Ding-a-ling—

A crisp bell chime rang out.

Demon Bear Douluo followed Ghost Douluo into the shop, his first glance landing on the young man lazily reclining in a rocking chair.

He looked to be in his early twenties, appearing entirely ordinary.

This... is the mysterious Senior that Old Ghost spoke of?

Demon Bear Douluo felt a surge of doubt, subconsciously attempting to probe the youth with his soul power.

The result—

He could sense absolutely nothing!

It was as if he were looking at an ordinary person!

Yet, the more this was the case, the more shocked Demon Bear Douluo became.

What level of powerhouse must one be to remain unfathomable even to a level 94 Title Douluo like himself?

Level 98?

Or perhaps level 99?

Demon Bear Douluo instantly cast aside his inner contempt.

He stole a glance at Ghost Douluo beside him, only to find his companion looking at the young man in the rocking chair with an expression bordering on religious devotion.

That look...

It was as if he were gazing upon a god!

"Senior, I have returned."

Ghost Douluo's voice carried a clear sense of reverence.

"This is Demon Bear Douluo, my old brother."

"I told him about the wonders of your establishment, and he wished to come and experience them for himself."

At that moment, Demon Bear Douluo was completely convinced.

The seemingly ordinary young man before him was undoubtedly a supreme expert!

"Greetings, Senior!"

He didn't hesitate to drop to one knee, speaking up before Ghost Douluo could.

"Junior is Demon Bear Douluo, an elder of Spirit Hall, a level 94 assault-type Title Douluo!"

"I have long heard of your great name, Senior; to meet you today is truly the honor of a lifetime!"

Ghost Douluo was stunned.

You thick-browed, big-eyed fellow, you're actually better at bootlicking than I am?

No, that's not right—this is respect! Respect for Senior Lin!

Lin Feng cast a lazy glance at the kneeling Demon Bear Douluo, inwardly grumbling.

What the hell? Why is this guy kneeling the moment he walks in?

I haven't even started acting cool yet, and you're already playing along?

Are the leeks these days really this self-aware?

However, on the surface, Lin Feng remained as calm as a light breeze.

"Get up."

His tone was as flat as water, yet to Demon Bear Douluo, it carried an unquestionable majesty.

"This is a restaurant, not some sect."

"If you want to eat, order a dish; if you want to draw a prize, spend your money."

"There is no need for such tedious formalities."

Hearing this, Demon Bear Douluo first looked toward Ghost Douluo.

Those eyes, usually so fierce, now held a hint of cautious inquiry.

Only after receiving a nod of confirmation from his companion did Demon Bear Douluo feel slightly at ease.

He rose slowly, his movements far gentler than usual.

He was terrified of making even the slightest sound that might disturb this mysterious Senior.

Demon Bear Douluo carefully walked to a seat and sat down respectfully.

His typically rugged face was now etched with extreme caution.

However, the moment he reached out to open the menu, he froze.

These prices... are a bit steep, aren't they?

A single dish costs tens of thousands of Gold Soul Coins just like that?

He instinctively rubbed his eyes, thinking he had misread the menu.

Yet, the reality was laid out right before him.

Even the cheapest item was eight thousand Gold Soul Coins!

"Old Ghost..."

Demon Bear Douluo's voice was trembling as he stole a glance at Ghost Douluo beside him.

"Is there a mistake with these prices?"

Seeing the look of shock on the other man's face, a sense of superiority welled up in Ghost Douluo's heart.

Back when he first saw this menu, he had the exact same reaction.

"Old Bear, your vision is too narrow," Ghost Douluo said in a low, earnest voice.

"This is a restaurant where you can draw a soul bone!"

"An eighty-thousand-year soul bone!"

He patted his Storage Soul Tool, a triumphant glint flashing in his eyes.

"How much do you think an eighty-thousand-year soul bone is worth?"

Boom!

These words hit like a bucket of cold water, instantly bringing Demon Bear Douluo to his senses.

That's right!

This wasn't just any ordinary restaurant!

This was a magical place where one could draw an eighty-thousand-year soul bone!

An eighty-thousand-year soul bone was a peerless treasure, one that you couldn't find more than a few of in the entire continent!

Forget tens of thousands of Gold Soul Coins; even for hundreds of thousands or millions, countless Title Douluo would fight tooth and nail for it!

Thinking of it this way, the prices before him were practically dirt cheap!

Demon Bear Douluo's expression changed in an instant.

His shock had transformed into fanaticism!

"Old Ghost, you're right!"

He rubbed his hands together in excitement, his rugged face filled with fervor.

"How is this expensive? This is practically a steal!"

"Quick! Quickly recommend a few dishes to me!"

Ghost Douluo nodded in satisfaction, feeling smug.

See? This was the benefit of having experience.

He reached out and pointed to a section on the menu.

"Old Bear, given your appetite, I suggest ordering these dishes..."

Of course, while Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo were busy frantically recruiting new customers for Maple Dye Pavilion, the three members of the Golden Generation were not idle either.

They had arrived at the residence of Holy Dragon Douluo Tuoba Xi.

The three of them knew full well that their words carried little weight.

If they simply blurted out the wonders of Maple Dye Pavilion, they would surely face the same disbelief as Chrysanthemum Douluo.

Therefore, the three decided to change their strategy.

"The three of you want to introduce me to a restaurant and treat me to a meal?"

Tuoba Xi looked at Hu Liena and the others, whose eyes were filled with sincerity, and couldn't help but chuckle.

These three little ones were the type who never visited without a reason.

His weathered face was filled with kindness.

"Yes, yes! The food at that restaurant is so fragrant!"

Hu Liena's eyes lit up, and she gestured with her small hands unconsciously.

"Grandpa Tuoba, you will definitely fall in love with it once you go!"

As she spoke, Hu Liena thought of the food at Maple Dye Pavilion and almost instinctively swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Yan was even more exaggerated, wiping the corner of his mouth with a look of endless longing.

"Elder Tuoba, the food there is truly delicious!"

"In all my years, I have never tasted anything so fragrant!"

Xie Yue nodded in agreement from the side.

"That's right, the chef at that restaurant has incredible skills!"

"I felt so much more energized after eating there!"

Seeing the three of them acting like such gluttons, Tuoba Xi's heart softened.

As a newly titled Titled Douluo, Tuoba Xi could be considered one of the few genuinely kind-hearted men among the Elder Council.

He treated his companions with great warmth, let alone these three outstanding juniors.

Seeing the three little ones acting like hungry ghosts, he guessed that these children were likely just craving a good meal.

They probably wanted to feast but were short on funds, so they used the excuse of recommending a restaurant to get him to treat them, right?

Oh well, it wouldn't hurt to skip training for the day.

He would just take the children out to satisfy their cravings.

"Since you all recommend it so highly, I'll accompany you to check it out."

Tuoba Xi gently patted Hu Liena's head.

"But it's settled: Grandpa Tuoba is paying today."

"You three little rascals, don't you dare be polite with me!"

Hu Liena and the others exchanged glances, a hint of triumph flashing in their eyes.

The plan was a success!

"That's wonderful! Grandpa Tuoba, you definitely won't be disappointed!"

Xie Yue was also full of anticipation.

"Once you taste the food there, you'll know we weren't exaggerating!"

The four of them walked toward Maple Dye Pavilion, chatting and laughing all the way.

Tuoba Xi had no idea that he was about to experience a shock that would completely shatter his worldview.
