Compared to Xihe City, the people of Heavenly Emperor City seem more confident, walking with their heads held high and chests out, as if they even want to appear more authoritative when they speak.

The Haotian Empire governs trillions of people on the Pan Emperor Continent. Heavenly Emperor City is the power center of the entire Pan Emperor Continent, and the people who can live here are basically not from simple backgrounds.

As a result, bureaucracy is rampant here, and everyone regards serving as an official in the imperial court as the greatest honor, while those who are unable to serve are despised and looked down upon by everyone.

Chen Mu and Hou Sailei met at a noodle stall with a distinct local flavor.

"Brother, what are you eating? Come with me, I'll take you to eat something good."

Hou Sailei was immediately displeased to see Chen Mu eating street food and tried to pull him away.

"Don't rush, I think this noodle dish is quite delicious. I'll finish it before I leave."

Having grown tired of all sorts of rare and precious ingredients, Chen Mu found the noodles here quite delicious and was reluctant to leave.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Chen Mu otherwise, Hou Sailei had no choice but to sit down beside him and wait for him to finish eating before leaving together.

"Now that we've arrived in Heavenly Emperor City, this is my territory. In a moment, I'll show you what real Central Province cuisine is all about."

Besides the delicious food, there are many other things here that you haven't tried before. I'll show you around later.

A smile spread across Hou Sailei, he even twitched one eyebrow, giving off a strangely lewd vibe.

"Alright! Since you've come all the way to Heavenly Emperor City, I'll go with you to take a look around."

Chen Mu Muben also wanted to experience the prosperity of the Central Land during this trip. Whether it was simple meals or extravagant entertainment, it was all a true reflection of this world, and it would also be a test for his cultivation.

Led by Hou Sailei, Chen Mu arrived in front of a magnificent and enormous palace.

Even before entering the palace, a faint mist emanated from within. The mist seemed to contain potent medicinal herbs that greatly nourished the body. Chen Mu took just one breath and felt a surge of energy.

The three large golden characters at the entrance of the Flower Moon Palace are very elegant, giving people the feeling that this is not an earthly building, but a celestial palace.

"Please come in, esteemed guests."

A clever servant boy emerged from the palace and Hou Sailei.

" Chen Mu, let's go inside!"

Hou Sailei was clearly not a first-timer; he pulled Chen Mu straight inside.

Upon entering the palace, melodious singing filled the air. The singing was light, graceful, and captivating, a rare treat for Chen Mu, a practitioner of asceticism.

"Gentlemen, would you like to go to the theater or a private room?"

At a fork in the corridor, the servant stopped and politely inquired of the two.

"Arrange a private room for me on the top floor, and then bring me one of all your signature dishes."

Remember, I only want the freshest ingredients of the day. If you dare to try to fool me with anything else, don't blame me for not giving face to your Flower Moon Palace.

Hou Sailei spoke, he casually tossed out a Spirit Stone, which was skillfully caught by the servant.

Upon receiving the Spirit Stone Spirit Stone, the servant immediately knew it was of high quality. He beamed with joy and eagerly led the two to a small teleportation array, using it to reach the top floor of the palace.

Chen Mu noticed that the teleportation array here had been modified. Although it could not teleport very far, it would not cause discomfort to the teleporter.

Indeed, when there is market demand, human creativity is boundless, and Central Province is not lacking in talented array masters.

Upon reaching the top floor, even Chen Mu was Xiaoxiao surprised, as the top floor was actually suspended in mid-air.

Numerous private rooms were supported by an array, surrounding a huge performance stage in the center, where a woman of exceptional talent and beauty was singing her heart out.

"Please wait a moment, gentlemen. Your arrival was quite sudden, so we need some time to prepare."

Generally speaking, the private rooms on the top floor of the Flower Moon Palace need to be booked in advance. However, Hou Sailei's wealthy and generous manner forced them to arrange a room for him on the spot. After all, for a service establishment like the Flower Moon Palace, it is impossible to refuse a guest's request.

"Hurry up! We don't have much patience."

Hou Sailei tossed two more Spirit Stone to the servant, who was greatly excited and immediately turned to make arrangements.

"With such a generous offer, it seems you've practically secured the position of president of the Eight Directions Chamber of Commerce, haven't you?"

Chen Mu sat down on the chair brought by the maid and asked casually.

"Haha, that's all thanks to your help."

Hou Sailei was in high spirits at this moment, which was completely different from how Chen Mu had seen him.

" Chen Mu, don't underestimate the Flower Moon Palace."

This is one of the most notorious money pits in Central Province. Even now, I wouldn't dare to spend money on the top floor so casually.

Hou Sailei's words greatly surprised Chen Mu. He knew that since the rise of Rune Technology in the Chen Kingdom, the performance of the Eight Directions Chamber of Commerce of Commerce had also been soaring, and it was already catching up with traditional top chambers of commerce such as Myriad Treasures Pavilion and Listening Wind Tower.

As the incoming president of the Eight Directions Chamber of Commerce, Hou Sailei said he dared not casually spend money here. How high must the prices be here?

"I haven't been in power in the association for very long, and my parents didn't accumulate much wealth. I'm already very lucky to have the position I have today."

Seemingly aware of Chen Mu Mu's doubts, Hou Sailei began to explain.

Even so, if a wealthy merchant of Hou Sailei's caliber feels burdened by the expense, then ordinary Sage would probably have to think twice before coming here to spend money.

"Esteemed guests, your private room is ready. Please check in."

Just then, the servant rushed back and placed a doorplate in Hou Sailei's hand as if presenting a treasure.

Hou Sailei activated the doorplate, a rainbow of light appeared in front of him, leading to a private room suspended in the air.

"Let's go."

As Chen Mu followed Hou Sailei into the rainbow light band, a gentle pulling force immediately appeared, drawing them both into the suspended private room.

Whoosh...

Upon entering the private room, two beautiful maids were already waiting, skillfully preparing tea for the two of them with graceful and elegant movements.

"You can go out now! Tell them to serve the food as soon as possible."

Chen Mu was not used to being waited on, so he called the maid out and then picked up his teacup to drink.

This is Jade Mountain Dragon Well. Although it cannot compare to the Dao Comprehension Tea, which is over a thousand years old, it still has the effect of nourishing the Divine Soul and assisting in advancement. It is already equivalent to a sixth or seventh grade spiritual medicine.

By distorting vision through a magical array, guests can see the performance stage outside from their private rooms without any obstruction, while those outside cannot see inside. This fully protects the privacy of the guests, demonstrating the meticulous service of the Flower Moon Palace.
