"Heheh! Butler Heng Wu, give us a dish that I haven't yet decrypted!" Fei Liquan immediately told the old butler this, which the latter nodded to and swiftly disappeared with a flash.

Ssuu!!

The reason why he requested a dish that he had not decrypted yet, was because all dish could only be decrypted once per stage!

In other words, if the first stage was already decrypted, when the guests wanted to decrypt the same dish the next time, they could only decrypt the following stage; which is the second stage and so on!

Therefore, this prevents the guests from abusing the decryption method system to continuously get discounts from the same dish over and over again. Still, what the Seven Saints Culinary does not lack was varieties of dishes, and a single dish could be cooked in more than 5 different ways - which was how Meng Yue in the past had almost threw the entire restaurant into an extreme financial deficit!

Some short moments later, Heng Wu returned with their food floating all around him and gently placed them on the table in front of everyone whom ordered it accordingly with a flick of his fingers!

Ssuu!!

"Woaaahh!!" everyone began to salivate intensely once they smelled those crisps and alluring aroma coming out from each other's food, and couldn't wait to dig in.

The table settings was also exquisitely selected too, making it apparent that each dish has its own unique way of eating them.

They were truly impressed by these and when they thought about it, no wonder the prices were so astronomical!

"The dish for the bet will be finished sometime later on as it will take a bit of a time to prepare.. but don't worry about it, the costs will be on the house!" Heng Wu said with a smile.

Both Duan Li and Fei Liquan nodded at this, thinking that it was something normal. But, Meng Yue frowned as she found this to be weird.

'The Seven Saints Culinary has never once treated its guests before.. especially when this is something private between two people of the younger generation.. what is with this occasion?' she thought.

Even with this young scion here, his influence was severely limited and there was no actual use in currying favor with him..

Hmm.

Was it because of my son when he took out that superior quality spirit stone previously?

Perhaps they thought his background was actually extraordinary? Well, they're not wrong on that though..

After all, even if it was me in their shoes, I would have to think twice at least so as to not offend Duan Li if I have no clue what sorts of existences was backing him!

This should be their way of expressing friendly gesture..

Nomnomnom!

Unable to take it any longer, everyone started to dig their way through their food and their facial expression as they eat was as if they had been starved for a month or two in the Blastwinter desert!

Overly exagerated reaction began to appear from each of them.

Shen Murong with his bulky stature began to sway his head left and right while he eats, as if he was on an epic journey atop of a giant ship, singing songs merrily towards a treasure island, this was the effect of consuming the Vermilion Wine Plateau dish!

Shen Lu by the side, was grinning from ear to ear while letting out 'huehuehue' snicker in an eery manner, as if he had encountered some sort of a paradise after eating a mouthful of the soft and juicy rib-eye steak from the Reversed Yang Reindeer meat.

Wang Xiolun on the other hand, after eating the Fermented Royal Burger that was derived from the hundred years old fermented royal cheese, was just nodding his head continuously like a chicken pecking through the ground at a rapid speed, reminiscent of what Cucko would always do in its free time while murmurring 'so good!' once in a while.

Meanwhile, Xiahou Yu felt as if she was being surrounded by an unlimited number of fried chickens that was cooked in a thousand different ways, its taste exploded simultaneously onto her tastebuds, making her ascend the Heavens after eating this crispy masterpiece of a chicken drumstick called the Thousand Taste of Thousand Heavens!

Then, when she ate the Dragon-Seeking rice, her entire face and skin began to glow pure white-like milk, exposing her delicate blood-vessels underneath. After the glow dissipate, her skin had become so much more smoother that it was comparable to that of a baby! The same phenomena seemed to happened to Xu Rong as well after she ate her portion of the Dragon-Seeking rice.

Xu Rong also ordered a dish of her own though, and it was from the 'Super Diet' section of the menu, literally named as "Eat without getting fat!". It was made from the multitude combination of premium-grade meat that contained a lot of fats from different source of animals, just that the special herbs used in this dish, the 'Three-Clovers Ginseng' has the properties to dissolve all those fats into spiritual Qi after consumption!

Although she tried to maintain her lady-like air, after putting the food inside her mouth, her body could not help but to tremble intensely as her face instantly warped into the face of a glutton devil! Like a hungry wolf, she began to devour each meat with her bare hands!

Wei Shang and Wei Wang both ordered the Emerald Leaf Coated Salmon Sushi. As soon as this piece of sushi entered their mouth, it was as if they themselves had suddenly turned into the salmon fish, marvelling through the great ocean of the far West region in the Xueming Sea.

Next was Fei Longwei, the food that he ordered was called the Four Flavors Of the Four Seasons; a piece of tender loin the size of a grown man's palm, quite small but within it, encassed the taste of all 4 different seasons of Summer, Spring, Autumn and Winter! Which meant that, no matter in what season one would eat this meat, they would feel themselves to be in perfect harmony with nature, causing them to be like that billowing leaves joyriding through all the 4 seasons at once!

