Bab 54: Chapter 54: It's Really Flat [Bonus Chapter]
...
In front of this shop, Zeng Yi used to stand in this long queue, eating kebabs while waiting for his turn. He also saw the people in front of him, after drinking the Hundred Flower Nectar, with an intoxicated and fascinated expression on their faces, leaving while swaying, resembling a drunk person.
Is it really that delicious?
Zeng Yi couldn't help but wonder.
Sniffing the seductive and mellow aroma lingering in the air, Zeng Yi was becoming more and more eager to taste the Hundred Flower Nectar.
Passersby were also attracted by the strong floral fragrance, but the price of one gold soul coin for a cup made them hesitate. Although the standard of living in Suotuo City was high, the expense of one gold soul coin was indeed too great. They could only deeply inhale the rich fragrance and leave reluctantly.
After waiting for about half an hour, it was finally Zeng Yi's turn.
The shop had a large interior space, with an area of over a hundred square meters. The decoration inside was elegant, with small bridges and flowing water, giving it a stylish atmosphere. However, there were no seats to accommodate guests inside the shop. There was only a table placed in front of the shop door with a jade tray on it, and next to it was a sandalwood box with exquisite floral patterns carved on it, but it was actually used to hold money. Truly a wealthy person, so exquisite.
Two young girls in green clothes stood in front of the table, their matching appearances youthful and beautiful. Inside the shop, there was a row of bead curtains separating the middle area, where a woman in white sat cross-legged playing the zither. Her face was covered with a translucent veil, making it difficult for Zeng Yi to see her face clearly, but it had a hazy and beautiful feeling, as if she were a celestial being in the mortal realm.
Is this the daughter of the Lord of Suotuo City, Bai Yueqiong? The arrangement is really elegant!
Zeng Yi sighed inwardly.
Rich people really know how to enjoy themselves!
"You are quite lucky, young master. This is the last cup of Hundred Flower Nectar. It just happened to be your turn." One of the green-clothed girls saw Zeng Yi's handsome appearance, long hair, and sword hanging by his side, dressed like a swordsman with a calm and indifferent temperament. She felt a strong liking for Zeng Yi and sweetly smiled at him.
Yes, she was biased towards good looks. So what?
Zeng Yi's gaze fell on the jade tray on the table, with only one small white jade cup inside, containing pink-tinged floral nectar. It seemed that this was the Hundred Flower Nectar.
He couldn't deny that his luck was really good! He caught the last chance.
"Please pay the money first." The other green-clothed girl said indifferently. Her face was quite cold, forming a sharp contrast to the previous girl. This reminded Zeng Yi of Zhu Zhuqing, but Zhu Zhuqing seemed even colder, as if it was deeply ingrained in her bones.
"Also, you don't need to queue anymore! Today's quota is already full, you can leave now." The cold girl peered outside at the crowd and said in a low voice.
"What? It's already sold out!"
"Sigh, there's no other choice, we'll have to come next time!"
"This is already the umpteenth time I haven't been able to get!"
...
Those who didn't get in muttered discontentedly for a while and then left one after another. Although the shop's attitude was not good, nobody dared to cause trouble. After all, their background was there, and few people in Suotuo City could compare to it. Moreover, this situation had happened before, and they were already used to it.
However, there was one person in the crowd who didn't leave and stared at them angrily.
When has Ning Rongrong endured such treatment? She had finally come to Suotuo City to play after running away from the academy, and when she saw this shop with a long queue, she curiously joined the line and waited for so long. Now they were telling her it was sold out and asking her to leave? What about the time she wasted?
"Wait a minute! What's going on with your shop? I've been waiting for so long, and now you want me to leave?" Ning Rongrong walked up quickly, displeased, and said to the two green-clothed girls.
Zeng Yi also turned his head to look after hearing her voice. It was a short-haired girl of the same age, with delicate features and an angry expression on her face, but it didn't diminish her beauty at all. She even looked a bit cute and spoiled.
"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a beautiful girl before?" Seeing Zeng Yi staring at her, Ning Rongrong glared at him fiercely and scolded him.
Being called out like that, Zeng Yi couldn't help but find it amusing. He didn't expect this girl to have such a fierce temperament.
"Indeed, I've never seen such a flat beauty before." Zeng Yi retorted.
At first, Ning Rongrong was puzzled, but then she realized what his words meant.
"Hooligan! Where did you see that I'm flat? Are you blind? Look carefully at me! Am I flat?" Ning Rongrong wasn't shy at all; instead, she straightened her chest and spoke arrogantly.
This girl's reaction surprised Zeng Yi, as he hadn't expected girls nowadays to be so fierce. It was quite crazy!
He admitted that the girl was indeed not flat, but compared to the beautiful women he had seen, like Kali and Xiao Zhu, there was no comparison.
"Indeed, very flat."
Since she asked him to look, Zeng Yi didn't hold back at all. He crossed his arms over his chest, carefully gazed at the girl's chest, and nodded with certainty. His gaze also glanced at the two green-clothed girls next to her, implying that she couldn't compare to them.
Zeng Yi's behavior made Ning Rongrong feel embarrassed. She didn't expect this person to have no shame at all and actually stared at her like that while telling blatant lies.
"Hmph, your eyes are truly blind!" Ning Rongrong looked at the man in front of her disdainfully, saying coldly. Then she looked at the two green-clothed girls and said rudely, "I don't care about anything else, but today I must taste the Hundred Flower Nectar after waiting for such a long time. Otherwise, my time will have been wasted. And if not, you'll regret it."
Regarding Ning Rongrong's threat, the two green-clothed girls sneered. In Suotuo City, who could threaten them? This person probably hadn't figured out the situation.
Seeing the girl's behavior, Zeng Yi was also surprised. Could she also be a powerful noble? Or maybe she was an outsider like him who hadn't learned about the rules here?
"Um... Are you from out of town?" Zeng Yi kindly reminded the girl.
"So what if I am?" Ning Rongrong replied.
"This shop is opened by the daughter of the Lord of Suotuo City!" Zeng Yi warned the girl.
After hearing this, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but laugh. What did she think it was? So it turned out that there was the power of the Lord of Suotuo City behind this shop. But compared to her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, were they worth mentioning?
"So what? Forget about the daughter of a city lord; even the Lord of Suotuo City himself is not worth enough in front of me!" Ning Rongrong said with an arrogant expression and a touch of pride in her eyebrows.
Zeng Yi was surprised by her tone. The person who dared to say such words must have come from a powerful background. The two green-clothed girls also showed anger on their faces. However, the woman in white playing the zither in the shop continued to elegantly produce melodious music, seemingly unaffected.
"This is outrageous..." The gentle girl, who was the owner of this shop, became furious but was stopped by the cold girl who covered her mouth with her hand.
Although the cold girl's face revealed anger, she still maintained her composure. If someone who knew their identities dared to speak such words, then their power must be formidable. It would be wise not to provoke them.
"Sorry! This is already the last cup, and it has been bought by this young master." She said lightly, making her intentions clear. If she wanted some, she should look for Zeng Yi; they had none available.
Hey hey hey, you dare not provoke them, but don't try to deceive me like this?
Hearing her words, Zeng Yi instantly felt unhappy. They were trying to shift the blame onto him!
"Oh, is that so?"
Ning Rongrong cast a glance at Zeng Yi beside her, and the corner of her mouth curled up involuntarily.
You dared to make advances towards me just now, so now I'll snatch what belongs to you and make you angry.
Ning Rongrong thought to herself. She noticed that Zeng Yi was shocked by her previous words and concluded that this person wouldn't dare to challenge her, haha.
