And so, Su Chen and his companion traveled for three days. In the afternoon, the setting sun gradually disappeared into the distance, and the surroundings grew dark.
The two entered an inn, which, strangely enough, was located in a deserted place.
As soon as Su Chen and his companion entered the inn, the waiter greeted them with a smile, "Greetings, gentlemen."
Su Chen ignored the waiter and found a stool to sit down.
Lin Fan looked at the waiter and said, "Okay, arrange two rooms, and bring out all your restaurant's signature dishes."
"Alright! Please wait a moment, sir."
The waiter nodded, then turned around, but in that instant, a strange smile appeared on his face.
"Please enjoy your meal, gentlemen."
Time flew by, and the waiter placed the last dish on the table and left.
At this moment, the table was already laden with various meat and vegetable dishes, each emitting an enticing aroma.
Don't eat meat.
Lin Fan was starving and was about to pick up a piece of lean meat when Su Chen stopped him.
Lin Fan was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Huh? Why?"
Su Chen poured himself a glass of wine, then smiled and said, "You can eat if you want, just don't regret it later."
Upon hearing this, Lin Fan silently put down his chopsticks. He had already guessed that there might be something wrong with the dishes, but he was puzzled because he hadn't noticed anything wrong with them.
Su Chen downed the wine in his glass in one gulp and slowly said, "The vegetables are fine, eat up."
"Good."
Half an hour later, all the vegetable dishes on the table were gone, except for the meat dishes which remained untouched.
The waiter also came out from the kitchen, glanced at the untouched meat dishes on the table, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, and said with a smile, "Are you two gentlemen dissatisfied with our meat dishes?"
Su Chen and the other person remained silent.
The waiter's smile gradually turned cold. "In that case, gentlemen, please settle your bill. It will be five million immortal crystals in total. Just a reminder, this establishment does not offer credit."
Lin Fan was immediately amused by this remark, "Are you a shady business?"
He wasn't surprised at all; Su Chen's earlier reminder had already given him the impression that this inn was definitely not ordinary.
The waiter calmly said, "Sir, please don't slander our inn. We've always operated with integrity for many years. How could we be considered a 'black shop'? So, sir, you're not going to pay the bill?"
Lin Fan laughed and said, "So what if it is?"
The waiter frowned, sizing up Su Chen and his companion. For some reason, he felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.
These two are in danger!
No!
He looked at Su Chen, his eyes slightly closed.
This person is in danger!
And it's extremely dangerous!
Looks like I've met my match.
Upon realizing this, the waiter's face immediately broke into a smile. "Gentlemen, it was just a misunderstanding. To express our apologies, we'll waive the cost of today's meal and room!"
Lin Fan raised an eyebrow.
Does this person change their expression so quickly?
He was all set to fight, but then he chickened out.
He shook his head and didn't say anything.
At this moment, Su Chen got up and went upstairs.
Seeing this, Lin Fan quickly followed.
Watching the two figures disappear, the shopkeeper's sense of crisis vanished, replaced by a serious expression. "Those two guys are really something else. It's a good thing I didn't attack them."
Second floor.
Lin Fan entered Su Chen's room, looked at Su Chen, and asked in confusion, "Master, why won't you let me eat meat?"
Su Chen smiled slightly, "That's human flesh."
What the heck?
Lin Fan's eyes widened. "But why can't I sense that it's human flesh?"
Su Chen said, "He used some special methods to mask the smell of human flesh, so naturally you couldn't detect it."
After listening, Lin Fan suddenly understood, "I see."
After a moment, he asked, "Aren't we going to kill him?"
Su Chen smiled faintly, "Why kill?"
Lin Fan said, "This is a black market inn! If we don't kill it, countless people will suffer in the future."
Su Chen laughed and said, "He didn't provoke us, so why should we kill him? Besides, what does it have to do with us who he kills afterward? There are countless people like him in this world; can we kill them all? Can we control them all?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Fan fell silent. After a long while, he said, "But... I feel this is wrong."
Su Chen laughed and said, "Then go and kill him. By the way, that person is Saint King Realm expert."
Lin Fan frowned deeply, " Saint King Realm cultivator doing this?"
Su Chen said, "If he didn't have some strength, would he dare to do this? In this cultivation Immortal Realm, killing and robbing is the simplest way to obtain Cultivation Resources, understand?"
After listening, Lin Fan fell silent again.
Indeed, it's far more worthwhile to kill and plunder than to toil away to acquire Cultivation Resources.
Sigh~
Lin Fan sighed inwardly, "Master, I'm going back to my room."
He really wanted to kill the waiter, but there was nothing he could do. The waiter was Saint King Realm, and without Su Chen's intervention, he couldn't possibly defeat him.
Early in the morning, Su Chen and Lin Fan went downstairs to have breakfast.
Breakfast was rather light: two bowls of porridge and two plates of pickled vegetables.
Lin Fan didn't touch his chopsticks, but just stared blankly at his bowl of porridge.
That night, he couldn't sleep. No matter how much he wanted to fall asleep, Su Chen's words from the previous night kept echoing in his mind, words that left him unable to find peace.
Su Chen drank the porridge in his bowl, completely ignoring Lin Fan's current state.
"I never expected there to be an inn in such a remote place." Just then, a clear, bell-like voice came from outside the inn.
The waiter looked towards the door, his eyes lighting up instantly, a fleeting glint of lewdness in them.
Outside the inn, a woman walked in. She was tall and slender with a willow-like waist, and her long, black hair flowed like a waterfall. She exuded a faint fragrance.
The waiter approached the woman and said with a smile, "Welcome to our inn. What would you like to order?"
The woman said, "Bring me all your restaurant's best dishes!"
"Okay!"
The waiter's lips curled into a smile as he turned and walked into the kitchen.
The woman looked around the inn, and then she noticed Su Chen, her face immediately lighting up with infatuation.
Holy crap!
So beautiful!
She sat down very close to Su Chen, then looked at Su Chen and smiled, "Hello, my name is Meng Yu, let's get to know each other?"
Su Chen looked at her and smiled, " Su Chen."
That smile stunned Meng Yu. After a long while, seemingly realizing her mistake, her face flushed red. To ease the awkwardness, she looked at Lin Fan again and said, "Hello."
Lin Fan looked at her and nodded. " Lin Fan."
Meng Yu nodded, glanced at the two bowls of porridge on the table, and said, "You're eating too meagerly. My dishes will be served soon, let's eat together?"
Su Chen shook his head. "No, we're already full."
Upon hearing this, Meng Yu said nothing more and returned to his seat. Soon, his table was filled with dishes.
Don't eat meat!
Just as she was about to start eating, Lin Fan spoke up to remind her.
Meng Yu raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why?"
Lin Fan shook his head and remained silent.
Upon seeing this, Meng Yu's face darkened.
You should at least say the whole thing. What's the point of only saying half?
In the end, she listened to Lin Fan and didn't eat any meat. After all, she had heard the saying, "He who listens to advice will eat his fill." Lin Fan wouldn't stop her from eating meat for no reason; there must be a reason.
