Chapter 763 The Spirit Cat Hotel
The Lingmao Hotel is located in Shrek City. It is a century-old hotel, but it is quite far from Shrek Academy, in the city behind the academy.
Following the map, Ye Nanxiao floated on the ice floes for a while, and then he could vaguely see the logo of the Lingmao Hotel among a cluster of buildings.
"Good heavens, no wonder the disciple on duty told me to bring a map. This five-story hotel is really hard to find without looking carefully."
Upon closer inspection, the Lingmao Hotel looked more like a villa, with an overall dark color scheme. If it weren't for the large iron gate and the Lingmao Hotel logo on the roof, Ye Nanxiao would have had to knock on the door and ask.
Several men dressed in waiter's uniforms stood at the door. Upon seeing Ye Nanxiao, they immediately stepped forward to open the door and respectfully said, "Young Master Ye, my young lady has been waiting for quite some time!"
Ye Nanxiao silently nodded to the waiters, then reached into his pocket and realized he didn't have an invitation.
He had only verbally arranged a meal with the Zhu sisters, Zhu Wan and Zhu Lu, and originally thought it would be at a hotel in the city, but he didn't expect it to be this Lingmao Hotel. He even subconsciously thought that he had been invited to some banquet.
"Hey, I didn't get an invitation," Ye Nanxiao said.
Several waiters walked up to Ye Nanxiao and stood in two rows, bowing and extending their hands in disappointment. "We recognize you. You are a distinguished guest of the young lady. No invitation is needed. Please follow us."
An elderly waiter led Ye Nanxiao into the luxurious manor.
The manor's design was very close to nature, which made Ye Nanxiao repeatedly marvel at the Zhu family's wealth and power.
It took almost a quarter of an hour for the waiter to lead Ye Nanxiao out of the complex maze of corridors.
As Ye Nanxiao walked up to the second floor from the lobby, he immediately spotted the Zhu sisters.
Zhu Wan changed into a light blue cheongsam, which perfectly showcased her curves.
This gave Ye Nanxiao a bad feeling. Could this be a trap set by a treacherous master?
"Nanxiao, may I call you that?" Zhu Wan asked with a smile.
Ye Nanxiao nodded and was led to a seat in the hall.
Wearing a white dress, Zhu Lu sat next to Zhu Wan, puffing out her cheeks as she handled a bottle of wine that looked exceptionally expensive.
"It seems I'm in for a treat today with this top-quality wine from Shengluo Winery." Ye Nanxiao glanced at the aggrieved Zhu Lu, whose wine had once fetched a price of hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins per bottle.
Although Ye Nanxiao was not interested in wine, he was very interested in Gold Soul Coins.
"Let's celebrate our successful collaboration!" Zhu Wan took a wine glass and raised it to Ye Nanxiao.
Ye Nanxiao naturally raised his glass and gently clinked it with Zhu Wan's.
As melodious music filled the air, waiters brought out one exquisite dish after another.
"Nanxiao, I'm a little curious, why are you so interested in raising soul beasts?" Zhu Wan asked.
The purpose of raising spirit beasts is simply to obtain their specific spirit skills or special attributes.
What she was curious about was what kind of soul beast Ye Nanxiao had taken a fancy to and needed to keep as a pet.
"Silver Elite Beast, Heaven-Shaking Roar, Silver Wolf..." Ye Nanxiao listed several relatively rare soul beasts.
Zhu Wan's eyes widened slightly. "I didn't expect Nan Xiao to have such ambitious goals. Finding these soul beasts won't be easy!"
She recognized all the soul beasts listed by Ye Nanxiao; they were all rare and powerful soul beasts that were hard to find.
Especially the silver wolf, this kind of soul beast lives on the Sun and Moon Continent.
"My Zhu family has many recipes specially formulated for soul beasts. If you need them, Nanxiao, I can send one to the Tang Sect." Zhu Wan rested her cheek on one hand and swirled her wine glass with the other.
Staring at the man in front of her, Zhu Wan's gaze gradually became more dreamy.
What an alluring man.
Zhu Lu was biting into her top-quality steak, glancing at her sister every now and then. When she saw Zhu Wan's expression, her heart skipped a beat.
"Is my older sister really interested in Senior Ye? Should I run away?"
Ye Nanxiao took a bite of his steak, focusing intently on the top-quality ingredients in front of him.
He sensed Zhu Wan's little secret.
Anyone would feel uncomfortable if you stared at them without eating.
After enduring an awkward fifteen minutes, Ye Nanxiao decisively picked up the napkins on the table.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Patriarch Zhu. These ingredients are delicious. I still have matters to attend to in my sect..."
"Hmm, has Nanxiao finished eating?" Zhu Wan came to her senses and realized that she had been a bit rude, staring at him the whole time.
"Why don't we stay a little longer? According to the menu, not even half of the dishes have been served yet." Zhu Wan poured herself another glass of wine, then got up to pour wine for Ye Nanxiao herself.
Ye Nanxiao quickly held up his wine glass and accepted the drink.
Zhu Wan realized that staring at Ye Nanxiao would scare him away, so she started to change the subject and liven up the atmosphere.
"Nanxiao, you don't know, His Majesty was also mentioning your name before I came here. He said that if Xingluo had your assistance, it would definitely surpass the Sun and Moon Empire in a short time. Elder Luo also praised you." Zhu Wan said with a smile.
Ye Nanxiao gave a polite smile, thinking to himself, "Xu Jiujiu? She still wants to trick me into going with her?"
"I am honored by Your Majesty's favor. I am merely a small business owner who happened to be able to lend a hand. I am nothing special!" Ye Nanxiao said with a smile.