Guo He lastly, was pretty much knocked out at this moment. As it turns out, this fellow had ordered the Spicy Noodles of the Red Sea, which was arguably the most spiciest dish ever in the whole menu that the Seven Saints Culinary has! Heng Wu had already warned him that this dish was not meant for the faint hearted, but the latter still insisted and even went so far as to called himself as the 'spicy food lover number one' and the result was as everyone saw; he was the fastest man to be knocked out after eating a single spoonfed of this spicy noodle!

What a waste!

Meng Yue on the other hand, amidst all these chaotic rivers of reactions around her, was pretty much just closing both of her eyes tightly and meditated as she waited for her Dominion King Lobster dish patiently. She firmly believed that her son would unquestionably win the bet against the retarded Fei Liquan sitting opposite of her right now.

After all, her son has some special abilities that originated from the mysterious pearl that even she was jealous of!

"Hahaha! Their reactions after eating their food was similar to my household pets that got some expensive food after being adopted by me for the first time!" Fei Liquan laughed as he shook his head.

It was only fortunate that Duan Li's followers were not listening to what he just said as they were busy enjoying their food, or else he would really get pummeled by them for real this time.

Duan Li stared at the food in front of him intensely and activated his tetra soul sense.

Huu!!

[High quality food detected. Analysing.]

[Analysis complete. Indexing in progress..]

[Food breakdowns: Meat type..]

[Ingredients used: ..]

Listening to this voice inside his head listing out each ingredients used in the dish down to its finest details, Duan Li chuckled to himself.

"As expected!" he said subconsciously.

"Eh? What's expected? Are you admitting defeat?" Fei Liquan whom heard this asked teasingly with a haughty smile.

"Nothing ahaha, let me eat first." Duan Li replied as he swiftly threw side glances towards everyone's food before digging into his own food with an elated mood.

Slurrppp!

"Delicious!" Duan Li said out loud with both his eyes turning into stars.

This Golden Noodles made from the natural wheat of one of the danger zone was so smooth and rich in taste! Even the broth was utterly fantastic and was in equilibrium with the noodles itself, complimenting each other's taste!

Coming from the remote corner of the Xuan Village, as they practiced the frugal life, Duan Li had never once tried the taste of an expensive food before!

To think that it would taste this good! No wonder the rest of them had such an exagerated expressions!

Huehuehue!

...

After a long while..

"Ahh.. my stomach feels so bloated.. I might throw up at this rate!" Shen Lu said as he rest his chin on the table with a satisfied look.

The rest of Duan Li's party also had some similar contentment on their faces and suddenly, Xiahou Yu that was rubbing her tummy couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise, "Hmm? My Qi cycle had increased dramatically!"

"Eh? Me as well!" the rest followed suit as they felt the same kind of sensation inside their body.

Not only was their Qi cycle increased by quite a fair bit, even their rate of absorption was reinforced, and their bodily cells were filled with a seemingly abundant source of energy such that, they felt they could even fight for days without exhausting their strength!

Heng Wu nodded to their reactions as he explained, "Those are from the effects of the food you guys eat. In hindsight, the effects would be similar to when eating pills. However, the effects brought upon by such pills would at best be temporary and short. Meanwhile, the effects from high quality food would last much longer due to its content being absorbed into your body as nutrition naturally and has a very low chance of permanently increasing your innate potential as well!"

Meng Yue whom had already known this chuckled, "This is why I love eating at this restaurant back then, it helps my cultivation speed to rose quickly because of these effects!"

"Haha.." Heng Wu laughed awkwardly, and thought, 'You also helped us nearly becoming bankrupt as well..'

Ting!

"Ah, that should be the food for you two, please wait for a moment!" Heng Wu said.

Ssuu!!

After a short while, the old butler returned with two sets of identical dish on both of his hands.

"This here is the Premium Grapevine Fruit Icecream as your dessert and here is the tenderloin of a Horned-bull Flying Sheep!"

'Horned-bull Flying Sheep?!

That alone already costs 10 high quality spirit stones! Easily reaching the top 20 of the most expensive dish in this restaurant! Are they really giving those food for free?' Meng Yue questioned this inwardly with suspicious eyes.

"Haha! This is perfect! With this dish, even my supreme prowess in food decryption method would be significantly handicapped! This would be your chance to.."

Before Fei Liquan could finish his sentence, a resounding 'pa!' could already be heard as a casual slap was thrown to his cheek by Meng Yue sitting from opposite of him.

"Do you believe that if you speak another single sentence of nonsense that I would beat you up to half-death? Even with your Fei Clan as your background, I would still dare to slap the a*s of your clan head should he come here to back you up. Do you want to try?" Meng Yue said with a frosty tone.

"..." Everyone.

Yes!! Thank you for slapping him!

"I..I.. okay.." Fei Liquan for the first time in his life experienced mindblocked in his train of thought. Never before he had expected that he would get slapped twice today by the same person.

"Butler Heng Wu, what would happen if someone could continuously decrypt food after food?" Duan Li asked.

"Hmm? That would be called as.. Decryption combo!"
