Chapter 93 — Chapter 93 A Frenzied Crowd

"Are you okay, Brother Yuan? Are you feeling any pain?" Xiao Hua asked him after Feng Yuxiang entered his body.

Yuan patted his body and nodded a moment later, "Yes, everything’s fine. I am not hurt, nor does it feel unpleasant."

He then turned to look at Yu Rou and handed her all three Spirit Fruits and said, "Here’s the Spirit Fruits. You’ll need them to tame the beasts."

However, Yu Rou only accepted two of them and said, "You can keep the last one, brother. I just need an extra one for insurance."

Although Yuan didn’t really need the Spirit Fruit, he nodded regardless. If Yu Rou ever needed another one, he can offer it to her again at that time.

After putting away the Spirit Fruit, Yuan said, "Then let’s find you a Servant now."

However, Yu Rou shook her head and said, "No, it’s fine, brother. There are only a few hours left before I have to prepare for school again. I’d rather spend this time just enjoying the game casually with you."

"Hmm..." Yuan immediately began to ponder.

A moment later, he spoke with a bright expression on his face, "I know! Why don’t we go eat in some restaurant? I bet you still haven’t experienced the amazing food in this world!"

"Food, huh? I heard you can taste the food as though it was real," Yu Rou nodded with interest.

"That’s right. And they are incredibly tasty," Yuan said in an excited voice.

"Okay, let’s go." Yu Rou agreed a moment later.

They left the room shortly later and began walking downstairs. When they reached the fifth floor, they realized that all of the display cases were empty and the treasures had been taken out. However, that was expected, as Feng Yuxiang had closed this store down.

Once they reached the first floor, Yuan spoke out loud, "Feng Feng, what should we do about this place?"

A moment later, Feng Yuxiang’s voice resounded in his mind, almost like she was living inside his head, "You can just leave it as it is, Young Master. The next manager will take care of everything."

"I understand," Yuan nodded.

"Is she talking to you from inside? How come I can’t hear her voice?" Yu Rou asked him with a fascinated gaze.

"I am talking to the Young Master through Divine Sense," Feng Yuxiang’s voice suddenly resounded in Yu Rou’s head.

"Wow! How amazing! Talking to people directly in their minds... that’s just like telepathy!" Yu Rou exclaimed.

A few moments later, they stepped outside the store. However, to Yuan’s surprise, an entire crowd had gathered outside the store, feeling almost like there was a protest of some sort going on.

"W-What is going on here? Why are there so many people here?" Yuan was startled by the gathering that surrounded the entire front store, blocking his view.

Furthermore, all of these people had powerful auras or luxurious clothes around their bodies, indicating that they were all experts or from wealthy families.

"Who are you? Where is Madam Feng?"

The people outside immediately asked them after seeing them leave the store.

"Uhhh..."

Just as Yuan pondered how he should respond, Feng Yuxiang’s voice resounded in his head, "Young Master, just tell them that I am currently sleeping in my room and that I do not wish to be disturbed for the time being if they want me to reconsider my decision."

Yuan then repeated her words to the people outside despite not knowing the context, "Um... Madam Feng is currently sleeping in her room, but she doesn’t want to be bothered by anyone, or else she will not reconsider her decision."

The place instantly turned silent when they listened to Yuan’s words.

"Let’s calm down for now and let Madam Feng rest. I’m afraid that if we continue to linger outside her store, she’ll really leave the city..." One of them suddenly said.

"Yes, you’re right. The city will take a huge hit if Madam Feng or her store suddenly disappears. We cannot take this matter lightly."

"Well, what do you suggest we do then? We cannot just let her leave like this!"

"No idea, but do you think Madam Feng’s sudden decision was due to that powerful spiritual energy not long ago? She announced her leave shortly afterward, after all. I would not be surprised if she’d been forced to leave this city!"

"What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Madam Feng is the strongest individual in this city who has been around for over 1,000 years! Who could possibly threaten her, much less force her to leave?"

"Even if someone can threaten Madam Feng, what’s there to fear? The entire Golden Phoenix Bazaar has her back! If someone dares to mess with one of us, they’ll definitely regret it!"

