Chapter 217: An Expensive Meal

Chapter 217: An Expensive Meal

“Welcome back to the Dragon Pavilion, senior disciples,” Chu Bo greeted Yuan and the others the moment he’d arrived before looking at Yuan with admiration in his gaze.

After all, this is his first time seeing someone with so many top beauties at once, and they were even prominent beauties within the sect. One can only imagine how many people would be envious of Yuan’s situation right now, as he had a beauty sitting close to him in almost every direction.

“Have you decided on what you’d like to eat?” Chu Bo asked them after his greeting.

Yuan nodded and spoke without even a shred of hesitation within his voice, “I want everything on the menu like last time.”

“…”

Everybody there beside Chu Bo looked at Yuan with surprised expressions on their faces, almost like they couldn’t believe what they’d just heard.

“I understand. What about the Senior Fairies? What would you like to eat today?” Chu Bo proceeded to ask the others, dumbfounding them even more.

Yuan had already ordered everything that was on the menu, why did he feel the need to ask them what they wanted to eat? It was almost as if he expected Yuan to eat all of the food he’d ordered by himself, which didn’t sound very possible.

Seeing these beauty staring at him with questionable gazes, Chu Bo responded with a somewhat stiff smile on his face, “Senior apprentice-brother Yuan has a big appetite, and he finished everything on the menu by himself the last time he was here, so I assumed that he’d be doing the same this time…”

“What? Is that true?” They turned to look at Yuan who quickly nodded his head without any shame on his face.

“Heavens… even my contribution points would be in danger if we come to the Dragon Pavilion more than once a month…” Fei Yuyan spoke in a joking voice.

“Anyways, since that’s the case, I’ll have…”

Fei Yuyan ordered her food next, followed by Xuan Wuhan and Min Li.

“Thank you. I shall notify the cooks right now,” Chu Bo bowed to them before leaving the place.

Once they were alone again, Fei Yuyan turned to look at Yuan and said, “Not only did we win this zither competition, I’d even improved my own zither arts greatly, and this is all thanks to you, Disciple Yuan. This isn’t much, but I’d like to thank you properly…”

She then reached into her robes before retrieving her disciple identification badge.

“Let me see yours.”

Yuan didn’t think much about it and retrieved his bronze disciple identification badge.

Fei Yuyan placed her own directly before Yuan’s badge, and a few seconds later, she transferred some of her own contribution points to him.

[You have received 1,000 contribution points from Fei Yuyan]

“Are you sure? You really don’t need to… I didn’t join the competition because I wanted a reward from you,” Yuan said to her.

“It’s okay, really. It’s the only thing I can do for you now, and I don’t know how else I can express my gratitude,” she responded.

Yuan nodded and accepted the contribution points.

‘I should check out the place where I can use my contribution later and see what I can buy with my points…’ Yuan thought to himself as he put away his badge.

A few moments later, Yuan suddenly retrieved the Soul Ensnaring Zither and said, “Why don’t I play a few songs while we wait for our food?”

“That sounds great!” Xuan Wuhan immediately nodded.

After taking a deep breath, Yuan began playing the zither. However, he didn’t play anything too extravagant. With that being said, even though he wasn’t playing seriously, it was good enough to fool every disciple in the Dragon Pavilion, making them believe that it was Fei Yuyan who was playing.

Meanwhile, the three beauties sitting around him stared at him without blinking, looking like they’d been mesmerized by his performance.

Sometime later, once the food began arriving at the table, Yuan stored the zither and began eating his food, quickly shocking the ladies.

‘How can so much food fit inside such a small body?’ They couldn’t help but ask themselves.

‘He’s really talented in everything he does… even eating…’

Sometime later, Yuan sighed in a satisfied manner, “That was a great meal.”

“I can’t believe it… You really finished every single plate…” Xuan Wuhan mumbled in a dazed voice, and she continued, “This makes me somewhat worried about that time you had dinner at my house… It was probably only enough to fill the gaps between your teeth…”

“What? Disciple Yuan had dinner at your house?” Fei Yuyan turned to look at her with wide eyes, surprised by her sudden reveal.

“That’s right. We had dinner with my father there as well.” Xuan Wuhan said with a somewhat smug look on her face.

“…”

Fei Yuyan was speechless.

“Anyway, here’s my badge for the bill. This is my treat.” Fei Yuyan then handed Chu Bo her badge.

“Eh? Does that include us? Even though you’d already said that you wouldn’t treat us?” Xuan Wuhan asked her.

Fei Yuyan glanced at her and said, “I will gladly change my mind and make you pay for it if that’s what I am understanding from your words.”

Xuan Wuhan immediately turned around and began whistling. Although she has plenty of contribution points as well, she’d rather not use them if she didn’t have to, as she was saving them up for a new cultivation technique.

“Thank you, Senior apprentice-sister Fei.” Chu Bo said as he subtracted the bill from her contribution points.

‘200 contribution points gone just like that…’ Fei Yuyan’s eyebrows uncontrollably twitched after seeing the devastation Yuan had caused to her wallet. For an ordinary disciple, it would take months, even years to collect 200 contribution points, yet she’d spent the same amount for a single meal, not to mention the 1,000 contribution points she’d given to Yuan beforehand.

Spending 1,200 contribution points in a single day, unless somebody went on a shopping spree in the Exchange Hall and bought every expensive treasure their gaze landed on, was an unthinkable act that would cause many disciples to physically cry.
