"Let’s see if I can find a way to persuade him to accept the Peridot Flower." She burst into a loud, mischievous laugh, her eyes sparkling with cunning delight.
Her charming, healthy face looked as if the earlier defeat she suffered at the hands of Huang Bai Xing in Rainrealm Continent had not left a mark on her at all. (Ch. 738)
"What are you staring at? Do you want the Peridot Flower too?" Her gaze suddenly darted towards them, her sweet smile as inviting as candy.
The others felt their lips twitch, shaking their heads as they turned back to their meals. Meanwhile, a demon waiter rushed in to fix the broken chair and table, using his magic to clean the mess on the floor.
Everyone moved with an ease that suggested this was not the first time Peridot Melody had been flung about by someone.
The demon waiter clenched his teeth in frustration; though he harbored resentment, he had no means to confront Peridot Melody—after all, how could one challenge this little ancestor who endowed with such immense power?
Shenlian Yingyue glanced at Peridot Melody and noted her increased cultivation.
{During their time in Fantasy Land, her strength had been hampered by the celestial laws; there, she could not fully unleash her might or wreak havoc upon the Mortal Realm.} Xiao Yun’s voice resonated in her mind.
Shenlian Yingyue exhaled deeply in understanding. Back on the Yellow Planet, she had been fortunate enough to confront Peridot Melody, Mist Demon, and Leaf Demon during the sect tournament. (Ch. 513-515)
Now, if she were to engage Peridot Melody in battle, she doubted she could easily secure a victory. The disparity in strength sparked a renewed determination within her.
"What’s the total for the meal?" She inquired, turning to the demon waiter, who seemed lost in his own morose thoughts.
"One hundred best-grade spirit stones," the demon waiter replied, though his heart was heavy with the knowledge of the damages. The furniture was expensive, and given that this guest was not responsible for the destruction, it felt wrong for him to demand she pay for all the meal she hadn’t even completed.
Shenlian Yingyue pulled out the spirit stones and handed them over. Yet, instead of merely one hundred, she offered one hundred fifty best-grade spirit stones.
The demon waiter was taken aback, looking at her with curiosity. She had not consumed the final plate of food and had yet to finish the rest; why would she pay the full price? Regardless, gratitude swelled within him for her unexpected generosity.
The demons were notorious for their cruelty, cunning strategies, and ruthless nature, yet that didn’t equate to a lack of gratitude. Just as he was about to voice his appreciation, she turned away abruptly.
Shenlian Yingyue offered no explanations and made no effort to listen for his thanks. Silently, she exited the restaurant, her back to him.
Xiao Yun acknowledged her action with a nod, while Xiao Qiu quietly gave her a thumbs-up.
Rather than flaunting her riches, she displayed restraint. The immense wealth she possessed was generated monthly from the Dragon Spiritual Veins. She could easily have given the demon waiter a far more generous tip, but she understood the perils of excessive wealth; she was wise about her spending.
The demon waiter’s expression was a mixture of confusion and admiration.
Shenlian’s Hanfu and cloak, though simple, were crafted from excellent materials, far from the low-quality fabric many wore.
Yet, the use of a medium-grade storage bag hinted at her modest means. In a world where advanced spatial tools were the norm, it was unusual for anyone to be seen with such bags.