"Do not underestimate whoever released that pressure! I was here when it happened, and it nearly gave me a heart attack! That individual is extremely strong— much stronger than Madam Feng and everyone here!"

"I believe that the individual who threatened Madam Feng to leave is a Cultivator at the Spirit King level."

"Spirit King? Why the hell would someone like that be here? Cultivators above the Spirit Grandmaster realm may stay in this world for at most 100 years after their breakthrough before they must leave this realm and ascend to a higher realm, or else they will risk being punished by the Heavens!"

"Unless you are telling me that this person had managed to reach the Spirit King realm in 100 short years after breaking through Spirit Grandmaster!"

"I am not lying to you! The pressure really felt that powerful!"

While the people gathered outside the store argued with each other, Yuan took this chance to slip away from the Golden Phoenix Bazaar with Yu Rou and Xiao Hua following behind.

"Man, that was chaotic. Just how popular are you, Feng Feng?" Yuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead after managing to escape from that frenzied crowd.

"I have been in this city ever since I came down here from the upper heavens, and due to my high cultivation, people quickly began looking up to me as some sort of guardian for the place." Feng Yuxiang explained to him. "My reputation eventually peaked, and I am somewhat revered by the people in that city."

After a moment of silence, she continued, "However, none of that matters now, as I have the Young Master. By the way, Young Master, I know you said that you don’t want my treasures, but if you ever change your mind, just let me know. Although the treasures are valuable, it’s nothing compared to the freedom you are giving me, Young Master."

"Un." Yuan nodded.

After leaving the Golden Phoenix Bazaar, Yuan asked Feng Yuxiang, "Do you know any good place to eat, Feng Feng? Since you’ve been here forever, you should know every building in this city, right?"

"I’m sorry, Young Master, but I rarely leave the Golden Phoenix Bazaar. However, there is this place that I have heard numerous times from others throughout the years— it’s a restaurant called Phoenix’s Nest."

"Phoenix’s Nest? People really like using the name Phoenix in this city, huh." Yu Rou said.

"Well, I kind of did save this city from a very powerful beast before when I still had some of my Phoenix powers left. The city used to be called something else before." Feng Yuxiang said.

"Oh? You saved an entire city? Then you’re just like my brother." Yu Rou smiled.

Sometime later, after asking around, Yuan and the others finally reached the restaurant named Phoenix’s Nest.

"How many will be dining today, esteemed guests?" The waiter by the door greeted them when they approached the restaurant’s entrance.

"Three," Yuan said.

"Three, right? Please follow me."

The waiter then brought them to a small table and said, "That is the menu. Just raise your hand when you’re ready to order and someone will be with you."

"Thank you," Yuan said as he grabbed the menu and began flipping through the pages.

"Just order whatever you want," Yuan said to Yu Rou.

However, Yu Rou sat there with a dazed expression on her face, seemingly in deep thoughts.

"What’s the matter, Yu Rou? Is something bothering you?" Yuan asked her after noticing her strange behavior.

Hearing his question, Yu Rou quickly snapped out of her daze and shook her head before speaking, "That’s no it, brother. It’s just that... I never thought the day would come where the two of us would be sitting in a restaurant and eating food like a normal family. Even though this is just a game, it feels too real to ignore."

"Yu Rou..." Yuan looked at her with a soft gaze, and he nodded, "You are right. While this world may not be real, our experience and feeling in this world certainly are, and I cannot wait to explore more of it with you."

"Me, too, brother!" Yu Rou nodded with a bright smile on her beautiful face.

Sometime later, Yuan raised his hands and someone approached them to take their order.

Yuan then proceeded to name dishes after dishes, dumbfounding both Yu Rou and the waiter.

"C-Can you even eat that much?" Yu Rou stared at him with a gawking expression. If Yuan could eat that much in the real world, she would definitely have trouble feeding him every day.

"Of course, or else I wouldn’t be ordering it!" Yuan replied to her with a confident expression on his face before he returned to order more dishes.
