A person and a cat leaned against the window, watching the bustling scene outside. Merchants and vendors came and went in an endless stream. The goods were good, but too expensive, basically two or three times more expensive than in smaller places.
On the other side, they savored the food on the table. One bite was crispy, another was soft and tender. The roast duck left a lingering fragrance on their lips and teeth, and the pastries were refreshing and invigorating.
"The food in the Heaven Dou Empire is indeed exquisite, much better than that in the Star Luo Empire, but the portions are a bit smaller, not as generous and filling!"
Tianyu savored the flavors, while the old man, who didn't like pastries, grabbed a Qibao roast duck and swallowed it whole, his mouth greasy from the food.
This barbaric way of eating immediately attracted the disdain of those around. Those who could enter Qibao Restaurant to eat were either nobles or wealthy merchants.
Moreover, most of them are Soul Masters, but their Soul Power fluctuations are generally weak. They are almost all pampered and spoiled, but have very bad tempers.
"Where did this country bumpkin come from?"
"Since when can pets eat at the table? Especially a low-blooded orange cat like this!"
"Stop talking. They have a little money to squander, but do you think they can go out eating and drinking every day like us?"
Some people scoffed, some chuckled, but Tianyu remained silent, only looking at the octogenarian in front of him, who was poised to strike and whose head was gradually rounding, just about to give a signal with his eyes.
Just then, a girl with long silver hair, a gentle temperament, clear eyes, and wearing a light blue princess dress gave a soft shout.
"They might be here for the first time, don't make fun of them like that!"
"Have you forgotten the aristocratic etiquette and manners taught by Teacher Tang Yuehua?"
"This is Princess Xue Ke..."
"I can't believe I got to see Princess Xueke today!"
Upon seeing that the newcomer was Princess Xue Ke of the Tian Dou royal family, everyone immediately changed their expressions.
He stood up straight, eating with great care, deliberately displaying aristocratic manners.
Tianyu was slightly taken aback. The girl in front of him had an innate aristocratic elegance. Every smile and frown was very natural, without a trace of coquettishness or affectation.
"Xue Ke? The younger sister of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe in the original story..." Tianyu thought to himself, nodding slightly.
"Wow, this little orange cat is so special! It doesn't have ears, and its head is so round and cute!"
Round-headed old man: "?"
"Hello, my name is Xue Ke, what's your name? I apologize to you on their behalf!"
Xue Ke smiled gently and politely, her eyes filled with a pure and clear quality.
She didn't directly touch the old man, but instead sought Tianyu's permission first. Then, she picked up the blue and white princess dress with both hands, touched the ground with her front foot, and took a step back, performing a noble etiquette.
“My name is Li Feiyu, and her name is Maodie. She is also my partner, so I'm sorry, you can't touch her.”
Tianyu said seriously, "Because a round-headed old man isn't someone anyone can touch. If he breathes out a breath, he might scare the young girl to death."
He might have really exploded on the spot. Seeing that Tianyu rejected her, Princess Xueke looked a little disappointed, but she didn't show it directly.
"What do you mean? It's just a cat, and you won't even let me touch it!"
"How ungrateful of you..."
"Princess Xueke, if you wish, we can catch all the beautiful cats in the Heavenly Dou Imperial City for you!"
"That country bumpkin, what kind of good cat could he possibly keep? Humph~"
Princess Xueke was about to say something when she turned her head and her eyes lit up. She walked over quickly, her feet light on the ground, like a little swan.
"This is..." Tianyu frowned, seemingly recognizing who the newcomer was.
"Brother~"
"Xiao Ke! You've been naughty again today!"
"No, Your Majesty... Ke'er did a great thing today!"
Princess Xueke bowed, then rushed over, took the person's arm, and said in a coquettish tone.
The newcomer was of noble birth, with a handsome and gentle face. Her sword-like eyebrows were relaxed and not sharp, yet she possessed a unique aura. She was none other than Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.
"Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince..." The people around him hurriedly bowed, afraid of neglecting the proper etiquette.
Just when everyone thought that His Highness the Crown Prince would allow everyone to get up safely, Xue Qinghe sneered, a ruthless glint in his eyes:
"Those who were just whispering and laughing, drag them all out and give them fifty lashes each!"
"As for the crime, it's disrespecting this Crown Prince..." After saying that, the guard behind Xue Qinghe nodded.
They dragged all the people away, and a moment later, painful screams could be heard from the other side.
"Brother...wasn't the punishment too harsh?" Princess Xueke thought Xue Qinghe was standing up for her.
Little did she know, Xue Qinghe's eyes were practically drooling with anxiety. She stared at the dazed man in front of her, fearing he might leave her again.
