn't eat anymore.
Looking at A Yin's conflicted little expression of wanting to eat but not being able to, Fu Ye just felt that she was too cute.
"Alright, if you can't finish it, put it away and eat it tomorrow. Even if it's good food, eating too much at once will ruin your health."
Fu Ye waved his hand, and the remaining food was stored in the system's storage space. The half-eaten red jade shrimp in A Yin's hand was taken by Fu Ye right in front of her and eaten without any hesitation.
"My shrimp!" A Yin looked on with a wronged expression, but when she came to her senses, she found that her shrimp had been eaten by this bad guy, Fu Ye.
"Be good, listen to me, eating too much of this kind of highly nutritious food is also bad for your health."
Although the physique of a transformed soul beast is strong, it is still a human body. If it continues to overeat like a soul beast, its body absolutely cannot withstand it.
"Okay."
Feeling the surging energy within her, A Yin felt that going out with Fu Ye was a very correct decision.
Fu Ye, at this moment, covered Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, the brothers from the Haotian Sect, with his spiritual power, wanting to see what kind of tricks they would pull.
Sure enough, the sound of bowls and chopsticks shattering on the ground soon came from downstairs.
"Bang! Bang!"
"Is this food fit for human consumption?! How dare you sell such awful stuff?!"
A rough shout came from the first floor, but Fu Ye looked at Tang Hao downstairs as if he were watching a clown. So what if a bowl was broken and chopsticks were thrown? As long as the other party could pay, everything would be fine.
"Sir, I'm sorry, the taste of our food didn't suit your palate, but I see you've finished your meal, so shouldn't you settle the bill?"
The waitress remained calm. She had encountered many customers like this before. Those who refused to pay and caused trouble at Juxiang Pavilion were considered unregistered and were not allowed to patronize the restaurant again.
As for a customer causing trouble? That was even more impossible. Juxiang Pavilion was located near the Heavenly Dou Imperial City. To start a fight on the outskirts of the imperial city? That would indeed be a bit too much.
Tang Hao's commotion attracted the attention of many diners. Fu Ye, like an outsider, leaned against the window, watching the Tang brothers like they were clowns.
"Fu Ye, what are they doing? Smashing bowls after finishing their food, how rude!"
Ah Yin looked at the two below, her icy blue eyes full of disdain.
"Just two clowns. They should avoid contact with these kinds of scoundrels in the future."
"Mhm!"
Fu Ye and A Yin's conversation wasn't kept secret; anyone with a bit of cultivation could hear it, including the Tang brothers, Hao and Xiao.
"Sister Lan, you can go about your business. We won't charge those two. It's only a hundred gold soul coins; our Juxiang Pavilion can afford to lose that much. However, we'll be adding the Haotian Sect to our blacklist from now on."
The waitress downstairs, Xiao Lan, was a senior employee like Xiao Li, usually handling any issues in the front of house.
"Yes, boss!"
Hearing Fu Ye's words, Xiao Lan politely nodded and smiled at Tang Hao and Xiao, then ignored them completely.
However, at that moment, someone exclaimed in surprise.
"Haotian Sect? I remember! They seem to be those two geniuses from Haotian Sect!"
"No wonder they looked familiar; they're the Tang brothers, Hao and Xiao!"
But the legendary Haotian Sect's two prodigies seem to be nothing special; at least their character is questionable."
Amidst the barrage of criticism, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao's faces turned pale and then red.
Fu Ye simply watched Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, who stood awkwardly on the first floor. He didn't care much; these two Soul Douluos were practically ants in his eyes now.
"Hmph! It's just a hundred gold soul coins? I can afford it!"
As the saying goes, passive-aggressive behavior and public opinion are the heaviest blows to a man. Tang Hao and Tang Xiao originally wanted to provoke trouble first, but after all that, Fu Ye simply said, "I won't charge you, you can leave. However, I won't entertain you anymore, including your sect."
These words made them feel like they had punched cotton, and Tang Hao and Tang Xiao certainly understood what he meant.
Tang Hao said this and was about to pay, but Fu Ye seemed to think, "You only realize your mistake now? Sorry, too late!
" "I'm sorry, sir, your meal has been waived, so there's no need to pay anything."
Xiao Lan was currently taking notes for other guests when Tang Hao, this burly man, simply took out a bag of money and handed it to her.
She had basic professional ethics, especially since the boss had personally said it was free.
Of course, they were already on the blacklist, and in the future, anyone from the Haotian Sect would be refused service. Tang Hao and Tang Xiao's names would be posted on the innermost wall of the second floor, just like everyone else's.
"What does your Juxiang Pavilion mean? You won't even accept money from us!"
Tang Hao finally found an outlet for his anger. He had only intended to teach that boy on the second floor a lesson, to show that girl what real manhood was.
Now, he was seen as a shameless person who wouldn't pay for his meal! And he was even blacklisted!
Xiao Lan remained calm upon hearing Tang Hao's booming voice. After all, she was a high-level Soul Master; without this composure, she wouldn't be fit to be the head of the front hall at Juxiang Pavilion.
"I'm sorry, sir, but our Juxiang Pavilion is just a small business and can't withstand the bullying from powerful figures like you. If you don't like our food, we can offer you a free meal, but please don't come back to make things difficult for us. After all, you were the first to say the food was bad, and you were the one who didn't want to pay. Now you insist on paying, which puts us ordinary folks in a very difficult position."
