Kong Xi rolled her eyes speechlessly, dismissively thinking to herself.
"Hmph, am I embarrassed? What a blockhead. If I really wanted to eat there, I could just kill everyone inside, and no one would say a thing."
"Are you going or not?" Kong Xi humd softly.
Given that the other person had told her so much, there was no reason not to go.
"Alright, let's go. It's my treat!"
Ye Chen said generously.
Only then did Kong Xi show a hint of a smile, "That's more like it, at least you have a bit of conscience."
After leaving the Divine Land Comrce Association, they turned and headed to Vermilion Bird Street, which was also bustling with activity.
If Black Tortoise Street is a comrcial street, then Vermilion Bird Street is a food street.
Both sides of the street were lined with food shops, offering hot pot, grilled fish, and all sorts of cuisines.
Nowadays, there was no shortage of ingredients, let alone delicious materials.
Many treasures, when consud, can provide significant benefits.
Arriving at a hot pot restaurant called Happiness Street, Ye Chen and Kong Xi walked in.
Due to the cold weather in December, hot pot had beco a very popular business.
Moreover, because the flavor of this place was excellent, many people ca to eat here, whether they were Pet Tars or ordinary people alike.
Inside, it was almost fully seated.
"Boss, is there any seating left?" Kong Xi asked calmly at the front desk.
The boss was a man nearing fifty, and the mont he saw Kong Xi, he was instantly dumbstruck, never having seen such a beautiful woman in his life.
"Yes, yes, yes!" the boss quickly responded, personally leading Kong Xi to a corner seat on the second floor.
Ye Chen was used to it. Kong Xi was so beautiful that no matter where they went, she would attract nurous admirers like bees to honey.
After they sat down, quite a few people couldn't help but glance over at Kong Xi.
Being good-looking can also be quite troubleso.
"Ye Chen, order the food." Kong Xi handed over the nu.
Ye Chen didn't take it, saying, "You order. Since I'm treating, you're the guest, so you order."
"Hehe!" Kong Xi laughed inexplicably and went on a random ordering spree without holding back.
Before long, the dishes ca out, and good heavens, there were four carts just for the dishes alone.
Among them was a bottle of red wine, giving off a bit of a date vibe.
Once the dishes arrived, Kong Xi imdiately started eating eagerly.
It seed Kong Xi had wanted to eat this for a long ti.
Suddenly, three people approached Kong Xi, led by a middle-aged man in his thirties who chuckled and said, "Beautiful lady, may I join you for a drink?"
Kong Xi had concealed her identity, so outsiders couldn't tell if she was human or a monster.
Faced with the man's inquiry, Kong Xi didn't respond and continued eating her hot pot.
The two n behind the leader were displeased and said, "Hey, he's talking to you. This is my big brother, the First Elder of the Phoenix Alliance, the Fire Emperor, an LV71 Breakthrough. Speak up!"
The Fire Emperor sighed deliberately and raised his hand, saying, "What's going on? I've told you so many tis, do not expose identities casually while outside. Be low-key. In a place like the First Region, full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, so what if you're a Breakthrougher? We are an alliance, not a gang! Be gentlen, be polite!"
Although his speech sounded very noble, advocating low profile, the Fire Emperor's lofty expression utterly betrayed him.
People around, upon hearing 'Breakthrough', obviously paused and looked at the Fire Emperor with envy.
The Fire Emperor enjoyed this feeling imnsely, holding his head high, looking extrely superior.
Squinting at Kong Xi, the Fire Emperor wore a very confident face, inwardly very excited.
"Good heavens, this is the most beautiful woman I've seen in my life! If I take her away, those guys would die of jealousy!"
The more he thought about it, the more excited the Fire Emperor beca, especially since this was sothing easy to achieve. Just by inadvertently revealing his identity and strength, wouldn't this woman cling to him imdiately? No matter how beautiful, a woman is just a token for increasing status for the powerful.
Suddenly, the Fire Emperor's brow furrowed slightly upon seeing Ye Chen sitting across from Kong Xi, making him feel a bit uneasy.
"Damn it, what's going on? Is this kid the boyfriend of this beauty? What a waste of good cabbage for a pig, but damn, I want it too!"
After waiting all this ti and seeing Kong Xi not imdiately throwing herself at him but continuing to sit eating hot pot, the Fire Emperor felt very displeased.
"Beautiful lady, may I join you for a al? You not saying anything ans you're agreeing!"
The Fire Emperor spoke up, feeling a burst of joy when Kong Xi still said nothing.
He walked over to Ye Chen, and threw ten thousand gold coins directly at him, instructing, "Kid, go get a table to yourself, my treat."
Ye Chen glanced at the Fire Emperor as if looking at an idiot.
Kong Xi suddenly said, "Brother Ye Chen, this guy is so annoying, can you make him leave? It's ruining my appetite!"
"Ugh!"
Hearing Kong Xi's sweet tone, Ye Chen nearly gagged; he had no idea where she learned that from.
"Miss, that's not quite right of you. What do you an by being annoying? Let tell you, I am a Breakthrougher and the First Elder of the Phoenix Alliance. Plenty of won want , liking you is your good fortune, so don't be ungrateful!"
The Fire Emperor had never been so insulted before, and spoke with so anger.
Ye Chen was also getting annoyed by this guy. He wiped his mouth, looked up at the man, and coldly said, "So you're the Fire Emperor, huh? I'm giving you ten seconds to disappear from my sight, or face the consequences!"
"Hmm?"
The three were slightly stunned, then burst into laughter, "Hahaha, this is hilarious, is he threatening ?"
People eating around also looked over with expressions of watching a show.
"Kid, do you know who I am? Let tell you, I'm a Breakthrougher, squashing you would be as easy as squishing an ant."
Swish!
Ye Chen suddenly stood up, grabbing the Fire Emperor's throat with imnse strength.
"Cough! Let go! Let go!"
The Fire Emperor's face turned red from being choked, desperately slapping at Ye Chen's arm.
"I told you, vanish, why won't you listen! Get lost now!"
Ye Chen released the Fire Emperor, figuring it wasn't good to be fighting in soone else's establishnt.
"Cough, cough!" The Fire Emperor sat on the ground, greedily breathing in air.
There was a bright red handprint on his neck.
"Damn, kid, you're looking for trouble!"
The Fire Emperor cursed angrily.
Thud!
The Fire Emperor suddenly knelt down, humbly saying, "I'm sorry, my lord, I know I was wrong, I'm sorry!"
Dark Princess appeared behind Ye Chen, holding the Heaven-Sundering Spear, looking at the Fire Emperor coldly.
"LV74, Creation Tier!"
Upon seeing Dark Princess for the first ti, the Fire Emperor sincerely knelt down imdiately, earnestly pleading for Ye Chen's forgiveness.
Seeing Ye Chen's silence, the Fire Emperor beca anxious, quickly saying, "I'm sorry, my lord, I was wrong, truly wrong. This al is on , on !"
"Do you think I can't afford my al, hence your treat?"
