Chapter 129 The Lively Jiubao Restaurant
"I'm just asking you, are you going to give it to me or not?"
Elder Xuan's voice was cold and hard, and he did not show any powerful aura, but this question alone made the teacher in charge's clothes soaked with cold sweat.
Although Elder Ma was still unwilling to give up the Sword of Judgment, it ended up in Elder Xuan's hands under Elder Xuan's strong influence.
After accepting the Sword of Judgment, Elder Xuan snorted coldly and led the Shrek group back to the Star Luo Grand Hotel to rest.
The enthusiastic atmosphere in Xingluo Square lasted for several hours before the crowds gradually dispersed, thanks to the efforts of tens of thousands of soldiers to maintain order.
"Knock knock knock".
Huo Yuhao, who was meditating, was interrupted by a knock on the door. He exhaled and ended his meditation.
During the finals, Huo Yuhao's mental energy was severely depleted. First, the aftershocks of the explosion wiped out 30% of Huo Yuhao's soul power. Later, when Meng Hongchen made his move, Huo Yuhao used all of his remaining mental energy to activate the Soul Impact as a precaution.
It's important to know that a Soul Master can't just mobilize as much power as they want. Mobilizing too much Soul Power at once can damage the meridians due to excessive pressure, while mobilizing too much Mental Power at once can cause fainting.
Fortunately, Huo Yuhao had started gathering his strength the moment he saw Meng Hongchen's actions, which prevented him from fainting due to the excessive mental energy he had released at once.
Even so, Huo Yuhao could barely stand up straight when the team battle ended, but he managed to keep up by sheer willpower and not show any abnormality.
Sure enough, as soon as the competition ended and Huo Yuhao returned to the hotel, he immediately went to his room to meditate and recover his mental energy.
I never expected someone to knock on my door at this time.
Let me think. To be able to knock on the door so precisely at the moment when my mental strength is about to be fully restored, the person outside the door must be Wang Dong, right?
After all, Huo Yuhao had overdrawn his mental energy a lot at school, and only Wang Dong could accurately know how long it would take him to recover his mental energy.
Instead of using his mental detection, Huo Yuhao pushed the door open directly.
Pushing open the door, what came into view was indeed that head of short, light blue hair.
A faint smile appeared on Huo Yuhao's face: "Is there something you need?"
"The competition is over, and Teacher Wang and the others are planning to take us to Jiubao Restaurant to celebrate. We're waiting for you now."
Jiubao Restaurant?
As the sky outside gradually darkened, Huo Yuhao recalled the original plot and realized that this part was not included.
Indeed, in the original story, Ma Xiaotao turned evil during the finals, and even Elder Xuan escorted the corrupted Ma Xiaotao back to Shrek Academy overnight. The rest of the Shrek Academy members had no mood to celebrate.
But now, Shrek and his friends are in the mood for a good meal.
"If you ask me, instead of going to Jiubao Restaurant, we should buy some ingredients and have Yuhao cook a good meal. It will definitely taste better than the food at Jiubao Restaurant."
On their way to Jiubao Restaurant, the group chatted frequently. When it came to food, Ma Xiaotao immediately thought of the food that Huo Yuhao had taken out on the journey.
There was also the grilled fish that Huo Yuhao sold for a while before.
For some reason, Huo Yuhao hasn't been seen selling grilled fish since then; he probably doesn't have the time.
"With so many of us, Huo Yuhao would be exhausted if he had to cook all our meals by himself."
Upon hearing Ma Xiaotao's words, Wang Dong immediately retorted:
"And Senior Sister Xiaotao, you're mistaken. The food at Jiubao Restaurant is now just as good as Huo Yuhao's cooking."
"Oh?" Everyone looked at Wang Dong with some curiosity.
How could they not know the quality of the food at Jiubao Restaurant? As inner disciples and core disciples, they had been to Jiubao Restaurant quite often.
"You'll find out when the time comes," Wang Dong chuckled, deciding to give them some anticipation.
Others might not know, but how could Wang Dong not know? The Nine Treasures Chamber of Commerce had recently bought Huo Yuhao's culinary skills from him.
That night, Huo Yuhao spent a lot of effort writing recipes and drawing kitchenware blueprints.
With so many days having passed since the Soul Master Competition, given the efficiency of the Nine Treasures Chamber of Commerce, the chefs at the Nine Treasures Restaurant should have already mastered the skills by now.
The Nine Treasures Chamber of Commerce in Xingluo City is far more luxurious than that in Shrek City.
Come to think of it, Shrek City has to consider the reputation of Shrek Academy, after all, it's the location of the number one power in the world, and it would be inappropriate for the guest to overstep its bounds.
Once they arrived in Xingluo City, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School had fewer concerns. In addition, the Nine Treasure Merchant Guild had always been a major taxpayer of the Xingluo Empire, so as long as they didn't break the rules, the Nine Treasure Merchant Guild could build as luxurious buildings as they wanted.
The Nine Treasures Chamber of Commerce even built a top-tier palace exclusively for itself in Xingluo City.
Its interior encompasses almost all of the Nine Treasures Chamber of Commerce's high-end businesses, which are divided into different halls according to different categories.
Shrek and his group's target was the Jiubao Restaurant in the Jiubao Chamber of Commerce Park.
Seeing the bustling crowd at Jiubao Restaurant and hearing the enticing aroma wafting from within, Shrek and his group were dumbfounded.
Even the restaurant was already full. To accommodate these diners, the restaurant had to move tables outside the palace. A large group of wealthy people sat in the open air, eating with their mouths full of oil.
Even outside, it was so crowded that it was hard to move. Several restaurant employees were delivering food by releasing various flying martial spirits, and some were even wearing flying soul tools to deliver food in the air...
Seeing this, Wang Dong asked incredulously, "Why are there so many people?"
Judging by the size of this crowd, even the combined population of all other areas of the Jiubao Chamber of Commerce wouldn't be as large as here.
After finally squeezing through the bustling crowd of diners, Shrek and his group managed to get inside the restaurant.
"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"
The receptionist looked up at the group of people in front of her.
"Hello, I'd like a private room." As he spoke, Wang Yan took out a business card representing Shrek Academy and placed it on the front desk.
"Well... sir, as you can see, our restaurant is completely full right now, and all the private rooms are already occupied."
Upon hearing Wang Yan's words, the receptionist instinctively spoke up and took the business card that Wang Yan handed her.
"Shrek... Shrek!?"
The receptionist's eyes suddenly widened, she rubbed them in disbelief, and looked again carefully.
Indeed, it's the same as the official Shrek logo she learned about.
By the way, it's the Soul Master Competition during this period, so it's not surprising that Shrek Academy members are in Star Luo City.
"Please wait a moment, I'll go and ask the person in charge."
The receptionist gave Shrek and his group a quick bow, then turned and left in a hurry.
Wang Yan gave a wry smile and said, "I didn't expect Jiubao Restaurant to be so popular that there aren't even any private rooms left."
