Song Jingyue was very unhappy.
Extremely, extremely unhappy.
At the same time, her face was also very red, extremely, extremely red.
Because she realized that she had underestimated her senior brother’s thick skin.
After being rejected by her yesterday, Leng Boceng didn’t give up but continued to tempt Song Jingyue with words.
In the end, under the allure of seeing the true bustling side of Destiny City, Song Jingyue decided to secretly sneak out with her senior brother without her master’s knowledge.
But she never expected that her senior brother would lead her to a place like this.
Glaring at the elegant maidens and beautiful courtesans fluttering about like butterflies through the crowd, Song Jingyue was practically grinding her teeth in anger.
Especially when she noticed that, even though Leng Boceng was seated across from her, his eyes had already wandered completely to those women. Her face immediately darkened.
"Senior brother, are you seriously taking your junior sister to visit a brothel?" Song Jingyue’s tone was harsh.
Leng Boceng reluctantly pulled his gaze back from the women’s waists upon hearing this, then chuckled sheepishly.
"Junior sister, you’ve misunderstood! While the Vermilion Pavilion is technically an inn, it’s not just any inn. The chefs here are top-notch! And the spiritual wine here is also incredibly well-known! Since we’re here, we must absolutely give them a try!"
As he spoke, several serving girls gracefully approached and began placing an array of exquisite dishes onto the table.
Though she was still fuming inside, Song Jingyue couldn’t resist when faced with the enticing aroma and sight of the dishes. Her appetite instantly kicked in!
As the successor to the White Bone Sect, she rarely descended the mountain, and her usual diet consisted mostly of spiritual medicines to supplement her yin essence, leaving her unaccustomed to such delectable flavors.
Taking one bite, Song Jingyue’s eyes widened instantly, and she began devouring the food with gusto.
Leng Boceng sat watching her with a satisfied grin, wearing the expression of a doting senior brother indulging his naive junior sister.
But deep down, he was smirking coldly.
Eat up!
Once you’re full and drunk, it’ll be my turn to act!
As these vile thoughts rose in Leng Boceng’s mind, a calm voice from the adjacent table suddenly interrupted.
"The ingredients are decent, and the technique is passable, but the balance of flavors is terrible!"
Song Jingyue, who had been fervently eating, instinctively looked up upon hearing this voice.
Sitting at the next table was a white-clothed youth, holding a pair of chopsticks and critiquing the dishes in front of him.
Beside him stood a young woman dressed in green, whose eyes looked as if they were about to roll out of her head.
Ah Qing was absolutely fuming. She couldn’t understand how dishes praised by so many could suddenly be dismissed so harshly by this youth.
Especially when she saw Xue An shaking his head after sampling several dishes, she became increasingly irate and placed the last plate in her hands onto the table with some force.
"This one’s our signature dish!"
Her tone was icy, with none of yesterday’s gentle charm.
In truth, Ah Qing now resented Xue An deeply. She couldn’t believe that this seemingly fresh-out-of-sect "puppy" was so impervious to her advances. All her flirting felt like casting pearls before swine.
But rather than deter her, this only fueled Ah Qing’s competitive spirit. And due to an upcoming major event in several days, Ah Qing had deliberately taken on the role of a server girl today, intending to get closer to this white-clothed youth.
Yet all she’d managed to get so far was frustrated.