"If it were really a small business, Duke White Tiger wouldn't be interested. You're being too modest," Zhu Wan said, taking a small sip of her wine.
"My little skill was also appreciated by Patriarch Zhu, which shows that Patriarch Zhu's eye for talent is comparable to that of Duke Baihu. They are both so excellent," Ye Nanxiao replied, raising his glass.
"Thank you for your praise, Nanxiao. I am just a weak woman and naturally cannot be compared with Duke Baihu. I would like to thank you again for choosing my Zhu family. Zhu Wan toasts you."
Zhu Wan picked up her wine glass, slowly stood up, raised it to Ye Nanxiao from afar, and then drank the wine in one gulp.
Ye Nanxiao's friendship with Duke Baihu was common knowledge among the Star Luo noble class. He also had a relationship with the Dai family, who were inheritors of the soul beast breeding technology. However, Ye Nanxiao did not choose to trade or cooperate with them, but instead befriended the Zhu family.
This was undoubtedly a great achievement for the Zhu family, helping Zhu Wan to further solidify her position as the head of the family.
Therefore, Zhu Wan's toast to this drink was sincere.
Ye Nanxiao also downed his drink in one gulp and returned the greeting.
As for why the Zhu family was chosen instead of the Dai family, the reason is actually quite simple.
When Ye Nanxiao had this idea, Zhu Lu happened to be standing in front of him. When Dai Huabin heard Ye Nanxiao's idea of wanting soul beast breeding technology, his mind didn't even start working. He was still thinking about how to train to defeat Huo Yuhao.
Since Zhu Lu was interested in cooperation, they chose the Zhu family.
I wonder if Duke Baihu will hang Dai Huabin from a tree and whip him when he finds out about this.
The meal lasted for more than an hour, during which Ye Nanxiao either ate meat in silence or responded to Zhu Wan's toasts.
The latest novel is first published here!
Zhu Lu took the wine brought by the waiter again, skillfully opened the bottle, and poured the wine.
She counted the bottles at her feet; there were already eight empty bottles.
"Sister, did you drink too much today? Were you too happy? You're usually lucky if you can drink one bottle."
In her memory, Zhu Wan never drank more than ten cups of wine, no matter the occasion, even at banquets hosted by the royal family.
"Could it be that this collaboration really makes my sister that happy?"
Zhu Lu had a lot of questions in her little head, but she was only responsible for pouring the wine at this feast, so she didn't need to think about so many things.
"call!"
Ye Nanxiao swallowed half a cup of wine and let out a long breath.
"Is this the ninth bottle of wine? Why is this woman still drinking? Is she an alcoholic?"
Zhu Wan had two rosy cheeks and her beautiful eyes were a little hazy. Perhaps she had drunk too much and felt her body temperature rising. She unbuttoned three buttons at the top of her collar, revealing her delicate collarbone and proud cleavage.
"What amazing charisma! Why does Ye Nanxiao always give me such an alluring feeling!" Zhu Wan thought to herself.
Ye Nanxiao exuded a unique charm in her eyes. His speech was mature and elegant, his jokes were always appropriate, and his topics and conversations were always just right. All of this attracted Zhu Wan.
When the ninth bottle of wine was finished, Ye Nanxiao took his leave.
Zhu Wan glanced at the clock on the wall not far away and realized that the meal had taken up so much time.
She quickly got up, but bumped into the table.
The wine glass beside her wobbled precariously from the impact, and the crimson wine and the cyan cheongsam might not produce a pleasing result.
Zhu Wan was somewhat dazed. Despite being a Soul Saint, she watched helplessly as the wine glass spilled onto her expensive cheongsam, unable to react in time.
"It seems that Patriarch Zhu is in a very good mood today and has inadvertently drunk too much."
Ye Nanxiao waved his hand, and a small patch of frost appeared on the table, freezing the wine glass that was about to tip over.
Zhu Wan's face seemed to flush even more as she smiled and stared at Ye Nanxiao. "Thank you, Nanxiao."
Zhu Wan personally escorted Ye Nanxiao to the main gate, whereupon the latter quickly bowed and said, "Patriarch Zhu, please wait!"
Standing at the gate, watching Ye Nanxiao leave, Zhu Wan didn't know to go back and stood quietly at the gate.
"Sister, you're mesmerized."
Zhu Lu walked to Zhu Wan's side and spoke softly.
"Little Lu'er, he's really amazing! I finally know what a handsome young man is! Compared to Nan Xiao, all those rich playboys who used to chase after me are just rich playboys!" Zhu Wan said, her voice filled with barely suppressed excitement.
"But sister..." Zhu Lu frowned.
Zhu Wan reached out and pressed her hand to Zhu Lu's lips, laughing, "Little Lu'er, I know what you want to say. It's nothing more than that Nan Xiao already has a girlfriend, but that's not a big deal. He won't refuse having multiple wives and concubines."
"Sister, didn't I take on the position of head of the family in the first place precisely for the sake of freedom in marriage?"
"And for some reason, my sister was even more excited knowing he had a girlfriend!"
Zhu Lu raised an eyebrow, as if she had discovered something extraordinary.
Meanwhile, Ye Nanxiao, back at the Tang Clan, rubbed his slightly full stomach. He intended to go back to his little nest to take a nap, but instead found his beloved wife in the living room.
Jiang Nannan, dressed in a silk nightgown, smiled and stared at Ye Nanxiao, saying, "I heard you were invited to a romantic lunch?"
At this moment, only five words were in Ye Nanxiao's mind.
"They're collecting the grain tax!"
