Zhang Yuru walked and arrived in front of the only upscale hotel in the village, which was the only two-story building among all the shops. Feeling a bit tired when she got here, she decided to go in and rest for a while, stepping into the restaurant called Yu Sheng.
Zhang Yuru was quite a notable figure in the fishing village, as the Zhang Family was considered the wealthiest household in the eyes of outsiders. As soon as the waiter saw Zhang Yuru enter, he greeted her with a warm smile: "Ah, it's Miss Zhang! Please come in."
Zhang Yuru walked into the hotel and headed straight for the stairs. At that moment, the waiter quickly approached her: "Miss Zhang, please hold on."
"Why is that?"
"Miss Zhang, the upstairs has already been booked by a guest. Please dine downstairs."
Zhang Yuru was in a good mood at that moment, but her expression darkened upon hearing that someone had reserved the entire floor. She coldly asked, "Do you know who booked it?"
"I'm afraid I don't know. It was a young man dressed elegantly, accompanied by many attendants and maidservants. However, this young man does not seem to be from our area."
"Then I want to see who it is that booked the place." With that, Zhang Yuru started to head upstairs.
The waiter stepped back and continued to block her path: "Miss Zhang, you wouldn't want to make things difficult for me, would you?"
"You just need to lead the way; I'll handle the rest. If you continue to stop me, do you believe I can have this place torn down tomorrow?"
The waiter trembled in fear and stepped back, smiling wryly as he said to Zhang Yuru: "Please go ahead, Miss." He turned and led her up to the second floor.
As they reached the second floor, they were confronted by two burly men blocking their way: "What are you doing here? Our young master didn't call for you."
"Two gentlemen, our young lady from the Zhang Family is dining upstairs, and I am taking her up."
"Impudent! Did you not hear what our young master said? We have reserved this place today; everyone else should dine downstairs."
"Is this restaurant owned by your family? This establishment is open for business; why is it that only you can dine on the second floor while I cannot?" Zhang Yuru pushed the waiter aside.
The two burly men’s eyes lit up when they saw Zhang Yuru. After exchanging glances, they each took a step back, and one of them said, "If this young lady wishes to dine, why not join us at our table? I believe our young master would be very welcoming."
Zhang Yuru snorted coldly, "Going up is a given, but if it's to join your young master, then forget it. It's just a meal; I can afford it."
As they were speaking, an unhappy voice came from inside the second floor: "What are you two doing there? Don't you see the young master is dining? Hurry up and get rid of that useless person."
The two strong men shivered at the sound of the voice but did not stop Zhang Yuru from going upstairs. Although they feared the person who spoke, they understood their young master's preferences better.
The two men turned and walked toward the back room on the second floor, while Zhang Yuru, led by the waiter, arrived at a table near the window. She ordered some dim sum and a cup of tea, along with two fish and a pound of beef.
Zhang Yuru was already aware of XP following her. Although she did not say anything out loud, she was quite pleased in her heart. Since XP was following her, she naturally wanted to prepare some food for it. Zhang Yuru instructed Xuanrou to call XP in to dine and rest with her at the table.
The two burly men stopped at the entrance of the private room at the back of the second floor. Standing at the door was a thin man in his twenties, whose appearance could be described as rat-like with shifty eyes. He blocked the two men at the door and questioned them: "You two useless fools don’t know the rules about dining with the young master? Dare to let outsiders come up here; do you both want to die?"
"Butler, please calm down; only one person came up just now."
"One person doesn’t count as a person? What if it affects the young master's dining mood?"
" Butler, the person who just came up is a young girl, and she looks quite charming. I think the young master would like her," a burly man said with a fawning expression.
"What's all the noise outside? Don't you understand the rules?" A displeased voice came from inside the private room, and upon hearing it, the butler pushed the door open and walked in. Sitting at the main seat inside was a young man around twenty-two or twenty-three years old, dressed in white, with slicked-back hair and peach blossom eyes glaring at the butler at the door.
Although his expression was angry, he had a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl sitting in his lap, her fair arms coiling around his neck like a water snake. Next to the table were five other girls aged between fifteen and twenty-two, all of them disheveled and revealing. The entire private room was filled with a spring-like atmosphere, but the butler seemed unfazed by such scenes. He smiled at the young man in the main seat and said, "Young master, just now a woman came in from outside wanting to dine on the second floor. Zhang Bao and Hua Niu thought that girl was quite attractive and let her come up. I was just questioning this matter."
Upon hearing that a woman had come upstairs, the young man's previously glaring eyes suddenly changed as he smiled at the butler: " Guo Sheng, you've been with me for so long; you should know my habits. You can handle this matter. If she's plain-looking, chase her away. If she can match my beauties here... you know what to do."