A moment later, Xue Qinghe suddenly clenched his fist and said angrily:
"No need to hit anymore..."
Princess Xueke chuckled, thinking that her brother had let them go.
Unexpectedly, Xue Qinghe added another sentence:
"Let them all be executed!"
Chapter 78 The Crown Prince's Invitation, The Fallen Angel!
In fact, the moment Tianyu stepped into the Heavenly Dou Imperial City...
Qian Renxue immediately received the news and rushed to the scene without hesitation.
Her loyal subordinates were already stationed in every corner of the Heavenly Dou Imperial City, and would immediately report if they saw anyone who even slightly resembled the person in the portrait.
"I've gained a little weight, but that's good... I'm more muscular now!"
Beneath Xue Qinghe's cold yet gentle face, Qian Renxue's cheeks were already flushed.
My long and arduous life as a miner can finally come to an end.
"Brother Crown Prince...you said you want to execute them. Isn't this punishment too harsh? You must think it over!"
The naive Princess Xueke thought that Qianrenxue had punished her with such a death sentence because of her, so she grabbed her brother's arm and hurriedly tried to persuade him.
"Yes, her crime doesn't warrant death. So Xue Qinghe really dotes on Xue Ke? Does he truly treat her like a younger sister?"
Tianyu nodded slightly, thinking to himself that Qian Renxue did indeed treat Xueke as her own sister in the original work, which was also a gentle side of her in a way.
Qian Renxue was about to shake off Tianyu's arm, but when she saw Tianyu nod slightly, she was stunned. As if she had made a connection to something, she gasped.
"Oh no, was I being too harsh? If I leave such a bad impression, wouldn't that be letting that snake demon get away with it!"
"and many more..."
"Does my husband not have memories of his past life? Otherwise, why would he be so wary?"
this...
It was so good!
"Hehe~ Watch how I, Qian Renxue, discipline you. Then I'll make sure you, Dugu Yan, are all anxious and helpless!"
"How dare you steal the 'Heartbreak Red' flower that my husband gave me! Humph!"
Thinking of this, Qian Renxue gradually became excited, then shook her head and chuckled. She simply snapped her fingers, and the guards stopped the punishment.
"Let them go... Consider this a small punishment from me, the Crown Prince. Now quickly apologize to Princess Xueke on behalf of that friend!"
A moment later, several guards dragged several people up, who were in great pain and had lost their previous noble demeanor. Their buttocks were covered in yellow and red welts.
Tianyu: "Is there anything else I need to do?"
hope...
Don't let those noble young men hold a grudge, or it will cause too much trouble later.
Tianyu thought to himself with emotion that after those people apologized, they were dragged out again to prevent them from polluting the place.
"This humble one is Li Feiyu. I greet Your Highness the Crown Prince. I am deeply grateful for your help this time!" Tianyu said, clasping his hands in a gesture of respect.
"Oh, so your name is Li Feiyu. It's nothing, just a small matter~" Qian Renxue's lips curled up slightly.
"How about this? Consider today's events my way of apologizing to you on behalf of those noble sons."
"I, the Crown Prince, invite you to my Crown Prince Palace, where there are many delicious dishes. This will serve as an apology."
Qian Renxue chuckled to herself, deciding to abduct someone.
“Brother…” Princess Xueke was taken aback. Why did her brother seem different? Could this young man, who was involved with Li Feiyu, possess some extraordinary ability?
Is it worth it for the dignified Crown Prince of the Heavenly Dou Royal Family to personally deign to invite him?
"This..." Tianyu hesitated. In the original work, Qian Renxue did recruit genius soul masters, but this was too enthusiastic!
not to mention...
It seems Tianyu hasn't made a move yet.
Wait, could it be that...?
Tianyu gasped, seemingly realizing something.
"What? Young brother, are you unwilling to give this Crown Prince face?" Qian Renxue feigned anger.
"In that case, I, Li, will accept your offer without hesitation!"
“Brother, Xueke is going too…” Princess Xueke suddenly interjected.
Qian Renxue: "?"
"By the way, thank you also for Princess Xueke's help earlier," Tianyu nodded.
Qian Renxue sighed deeply. Since that was the case, she had no choice but to take the light bulb with her.
Afterwards, Tianyu followed Qian Renxue and Princess Xueke into a luxurious carriage, with the old man jumping onto his shoulders, and they headed to the Crown Prince's palace together.
As for the cost of the meal, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, being a disciple of Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, naturally paid for it on his own.
Tianyu even managed to get a black card, which would allow him to eat for free at all restaurants and hotels under the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
This move made him extremely happy, and he immediately gave Crown Prince Xue Qinghe a very high score!
On the luxurious carriage...
