章 16: Chapter 15: Are You Lin Feng?
"Handling three to five big fellows?" Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, then burst into joy, laughing, "Hehe, isn't this even better than the special police?"
Qi Luyi almost spat blood and disdainfully said, "Look at you, what little ambition! Special police? They are just ordinary people put through inhuman training, at the end of the day, they're still ordinary! What you are cultivating is the 'Nine Revolutions Medical Classic,' a treasure that all cultivators in the Cultivation World aspire to acquire! Back in the days..."
As soon as Lin Feng heard Qi Luyi start to brag about the prowess of the 'Nine Revolutions Medical Classic,' his head began to ache, and he quickly said, "I'm starving with my stomach grumbling, let's go out and eat something first! We can talk more when we come back!"
"My soul is with you, so even if you go to eat, we can still talk!" Qi Luyi said with a sly laugh.
This time it was Lin Feng's turn to feel like spitting blood.
Lin Feng rented a place near a normal college, where there were many small eateries downstairs. It was dinner time, and Lin Feng headed to his usual spot, the Xiangshun Sichuan Cuisine Restaurant, and found a place to sit.
At this time, the Xiangshun Sichuan Cuisine Restaurant was crowded with people, with sounds of drinking and chatting intermingled throughout the small restaurant, making it extremely lively.
Lin Feng casually ordered a dish and some rice, since the money he earned was just barely enough to make ends meet.
"Ah, the food people eat nowadays, what is it really? Not only lacking in nutrition but also full of junk! Eating such stuff frequently only accumulates more impurities in the body, deteriorating the physique, no wonder people nowadays get sick easily and from such bizarre diseases! Even for those undergoing Cultivation, consuming this kind of food can harm their bodies and impede their Qi Cultivation," Qi Luyi sighed softly.
"Hey, old swindler, if you keep talking like this, am I even allowed to eat?"
"Hehe, don't worry, youngster! Ordinary cultivators might be affected by this junk food, but our mental method is different. It can refine various medicine pills that strengthen the expulsion of impurities in the body..."
Before Qi Luyi could finish, Lin Feng had already picked up the rice in front of him and began to eat voraciously.
"Damn..." Qi Luyi was speechless.
Lin Feng was anxious to go back to continue his cultivation after dinner, so he ate very fast, causing the two young girls at the next table to whisper quietly.
"Look at his eating manner, he must have not eaten for days! He's like a starving ghost reincarnated!" said the girl in a very short skirt.
The other girl, dressed in jeans and sporting a ponytail, looked like the girl-next-door and remarked, "Given his way of eating, he must have been starving for a long time! This restaurant is doomed today; I bet this guy is here to dine and dash!"
"Yeah, running a small business is hard enough without someone coming to pull a dine and dash!" said the girl in the very short skirt.
Though fashionably dressed, the two girls had a scholarly aura and clearly looked like students still in school.
The voices of the two girls were low, but Lin Feng, having just undergone a brief period of cultivation, heard everything clearly with his enhanced hearing. He couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking about how today's youth just love to mock others! He made up his mind to settle the bill in front of these two girls to show that he definitely wasn't eating for free!
"Boss, the check!" Lin Feng put down his chopsticks and called out loudly, deliberately glancing at the two girls at the neighboring table.
The two girls, drawn by Lin Feng's voice, couldn't help but look over.
"Coming!" A middle-aged woman with a smile approached, holding the bill, and cheerfully said to Lin Feng, "Sir, your total is twenty-one yuan!" After speaking, she handed the bill to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng took it, glanced at it, and nodded, "No problem," while reaching into his pocket. However, just as his hand slipped into his pocket, his smile faltered for a moment!
The experienced restaurant owner noticed his expression and silently wondered.
Lin Feng felt embarrassed, as he had only one pocket and it was utterly empty!
"Uh, just now after I showered and changed into new clothes, I forgot to bring my money…" Lin Feng felt that this reason was far-fetched, and others definitely wouldn't believe it, yet, it was indeed the truth.
Sometimes, the truth sounds no different from a lie.
The female owner maintained a smile, looking at Lin Feng, yet said nothing.
However, the two young girls nearby couldn't help but interject, "See? He really is a freeloader! You're an adult, can't you get a job and earn some money? Freeloading in such a small restaurant, how could you shamelessly do that!"
"Exactly! You're young and in good health, can't you find a job? Do you think it's easy to run a small restaurant? If every day there were people like you, should this restaurant even stay open?" the girl with the ponytail said.
"These young people nowadays are simply unreasonable!"
The two young girls took turns with their remarks, as if they had thoroughly seen through Lin Feng's situation, and in their words, they seemed to think they were much older than Lin Feng, referring to him as "these young people."
At this very moment, Lin Feng found himself at a loss for words, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into!
A meal worth a mere twenty-some bucks could ruin his reputation if word got out.
Contrary to Lin Feng's expectations, the female owner then spoke up for him, "Since you didn't bring money today, just bring it next time you come!"
Before Lin Feng could respond, the two young girls disagreed!
"Madame, he's just a freeloader, and you're letting him go just like that? Be careful he might just disappear and never return! Then the meal money will be a complete loss!" the girl with the ponytail pouted, clearly dissatisfied.
"Hehe, don't say that!" the owner said with a laugh. "This gentleman has often come to my restaurant, and he regularly patronizes my store. Although I don't know what he does for a living, I'm sure he isn't the kind to eat without paying! Besides, what era is it now? Who would risk their reputation over twenty bucks?"
With these words, the girl with the ponytail found herself at a loss for further comments, as it was the owner's restaurant, and if the owner herself didn't mind, what was the use in making a fuss?
The girl in the ultra-short skirt was visibly upset, opened her mouth to say something, but her companion gently tugged at her, causing her to swallow her words. However, she still glared fiercely at Lin Feng!
Lin Feng smiled wryly, but immediately said, "I'm really sorry, madam. I'll bring the money back to you as soon as I get home!"
The owner laughed, "There's no need to be so formal, sir. Just bring it over the next time you come to eat, there's no need to make a special trip just for this."
With the conversation having reached this point, Lin Feng had nothing more to add. He nodded, turned around, and left the Xiangshun Sichuan Restaurant.
It was already past nine, nearly ten o'clock, and by this time, there were not many people in the residential area. Occasionally a few couples passed by, embracing each other and whispering sweetly, displaying their affection.
Lin Feng, however, paid them no attention and headed straight towards the normal university's sports field.
The first level of the Nine Revolutions Medical Classic focuses on "Marrow Cleansing and Bone Fortification," so apart from sitting meditation for Qi Cultivation, one also needed to practice Body Refinement, and in an urban environment, the best place for that was naturally a school, especially at such a late hour. The field, mostly empty except for a few exercising students, wouldn't draw attention even if he practiced more intensely.
Just as Lin Feng was walking towards the sports field of the normal university, suddenly four men burst from an alley!
Each of these men had a cigarette clamped between their lips, blocking Lin Feng's path.
One of them, who appeared to be the leader, gave Lin Feng a cold look and then asked menacingly, "Are you Lin Feng?"
(The new book has been signed, hehe, changed the title a bit, hope everyone continues to support!)