The butler named Guo Sheng nodded with a smile: "Rest assured, young master; I will handle it well." After bowing to the young master, Guo Sheng turned and exited the room, gesturing to four men among the guards nearby. All four of these men were close to Intermediate Knight level.
Guo Sheng led the guards to Zhang Yuru's table. Upon seeing Zhang Yuru's appearance, he was momentarily taken aback; he thought to himself: Damn, I've seen many beautiful girls, but none can compare to her. Even if you add up all those in the young master's room, they wouldn't equal half of this girl's beauty.
With a beaming smile, Guo Sheng bowed slightly to Zhang Yuru: "Miss, isn't it rather dull dining alone here? Our young master would like to invite you for a drink; may I ask if you would honor us?"
"Not interested," Zhang Yuru replied without even lifting her eyelids, staring at her teacup while continuously spinning it in her hand.
Meanwhile, under the table, Xuanrou and XP continued eating their food, but both Mounts had shifted all their attention to the Five People across from them.
Guo Sheng and his companions completely overlooked the three-tiered Turtle and a three-tiered Earth Dog beneath the table. In other words, they didn't believe that those two magical beasts could pose any threat.
After hearing Zhang Yuru's response, Guo Sheng's previously cheerful face turned cold: "Miss, I'm kindly advising you. If you're sensible, come with us for a drink; if not... I wouldn't mind having a few brothers carry you over." After saying this, Guo Sheng instinctively took a step back; this was his habit. He had no real strength himself; his greatest asset was his mouth. Aware of his own limitations, he felt it necessary to retreat after making threats—first to allow others to back him up and second to prevent any sudden attacks from his opponent.
After stepping back, four men behind him moved forward together, preparing to take action.
As Zhang Yuru was about to take action, a flash of white light suddenly darted from beneath the table, heading straight for the Five People. Immediately, five different cries of anguish rang out, followed by the sight of the Five People being sent flying deep into the second floor, along with countless tables and chairs.
By the time everyone realized what had happened, there was no sign of any abnormality. Zhang Yuru continued to gaze at the tea in her bowl, while two magical beasts under the table continued to enjoy their food, seemingly unaffected by the earlier incident.
The commotion drew the attention of the Young Master, who was still inside seeking amusement. He was startled at first but then pushed open the door and stepped out. At this moment, only seven of the more than ten guards he had brought remained; six had already positioned themselves behind him, while one continued to sit at a nearby table, drinking and eating. Standing beside the Young Master were five young women who looked pale and disheveled.
Just as the Young Master emerged, another fight broke out. This time, it was not the guards who attacked but rather the mounts of the four guards that had just been knocked away by xp. Among those mounts, only one was a Fourth Rank Manatee; the others were all Third Rank magical beasts.
Upon sensing that their master was in danger, the four mounts rushed forward. However, their efforts were in vain. Moreover, these four magical beasts returned much faster than they had charged in.
In a flash, all four beasts of varying sizes were sent flying back by xp once again. One beast even struck the room where the Young Master had been sitting, causing the five young women who had not come out to be so frightened that they all ran to stand beside him.
xp acted first based on Liu Guanfeng's orders. Liu Guanfeng had instructed xp to follow Zhang Yuru for her protection and said: "If Zhang Yuru encounters any danger, regardless of its severity, you must strike with full force and ensure she is not harmed in any way." Therefore, when several burly men attempted to attack earlier, xp took action without hesitation and showed no mercy. If there was any mercy shown, it was that xp left those people and beasts with their lives; however, they would need at least three to five months of rest before they could recover.
Seeing his injured subordinates lying on the ground, the Young Master was furious. His peach blossom eyes widened as he glared across the room. When he saw Zhang Yuru at the table opposite him, all his anger dissipated upon gazing at her beauty. The Young Master pushed aside one of the terrified women beside him and straightened his clothes before walking over slowly. When he reached Guo Sheng, who lay on the ground moaning in pain, he kicked Guo Sheng's backside: "You dog servant! Did I not tell you to invite this lady? How could you be so rude?"
The Young Master quickly stepped forward to Zhang Yuru's table and bowed deeply: "This lady is honored. I am Guo Yunhua, the young master of New Home Chamber of Commerce. I have come here accompanying my father to visit friends. My subordinate has offended you unintentionally; may I ask if you would allow me to treat you to a meal as an apology?"
Zhang Yuru glanced at Guo Yunhua before looking at her teacup and sighed lightly: "Why are there so many dogs in this restaurant? It's quite bothersome. I have no mood for anything now. Sister Xuan, xp, let’s go home."
Pushing her teacup away from her table, Zhang Yuru stood up and prepared to leave the restaurant.
