"Guests who have come from afar, come in and have a rest!"
When the shop owner saw Ding Fan and his entourage, he was all smiles and greeted them warmly.
Ding Fan turned around and asked with a smile: "Master, would you like to have a banquet in the spirit world?"
Taoist Shenxuan chuckled and nodded slightly: "I'm really looking forward to it."
It was finally opened, and the store owner was so happy that he almost flew into the sky. He hurriedly invited everyone in, and personally controlled the flying magic weapon to transport the group to the most luxurious room on the top floor.
Remember, the most expensive set meal here costs one hundred spiritual stones, which is staggeringly expensive.
But since he didn't spend any spiritual stones to enter the city, and it was the first time for the master to come, Ding Fan said generously, "Let's just have the restaurant's signature set menu."
"Yo!" The store owner patted his thigh and gave a thumbs up and praised: "Your guest is so discerning. We have just received a batch of new goods. I promise you will not be disappointed!"
There were not many customers in the restaurant, and the food was served quickly. Needless to say, there were all kinds of spiritual fruits and nectar. Placed in the middle was actually a miniature spiritual vein, exuding a dense atmosphere, like a dream, and made Taoist Shenxuan's heart beat.
.
"In my memory, I have never had such a banquet in the spiritual world." Taoist Shenxuan sighed, and then asked the shop owner who was waiting next to him: "This meal must be very expensive."
"Hey, we are the largest restaurant in Starlight City, and the prices are certainly not low. However, I can give you a discount, twenty spirit stones are enough!" The shop owner raised three fingers with a smile on his face.
Ding Fan and others were stunned. The store owner's face turned cold and he hurriedly explained: "The inventory has almost been emptied. It is not easy to restock. I can send two more bottles of Lingguo wine."
The world has changed!
Although Ding Fan and others are from the human world, they are more generous than people from the spirit world. Twenty spirit stones are really not expensive.
Ding Fan smiled and asked: "Is the boss the new owner of this restaurant?"
"Yes, I originally opened a drug store in Sunlight City, and the business was doing well. Then something happened in Starlight City, and Kuixing Restaurant was resold, so I bought it for cheap. Alas..."
The shop owner looked bitter and said helplessly: "As a result, there are no customers to dine, and we can't even afford to hire anyone."
"Every room here has a light mask." Ding Fan added.
"Yes, the mask needs spiritual stones to maintain energy. How can I have so much money? Hey, since there are no other customers in the restaurant, there is no need." The shop owner smiled compensatingly, but it was really uglier than crying.
"Boss, you are destined to Starlight City. As long as you are loyal to the city lord, the money you get from bargain hunting will definitely be returned hundreds of times." Ding Fan pointed out.
"There's nothing to say about City Master Ji's character. I've admired him for a long time. If not, I wouldn't have come in at this time." The shop owner patted his chest.
After the meal, the owner of the restaurant was as busy as a top, adding wine and food, without stopping for a moment.
When leaving, Ding Fan put down thirty spirit stones. The shop owner's eyes widened in shock and he waved his hands repeatedly: "Too many, too many!"
"Excellent value for money, but you deserve it." Ding Fan smiled and nodded.
Suddenly, tears accumulated in the eyes of the shop owner. He pulled up his sleeves to wipe them away and said with emotion: "These days, human life is not valuable, and there are not many customers like you!"
Human life in the spiritual world is worthless, and hundreds of years of hard work will be destroyed in one day.
Looking up from a high place, the streets are dilapidated and the people are sparse. The former prosperity remains in my dreams.
After leaving Kuixing Restaurant, the owner kept waving him off, reluctant to leave. Ding Fan felt sour for no reason and almost shed tears.
"The alliance leader was too arrogant and rewarded ten spirit stones casually." Leng Ling'er is still feeling heartbroken.
"Just think of it as retaining some monks for City Lord Ji."
Ding Fan casually explained that in fact, he always felt like he was doing something for himself.
The shops were closed on the way and there was nothing to stop at, so we came all the way to Yangxing Hall.
The security was even tighter, three times as high as before. There were guards in full armor just three to five steps away, eyeing everyone who passed by.
Arriving in front of the palace gate, Ding Fan was about to ask Lan Yaoshi to step forward to pass the news, but the guards on both sides took a few steps forward, with their cold swords lying in front of him.
"No one is allowed to come near!"
Taoist Shenxuan looked displeased and said arrogantly: "Our leader is a friend of City Lord Ji, and we hope to spread the word."
"The city lord will not accept you, leave immediately!" The guard refused to give an inch.
The chief of Shenxuan Taoism couldn't help it, he frowned and emphasized: "You guys don't understand the rules. At the city gate, the guards and soldiers were not polite to each other. Why did they stop them when they got there?"
"Starlight City is widely absorbing new citizens. Naturally, the city gates are wide open, allowing people to come and go at will. But this is Yangxing Palace, how can everyone come in?" The guard said with a dark face and a tyrannical tone.
"Tch, it's like facing a formidable enemy. A horde of beasts will scare your city lord to death, right?" Witten chuckled.
"Be bold!"
The guard's face darkened, and Mao Jian immediately aimed at Witten.
Overestimating his own strength, Wei Teng snorted with disdain, his breath surged in his palms, if it really didn't work, he attacked with force!
"Alliance leader? Is it the alliance leader?"
At this moment, a voice came from the outside. It sounded familiar. Ding Fan couldn't help but smile lightly, he was an old acquaintance!
The Zhang brothers who stayed in Starlight City.
The guards spread out, and two men dressed like generals walked over, surrounded by a group of soldiers.
Seeing Ding Fan, the Zhang brothers were so excited that they hurriedly knelt down and bowed down: "I pay my respects to the leader of the alliance! We sincerely welcome the leader of the alliance to return to the spirit world!"
Ding Fan chuckled, helped the two of them up, looked up and down, and praised: "The cultivation has improved a lot, and the style is also very good!"
"Thanks to the alliance leader, my two brothers stayed in Starlight City and were reused by City Lord Ji to be responsible for patrolling Yangxing Hall." Zhang Yongyong handed over his report.
"City Lord Ji, are you okay?" Ding Fan asked.
"Okay, not good either." Zhang Yongyong nodded first and then shook his head. Zhang Yongguang heard this anxiously and said first: "Ji City Lord took the lead and was seriously injured. He was cured, but he has been depressed and rarely goes out."
"That day was really tragic."
Zhang Yongyong lowered his voice, and even as a gatekeeper general, he did not dare to discuss it openly.
"Leader Ding is a distinguished guest of Starlight City, and Lord Ji has spread his portrait for a long time. You are so blind that you don't recognize him when you get here!" Zhang Yongyong yelled loudly.
The guards looked at each other and apologized quickly, but still made no move to open the city gate.
"You kid, you always like to confront me!"
Zhang Yongyong got angry and raised his foot to kick, but Ding Fan stopped him and said, "A loyal and brave man cannot be bullied, so let's pass the word."
"The situation is special, please forgive me, leader."
Zhang Yongyong bowed and apologized. Just as he was about to go in, the palace door opened from inside!
Eight people stepped on the eight flying magic weapons and flew over carrying a gorgeous sedan chair.
Everyone knelt down and called out to the city lord!
Ding Fan took a closer look and saw that, yes, the person sitting on the sedan chair was none other than the Lord of Starlight City, Ji Buyu!
