Chapter 1564: Chapter 1557
Bai You was in a great mood, and since the Fourth Prince suggested inviting several people to the Spiritual Food Restaurant, she agreed.
"This Spiritual Food Restaurant is new. Although it doesn’t have the prestigious reputation of previous places, the spirit cuisine here is quite unique in taste. Miss Bai and Young Master Sikong will know when you try it later. I’ve asked the shopkeeper to personally attend to us and explain the origins of each spirit dish, which will surely help Miss Bai with her upcoming special assessment."
The Fourth Prince invited with a smile.
The waiter quickly delivered the spirit cuisine.
"This dish is the specialty of our head chef, a three-star spirit cuisine..."
The shopkeeper personally brought up the first dish, and as soon as it was opened, without introduction.
Before their eyes was an empty plate.
"This..."
The shopkeeper broke out in a cold sweat.
"Fourth Prince, please forgive us, there must have been a mix-up at the kitchen, quickly bring up the second dish."
The shopkeeper wiped the sweat off his forehead, gave a look, and hurriedly ordered the second dish to be served.
But when the second dish was presented, it was opened to reveal another empty plate.
"This is outrageous! Shopkeeper, are you tired of life!"
The Fourth Prince was furious.
How could he be made to lose face in front of esteemed guests?
"Fourth Prince, please calm down. What on earth is going on, all the dishes were prepared early especially to host you."
The shopkeeper quickly checked several dishes and found that all prepared spirit cuisine had disappeared.
"It’s terrible, shopkeeper, the dining hall is haunted, the prepared ingredients and some spirit cuisines have vanished."
The head chef and assistant chefs rushed to report.
Today the Fourth Prince brought honored guests, and the shopkeeper had specially closed the restaurant to outsiders, not expecting such an incident.
"Haunted? I think you are intentionally mocking me, guards, take the shopkeeper and these chefs..."
The Fourth Prince’s face was full of anger.
"Fourth Prince, please don’t get angry. I think it’s not haunted..."
Sikong Ran looked at the few empty plates.
The plates were very clean, with not even a drop of broth left.
However, Sikong Ran noticed a small footprint under the plates.
Speaking, Sikong Ran stood up, looked along the table, and found small footprints on the side of the table, inconspicuous corners of the wall, and wooden beams.
"What is this?"
Everyone present was astonished.
Sikong Ran made a gesture for silence.
Suddenly, he stepped lightly and jumped onto the beam.
On the beam came the sound of snoring.
Sikong Ran saw something.
A small, fluffy yellow thing held a roast chicken leg, its belly round and full.
"So the ghost is it."
Sikong Ran swiftly grabbed Rong Qiu.
Rong Qiu, after eating its fill, felt sleepy and simply hid on the roof to sleep.
It dreamed it was gnawing on candied gourds, pillow on spiritual delicacy buns, utterly happy.
Suddenly, it heard a shout.
"What a cute little creature! Brother Ran, can I touch it?"
Rong Qiu woke up startled.
It struggled to open its eyes.
What it saw were several faces.
Rong Qiu then realized it was being held.
A woman, who seemed annoying, was about to touch its fur.
Jiu Jiu!
Rong Qiu’s fluffy fur stood on end.
What a joke, a warrior can be killed but not humiliated!
Not just anyone is allowed to touch it!
Rong Qiu did not hesitate, its eyes like Hei Dou melon seeds, small flames of anger suddenly roared!
