Not Tasty, Not Tasty, None of These Are Tasty

Mu Qianxue pondered slightly.

"Also, do you know how many humans there are? Several billion. Even if each of those several billion people ate only one grain of rice a day, how much food would that consume in a single day? Not to mention meat. It isn't as simple as you think."

Ye Tianyi shook his head and continued.

"I understand. Thank you for letting me learn about these things."

Mu Qianxue nodded gently, then asked, "What do you want?"

Ye Tianyi thought for a moment and asked, "Do you have any more powerful Martial Techniques? Martial Techniques are still rather valuable here, but their grade has to be high. I think a Martial Technique should be about enough in exchange for taking you out to eat."

"What attribute do you want?"

"Fire. Do you have one?"

Mu Qianxue shook her head.

"Then wind?"

She shook her head again.

"Only ice."

"Ice works too!"

Ye Tianyi's eyes lit up.

A martial artist could only learn and unleash Martial Techniques matching their attributes. Ye Tianyi currently had Dual Fire and Wind Attributes, and because of what had happened with Shi Jiayi last time, his Ice Attribute would gradually awaken as well, so he could use it.

Mu Qianxue then extended her slender jade fingers and pressed them against Ye Tianyi's forehead. A surge of power poured into his body, and his head throbbed with intense pain.

"Do not resist."

Mu Qianxue spoke softly.

Then Ye Tianyi felt a stream of memories flood into his mind. Mu Qianxue had directly imparted them into him.

Absolute Zero?

"This is one of my Martial Techniques. Its grade should be God Realm. Is that enough?"

Ye Tianyi: "..."

A single meal in exchange for a God Realm Martial Skill. Holy shit!

"Enough... more than enough."

Ye Tianyi nodded blankly.

"But your realm is too weak. You must at least reach the Spirit Refining Realm before you have even a sliver of qualification to unleash this Martial Technique. Otherwise, you will be courting death."

A God Realm Martial Skill! Even if Ye Tianyi learned it, he did not have enough spiritual power to unleash it, because the Martial Technique's grade was simply too high! But just how powerful was a God Realm Martial Skill...? Ye Tianyi had no idea. In an empire like the Heavenly Water Empire, how many people could possess a God Realm Martial Skill? At least, as far as Ye Tianyi remembered, the Ye Family did not even have a Heaven Rank Martial Skill! Their highest was merely Earth Rank! And the Ye Family had once been one of the Four Great Families!

"It's powerful, right?"

Ye Tianyi asked.

"That depends on your realm. If you successfully unleash it at Spirit Refining Realm Stage Five, killing a Profound Heaven Realm Stage Five opponent instantly would not be a problem."

Ye Tianyi: "..."

Holy fuck? This was a God Realm Martial Skill?

"But the premise is that you can unleash it. And if your realm is low, once you use it, you will basically have no strength left to fight back."

"I know that." Ye Tianyi nodded.

"Let's go. I'll take you to eat something tasty."

Ye Tianyi walked forward, revealing a smile that looked carefully edited into place.

Awesome! He had made a killing!

Ye Tianyi calculated that he still had thirty-five thousand yuan on him. Sometimes a grand meal could cost hundreds of thousands, so he absolutely could not go somewhere like a Five-Star Hotel. Later, he would have to rent her a place and give her some money to buy things and live on. Otherwise, she would have no money, and that would not do. Could he let her trade her treasures? Ye Tianyi would not bear to do that. Everything she had was his! So although he had said he would treat her to a grand meal, it was best if this meal did not exceed two thousand yuan...

Trading a God Realm Martial Skill for a meal that cost no more than two thousand yuan—Ye Tianyi figured that if she found out later, she would probably kill him. Of course, if they got along well by then, it would be fine!

As for whether she would discover it, that could wait until later. He would give her money to spend herself. Anyway, she had no concept of how much ten yuan, one thousand yuan, or ten thousand yuan was. Ye Tianyi just had to tell her it was a whole, whole lot.

Ye Tianyi brought Mu Qianxue to a hotel. Honestly, he was already giving enough face by bringing her to a three-star hotel. As long as they did not order anything absurdly expensive, even a meal for two at a three-star hotel would only cost around one thousand yuan.

And it looked quite luxurious. At least in Mu Qianxue's eyes, this place was clean, beautiful, and rather nice. He probably had not lied to her.

"Welcome."

The pretty receptionist said with a smile.

When her gaze fell upon Mu Qianxue, she froze completely.

What a beautiful older sister. What incredible temperament.

"Two people. Please give us a private room."

Ye Tianyi said.

"I'm sorry, sir, we're full. There are no Private Rooms—"

"Hey, hey, hey..."

Just as the receptionist was about to finish speaking, a pot-bellied man hurried over.

"We're not full, not full. A group of guests just left, so there's one private room available. Please, the two of you, come with me." The lobby manager said with a face full of smiles.

Private rooms were very valuable. Many people disliked the noise while eating, so they would reserve one in advance. There was only one left, and he had just instructed everyone to say there were none available no matter who came, because that final private room might need to be saved for a big shot. But the moment he saw Mu Qianxue, could a beauty with such temperament possibly be ordinary? She was clearly a big shot! Naturally, he had to let them have the private room. This meal would probably cost hundreds of thousands. He was going to make a fortune!

The two entered a beautiful private room. Mu Qianxue glanced around, her eyes full of novelty. It truly did seem like quite a nice place. It was only natural that the food would be precious as well.

The main thing was that she did not understand! So Ye Tianyi had her wrapped around his finger. The crucial part was that this bastard Ye Tianyi was clever. If he had been stingier and brought Mu Qianxue to a noodle shop, she would have seen at a glance that Ye Tianyi was definitely deceiving her.

"Here is the menu, you two."

The lobby manager handed the menu to Mu Qianxue. Ye Tianyi leaned close beside her and stared intently. He absolutely could not let her order anything expensive.

Fuck! One plate of hot and sour shredded potatoes was seventy-five yuan! At a small restaurant, ten yuan would do! It was fucking expensive!

"One serving of these hot and sour shredded potatoes."

Ye Tianyi pointed and said.

"Certainly."

The lobby manager thought it was perfectly normal to order a couple of small dishes.

"One braised pork," Ye Tianyi said.

"Certainly!"

"And this, this, and this."

Ye Tianyi ordered quite a few ordinary homestyle dishes. Several were meat dishes, but altogether they only cost a few hundred yuan.

"This one looks delicious."

Mu Qianxue pointed at a beautiful dish on the menu: golden caviar.

Ye Tianyi: "..."

"Miss has good taste. This is cavi—"

Before the lobby manager could finish, Ye Tianyi hurriedly said, "It isn't tasty, trust me. Let's have an order of kung pao chicken instead."

Damn it! Ye Tianyi had looked at the price of that caviar. Three thousand yuan per spoonful... Who the hell could withstand that?

The lobby manager's mouth twitched.

"What about this?"

Mu Qianxue pointed at the foie gras.

It looked beautiful. Everything she chose looked beautiful, because she did not know what any of it was and simply thought it looked delicious. But they were all terribly expensive, costing several thousand yuan per serving.

"Not tasty, not tasty. That's all fatty liver. Um, get us an order of steamed pork with rice flour." Ye Tianyi hurriedly said.

Lobby manager: "..."
