Chapter 603 - Boring Banquet

The hall of the largest hotel in Night City was brightly lit and filled with people.

Countless celebrities and beauties with gorgeous clothes and different temperaments shuttled around, surrounding those true important figures who were perhaps extremely famous in the public or perhaps not famous at all. Immediately, this banquet was filled with a high-end and luxurious aura.

Chu Nan glanced at the familiar buildings and the similarly familiar crowd. He then looked at his familiar companions and almost thought that he had transmigrated back to the day he followed Xiu to the banquet.

Of course, it was still very different from the previous time.

The most obvious difference was that Xiu was not like a hungry ghost who was reincarnated last time. She stared at the food on the table and did not let go. In the end, she still had to rely on Chu Nan’s help to eat.

Now, Xiu was wearing an evening gown that Dong Fang had prepared for her. She had even specially put on some makeup on her face. Coupled with her beautiful face, long and beautiful figure that she had been exercising all year round, and the most charming pair of blue eyes, just standing there was filled with temptation.

Moreover, compared to the celebrity beauties shuttling around the hall, the wild aura on Xiu’s body was still very strong. It did not fade at all. At first glance, it did not match the evening gown and this banquet, but when combined, it had an especially charm and easily attracted the gazes of countless people.

Looking at Xiu who was unaware of this and her gaze still jumping between the delicacies on the table, Chu Nan could not help but laugh.

No wonder when Xiu told the high priest that she wanted to change the lives of her clansmen, the first thing she said was that she did not need to always be hungry. It seemed that the living environment of their race in the wasteland was too poor, causing Xiu to often be hungry, so her desire for food could not be changed.

“Xiu, if you want to eat something, go get it. Don’t just watch.” Chu Nan pointed at the dining table in front of him.

Xiu immediately looked away like a frightened rabbit and shook her head.

“No… Dong Fang said that I’m here as the image representative of the Rand Clan today. I have to restrain myself as much as possible and not be too embarrassed…”

As she spoke, Xiu could not help but turn her gaze to the dining table.

Chu Nan laughed and shook his head. He simply walked over and picked up a huge plate. He did not care about others’ gazes and filled the entire plate with meat from the dining table. He only matched it with a few vegetables before bringing it back.

“Come, let’s find a place to eat slowly. You just have to pay attention to your small bites. No one will laugh at you.”

Chu Nan looked around and found an empty table in the corner. He brought Xiu over and sat down. He put down the plate and grabbed a roasted leg of an unknown animal before tearing it apart.

“Yes, it tastes good. Xiu, why are you looking at me? Eat.”

Xiu blankly looked at Chu Nan eating meat and her throat moved. Clearly, she swallowed her saliva.

Chu Nan looked at her and could not help but laugh.

“Alright, you don’t have to learn my way of eating. Since Dong Fang taught you some banquet etiquette, he clearly taught you dining etiquette too, right? Eat carefully.”

Xiu nodded and stared at the large plate of meat in front of her for a while before picking up the knife and fork beside her. She carefully cut off a piece with clearly unskilled actions and ate it with a refined expression.

Chu Nan shook his head and thought to himself that this was really difficult.

She had originally lived freely in the wasteland, but now, she was forcefully thrown into this high-end event and was restricted by all kinds of restrictions.

If not for the fact that Dong Fang could help her fulfill her dream of letting her clansmen live a good life, Xiu would probably not have been able to endure it.

“Speaking of Dong Fang… where did this kid go?” Chu Nan bit off another piece of meat and frowned as he looked around. He still did not see Dong Fang.

Ever since this guy entered the banquet, he had Chu Nan bring Xiu here to slowly enjoy the banquet while he disappeared with his subordinates.

Since he had brought Chu Nan and Xiu here, it was obvious that he had a reason. However, he had not seen anyone for so long and it was really annoying to make Chu Nan wait here.

One had to know that tonight was the gathering time set by Teacher Galostan. According to the advance notice, all the students had to report to the gathering before 12 PM local time in Nightclub City so that they could take the space flight to Leviathan tomorrow morning.

Chu Nan took the lead to look at the personal terminal on his wrist and discovered that it was already close to 9 PM.

“If this kid doesn’t come back soon, I have to ask him.”

Chu Nan glanced at Xiu who was still eating carefully with her head lowered. He thought for a moment and opened his personal terminal to send a message to Angie Prairie.

The call was quickly picked up. Angie Prairie’s figure appeared, but there was still light behind her.

The time zone at the Holy Mountain of the Rand Clan was a few times earlier than Nightclub City. It was currently afternoon.

Thanks to Chu Nan’s request for the support of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce, the Holy Mountain of the Rand Clan had already been included in the range of the Milky Way Network with the technical support of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce. This allowed Chu Nan to conveniently communicate with Angie Prairie remotely.

“Heh, Chu Nan, what are you doing? I hear that it’s very noisy on your side.” As soon as Angie Prairie appeared on the virtual screen and saw Chu Nan, she immediately revealed a brilliant smile.

“I’m participating in a boring banquet.” Chu Nan yawned and turned the virtual screen to the side, “With Xiu.”

Hearing Chu Nan mention her, Xiu raised her head and saw Angie Prairie on the virtual screen. She happily waved at her.

However, at this moment, she happened to use the knife to cut off a piece of meat. With a wave of her hand, she threw the piece of meat on the tip of the knife away.

Xiu looked at the piece of meat that was thrown to the ground with resentment. She seemed to have made up her mind before retracting her gaze and asking Angie Prairie, “Hello, Angie Prairie. I heard from Chu Nan that you’re now at our Rand Clan’s Holy Mountain?”

“Yes, do you want to see?” Angie Prairie also adjusted the angle of the virtual screen over there and included the Rand Clan’s Holy Mountain Corridor behind her.

Xiu was originally filled with anticipation, but after looking around, she revealed a disappointed expression.

“So the Holy Mountain is only an ordinary mountain…”

Chu Nan immediately laughed.

“Nonsense, what else do you think it is? A golden mountain that looks especially tall?”

Xiu shook her head in confusion.

“I… I don’t know. It’s just that in the legends of our clansmen, the Holy Mountain is very tall and is the holy land of our Rand Clan. It…”

Xiu bit her lip as if she could not think of a way to describe it.

Chu Nan was not interested in explaining the ruthless difference between the ideal Holy Land in his mind and reality. He turned around the virtual screen and asked Angie Prairie, “Hey, Angie Prairie, is Supremacy Oville still here? I have something to discuss with her.”
