However, because Lily did not focus her pressure on Hervy, he was unscathed, except for a slight chill he felt from the nacing pressure.
"Why didn't anyone tell she was a Mana Vein Tempering Realm Mage!?" Hervy clutched his rapidly beating chest in fear.
[Who knew the innocent, naive, and gentle Lily could be so fierce…] The System said to Lucian after witnessing the spectacle.
[That's exactly what I was thinking!] Lucian silently nodded as a subtle smile graced his lips from witnessing her behavior and actions.
It was definitely to his liking. One should not just roll over and let themselves be bullied.
Suddenly, a new rule appeared in the nu.
'Seventh Rule:
No custor is allowed to bully the chef-owner or the employees.'
Once the new rule was written into all nus, the System relayed the new rule to Lucian, who was more than happy with its addition to the nu.
[Host, are you not worried that I will cripple you for hiring Lily as a waitress?] The System's solemn voice sounded out in Lucian's mind after a while.
Lucian chuckled, [Of course not, otherwise you would have done it already. And just so you know, she isn't a waitress.]
The System did not respond since it did not care what Lily's title was, whether it was waitress, wife, or both, it was all the sa to it.
After serving the dishes, Lily eagerly walked over to Lucian and asked nervously, [Big Brother Lucian, can Lily eat in your kitchen… with the barrier up?]
[Sure.]
[Really? Thank you, Big Brother Lucian! You're the best!] Lily gushed and skipped into the kitchen. Imdiately after, the familiar barrier sprung up.
Subsequently, Lily removed her mask and bamboo hat, exposing her beautiful, cute face to Lucian's eyes.
The familiar sll glided across her face like a warm snake. It felt nice and comfortable.
"Ahhh~!" She sighed, savoring the aroma.
However, Lily did not imdiately start gobbling down the food. Even though she so desperately wished to do so, her consciousness would not allow it.
"Big Brother Lucian, aren't you curious why Lily is hiding her identity?"
Lucian looked at her for a mont before replying, "I would be lying if I said no. However, I'm sure you have a reason. You can tell when you're ready. Also, you're not the only one hiding their identity."
Lily's beautiful pink eyes sparked with gratitude, "Thank you, Big Brother Lucian."
She then continued with a blush on her cheeks, "Lily will tell you everything one day. For now, Lily has sothing to do."
Without wasting a second longer, Lily began eating in an attempt to calm her raging heart after what she just said. After all, who reveals their biggest secret to a stranger? The answer was no one and Lucian was intelligent enough to notice that.
anwhile, everyone, except Fenwick and Jas, hurriedly began gobbling down the food as if it was their last al.
'If not for Senior's rule, I would have ordered the Siren's lody Poached Egg as well.' Fenwick swallowed his saliva and felt his stomach rumble from the delicious sll.
Jas gave them a look and thought skeptically, 'From their appearance, it's like they haven't eaten in years. Is it that good?'
As Jas lifted a piece of the poached egg, a refreshing aroma exploded out with the blue runny yolk.
However, before the runny yolk could slide down his spoon, he caught it with his open mouth.
The rich flavor of the egg burst forth like a raging tidal wave, coating his mouth in a delicious mixture of sweet and spicy.
His taste buds were jumping for joy, and each ti his teeth bit into the crispy chives, a wave of heat would pulse from his mouth to the entirety of his body.
'Ahhh~'
'No wonder they praised his dish to the high Heavens. This is beyond delicious.' Jas felt every single Low-Grade Mana Stone was worth this dish. The taste was unlike he had ever tasted.
Though the taste was delicious, what truly made the dish worth the price was the chef-owner knew how to infuse Mana into his dishes.
This thod of cooking was sothing he had only been fortunate enough to try during the Young Master Orchard's twentieth birthday.
'To think I would et a chef who knows how to infuse Mana into a dish in this backwater place.'
Although Jas was correct in his conjecture, he was not entirely correct either. Lucian's dish was not as simple as a Mana-infused dish. His food not only contained Celestial Mana provided by the System, but he had maintained the Mana within the ingredients during the cooking process.
If Jas knew the truth, his reaction would have been far more drastic.
A few hundred feet away from the restaurant, the chubby young man nad Li Yong looked at them with a frown as they ate.
"Amitabha, Buddha is rciful!"
A clear and gentle voice sounded beside him, causing Li Yong's frown to deepen, but he did not pay attention to the young monk beside him.
"Almsgiver, instead of waiting here and watching them eat enviously, why don't you go and try the chef's food?"
'...' Li Yong took a deep breath and continued ignoring the monk.
However, Anselm did not give up and continued to pester him, "Just look at their infatuated faces as they eat. It's like they are taking a bite out of the most beautiful goddess in existence. And the juices on their lips… The way they are licking their lips. It must be heavenly nectar! Any man would die happily after just a sip, yet they get to enjoy mouthfuls of it. What a pity!
Where is the equality? I say, Almsgiver should march in there and demand a serving."
Li Yong gritted his teeth as the spark of fire in his rotund belly grew. The bald donkey's words gnawed at him bit by bit, causing his stomach to rumble in agreent, urging him to go.
