"Ha ha, get up." Qin Feng rose and helped Du Jie to his feet.
"Thank you, Master."
Du Jie's face was full of excitement. He had never expected his master to come eat at his restaurant. He had to put on a good showing and crush all the other competitors.
If the other undercover agents knew what he was thinking right now, they would surely be utterly baffled. Brothers were united with you, yet you were playing mind games with them?
"Who is this?"
Dugu Bo and Prince Xue Xing looked curious. Qin Feng had not mentioned knowing the owner of this restaurant before they came, and from the looks of it, they were in a superior-subordinate relationship.
"This is one of my subordinates."
Qin Feng awkwardly scratched his head. He had not known either. Who would have thought that he could run into one of his own people just by coming out for a meal?
"Oh, I understand. I understand."
The two of them said with smiles. This must have been how great lineages showed off. The bragging was so seamless that no trace of bragging could be seen. Impressive—truly impressive!
"No, what are you two talking about?"
Qin Feng's face was filled with confusion. He did not think he had said anything. Had they just imagined all of this on their own?
"Then I'll go prepare the food first."
Du Jie spoke respectfully. The big boss behind the scenes had come in person, so he had to make the kitchen prepare a full imperial feast.
"Go ahead. Come sit and eat with us later." Qin Feng waved his hand, then took a seat.
Knock, knock...
"Come in."
The door was pushed open. Du Jie entered first, followed by a long line of waiters carrying dishes.
"Whoa!"
Prince Xue Xing cried out in surprise. In the blink of an eye, the table had been covered in delicacies, and the dishes that would not fit had been taken away.
"You really do have influence."
Prince Xue Xing leaned close to Qin Feng and whispered. Even he had not received such treatment the last time he came here. Just look at the service and how quickly the dishes had arrived.
"Boss, all the dishes have been served."
Du Jie asked cautiously. Of course, he wanted to sit down and eat too, but without Qin Feng's order, he did not dare decide for himself.
"Fine, sit here and eat."
"Thank you, Master."
Joy was written all over Du Jie's face as he took a seat.
"Your restaurant seems to be doing quite well. Has no one from Spirit Hall caused you trouble?"
"People did cause trouble at first, but after a lord from Spirit Hall found out, he issued an order. From then on, no one dared cause trouble again."
Du Jie answered truthfully. When he had first opened the restaurant, competitors had obstructed him at every turn. Still, he had gritted his teeth and kept it going. Fortunately, an undercover colleague with high enough status had helped him out.
"Spirit Hall? A lord?"
Dugu Bo and Prince Xue Xing thought at the same time. What was this about now? How had Spirit Hall become involved again? Still, neither of them voiced their thoughts.
"Alright, let's eat."
Qin Feng nodded and began using his chopsticks. Seeing him start, the others followed suit. Bald Strong in particular moved so fast that his chopsticks left afterimages.
"I'm leaving, then." Qin Feng spoke to Du Jie at the entrance.
"Wait a moment."
Du Jie stopped Qin Feng, then hurried toward the counter.
"What is it?"
Qin Feng turned in confusion toward Du Jie, who was running to the counter.
"Here."
Du Jie ran back and handed Qin Feng a gilded token engraved with the words "Heaven Rank One."
"What is this?"
"This is the most prestigious token of our Star Moon Pavilion. With this token, you can receive everything for free at any Star Moon Pavilion branch."
"Oh."
Qin Feng took it and nodded. This undercover agent really knew how to handle things. When he had something to offer, he truly gave it.
After taking the token, Qin Feng bid Du Jie farewell and headed outside. Du Jie stood respectfully at the entrance and did not return to the restaurant until Qin Feng had gone far away.
"Who was that? He actually made the owner here treat him with such respect, and the owner even gave him a Heaven Rank One token."
A young man from a wealthy family whispered. Those who could afford to dine here were either rich or noble, but he had never seen anyone receive such respect from the owner.
"Shh! This isn't something we should discuss."
One of the older men sternly rebuked him. This place was protected by a Platinum Bishop of Spirit Hall. It was not something people like them could discuss.
"When does that invitation from Spirit Hall begin?"
Qin Feng wandered aimlessly through the streets. It was not that he had never considered going to Spirit Hall now, but with his current strength, he could not guarantee getting out without using Sun Wukong's hair. He could only wait and see when the invitation began.
"Tomorrow morning."
Prince Xue Xing glanced at the invitation. He was not in much of a hurry. Spirit Hall was hardly a good place.
"Then where are we going now?"
Seeing that it was still early, Qin Feng asked. He had never been to Spirit City before, so he certainly could not compare to the locals of this world.
"How about a brothel?" Dugu Bo suggested with a lewd grin.
"I think that works."
Upon hearing Dugu Bo's suggestion, Prince Xue Xing also revealed a lewd smile. He had wanted to say it himself just now, but his skin was not as thick as Dugu Bo's.
"Since that's the case, the minority should follow the majority."
Qin Feng coughed and spoke. He did not particularly want to go, but since they wanted to go so badly, he would reluctantly take a look.
"Heh heh... We understand. We understand."
The two of them spoke lewdly in unison. As expected of a young master from a great lineage—he could even phrase wanting to go so tactfully. If they could beat him, they would have exposed him long ago.
"Then are we going for refined entertainment or the other kind?"
"Do they have a place with both?"
"Yes."
Fragrant Delights House.
"Wow, there are so many beautiful women."
Standing at the entrance of Fragrant Delights House, Qin Feng looked at the beauties greeting guests outside and sighed. They were nothing like those heavily filtered internet beauties.
"Let's go in. What's there to stare at out here?"
Dugu Bo found Qin Feng's amazement rather amusing. This was nothing. These were the lowest tier; there were even prettier ones inside.
Qin Feng said nothing and followed them in. Once inside, he found it somewhat different from what he had imagined. He had thought there would be all sorts of people making a racket, but there was almost no noise at all.
Everyone sat quietly in their seats, watching the dancing.
"This is the refined side. The other kind is upstairs."
Dugu Bo explained softly, then led Qin Feng and the others to an empty table, where they quietly watched the beauty dancing onstage.
Only after the dance ended did everyone begin talking.
"Damn! That figure, those dance moves."
The dance had set Qin Feng's blood boiling. Right now, he truly wanted to fight three hundred rounds.
"Let's go."
Dugu Bo stood and headed toward the second floor. Prince Xue Xing followed without surprise, leaving only Qin Feng standing there in the breeze with a bewildered expression.
"Bring four."
After Qin Feng caught up, he found Dugu Bo ordering beauties like an old hand.
"Wait a second. Can we pick for ourselves?"
Qin Feng loudly stopped the madam who was about to leave, then hurried over. After all, this was his first time in his life—he had to choose carefully.
