Behemoth looked rather surprised when Han Shuo agreed so readily. Prices at the Divine Fortune Tavern in Veilshade City were extremely high; a single dish or bottle of wine cost over a hundred Black Crystal Coins. Even members of some minor families could not afford such spending. Seeing Han Shuo agree so readily actually made Behemoth hesitate.
"Why don't we go somewhere else? I wouldn't want you to be unable to afford it!" Behemoth said after some thought, unsure of Han Shuo's means.
"The Divine Fortune Tavern it is. I've heard the food and wine there are excellent." Noticing Behemoth's hesitation, Han Shuo smiled.
"Behemoth, you don't need to worry about him. He can afford it!" Charlotte knew of Han Shuo's rise in Shadow City through the Celestial Pivot Pharmacy and knew there would be no problem. She gave a radiant smile.
"Let's go. My treat." Han Shuo glanced back at Lolth, signaling her to follow.
Lolth remained silent. Standing beside Han Shuo like an outsider, she showed no interest in either Charlotte or Behemoth. Her eyelids slightly lowered, she followed without a word.
With Charlotte and Behemoth leading the way, the four arrived at the Divine Fortune Tavern in Veilshade City. Behemoth and Charlotte knew the place well and easily found an elegant spot where they could look down at the endless stream of people below and several colorful Energy Towers nearby.
A neatly dressed waitress approached politely and asked in a gentle voice, "What would you like to eat and drink?"
Han Shuo was not particular about his living standards. Having reached his current level in the Demonic Cultivation Art, he had little dependence on food. Smiling, he pointed at Behemoth and said, "Ask her!"
"You really do seem to be doing well for yourself!" Behemoth chuckled and
