Ye Xiao was very hungry and right now he just wanted to eat something.
Therefore, when his turn entered the city, he immediately rushed through the huge gate to enter the city.
“Stop there!”
As he passed through the city gate, he heard a cold voice coming from his left side.
He stopped and turned to the left and saw that there were two guards staring at him with cold expressions on their faces.
“1000 Gold Coin.” Said one of the city guards.
“What?” Ye Xiao still did not understand what was going on. He turned around and saw that everyone present was also looking at him with a strange look.
“If you want to get into Southwood City, you have to pay 1000 Gold Coins. Don't you know the rules of our city. Fast and pay if you want to log in if not get lost.” The guard sneered at him.
Ye Xiao was stunned for a moment. He didn't want to make any disturbance here so he said, “This is my first time here so I don't know about the rules. Here, accept.”
After saying this, Ye Xiao took out 100 low-grade spirit stones and gave them to the two guards.
“Spirit Stone!”
Not only the guards, but everyone present who knew about the spirit stones, exclaimed loudly in shock.
One of the guards hurriedly took out those 100 low-grade spirit stones with a smile and said, “Haha, you can leave now.”
Ye Xiao nodded his head but instead of going inside the city he asked, “Brother, do you know of any inn or restaurant where I can eat and relieve my hunger.”
Everyone present began to look at him with a strange mist.
The guard who took the spirit stone from him was silent after a while and said, “If you want to eat something good then you can go to Phoenix Restaurant because this place is where you can eat the best.”
“Thank you brother.” After Ye Xiao thanked the guard, he turned around, intending to leave but just as he wanted to leave, he heard the same voice again.
“Stop!”
“Is there something you need?”
Ye Xiao stopped and furrowed his brows. He turned back and looked at the guard's eyes and asked.
The guard felt a chill running down his back as Ye Xiao looked into his eyes. Sweat appeared on his forehead.
After a while, the guard calmed himself down and smiled at Ye Xiao, “There is nothing I need. The price is very high at the restaurant. But if you want a discount, I can help you with him.”
When Ye Xiao heard this, he immediately understood that this guard wanted to profit from him.
And that's the problem. When the guards saw Ye Xiao take out 100 low-grade spirit stones to pay his way into the city without betting, he became greedy. He thought that Ye Xiao would definitely have more spirit stones on him.
Thinking of this, greed appeared in the guard's heart. When Ye Xiao asked a place where he could eat something, he immediately thought of an idea. He wanted to use Ye Xiao to his own advantage.
But to his disappointment, Ye Xiao rejected him.
“Price is not a problem for me.”
After saying this sentence, Ye Xiao turned around and left the place.
The two guard eyes immediately sparkled when they heard Ye Xiao say, Price is not a problem. In their eyes, their guess was correct. Ye Xiao indeed had more money for him.
They both looked at each other. As if they understood, what the other guards wanted to say, both nodded their heads and one of them immediately walked away from them.
The few people who were in front and saw everything that was happening here, they understood that Ye Xiao was in trouble. They shook their heads in pity and started doing what they did before.
Ye Xiao was not their relatives and they did not know who Ye Xiao was. So they could only pity Ye Xiao's fate.
…..
It was a three-triangle building with three floors.
The gate is three meters long and about two meters wide. On top of the gate were two characters shining with red lights.
The second word was: Phoenix Restaurant.
two guards also stood in front of the gate of this restaurant. But unlike the guards at the city gates, these two guards were here to greet their customers.
“Welcome to Restaurant Phoenix.”
When Ye Xiao was about to enter the restaurant, the two guards lowered their heads and greeted him.
Ye Xiao smiled and nodded his head.
One of the two guards said, “Esteemed customers, you can only eat on the first floor if your strength does not reach the Martial King Realm. Only Martial King Realm or martial artists on it are allowed to go to the second floor.”
Ye Xiao was surprised when he heard this because he did not think that there was a condition even to eat on a different floor.
He simply nodded his head and asked, “What about the third floor?”
“Three floors only serve special guests such as city lords or patriarchs of large families. This is not for ordinary people and local people.” One of the guards replied politely.
Ye Xiao did not say anything this time. He was already so hungry that without wasting any more time, he simply nodded his head while smiling towards the guard and walked in.
Right now, he just wanted to eat. So, he found an empty table and sat there. Moments later, an officer came and gave him a restaurant menu.
Ye Xiao had no intention to take the menu from the attendant. He just said, “Give me the best you serve here and a bottle of wine.”
The attendant looked at Ye Xiao's face curiously. Without saying a word, he nodded his head and went to bring food for Ye Xiao.
After the time it took to burn the incense, the attendant returned with Ye Xiao's food and a bottle of wine.
“This is the best we serve on the first floor and a bottle of regular wine.” The officer said respectfully and turned to leave.
“Wait!”
Ye Xiao stopped the attendant and said, “What do you mean by an ordinary bottle of wine. If there is a better wine here, bring that wine for me.”
“Pak, there is indeed a better wine here but it is only for second floor customers. First floor customers can only enjoy regular wine.” The officer smiled and answered him respectfully.
“Oh! And to enter the second floor, I must have the least strength of the Martial King Realm, right.” Ye Xiao understood what the officer said.
“Ya pack.”
“If I am not a Martial King Realm expert and want to go to the second floor to eat, is there any way?” Ye Xiao asked again as he devoured his food. He's already very hungry. When the food is served, he can no longer control himself and starts eating.
The attendant looked at him with a strange look as Ye Xiao was eating and talking. Seeing Ye Xiao like this, he even forgot to answer Ye Xiao's question.
When Ye Xiao did not hear any answer, he raised his head and saw a strange look in the officer's eyes. He immediately understood what was going on and felt a little embarrassed.
“Uhuk uhuk!”
Ye Xiao coughed twice in embarrassment and the attendant also returned to normal. The attendant smiled back and said, “If you want to go to the second floor, there is indeed another way.”
“You can come with a Martial King Realm martial artist. If a Martial King Realm martial artist is going to come with you, you will be allowed to go to the second floor with him. If not, then just by getting special permission from the owner of Phoenix Restaurant or our manager, can you go to the second floor to enjoy delicious food.”
Ye Xiao only nodded after hearing the reply from the officer. He then flicked his finger and a low-tier spirit stone flew towards the attendant.
The officer saw a light flashing towards him. He subconsciously extended his hand and caught the light. When he opened his hand, he saw a light blue colored crystal shining on his palm.
“Spirit Stone!”
The attendant took a deep breath and then looked at Ye Xiao with an adoring gaze.
