Chapter 142: Provoke
The Spirit Turtle Caravan had set a restaurant on the upper floor, especially open to passengers.
The restaurant was a square flat building in the center of the upper floor. A colosseum was located in the middle of the restaurant, and two selected beasts were fighting against each other in the colosseum, for the guests to watch.
Hundreds of square tables, which were made from logs, were placed in the lobby of the restaurant. Waitresses were walking around the lobby and serving guests. The restaurant served not only all kinds of wines and delicious food, you could even find maids who could escort you to the bed, here. Behind a long corridor, which circled around the entire lobby, were tens of independent private dining rooms, for rich guests who preferred a quiet environment and were willing to pay extra.
Ji Hao and Si Wen Ming were sitting at a square table in a corner of the lobby, each holding a small vat in their hands and pouring the booze into their mouths. From time to time, they would grab a large piece of pot roasted meat from the tray in front of them, and wolf it; both of them completely ignored the two scantily dressed lady maids, who were smiling at them the whole time.
Both the booze and the meat were quite expensive. Five hundred milliliter of booze was being sold for one jade coin. According to Si Wen Ming, in Pu Ban City, one jade coin was equal to the household cost of an ordinary family, for a whole three months. A tray of meat was sold for five jade coins. Although the tray had a diameter of three feet, and large pieces of the meet were piled up on it, the price was indeed expensive.
Even though the booze and the meet were expensive, they were worth the price.
The booze was made with spirit spring mixed earth essence milk, added with spirit fruits collected from within the depth of the jungle. This kind of booze was capable of improving the condition of the human body. The meat was from a recently promoted Senior-Level beast, and was actually beneficial for Ji Hao.
While the two of them were eating and drinking, Si Wen Ming didn’t stop telling Ji Hao about things that he needed to pay attention to.
Man Man was squatting beside the colosseum, with the pair of large hammers leaning on both of her shoulders. Her voice had been resounding across the entire lobby.
“Bite it! Bite it! Scratch it! Spew your venom! Stupid thing! Stupid thing! How could this one loose again! Come, skin it and grill it, serve it to uncle Wen Ming and Ji Hao!”
A few servant from the caravan, who were grinning ear to ear, hurriedly grabbed an iron hook and hooked an iron-skinned gigantic lizard out of the colosseum. Few of the servants then carried the tree to five zhang long beast on their shoulders, and walked into the kitchen.
Man Man took out a few baby-head-sized, pure and shining jade pieces, and threw them to the waitress beside her, after which she thought for a while with a frown, then pointed at a tusked mandrill that was kept in a large cage on her left, while yelling, “This one! Let it out! I don’t believe that none of my selected babies can beat this thing!”
Inside the colosseum, a fire-eyed bear, who was standing human-like, was madly beating its own chest and roaring towards Man Man, while spurting large amounts of fire sparks out of its mouth.
Man Man narrowed her eyes, stood up as well and began beating her own chest like a crazy gorilla, after which she opened her mouth and spew out a dragon-shaped column of flame directly onto the floor beside the bear.
An over ten-zhang in radius pit instantly appeared on the metal-poured floor, and countless spell symbols flashed on the edge of the large pit while bursting out fire sparks.
The fire-eyed bear instantly quivered in fear. As a beast that possessed fire power, it clearly sensed the terrifyingly great bloodline power of the Fire God coming from Man Man, and didn’t dare to roar at Man Man any longer.
Man Man raised her head and laughed out aloud, then proudly yelled, “Hurry! Let that mandrill out! This time it will certainly win!”
Gui Three, who seemed to be able to make a sudden appearance anywhere, appeared behind Man Man once again with a helpless expression. He slightly dragged Man Man’s sleeve and said, “This...little girl, the colosseum...in order to make it firm enough, we have paid a famous architect to build it...”
Before Gui Three had finished his speech, Man Man had taken out a fist-sized, fire-red precious stone, and threw it to Gui Three.
Gui Three instantly stopped talking, happily let out a big grin to Man Man, gripped the precious stone, turned around and walked away. After having taken two steps, he abruptly turned around, seriously bowed in front of Man Man, then said, “Man Man, my lady, our Spirit Turtle Caravan is planning to expand this city...if you’re bored here, you can feel free to tear this city apart...”
Man Man paused for a second, then sniffed scornfully.
