Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 134 — Luxury Restaurant
Although the white eagle demon was the fastest flying demon in the martial world but still it took a long time for him to go to the academy that was tens of thousands of kilometers away from the capital.
Not to mention the white eagle can only fly for eight hours a day, the rest he uses his time to rest and eat.
So it was no surprise when they arrived at the imperial border far from their original estimated time, Jiang Long had previously mentioned that it took three weeks to reach the Academy but the reality on the ground, however, the time they got to the academy was about to reach four weeks.
This was because Zhou Yuan's entourage had to be stopped for several days when the rain arrived, the white eagle that Jiang Long rode on would refuse to get wet by the rain as well as be vulnerable to the cold temperatures.
"We rest first in this city, the academy is not far away anymore, they are there." Jiang Long pointed at a sky that was now filled with clouds.
Zhou Yuan and Yifei looked at the one Jiang Long pointed at, they could see nothing but just a smorgasbord of clouds.
"I mean the academy's uncle is above the clouds?" Ask Yifei.
Jiang Long nodded, "Right, it was precisely on top of the mountain that pierced through the clouds..."
Yifei looked puzzled but not long after he found the answer when the eagle they were riding found a large mountain and also high.
Zhou Yuan who saw it until he was amazed, he had only first seen a mountain of such magnitude and height until its peak pierced through the clouds above the sky.
Zhou Yuan had indeed heard that the Four Empires Academy was built on the clouds or the mountain peak but hearing and seeing it in person felt much different.
Jiang Long then began to lower the speed of the eagle as well as lower his height, he intended not to go directly to the top of the mountain but instead stop at a different place first.
Right at the foot of the mountain of the Four Empires Academy it turned out that there was a large city surrounding it. According to Jiang Long, this city was usually a city of disciples shopping.
"That means they have to go up and down the mountain if they want to go to this town?" Yifei gulped when he realized something.
"True Fei'er, the academy disciples would climb for 3 hours to descend and another 3 hours to ascend."
Yifei widened his eyes, he felt lucky that he had once rejected his Grandfather's offer to enter the academy.
Jiang Long landed his eagle in the middle of the city precisely in the vast open and there was no one below him.
The arrival of the Jiang Long eagle attracted the attention of others because it is not common to see rare white eagles throughout their lives.
"We will find a restaurant place first before going to the academy, stomach affairs must be the top priority..." Jiang Long said while stroking his stomach.
Zhou Yuan and Yifei looked at each other, both of them were already not surprised anymore by the attitude of the middle-aged Grandfather. Jiang Long did have a slightly bloated body, according to Yifei he was very fond of eating and nothing beat his appetite in the palace.
Zhou Yuan's entourage then foraging in the city, from Jiang Long Zhou Yuan knowing that the name of the city at the foot of this mountain was named Lily City.
Lily City was touted as the city of the four Empires because it was on the border of the four direct empires. In this city they have their own laws, not bound by any empire in accordance with the policy of the mayor who served.
Not long after they finally found the intended restaurant, a restaurant that looked big and had five floors, in one look, Zhou Yuan realized the restaurant in front of him was an expensive restaurant.
A young maiden welcomed the arrival of the three and was a little surprised when she saw the white eagle for the first time when she saw such a large eagle.
"Can I put my pet in here?" Jiang Long threw a few gold pieces at the servant.
"We have some warriors guarding this restaurant, I'll order them to look after your pets."
Jiang Long nodded then took Zhou Yuan and Yifei into the restaurant.
Zhou Yuan and Yifei knew Jiang Long would look for a seat on the fifth floor, where the top floor was the most expensive floor but had the most delicious food menu.
One piece of gold was handed over so that the three could enter the top floor, there were only a few tables decorated in such a way as well as a small stage for the show.
On the fifth floor there was no one but Zhou Yuan's entourage, the three looked for a seat next to the window, before long a waiter came with a friendly smile, asking for the food ordered.
"No need, bring all the food on your menu, I'll order everything..." Jiang Long said to the servant.
Zhou Yuan choked on his own breath while Yifei could only smile awkwardly.
Zhou Yuan was surprised because he thought Jiang Long was over-ordering food, considering they were currently in a luxurious restaurant for sure any food ordered would be very expensive.
"Ehm, the price of all the food has a high price on the fifth floor, are you sure you will order everything?" Ask the waiter to make sure.
"No need to worry, I have enough money..." Jiang Long gave the servant a leather pouch containing dozens of gold coins.
The servant's eyes widened, with that much coin, more than enough to pay for all the food on the fifth floor.
"Well, since the order is quite a lot we will take some time, hopefully Mister and Miss can be patient waiting..." After saying that, the waiter left.
"Uncle, isn't it too much to waste that kind of money?" Jiang Yifei complained about his uncle's extravagant-looking nature.
If it was in the palace, maybe Yifei was fine for Jiang Long to eat as much but for now, his uncle was feeling excessive.
"You don't have to worry about Fei'er, we still have a lot of money to travel with." Jiang Long pointed out a leather pouch that was much larger in size, its contents contained nearly thousands of gold coins.
Yifei sighed, sometimes he always wondered why his aged uncle was still a little childish.
Zhou Yuan observed Jiang Long and Yifei talking to each other since earlier, he did not comment much and rather observed the restaurant stage area because there was soon a dance performance there.
While waiting for the food to arrive, Zhou Yuan saw the dance performance, before long the sound of musical instruments was heard making the girls start dancing on stage.
Zhou Yuan had not witnessed this kind of entertainment for a long time since being reborn, whereas in his first life, he liked the name of an art beauty the most.
Yifei who saw Zhou Yuan was looking at the dancing girl immediately showed a dislike expression. He directly pinched Zhou Yuan which made the man grimace in pain.
"Fei'er, why are you pinching me?" Zhou Yuan stroked his pinched hand.
If an ordinary pinch was possible Zhou Yuan would not feel the pain but the girl pinched it using deep energy as well.
"Hmmm!" Yifei snorted and immediately threw his face away in annoyance.
Zhou Yuan scratched his head, it seemed like he was beginning to understand the girl's feelings for him. When Zhou Yuan wanted to say something suddenly from the direction of the stairs, there was another entourage that went up to the fifth floor.
