Peerless Genius System - Chapter 785. Drunken Immortal Inn

When they walked into a restaurant, they found it bustling with customers. There were almost no seats available on the first floor. Of course, the primary reason Xiao Luo chose this restaurant was because it was called the Drunken Immortal Inn. In the past, he often read martial arts novels and television dramas, and the Drunken Immortal Inn was the restaurant that appeared the most frequently. Hence, he had a favorable impression of this name.

“Hello, Sir, and Madam. Are you here to eat?” A waiter walked up and asked them courteously.

“Yes,” Ghost said excitedly.

“Please go upstairs. It was full only a moment ago, but it just so happens that a table upstairs is now available as the guests have finished eating.” The waiter smiled and led the way.

Xiao Luo and Ghost walked up to the second floor. They looked up and saw that it was indeed full. There was only a table beside a window that was being cleaned. After it was done, the waiter asked them to take their seats.

“What would you like to eat?” The waiter asked.

“We’ll eat the best dishes you have here,” Ghost said.

The waiter duly recited a list of items from their menu. “Young lady, our specialty dish is the Mini Mouth Fragrance, made from sheep fat, vermicelli, and needle mushroom. The dish has an unusual combination of tastes and textures and is a little spicy but delicious. There’s also Nourishing soup, Baked wild mushroom, Boiled Fish with pickled cabbage and chili, Braised Fish Head with tea fragrance, Braised Large Intestines, Sweet and sour pork, and many more. What do you want to order?”

Ghost drooled as she listened. “Are they all delicious?”

“Yes, of course!” the waiter said.

“Alright, we will take them all!” Ghost said.

“Do you intend to give me a portion?”

The waiter quipped as if to say, could just the two of you finish so many dishes?

“What’s wrong with it?” Ghost asked.

“Miss, the dishes we serve in our restaurant are large portions. To be honest, just ordering three dishes will be enough for you,” the waiter said candidly.

“I see, but I want to try it all.” Ghost looked disappointed.

Xiao Luo smiled and said to the waiter, “It’s fine. Just do as she says and serve all the specialties.”

“Well… Okay!”

As far as the waiter was concerned, since they were rich customers, why would he stop them from spending their money on his food?

“By the way, are there any duck dishes?” Xiao Luo asked, deliberately trying to rile up the Duck Emperor.

When Duck Emperor, still in Ghost’s pocket, heard that, his expression changed. He glared at Xiao Luo angrily.

The waiter immediately ran through a list of duck dishes. “The Griddle spicy duck heads is the signature dish of our restaurant—it is tender with a crispy crust. The duck’s head is spicy, delicious, and refreshing, and is a good meal. Besides the duck’s head, we also serve duck feet, duck wings, duck hearts, duck giblets, and other parts. They are all delicious delicacies.”

“Quack! Quack! Quack!”

Duck Emperor couldn’t hold it in any longer. He flew out of Ghost’s pocket and started flapping his wings at the waiter.

The waiter cried out in unbearable pain, and soon, his face was badly scratched and he fell to the ground.

Duck Emperor stood on the table and pointed toward the door with his wings. ” Quack (Scram)!”

The waiter looked at Xiao Luo for help. After all, it was the guest’s pet beast, so he did not dare to manhandle it.

“I’m sorry for hurting you. We won’t order duck dishes, thank you.” Xiao Luo raised his eyebrows and apologized.

“Oh, okay…”

The waiter ran away like he was fleeing from a calamity. He turned and looked back repeatedly at Duck Emperor with eyes full of fear.

After chasing the waiter away, Duck Emperor flew into a rage and scowled at Xiao Luo. “D*mned little brat! Did you do this on purpose? You even wanted to eat duck meat in front of me! You, you, you… you’ve gone too far!”

“Calm down. I forgot you were here.”

Xiao Luo calmly poured himself a cup of tea, then another cup for Ghost.

“It’s alright, Duckling. Senior Luoluo didn’t do it on purpose. Don’t take it to heart,” Ghost tried smoothing things over.

“Even if he didn’t say it on purpose, he still can’t eat any duck meat! Otherwise, I’m going to fight with him till the end,” Duck Emperor said, fuming visibly.

“Alright, alright, we won’t eat duck meat. For Duckling’s sake, we shall not eat any duck meat in the future.” Ghost did her best to comfort him.

Duck Emperor calmed down a little after hearing that, “You’re the best, Little Girl—unlike this completely ungrateful brat. After all, that Grandpa Duck here has done for him, he still wants to eat duck meat… He has hurt my feelings!”

“It’s okay, Duckling, don’t dwell on it, or it’ll just make things worse. Senior Luoluo was just joking around, that’s all,” Ghost said as if trying to calm a pet.

“Grandpa duck here is drawing the line from this point forward,” Duck Emperor said.

As Ghost was comforting Duck Emperor, a small group of customers walked into Zuixian. They turned out to be four students from Mu City Academy in their uniforms.

A waiter went up to welcome them, “Young masters, I’m sorry but our shop is already full. Do you think you could…”

Before he could even finish his sentence, the student leading the group cut in and scowled, “Are you blind? Can’t you see what uniform we’re wearing? You expect us to wait? You better watch yourself or I’ll tear Zuixian down!” He glared furiously at the waiter, and said, “Get lost, get your boss here to talk to me!”

He pushed the cowering waiter away.

Unable to resist the aggression, he fell right on his butt. The young waiter would hardly dare to even be rude to an ordinary customer, let alone a haughty official from the Mu Academy. He hurriedly went to look for his boss.

“Ignore him, juniors. Come, let’s head upstairs. This floor is too noisy and filled with people from a lower class. You guys have just been admitted into the academy, and I have to make sure I treat you guys well.” The student who was in the front was quite fat, and he had a chubby face.

“Then we’ll thank in advance, Senior Zheng,” said a female student with a bow.

“It’s nothing, it’s nothing… It’s the least I could do. Let’s go.”

The guy known as Senior Zheng led the way upstairs while the rest followed him, saying nothing.

At that moment, the boss of the restaurant walked over, led by the waiter. He was a middle-aged man and looked like a cultured and gentle person with a merchant’s demeanor.

“Honorable Young Masters. As you can see, our place is now filled with customers,” the boss said, bowing apologetically.

“Boss, it seems like you’re blind as well.”

The guy known as Senior Zheng smiled wickedly and said in a threatening tone. He looked at the second table and his eyes suddenly lit up. “Who says it’s full? Isn’t there an empty table there?”

He was looking at the table where Xiao Luo and Ghost were seated when he said it.

“That table looks pretty good. It’s next to the windows, so we can enjoy the beautiful scenery outside from there.”

“That’s right. With the gentle breeze, it must be enjoyable to have our meal there.”

“Senior Zheng, let’s have our meal at that table.”

The rest agreed with him as well. They determined Xiao Luo and Ghost’s cultivation level first—a Martial Master and an ordinary person—there was no way they would be afraid of those two. After all, they were students from the Mu City Academy.

The guy known as Senior Zheng kicked the table and looked at Xiao Luo and Ghost. “What are you looking at? Don’t you know your place? Get lost, don’t spoil my appetite!”

“Why should we? All I know is that we sat here first,” Ghost retorted, standing up and glaring with her apricot eyes.
