The Legend of Divine Destiny
LTI 19 - Peach Flower Restaurant

The night passed quietly. Slowly the moon disappeared into the warm light of the soul-warming sun.

“Is this Miss Qiuyu preparing breakfast?” As Ling Qiuyu was busy in the kitchen, Shen Lao and Ling Xie chatted.

“Qiuqiu cook special food today. He's older than you. But he is very considerate and reliable. Aunt Xie is sure you will be happy if you come home greeted with her smile.” Ling Xie's reply made Shen Lao choke.

‘Aunt Xie teased me?’ Shen Lao thought Ling Xie was just joking. But after seeing how the sweat soaked all over that pretty face, Shen Lao was amazed by Ling Qiuyu's cooking ability.

The wide variety of delicious dishes that Ling Qiuyu served made Shen Lao unable to contain his hunger. After all this was the thing he craved, going home and there were people cooking food for him.

Shen Lao admitted that he had become interested in Ling Qiuyu, after all Ling Xie had already coded him.

A short while after Shen Lao and Ling Xie had a long chat. Finally Ling Qiuyu joined in with a bowl of food that gave off a fragrant aroma inviting appetite.

This was the cooking she missed. Various delicious dishes Shen Lao tasting. Her tears almost trickled when she recalled her late mother's cooking.

‘Young Master Shen why look sad? Is my cooking not good.’ Ling Qiuyu looked disappointed to see Shen Lao's sad expression.

Shen Lao was always surprised by Ling Qiuyu who was talented in cooking. Indeed besides being good at managing finances and doing business that was already ingrained in his blood, Ling Qiuyu had special intelligence and talent.

After breakfast together, Shen Lao asked where Grandma Nue was not at breakfast with them. Ling Xie explained that Granny Nue was recruiting warriors to join the Nine Treasures Phoenix.

Nue's grandmother had an acquaintance with one of the martial world figures of the Jia Empire who now served as the Blue Moon Palace's Matriarch.

‘The Flower Series also comes from there. I leave it to Grandma Nue. If the Flower Fairy is indeed a match for me, then sooner or later we will meet.’ Shen Lao thought meaningfully before asking for permission to go around the Jiaran Capital.

Ling Qiuyu was about to accompany Shen Lao, but he had the rush to take care of the needs of the Nine Phoenix Treasures with Ling Xie.

“Young Master Shen, hold and save this badge. From now on Nine Phoenix Treasures belong to Young Master.” Ling Qiuyu said softly. Shen Lao accepted it and said goodbye to Ling Qiuyu.

After Shen Lao disappeared from his sight, Ling Qiuyu held onto his chest, “Mother, it seems like I have fallen for Young Master Shen. I didn't expect him to be the sweet baby son of Aunt Liu.”

Ling Xie held onto Ling Qiuyu's weak shoulder, “Lao is already growing well. I'm sure you can relax there Liuliu.”

Ling Xie looked at his grown-up daughter, “If you love her, then state how you feel. Mother's instinct as a woman feels that Lao Diner is also interested in you.”

Ling Qiuyu flushed her face. Because this is the first time she fell for a man, “Mother, but she is younger than me..”.

Ling Xie shook his head, “Qiuqiu, that love does not look at age. Love is blind and love does not look at age.”

Ling Qiuyu shuddered at Ling Xie's words, “Ah, Mom is good at teasing!” Ling Qiuyu puffed her cheeks before washing the dishes with Ling Xie.

The two talked about the figure of Shen Lao who had grown up. At the same time, Shen Lao toured the Jiaran Capital and looked for a place to refresh his mind.

The matter of the guards no longer drove him away, after Shen Lao paid them to eat at the tavern. From the guards of the Jia Nobles Residence, Shen Lao obtained information about the deaths of the three princes three days ago.

Shen Lao was shocked to hear that. The deaths of the three princes due to exposure to deadly drinking poison. The poison was named the Eternal Torment Poison.

The guards looked at Shen Lao's face meticulously in awe of his good looks and noble aura. According to them Shen Lao has a background that should not be mentioned just anyone.

“So there are only two princes left who accuse each other. Who do you think did it?” Shen Lao held the glass filled with water before gulping it down.

The sturdy-looking guard replied, ”That's it Young Master. I myself do not want to indiscriminately accuse.”

‘Prince Jia Song is the first prince to inherit the throne, while the second prince named Jia Mu is the one who cooperates with the black stream.’ Shen Lao wanted to see the Jia Emperor but according to the guards, the Jia Emperor was in a severe illness and had died after announcing Jia Song to be the successor to the throne.

“Young Master. The day after tomorrow was the process of making Prince Song the Jia Emperor. But the plan was scrapped because the prince's death had many irregularities. Aaaahhh, the life of a noble is indeed full of struggles for inheritance.” The skinny-looking guard was already drunk from drinking the wine he ordered.

Shen Lao dug up the information from the two guards before putting ten gold pieces on the table and leaving the tavern.

“Everyone is not aware of this problem. Palace hid it, but sooner or later there will be chaos.”.

Shen Lao watched the surrounding that looked crowded. Many residents were selling by the roadside, a glimpse of Shen Lao looking at a most expensive and most luxurious restaurant in the Jia Empire.

“I will buy food supplies for my trip later.” If it stored food in the Infinite Space Seal then that food would not go stale.

Peach Flower Restaurant is a building that has five floors and serves luxury and expensive food. And even more shocking than the owner of the Peach Flower Restaurant was the son of Jia Song.

Shen Lao was surprised after asking some people who were chatting on the street. After staring for a long time, Shen Lao immediately walked into the Peach Flower Restaurant. His arrival attracted the attention of many people, Shen Lao had already suppressed his strength in order not to look conspicuous. But he realized people were staring at him because of his aura.

They looked carefully at Shen Lao especially the women who were eating alone at the Peach Flower Restaurant. Shen Lao's paras stunned them.

A waiter came to Shen Lao and greeted him, “Welcome to Peach Flower Restaurant.”

“Give me a private room and call the owner of this Peach Flower Restaurant to accompany me.” Shen Lao's words sounded arrogant. Even the servant who was already being polite glared sharply at Shen Lao.

“Young Master, the owner of this restaurant is the most influential person in the Jia Empire. The Princess cannot accompany someone like you.” The waiter put on a forced friendly smile.

Shen Lao moved his finger, “Then take me to a private room. If after seeing this, can you accept my request to have the Princess accompany me.”

The butler's body trembled violently and choked upon seeing the mountain of gold, ‘Who is this young man? She has a noble face, is she the fiancee of the Princess?’

The servant escorted Shen Lao to a private room. After a while Shen Lao waited, he finally heard the sound of the door opening slowly and saw a beautiful girl walking up to him.

This girl sat in front of him and looked at him full of strategy. Shen Lao looked at this girl from top to bottom, and made this girl return her gaze with both seductive eyes.
